The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR

Thread of trans women who'll be in trouble soon due to SNAP suspension.

a poorly edited meme of haus of declines Steven Universe Hitler comic edited to to look like agent 47 being told "I think we're gonna have to kill this guy 47" and agent 47 saying "damn"

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.

It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.

We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

a little bit. mostly just in that I prefer supporting smaller artists.

So a group of trans folks in Portland are trying to secure funds for a property they can use to house homeless bipoc trans women and femmes as well as providing meals to the growing homeless population. Literally anything helps so please donate or spread the word!

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

seeing too many “don’t criticize Dems when fighting fascism” posts

but the fact we CAN criticize them is the point

things like trans rights are non-negotiable

Dems who think otherwise are SIDING WITH THE FASCISTS

and we SHOULD call them out for that actually!

how else are they gonna change?

It's so crazy we live in a world where female athletes are striking for better wages and dodging sex toys being thrown at them, while trans athletes are being accused of evil scheming so they can play women's sports, which pays well and is highly dignified. It's almost like someone's full of shit

One of the most disheartening things about trans advocacy is how little the people who claim to be on our side actually listen to us.

"trans-identifying", "biological sex", and a variety of other GC dogwhistles have become common parlance because people listen to our enemies, but not us.

i will always side with sex workers and smut creators and you should too. kill the puritanical pearl-clutching brainworm raising a stink about respectability and optics. it is a backdoor fascists will use to sneak their way into your sympathies. porn is good, sex is normal, kink is human. grow up.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer authors without supporting 'nsfw' content.

sorry but in a society that is trying to ban hrt for trans people the trans ppl who do not need hrt should either be shutting the fuck up or radically preaching about how hrt is lifesaving medication. your validity doesn’t fucking matter if we’re all dead

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes TERFs

All resources dedicated to jerking off about Biocosmism or whatever fun performance pet philosophy should be rerouted into volunteering, organizing, phone banking and canvassing for local people who will get in the way of this. Fun time is over

It says a lot about where we’re at in this country that a beloved voice actor was murdered by his homophobic neighbor and every headline is still running passive defense for his killer, doing everything not to call this hate crime what it was. These are scary times. RIP to Jonathan Joss.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED.

Words matter here.

He was MURDERED.

it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man.

Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

only getting 16 episodes is bad. not having him face a single dalek, cyberman, angel, hell even a sontaran is worse.

if a kid you thought was a boy tells you she's a girl, she's a girl. her sex is female. you let her use the girl's bathrooms, you let her play sports with the girls, you let her stop going through a boy puberty. anything less is abuse, whether you're her family or her government

homophobic pope is back. hopefully this deters youth from becoming devoutly religious

José ‘Pepe’ Mujica, former guerrilla and ex-president of Uruguay, dies aged 89 In a final interview, Mujica said: ‘We are too focused on wealth and not on happiness … Before you know it, life has passed you by’

Pepe Mujica, the anarchist guerilla who became president of Uruguay, has passed on. He leaves behind as good a legacy as it's possible to leave.

So it goes.

an under discussed aspect of the “birth rate decline panic” is that young people keep voting for politicians and agendas that never win in america and feel like the world is doomed, while older generations keep reiterating that doom cycle and forcing agendas on younger generations that fuck us

Freedom to liberals is sentimental. Means nothing. Empty. Individualist. Freedom needs to be realized through the end of class based exploitation. The freedom to have your basic needs met. The freedom to not have what you produce with your labor acquired by a billionaire to sell for profit.

Progress means that the lives of people you loathe, people who have opposed you every step of the way, will improve.

They will not thank you. They will not learn the error of their ways. They will not repent or grovel or beg or plead for forgiveness.

Progress means working for that anyway.

it's been twenty eight years.
please read a second book. find a new ip.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

If you are a socialist that doesn’t eventually want a communist society what you desire is a socialist society that ends up reverting back to capitalism. The contradiction of the capitalist class not being fully suppressed will result in their reemergence as a ruling force.

When we begin to fear the unknown, the future dies—wrapped so tightly in the present that it can no longer move forward. To many, I, as a trans person, am the unknown. A question they do not want to ask, a possibility they refuse to imagine. You are told to fear me. But before others ever feared me, I was taught to fear myself. I was taught that the unknown inside me was dangerous, something to suppress, something to deny. I know what it is like to be afraid of the real me. And I can tell you, without hesitation—it sucks. But here is what they never told me: the unknown isn’t empty. The void isn’t waiting to swallow you whole. When you reach for yourself, you are there. When I finally let go of fear and met myself—truly, fully—it wasn’t tragedy. It wasn’t loss. It was joy. And getting to know me, the real me, is joyful too. Just as getting to know the real you will be. We reach for each other in the unknown because we reach for ourselves—because we are each other, just refracted through different prisms of possibility. Variations of the same question: What does it mean to be? What does it mean to exist in this body, with this face, with this voice? What would it be like to be me, but shaped by different hands, different histories, different stars? This is why we tell stories, why we imagine beyond the limits of our own skin. We want to know what it is like to be ourselves in other bodies, to see the infinite versions of who we could be, who we already are. We are each reaching forward, reaching outward, reaching into the dark with the hope that something—someone—will reach back. And we do. We always do.
