the overwhelming grief of losing an entire year to sickness, violence and pandemic fatigue is settling in so id like to remind everyone that: you are not a failure, yes there is still a happy future for you, and wearing a mask is very sexy
and that’s all you need to know about these people’s so called “morality”.
Pro-life my ass!
Abortion should be free, safe and available for all who seek it <3
Abortion Clinic Employee Shares How Some Pro-Life Women Act When They Come In As Customers
I am not surprised that anti-choice zealots would hypocritically obtain abortions, but I am thoroughly fucking shocked that they wouldn’t even attempt to hide their anti-choice views when doing so.
Russia is trying to ban legal transition for trans people
Elena Mizulina put forward a bill, that basically bans legal transition. It includes:
Adding the “sex” graph to the birth certificate. That graph cannot be changed in any way, and you also can’t get a new passport because of that.
banning (again) same-sex marriage, but now it is made based on the birth certificate so trans people cannot marry their loved ones.
banning the right to adopt children for the trans people
and WORSE, ALL THE CHANGES MADE IN THE PAST WILL BE DECLINED. People will get their old birth certificates back. the existing marriages will be no longer legal. And I don’t even want to think what will happen to the already adopted children of transgender parents
People are scared as fuck. I see lots of panic in russian social media and also on Twitter. They made a hashtag #ProtectRussianTransLives, so you can check it out for more info. And yeah, people started protesting.
The protest hasn’t even started properly. The police detained all of them, called them slurs, misgendered them, asked about genitals. Those pigs arrested two women - Mila Zemtsova and Polina Symonenko
Mila is a journalist who came there with a license. The police immediately arrested her for the organization (!) of the protest which is absolute nonsense. They kept her in the police department for more than 48 hours and took away her phone. She got a fine for nothing.
(translation: I want to not be afraid to show my passport)
Polina’s case is worse. She was arrested for repeated violation of the procedure for holding a public action (hope I wrote it right). Polina was also kept in the department for 48+ hours (it is illegal), misgendered and deadnamed. She was beaten in the court for taking a legal break. They gave her 14 days in a men’s prison.
This is hell. Please spread this post. People must know about this.
If you are from Russia, you can write a letter to the government. Here’s the link for the instruction:
Gosh I hate grind culture. My little sister just started medical school and all of her orientation leaders are like “you absolutely cannot have a life WHATsoever you WILL have to give up EVERYTHING besides this program say GOODBYE to your hobbies and relationships” and now she’s calling me feeling guilty for running and going to the grocery store and that’s just WRONG! And that is exactly what I was told starting law school as well, and rejecting that mentality was the best thing I ever did but it was so hard not to buy into. Anyway if any of you are in an intense academic program PLEASE take time to sleep and eat and exercise and maintain your relationships and keep up your hobbies! you are not a robot who exists solely to study and I promise that living a life and staying physically and mentally healthy is not going to make you fail
Please, don’t let what happened to Sense8 (and many other Netflix shows) happen to The Old Guard. Sense8 had representation: pansexuality, a trans main character and so much more… but its popularity didn’t grow as expected (Netflix spent way too much money for each episode but they didn’t get the views they wanted).
You may be thinking: but it is popular on tumblr already. Yes, it is. But remember that there are so many hetero shit shows and films that get the views, I don’t even want to mention them… but you know which…
Don’t let The Old Guard be “tumblr popular” only, recommend it to your friends and family and if you haven’t watched it
me convincing everyone i know to STREAM THE OLD GUARD (2020) DIR. GINA PRINCE-BYTHEWOOD ON NETFLIX SO WE CAN GET OUR DAMN SEQUELS GREENLIT SO I CAN FINALLY REST 🗣🗣🗣🗣
If you guys have ADD/ADHD, autism, OCD, or something else that affects your ability to concentrate, I highly recommend the chrome extension Mercury Reader. You just open whatever link you're using, then click on the MR icon (it should look like a rocket) and it'll simplify the page so that it's in a focus-friendly layout. Instead of having random pictures and word boxes all over the screen, it'll be in a vertical format with nothing to distract you so you can focus on what's important. You can also adjust the text size (small, medium, large), font (serif, sans), and theme (light, dark). And the best part is, it's completely free! It's honestly one of the best things I've ever downloaded.
This is an article without the extension. See that messy format, and how the actual article content only takes up a fraction of the page? It's no wonder it took me 7 hours to write that paper.
The same article, this time with Mercury. The user-friendly settings are at the top, and the rest of the article is formatted vertically down the middle with no free-roaming pictures or words. How nice.
