people are always trying to rehabilitate being punk with all this like "being punk is fundamentally about freedom and love" stuff. are you sure you aren't thinking of like? romanticism? anyway, a lot of effort being spent tweely trying to bring back something that always sucked because ??? i guess it comports with like being a poorly thought out anarchist well

the fujoshi in enjoying gay pornography experiences a moment of contrapurposiveness in recognizing it is not "for her" but in the second moment reasserts her superiority over the object of judgment by babygirlifying it

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

Hello everyone,

Brazil is underwater, and we come here asking you for your help.

As some of you may know, the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) has been getting torrential rains since last Monday (29/04/24).

In four days, it has rained 436,2 millimeters (17,2 inches), which’s triple the normal amount in a month, which is 140 millimeters (5,5 inches) 

More than two great rivers in our region had their volume duplicated, or sometimes, triplicated in size.

This means all the cities that are close to these rivers ended up completely underwater

There were more than 110 towns flooded and the estimate is that more than half a million people have been affected by this climate disaster. There are also thousands of people who are arriving in my city (the state capital, Porto Alegre) as climate refugees, coming from communities displaced by the floods.

Through this unprecedented tragedy we have been really happy to see entire communities mobilizing to help others. Still, there are people who have lost everything, especially those in marginalized communities living in precarious, unsafe and unsanitary housing.

That’s where you come in. We need money. Money to buy food, clothes, medicine, basic hygiene products, mattresses so that refugees have a place to sleep, basically everything.

Right now, the biggest demand is drinkable water: my city is almost completely out of water, because the water treatment stations have been flooded. 

We understand that you may be able to give very little, but also what is little to you means A Lot more to us. Just a dollar is enough to buy 5 liters of fresh water. 

Here are the links for international donations: 

(these donations are managed by people I know and trust. if you can, donate to them and not the government, but I’ll include that below as well. we don't trust the government to do anything right now, basically) 

This is another option:

Government donations:

And here is some international news coverage of what’s happening:

PLEASE share and donate anything you can. Everything is greatly appreciated.

My favorite thing about the Roman republic is that at first you're like "Ooh they conquered the Mediterranean how did they do that" but as you look closer it becomes apparent they didn't know how it happened either and spent 80% of their time slapfighting each other.

terfs straight up do not like women. they talk big game about finding strength in fucking female pride or whatever and then act like anyone who finds real joy and delight in being a woman is some kind of "delusional" gender culture vulture. you scroll their blogs and 50% of their posts are "lol when libfems say [x]" and the other 50% are harassing random trans women. they identify what they think are the most pressing dangers of patriarchy and lay the blame squarely on women's shoulders for being too dumb to resist. they have bios like "I'm here to center women 💞" and I guess they're telling the truth because it's a 24/7 "here's another woman I hate" grindset over there. men are, at best, a macguffin in their ideology, they despise women exactly as much as all the fascist politicians whose policies they support.
