when i say i like hiking, i don’t mean “eight mile backpacking trip with special gear and an emergency beacon” sort of hiking, i mean a three mile loop to go look at pretty things and then a huge brunch after.

A general reminder—periodic cicadas pose no threat to anyone and their plant damage is limited to nipping off the ends of twigs. Please do not hose them with pesticide. They are slow and clumsy and confused and only want to make friends with other cicadas and eventually die of sexual exhaustion.
Yes, the screaming is a lot, but they’ve been extremely quiet neighbors for thirteen years, cut them some slack as they go through the most fraught time of their lives.

Here is a convenient post you can show to convince skeptical people that the ask they are receiving is a scam. Should have done this with that sanguineposhrat asshole but I got impatient, that's partly on me:
[ID: four screenshots of asks sent by four different tumblr users.
upper left image is from user joyfultyrantkoala. it reads: "Hello everyone, I am Valentine from Palestine. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin, just an injection for today to save my life please I beg.I was diagnosized with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes and due to current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week. My donation link is attached in the pinned post, kindly donate and share to reach many people."
upper right image is from user almostbigkryptonite. it reads: "Hi, sorry for temporarily posting this message into your inbox, I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin (Humalog), just an injection for today to save my life please I beg.I was diagnosised with type 1 diabetes and due to current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week My donation link is available on my pinned post"
bottom left image is from user peacemakerpatroll. it reads: "Hello this a long shot call, am LEILA MOHAMMED RAJAB popularly known as TAHEERA a citizen of Palestine. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin (Humalog), just an injection for today to save my life please I beg.I was diagnosised with type 1 diabetes and due to current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week"
bottom right image is from user delicatephilosophertiger. it reads: "Hello this a long shot call, am Elizabeth a citizen of Palestine. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin (Humalog), I was diagnosised with type 1 diabetes and due to current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week. Any donation will mean world to me. You can donate using the link in my pinned post. Thank you 🖤"
the images have been edited with a static filter. End of ID.]
If someone sent you this post, you likely needed convincing that you really were talking to a scammer. Now that you know better, kindly go to @el-shab-hussein 's blog, and choose a vetted fundraiser to donate to. If you are not planning on donating, reblog as many of the fundraisers he has posted as you can. Try to actually read and be familiar with what an actual Palestinian fundraiser looks like, so that you can differentiate the real ones from the scam ones. This is the LEAST amount of effort you can do for Palestinian families.

We love to see it. The stock values of the private tax filing duopoly- TurboTax and Intuit- are down more than 5% this week because of this news. If the IRS keeps up the good work, it is within our power to destroy them 😊

this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.

my mundane super power is being really good at picking out what strings of words can be sung to the tune of “teenage mutant ninja turtles.” this is primarily a curse.

“platonic age gaps are problematic-“
are you guys really not friends with your parents? your siblings? your older and younger cousins? your professors and teachers and mentors? the regulars at the cafe twice your age? your motherfucking grandparents? open your eyes and your hearts to what a friend can be.

Pride Month is upon us again and so it is time to repost my little guy, Hue! I’m wishing everyone a safe, supportive, positive, and enlightening Pride, whether you’re all the way “out” or not!

The response to "ace people are just virgins who can't get laid!" Shouldn't be "ace people can still have sex!" but instead " being a virgin isn't a bad thing."
The response to "aro people are just heartless freaks!" Shouldn't be "aro people can still feel love!" And instead be "not feeling love or other emotions doesn't make you a bad person."
Instead of pushing the idea that aspec people can be "normal like allos" we should instead be trying to normalize aspec experiences. Yes aspec people can be normal because aspec identities are normal. Some aros fall in love. some aces have sex. but they should not be the only valid aspec experiences. We should not use these experiences to make the aspec identity more palatable to amatonormativity and allos.
