Ei meus,

Gonna share some stories of my people; Galizan people, and about our language: Galego. Experiences of violent spanish opression we had to face. A big part of our modern literature relies on preserving and giving a voice to the past, since for a long time our language and beautiful traditions "survived" by pure will with little to none access to writing. So did our experiences as one of the very mistreated nations forced within the Spanish state to this day.

“I am a donkey. I don't know how to talk”

"The teacher made some cardboard for them kids who spoke in galego. She'd put on them these big donkey ears, along with a sign sticked to them backs with «I am a donkey. I don't know how to talk» (in Spanish) written down.

She (the teacher) did this several times to a friend of mine, and also used to beat her up. I just can't forget about it, my child, for it was so cruel. I didn't even dare to talk about what was going on at school back at home. It was too rough”.

“He answered in galego in a spontaneous way. It didn't matter the teacher used to say he had this preference for that student with such an exemplary behavior, he got brutally beaten up. Hit him nonstop with a vimbio stick until red marks showed up on his skin all over the ears and face. The kid couldn't even understand why he got beaten up like that just for answering in galego. I mean, how would anyone understand such thing while being 10 y/o?"

“What are you speaking? you're not making any sense”

''The nun heard me speaking in galego, she came to me, said that she couldn't understand what I was saying and punished me on my knees at the "hard cement" school yard (a granulated hard texture) in front of all my classmates"

“I am a donkey”

"Back at school, when I was very little, there was a kid who didn't know Spanish. They hanged on his back a sign saying he was a donkey"

“Castillian chair” or “Spanish (from Spain) chair”

"Tied up to a chair for speaking galego at school. Locked down in the classroom closet because of saying words in the «forbidden tongue». On the knees on chickpeas because you didn't answer the teacher's question in spanish. The brutality against the galizan youth through generations left deep scars we all still suffering from with no care nor reparations"

“I'm going to wash your mouth with soap”

"At school the insults, mistreatment and threats for speaking galego made us become self-conscious and ashamed. It stopped us from expressing ourselves the way we were"

“I will not speak gallego” (Galego in Spanish)

"Everything you spoke a word in galego, they made you write down 1.000, 5.000 and even 10.000 times: «I will not speak gallego»

This was very common through all XX.

Still, last "known" case happened in the year 2002. Two little kids were forced to write “I will not speak gallego at class” 200 times.

"There was this punishment for speaking galego, you had to press a coin with the tip of your nose against the wall for hours. If the coin ever fell, their aggressions increased eachtime... These punishments came with the chants

«The gallego is for hillbillies/pagans/savages. You must speak the language of the Angels and God's Empire».

Another case, shared by Alfonso Eiré, teachers charged against a student at the Seminario de Lugo, because he refused to stop speaking in galego after several "warnings" and threats.

"[…] O. P Rancaño didn't let him finish, the professor punched him on the head making him fall to the ground. When the student tried to stand back up, he kicked him on the back and ass "Puskas" style, and immediately stated that he would remain on his knees through the whole basketball game, in the middle of the school yard.

Also the P.E teacher who was around, stated another (very popular) punishment on top of it: he had to press a coin against a column with his nose. Everytime it fell, he'd hit him in the back of the head (na caluga) provoking the kid to scratch his nose against the stone over and over".

Just a few stories, recopilated in the book of Carlos Callón "O libro negro da lingua Galega"

"Five centuries of keeping the galician language quiet"

People keep silencing, erasing and apropiating our culture and language to this day. Spain keeps denying our right to self determination and exploiting the land from the inside, fascist, imperialism propaganda everywhere. For them, we are the "completely assimilated" ones. Yet we keep being mistreated in many ways, especially if we proudly commit to our own national identity which, for some reason, they take as a personal threat.

"ONLY IN SPANISH. #GaliciansHillbillies. #HeilMadrid " 18 of July, 2023.

For all those who refuse to accept this keeps happening, or that it even happened.

UPDATE: More Vegetables!

Today, Hussam and his team in Rafah were busy sorting and packaging vegetables. They managed to put 200 packages, each with 10kilo of vegetables (potatoes, eggplants, lemon, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cucumber) and 3 packs of feta cheese for each family.

A few days ago, Hussam also bought diapers, soaps, and buckets to distribute to families with babies. All your donations go directly to Hussam. He still is able to withdraw cash from limited money sources but with high fees due to shortage of cash throughout Gaza. He now pays 15% in fees, which might increase in time. Please keep up the good work in spreading the word and donating.

Thank you so much for all your help these past few months!

if a lesbian wanted to fuck with me, a trans man, that wouldnt be anything but a compliment. btw

and shockingly enough it also wouldnt be any of anybodys business ever whatsoever.

#and guess what this is ME #if another t man feels uncomfortable by that that's acceptable #or if another lesbian would never ever fuck a guy thats also ok #but if im not applying my feelins universally dont you go around applying your feelings to the rest of us

[constantinoreal]

they’re doing bi lesbian / trans men lesbian discourse on twitter again and mostly it makes me happy that i’ve cultivated a space here where i do not see the dumb shit people say about bi + trans men lesbians . tumblr is great. love my followers . love bi lesbians and trans men lesbians

#reblog #wish it was only teens #but a good bunch of adults also participate in this shit #It's queer liberation until the liberation is at odds with my rigid definition of a label that I universally apply to everyone #anyway op is right

I wish all people who ever says or implies that making a originally female character a trans guy is ruining them, shuts up forever. Even other queer people does this. If y'all can celebrate a transfem or nonbinary hc y'all as hell can celebrate a transmasc one too.

realizing that sticking to the "do it bad" "do it scared" mentality implies theres also a "do it bored"

‼️hello, soft emergency post about me‼️

I don't usually make this sort of post but I am going to try and be vulnerable about something difficult

(cw: mental health talk below)

my c-ptsd is ruining my life, career, relationships, and will to live. i have been trying to get a therapist for a very long time that is fit for my conditions and it is very difficult where I live at the moment. in the meantime, I am trying my hardest with what I know and have and needless to say it is not enough anymore.

below I have two things that could help me immensely/slowly start to get me on a better track:

together the cost will be (softly rounded up) to $150.

I was wondering if anyone has found joy in my work, found comfort or humor in it/shared it with loved ones, could donate to my paypal. (link here) (@/veryluckclover) (there is no y in lucky)

or even donate to my ko-fi shop (link here)

you can even support me by buying a tattoo ticket (found on my ko-fi), or donating some dollars if you'd like some of my free goodies from gumroad. (link here for gumroad)

I am unable to open commissions as of now because my mental health has been so poor.

please do not feel forced to do this, and I will update anything donated and delete this if/when I reach my goal and make a huge thank you post for those who are able to help me. I will post proof that I have bought both products if the goal is reached.

I just feel at a loss now, and very lost. I get paranoid being too open publicly so this is a hard post for me to make but I feel comfortable on tumblr sharing this and asking for help.

if you're able to, thank you with my whole heart. and if not, that is completely okay. I would be beyond grateful if it could be shared.

I love you trans men, I love you because you're trans but also because you're men, hearts and rainbows to trans men

this might be insensitive but I really envy transmascs as a transfem, it seems so easy for transmascs to pass since the effects of testosterone are permanent for transfemmes and it sucks how my voice will be deep forever and i feel so ugly

the thing is, the effects of estrogen are permanent for us, too. i will always have boobs unless i get them surgically removed. i will always be 5’3. I will always have wide hips. etc. these are the things that make *me* feel ugly, and like I will forever be seen as a freak. it is absolutely not easier for trans men to pass, i literally have facial hair and I do not pass. people who have been on testosterone for years sometimes don’t pass. but heres the thing that is true for the both of us: we can and will find happiness, love and acceptance. And, we can both do things, including HRT, to transform our bodies into something we love. if it really seems that much easier on our side, im sorry to say you just dont know that many people on testosterone. its as simple as that. So please, focus on what you can do to make yourself happier, I know trans women who have transitioned so gracefully, it isnt an impossibility in the slightest. I know you are hurting, but it is possible.
