Discrimination Faced by the Hijra Community
Many in Western cultures hear of people identifying as something other than male or female and think it’s a new fad. Something that’s just started recently and will decline in popularity some day soon. However, in Hindu cultures, a third gender has been recognized for over 2,000 years. They are called “hijras” and are described as a third, completely different gender with spiritual ties. Though…

The "radical leftists" on this site who talk constantly about the importance of solidarity and kindness and compassion and then immediately tell anyone who disagrees with them to kill themselves are going to be devastated when they learn how much of actual union organizing involves talking to people whose politics you find incredibly repugnant and meeting them where they're at in order to find common ground

This is a verified fundraiser for a family of four to evacuate to Cairo. The fund's creator, Amal Abu Shammala, reached out to me personally to share this since she's failed to get her fund on Operation Olive Branch and Let's Talk Palestine's fundraising linktree.
As of right now, she has raised €2,397/ €42,000. You can see the breakdown of what the money will be used for in the fund description.
Please give generously!

"Some people say light is waves, and some say it's particles, so I bet light is some in-between thing that's both wave and particle depending on how you look at it. Am I right?" "YES, BUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE!"
Orbital Argument [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball and Megan are arguing. Cueball is raising a finger while Megan's arms are outstretched. White Hat stands between them, both hands out in an equivocal gesture.]
Cueball: The sun orbits the earth!
Megan: The earth orbits the sun!
White Hat: When two people disagree, the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Maybe the earth and the sun orbit a common center!
Caption: It's annoying when people are right by accident.

Aphobia in Practice
Want to support the people around you who have come out as asexual, aromantic, or otherwise a-spec? Here's how to recognize aphobia so you can better support those around you.
Aromantic-Asexual Colors
We’ve all been a part of an uncomfortable discussion where someone is non-stop trashing queer people, and most of us have a pretty good grasp of what that looks like these days. But when it comes to the asexual and aromantic spectrums (a-spec), its not as clear. Aphobia is still extremely common in day-to-day conversations, whether most people are aware what they’re…

I've been totally fixated on the fact that gwen stays with hobie when she's not on spider-team missions so here's some fun notes
gwen says that hobie lets her crash in his universe- not "house" or "place" or "apartment", because hobie is homeless
she wears his chucks (how is she fitting into his shoes?) which is funny because hobie's original spider-punk costume included him wearing chucks, but in the movie he only wears boots
in the comics, the gwen stacy of earth-138 was, in hobie's words, "the greatest artist of [their] generation" who died a punk-rock legend, and hobie was/is a big fan of hers. gwen thinks his universe is cool and thinks it's extra cool that she's famous there, so his universe is probably something of a comfort place for her
gwen is apparently in his band (possibly his friend group which he calls the spider-band despite the fact that they're not actually a band and the others are not spideys), though gwen once rejected hobie's proposal of making an album together because his singing voice is awful (still, this was after they saved the world by playing punk rock together)
also, it's interesting to read "coming out as a superhero" as a queer allegory and it works in this situation as it parallels queer kids being kicked out of their homophobic homes and staying with friends in the aftermath
anyways. support the gwen and hobie besties agenda <3

if you think i am going to care abt mens opinions on lesbianism please consider:
killing yourself is faster and has a more positive effect on society
i have three (3) weed smoking girlfriends to fuck rather than waste time on your essays about how men are oppressed or whatever
yes im a mean nasty bitchy exclusie im sorry that trans men arent magically also lesbians the afab connection is meaningless to me :( sorry for not buying into bioessentialism i guess
if you arent a lesbian you should be embarrassed #skilldiff #gws
in order to comment defending your points in including men in a community of women* who are exclusively attracted to other women* you must first go to my pinned post and open that kofi link and send a minimum of 3 dollars. if u send more than 10 ill even deign to read your essay to make fun of you before blocking and moving on w my day. 😁👍
