It is vital that we keep the efforts of so many students across the United States from going to waste. We need to keep the momentum going and ensure that news of the cruelty happening to the people of Palestine is not ignored or suppressed.
Despite what many news outlets may have you believe, what is happening in our world is not minor in the slightest. It is a genocide that is happening before our eyes, day after day. Do not forget the administrative responses these colleges have given to the act of bringing attention this inhumanity. This is history happening now, and these colleges are on the wrong side of it.
These students are calling to divest college funds from Israel. Do not let the media warp their efforts and paint them as an antisemitic mob. Do not let those opposing these demonstrations hide behind claims of antisemitism to justify their actions. This is about stopping human suffering, and to believe anything different is willful ignorance.

i want to use my platform for good. shahed, a mother from gaza, and her family need to escape as soon as possible due to the intense attacks on their home city - their current short-term goal is $10,000 but they're still so far from even that. please donate if you can, and share - not just online, but in real life too! put up posters, tell friends with money to spare, whatever it is just help out in any way you can. that goes for any other GFM or campaign you see for any other family facing genocide in their country - palestine, sudan, ukraine, and many others. you can make a difference!!!!!!! 🫶🏿🍉
I am so excited to announce that I have LAUNCHED A PATREON! Woohoo!! I’m even more excited to announce that the debut is an early release for the long awaited chapter 11 of TDIAG! ((the chapter will be uploaded on to tumblr and wattpad two weeks after its patreon upload)).
It’s $5 a month, and alongside early access to TDIAG updates, my patreon will offer exclusive teasers, unannounced ficlets (some patreon exclusives, some early release) like Gladiator!Harry, TA!Harry, Angry ballet man, a gruff vampire x his familiar, TRIVIA MAN, and a possible patreon exclusive unfinished fic that stands at over 120K in word count! There will also be early access to the second part of Ride the Tiger (pornstar!au), to Glaze (second part of pottery man), and patreon exclusive extras for both TDIAG and Ride the Tiger! I will also be writing patreon exclusive blurbs unrelated to the aforementioned, and I am open to taking requests!
For now, I am aiming to post two pieces a week + exclusive teasers, polls, and check-ins. I am absolutely brand new to patreon, and have so much appreciation for your patience in this first trial month. I’m eager to hear your feedback, your requests, and ways that I can possibly improve my patreon to make it an awesome space for you guys!
gotta ask… what is stimming? Is that only for people with autism?
stimming (self-stimulatory behavior) is repetative movements/behaviors/noises, and its not exclusive to autism. everyone stims to some degree! toe and finger tapping, pen clicking, playing with your hair or an accessory, even listening to music, enjoying certain smells, etc, etc, etc. the difference between stimming in autism versus in non autistics comes down to the type of stims, the frequency or quantity, and the purpose behind them. the sort of stereotyped stimming behavior you may be thinking of is of course the most widely associated with autism, but like i said everyone does stim to some degree! stimming is also commonly seen in adhd, sensory processing disorder, and a few others as well!
