#is the community organized now?

[solarpunkani]

I saw this on Twitter and honestly felt a bit sick just thinking about it. The sheer determination some people have to keep anyone from getting any sort of help, any sort of benefits, to kick down someone who has such a big heart to help those around her?

Here's the Tiktok where the woman, Carly Burd, talks about it. She shows the salted state of the land. This video was posted 21 hours ago at the time of posting this.

Another video where she discusses it, this one was posted 4 hours ago. Over 5 kilograms of salt, she estimates, was put into the soil of her allotment. She'd already planted onions and potatoes with her kids, which are now ruined. She's working to find a solution, which I genuinely hopes she does.

From what I can tell, this is a GoFundMe that she runs--not just for this tragic occurrence, but to generally support the work she does. It has a goal of £4,000 pounds and at the time of writing this, it's raised over £54,000 pounds, but by all means if you want to donate and help her out I'm sure she wouldn't turn any help away.

I genuinely hope all the help she's getting with this lets her grow a lot more food and help a lot more people.

"Some UK woman on tiktok has been making videos about how she’s been feeding people (partly through an allotment) in her community who are struggling due to the cost of living crisis and then yesterday she posts that someone went and salted her land so she can’t grow food anymore" The second tweet has 25 replies, 1,391 retweets, and 14.5k likes. "Do you know how evil you have to be to sneak out at night, not to even steal to benefit yourself, but to destroy the possibility of people in need getting help?" End ID]

pretty please, my fellow progressives

Could we please all keep in mind that the concept of "The Jews In General, or A Specific Type Of Jew, Controls Education, Government, Media, and/or Banking", is a longstanding antisemitic trope?

And most of all, that it is false??

No, a marginalized group does not also control education, the government, the media, and/or banking?

No, Jews do not secretly control these things and just pretend to be marginalized? No, Jews have not secretly been accumulating power since the Holocaust, granted by too-generous gentiles, out of pity?

No, it isn't better if you just mean a specific subgroup or kind of Jews. It's still specifically Jews.

It's like when people who hate trans/queer people are fine with rich white cis gay men. So they think it's not bigoted to blame "people with blue hair and pronouns" for the downfall of society.

We all know this means, "I only see some of you as human like me. You have to speak and act a certain way to count. Everyone in your group has to pass a test to get into the Good group."

Doesn't work.

Sure, it gives them plausible deniability to the people who matter to them. But everyone else can see exactly how they feel.

We've all known for years that it's bad to think of a marginalized group as having some "good ones." Rein it the heck in, please.

Because YES, all of those examples are ones I've seen implied, or stated outright, over and over, within the progressive community. This month alone.

#antisemitism #anti-semitic #yes this is about how gentiles use zionism #yes this is about how fast it went from 'this isn't NECESSARILY antisemitic' to 'this ISN'T antisemitic' #yes this is about claiming that we claim antisemitism to deflect valid criticism #yes this is part of a larger pattern of violating every progressive standard but only for jews #none of us would ever say 'people are just claiming misogyny to deflect valid criticism' #we would never claim that trans people secretly control or “influence” the government #we would never treat Ukrainians like “'noble savages” who need us to speak for them #but we treat Palestinians like “noble savages” who need us to speak for them #we know to center the people affected and uplift their voices in every other situation #but in this situation we ignore the fact that we're supporting palestinians by talking ABOUT them #we swallow far-right Palestinian propaganda channeled through diaspora organizations #while Palestinians in Gaza demand completely different solutions and support #zionists echo Palestinian solutions and experiences because we know people in Israel and Palestine #and we get told we love genocide or just blocked #this is how Hamas propaganda is designed to work. Hamas has systematically silenced Palestinians for 18 years and now it's all you know #it is genuinely terrifying to see the entire progressive community sound exactly like the alt-right while it absolutely insists it's not #we also know to center marginalized people's voices about what harms them -- except the Jews? #honestly I think that progressives listened before Oct 7 and that the “no we just mean ZIONISTS are evil” has done wonders to reverse that #let's be real the zionists-not-jews trope comes from Hamas too #all it had to do was claim it definitely meant Zionists not Jews and that it was the Palestinian resistance and progressives flocked to it #its fighters were calling home from the massacre to boast about how many Jews they had killed. it has not changed. #i suppose that the zionists-not-jews thing gave freedom to unexamined antisemitism that people felt guilty about #but oh my god it caught on like absolute wildfire #wall of words

he's so important to me

#i guess i need to watch the anime but super's manga has just been a self-indulgent fever dream for me from start to finish #100000/10 absolutely perfect so validating so extremely catered to my tastes and headcanons and analyses and humor #so fucking funny and emotional and intense and goofy and beautifully drawn #my beautiful son getting to finally fucking see his HARD won character growth fucking shine and choose love and choose to be loved!!!!!! #Goku just being Goku Vegeta being Team Dad Piccolo being Team Grandpa Bulma being a fucking superstar keeping everybody organized and fed #god i love this squad i love this series i love these dumbasses and their struggles and their triumphs and their stupid childish bonding #I love that Toriyama just spent the last several years reminding the class that DB as a whole has always been an ACTION-COMEDY about LOVE #and I'm SO sad that the z anime really never did it justice in that sense because of having to fill time with dramatic tension but god. GOD #THE MANGA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SO CLEAR ON THAT THESIS. #Just all about Restorative Justice and Community and CARING even when you wish SO MUCH that you didn't care but yoU DO GODDAMMIT!!! #SUCH a great series I'm so sad it took losing mr t for me to finally read it but my god I needed to read it now and I'm so glad he wrote it #and i'm SO glad he wrote it Exactly Like This #once again rip to a legend i'm caught up and crying it's so perfect it's SO everything I've wanted to see onscreen and embedded in canon #and canon isn't everything but it still feels gREAT to be SO 1:1 on the same page with an author re: how you interpret your blorbo yknow??? #been rotating this man in my head for 25 years and Mr Toriyama just mWAH kissed me on the forehead about it #anyway enough tag rambles I'm off again aklsjla #bonus for that kenpachi shit and letting him say 'sorry dude I can't be cold and numb anymore but this is still cathartic as fuck lol' like #mr t i hope you see the HIGHEST tier of heaven for that (and obviously for like everything all of it the whole life you led)

[blazeball]

it makes me really happy to peak into the SIBR server and see people still working really hard at preserving blaseball and cracking it wide open. everyone in there is so talented and the sole reason why we have so much of blaseball still at our fingertips

#if we did not have sibr. blaseball would have never gotten thr community it has #but also i think with how blaseball was... an organization like sibr was inevitable #im not nearly skilled enough to have participated in sibr's stuff but i have always admired them #so its really heartening to see people take the end of blaseball not as an end to their work with blaseball #okay. i just woke up. im gonna brush my teeth and eat breakfast now #quincy.txt

oh i am so mad at cis intersex people rn i cannot do this

#personal #im at work so i don't have time to go into the whole rant but just know that im screaming #maybe i will come back and elaborate in a second #but all im going to say is don't you fucking dare say that you think trans people get too much attention #without fucking acknowledging the incredibly transphobic history of almost all us intersex organizations #how most diagnosis specific groups are incredibly transphobic and actively lobby AGAINST intersex affirming legislation #i can't get into right now #but i am so fucking done with cis intersex ppl publically advocating for things that enforce the sex binary and then #getting mad when trans intersex ppl say 'transphobia in the intersex community is a problem

need to think about something taffy and coco can do during the timeskip because i am now thinking it would be awesome if all mochis guild members joined an (at least partially) antagonistic purpose after she left and the timeskip begins with a bunch of missions trying to get them back

#i am still thinking about this as an rpg #gotta do 3-4 quests first getting your guild back before you can actually advance the main quest #lime -> m34th regiment #oscar -> madam springs #coco (and by consequence taffy) -> ???? #mochi would kick madam springs ass to get oscar back on board #its been on my mind to make some kind of overarching organization anyway #something like the adventurers guild in genshin #the people who post the commissions and you sign up for magic community jobs #hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm #i am only now thinking of the possibility of separating coco and taffy................................... #taffy does the (ive been fucked up my whole life and i need to figure some stuff out) trope and fucks off for a while #mayhaps????? eyes emoji????

i think he witnessed a fire at someone else's house because he's aspirationally in the red. after smashing some flowers in rage he just started raking leaves before school. darren did fuck all but what else is new

#he had a moment but he's normal now. #i forget who or how he had a fear realized but i think it was either at the broke's house or at a community lot #sims 2 gameplay #dirk dreamer #darren dreamer #i suck at tagging but i want to for organization reasons since i'm actually sharing the gameplay consistently for once oough

[mariatesstruther]

okay but what if maria used to have a strained relationship with her dad and she tells ellie about it after ellie and joel stop talking. and ellie is like????? i thought u adored your dad wtf how did u forgive him?? what happened??

and maria tells her what helped, that moving out and becoming her own person with her own space really helped open her up. and THATS how they get the idea to convert the garage into ellie’s space

#maria suggests not living on top of eachother will ease the strain and pressure of them not talking #and it does #and it helps #it forces them to communicate bc they have to split up house rations like toiletries and grocries and stuff #and because theyre not living together together it makes them miss eachother more organically #they start checking in a little as father and daughter again #like hey how was your day how was school did you sleep well last night #joel used to be able to hear when she tossed and turned but now that shes moved how he has to ask #stuff like that slowly and surely brings them back together #just ellie being able to learn from maria #THATS HER MF MOTHER #tlou #maria miller #maria and ellie #ellie williams #joel and ellie #joel miller #maria and joel best friend agenda #hes sad about her moving out but also gets it and is one hundred perfext on board with her doing whatever she needs to feel good #the millers #the tispy bison #ideas #okay i rlly will draft this onw bc i LOVE a cyclical theme

Any of you looking for G/t media to consume? Well here’s a handy list of some potential stuff to look into!

Do you know of more content that’s not on this list? Let us know and we’ll add it on for others to find too!

#gianttiny #sfwgt #giant/tiny #giant tiny #gt community #look #in search of gt #or ISOG/t as I like to call it #has been a thing I've been working on for ages #not in this format #it started out on deviantart #but thanks to Nick's organizing skills it's now this! #an open library! #or a catalogue more like

[st5lker]

this is maybe because sure youre right it doesnt exist as that but it used to at one point and has since been slaughtered and had its corpsed skinned and worn around as a suit

#like not to say theres an 'lgbt organization' but the original concept of the lgbt community used to be able to. yknow enact tangible change #at least more tangible change than adding a character to some hbo show or getting some corporation to change the word they use #and the state of lgbt 'shared liberation' isnt looking great right now ill tell you that!

Safety tools for games are very well and good and if you and your group need them you should absolutely use them, but sometimes the way people talk about them feels like they are using those tools as a straight-up substitute for, like, working to develop interpersonal skills and the capacity for talking openly with friends.

#that post about 'you call yourself a community organizer but you haven't talked to your roommates in three months' #except it's about ttrpgs #like this is from a person with ADHD who did (and still sometimes do) have pretty severe RSD #and whose sister used to accuse people of cheating and/or straight up flip boards any time she wasn't winning a game #like especially if you find yourself needing to USE the safety tools often... #it might just be a point at which you have to say 'this is not the game environment for me' #and that does NOT need to reflect morally on you or those friends. some people's game styles just are not compatible. #not rebloggable cuz i know people are going to severely misinterpret me particularly if you're removing the context of #'i am also neurodivergent bro.' #not to say that I can comprehend every possible neurodivergent experience #but if anyone comes on here like 'you're only saying that cuz you're neurotypical' i will start biting. #also remembered that quote is from a chris fleming video so late and didn't wanna delete all of my tags to edit and then forgot to note it #but now i have. anyway. unimportant.

[hideyseek]

well, instead of doing my job i have made a roadmap of my fic for the next couple months of this year

i am slightly embarassed to be like this but actually it's proving to be immediately super helpful?? like its way easier to see when i can pick up projects that have been om the back burner, it means im forced to assign priorities to different projects, AND it means that eventually i can review this and go "huh okay wow this did not happen in the timeframe i expected, what happened?"

not sure this will stick or whether i will remember to revisit this like. ever. but OMG SUDDENLY ITS SO EASY TO HOLD ALL MY PROJECTS IN MY HEAD AT ONE TIME (mainly bc i can consign like 5 of them to the "wait what about this guy?" corner haha

#SUDDENLY I UNDERSTAND SO MUCH ABOUT WHY WE DO PRODUCT PLANNING THE WAY WE DO ON MY TEAM #THIS IS SO HELPFUL! WOW. #like it IS a really clear and easy way to communicate things to stakeholders! #it IS a much more organized way of thinking about how to manage several projects at once! #I AM GOING TO GO DO WORK TASKS NOW. IM RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD REMAIN EMPLOYED FOR SURE #hidey speaks #hidey talks fic

i’m currently trying to write a scene of a character coming out as trans to his older brother and i’m legit sobbing so hard i can’t even write it

(cw this if for the harry potter fandom I’M SORRY i just love these characters so much but please understand that i hate jkr with my entire being)

Ron carefully took the gift with one hand— the other staying wrapped around his big brother’s arm. He set it on his lap then unwrapped the cloth. He stared down at the hair clip, tears quickly filling his eyes again. “Thank you.” His voice shook and he knew it didn’t sound genuine.

“You don’t like it?”

Ron’s free hand smacked up to his eyes to cover them. “It’s not that,” he sobbed. He tried to take calming breaths, but it was becoming harder to breathe— harder to stay quiet. “Everything feels wrong. All the time.”

it’s okay ron, i am sobbing right along with you

#literally a line i said to my mother #but then she called me stupid for feeing that way and i still haven’t come out to her #and it’s been eight years lmao #he’s talking to bill and bill isn’t going to call him stupid #trans ron weasley #i just discovered him today but he’s so so personal to me now #lowkey feel like i’m betraying my community by writing for hp but also i can do what i want yk #i haven’t supported that woman monetarily in years #how the hell do i organize tag this not as a character’s name lol #wizarding world #that ig #ron weasley #tw jkr #fuck jkr #ah the curse of loving something what was created by a horrible person #userkarson #karson writes things sometimes #wtdmtn update
