Remember that the calls for the national guard to intervene are calls to use state violence against Palestinian, Jewish, Arab, Muslim and other pro-Palestine students. They’re calling for deadly violence against Jews in the name of “anti-antisemitism.”

my silence has been because i have acted in person and thus utilize social sites with in person connections (and tumblr barely functions for me anymore).

but reminder that we are still ALL EYES ON PALESTINE.

if you can't go to an action, donate. if you can't donate, go to an action. if you can't do either, say something. raise awareness. your silence is violence & your inaction is violence & even if it's just two words on tumblr, two words wherever the hell you are, your daily click ETC. that is something. that is breaking your silence.

if you are going out, remember your rights. if you are in the US write the national lawyers guild number for your region on your arm, mask, don't go alone, bring mobile chargers bring medication bring a jacket bring water.

if you are donating, find the solidarity funds in your area for the actions right now. go fund mes, ven mos, e-sims, organizations, whatever you can when you can.

repost accounts & uplift.

the police, the universities, this country, the global powers of our world do NOT keep us safe. you and your community keep each other safe.

Palestine WILL be free. if you don't stand for Palestinian liberation, you do not stand for queer liberation, you do not stand for decolonization & an end to oppression.

this is about Palestine and Gaza and the martyrs and revolutionaries there. remember that & say it & sit with your discomfort & know that the people who will uplift you do not wear police vests, do not speak at the head of a university, do not sit in the white house.

this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it

saw a poll about dry/humid heat and like OBVIOUSLY everyone preferred dry heat but. would love to know what everyone considers to be “too hot”

me personally it’s a hard cutoff at 75°F. don’t need anything more than that thank you 🫶🫶🫶

#ides.rb #90-100 is too hot but i have no issues with mid 90s #would vastly dislike being in 100 degree heat but i can take it #i have worse cold tolerance than heat tolerance. i got my first sunburn literally like a week or two ago and i'm an 18 ya southerner lol #my body likes warmth and does not like anything that is under 55 degrees

With that story of the person buying a pregnancy test being sent formula samples in the mail getting traction recently, it needs to be pointed out that this is not new.

With my most recent pregnancy in 2020, I started receiving formula samples in the mail from Similac and Enfamil in my first trimester. My email was quickly passed between pregnancy and baby specific companies and my inbox became flooded with emails advertising countless products and services.

I was harassed by 2 cord blood storage companies after briefly browsing one of their websites. After my baby was diagnosed as terminal, I had a phone conversation with a rep who tried to convince me multiple times to store her cord blood for my future babies.

After Sam was born/died, within a week of my delivery I received a congratulations letter and offer from Gerber Life Insurance in the mail, also without my consent. I continued receiving formula coupons despite reporting her death to the companies multiple times, and even now I receive toddler formula coupons from time to time.

Amazon has tracked my purchases to the point that they know I (should) have a 19 month old and will advertise me toddler and baby things for girls, despite never having linked an AGAB to my Amazon account.

This level of capitalistic surveillance of pregnancy in the US specifically is not new and with the repeal of Roe v. Wade it should terrify you.

important poll:

#ides.rb #controversial take but i do still consider myself a listener #however i was very staunchly Listener Coded for several years and only recently realized its because i never got a ton of opportunities #to talk. now i yap a LOT because i have the chance to however #the three people im closest to are still like the yap-masters so it's a lot more evenly distributed #but i like listening to them :) listening to people talk sparks joy

Hold the fuck on no way WW3 jokes are trending on Twitter when this is an extremely serious situation that’s threatening to destabilize an entire region. No way everyone’s gleefully looking at this as if it’s the grand show finale they’ve been waiting all along. There is no fucking way

i think its funny how facial scars are seen as like a major character plot point where they reveal that someone tried to kill their dad or something when i know a ton of ppl (including myself) who have facial scars bc they rlly arent uncommon and all of them are like. from tripping and falling as a toddler

#ides.rb #not really a scar but i did wake up one day a while ago with seven scratches on my face and several on my chest #we never found out what caused them or why that would happen and it's never happened again #but they lasted several days #anyway my other scar is that i fell on the pavement while playing zombie tag in 3rd grade while it was raining #so i have a bit of a bump/scar on my chin

got any tips for a trans guy about to go on T?

Love your content, man, keep it up!

be mentally prepared to throw out all your old skincare. you Can Not be dead set on being a twink. if you sing, keep singing while your voice is changing no matter how much it cracks. bottom growth is a blessing, never disrespect it. start using use minoxidil now to prevent male pattern baldness if it's something you're worried about. once/if you start being socially labeled as male by strangers, always call out misogyny especially by men. always check in on and support your transfem sisters, now more than ever. be mindful of your biases. keep up with your blood work.
