Ok so I haven’t watched the new hbomberguy video nor have I been involved in much of the discourse that was discussed but I feel like there’s something that needs to be said.
James Somerton saying that AIDS is the reason there are only boring gay people?
That’s so fucked up
Not only does he mitigate the traumatic impact that the HIV/AIDS epidemic had on the queer community and the political ostracization/demonization that resulted from it
He’s also just feeding into the stereotype that queer identity revolves around sex and sex alone. That we can’t have families, can’t have happy lives, can’t exist without inherently being sexual. And that’s what the right wing feeds off of to make the propaganda that is the reason why so many of us fear losing our basic human rights
And I get it that wasn’t the point of the video
The point of the video was to prove how plagiarism can be subtle and hurtful and erase people who should be uplifted
But I also feel like this needs to be said
text: gaza has oil, congo has cobalt, west papua has gold. all these genocides are happening because the only god colonists worship is money.
hey all i hate doing this especially when ive been inactive, but november financially was a hard month for me, i missed a lot of work due to pain, sickness, and traumatic flashbacks as we as events. id like to ask for some help with catching up on bills and expenses
my main concern are my phone/wi-fi bills and my cats checkup bill; phone is about $103, wi-fi is about $80ish, and the vet bill would be about $84. im asking for a rounded total of $300, but thats not a strict minimum goal and ill take any help i can get. please rb if you cant donate. dm me for e-tramsfer info, otherwise i only have p@yp@l as i live in canada

Watching something about conspiracy theories like:
-that’s nazi propaganda
-that’s been proven to be not true
-you might be on to something, but you need to bring it back about two or three notches
saw these tags on a post about how not all autistic people hate small talk:
how did we get to this point? how is it that a very basic part of the autism diagnostic criteria has been framed as being “a bad person”? by other autistic people no less! how is it that people think it’s appropriate to say that not liking small talk is “not the autism”? fuck that.
not being able to think about anything other than a special interest does not make you a bad person. not understanding small talk does not make you a bad person. needing help to remember social conventions does not make you a bad person. I hope you find people who will happily listen to your infodumps and who understand the way you communicate. I love you
tbh this might be controversial but as someone VERY pro palestine so many fellow anti zionists are out of touch as fuck.
first: stop treating bisan like she's beyonce she just wants to be a normal person safe at home. of course give her a platform and a voice but stop acting like she's the next taylor swift that very clearly makes her uncomfortable.
second: a shit ton of yall are out of touch about the boycotts. of course, please boycott as much as you can but if youre harassing a starbucks or mcdonalds worker who doesn't even want to work there and is on the brink of homelessness, who inst privileged enough to just quit, you are not the good person you think you are. just because you are financially okay doesn't mean other people can just cut their only source of income especially with how bad the economy is. that's helping no one.
2.5: PLEASE stop telling people under the age of 18 who depend on their parents (who don't respect boycotts) that they should starve instead of eating if their parents get mcdonalds or dominos? like of course boycotting is one of if not the most important resource, but those kids arent CHOOSING to break boycotts thats not their choice some parents just don't listen. kids need to fucking eat and no sane activist or palestinean would want ANOTHER child to go without food.
instead of bullying poor people please actually do things that benefit palestine
this is the coolest thing I've seen all day :)
