Im Not Going To Be On Tumblr Tomorrow (still Might Check Dms), For My Own Safety And Wellbeing. But Before

anyway attack on titan is nazi propaganda and i dont trust ppl who like it, and as a Jew™ and general decent person i have the fucking right to say i hate snk and fans of it on my own blog

Concept: combine the “you don’t know you live on a death world until you leave it” trope with the whole Cthulhu-in-space genre of weird fiction, except in reverse: humanity’s Special Thing™ is that humans (and, by extension, all terrestrial life-forms) are weirdly resistant to reality-bending bullshit, which is what lets us survive and build a relatively functional civilisation in spite of hailing from a world that plays host to multiple Other Gods – which is, of course, otherwise unheard of; having even one of those squamous bastards in the neighbourhood is generally enough to ruin a whole star system’s day.

Non-human vessels can’t approach within a dozen light years of Sol without their crews being driven mad by the corrosive psychic resonance emanating from Earth’s deepest oceans, and we’re wandering around living our lives and not noticing. Aliens can never travel on human ships because our FTL drives kind of maybe tunnel through Hell, a process that horribly warps non-terrestrial life, and we just think it looks pretty when the n-dimensional hellfire coruscates across the viewports.

This sort of thing kept humanity uncontacted for a long time, until the aliens’ observers eventually figured out that we weren’t a bunch of weirdly normal-looking elder thralls, we just straight up weren’t aware there was a problem. It’s only then that they arranged first contact – remotely, of course – to basically ask “dude, what the fuck?”

(Humans are reasonably well-integrated into the galactic community these days, though most worlds enforce strict screening and quarantine procedures before allowing a Terran traveller planetside; it’s just like a human to have a class 7 epistemivore hitchhiking in their brain, and when informed, go “you know, I have been getting these headaches lately”.)

Save a Gazan journalist's life.

I won't keep you long. Here are the facts:

Siraj Abudayeh @siraj2024 is a Gazan journalist and a father of three.

He and his family have been displaced 7 times.

They have survived multiple recent massacres in Khan Yunis.

They live in a tent that feels like a "convection oven".

He can hear tank fire across the street.

His parents and siblings escaped Deir al-Balah and are now homeless; he has to care for them too.

He needs to raise $5,000 CAD / $3653 USD by the end of the day.

He's probably gotten a hundred thousand notes on his posts at this point.

This has been meaningless. His campaign moves at a glacial pace.

The Palestinian genocide is the fault of the US, UK, Israel, and the imperial core in general.

When we in the imperial core do not donate to people like him, we perpetuate the genocide.

ngl my big advice for not dealing w/ transphobes is like. one, download the shinigami eyes extension. if u see a username marked red, Do Not Share The Post

two, check out the blogs of ppl u wanna reblog from. like i get that it’s hard to check EVERYONE’S blog but if u even have a slight suspicion the person who wrote a post is a transphobe (this requires like. paying attention and staying alert, looking out for red flags and stuff, knowing what to look for) then check their blog. look at their archive, look at their tags. search the word “trans” on their blog, see what comes up, etc. sometimes it’s even like right in the bio if they really don’t give a shit

just like. don’t give these people a platform. even if the post seems unrelated. sometimes… it’s not as unrelated as you might think

URGENT!! Let’s help Mahmoud Al-Sharif’s family get out of Gaza!

Mahmoud’s family’s GoFundMe is only at $4,499 USD of their $60,000 USD goal. PLEASE consider donating

Mahmoud (@mahmoud-sharif) reached out to me and shared his story. He and his family are in desperate need of help reaching their fundraising goal so they can get to Egypt and escape the genocide in Gaza.

He needs medical treatment for his eye and his wife is pregnant with their fourth child and needs a safe place to give birth. His and his family’s work, dreams, and safety have been completely uprooted by Israel’s bombardment of their home and country.

Mahmoud’s words:

‎‏I am Mahmoud Al-Sharif, married and have 3 children, and my wife is about to give birth now with my fourth child.

‎‏We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. I lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand , and my other eye was damaged. These were the previous wars until this 2023 war came and destroyed everything from my home and my workplace.

Further details about him and his family/situation can be found on the GoFundMe link below.

Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.
