Texas is still the only state in the USA that has clinics with comprehensive Healthcare for intersex people btw. All yall "let's abandon Texas and Florida" bitches don't have half the backbone of queers living in those states fighting for queer rights

bat at hornets nest maybe but "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism" refers to low income communities needing to choose between survival vs being eco friendly. not you continuing to watch the harry potter movies

we should all aim to live our lives with the joie de vivre of a saturday morning cartoon villain. wake up and see that it's pouring with rain outside? what a delightfully rotten day for my evil schemes. coffee machine breaks? a truly devious invention paralleled only by my wicked intellect.

Hello, I'd like to ask that you spare Mohammed some money. He's been raising money for his family of 5 since last year, the youngest of which is only 6 years old. Israel's violation of the ceasefire, he once again needs help to be able to afford basic goods for his family.

Please help Sami Al-Khalili (@alkliliyfamliys) and his family escape the bombing and siege of Gaza. Like many Gazans, they have been displaced and are living in tents exposed to the elements. Sami's mother is facing health issues which they cannot find the medical resources to treat. They are suffering under the siege every day, any money can help them towards their goal. They have been vetted on the list by @gazavetters and are #21 Sami Alkhliliy.

“If you were in Sami's place, what would you do? • If your home was reduced to rubble, would you cry… or try to stay strong? • If you looked into your hungry children’s eyes, would you stay silent… or scream for help? I am Sami, and this is my reality—not fiction. I lost everything, and I’m still searching for just enough to keep my family alive. What can you do? • I can donate and support you • I can share your story with the world • I can pray for you from the heart”

in case people weren't aware, BDS has called for a boycott of microsoft gaming products:

Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft.

Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).

more info on the boycott and microsoft's collaboration with israel from bds' own website. microsoft is directly partnered with the israeli military, providing cloud services and ai technologies that actively contribute to the genocide of palestinians.

bethesda and blizzard are specifically named, but other companies under xbox game studios include mojang and obsidian entertainment - i'm highlighting obsidian here because (afaik) i haven't seen anyone bring them up specifically. i don't mean this in a condemnatory way, i'm an enjoyer of obsidian games myself, i just want to make sure people are aware.

For those who already own the games or the console, the organizers said, the ideal move would be to stop playing, but the primary ask from organizers is to help deprive Microsoft of revenue. Therefore, players can be compliant with the boycott by avoiding future purchases of games or consoles and by avoiding transactions inside the games.

a cultural boycott has not been called for, but there's no avoiding the fact that fandom is effectively free word-of-mouth advertising. i am not here to tell you what to do or act as your moral arbiter, all i can do is give you information and ask you to be conscientious. please refrain from making any new purchases or from encouraging other people to buy games/products that provide revenue to microsoft - consider donating to a gazan mutual aid fund, such as a campaign run by the sameer project instead

Update! Luigi's Attorney Dickey confirms that his "outburst" where he tells the cameras that this is unjust, was because he was never read his miranda rights and was under the impression at that time that he was being denied the right to a fair trial, an attorney, or any legal representation.

He is angry and terrified in that footage because they have failed to follow basic procedure to inform him that he has any rights at all. This is a major red flag of police corruption. This is UNACCEPTABLE and further means any interrogation they did of him is unlawful, and inadmissible in court.

since it’s a scary time to be trans: refuge restrooms is an app which maps gender-neutral/single-stall restrooms. it’s community-mapped, so it’s possible you might be the first person to log the restroom locations, but hopefully it’ll help some people.

please reblog this post if you’ve got trans followers. stay safe.
