Abdel Majeed needs to raise ~$160 to buy his daughter Iman new glasses. She’s been wearing the same pair for three years, since she was 11. They no longer fit her face and the prescription is out of date.

🚨Urgent Appeal from Gaza

Getting shot in the eye by a rubber bullet actually did eventually kill a photographer covering protests years back, due to complications. This shit is dangerous.

Exactly! Hearing/reading someone talk about a thing they've dedicated their life to can be so interesting!

Inversely, I fucking LOVE when I come across a piece of media that truly, deeply understands a craft. Putting all the little details in that shows you the writer really *gets* it is *chef kiss*

Oh yay!! That makes me so happy, genuinely 😊

So glad you like it! The color scheme is one of my favorites so it was a joy to make 🥰

NOPE

They've been doing "statements" in lieu of action for years now.

I don't want to hear another word other than what's required to file articles of impeachment over and over, and what's involved in blocking him with their physical bodies. They wanted the job. THIS IS THE JOB NOW.

Autistic women exist though, and their experiences are unique from neurotypical women

I don't think anyone is encouraging meltdowns here, OP is just saying that the "meltdown" most people picture is how a small child reacts to stress, and they don't recognize how that behavior and the signs of meltdown change when the person gets older and starts masking more.

In case you missed Neilly and I's livestream, we're MOVING! To Cork! We're ridiculously excited, its a new start in a place that will be hopefully more forgiving than our very rural (and apparently very transphobic) area. We are trying to raise enough money to help with moving expenses.

Two of my closest friends in the world are moving somewhere safer and less transphobic and have a place lined up, but the moving costs are higher than expected, anything you could share would be so helpful!

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

COYOTE First Aid Kit: How to Compassionately Respond to an Overdose Naloxone, rescue breathing, and 911: Learn the do's, don'ts, and best practices for reversing an overdose.

Anyone can reverse an overdose, and we should all know how. Naloxone is a social intervention; while our public health systems are woefully inadequate, and the war on drugs continues unchecked, we can empower ourselves and one another to step up.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias

Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations

She fought for the people of Gaza

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

black, white and red illustration of a lady who appears to be a vampire!! Very spooky! She has a black and red gown on and is carrying a candelabra through the darkness with red candles. Happy Halloween!!! Be safe out there and enjoy some candy!!!

🥀Happy Halloween 🥀

Yeah, that's not just one decision. That's weeks or months of committing that same "mistake" over and over. And they want us to think it's just a little oopsie

I’m not the kind of lawyer who is ever going to argue a case at SCOTUS or land the next big Warner Bros M&A deal, but I am very, very, very good at explaining how to navigate the punishing bureaucracy that tries to kill us.

Honestly some white people do this too, I had friends of my parents that weren't even blood relatives who I called "aunt/uncle" and their kids were my "cousins"
They're just making a big fuss out of nothing

Honestly sounds like a great time, and it really goes to show that women and minorities have always been a crucial part of fandom. We aren't new!

A great many of the (wonderful) stories about Ireland's (wonderful) UBI plan for artists tend to bury if not duck completely the hard cold fact that it was funded largely by Google's billion-euro settlement of tax-evasion charges.

TAX BILLIONAIRES
RUN THEM DOWN
LOOT THEM
