10 children a day lose their limbs in Gaza. All hospitals in Gaza are basically barely functioning and the amputations are done in unsanitary conditions and without anesthesia
“Your pet would eat you if you died near it” yeah well so would a lot of people. My pet isn’t special. I give them food meal & never let them outside. Are they gonna open wet food themselves when I’m gone? Are you stupid? If I have to be the wet food to buy a little guy some time so be it. Fuck off
because of hardware limitations of the 3DS, I had to splice the movie up into 10 minute chunks and download them all separately.
this is in fact the best way to watch the movie, as it means I now not only have my own little chapter select screen, but I can also pace myself while watching in case I run into any kind of beasts (rats, ghouls) while in this sewer
AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I’M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.
WE’RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN’T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON’T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.
I’M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I’M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

Reblog if you value the internet in any way at all whatsoever.
“Congress is trying to push through a swarm of harmful internet bills that would severely impact human rights, expand surveillance, and enable censorship on the internet. We’re demanding that Congress focus on passing badly needed comprehensive privacy legislation to actually protect us from the harms of big tech companies and data brokers, instead of pushing through misguided legislation like KOSA and EARN IT.”
This bill would also effect revolutionary spaces and organising. This level of censorship would be catastrophic to the revolutionary movement— to the Free Palestine movement, to anti-Capitalist organising, to all people seeking liberation. Facism is standing right in front of us and we must take it down.
Is there something you planned to do before you got trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Are you yelling at yourself to get up and do the thing, but you can’t, because you’re trapped in the endless tumblr scroll?
Consider this your save point.
Put tumblr down, stand up, stretch, and go do the thing you planned to do. Future you will be incredibly grateful.

I need y’all to know that you’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad that I was able to help you break out of a procrastination loop you did not want to be stuck in.
Helpful post I’ve added to my queue in case it helps someone else at the random point when it’s posted.
Everything that isn’t food is a cat from the perspective of a cat. Cats can look upon the true form of eldritch monstrosities and keep their sanity. They’d just see another cat. A fucking weird-looking cat, but a cat nonetheless.
BREAKING| Reuters reports that the US proposed a draft resolution to the UN Security Council backing a “temporary ceasefire” in Gaza and opposing an Israeli attack on Rafah. The resolution came to confront an Algerian draft resolution, which calls for a permanent ceasefire. Yesterday, the US Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, stated that her country does not support action on the Algerian draft resolution and hinted that it would veto it.

Something that has been said already but can’t be stressed enough is just how much harshly trans women and trans feminine people are punished by stuff that cishet and non-transfem LGBT+ get away with in this website every single day. “Oh but she posted nudes” yeah, and she respected every single one of Tumblr’s guidelines on posting nudity:
Meanwhile, there’s thousands of entirely blank blogs that post nothing but videos and gifs of people sucking and fucking and nothing is ever done about them. I got followed by one a few minutes ago and I’m obviously not gonna show it here but the very first post in it was a GIF of two dudes spitroasting a girl:
“Oh but it wasn’t just that, she also had a kink blog 🤢🤢🤢” yeah? So do I. I made it in like, 2018, it has over 3k followers and my icon hasn’t even gotten blurred over there. How is this allowed but trans women get their accounts nuked into oblivion if they do as much as post a bare butt?
hey all, my name is casper and i’m a black 21yo bigender person. every day i take the bus to and from work, and sometimes i fall asleep on the commute back– i have a very strenuous job and a long ride home. i’ve never had any problems with this until last night when i woke up to find that my belongings had been rummaged through. many things were missing from my bag, including my wallet and my $300 hearing aid. i rely on my hearing aid every day as i’m completely deaf in my left ear. today has been extremely stressful trying to figure out how i’m going to get a replacement hearing aid and state ID, i’ve had to cancel all my cards, and i just don’t know what else to do. i don’t like doing this but i have nowhere else to go. if anyone could spare a few bucks to help me get back on my feet, it would be mean everything to me.
tl;dr: help a black kid replace their stolen hearing aid.
Not to sound like I was raised by protestants, but I think those kids who argue that it’s animal abuse to put working dog breeds to work doing the tasks they were bred and born for have simply genuinely never encountered the concept that they, too, could be genuinely happier if they could do work they found wortwhile and enjoyable. Like engaging in useful and constructive activities might genuinely make life better than a life of doing absolutely nothing because nobody’s making you do anything.
please do not ever forget that the “americas” are stolen land. that we survive despite genocide. that we still exist despite continuing colonialism. solidarity with indigenous people around the world.
in tandem, don’t forget that there’s still unceded land, from the Mi'kmaq in so-called Canada to the Mapuche in so-called Chile, the struggle continues here and worldwide
indeed–the Black Hills, the place where Mount ‘Rushmore’ exists is unceded land–the Black Hills have never been for sale and yet settlers continue to move closer and closer to the heart of our people
My hobby: looking at people’s OCs and trying to imagine what conceivable mishap could plausibly have resulted in a scar like that.
any memorable examples?
I don’t want to put any particular artist in a position to be made fun of, but I will observe that, judging by the conditions of their faces, a lot of people’s OCs have an implied background in German-school fencing.
elaborate
Duelling scars are part of Western popular media’s visual lexicon as a shorthand for “this character is badass and probably somewhat villainous”, and a lot of modern artists give their characters duelling scars without knowing what kind of scar it is or where it typically comes from – they just know it’s the kind of scar that edgy badasses tend to have, without knowing why.
In some contexts, this is unremarkable; it doesn’t take a lot of mental gymnastics to explain how a character in a generically medieval European fantasy setting might have gotten jabbed in the face with a smallsword, for example. Conversely, if your character is from, say, present-day Baltimore, the range of possible explanations is much narrower! Being a hobby practitioner of German-school fencing is one of the less implausible ones.
(Well, that, or some other historical martial arts re-creation thing that involves maniacs whacking at each other with live steel and no facial protection, but German-school fencing is by far the most popular.)
Ants are a form of thing, known for travelling in cliques. They are small in size, unknown in color, and bashful in temperament. Every ant has two appendages they use to hurt other beings, and four appendages for other activities. Scientists have discovered many types of ants; gay, Protestant, electric, and chill. Their wealth is considered low.
Here’s one trying to mate with a spotted sally from a survey I did in college 💛🖤🤎
Once they’re in amplexus (the gripping pose) they’re super tough to remove! I just let him do his thang. They only do external fertilization (same with the sallies) so nothing too “🤨” is going on here
That salamander is very unenthused about the whole thing
‘Revenge is bad’ to YOU. i love when a character destroys everyone who wronged them. i love when they get to bite and maim and tear and rip and scratch and kill. Sorry ur catholic about it but i’m different
we should hype up bottom surgery more i think. both twitter transphobes and chronically online trans people really like to be disgusted at phalloplasty, vaginoplasty, ext. and i really think we should treat them as cool and sexy and neutral like top surgery scars or whatever
As of tomorrow I will be 49 weeks post bottom surgery. And lemme tell you…it’s pretty great.
There was a level of constant dysphoria from having a dick that I didn’t even know I had until it was gone.
Vaginoplasty is pretty amazing. I’m very, VERY happy about having gotten it.
Some things to keep in mind:
The first year can be rough at times, because it takes approximately 48-52 weeks to fully heal, but the further you get into that year, the easier it gets.
Healing time also depends on if you get the surgery with or without cavity. Be realistic going in and make sure to read all the literature your clinic sends you.
I say this because a lot of the negative shit around bottom surgery hinges on people NOT knowing about the healing time and using the shock value of not-yet-healed surgical wounds. Bottom surgery is FUCKING AMAZING, but yeah, it can be gross and painful at first.
I had my surgery done at GRS Montreal. The staff there are AMAZING. They were kind, patient, and helpful.
Here’s some bottom surgery facts:
Yeah, it’ll be gross at first. The first 90 days is when all the surface-level healing happens. As with any major surgery, healing is gross. It gets a lot less gross once the surgical wounds heal, the swelling goes down, and the packed gauze in your clitoris comes out (it’s there to maintain the shape while healing).
There is scarring, but it fades. Rub silicon gel into it 3-4 times a day for several months once the wounds close. After a year the scarring is minimal, and it will keep fading. I don’t even notice it anymore.
Everything WORKS. Stuff feels good. Orgasms are AMAZING.
It has absolutely made me feel more confident as a woman. It is INCREDIBLY gender affirming.
Dilation is a pain in the ass for the first 4-5 months. Not because it hurts, but because you have to do it so often. After that it becomes more like “here is an hour a day that I set aside for me time”. At the end of the first year you will only have to do it once or twice a week, at which point it definitely becomes more like just setting aside a bit of time to get in touch with your womanhood, just to relax.
Dilation doesn’t hurt (though it can be uncomfortable in the first month or so while the swelling comes down). Your new vagina is a part of your body and your body takes care of it. It is honestly pretty neat!
Bottom surgery is legitimately AMAZING. It has been practiced for almost 100 years. It is established medical practice. Do not let transphobes dissuade you from it!
I hope your god has asked for your mercy. I hope youve refused to forgive him.
i love this more and more every time i see it.
I have so much love for this person. The amount of empathy it takes to have these considerations about a person you will never meet, the eloquence and conviction with which they speak, the contempt for landlords. Sometimes I see something someone writes or creates and I wish with everything in me that I could meet and talk to that person for hours about what caused them to be this kind of light in the universe. This is one of those times.
I really, really hope that these increasingly public calls for justice in Nex Benedict’s assault and death lead to more action… this tragedy has finally recieved coverage in publications like USA Today, CNN, NBC, and even The New York Times
Were there any breeding attempts that produced breeds the breeder just gave up on? Like they looked at the offspring and went "well, those suck and this idea was stupid"
if ur transfem u have to remember that I love you. Please don’t forget. Especially you, the freak. You who has been told you are dangerous and vile and monstrous. you who has been told you “divide” our community. you who cannot find solidarity in such a hostile space. You who is told she’s “lashing out” when she is defending herself. I love you. Please don’t forget.
I make fun of coffee drinkers for being physically addicted to and dependent on badbreath bitterdrink but when i dont have my morning tea i feel like a mentally ill caveman about to do something bad.
^ the gurgling farter
you’re all gonna love me for slamming cans of mango monster in the morning
nothing sexier than that picture with the italian players on top of eachother after the win and the english ones going through the 5 stages of grief in the back
