Honestly if there’s ONE thing I wish I could get all queer people to understand is that if you’re in a situation where you know everyone would treat you differently, especially to the point of it putting your life in danger, if they found out you’re queer, you aren’t experiencing privilege, you’re in a hostage situation.
Like sorry experiencing “passing privilege” is actually just being trapped in a room with a bloodthirsty t-rex and having people tell you that you should be thankful because thier vision is based on movement and you can just stand still. It’s not a privilege to be erased, to have to lie to everyone around you to stay safe-ish, to have to closet yourself because you know even a single step out of line could be the end of your entire world.
None of us should have to be thankful to stand in front of a loaded gun while the person holding it goes “haha, don’t worry, I only use this on faggots, and you’re not a fag….right?” Like this is not a net good and it has almost nothing in common with actually being part of a privileged group.
Anyway, Happy Pride, let’s leave this shit behind.
This elderly woman was one of the leaders of demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when she was a student at Columbia University. Today, 56 years later, she returns to the same place and says, “Palestine must be free.”
Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.
If you’re having trouble keeping up with what’s going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:
While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as “pro terrorism” (which they’re not, they’re literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.
The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire worldthat is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.
So even if you think it isn’t enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It’s $1.35 they wouldn’t have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸
Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
I’m very tired of this “queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they’d kill you there!” I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, “but what name do you want to go by?” A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don’t want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.
Look, I firmly believe that anyone who still uses variations of “but Hamas” as a response to the daily horrifying documentation of this genocide is not saying it with conviction but rather as cover.
Because if it’s about Hamas, then why is Israel preventing cancer patients from leaving Gaza for treatment?
If it’s about Hamas, why is Israel preventing baby formula from entering the strip?
If it’s about Hamas, then why are children getting sniped in the head?
I can go on but that won’t be necessary because it’s abundantly clear that it’s not about Hamas, never been.
It’s imperative to understand that it’s not only us who know the answers to the above questions, but Zionists know them too, and they know we know that.
At this stage, and on day 256 of this acceleration of genocide, this so-called argument can only be viewed as a sick deflection to allow more war crimes to be committed against Palestinians, and absolutely nothing else.
No harm to any religion. It’s just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, it’s funny!
I’m going to cry 😂😂
Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden. But they didn’t want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.
For 2 days in a row I have seen this little guy removing leaves from my plant and eating them until he passes out. He’s missing an ear, so he may be self-medicating his PTSD, but still, I think it’s time for an intervention.
I’ll let him sleep this time, but when he wakes up, we’ll have a serious talk.
people who are afraid of poison swamps in souls games have never had a strong pollen allergy, “OH NO the toxic air is making my hp drop continuously, leaving me badly prepared for enemy encounters unless I continuously use medicines” you are describing a trip to the grocery store in June
Oh look, it’s campus-police officer Lt. John Pike who pepper-sprayed peaceful protesters at University of California Davis.

UCD reportedly payed $175,000 for this image to not appear when you search it on google:
Darn shame if this circulated…
So you mean to tell me that just by reblogging this I’m ruining an organizations plan, wasting them money, and uncovering some shitbag humans awful behaviour?

DEFINITELY don’t Lt. John Pike by the nickname “Sargeant Pepper”; I know he HATES that.
Well, well, well. You know what you have to do, right? @agentldiddy
Oh shit, I dropped my x-mutuals on this post about Sergeant Pepper. Oops :)
Would be just awful if my friends @lunararoace and @inoregano saw this.
Goodness me, imagine if @duothelingo or @amtrak_official @firefox_official were to see this!

@non-tyrannical-usa, I think your list might be required once again!
@the-gimmick-simp your list might be helpful!
Oops what a shame i accidentally hit the reblog button
People: Yeah being outed can be really dangerous and no one should ever be outed against their will
Also people: If youre a trans dude who passes you should always out yourself so that other people know you arent a big scary man but also out yourself so if you dont pass we know you are a scary man
Think, Narinder, think! By killing me and making my followers watch, you’ve alienated every single person who would’ve worshipped you. You’ll become a god to nothing. Nothing, Nari! I’ve dedicated my life to serving you and you’ve betrayed me!
Reminder that you’re actually interesting. Your hobbies are interesting, your interests are interesting, you are important and loveable and people appreciate you. You’re just a loveable, interesting person.
I understand the appeal of wanting every adult hero to instinctively adopt teenage Peter Parker, but can it really beat the hilarity of acknowledging that at 15 Peter was 5'10", unusually buff, went by a moniker with Man in it, wore a creepy full face mask, and had a tightly guarded secret identity and probably a Queens accent thick enough to have come out of a jello mold, and adult heroes reasonably responded to him by going, “Wow, this grown man is an immature asshole for no reason.”
Way funnier to me than adult heroes finding out Peter is a teenager and becoming Concerned is the idea of adult heroes Retroactively finding out Peter Was a teenager because he admits to being like. 22 and they’re like “Hang on you’ve been doing this for like. Seven years.” and he’s like “Haha crazy right? Anyway it’s too late for you to yell at me about that because the statue of limitations on that lecture ran out when I turned 18”
YEAH this trope is instantly more tolerable if it’s fully adult Peter being like, *listen up whippersnappers because I’ve been around the block voice* “I’m thirty, and—” and Tony Stark, who vaguely assumed Spider-Man is maybe two years older than him because he just has that energy and hasn’t reassessed this for four presidential terms, is like, *drunkenly doing math* “You’re how many”
Okay but…them trying to talk about Old People Stuff with him, not realizing that he wasn’t alive to remember xyz thing happening, never used xyz technology bc he didn’t exist yet, not expecting him to agree with the fact that some ppl were saying songs they grew up to were oldies, etc
The thing about Peter Parker is that he was raised by senior citizens the way other heroes are raised by wolves. He has the body of an Olympic gymnast and the soul of a malcontented geriatric. This likely contributed to the perpetuation of the accidental ruse.
It’s when he channels Aunt May so hard he makes it sound like he was personally and immediately affected by McCarthyism that the time traveler fringe theory starts really picking up bets.
Pal, I JUST SAID he was raised by AUNT MAY.
Also not to get real on a ha ha comic post but the elderly are not your enemy. There are old progressives.
Peter has a lot of feelings about the woman that discovered DNA and he strikes me as the kind of person that thinks that distancing yourself from notable figures of history by using their last names is stupid, so he’s going to say something like, “Rosalind worked so fucking hard to have that work snatched from her,” immediately followed by, “I woulda thumped him good,” and inspiring Tony and Banner to frantically look through the 1930s and 40s yearbooks at King’s College and theorize which one was Spider-Man. Captain America tries reminiscing about the good ole days with him. Peter, for his part, has been absently agreeing and making vague “I’m listening” noises about the Rolling Stones and Elton John for the majority of his life, so adding baseball, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald to the list wasn’t that much of a stretch.
There are only like three genuinely funny additions on this, but this is one of them.
captain america pushing a get out the vote campaign: ‘spiderman did you vote’
spider’man’ at 16: uhhhh so about that
“I…can’t.” “I see. That’s why it’s so important to restore voting rights to felons.”
That’s made funnier by the fact that I feel like Steve’s natural assumption would be that Spiderman’s a non-citizen, so him jumping straight to felon is like, Peter just has such strong criminal vibes.
Richard Siken continues to kill it on twitter. He just explained why his poetry is so popular in tumblr graphics - “you can take any of my quotes and apply them to any fandom or picture and they will work because they are sad and mopey and full of longing” and then proceeded to demonstrate this. With cat pictures. With lines of his poetry slightly altered to be lol cat speak.
