every now and then the internet decides it should revamp the ole “stop texting first and see how many friends you lose” when in reality you could literally just communicate that u feel bad that ur the only one texting first

"I know people in Palestine are being tortured, bombed and slaughtered, I just don't want to see it" is an unforgivable statement, and yet too many people, Americans in particular, are comfortable with saying it. Especially given that, apart from Israel, this is America's genocide. 70%.

If you aren't protesting this, if you aren't even showing a sliver of care, then no. You don't get to pretend you're a good person.

Easy Action Item! Help Wildland Firefighters from getting a 50% pay cut!

Hey everyone, I have a quick and easy action item that could make a HUGE difference going forward.

Wildland Firefighters are currently facing a MASSIVE pay cut, and by massive I mean up to 50%. Yes. Fifty. Percent.

WF pay has been an issue basically forever, but for awhile the government has been kicking the can down the road with various "retention bonuses," but those are set to expire soon and if a permanent solution isn't passed, firefighters are screwed, and so is every single person and business that exists in the wildland urban interface. We need our firefighters more than ever, and right now they need US to help get this passed.

You can read more about the issue, its history, and the proposed solutions here, on the Grassroots Wildland Firefighters page. They have been a major driving force to get this issue taken care of once and for all.

The GWF page has also put together a handy dandy tool to automatically send a letter to your senators asking them to pass the legislation necessary to permanently fix this issue. Please, please take a couple minutes to fill it out and send this letter in, and share this post so other people can do it too.

Contact your senators now.

the FBI’s Most Wanted Fugitive list is so stupid. there will be, like, a guy who kidnapped and ate a toddler listed next to someone who robbed a bank for $300k. I’m sorry. I think one of these individuals poses a vastly greater risk to society than the other. in fact I’m rooting for one of them.

I'm choosing to trust and learn from the queer people older than me who remember very hard times.

I'm friends with a man who came out during the AIDS crisis. When he tells me we'll make it through, I know he's not naively minimizing the danger. He told me he remembers the vicious demonization of gay people in that era, and I know he understands that trans people are especially vulnerable in this era. He went out of his way to speak to me and offer comfort and support.

(This is a man from my choir, a queer choir that started out as a gay men's choir, of which he was a founding member. He's respected in that community. When he speaks up for inclusivity and gets my pronouns right, it sets a social standard about who is welcome.)

He told everyone not to be afraid, not because there's nothing to fear but because we're strong and we're going to stick together. He told us to be kind.

remembering the time I called american psycho (a satirical film about toxic masculinity) a dark comedy and the overwhelming response was 'oh so u think men killing sex workers is funny? u think THAT'S funny?' like no I find a patrick batemen listening to 'i'm walking on sunshine', killing jared leto while wearing a clear raincoat and giving a dissertation on huey lewis n the news, using 'I need to return some video tapes' to get out of awkward situations, throwing a hissy fit about business cards, dropping a chainsaw down a flight of stairs, thinking an atm is telling him to feed it cats, and crying hysterically under a desk is funny. but thank u for ur wonderful insight

If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.

I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.

If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!

A video of Palestinian man burning to death while still connected to an IV went viral after Israel firebombed a hospital and set tents on fire. I won't post the video or the pictures but I'd like to commemorated the victim.

This is Shaaban Al-Dalu. He had two sisters and a little brother. He was studying software engineering in the tent he died in. Shaaban was his family's sole provider. His mother died with him. May they rest in peace

Edited to add family pic

We apologize to the whole world for the scenes of torn limbs and flesh scattered in the air, for the sight of decapitated heads and burning tents.

We apologize to the world for disturbing your daily lives.

Forgive us if you saw a massacre and it weighed heavily on you, stopping you from finishing your cup of coffee.

Forgive us if, while scrolling through reels, you saw a burned child in Gaza and it ruined your mood.

Forgive us if the screams of our women disturb you.

Forgive us, for we are being killed against our will, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Forgive us because in our time of weakness we turned to you to ask for help to save us from death.

Forgive us because we posted links to campaigns to save us everywhere.

Finally, I want to ask you a request, and you are free to respond to my appeal or leave me alone to face this genocide with my family
