not interested in getting involved in the rest of this discussion, for the most part, but to me this is a GREAT piece of advice that many people these days don't seem to be getting or understanding.

not everyone you meet or interact with is your friend, the requirements and expectations for respectful behaviour between friends is not the same as between strangers.

hi, was thinking Abt this but:

malicious and intentional "they/theming" is very much a real thing and counts as misgendering/degendering.

even if it's a trans person you don't like, that person deserves to have the correct pronouns used. it's basic human rights.

This isn't directed at any specific comment, but it is a pattern I've noticed

Sometimes, when I post the most white bread ass outfits, the kinda of things I wear in my daily life, I'll get a comment that's like "woah omg your gender is so awesome.... Woagh gender..... What gender is this bc it's awesome..." And like. Girliepop. I am literally just a woman.

I just want to remind people that it’s 2024 and we didn’t “go thru a pandemic” we are “going thru a pandemic” present tense. It is still happening. People are still get sick, still becoming disabled, and still dying. Covid hasn’t gone away and I beg people to not normalize getting sick with it.

i don't know why people think academic humanities are somehow exempted from the kinds of industry & military funding interests that guide research output in stem fields. ok i do know why but you are just wrong if you think that. do you know how many postdoc and tt apps i've sifted thru in the last month alone that are tied to collections funded off oil money, chemical company endowment funds, etc. do you know what happens if you try to write even historical analysis of these companies that is not flattering to them lol. archives can and do refuse access if someone doesn't like what you argue, funding is handed down from pritzkers and duponts and so forth. enviro humanities people all know what line to toe, it is a responsibility of faculty to inform their grad advisees of how far they can go without attracting censorious attention. do you know how many positions have posted this year at israeli universities. this is before you even get into the frankly insane number of archival and curatorial positions that essentially boil down to writing puff pieces about the usa's 'founding fathers' from the collections at their stupid vanity libraries please be so serious

Puritanism is getting worse around the globe and conservatives and fascists will absolutely be first going harder against porn, then use that against queer people. You HAVE to realise this and oppose anti porn measures and laws, be in solidarity with sex workers, and listen to them when they call this shit out. It's going to be vitally important.

your donations have helped Mohammed, Samar, and their three children get a solar panel to keep warm this coming winter!

the family still need:

warm clothes for Samar

food!!

Mohammed is trying to feed an extended family of 15, including elders, but they are frequently reduced to eating spoiled or rotten food, which is not good for anybody's health. yes, there are small, donation-run initiatives that give out food for free, but they cannot be everywhere or reach everyone.

please help me help my friends eat!

Help a struggling trans couple make rent

Hey everyone there is no plainer way to put it, we need to make $1100 to make rent. I've been battling being sick for a week which lost me a ton of time at work and on top of everything hours are starting to dwindle as it is. I worked overtime for a month straight to try and get ahead but it barely kept us afloat for October. I hate to beg with everything going on but we simply cannot make rent+bills+owed back taxes without help. My minimum goal is $1100 to pay just the rent but ideally I hope to make $2500 to cover rent, bills and pay into those taxes. Anything helps, I take donations via kofi or Venmo and Im super grateful for any donation big or small. Please help us make it through the month

$0/$1100

Venmo is LKarnstein

sorry i woke up in my rantsona. but like seriously isn't it fucking twisted that every child in almost every country are basically legal property of their parents. like their parents have complete control over where they can go, who they can talk to, which words out of their mouth are truth or lies; they're allowed, encouraged even, to be the sole interface by which the child connects to everything else in this world. like isnt that extraordinary. like how is it a mystery to anyone that children are constantly dying under parental abuse or growing up into utterly dysfunctional traumatised adults. why are we talking about these nebulous narratives of "the unstoppable and nuanced cycle of abuse" instead of looking straight at the reality we've built specifically for this purpose

For all of you headcanoning Jimmy as middle eastern I need you to STOP and think why you are headcanoning the anger issues, misogynistic SAer as a middle eastern man especially in this political climate.
