Hmm... I only eat people I like. As a demonic cannibal I have STANDARDS. I know! I shall simply punt them instead*!!

*misses the kick spectacularly, starts to fall on top of them instead, my massive demon girl tits smack the terf in the face and sets them off balance as I fall. Like some kind of unimpressive and unintentional Rube Goldberg machine, the terf falls onto a basketball that gets launched into a nearby hoop, bounces against the headboard making a comical thud, ricochets back and hits me in the face. As a result I yell and flail around like an idiot, my tail whips into a nearby parking meter, the meter, now bent into the roadway by the awesome force of my demonic tail accidentally flings a nearby biker off their bike and into a stroller, the stroller launches a baby and I scramble to catch it, stepping on the terf by "accident" who now lays there bruised and tread upon like a Tom and Jerry character. As I catch the baby a speeding taxi turns the corner and slams the brakes as the biker is still in the stroller confused at what just happened. But the taxi guy stopped too fast and in doing so the plastic hot dog guy on the antenna of the taxi, you know the thing I'm talking about right? yeah, it goes flying and lands inconspicuously in the nearby hotdog stand. I reached for the hot dog in vain, the confused baby in my arms judging me, as the hot dog guy unintentionally grabs the imposter dog whilst unaware that it is, in fact, plastic. As a single tear rolls down my face I fall to my knees and shake my fist in defeat. The baby gets fed up with my demonic antics and crawls away. The hot dog guy loads the dog into a steaming bun and gives it to the poor unsuspecting customer. The customer unwraps the sinister dog as they walk by, carefully avoiding the bent parking meter, and the stopped taxi, but in their distraction neglects to realize the simulacrum of an Oscar Myer they put in their mouth. As they walk by me and spit plastic hot dog at high velocity I am forced to quickly dodge... But the baby is now crawling below at my feet making their escape, so midair I flutter my wings to alter my trajectory. Unbeknownst to me I now instead land on the terf who was behind me, who has now been flattened by my comically huge ass. I get up and run, now wild and free. I've done my job... All is well. The judgemental baby finds it's mother. The biker abandons his bike and rides off in the stroller... The hot dog vendor scrams. The disappointed customer finds a new vendor. The terf is left there, sun setting, nose bleeding... Ah yes, a beautiful sunset. "All in a days work" I say, as I take a hit of my vape and fall on my face.

The people who police your gender will police your gender even if you're cis.

Eat them.

📍Help me and my family ❤️‍🩹

I am Rabah Zayed, 45 years old, my

wife Manal Riyad, 42 years old. Our sweet and beautiful family consists of four sons (Al-Waleed and Bilal / 11 years old - Yamen / 4 years old and Tim 18 months old) and two daughters (Shahd / 16 years old and Malak / 15 years old) in addition to my elderly and sick mother who lives with us. Our life was happy and stable, and our children were distinguished and excelled in their schools. We had many dreams that we intended to achieve for our family. Together, we established our own project in the field of fashion. We worked on it day and night until we succeeded in establishing it to ensure a decent life for our family. Suddenly, all our dreams were shattered, our home and our project were completely destroyed. My beautiful city was destroyed. We fled from death many times and fled to Al-Ahli Hospital. When it was bombed over our heads on OCT/17/2023, my daughter Shahd and I were injured in the bombing. After receiving treatment, we were forced to move from one city to another, and we ended up becoming Our shelter is a tent far from our home and dreams.

My children suffer a lot with us in arranging our difficult life affairs, between the cold of winter and the heat of summer, and the daily suffering in providing daily life needs such as providing drinking water and providing food with the huge rise in prices and the continued bombing and destruction. We have tried several times to leave and travel to escape death to a safe place and a safer life, and this requires a large sum of money ($5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child) in proportion to the number of members of my family and my sick mother, each separately. What we hope for is support and assistance in obtaining a decent and stable life for me, my mother and my family and to secure the future of my children and my family.

We thank you for understanding our difficult circumstances and your desire to help and support us.

Tim, 18 months ❤️‍🩹, was displaced from his home when he was seven months old. Dadah sought to provide cheese and diapers. He suffered from many diseases due to malnutrition and the poor conditions left by the war. He is very afraid of the sounds of bombing and explosions.

My name is Yamen, I am 4 years old and the troublemaker in my family I love mama, papa and my family very much I am the spoiled one in my family. I had many toys, many dreams, and I loved chocolate But now there are no games, no chocolate, and nothing I love except the sound of bullets and fear

Something's been on my mind... As someone with low empathy, when I feel guilty it's always in relation to someone close to me who I do have some effective empathy for or for breaking one of my own "rules" (particularly the latter). But outside of that? I have a hard time understanding the extent to which others feel guilt. It seems to just tear them apart, I don't see it being all that productive or worth it, either. Is empathy that makes you feel like that really all that useful? Is it really helping you be kind? I'm not convinced...

I notice many people I care deeply about who have just astonishing and absolutely horrid amounts of guilt about everything! People I consider so close to me I see them as essentially a part of me, and sometimes the guilt they experience makes me angry because I don't understand it, but I do want them to feel better... Yet it makes me think... I wonder just how much this "pro-social emotion" that they have is actually something instilled in people to make them more controllable.

Is it really natural to have guilt like this? Sure, I may have even less than would be helpful at times to keep me out of trouble or make it easier to get along with those I love, but to begin with I'm not sure the "normal" experience or amount of guilt is truly "normal". I think it's socially constructed as a means of keeping people from taking action. Actions such as questioning authority, questioning the assumptions in their relationships, their own sexuality and gender... I don't know guys, I think our society may be one of control via copious and unseen guilt. Perhaps we should thank the puritanical churches and Catholics for that (speaking as a heretical Catholic myself), but I think it's something deeper even than the religious trauma. Perhaps it's tied to something even deeper.

I don't want the people I care about to feel guilty. I don't want to see them hurt. I want them to care about being kind intentionally, not because someone told them to feel bad if they didn't. Not because they were programmed to hurt themselves over something for an absolutely pointless reason. To be clear, I do not think guilt is pointless. Sometimes I wish I felt a little more if it would make things easier instead of meaning I had to intentionally think about if something is a good social decision or not... But the extent to which it seems prevalent surely is no coincidence.

[demon-girl-izalith]

Yeah I totally agree...

I think people forget that religious queers make up almost half the population of all queer people... The assumption in most queer leftist spaces I've been in has frequently been we're all atheists (and often also white), and it's driven many of my bipoc and religious queer friends away (often the same intersection, I might add) from these spaces. So that "call from inside the house" you mention I think is intrinsically related to a racial issue with religious and queer spaces as well, with voices not being heard and experiences not being taken seriously both inside faith communities and also inside leftist ones... Not only do white Christians like me need to be present, need to grow a skin (say fuck sometimes, it's good for us) and need to be able to fight against oppression, but spaces need to be made more available for the intersectional identities who would probably offer a lot in the way of combatting the imperialist white Christian hegemony. Cuz I'm sick and tired of white Christian BS and white atheist BS at this point...

We need the obnoxious atheists back. I know they engineered their own destruction by being annoying and pretentious, but it has become apparent how essential to the ecosystem they were. The religious fanatics have become too bold without their natural predators. Jesus wojaks would have been torn to shreds in 2011.

I'd like to add to this as someone who struggles with empathy...

Empathy can sometimes make things harder to be kind. It can encourage really in-groupy feelings. For those closest to me, people I see as part of me like my fiancee or partners, well for those few people I do get strong empathy for them, and sometimes it causes me to act so irrationally and lash out.

Other times learning to grow cognitive empathy (or sympathy) makes things easier, yes, but ultimately it's what you decide to do that matters. Choosing to be kind and compassionate is what matters. Having affective empathy isn't a sign of what makes someone "human". And neither is cognitive empathy, even if it makes it easier. Choosing to be kind because that's what I want, because I have chosen you as my friends and family, that is more genuine imo...

Here's your (not so gentle) reminder that empathy does not make you a good person, your actions do. You having the right emotions during a situation does not make you a good person. Your actions do. Someone not having empathy or lack of emotion does not make them an abusive individual.

There are many, many people who I have met who claim to be "empaths" who were and are entirely more abusive than the people without empathy who I have met.

You can learn to work with having no empathy, you can learn to work with not having the "correct" emotions. The phrase "basic human empathy" is entirely ableist as fuck and empathy is not what makes someone human.

Let me restate that last sentence really fucking clearly:

Empathy is not what makes someone human.

[demon-girl-izalith]

I'd like to mention something that's been on my mind quite a bit with my recent thoughts about aesthetic philosophy, neoplatonism, and the nature of the relationship between art and artist.

I posted a while back about theistic satanism and the text "Diabolicon" by Michael Aquino, and how as a Satanist and a Catholic I found the text actually really interesting as a spiritual art piece. One of my friends was talking about how the author was highly problematic. And you know what? Yeah, I think he was too. A militaristic psyop cult leader who may have been a child molester. Not a good look.

But the art and the artist cannot be fully reduced into one unit. I think the work still has some really fascinating critiques of the stagnation and rot that occurs within Christianity, and as a process theologian I found it rather compelling, especially given it's historical placement.

But the person who wrote it was a cultist and very well may have been a predator. At the same time the art shouldn't be devalued. But it should also be read in multiple contexts. The art is related to the artist, they exist in tension. Art is not fully transcendental, it is placed in a context historically, with human relationships and human politics, in a neo-platonic framework, yes the aesthetics form does exist regardless of the artist, but it is the thing that pulls upon them to create the instance that is the artwork. It is still invariably linked to the world and to claim otherwise I think is to claim a harmful dualism that erases nuance. It is a reductionism that would take away the relationship we have with the piece and say the relationship is something that seldom matters; I think that view stands in stark contrast to the idea that art is fundamentally communicative. Because communication requires us to interact, to question, to critique, and to engage deeper. It's part of what allows us to experience that transcendental beauty.

So yes, I may find the artist to be despicable, but I do not think this invalidates the work or even what it says, instead it adds layers of nuance, and we ought to be critical of the piece in light of the artist, but what we pull from the piece, even if it was not the artists intention, is still part of the aesthetic reality and the communicative process. It's still just as real and valid. Interpretation ought not to be devalued because it is relativistic.

[demon-girl-izalith]

I do agree with the majority of what you say, but I think I disagree with the characterization of art as a transcendental beauty that exists fully independently of "political reasonance", of people and their interaction with the piece. The art doesn't exist in a vacuum, part of what makes it living is it's context and the communicative element it has with people. I think this interpretation here takes a fully subjective perspective on the art that I don't think quite captures the communicative, give-and-take aspect that I think we use to define art itself.

For example, when I engage with a piece of media I enjoy like the movie Office Space, a piece that has both pro-capitalist but anti-corporation elements, for example, I WILL be critical of some of these elements as the art does not exist in a vacuum, but I will also bring to the table a recognition of the qualities in the piece that met my axioms or expectations. And I think if I'm using my expectations, axioms, etc as a metric then the piece is going to be not fully subjective.

I do think there WILL be a layer of objectivity to that and I think the art itself should be looked at critically, we should ask what it's trying to say and what its appealing to, it SHOULD be the art's problem. We should ask if the piece is really tapping into an "aesthetic" very well, or, for example, if by appealing to the pro-capitalist aspects, if office space is not committed enough to doing so. Perhaps the piece was meant to interact with one aesthetic principle one form, and instead could be argued to be more strongly tied to another. That's where discussion about what a piece is saying becomes important.

By interacting with the art I'm bringing to the table my identity, my expectations and axioms and forms that I'm feeling pull on me, so I'm looking for these in a piece, and so it is entirely fair to criticize the piece for not meeting that expectation, especially if it demonstrates elements that otherwise engage with these themes that may have caught my attention to begin with. It leads to feeling misled by the piece, feeling like an aspect of the art isn't there that should be, as if the art is tied into larger aesthetic realities and they aren't being manifested by the instance of the work in engaging with. Of course, with a different perspective, a different set of axioms, I may indeed find that the piece IS meeting the standards of some other infinite form or transcendental aesthetic, but perhaps not the ones I'm looking for.

Ultimately I think you've made the art too transcendental here, removed too much of its humanity, defining art as a spectacle and nothing else rather than a communicative process that exists connected to ourselves as agents viewing it. Art can be a spectacle, but especially with art made for consumption, I think it is also made in a political context for real human minds, it is still communicative and it is not merely a spectacle. Claiming it is this and only this feels reductionist to me.

i dont think fight club was co-opted by the right because they didnt get the satire, it was co-opted because it fuckign kicks ass. they would have co-opted any movie that is that good and has hot sweaty men in it. right wingers aren't aliens, they know a good movie when they see it, the lesson isn't "don't make satire because the wrong people might think its for them" the lesson would be "don't make art that kicks ass" and i'd rather there be art that kicks ass

Trying to keep your footprint as low as possible is a great way to self-destruct.

And I'm not saying this to people who take two hour showers during international flights while shoving red meat into their mouth. I'm saying this to my fellow activists who feel conflicted about heating their home on fossil fuels even though they don't have any other options (and struggle to afford it).

Like, we can talk about how 'consumer choice' is never going to save the planet and stuff, but more importantly: You are not a sin. Your basic needs deserve to be met. You deserve to be warm and filled with food that satisfies you and you deserve to see your friends.

We are not fighting to save 'the planet', that's a piece of rock. We want to save ecosystems and plants and animals, including people. You are part of that. Don't leave yourself out of the list of creatures that deserve to thrive.

answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:

tl;dr:

israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.

with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!

if you wanna donate to a charity that's absolutely fine, but the thing is most charities (and even the UN!) are unable to make it into gaza in the first place, leaving aid rotting at the egyptian side of the border or subject to israeli settler attacks

not to mention, charities and nonprofits also maintain a paternalistic colonial relationship with the indigenous people they are trying to help, determining what aid they need for them instead of returning power to them and letting them make their own choices

i'm not here to say that one option is better than the other, just that they achieve different things and are equally legitimate. there's an attitude among people who question the legitimacy of these gofundme campaigns that somehow the people promoting them are telling them not to donate to charities. nobody is stopping you from donating to charities. we are just asking that you do not dehumanize the very real gazans in your inbox just because their method of asking for aid is more direct and risky.

unfortunately that's exactly what has happened. because israel destroyed all of gaza's more formalized infrastructure, it seems that organized crime and rampant inflation has taken its place. aid is supposed to be free, but in order to save for evacuation or the cost of living, people have started selling them at an inflated price. and aid that is truly free attracts intense, large crowds that are dangerous to navigate.

this was posted on abc a few days ago

it's pure, unrestrained capitalism. i've had multiple palestinians describe this situation to me confidence. that's why everything's so expensive now. why people have to rent out tiny plots of land for their tents to sit on, why my friend @siraj2024 still has to buy tarps to cover the broken windows of the overpriced bombed out apartment he rented, and why a bag of flour can cost a thousand bucks in the north.

even before israel closed and then bombed the rafah crossing, the egyptian hala travel agency was only allowing people to cross the border if they paid a hefty $5000 USD per adult / $2500 USD per child bribe. it denies doing this, but the hundreds of stories from palestinians say otherwise.

with regard to the economy, here in america we saw something similar happen in the wake of hurricane helene and milton. the podcaster margaret killjoy describes how she saw dual economies rise after asheville was fully cut off from the rest of the country - some people offered each other supplies for free in a sort of mutual aid honor system, and some people required payment when they lent supplies because they themselves needed to buy stuff for their families. these dual economies exist in gaza too. and this means they all still need money to survive.

Omg I've been thinking about this same exact thing like a ton? Perhaps the occasional patches of scales, or on your back but with some Eldritch tentacles instead... Maybe they could wrap over your limbs or something! Super cool stuff... There's so many cool tattoos that could be used in an affirming way like this! :V

We don't talk about nearly enough about the possibilities on tattoos for alterhuman folks. I'm not just talking about someone tattooing the theta delta in your arm.

I'm talking about tattoos of paw beans in your hands, or an animals facial features in your face, whiskers in your cheeks. Like, even bits of fur outlines on your body and chest would. What would I'd like to have is two cuts printed in my back as if a pair of wings should emerge from it (probably couldn't, or shouldn't because I have like three giant scars that cross over my shoulders). Or, or, even the image of wings in your back, giant black wings.

Nonhumans with horns could tattoo themselves antlers in their forehead, mermaid or marine otherkins could have tattoos of gills in their neck. It would be so nice actually

Being mobility impaired is like swimming in subnautica when you're oxygen meter runs low and you start taking physical damage. I can only stand or walk with my cane so long before the pain hits.

When I get home from work and have to pee I have to make a split second decision hobbling to the restroom door with my cane-- do I piss standing or sitting? I weigh the calculated risk, just like when I have to grab another bladder fish before drowning. I choose the wrong one and my HP falls, next thing I know I wake up in my base.

The bladder(fish) wasn't worth the wait...

[demon-girl-izalith]

Hot take, but sometimes I wonder just where the line between fact and fiction is. Why do we have such a binary? Is it possible things are more gray than that? When an artist is possessed by an idea, an urge to create a work, is it not also true to say the art creates the artist? If there is an ouroboros nature to creativity like this, artist makes art and art makes artist, then one could come to the conclusion that perhaps what is reality and what is fictitious is merely a matter of what exists *now*.

We all love some good ol' apotheosis, and queer liberation theology is all the rage... Being trans, becoming more true, becoming more divine. Your friendly neighborhood demon theologian has a proposition... Let's do a dialectic with queer sex positivity and Christian religion, something befitting a succubus... Something deliciously "heretical" in all the right ways.

I think it's time to look at divinity from a fresh, new, and hella gay perspective: Ladies, gentleman, nonbinary pals and lovely persons/nonhumans of Tumblr... It's time for

Auto-Erotic Theism

Why not get off on the idea of becoming divine? Becoming more true and real, more "you"... Enjoy your body. It's a "temple" of divinity. Perhaps that divinity penetrates all throughout nature, that's a beautiful idea, no? Why not take joy in it? How dare we not love love?
