The Taiwanese government has appointed Audrey Tang, a transgender software developer and self-described “civic hacker” to its executive council to head digital policy. Tang, 35, will be the youngest and first transgender official in Taiwan’s executive government, known as the yuan.

Tang will be tasked with making the government more transparent, and making data about how it works available to all, as well helping form Taiwan’s “Asian Silicon Valley,” a new tech zone devoted to the“internet of things” industry. On Facebook on Aug.25, she said that her mission was not to do propaganda but to “serve as a channel” that combines “intelligence and power.”

I bought the book after seeing a post quoting it float around Tumblr. Not bedtime reading.

I wanted to post these types because while most of us are familiar with the philanderer or hyper masculine abuser, it’s important to recognize these types.

You’re not “crazy” if you believe you’re being abused and the dude isn’t a violent drunk bro.

The last one is especially important with more and more men identifying as feminist without more reason than they’re not “one of those guys”.

Quand tu lis un article sur une femme tuée dans son pavillon, que le mari dit que c’est un cambrioleur qui l’a attaquée au cutter à la gorge et que lui est légèrement blessé au bras.

Quand tu regardes le lendemain s’il y a plus d’infos sur le sujet et que tu vois qu’une voisine a entendu la femme crier “arr��te, arrête, ça suffit” et qu’un riverain évoque “des disputes à répétition et quelques troubles de voisinage”…

………

Tu sais, quand sur certaines affaires, les médias mettent bien les trucs entre guillemets, parlent d’accusations, de peut-être et on n’est pas sûrs et laissez la police faire son travail, et puis pour ce genre d’affaire on y va franco en mode

parce que hey, lol, pourquoi ne pas faire 100% confiance à la version du mari.

PS : Qui veut parier mon salaire de l’année que, si jamais l’enquête dévoile qu’il n’y a pas eu cambriolage, aucun journal ne s’excusera ?

A lot of people don’t understand how difficult it can be to know you are asexual for sure, and to be confident that the label is true on you. You spend years asking yourself, “How can I know if I feel sexual attraction or not?”

Trying to prove you DON’T experience something is actually ridiculously hard especially when you are nowhere close to understanding what it is you’re trying to disprove.

It’s a lot like playing a game of Where’s Waldo, but you have no idea what Waldo looks like and you rely entirely on the partial description of him you get from other people.

Take this image, and find “Jeremy” in it:

At first you’re like, “Who tf is Jeremy? That’s a thing?”

And then from discrete descriptions you hear in the hallways, you find out Jeremy has a red shirt.

And so you point to everyone on that picture who has a red shirt like, “Hey hey, red, THIS could be him. Certainly one of these is him!”

But, alas, you’ve gotten it confused with someone similar, but not him at all. This happens when you mistake romantic attraction or aesthetic attraction for sexual attraction or, if you’re aro, platonic attraction for romantic attraction. You’ve misidentified him because he was wearing the same color shirt and looked somewhat like what others were talking about.

You go online and ask for more descriptions of Jeremy, and you may gleam a few details. People are like, “Oh no, Jeremy has stripes on his shirt, and a funky…I don’t know, over the shoulder scarf thingy. Look, it’s really hard to explain. Trust me, if you have seen Jeremy, you would KNOW him.” Which is like ??? confusing, although it is true.

If only you could prove Jeremy isn’t on your board you would know you’re ace//aro, but it’s hard to ever be 100% certain he isn’t there when you have no clue what he looks like.

Which is why it is important for aces//aros to just, forget about trying to be 100% certain and just identify anyways. That’s what helped me the most, knowing that I didn’t have to prove something, I could just assume, “Yeah, if I had felt sexual attraction, I would know. I don’t have to prove without a doubt I don’t in order to use the word.” It’s okay, you give yourself your own validation.

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver’s office issued a July 30 statement announcing that the city no longer has trash service and garbage will not be picked up starting Monday.

“Due to the circumstances, there will be no trash pick-up in the city starting this Monday, Aug. 1, 2016,” said the statement sent by Flint spokeswoman Kristin Moore. “Until a new agreement is officially in place, we ask the residents not set their trash out at the curb to prevent animals from disturbing it and make the situation worse.”

The announcement comes after the city’s contract with Republic Services expired on July 29 at 5 p.m. The trash contract has been an ongoing dispute since June when the Flint City Council voted against Weaver’s recommendation to award a $17.5-million-trash contract to Rizzo Environmental Services.

[…] 

Weaver later vetoed the council’s decision to renew a contract with Republic and the council voted to override her decision.

Council President Kerry Nelson said the decision to end trash services are “exclusively the decision of Mayor Karen Weaver.”

Yo, make this Marina Joyce shit fucking viral.

This seriously is like- fucking me up, she’s seriously not the fuck okay, if anyone would understand, it would be the TCC.

If you don’t know what’s going on, this girl named Marina Joyce is a Youtuber and told everyone she moved to a new house about three months ago. She has been seen in new videos looking extremely scared and being told what to do. In her videos there are male voices heard, and her whispering for help in some audio of this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqhFUbtpiB4

Also in the link above, by the end you can hear a man say “great”. 

In some background of the videos, a rifle, chloroform, and barred windows. There are also reports of seeing a man in a mask in the reflection of her eyes and behind her bed, I do not own sources for these.

She posted for a meet-up in London at a place which I don’t remember the name. But she wants it to start at 6:30am. Problem being, the police have been notified of this. This place is been active for murder, and the place she wants to meet up at doesn’t open for two more hours. 

Another issue; the police confirmed she was kidnapped and is actively missing from England, and have tracked her down to California. She is seen with bruises on her legs and arms, like she was being kicked and thrown around. She has grown extremely skinny. Whoever this man is that she is currently with, he has red knuckles as if he’s been hitting something.

She’s been constantly stuttering and looking behind her camera like somebody is telling her what to say and what to do.

Marina has been rumored to be a drug user, and there are some signs of it, but this is way, way fucking worse. 

People have begged her to draw hearts on any part of her body if she is in danger, and has made many active tweets that are very random, and has been making lots of heart shapes with emojis, and has been putting on cat makeup with a heart shaped nose, made of eyeliner. An Instagram user has asked her to put a cat emoji in her biography if she is in trouble, which she did.

This man is basically running her social media and I fear for her safety. I missed her live stream, but I am worried for her safety. 

Edit: 

I saw that a video was uploaded onto her Twitter but was taken down, and I tried watching it on Tumblr, but it was taken down as well. It was apparently her gasping and wheezing, telling people to NOT attend the Meet Up. 

Here’s pictures:

The Rifle:

The Bruises + His Knuckles:

The dot on her palm (commonly used for women to show signs that she’s being abused):

The hearts:

The weird tweets:

The times of this place:

The bars on the window:

From the most recent live stream: 

This is so fucking important.

***!URGENT!***

Okay so this is a jumble to explain but it’s basically about Marina Joyce. 

  In short, she is a Youtuber that is believed to be kidnapped, in an abusive relationship she cannot escape and most likely having to forcibly take drugs and hallucinogens. The Police were not able to get in contact with her and although they have before, they were called off and it was explained on social media there is reasonable evidence to display that she does not even control her own social media accounts.

MORE INFORMATION: https://justpaste.it/wm1b   

    and there’s even more if you search for it on tumblr where people are putting the pieces together little by little so it seems!

She uploads videos every Thursday but it’s undeniable how uncomfortable she is in them.  She looks so shaky and her old videos she was such a happy, glowing and outgoing girl. Now she is literally a paranoid, disheveled, panicky WRECK being directed by some unknown face behind the camera.

There is something fishy going on and it petrifies me. It hits my gut hard and gives me chills. And I don’t get shaken up easily!

  The point of this is to  SPREAD THE WORD. She has over 600,000 fans who know what’s happening and even used to date KSI’s Brother but for some reason, NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THIS ON YOUTUBE. It’s like nobody knows, not even NEWS CHANNELS.

I HAVE A PLAN

Hear me out, my plan is that we message Scarce. Scarce is a huge Youtube News Channel that has helped so many others in the past and he NEEDS to get ahold of this. 

HIS TWITTER IS @JOHNSCARCE

Because he is so huge, I think Twitter would be the best way to contact him but 

HERE IS HIS YOUTUBE

NOTE: IT DOES NOT HAVE TO STOP HERE. DM LEAFY, DM GRADEAUNDERA, DM PYROCYNICAL, DM IHE, DM PHILIP DEFRANCO,  DM FUCKING KEEMSTAR IF YOU WANT.  HELL, DM COMEDYSHORTSGAMER, HE IS HER EX. 

The most we can do is spread the word.

Quelque chose que j’avais publié du lointain temps où j’allais par le pseudonyme d’Ailéna! ( ça me faisait trop penser à alien, alors, j’ai changé. xD )  L’aromantisme c’est grave génial mais en français on a environ 0,0000000000000000000000001  ressources sur le sujet alors voilà de quoi changer un peu les choses :D A noter qu’il y a ÉNORMÉMENT d’autres orientations sur le spectre dont je  ne connaissais pas l’existence à l’époque où j’ai fais ceci. Vous voulez que j’ajoute la votre? Pas de souci, envoyez moi une mini description + le nom de votre orientation et je me charge de rajouter les descriptions dans des reblog. :D Want me to make an english version? Since I still have all the .xcf files ( yes I use GIMP don’t judge me )  it’s really easy for me to do so. I just need to know that it’s not a waste of time and somebody would actually like to have one xD If it’s the case just tell me ^^

[mysterieuseornithorynque]

[mysterieuseornithorynque]

Also most of the time if your LGBT+ center doesn’t have documentation on asexuality / aromanticism if you ask them to add some and eventually send them some links they will just add it ^^ Many just don’t know about those orientations yet ( like in france people rarely know we even exist xD ) , but once they realize it’s a thing, they are just really happy to offer help and support. :) 

Aces “invading” queer spaces.

Wait, what? We’re actually welcome? And wanted in them? And actually help run them? Huh, who knew!

“Eva Lewis is someone you should know. She and three other black teenage girls were the driving force behind Monday’s massive sit-in protest in Millennium Park and subsequent march to protest gun violence and police brutality in Chicago.The event to “break the divide between communities, and bring youth from all areas of Chicago in solidarity with Black Lives Matter,” drew more than 1,000 people and the attention of local and national media—not bad for a group of 16- and 17-year-olds who organized the whole thing on social media. “

Some old fella came up to me at work and asked a question only he didn’t quite figure out if he should call me “sir” or “ma’am” by the time he got to the end of his sentence and in a moment of apparent panic ended up saying “captain” instead. Absolutely made my day.
