“If you CHOOSE to stay in one of those evacuation areas-” we need to have public transportation running out of evacuation zones and free public storm shelters before you can say bullshit like that. we need to have free wheelchair ramp instillation on homes. we need to have free out of state pet boarding facilities. we need public infrastructure for the people in flood zones since these hurricanes are only getting worse and they are not going to stop.

One of the most annoying things to deal with as a transfem re:discussing media is how many blatantly transmisogynistic and outright hateful tropes there are that tme people will gleefully shove in your face bc "camp" or "good trans rep" or any number of other untrue things.

Hello,👋

I'm Abdelrahman, 22 years old. My journey has been marked by loss and resilience. When I was 18, my father passed away from COVID-19. Determined to build my own future, I pursued an education in multimedia technology, balancing my studies with work to cover my expenses. I was preparing to establish my home and life.

A few days later, I was hit by a missile in this previously destroyed house

However, the war in Gaza, especially in the north, brought devastating tragedy. My home, university, job, and family were all destroyed in the conflict. While my family moved to the south, I was in the north, facing famine and moving from place to place, trying to survive.

Our street used to be lively and full of people, but it is no longer like that.

I have witnessed countless difficult and painful scenes while escaping death multiple times. In northern Gaza, life is reduced to a cycle of fleeing from danger and searching for food amidst the rubble of destroyed homes.

Our house that sheltered my entire family

Now, my dream is to travel abroad with my mother and sister to continue my education and develop my practical skills. For the past eight months, I have been unemployed, focusing on self-improvement and hoping for a better future.

My mother: the princess whom we strive to make happy and satisfy. ❤️️

This is where your kindness and generosity can make a profound difference. Your support will help me rebuild my life and continue my education. It will provide us with the opportunity to escape the cycle of danger and destruction, and to work towards a future filled with promise and potential.

I am humbly asking for your help in raising funds to cover the costs of travel, education, and basic living expenses as we strive to start anew. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to safety, stability, and success.

With deepest gratitude,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.

With deepest gratitude,

Abdelrahman

Her name is Valentina Petrillo and she is a visually-impaired sprinter.

Time to support her, because even without the racism element I expect she will be getting some flak from Awful, Awful People.

While I have not played Boyfriend Dungeon and cannot attest to its specific quality, conceptually this doesn't actually sound that infantilizing? Especially compared to how poly rep is normally represented in dating sims and games with romance mechanics? Hell, generally it wasn't even mechanically possible to play a polyamorous character in most video games until very recently.

And even then, it's not like it's good depictions of poly people. Mass Effect gives you the option to bring up polyamory after you cheat on a partner only for them to call you out and force you to choose which character you want a monogamous relationship with (one character says she's alright with it in Andromeda but treats your other relationships as innately casual side flings you'll eventually drop). Baldurs Gate 3 only has polyamory available for a very specific combination of characters (and an even smaller group that are actually enthusiastically into polyamory). If you're a poly lesbian - like I am - you're essentially incapable of seeing yourself in the game despite it's core design philosophy for that part of the game being built around inclusivity and representation. The Sims as a series, despite being even more built on self-insertion than BG3 is, took until the fourth installment to give you an option to be genuinely polyamorous and not just a serial adulterer. And even then it wasn't in the base game it was in an expansion pack released ten years after the initial launch. Life is Strange has a scene where, if you try to romance Chloe and Warren, Max has a dream/hallucination where they scathingly chew her out for daring to romantically love more than one person at a time. Fallout 4 didn't mechanically restrict your polyamorous options, but explicitly none of the romanceable companions are happy with you being polyamorous and will vocally protest the presence of other romanceable companions you've also romanced. They are very vocally against the whole polyamory thing as a concept. Stardew Valley also has it impossible to be polyamorous without framing it as you cheating on everyone involved. If you don't have a specific item in your inventory it'll essentially destroy your romances with all of them even if you do the item you need - a rabbit's foot - kind of implies they view it more as you being lucky you haven't been caught cheating than a genuine attempt at poly rep.

I dunno, maybe I just don't spend enough time in the Indie Queer Dating Sim scene, but it's actually kind of nice to have games - and media as a whole - that depict polyamorous relationships that don't either significantly limit us in comparison to monogamous people or moralize at us about how Innately Shallow and Bad and Harmful our relationship structures are by virtue of being non-monogamous.

I dunno, man, normally I agree with most of your posts, or at least understand where you're coming from, but this post is kinda radiating this energy rn.

We need to stop yelling at teenage fanfic authors about how polyamory isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card for relationship drama and start yelling the exact same thing at the creators of every queer dating sim with a moderately successful Kickstarter campaign and art that looks like this:

We’re all having “hard conversations” about racism, police brutality, and #BlackLivesMatter I hope. 

You’ve probably noticed that detractors often use the same “racist talking points” in response. Here’s a researched and sourced guide to help you answer, for the times you may get stuck.

Why the fuck do people who post Charlastor keep following me lmao Like, take a hint.

on 23 June a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit Mexico with its epicenter in Oaxaca, where there is a predominant indigenous demographic. the majority of the damage occurred in indigenous pueblos that are still curently recovering from the devastating earthquake that happened 3 years ago. these same indigenous communities are also simultaneously experiencing displacement due to COVID 19 and lack of government aid. these are places that have the most vulnerability and need the most direct action and attention in recovery and aid.
