I woke up today crying, helpless and overwhelmed. Just a short time ago, we lived in our home, safe and at peace. Now, after 680 days of war, I have lost many family members, my mother is in the operating room, and I’m injured in my hand.

look I've harped on this before but I think it's worth doing again. if you put "cis men dni" you are forcing trans men to out themselves to interact with you and that's shitty. you're also making eggs and closeted transfems feel worse about themselves and making the distance between womanhood/femininity and themselves feel that much wider and unassailable. (source: me) you're ALSO making recently out/early stages of transition/just very insecure trans women feel like shit, and probably desperately consider what the difference is between themselves and men, and they likely won't interact with you either. (source: me again) also yk what I get it kind of if ur making sapphic posts or whatever but sometimes it just isn't necessary. sometimes it genuinely is just shitty to cis men too and it promotes a weird ass culture of bioessentialism. just. you're showing a message. and it's maybe not the one you think you are, or the one you want.

Nothing in the world feels as unjust as the fate of the Disco Elysium developers.

Imagine you build this in-depth fictional setting over the course of decades with your friends, and then decide to turn it into a game for fun. You end up creating one of the most celebrated and well-written RPGs of all time and become celebrated for reviving a dying genre.

A few months later, you're fired from the company you founded for criticizing the new direction its taking. The company has the copyright not only to the game you made, but literally everything in the world of the game, which spans decades of lore you built for no profit with your group of friends.

Like, this is a nightmare that I didn't even know existed before I ran into it. To have, what is essentially a passion project that branched off from a TTRPG campaign, be pulled from your hands by a corporate entity that only yearns to abuse your creation for maximum profit. I couldn't imagine myself going on creating anything after that.

when you accidentally call your teacher 'mom' during sex

Ouran high school was my favourite anime when I was like 14 which is really funny because thats also the age I basically was in a Haruhi fujioka situation. Not like fully literally but the meat of it was the same

I was the one single middle-class kid in a super high-end rich kid private academy with like pressed uniforms and building wings and everything. I didnt get any sort of scholarship, my dad just got a job as a teacher there and teachers kids got to enroll for free because the tuition was like 30 grand a year and you arent affording that on a teacher salary. So I understand her on a very visceral level and perhaps enjoyed OHSHC so much because she was SOOO me fr. These damn rich people

Last night, while I was at Nasser Hospital, I was shot in my right hand by random Israeli army gunfire.

Now, I’m pleading with one hand to save my family.

Look, pal, when I say "fanfiction does not have the cultural reach to be able to change social perceptions of controversial topics"

what I mean is "if Game of Thrones could not manage to normalize incest, a handful of shipcest fics on AO3 with 50 kudos each sure aren't going to manage to normalize it!"

And you know that. In your heart you know it.

I'd rather hangout with the straight boyfriend than the queer cop who insists they're one of the "good ones" while harassing people of color

I'd rather hangout with the straight palestinian grandma than the queer zionist who keeps insisting that the death of palestinians is the one way ticket to queer liberation

I'd rather hangout with the leather dyke who is a mspec gaybian and uses paw/pawself pronouns than the puritan who makes "callout posts" clearly targeting disabled queer artists

I'd like to post once again on behalf of my friend Suad. She has reached out to me again because things are only getting worse for her and her family.

Just like everyone in Gaza, she is deeply affected and suffering due to the manufactured famine. She is hardly receiving enough donations for her family to get by, and what donations she does receive are barely enough for flour and baby food for her son, Khaled, and a handful of vegetables.

Khaled, who was born under the siege and genocide has been in constant need of medical care as he has been ill due to malnutrition and the conditions that Suad and her family have been living under. This is an infant whose life has been nothing but struggle from the day he was born.

As you can see, the fundraiser is going incredibly slow, especially as Tumblr keeps deleting Suad's blog and she has not been able to advocate for herself or for her family's survival.
