Also this rise of tumblr users determined to call all gofundme’s a scam over the smallest details is so telling of the average person’s ability to have empathy and understand the lengths a person will go to to help their family survive. Yes, Gazans are making multiple accounts, they are sending asks relentlessly, they are copying templates/formats text posts from each other, they are giving extreme and explicit details of their suffering, they are using google translate to try to reach as many people as possible, but wouldn’t you do the same if it was your family you needed for raise money for survival for? How can you not understand where they’re coming from before jumping to calling them scammers?

What an amazing place to live in! I'm sure Arabs feel so safe and secure in the most democratic country in the middle east.

Tonight the state of Missouri killed Marcellus Williams.

The nation cried out for his life and we were ignored.

The family of Felicia Picus (the woman he was accused of murdering) asked for a stay of execution. They will never see justice for their loss.

The prosecutor asked for a stay.

But it did nothing.

Governor Mike Parson refused to save Marcellus' life.

The Supreme Court refused to save Marcellus' life.

Marcellus Williams was killed for a crime he did not commit.

Marcellus "Khaliifah" Williams was a Black, Muslim man and he was murdered by a system which was never meant to protect him.

Marcellus is a victim of the unjust justice system of this country.

Say his name.

I bring a "Dean Winchester is neither a manwhore nor a womanizer" kind of vibe to the fandom that Dean simps really don't appreciate.

Been clowning a bit lately

Do you think Mary knew that her son was dead the moment he was born?

Do you think she held her baby and knew that no matter how much suffering he soothed, how many people helped it would never be enough? Did she know that the only way for him to live up to his father's expectations was to break his mother's heart?

Hi!! My name is Scarlet and I am a cosplayer on TikTok and Instagram (under the same username (with underscores instead of dashes)). I recently had the opportunity to apply for Sephora Squad and I would appreciate any testimonials of my work or if more cosplayers and alternative makeup artists would consider applying next year. I would love to see more of us represented in the beauty community :)

nothing has made me feel like an ancient grumpy crone more than the “using chatgpt for school is fine actually” sentiment among youths

Text adapted from this post by palestinian writer and my dear friend Siraj Abudayeh ( @siraj2024 )

Since siraj's home was destroyed in november by the IOF, he and his family have been displaced seven times. Since then they have been at constant risk of starvation, violence and illness.

Since the latest attack by the IOF that displaced his parents, his siblings and their families, Siraj is the sole provider for 23 family members now. This is already when three young children are sick with serious infections during a time where children in gaza are not even able to to get basic vaccinations anymore. He is struggling badly to make ends meet, and it weighs on him greatly that he is not able to provide for his family at such a difficult time.

Currently, he is at $51,480 CAD / $82,000 

He needs to reach his goal as soon as possible to take care of his family.

Please donate anything you can spare, easing this burden off his shoulders even a little is the least we can do right now

Vetted and appears #219 on @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi’s list of vetted fundraisers, so please dont hesitate to share and donate.

Since the gfm organizer is based in canada, the gfm will not accept donations from paypal. Please DM @malcriada who is a trusted friend of siraj if you wish to donate using paypal, or are otherwise having any issue donating to the gfm with general cards.

Eh as a trans guy I'm not sure I agree with your points for trans Sam (you're totally entitled to your opinion ofc tho, this isn't meant to be an attack, just an addition to the discussion so feel free to straight up delete this message lol). The feeling impure stuff (for me) doesn't really start until *after* he finds out about ingesting Azazel's demon blood, before that he feels different because his family is poor and they have to move around a lot but he equally feels different to both John and Dean bc they don't feel a need to be "normal", so to speak.

As for the demon blood as testosterone.... uh it comes off as a little bit transphobic? I'm rly not trying to be a wet blanket about it but testosterone making you violent is a myth, a pretty transphobic one. The demon blood storyline is intended to parallel an addiction so comparing it to hormone treatment doesn't really work. This is the point I take the most issue with actually because it's genuine misinformation and paints all trans guys as violent addicts.

Dean calling him Sammy is literally just sibling behaviour, I call my siblings versions of their names even if it annoys them and they do the same to me. (You could probably more apply this point to Crowley, who calls him Samantha).

Dean also calls both men and women, as well as male and female monsters "bitch", making it a gender neutral insult for him. Sam on the other hand mostly refers to women using the term.

Lots of cis men have long hair and Sam's hair really isn't that long. So that's pretty surface level and I don't see what it would have to do with being trans. It's fairly surface level but ig I can sorta see it.

The only person who tries to imply that Sam is less of a man's man is Dean, which tbh is 2000s sibling behaviour, Sam repeatedly does the same to Dean. In every encounter they have (aside from the people who mistake them for a couple), Dean is the one who has his masculinity questioned (when Elliot Ness calls him a nancy, when they're sent back in time and the men say Dean's clothes are too clean, the whole mess with the Campbell's at the beginning of s6).

I totally understand where you're coming from and your points are absolutely valid.

I will say however that my father and I have both been on T and were absolute bitches until our doses were figured out hormones make people act weird sometimes. Though that part of the post was explicitly called a joke. (The parallel between his addiction and Crowley's was wonderfully done in my opinion)

Once again your opinion is valid but I seem to recall Sam telling Dean that as a child he never felt like he belonged, like "a freak". Beyond their weird childhood.

Thank you for sharing another perspective :)

I have an addendum, he sees himself as Dallas Winston but he is not. He is Darry Curtis. The man who gave up everything for his brother because at the end of the day he could never make any other choice.

And Sam is Ponyboy, a sensitive soul who loves nothing more than to read and write. Driven from his home by a father figure's anger. John was crueler than Darrell by a mile but their anger effected both boys just the same.

While Dean sees himself as Dallas, a cold, aggressive, neerdowell with one soft spot. His brother.

Dean Winchester is a Dallas Winston kinnie.

"Sam makes more sense to be queer coded than Deam."

"Sam's definitely the gayer sibling"

*LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER*

Sam is actually trans, walk with me here.

Spends his whole life feeling as if his body is wrong, tainted, impure. Feels trapped by a component in his body that is not his own.

He has to ingest demon blood to achieve his full potential. It makes him more aggressive (testosterone methinks) *this one is mostly a joke*

He REPEATEDLY asks Dean to call him by his chosen name (Sam instead of Sammy)

Dean calls him bitch, while using son of a bitch regularly outside of that context. (this being a pre-transition hold over)

People constantly make fun of his long, well cared for hair.

He's looked at as less of a man's man constantly.

Got called cringe in the comments of one of my Chica videos by some teen boy, replied "to be cringe is to be free." Guess what happened?

A completely seperate teen boy replied to my comment with "cringe 💀" and then my little sister laughed at me for ten minutes.

Did anyone else grow up to be anti-imperialist because of A Bug's Life? Like it's how I was able to understand the Irish "Famine" and civil war.

Is this too niche?

It's weird to hear my friends claim to want sugar daddies because to me the goal isn't for a man to buy my submission.

If anything it's to bring a man with more power and money than me to his knees.

As Marx intended.
