Help Trans Alabamians now!

HB401, or a "drag ban" for Alabama, has been proposed-- and we aren't going to take it. a lot of ground work has been done, but we need all the help we can get.

there's local events for any residents, but for non-residents, the most help you can give is signing the petition to say NO to HB401.

Queer people belong here, because Y'all means All.

you can click the link to the thread where the YT channel links are, I’ll also post them here:

first channel, 은희뉴스2. second channel, 가재맨

third channel, 하이틴에이저 Hi-teenager

fourth channel, 뻑가 PPKKa

fifth channel (fixed link), 호북이

sixth channel (fixed link), 신 남성연대

seventh channel, 슈카월드

I’m most familiar with the ones I’ve put in red- the PPKKa channel previously posted about and the second one is that new men’s solidarity movement (new gen manpower) the guy in the joker outfit leads. so if you’re going to take the time to report any of them I would start with those two first. It’s really easy, just click “more” underneath the channel name and ad the bottom it says “report”. you go through everything there and you should get an email like this

that will also have a unique report ID.

A Gaza-related action

Hey UK folks, there's a thingy here from Action Against Hunger whereby you can email your MP (through a text they've written, or your own) to push them towards getting Westminster to a) support a ceasefire, b) support humanitarian aid getting through to Gaza, especially with so many in danger of starvation (and already experiencing hunger and malnutrition).

Doesn't take long, and even if there's no direct good response it helps keeps the pressure up and the awareness that the UK populace at large wants a ceasefire.

Reblogs of this post (or making your own with the same link) wuld also be super.

Urgent GoFundMe!

This GoFundMe is for the son of one of my oldest friends, a friend who has always been there for me when I needed them. Anyone who can, please contribute! He is now in an emotionally abusive situation with his other parent who is making him do physical labor despite his neckbrace and needs funds to be able to get his own housing in a safe place.

The LastPass hack in November was much worse than we were initially led to believe. Catastrophically worse. And it came after an earlier breach last August. The entire situation has been a disaster of opacity, sparse information sharing and the company making efforts to retain business at the expense of user security, which was the only thing we were paying them for.

I’ve just migrated over to 1Password, which was fortunately a very easy process, because now I begin the painstaking and time eating process of updating every password that I haven’t changed since that November breach. Nothing can be assumed safe.

If you stuck with LassPass, you should really change that today. And if you’re an iOS/MacOS premium account holder, demand a refund; if Apple is processing refunds to third-party Twitter app users for something that those companies didn’t do (Twitter shut off their access) then they should certainly do likewise here when the company is wholly at fault.

Circumvention of Lawful Pathways

Deadline to Submit Public Comment: March 27, 2023

The Gist (as far as I understand it):

The Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice have proposed a new rule that will limit asylum seekers.

According to this rule, people seeking asylum at the US's southern border will be determined ineligible unless:

the individual is granted parole prior to arrival,

presented themselves at a port of entry through a pre-scheduled time and place, or

sought asylum or other protection in a country they traveled through and received a final denial

The rule also relies heavily on an app of all things: CBP One. The app requires Internet access to function and there have been reports of how buggy it is (e.g, it does not recognize black faces). This is the app asylum seekers require, though, if they want to make an appointment to satisfy the second bullet above.

There are some exceptions to using the app, but they're narrow and require the asylum seeker to come up with a 'preponderance of evidence' to get the app usage waived.

Unaccompanied minors are exempt.

The rule is only supposed to last 2 years, but there's allowances for review, extension, and modification.

If you agree this rule is shitty, you can submit a public comment.

Your comment must be unique. Duplicates will get collapsed into one and only count as one comment.

Click where it says 'comment.'

The form is super easy to follow and fill out. No weird boxes to check or anything like that. It took me about 5 minutes.

Some tips:

Be clear in your opening that you OPPOSE the rule.

Provide a reason (e.g., against my faith to be welcoming to others, against domestic and international law to protect the right to seek asylum, provides an unnaturally high barrier for asylum, relies on faulty technology).

That's it. Here's some sites talking about this if you want more info:

American Immigration Lawyers Association

International Affairs Forum

National Immigrant Justice Center

Asian Americans Advancing Justice

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America

Catholic Legal Immigration Network

(Even the Heritage Foundation doesn't like this rule. Of course, their reasoning is very different, but they also call for people to oppose the rule. So strange bedfellows, no?)

A h-heartfelt reunion..?

[nashvillethotchicken]

If we really think about it, this all started with megan dropping Hiss. Hiss was never a Nicki diss, it was a drake/those who've been capping for Mr. Peterson diss first and foremost. Nicki made it about her The only line that could have gone to nicki was the Megan's line bar and she showed her whole ass on that one, but every other bar applied to drake , who'd been dissing megan for years and going up for Tory once he found out he shot her.

Like all of these are about Drake, especially the bbl and cosplay gangster stuff. She was the first person to wack drake for his botched body and his allegiance to the corny culture vulture community. You notice how every other diss to drake has been mentioning what megan said in hiss? She really threw the first diss at drakewall like please give her her flowers

DO YOU BLEED?

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

[lastoneout]

the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet
