you never know what a person is going through and don’t you dare shame a person for something they can’t control.

if you say any of these things you’re disgusting and you need to not only get educated but stop being a dick.

keep in mind that i am aware that these prompts don’t apply to everyone of a certain minority. But this is me teaching to simply be kind and pay respect and mind to a person’s experiences, minority, etc. there are multiple prompts that can be added but I will refrain to using those out of respect, and also due to censorship.

They have turned the Palestinians into actual Guinea pigs for the military industrial complex.

We will see the robots and miserable remote controlled dogs at the next big BLM protest on American soil soon enough.

Sit down, minority! This person who knows nothing about your community and is fueled with misinformation is gonna explain to you how your body works!

[angelfacemjj]

Hey, this is your friendly reminder that cisnormativity and gender binarism are products of colonialism and racism, so I really recommend you, white trans people, to start engaging with anti racism, because ignoring our experiences and upholding white supremacy is only gonna worsen the situation. <3

i didn't plan to come back to tumblr for another week or so but here i am

and i need your help

i am being kicked out of my apartment at the start of September and because of undiagnosed serious depression I'm not able to continue on to the second year of uni

the plan is to move in with my partner on 25th August and work while she continues their degree. however to do that we need money for a deposit. money we do not have

it is very likely I'll be unable to get a job until after moving in and my partner isn't having any luck getting even an interview.

so that's where you come in

£31.39/£1000

at the type of places we're looking at the deposit will work out at around £600-700 with about a 50/50 chance on furnishings past white goods

the rest of the money is going towards keeping me fed and other daily life costs from now until we're settled into the new place

if 1000 people see this and give just £1 then we'd be able to move in together and get on our feet. this would seriously improve both of our lives massively. if you can spare even a dollar or two please do consider it

if you can't i completely understand and there's no judgement here. even just a reblog would be seriously appreciated

thank you for reading :3

I wanted to share some of the things I love about Kamala Harris. I previously made a post about why we need to vote for her to save our country, but this race is no longer the lesser of two evils. Even if this election wasn’t against a fascist dictator I’d still vote for her.

She is kind and tough and unafraid to break down glass ceilings. She’s charismatic and enigmatic. She’s happy and childlike but also capable of taking serious things seriously. She wants to fight for human rights for all. She stands up to corporate greed. She’s extremely intelligent. Kamala could be our first great president in many years. The kind of president we look back on in history with pride.

Kamala represents the possibility of rebuilding our nation to once again be a symbol of freedom. Kamala represents hope for America to be something all its citizens can be proud of. The Fourth of July could become more joyous than it has been in decades.

There’s a lot of concern going around about her ability or desire to fight for Palestine. As far as I can see, I have faith that she will fight for Palestinian lives AND fight against anti semitism all at once. She is intelligent enough to see what a nuanced situation it is.

For me there’s a personal connection. She is multiracial, being both Desi and Afro Caribbean. The same combination of races as me. I admire her because she embraced all her identities despite the fact that multiracial and biracial people are often told to choose one, or told that they can only identify as multiracial and not with their individual heritages.

If you are at all hesitant about Trump, I implore you to consider the value Kamala could add to our country. To find your own personal connection to her and/or Tim Walz. I promise you you’ll find it if you look. Trump and Vance do not represent the interests of any empathetic person in this country, even if you think he does I promise you that you won’t find a personal connection because both of them have given up their humanity.

SOS to my fellow LGBTQ+ members!

One of our Black trans sisters living in Texas needs help reaching her goal for gender-affirming surgery!! The surgery can't be scheduled until the balance is paid in full. The longer it takes to raise funds, the further her surgery gets pushed back. It is absolutely killing her the longer she has to wait; I'm serious when I say she needs this surgery to survive! PLEASE help if you can. PLEASE reblog this post. PLEASE share her GoFundMe as well!

Here is her Venmo @, her email for PayPal, and her GoFundMe link!
