Hi đ, My name is Mohammad, and Iâm reaching out in a moment of desperate need. Iâm a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. đ
Iâve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my familyâs safety and well-being. đ«¶
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. đ
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. â€ïžâđ©č

Does Mr. Turner like rubbing his âsonâsâ successful career in Dinklebergâs face??
He does! He brags about Timmy's success to every person within the neighborhood's vicinity. Mr. Turner loves how successful his son is! It really secures his reputation at the neighborhood HOA meetings they host at their house.
Timmy's worked very hard to gain more successes than failures. The more successful he is, the greater his family's social standing!! And the less he gets to overhear his dad ranting to the neighborhood about his failures.

Support a translator of color!
This is an ongoing situation as of 2023.06.24.
My friend Yilin (she/they) does a lot (A LOT) of work translating literature from Chinese to English, among other things. And they allowed me to signal boost this on tumblr since she doesn't have one yet.
The beginning of the thread is here: https://twitter.com/yilinwriter/status/1670305203206385665 and all the tweet images below are not described because they are previews of direct links to the tweets.
Key points: The British Museum stole their translation work and used it, uncredited, in a major exhibit where they "appeared in photos on a giant display, on signage, in a physical guide, in a digital guide, in an audio guide, and in an app that is available for international download. How did NO ONE catch there was no credit?"
The response from the British Museum has been enormously disappointing so far:
"we will not be reinstating the translations in the exhibition that have been removed following your complaint, and therefore you will not be acknowledged in the exhibition as your work will not be featured" - except the uncredited translations are still in the 30,000 copies of the exhibition catalog.
Go check out more updates downthread as the situation develops.
Want to support Yilin?
"If you want to write to them or have written to the BM, you can help convey these demands of mine to them: - credit + public apology everywhere the work appears - proper payment (increased to account for lack of prior permission given & all the time the work was uncredited)"
Boost Yilin's book! "The Lantern & the Night Moths, an anthology of Chinese poetry that I selected & translated, featuring poets incl. Qiu Jin, accompanied by my essays on translation, forthcoming w/ @/invisibooks in Spring 2024"
Yilin's page: https://yilinwang.com/book-announcement-the-lantern-and-the-night-moths/
and the pre-order link: https://invisiblepublishing.com/product/the-lantern-and-the-night-moths/
I'll try to update as more things happen, or you can go camp out on the thread.
Edit: please reblog the most current update here from 2023.07.05:
#Chinese poetry#British Museum#Yilin Wang#translation#copyright infringement#colonialism#translation is a lot of work! credit the translators!#signal boost#my post#book rec#long post#If you see this through me#please update the most current reblog#you can probably find it most easily on my blog in Yilin Wang tag#crowdfunding#lgbtqia+#racism#the full post is so long now as of 2023.07.05 but more to come~

MRA's love to claim that if women were in charge the world would go to shit bc we'd "get our periods and declare war," which is obviously a batshit insane, uneducated, and maximally misogynistic belief to begin with. I shouldn't have to tell you that our periods don't actually make us emotionally unstable, that in fact fewer than 20% of college-age women (women who aren't even old enough for the prefrontal cortex to finish developing, and thus are far from old enough to, for example, be eligible to run for US president) even report "severe" psychological symptoms of PMS - and this includes symptoms like depressed mood and anxiety.
in fact, PMS isn't even something all women experience. and of those who do, there's a huge variety of ways it can present. most symptoms women associate with PMS are not emotional: bloating, body soreness, headaches, oversleeping, food cravings, nausea/vomiting, hot flashes, breast tenderness....
from the article linked above: "Definitions of PMS and diagnostic criteria to identify cases have varied substantially over the years and across studies, in large part due to the heterogeneity of womenâs menstrual symptom experience. Over 150 symptoms have been associated with PMS."
overwhelmingly, research shows that the effect of PMS on women in the workplace is the same as that of any other medical problem/illness: some people miss some work if it's severe enough. which, considering that symptoms can often include various types of pain that can be quite severe, as well as common illness symptoms like nausea and vomiting, it makes perfect sense that some women would need to take a day off or leave a bit early at times. what the research does NOT say is that PMS causes women to behave in irrational ways that negatively impact the quality of her work.
so let's be truthful. why would female leaders mean more war when women and girls are so overwhelmingly and horrifically sexually victimized as a result?
if most women don't even experience severe mood symptoms with PMS, and having mood symptoms doesn't mean one is unable to control her actions/behaviors (I know this concept of self-control is foreign to most men, but we're pretty good at it!), and there's absolutely zero evidence to suggest that severe PMS mood symptoms would or could ever lead to declaring war, and women old enough to hold office in most countries have many years of experience managing their pre/peri-menstrual symptoms (if they even have any), and most world leaders are past the age women stop even having periods at all, and we see that women in other leadership positions are absolutely crushing it all over the world, and there IS significant evidence showing that women in numerous fields actually outperform male peers (despite feeling significantly less respected in higher-rank positions than males feel, as well as feeling more discouraged and frustrated) and are more emotionally intelligent, there IS evidence that women are less influenced by and better at regulating anger in the workplace, and there IS indisputable evidence that men are more violent than women in general, regardless of the reason, and there IS indisputable evidence that women and girls suffer mass victimization by men during wartime... then maybe, just maybe, women are actually less likely than men to start wars. but there's only one way to find out for sure đ
#most of the data supports female superiority if I'm honest...#like there's endless evidence of the bias against us EVERYWHERE#especially career wise in every field#and we aren't accommodated at all despite having different needs from men#in so many ways the world is built to boost men and hold us back#yet look at these links#women stay winning#mine#radblr#data tag#data#important info#reference#ref#hope for Women

I wanted to know how do you interpret Tanya's gender. After reading chapter 58 of the manga i got the impression that she is definitely trans coded, but maybe thats just me
Very good question.
To be honest, when I think too hard about Tanyaâs gender (and sexuality, for that matter) it gives me brain worms. Fun brain worms, but brain worms nonetheless. I canât explain it. Everything sheâs got going on is complicated as shit thereâs way too much to think about.
Like, she was a man, but now she's a girl. But at some points she says she still sees herself as a man internally so is this MtFtM? How does that work. And if she accepts she's a woman now, is that just MtF or do we add more letters. More importantly: Was Being X being Transphobic or being the Greatest Trans Ally of All Time with the free divinely issued sex change.
Ok ok, jokes aside. Confession: I actually do not keep up with the manga, so I had to go find the chapter and read it first. Having read it now though, I see what you mean.
The conversation she has with the Salaryman/herself in that chapter really does read as essentially saying âIâve accepted who I am now.â Itâs a far cry from a much earlier part of the manga I remember where she has a breakdown about being a man/people seeing her as a girl.
A friend of mine was actually showing me stuff from more recent chapters of the manga (donât know which chapter tragically, but I know itâs not currently translated to English) and from what I gathered of it, Being X was showing Tanya a dream of being back in her past life and in response she basically demanded to go back to being Tanya immediately. It is definitely not just you, I 100% see the trans-coding youâre talking about.
As for my personal interpretation of her gender, I touched very briefly on it once before, but I honestly think she wouldnât want to label herself as anything. At first, this is out of hesitance and not wanting to acknowledge that anything might be ââwrongââ or ââdifferentââ about her. Later on it turns into character growth, more along the lines of, âI donât need the label to define me, I just am what I am/like what I like. I donât care about it any more than that.â Yes this is 100% projection on my part. No, I wonât apologize for it lmao.
Of course, that's entirely my own headcanon. I definitely am not saying itâs the only way to interpret her, itâs just my personal thoughts. Especially since my opinion is subject to change on a dime depending on what Iâm reading/working on myself. The Tanya gender is, in fact, transient, shifting like water.
Like. A transfem Tanya fic that focuses on her adapting to life in her new world and coming to discover she doesnât actually hate her new body? Iâd totally read that. Iâve seen a few fics that include that as a part of the narrative and those scenes of acceptance were among my favorite parts.
I get the feeling this is the route that the manga is going as well. Itâs a bit of a shame that we don't have those aforementioned scenes in the light novel (or at least, I don't remember them), but I donât think that Carlo Zen really intended that to be the focus/narrative in the first place. And honestly, I also think thatâs a good thing because it allows for so much more room for interpretation and headcanon around Tanyaâs character.
Anyway, the other direction is also compelling to me. A transmasc Tanya fic where, after feeling uncomfortable and hating how feminine he looks for years and years, he finally goes âFuck this, Iâm gonna go back to being a manâ? I would read the fuck out of that too.
Could also be paired with him finally choosing to defect, where they think about it like, âWell thereâs nothing to hold me back now, right? I donât have to maintain appearances anymore. Also, since Iâm defecting this would be a great way to hide myself. Theyâd all be looking for the wrong person. Two birds with one stone, how efficient.â âŠNow weâre getting to fic ideas I wonât ever get to so itâs time to move on I think.
Semi-related to the Trans Tanya Concept, this actually brings me to a bit of a lore/headcanon/idea/question I want to present to the public for opinions. In Norden, during the inciting battle of the war, Tanya uses magic to âdope upâ so she could enhance her strength and reaction time and kill pain. I took this to mean she used a formula to synthesize the narcotics/adrenaline hormone/whatever else directly into herself, right?
Can you see where Iâm going with this? As long as you know which hormones to make, how theyâre made up, and what quantities you need⊠Well, donât you think magic HRT is completely possible? Of course, as I'm not sure it makes sense for Salaryman to have known the detailed specifics about it from the modern world, it would require a lot of in-universe research/science advancement for someone to actually do that, but theoretically...
The magic system in this universe has so much potential to be explored, Iâm fascinated by what you can theoretically do with it. Although, this is long and off-topic already I think this should be the end, lol.
I think I talked too much? Iâm sorry, you were probably not expecting such an answer. I told you, Tanya gives me brain worms (mental illness).
I guess the TL;DR is this: that kid definitely ainât cishet.
#marathehomosexual#ask#not a daily post#you could ask me a simple yes or no question and i would STILL find a way to make the answer multi-paragraph#i STILL have things to talk about. im just choosing to throw it in the tags now#LIKE. if synthesizing hormones is something completely possible in universe#is birth control possible as well? how about anti-depressants?#how far can we go with this? can you get addicted to these magic-synthetic chemicals/hormones/whatever?#say you need a little pick me up in the day. you give yourself a little boost in the happy-brain-chemicals (dopamine or whatever)#(im not a biologist or knowledgeable about most biology-related things honestly. please just go with it)#would a mages body start to rely on magic to produce it and stop creating it naturally anymore?#could this create a dependency? would you start to need to make more?#its insane. i feel insane#you ask me a simple question and i refuse to stop elaborating#rimu be quiet now

Alright, before I start posting any more smut, let me go ahead and teach you guys how to shit on, oopsâi meant change your community labels provisions and give you some 411 on them:
COMMUNITY LABELS
So, if youâre on tumblrâover the age of 18 (or not, Iâm not gonna be one of the many liars on this website and say I wasnât devouring smut about bands i looked up to when i was younger than 18, but you will not be interacting with me if youâre tryna read what I write and youâre not 18 years or older) and you Iike to read fanfiction or you like to browse through art, odds are youâre missing out on a lot. See, last fall, maybe end of summer, tumblr introduced these âflaggingâ guidelines they call Community Labels. If what you write or draw meets the ârequirementsâ (spoiler alert, even if they meet none of the requirements, tumblr will still flag it as Mature should someone recommend it be labeled for their dumbass petty reasons) for Mature Content, they give you the option to flag it so it no longer appears on the dashboards or searches to anyone who does not have their Community Labels setting on to show it. What tumblr does not tell you, is that BY DEFAULT, those settings that would allow you to see that content should you wish to are automatically off, unless youâve gone in and changed them.
See, at first i thought maybe this was a good thing. It wasnât too hard to give my account permission to see the Mature Content tumblr would flag, but that was until I realized this was just another way for tumblr to censor things without making it outwardly known.
When I changed my settings, I was able to do so on the tumblr app. This was available when the Community Labels first rolled out. Then, when people started to actually change their settings, tumblr made it desktop exclusiveâor at least hard as hell because I have not been able to find those settings on the app since. Tumblr also picks and chooses what works/posts to flag and essentially hide (because again, if you donât have your settings set to show Mature Content, you are not seeing a lot of content and it will be rarely interacted with). Tumblr often goes against their community guidelines and the guidelines they set forth for what falls under âMature Contentâ, several of my works in particular that are not at all Mature have been flagged. I was given a reason by tumblr support that even though it didnât meet any of the criteria for mature content, it still needed the mature content label. No, you read that right. Mind you, Iâve tested the flagging, I created another tumblr account, wrote some dirty ass smut, flagged it from that other account, and tumblr decided that post did not meet the criteria for Mature Content even though I described c*m eating. And it gives literally anyone the power to censor your work, be it mature content or not, since Tumblr mislabels posts because they donât actually review it and they donât care. While I canât help you remove these labels, not even tumblr support will help you do that, I can show as many tumblr users as possible how to still view and interact with this content. And a little reassurance, once you have your settings changed, YOU will be able to CHOOSE whether or not YOU want to view a post that has been flagged (labeled) as mature, as youâll have the option to show it or hide it from your feed. So if you donât want to see something, you donât have to, rather than not getting a say at all. Hereâs how to fix your settings on desktop:
STEP ONE: GO TO SETTINGS
STEP TWO: Once in your settings, scroll down past âContent you seeâ
STEP THREE: Locate âCommunity labelsâ and ensure all of the bubbles under âShowâ are selected.
You see the little âHideâ selection at the bottom? Yours will be on, so turn that stupid bitch off with as much aggression as you can because itâs not only evil and hiding mature content, but a shit ton of harmless stuff as well. The amount of times I will scroll through my search and see something stupid fluffy and cute flagged as mature is RIDICULOUS.
So, yeah, fuck that and fuck tumblr for removing these settings from the app to make sure people canât access it easily and if you didnât know how to stick it to tumblr by changing your settings, now you know. Congrats and go read/look at whatever you want!
#pls change your settings#itâs literally screwing you over#and pls signal boost#adding reader tags bc most of my audience doesnât know about this feature or how to change the settings#Eddie Munson x reader#Steve Harrington x Reader#Pedro pascal x reader#multifandom#community labels

I found a different Sidestep profile with more details in the depths of my files and trough the magic of googling also traced back the source!
I've updated it to River's current stats and spruced it up a lil to share.
#fallen hero#fhr#sidestep#sidestep profile#oc tag#oc: River Becker#these stats are from my âpuppet to hgâ ending.#if River goes to Hg by himself his arrogance is even higher lmao#as well as Chens relationship being @ 90 ish#i lose a bit going into his brain and making chen tell me where the red thread is#but then i gain some again? idk what choice exactly does that but Iâll take it#most of Riverâs leadership is earned in Rebirth also#as well for the telepathy stats#and the force comes from the HB flashback#and subterfuge fromâŠ. other things i guess? i think the biggest boost is from when i use my telepathy of herald in the debut

you guys⊠we did it!!!
just wanted to thank you everyone for being a part of this blog⊠âbig things to come soonâ
#i am proud and happy about it because this blog came from my moving blogs in 2021#and on my past blog i had about 1000 followers so itâs like i finally regained that reach#which iïżœïżœm specifically excited by because this blog (contrary to my previous one) is ONLY about the witcher books with no n*tflix talk#like ik ohhh âyou are a fandom blog you have no rightsâ but it makes me happy that weâre all gathered here together for the same thing :)#i donât think fandom has to be an inherently toxic or immature space i think it can be a meaningful place of discussion and participation#the elbow-high diaries#updates#itâs kind of an interesting thing the witcher books fandom in english in the 2020s i am really very curious where it goes from here#itâs interesting to me because itâs such a specific and unique situation of media spread#itâs not like the witcher is unpopular or indieâitâs extremely popular. a mass pop culture phenomenon#at the same time the english-speaking (and in my case specifically american) fandom is primarily built around tw3 and then now n*tflix#even if the books were read and successful in the english market i mean they did not have the same kind of cultural impact#so itâs particularly of interest to me to boost visibility and yes indeedâfandomâconversation around the witcher books#and for me i like thinking through what that looks likeâ#an english-speaking (including not limited to american) fandom without anglifying or americanizing it#or at the very least *trying* to not anglify or americanize it. because some amount of it is unintentional yet necessary (i.e. translation)#but even in translation for example. the kind of translation and how itâs gone about. there is potential for cultural learning and#the most faithful translations will not make total sense so as the readers you go and look for that context and learn something#all part of a larger discussion and i kind of got lost typing these tags but this is why this milestone is special to me#it shows that people are interested in what this blog posts about and that means we have a future to explore
