Denmark stands up to Russia.

Denmark stands up to MAGA fascists regarding Greenland.

Be like Denmark.

Appallingly, MAGA and Putin are the same threat to our allies.

With or without American help. Europe will stop Russia.

If you’re an American federal employee and got an email saying “it’s ok to quit your job.” Do not, for the love of everything, quit your job. This is purely a scare tactic to get rid of as many people as possible without legal consequences.

Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.

The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.

What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images

It is happening again.

im so tired of the "we shouldnt criticize andrew tate fans, they're kids they don't know any better 🥺" and framing these boys as victims meanwhile those boys are being misogynistic bullies to the girls in their classes.

boys are coddled and treated like their beliefs and actions are harmless meanwhile girls' suffering is ignored. sure the boys are "just kids" but so are the girls.

imagine being a girl trying to learn in this sort of environment.

teenage boys are engaging in abusive behavior towards their girlfriends that they learned from andrew tate and your primary concern is the left doesn't coddle men and boys in this discussion about misogyny?

framing all andrew tate supporters as "young boys who don't know any better" ignores the support he has among adult men. in the UK, 26% of men aged 18-29 and 28% of men aged 30-39 agree with his opinions on women.

looking beyond andrew tate specifically, young men are more likely to feel threatened by feminism than older men. 50% of gen z men believe that feminism has gone 'too far'. there is an epidemic of misogyny among boys and young men.

Hi. I love Hades and Hades 2 as much as everyone else but we NEED to make some noise because Supergiant is refusing to sign contracts with fair pay and anti-AI clauses. And they are straight up recasting VAs to punish VAs who are striking (sag-aftra has been striking for 7 months).

We really need to make noise here because this mistreatment will continue if we don't.

I'm providing a link for the company contact page in the replies. Please send them a comment on their contact page and encourage others to do so. Maybe even leave a steam review about it, idk.

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

Also while I'm Astro Boy snowballing, how much is Astro being 'different' from Toby is just him being normal but Tenma not knowing it because he was never around enough to see what Toby was really like outside of academics-

The more I think about Astro Boy (2009) the more my brain snowballs-

BECAUSE LIKE.

Imagine this. You're a kid. A gifted kid, but always a prodigy, never a child. The robot that works under your family spends more time with you than your dad does.

Unbeknownst to you, you d/e a horrible death and then everything is seemingly fine, your dad wants to spend time with you! Maybe he actually is okay with seeing your actual self and you being a kid-

Nope. No dice. Then within the same night he basically kicks you out, says he doesn't want you, AND THEN THE GOVERNMENT CHASE YOU DOWN FOR SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW YOU HAD.

Then you get knocked down to what's effectively no man's land only to find, hey, friends! Hey, a decent dad figure! Hey, maybe things are gonna be okay-

NOPE. ROBOT GAMES. PATERNAL BETRAYAL. ALL YOUR FRIENDS HATE YOU NOW, HOWEVER BRIEFLY, BECAUSE AGAIN, OF SOMETHING NOT IN YOUR CONTROL. So, while probably not even at puberty age, you have to fight a bunch of other robots like you to the literal death, and then you get zapped by your 2nd betrayer/father figure when you refuse-

AND THEN THE GOVERNMENT POPS UP AGAIN. AND HE JUST ACCEPTS IT BECAUSE AT THIS POINT?? WHAT DOES THIS LITERAL CHILD HAVE??

AND THEN WHEN HE'S LITERALLY ABOUT TO GET SHUT OFF, SO BASICALLY KILLED, AT HIS OWN DAD'S HANDS MIND YOU, HE APOLOGISES FOR NOT BEING A BETTER TOBY?? LIKE SON NO, BABY, THIS ISN'T YOUR FAULT. YOU WENT THROUGH HELL ALL AT ONCE OVER LIKE...A WEEK AT THE MOST. YOU ARE A KID.

AND THEN HE LITERALLY SAYS 'THIS IS MY DESTINY' WHEN HE'S ONLY BEEN ALIVE LIKE 4 DAYS?? WHEN SAID 'DESTINY' BOTH TIMES INVOLVES DYING SOMEHOW???

A A A A A-

The National Parks Service have purged trans people from the website on the Stonewall National Monument

In an attempt to show what a stupid cunt he his, JD Vance has decided to take a swing at Scotland over anti-abortion buffer zones - saying that we have criminalised private prayer in the home and that the government encouraged us to report on our neighbours.

For Americans who are hearing about this law for the first time through the shit-stained filter of your witless vice president. Anti-abortion buffer zones are designed to prevent anti-choice protesters from harassing people accessing abortion services outside family planning clinics. The zone is a 200 metre boundary from the clinics.

Home owners within those 200m zones were, rightfully, advised by the government how the law would impact them. They can privately pray as much as they like, but they can’t be seen to publicly harass or intimidate anyone accessing healthcare under the guise it’s from their own house.

The only critics of this law that I’ve seen are from people who want to dictate what people do with their bodies. JD Vance has previously argued for a nationwide ban on abortion in the US, he can ruin his country all he likes (and I hope Americans oppose their government with everything they have) but he can fuck right off sticking his neck in here. Piss off, cunt.

I miss the days when I could put the news on and not always feel sick to my stomach at what I see.
