Divorce 🤝 gender transition = a big costly life decision with too much paperwork that conservatives say will cause the end of civilization & ruin your life but if you actually ask people who chose to do it, they'll tell you their only regret is that they didn't do it sooner

the funniest and most tragic moment in steven universe is the scene that implies that Pearl pulls bitches like a professional dog walker but doesn't know how phones work so her place on earth is being a life-changing futch fling for every dyke on the east coast there's probably a gay bar in maryland where they talk about the twiggy bird chick that eats milf pussy like it's the last edible thing on earth and they dont even know about the city full of thousand year old neon lesbian amazons who are pent up 24/7 from The War and leaving room for jesus cause they're always hanging out with their softboy nephew who might be the second coming of christ

“Bilinguals overwhelmingly report that they feel like different people in different languages. It is often assumed that the mother tongue is the language of the true self. (…) But, if first languages are reservoirs of emotion, second languages can be rivers undammed, freeing their speakers to ride different currents.”

Maybe it's just me as a Filipino who has lived through a murderous dictatorship and oligarchies in a queerphobic country controlled by the rich who brutalize grassroots pro worker movements all under the military abuse of US imperialism but...

You just gotta keep showing up. Support each other. Don't just fight for yourself. The work is hard, but you just gotta keep doing it. You'll always see results, even if they're not always the ones you want, or as big as you want them to be.

All your work always matters. Even if it doesn't feel like it at first. It always matters.

🌹⚘️ Dear kind-hearted person 💖,

Amidst the brutal war in Gaza, I am in need of your support and compassion. 👍

I am Mohamed💕, enduring so much from this devastating war that has destroyed homes, claimed lives⚘️, and deprived many of the most basic necessities of life.😊

My family 🩶 has faced a great catastrophe due to this war, as we lost our home and loved ones. Now, my family🌷🌹, my children🙆, and I are living in extremely difficult conditions—without shelter🌷, without a source of income, struggling to secure our daily needs for food🍟, water🍺, and medicine🚑.

Things have worsened, and we are unable to provide even the most basic necessities for our children and loved ones.💕 I kindly ask you to share my story and consider donating🤲.

Can you reblog my pinned post plz? On my account 🙏🩷.

From the heart: Thank you for your support 💖🌟.

Hello my friend 💚

My name is Esraa, from Gaza, I live in a tent. I have two children, one of whom is 6 months old and needs Pampers and milk, and both of them are sold on the black market due to the war. The other is 3 years old and suffers from a skin disease and needs treatment. He suffers from malnutrition. His condition is being monitored in the American Hospital, and the dust has tired his eyes until he develops allergies in his eyes💔.

Can you donate to save them🙏🏻?

Please donate 🥺💔
