Hello,❤

No one donates to me 😢 please help me to make them pls donate to me share my link.🙏💔

📍I swear I will tell you my real story.🙏❤️

🌧️💔 I am Noor, a girl from Gaza, living in extremely harsh conditions. 🏚️ We lost our home to destruction and left everything behind, and the feeling of loss fills my heart. 💔 I am married and a mother to a baby girl, Lin, who is 11 months old. 🌼

📎My husband, Yousef, has been unemployed for a long time, and we suffer from a lack of support. We are living in a fabric tent that does not protect us from the harsh winter cold, and we feel like we are living out in the open, exposed to the winds. ❄️

My baby girl, Lin, is in dire need of milk 🍼 and diapers, but we have no income to buy the basic necessities to ensure her safety. The price of diapers is 100$, and the milk is 50$, which is far beyond our means. 😔

We have been displaced several times, and each time we are forced to leave our lives and belongings behind. We feel like we are starving, and we don’t even have appropriate clothes to face the severe winter cold. 👚❄️ Every passing day, my fears about Lin’s future grow, and I am frightened that I could lose her. 😢

Please, if you can help, we are in desperate need of your support. Every donation will help save our lives and build a beautiful future for us all. 💖🙏

We cannot get through this crisis without your support. Let’s together build a new hope, and please don’t hesitate to assist us. Thank you. 💞✨

📍If you can do something, now is the time. Donate through the special support link, and let hope light up our lives again.🙏😭

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #406 )✅️

Thank you for your support and love. 💞🙏

🔸✨ Help us meet our basic needs. 🔸💖 Your donation can provide us with food and clothes that protect us from the cold. 🔸🌈 Let's make these difficult circumstances a memory that we can overcome together.💔😢

Wouldn't it be up to others to determine whether my actions are heroic or villainous?

You discover that you have control over a certain thing, as determined by spinning this wheel. We're talking full-on magical girl/superhero/supervillain/your label of choice control.

Why is the IRS like this?

I mean I know why: literally there is a lobby to keep tax law complex and the IRS under funded so you need an accountant.

People truly do not understand

How important Storm Constantine's Wraeththu books are to me

Listen, I'm having fun playing with the ultra patriotic voice, but after a couple years in blue-collar landscaping jobs, you really do need to phrase things like that.

"I'm pretty sure that fella ain't here legally."

"Well, that ain't your business Chip, it's his."

They hate being preached to. If you pull out words like 'gender wage gap' they'll tell you you're brainwashed by the far left media.

"He's one of them transgenders."

"He got freedoms too, Jimmy."

What if Krampus is a Protector of Children?

What if Krampus's birch rod is for beating parents who have hit their children?

What if Krampus's basket is for taking away the children of the cruel and unrepentant parents?

What if Krampus is chained by god to slow him down? What if those chains weaken when we are kind to children and defend the defenseless? What if Krampus's fearsome appearance is to frighten parents into learning their lesson?

What if Krampus's fur keeps children warm as he carries them somewhere safe?

What if this Krampus is real when we let him into our hearts and act accordingly?

The light of a candle loses nothing by lighting another.

My children and I deserve a minute of your time.

All I ask is that you visit my page, share my story, and write words of support to strengthen me and make me feel that we are not alone in facing the genocide and hunger we are enduring.

Be our voice to the world.

Be the light that dispels the darkness.

I would be happy if you could make a single post supporting us and encourage your friends to support us through it.

Please

the thing with transmisogyny is that it really is based in assignment (a legal structure) rather than specific traits of the body— the focus on the body is a rhetorical decoy.

I have no uterus and I have a testosterone dominant system right now, and I still occasionally get TERFs reblogging my shit. I’m sure that will be true even when I have no breasts or vagina either. Even if I don’t have any of the traits they go on about as the supposed basis of sexed based oppression, they will view me as potential recruit because of my legal assignment.

Similarly, as much as they will obsess over various physical traits that they associate with trans womanhood, the traits themselves are never the actual reason. And you can tell because they will engage in the same demeaning sexual harassment to trans women with extremely diverse bodily traits. A trans woman’s actual individual body is vulnerable to abuse but the target on her is structural, not individual.

Transmisogynists go on and on about bodies, especially areas of the body that are private or provoke common insecurities, because they are engaging in sexual harassment and/or sexual abuse.

It’s the exact same dynamic as an abusive husband talking about how “smelly” his wife’s vagina is in front of friends— the point is to publicly demean and humiliate. The more sexualized and objectifying the comment, the more she’s supposed to understand that her body is owned by him, her social circle is owned by him, her life is under his control.

That is the function of transmisogynists talking about “genital preferences” or “not wanting to be around penises” or “open wounds” or whatever the fuck. It is sexual harassment.

The harassment is a social act of flexing and flaunting their already existing structural power.

This is why if you were assigned female at birth, no matter what your body looks like, even if you are mistaken for a trans woman and experience sexual harassment on that basis, you are not going to be a fully transfeminized subject.

The harassment is to reify a material structure, it is not for its own sake.

If you’re TME you will be TME forever. The goal is not to shed this status but to structurally dismantle transmisogyny (and I’m talking literally, not symbolically) so that no one is subject to it.

We probably cannot do this within a single lifetime, but we can do work that will position the next generation in a better place when they pick up the fight. No one is a bystander in this.

why is it possible for anarchism to seemingly be congruous with both capitalism and communism?

Anarchism is the philosophy of radical critique and some people's critique is stupid

The black flag has been flown in many contexts but usually to evoke an idea of a radical "outside". In Islam the black flag has represented the Mahdi and the end of the world, at sea it has been a symbol of pirate crews who fly it to signal death both for their enemies and for themselves, Louise Michel started wearing all black and flying the black flag in the Paris commune in memory of the war dead, because she saw the absolute baseline as a need for the end to the mass slaughter.

We live in hyperindividualist capitalism, and so the black flag pairs with the red very well. Ideologically, a championing of collectivism and common struggle is a meaningful critique that slots neatly in with the core concepts of anarchism. I say all this to say that usually people just say "anarchist capitalism isn't anarchism" and that is true, but if you want to understand why capitalist "libertarians" come about as a phenomenon, it is important to understand that these people are gesturing at anarchist concepts of freedom, at least emotionally, it's just that they're only considering their own freedoms, and so their analysis is just dogshit

When you embrace this you can see that some American and European socialists who have been socially educated in a legacy of McCarthyism think of themselves as anarchists not because they have meaningful critiques of non-anarchist communism, but because the ideology of Neoliberalism, like an artificial reef in the ocean of their mind is shaping their thoughts and therefore shaping their conception of what freedom actually means. Then you talk to these people and they turn out to be liberals in their actual politics or socdems at best. There is, in other words, a failure of critique in some anticapitalist anarchists as well. It's not equal to the wrong headedness of "anarchist capitalists" but it is still there. Anarchism is the philosophy of radical critique and some people's critique is stupid

To clarify, it is a wedding ring I purchased for him because I am married to him. I am not sleeping with someone else's husband, although technically he was sleeping with me when I was technically someone else's husband (or wife-- we mostly said wife, but the person I was married to then misgendered me constantly so I feel like I should say husband in retrospect even though I call myself my current husband's wife because I'm a faggot and am allowed to do what I want)

There is the most gorgeous man sleeping next to me in bed right now, and I can see the glint of his wedding ring and fuck I just love him.

"Adult literature is about English lit professors having affairs"

I'm reading a book about three German lit professors having affairs with each other and being obsessed with a mysterious German author, and it is the funniest fucking thing I've ever read.

I'm sure out there there's some po-faced awful version of this somewhere, but honestly I am at least 50% convinced that people don't like a lot of literary fiction because they don't get jokes.

“For example, I love Grosz's work," she said, gesturing toward the Grosz drawings on the wall, "but do I really know it? His stories make me laugh, often I think Grosz drew what he did to make me laugh, sometimes I laugh to the point of hilarity, and hilarity becomes helpless mirth, but once I met an art critic who of course liked Grosz, and who nevertheless got very depressed when he attended a retrospective of his work or had to study some canvas or drawing in a professional capacity. And these bouts of depression or sadness would last for weeks. This art critic was a friend, but we'd never discussed Grosz. Once, however, I mentioned the effect Grosz had on me. At first he refused to believe me. Then he started to shake his head. Then he looked me up and down as if he'd never laid eyes on me before. I thought he'd gone mad. That was the end of our friendship. A while ago I was told that he still says I know nothing about Grosz and I have the aesthetic sense of a cow. Well, as far as I'm concerned he can say whatever he likes. Grosz makes me laugh, Grosz depresses him, but who can say they really know Grosz?

"Let's suppose," said Mrs. Bubis, "that at this very moment there's a knock on the door and my old friend the art critic comes in. He sits here on the sofa beside me, and one of you brings out an unsigned drawing and tells us it's by Grosz and you want to sell it. I look at the drawing and smile and I take out my checkbook and buy it. The art critic looks at the drawing and isn't depressed and tries to make me reconsider. He thinks it isn't a Grosz. I think it is. Which of us is right?”

Did anyone else reach a certain point in their adulthood

Where consuming children's media became like-- nigh physically painful?

I don't want to watch cartoons (except weird ones from the 30s mostly, and occasionally an anime). I want to watch Jean Genet's art film from 1952 about gay men in French prison and flowers. If you talk to me about a superhero I will scream.

This isn't like a smug superiority thing, this is a "physically I cannot stand this" thing. IDK what's wrong with me.
