Mohja Kahf, “Most Wanted”, Hagar Poems

Some people have to understand that “land back” isn’t just “uhhh the colonizers stop being mean to the people being slaughtered by them”. Land back means land BACK. As in the land goes back to the people who lived there before it was taken from them by force. Land back is NOT “the fighting stops but the colonizers get to keep all the land”, it’s “the native people get their land back”. If you don’t support the native people of an area getting their land back, if you expect them to be happy living as a minority in their own land, or living under apartheid and peril in their own land, or not being allowed to live in their own land, then you don’t believe in land back.

Like, it’s right there in the name! The colonizers just give the land back to the people they took it from. That’s land back! So don’t say you support land back while also saying that the colonizers deserve the stolen land.

I love the implication that it's woke not because you can play a woman with a dick but because the woman's are larger.

They're just being true to the lore

like man doesn’t it fucking suck that there’s not really any public space. that you can’t go anywhere without spending money on food or transportation, that unless you wanna sit on a mall bench all day or browse library shelves you basically can’t do anything in public? even standing in front of a building without paying for something (“loitering”) is illegal. everything is built to punish homeless people which means if you ever want to sit down or rest or exist in public every building and park bench and windowsill is telling you to kill yourself instead. maybe that has something to do with the unpleasantness of online spaces, where everyone is shoved together into a giant digital chamber because it’s the only “public square” still available while also being isolated and alone in their room on their phone because everything sucks and a global pandemic is still happening. like I’m just saying I think that has more to do with how annoying people are on the internet than like mcu fanfiction

"If you dont know someone's pronouns it's ok to use they/them" was great like a decade ago but frankly considering no one on this site genders me right and when i complain they do the "uhhh idk ur pronouns" bitch they're on my fucking blog, so I'm revoking the "can use they/them for everyone" rule and if you wanna talk about people, put the work in to find their pronouns or shut up

Short Rest C3 Ep.5

Caldwell: There were people criticising Callie for, like, sexualising Sol and, like, speculating that I was uncomfortable with it.

Murph *screaming in the back*: speculated that you were uncomfortable with it!!! (??) FUCKED THROUGH A BAG. YOU HAVE HAD SEX ON THIS SHOW. THROUGH A BAAAAAG.

Caldwell: Let me just say right now. I am 35, I have a mortgage..

Murph *still screaming*: THIS IS A FROOOOOG.

Caldwell: … I own a RAV4. I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.

Jake *in the chillest voice possible*: Bro you own that RAV4? I thought you leased brother, congratulations. That’s a really sensible mid-size SUV.

Like music to my ears

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please reblog.

anyway DDOS ransom attacks suck but since people decided to uncritically spread racist and Islamophobic propaganda in the wake of a common internet attack, instead of donating more money to AO3 (which always gets all the money asked for and more) please consider donating to these organizations

The Rainbow Railroad helps LGBTQ+ people around the globe who face immediate physical danger due to the laws or policies of the countries they live in, up to and including helping people emigrate for safety. They also help with on-the-ground programs for people who they cannot help emigrate. I personally know and love someone who was helped by this organization. You can read their history here.

EATHAN is the East African Trans and Health Advocacy Network who are doing critical, on the ground work to aid, protect, and legislate for LGBTQ+ East Africans. They are active in Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. You can donate and read about what they're up against here.

and remember, please to always think critically and kindly; it is very distressing to me how many people immediately bought into infowars level conspiracy just because a fanfiction website went down for a bit.

i actually think its awesome that queer people of color have their own queer culture and style and such and we should celebrate the uniqueness of that instead of pretending gay culture is just white gay culture.

Don't sabotage your identity trying to name it. Let it be undefined, permeable, mixed, peculiar, unapologetically authentic. Be in peace with being unprecedented, with not fitting anywhere, with being adrift. Before flight, there's a free fall.
