Acab because the people that made this meme thinks the cops should just kill someone like this

Cops having a chuckle because they’re too cowardly to take a beating in order to save a life. All cops are cowards.

I can’t stress this enough, the people agreeing with this meme think having a psychotic break should carry a death sentence.

So cops wanna be able to kill people but don’t want to risk their life to help people?

My name is HAMDI AHMED, and I'm a disabled queer Latine. Tragically, my family's evacuation plans from Gaza were thwarted by the loss of my father, our breadwinner, during the genocide. Recently, my mother fell victim to an airstrike in Deir Al-Balah, leaving me without a home. With no income and relying on the kindness of friends, I urgently need to evacuate to Egypt for safety. Any donation, no matter how small, would make a world of difference. Thank you for your support.

okay. NO.

let's cut to the chase, shall we?

this is fake.

i know it's fake.

even ignoring the fact that another random ass ask was put in my inbox and the shady as fuck *lack of detail* for the donation platform, *paypal* has a fucking ban on palestinians.

y'all, be careful out there. if you get a random ass ask with a copy pasted sob story claiming to be a person *in* palestine, from a blog asking for 'donations', and the only link on their page is to a nondescript *paypal*?

paypal still has palestinians *banned*.

on the off chance someone finds a loophole to use paypal or claims to be outside of palestine and raising funds for family, double check everything.

double check the platform, make sure the 'gofundme' isn't fake, double check the *detail* on the donation platform itself. if there is nothing, literally *nothing* besides a name?

the likely answer is that it's a scam and they're showing you a loophole to avoid being accused of *fraud*.

do what you gotta do, and keep on.

scammers? you should be fucking ashamed of yourselves. there are people dying, experiencing the full brunt of the worst possible situation anyone could face. people are losing their LIVES, their FAMILIES, seeing horrors no person should ever have to live with, but you're taking the opportunity to make a *profit*, to be a *thief* from this tragedy.

whatever your circumstance, whatever your desperation, that is a sick, twisted, greedy, inhuman thing to do and it is completely inexcusable.

I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.

Trans women are intentionally misgendered, threatened and called pedophiles, and are the targets of callout/vague posts every single week in here. It's not "just staff and terfs"

Since February 19th: Tumblr's CEO, photomatt, made a statement about predstrogen's (unfair) termination, misgendering her and threatening to call the FBI on her (archived screenshots). Then, on February 20th: he continued to harass Rita on Twitter

Following this, multiple other trans women were terminated due to their criticism of staff's and photomatt's handling of this situation, like: milf-adjacent, catgirldick, nebulaaaaaa, jammerjenny, yaoivriskaforever, 8millionsystem, trans-kitty-meow, mozzarella-firefox, rulerofpurple, gay-satan-3, catgirlpunishedshaft

On February 21st: dykemacabre accused Kara (a member of Cohost's staff) of being a pedophillic furry and a lolicon, blaming her for allowing "cub porn" on the platform, which was a lie; the site doesn't allow that, and the post was quickly proven to be intentionally misleading. After being caught, dykemacabre apologized for part of the post, but doubled down, later deactivating

On February 27th: ardourie (formerly known as neotrances, well-known transmisogynist) began harassing enemy-viv over a post about Aaron Bushnell's online identity (like his username and use of pronouns on YouTube/Reddit/Discord,) which lead to people accusing Viv of "transvestigating" Aaron's online presence (while misusing that word) and spreading lies about Viv. She deactivated due to the harassment and has stated that she won't come back

On March 8th: roadhogsbigbelly (who accused txttletale [January 10th] and Gretchen Felker-Martin [February 1st] of being pedophiles) doubled down several times while arguing with different people about "not misgendering" a trans girl (after vagueing her), while misgendering her multiple times

This happens every week

Almost every single week there is a new callout, a new harassment campaign, new anons spreading rumours/misinformation, and more people comfortably vagueing and misgendering trans women

It's not just staff and terfs

On March 25-30th: a Best Piece of Queer Media poll about Homestuck and Dykes to Watch Out For is made, and a lot of people vote for Homestuck , which leads to death threats being posted in the tags and comments of the poll, directed at Homestuck, its fans and Andrew Hussie

Following this, ardourie (Yes. ardourie again) began harassing plaidos (who had also spoken up about the death threats sent over the Best Piece of Queer Media poll, as seen above), over a Homestuck workshop she was organizing, where they were discussing the racism in Homestuck (not a "racist workshop"). plaidos also spoke about how ardourie and his friends/followers have been harassing her despite her having blocked them

I hope I don't have to keep updating this list.

‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

Children in Gaza can tell an F-16 from an F-35 from a drone. They know a whole litany of things that are beyond their years. Things that they shouldn’t have to know. Over 10,000 children have been killed in Gaza. The children who have survived have seen their families, friends and neighbors killed by the Israeli army. They have seen near-death by starvation and death by suffocation, under the rubble and by explosion. Children in Gaza do not have the luxury of death being a mystery. It is a daily presence. If a child in Gaza is hungry, they know not to throw a tantrum. They have become used to feeling hunger. The same is true of the cold. Every child in Gaza now knows what it is to be unhoused, to sleep in a tent or on the streets in winter.

white gays need to read up on pinkwashing and homonationalism before ever even thinking about opening their mouths talking about homophobia/transphobia in the global south

why are you so obsessed with a country's laws regarding lgbt people when you will never visit it and only ever invoke its name as a way to a) uplift your own (homophobic & transphobic but western imperialist) country, or b) make it seem more backwards/"barbaric" vis-a-vis your own (again, also homophobic & transphobic) country.

not to mention the millions of tasteless "i'd be illegal there" quips, because the only way to care is to relate it back to yourself instead of extending support and empathy to fellow lgbt people who actually live there. and then the cherry on top being the withholding or withdrawal of support purely because of this perceived homo-/transphobia that is more hearsay and fearmongering than rooted in truth.

lest we forget, western imperialist powers are the main reason so many of these "backwards" countries have lgbtphobic laws in the first place.

My previous place of employment had a queer EIG that protested our project in Saudi Arabia because of their homophobic laws and did nothing about the fact that they were routinely requiring people to travel to Texas and Florida

I think about that a lot

full offense if you're going to tag this with "compassion fatigue" and "long post" i'd rather you didn't reblog and instead go play in traffic, thanks

I blocked them before I could screenshot, but I just got a reply from a TERF essentially saying "well you saying gender is how we should define woman instead of sex is like saying race is socially constructed and what determines who is black is only social and not biological"

Like worstie I have some news for you on this history of race and blackness in particular.
