tumblr whenever the topic of butches comes up: hey it’s ok to wear makeup. i think you can be a butch and wear makeup. butchness is very strict and unrealistic and i think it should involve being feminine in some way. friendly reminder it’s ok for women not to be masculine. i lowkey think butch privilege exists but you dont have it if you wear makeup. it’s ok if you wear makeup. it’s cool you should try it. don’t wanna? think butches dont do this stuff? how regressive and not progressive of you. you are the one that’s forcing gender roles on people right now. makes you think. btw it’s okay to wear makeup. here’s another 200 posts on this topic. butches, it’s ok if you wear makeup.

I had a dream where a bunch of grey long-snouted creatures were gathered around this other creature, who was their creator, and were chanting “give us the wisdom of not knowing death” over and over again in a cheerful sing-song tone. They wanted their creator to make it so that they wouldn’t know about death/know that they will die, believing this would free them or enlighten them, or make them wiser.

Please stop making posts discouraging people from voting, especially if you don't live in the US. This isn't your fight, and you seem to think it doesn't matter who wins to you anyway. Let those of us who won't survive another Trump term deal with it. Hi. Me. Anarchist and socialist ideals are cool and all, but I won't get to be a part of them because I'll be fucking dead. This is not an exaggeration. I am 26 and I expect to be dead in 2-3 years if Trump wins. If Biden wins not only will I survive, but I will have the energy to fight his old racist ass on every awful thing he does.

Hey guess what: Trump has plans to eliminate Disability next year. He has the authority to do it by the method he is choosing.

Biden plans to expand Disability, increasing the amount you receive as well as granting ACTUAL MARRIAGE EQUALITY FOR DISABLED PEOPLE

I had to call off my engagement so that I can apply for Disability, but if Trump wins it won't even matter because Disability won't exist this time next year.

The idea that there is no difference between Trump and Biden is co-morbid with apathy for your disabled comrades. If Trump wins, I will probably lose access to my medications and be forced to work so my family can survive. The problem is that literally any job can and will kill me. I don't expect to make it halfway through 2023 if Trump wins the election. And that's just me. How many thousands or tens of thousands or more are in my situation? How many hundreds of thousands are WORSE OFF than I am?

Vote blue so there is a politician in office who we can actually fight on his bullshit. Don't stop protesting. Don't stop calling and writing. Push for the end of gerrymandering and the electoral college. But make sure your Disabled friends and loved ones are there to see the future you're trying to create.

We’re all having “hard conversations” about racism, police brutality, and #BlackLivesMatter I hope. 

You’ve probably noticed that detractors often use the same “racist talking points” in response. Here’s a researched and sourced guide to help you answer, for the times you may get stuck.

I really, really hate how awful I am in regards to keeping in contact with others. I want healthy and fulfilling relationships with my friends, but it’s very hard for me to wholly invest myself. I want to talk to you, but it’s difficult for me to muster the energy to do so sometimes. I want to hang out with you, but isolation also sounds nice right now. I’ll read your texts, but I’m not necessarily in the mood to reply at the moment. Then I feel anxious attempting to reach out when I do have the energy and I am in a good mood because I feel like I pushed you away and you dislike me now, so I usually remain isolated. I feel selfish because of it. And I feel like a bad friend.

Okay, this was fucking great. Wait for it. 🍔

khristyn, the creator of this tiktok, posted a new video about their cat around an hour ago (as of 7/30/20 11:37 am pst)

(I can't figure out how to embed it because I'm old)

but basically, the beautiful little kitten featured in this video, valkyrie, began showing multiple signs of an unknown illness, and between the costs of the visits to the emergency vet and the price of tests and medication, the financial burden is going to be too much on them

heres the gofundme that they show in the tiktok to cover the medical costs for valkyrie. please help them out if you can!

just realized my reply doesnt show up in the notes because it contains links

for anyone looking through the notes, this kitty and its owner are in a bind right now. check this out to help them!

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

So bc tumblr hates links this will be hard to pass around but theres a White House petition to save the USPS

This is significantly more important than a change.org petition bc it HAS to be acknowledged if it gets enough signatures

Please sign it and reblog!

this petition was created on July 15, 2020. the threshold for an official response is 100,000 signatures in 30 days, so this is timely as well as tangible.
