I think it's important to remember, as a rule of thumb, if you take advantage of a social service, it actually makes it easier for other people who need that service to access it. Most of the time, when these services get cut, it's because politicians will look at usage and say "see, no one is really using this thing, we can afford to trim the budget for food stamps by at least half". Whereas if you decide to step up and use these programs, even if you feel like you "don't really need it", at bare minimum it's another data point advocates can use to say "hey, look, people are using this thing, this is an important service we are providing, do not cut our funding".
When I was a very suicidal trans activist in Texas, Benjamin Sisko saying “sure, you would [die for your people]. Dying gets you off the hook. The question is: are you willing to live for your people?” changed and possibly saved my life. It’s up there with “if we are going to be damned, let us be damned for who we really are” from Picard. Star Trek not only shows us a better world, it teaches us how to make it there
how to draw arms ? ?
sometimes i need to remind myself that i’m writing fanfiction for free and i’m allowed to have a shitty sentence or two
Hello, this is a longshot saving life call, I am Verian from Gaza. I am here to request for your support to help get my insulin, just an injection for today to save my life please I beg. I was diagnosed with Latent Autoimmune Diabetes and due to the current situation in Gaza I'm unable to get my insulin injection as a result I'm here begging for little financial support to help me purchase insulin for this week. My donation link is attached in the pinned post, I might have sent this ask to you earlier but kindly consider donating and sharing. This is the only option I have at the moment to save my life from going into a coma.

Hello, it’s 100night! Please read this before saving~
I’ve decided to share the fake twst screenshot templates I made with the world. Here they are as transparent pngs! So far I have made: (1) Episode title (2) Location (3) Character dialogue (4) Player dialogue with 2 options (5) Player dialogue with 1 option (6) SSR get (7) Groovy text
I know I’m giving y’all a lot of power, so use it well…ufufu.
For anyone curious, I made these by editing and lining up the assets uploaded by (my hero!!) @alchemivich over game screenshots.
Credit to me is not necessary when you use these, but PLEASE DON’T REPOST the blank templates – if you would like to share them with others, please REBLOG or SHARE THE LINK to this post!
Let me know if tumblr eats the quality of the images. If it does I’ll be happy to upload these to Google Drive!
Example of template use with twst incorrect quotes (you can find more on my tumblr):
I also have a fake homescreen template, but it’s incomplete because I don’t have all the assets. You can see what it looks like in use with a fake screenshot I made with my OC Arisa – it’s on my blog but tumblr won’t let me into the tags if I put a link to it. Parts of it are faked. ^^;;
By the way, thank you so much for all the love for Arisa! <3 I’m currently working on another sprite edit for another twst OC, so look forward to it!
If anyone would like a tutorial on how I make fake screencaps or has any other questions or requests, my inbox is open! Have fun!!
Reblog if you would be comfortable living in a dormitory with an openly transgender or intersex individual. We’re working on a campaign for gender neutral housing and we could use your support.

Grian going "this is not what i wanted!" after scar died is just tragic
He wanted to be the one to kill him so bad and in the life serie that's basically one of the two way to say "i love you"
And yet a snail did it first
