I tried to scroll past this. I really did
So I found this app called Scan Halal where you scan the bar code of your food and it tells you if its halal or not. It’s a free app too. Pass this on so others can see and worry a little less about their food/snack choices
Autumn is here, so now I can post my ghoul girls!
for anyone wondering, “useless lesbian” jokes were originally made by lesbians as a sort of self depreciating joke, based on the fact that many of us don’t recognize when girls are flirting with us due to never learning about it + due to heteronormity.
when non-lesbians (especially men) make useless lesbians jokes is. gross. especially since many of them go really far (ex. lesbians are stupid / morons / clueless / too dumb to function). it’s really just. gross to go to someone’s blog + to see a bunch of “my lesbian followers are dumb + stupid + useless” or “lesbians are morons”.
if you’re a non lesbian, it would be super sexy if you’d stop taking our jokes made about our experiences + turning them into “every lesbian is stupid + dumb + useless! please give me notes!” lmao.
all queer history on here is just US-American or maybe sometimes some UK history as well and it makes me sad that there’s so little information about other countries’ queer history on here :(
handy little guide for parents!
i wanna share with y'all a great thing that happened in my city yesterday. early in the morning, ICE tried to kidnap an undocumented man while he was leaving for work with his son in the car. this man had no warrant and no criminal record, and had lived in his home with his family for the past 14 years. these ICE agents, un-uniformed and in unmarked cars, blockaded this man’s driveway, while he and his child sat locked in their van, for 4 hours. (obviously this isn’t the good part.)
the man’s neighbors were the first to gather and confront ICE. phone calls were made, and dozens of local organizers, lawyers and activists showed up, in addition to more neighbors. they bought gas and siphoned it into the man’s car so he could keep the AC going. they passed water and food through the car windows. the city government was flooded with calls, and a few city council folks showed up in support of the man.
and ICE left.
the man’s neighbors & the activists formed a human chain around the car so the man and his son could get back into their house. and later, his whole family was escorted to a safer location.
today, that man is still with his family. his children, though undoubtedly shaken and scared (especially the son who was with him the whole time, and was so frightened he threw up at one point) still have their father. one of the neighbors said: “they picked the wrong neighborhood on the wrong day” and “I know they’ll be back, and so will we.”
I know a ton of posts get shared about doing this exact thing, but i want you to know that IT WORKS. community works. so please, above anything else, get to know your neighbors. keep an eye out for each other. don’t let people disappear. keep each other close, keep each other safe.
