Has anything actually gotten better, for all the work you talk about doing? Or is it just treading water in misery forever?
Anon, ten years ago gay people couldn't get married in large parts of the US. AIDS was an almost certain death sentence when I was in high school. I was looking at job boards the other day and found a part time gas station job that had health insurance as a benefit, which NEVER would have happened 15 years ago. When I was a kid, hitting your child was extremely normalized in the US and my parents were the weird ones for not doing it. There is a vaccine for chicken pox. I didn't meet anyone who had transitioned until my 20s because it was so uncommon to transition in the aughts, and now there are some states that protect your right to have gender affirming care provided by your health insurance. It's not all states, but it's better than the number of states that had it in 2010, which was zero. THERE ARE TENANTS UNIONS NOW. WE HAVE A VACCINE AGAINST CERVICAL CANCER.
And all of that has been the work of a lot of individuals and organizations and research teams and activists.
apologies for beatin a dead horse but i just felt like expanding onto the tidbit about the grazing goats n’ sheep as there are a handful of fleets of those herds out munching on and on the populous biomass like land rovers with tailored diets, nor just damaging grass, sheep clear out spaces for the sake of basically, land control for wildfires
by consuming more summer desiccated species, low layers, getting eye level with the hangin branches, without the goats there all these invasions are j gettin ready to lay out the red carpet hollerin for the next one
just last spring a whole herd of em did enough firefighting in the parks of bosques de chacay to prevent smokin spreads all out there, a whole ecosystem, pero, salvado, afortunadamente, gracias unas cabritas
so when all these shepherds within parts of southwestern europe and of course, ever drougt ridden brushlands of the western u.s are relied for the helping hooves their herds to make a suitable income, flaying usage of nastier removals, come out here from there usual means cause fingers pointed at whats better whats not, where to go, what to do, from the people out here barkin up knots over postured pasture
not being allowed to be, checks notes, ah righ’ smothered to death by the weight of their wool, knowin darn well once the cameras are off, many of the folks clamoring about, same animals they so desperately wanna see reach safety are served way worse plights n’ locked up n’ pens in the middle o’nowhere
enough bout that though, all should pickle a cute goat infomercial in their brains.
I'm still sick and my internet connection here is too bad for me to connect to my Minecraft server, so following my curiosity from the weird scam dog rescue, I have been going through animal-related tags on Instagram and finding a million of "farmed animal sanctuaries"
From one point of view, it's cool that there are places where animals that fall upon bad luck can be sold to have their health needs paid for and live out the rest of their lives.
But from the other point of view, it's infuriating that annoying rich people have started buying land, farm equipment, and animals so they can create a """farm""" that doesn't provide for their needs or any other person's needs, and post pictures of it to Instagram with captions about how cruel farming is and how evil it is to profit off of animals.
These folks buy animals at livestock auctions that require thousands of dollars to pay for their vet expenses, all the while ranting about how evil farmers are for selling the animals
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
But today I was surprised. Go Fund Me deleted my account permanently.All donations will be returned to their owners. I was shocked and became severely depressed. After three months of suffering with you, my friends, GoFundMe deleted my account permanently.
I hope you, my dear friends, will help me spread what happened to me.
Please everyone help me spread my campaign and my new PayPal account. I hope everyone From everyone, help me as much as you can. You can donate to my PayPal account now and share it quickly. Please help as much as you can now. We now need every share and donation for my children.

[ID: A nine-page digital comic featuring Jimmy and Curly from Mouthwashing. They're out of uniform, wearing casual clothes. The comic is done in sepia tones, with the only colors being the blue of Curly's eyes and the green of Jimmy's speech bubbles. There are also four featureless people representing their other friends.
The group of friends are gathered while Jimmy sits away from them.
Friend 1: He doesn't like sweets.... Friend 2: So what should we do for a cake then? Jimmy, attempting to light a cigarette: Why don't we just make it out of his fuckin' whey protein powder? You know Curly just LOVES that chalky crap. Friends pause, staring at him, before getting excited: (all caps) That's a great idea, Jimmy!
Jimmy then chokes on his cigarette and looks around at them all, momentarily shocked.
Friends: That's so smart! It'll be SO funny! He'll LOVE that! Jimmy, holding his limp cigarette and smiling smugly: heheh. guess I am pretty clever.
There is then a montage of him baking the cake with the whey powder, including him absently dropping cigarette ash into the batter with an "oops". Then they all wait in the dark, party decorations up with a shadow cast under the room's door.
Friends: Shh!! He's coming! Jimmy: (all caps) Shut the fuck up!! Curly, opening the door: Hullo? Friends: SURPRISE!
Curly flinches and yelps before he takes in the scene and smiles. Jimmy is holding the warped cake and smiling and everyone is wearing party hats and laughing.
Friends: Happy birthday Curly!
Two of them go up to Curly, putting a hat on him and patting his back.
Friend: Hope you like the cake!
Curly goes to cut the cake with everyone watching. He is smiling, while Jimmy stands next to him, staring blankly. As soon as the knife hits, the cake collapses in a poof of powder with a long fart noise. Curly's eyes bulge and Jimmy's eyes widen before they both burst out laughing, Curly pushing the cake away as he leans over the table, wheezing, while Jimmy throws his head back to cackle.
Curly, looking up at him: (all caps) What kind of cake is this?! Jimmy, holding up an "ok" hand: Choco-caramel whey, budd-o.
Curly wheezes, tears in his eyes. He then passes out cake and speaks indistinctly before sitting down.
Curly, smiling at Jimmy: -- sounds pretty brilliant, yeah?
Jimmy looks at him sideways, anticipating, as Curly raises his fork to his mouth. He keeps leaning closer as a shadow forms over his face. Curly takes a bite, smiling. Pauses for a moment. And then releases a huge cloud of whey powder, at which Jimmy starts cackling again.

every time i think about that cursed whey powder cake from curly's fondest memories, i just imagine a re-enactment of the cinnamon challenge but with whey protein powder.
so here's a NINE PAGE COMIC leading up to that <3
sit your family down, your friends, entice strangers : into learning about palestinian cuisine, do not tell them the name, the things you eat, you make them taste it and if they like it, explain how hard ingredients for mustering these meals up for has become, do they want to taste it again?
they cannot, because we lose the grains, the cheeses, the fruits and meats, everything that they do.
without anger and sadness, there is apathy, negligence for a culture that cannot give, and will be unable to give while this genocide proceeds a moment longer, we are able to make meals, while others mouse on crumbs.
adore how fascinated the masses are of lighting this procedure, i am amongst the masses here awed by humankinds idea of repairing living creatures, it always come to us, testin the limitations of what can fly back into the midst of the atmosphere is just one astoundin factor whether we’re fidgeging with a butterfly wing or a bird’s test peoples workin materials
living to dead, inanimate redeemed what gifts are given getting passed down, not wasted to these birds carrying on
it all takes time, shows how much more delicate these creatures anatomic arms are, though the bones themselves are not bein focused on here, the mending processes are not always so light even in regards to feathers, it is a relief many now have access to lighter materials as to not weigh down the birds flighty takeoffs
while slightly outdated from comin out of the high middle ages, frederick II’s “the art of falconry” ❨orig: de arte venandi cum avibus❩ is one interesting long read for anyone looking to gain more insight into how falconry care was handled within a span of roman times, hell, this the man took over thirty years to complete the work, dedication of eons from a falconer for such observations shared
