Tribute to anomalocaris

frankly, the people whose kneejerk reaction to bisan asking for a global strike form the 21st-28th is to say that it takes years to organize a general strike are really unhelpful! no one is saying otherwise, but palestine will be a smoking crater if we all wait for years to do anything - bisan is asking us to do something now. Like are we only supposed to do something if we can do it perfectly??? At some point it’s a valid critique about the work that goes into social movement, and at another point I feel like some people are just trying to absolve themselves from not putting any effort into observing a week of economic inaction.

like idk! I get it, okay! People have bills to pay that don’t magically go away for a strike, we don’t have nearly enough social infrastructure in place to support people to fully stop going to work for a week. But fuck, dude! Stop immediately responding in such a defeatist way! Cut out unnecessary purchases! Try to shop local! Put more effort into promoting Palestinian voices online! Attend a protest, call a local rep, do something!

If you’re really into hardcore music (and adjacent), 121 bands have come together to release a compilation album to benefit Palestinian children (all proceedings will be donated to MECA for Peace). The album was released on bandcamp and is called “A HOMELAND DENIED: A Compilation for Palestinian Liberation” and you can get by clicking the link.

I know how powerless it feels when you aren’t able to protest or donate money, but unity is incredibly important. All that matters is that enough people are heard.

🇵🇸How to Phone Bank for Relief in Palestine (USA)🇵🇸

If you live in the United States, you can and should call your US House Representative in favor of the Ceasefire Now resolution.

The following language is adapted from https://ceasefiretoday .com

Phone Script:

"Hello, my name is ____.

"I live at ____ [your street address].

"My phone number is ____.

"My email address is ____.

"I'm calling to ask that the Representative add their name to the Ceasefire Now resolution led by representatives Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib. [pronounced "tuh-leeb"]

"It is absolutely urgent that the Representative demand a ceasefire, and that they call on Israel to allow humanitarian assistance into Gaza."

----

If you call your US representative, you will speak to a staffer or an intern, not the representative themself.

The staffer or intern will take down your information (this is to make sure you are a constituent, meaning you live in that representative’s district. You should only call your own representative. If you don’t know who your representative is, you can visit https://www.house .gov/representatives/find-your-representative)

You only need to say is what’s in the script above. You don’t need to add to or alter the script if you don’t want to. You don’t need to convince the staffer to agree with you, and they won’t give you their opinion, because they aren’t allowed to. Be kind to them.

The actual words you use don’t matter, just the basic meaning of them. Be brief. It’s okay if you fumble or stutter.

What will happen once you hang up is that the staffer will mark down that a constituent called in favor of Ceasefire Now in Gaza and in favor of humanitarian aid.

At the end of the work day, the staffer will send a note to the representative saying how may constituents called in favor of ceasefire and aid, and how many (if any) called for additional aid to Israeli military operations. The representative uses this quantitative information to determine how much their constituents care about the issue, and what their constituents are advocating for.

Your representative will never hear your exact words. That’s ok. Calling is still an incredibly powerful action when done in mass. A representative who receives many calls advocating for a specific action is much more likely to take that action.

You can call at night or outside of working hours. That’s ok. What will happen is you will go to voicemail. The staffer will take down your information and opinion the following day (there is typically one staffer on call over the weekend who will do this).

If you leave a voicemail, make sure you leave any information about you that the voicemail message asks for. This is often your name, address, phone number, and email. This information is used to confirm that you live in the representative’s district, and so that the staffer or the representative can reply to you if need be.

Calling isn’t as scary as it sounds. It is a valuable action and a brave thing to do. Representatives take calls very seriously, and you can have a big impact by calling.

Ask your local friends and neighbors to phone bank with you. Phone banking is when many people call their representatives about the same issue. Phone banking is a very powerful action.

If you don’t want to call, you can always email, fax, or even mail a letter to your representative.

I'm sorry if you're tired of thinking about ofmd and that whole mess but goddamn... it's incredibly painful to see so many people trying to set up fundraisers to get their families out of gaza and the sudan and desperately trying to get their loved ones to safety, I've seen so many and everyday I check to see how much progress they've made, most of them still haven't hit their goal. It hurts to see people rally around a tv show and raise all this money for a billboard, and it's very frustrating to see how people have reacted to this criticism. Like bro tv shows get canceled sometimes there's more important stuff going on

Someone else said it better but to see a fundraiser for tv show renewal advertisements raise $20,000 in less than a day while it takes days/weeks/months/years/never for fundraisers for actual causes that help real people in need reach a goal of less is absolutely dystopian and shameful

Transfem butches, reblog if you agree

Actually loosing my mind over these btw. art is inherent in the soul

my favorite lines from this article about poetry from students grades 3-6

I was allergic to my carrier oils too and it was BAD, I was so confused because i went to a teach appointment and did injections with saline myself to practice, and it was fine; but as soon as I started T I was having full body allergic reactions and massive sores where I was doing my injections.

Anyway alternatives exist and now im on gel, thank GOD I have an uncle who’s on T injections (he’s cis but has a hormone imbalance) who I could ask advice.

PSA for trans people, trans mascs and fems, and enbies & intersex folks on T or E injections (or injections in general):

Your injections should AT WORST feel like a hard pinch if you hit a vein on accident. It should NOT sting the whole time, itch, be tender for more than a day, and should not cause significant bruising. (Edit!: This is the weekly injections, the monthly or longer lasting injections are sore for a while because the liquid is THICC.)

I was not told this when I started, and missed that I was allergic to my shots for the first 2 months I was on T. There is more than one type of carrier oil, and the type of T they prescribe most often is more likely to have allergic reactions (cypionate with cottonseed oil). You should not have to suffer more just to get your gender juice. You can also gain allergies over time, so if you start experiencing these symptoms, check in with your doctor!

(Another Edit: PLEASE talk to your doctor before assuming stuff, I'm just a guy on the internet trying to make sure that y'all have more info.)

Tips for less painful/irritated injections I've gotten from people (all anecdotal, again, check with your doc):

-Intramuscular injections are usually less likely to be irritated than subcutaneous ones.

-Lightly wiping down the needle you are going to inject with with some rubbing alcohol before injecting. (Make sure it dries)

-Rub VERY hard with your alcohol wipe before injecting to numb up the skin a little bit.

-Make sure to rub the vial between your hands to warm it before using the draw up needle. It makes the fluid less thick, so it’s less painful to inject.

(I'll add more if people share)

Oh my god this is ethereal

YEEAAAAHHH I’ve been looking for more WEIRD books. I need some fucked up and confusing recommendations please.

Contemporary weird fiction reading list

A chart of New Weird books and other bizarre, unsettling, and uncanny literature published in the last 30 years or so. This is a follow-up to my previous chart of classic weird fiction and another selection from my list of over 200 works of weird literature.

Bored so I made this
