Hi, everyone, I'm really hoping if any of my posts can blow up again it's this one.
Trans rights are getting worse and worse in the U. S.
Currently, several states are moving to completely ban trans healthcare for minors, limit trans healthcare for adults 26 and younger, ban public drag, place limitations on trans participation in sports, and a lot of other horrific shit.
My only other post that really blew up was about discourse, and so is this one.
I need you all to listen to me. Please.
We don't have a place for discourse right now.
Please, regardless of your stance on queer/LGBTQIA+ topics and the inter-community discourse, remember that we can't win anything divided.
That means, regardless of your view on that one controversial subset of the community, you need to work with us. That means regardless of your views on dysphoria, you need to work with us. We can't afford to get divided on the million different flavors of queer discourse running rampant through the community.
Those laws I mentioned earlier? Their endgame is to make trans existence illegal.
They will keep pushing the age for transitioning back further and further until it's basically inaccessible. They will make performative drag illegal, then all drag, and drag will include trans people in their eyes. They will keep going until we are forced to detransition and go into the closet.
This is really fucking scary and we need, above all else, to be a united community right now.
So please. Fucking please. Set aside your hot takes and discourse. We all live and die by what rights we can get in an allocishet society.
This means stand with each other. Stand with aces, with aros, with enbies, with pan people, poly people, stand with mspec gays and lesbians, stand with kinksters and furries too, because we have our differences but if we get caught up fighting each other then the people that want us all dead will take advantage of that distraction and criminalize us all.
Discourse is a fucking psyop and we need to wise up to it really, really fast.
Please boost this. And please don't argue with me on this post.
I’m also still doing mspaint commissions!! Either a custom pride doodle or a mspaint comic based on a prompt!!
Do you see that? Looks like a joke image, right? Well, it isn’t.
This happens in Venezuela. It looks like nobody knows how is our crisis, because I’ve talked with a lot of people (Americans, French, Canadian and even Mexican people) who really don’t know what is happening.
I’ll explain the imagen.
In Venezuela, we haven’t medicines, even in the hospitals. This is because a patient with hypoglycemia is being attended in this way, because the hospital don’t have dextrose for the people. This is happening in Caracas, Venezuela’s capital. But not only in Caracas, is confirmed that in Maracaibo too, and who know where too.
Another cases:
“I take prednisone for animals because I can’t found it anywhere and it helps me, isn’t logic, but our health can’t wait”
“Confirmed, I’m medic performing in so many decadency. We even’t have privates places for dextrose for decompensated diabetics and believe me I could write for hours about so many that I’ve lived in the middle of this catastrophic crisis, where personally I’ve take with me a hurted pacient behind of a 350 because we haven’t ambulances, where we haven’t gloves for protect ourselves and a lot of things like that, this is the reality…. It must be give “ORALLY” because the drink is rich in glucose (Sugar) for these pacients this imagen showes [She means the soda imagen] how is conected to a micromanager where it doesn’t looks very good… But it’s valid by an OROGASTRIC probe. As a heroic way, becase like we know “It’s incorrect”.
I even can give my own testomony. My mom is sick, and she must work everyday, I can’t help her because my leg is broken, and my brother must help his own family. She’s in pain everyday, and the money is too hard to found. If there’s money, but there’s no medicine. And, if there’s medicine, there’s no money, because all the treatments are very expensive, like everything, for our inflation on the 1600%.
Please, help us.

Feeling incredibly sick and angry about everything. I’ll go about my day and try to be normal and then it just ambushes me and honestly the only people keeping me sane rn are the Arabs who’ve voiced similar experiences and are staying the course and being vocal despite all the attempts to basically blame everything that’s wrong with this country on us
someone in the UK threw eggs at Charles and was arrested and has been banned from openly carrying eggs in public and has since been sent death threats but their statement on the matter was so fucking good
So there’s this beautiful trail in Atlanta called the South River Forest Trail. As we all know, Atlanta Georgia is renowned for their tree cover and historic forests.
Dubbed ‘cop city’ by many protesters, this will cost about $90 billion with a B to build. This will be used to further militarize Atlanta’s police leading to more incidents of police brutality in the city.
On January 18th indigenous activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran was shot and killed by the police for defending this historic forest from destruction. Their reason? “He did not comply”. Many protests have been going on in Atlanta to defend this forest.
This forest is very dear to me but I am unable to physically protest at the moment, so I am handing this off to Tumblr to spread awareness. Rebloging this may help this tragedy become part of national news instead of just an Atlanta problem.
