DAMN This Shit Is GOOD

The situation is catastrophic now in Gaza after the heavy rain and winds this week. Did you know that families in Gaza are sheltered only by some pieces of nylon and that the cold is very severe? My family is suffering from severe cold.

There is no shelter to protect them from the bitter cold. Their help will save my family’s lives from starvation and may help them flee Gaza soon after the crossings are opened soon.

I know that most of you are desperate and bored of constantly asking us for help. But how many times do you see the world and governments that did not look at us with mercy?

Only people with compassionate hearts like you help and sympathize with the afflicted.

Your continued support saves the lives of all my families. Support link here

FALASTIN NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Hello everyone, Falastin has asked me to make a post for her.

Falastin has been trying to raise funds for her 26 family members for over 6 months but hasn't been able to reach her goal. Her family is trapped in Gaza, one of them has been injured by shrapnel from an explosion. These are people who are desperate for just a little bit of relief.

FALASTIN IS VETTED BY 90-GHOST, El-SHAB-HUSSEIN (#282), AND THE BUTTERFLY PROJECT (957). YOU CAN DONATE TO HER CAMPAIGN HERE.

As of right now, Falastin has raised kr196,548 SEK out of her goal of kr1,000,000 SEK. kr54.66 SEK = $5, kr109.32 SEK = $10. Sharing this fundraiser and donating, no matter the amount, will help Falastin reach her goal and work to keep her family safe. Can you share this post, and donate a bit to save lives?

Y’know what “you can’t make this show today because of woke” is out, I wanna hear about shows that actually cannot be made anymore

Like the technology to do the sfx/music/costumes doesn’t exist anymore

The show was produced by a union that disbanded

The show abused so many labor laws that making it now would be illegal

The locations the show was shot in no longer exist (war, countries dissolving, natural disasters, etc)

Like I wanna know the shit that genuinely physically could not be made today

Americans, I know we're going through it, but why do I keep seeing stuff like "I'm sorry world, we'll fix this in 4 years"? But like... what do you mean "4 years"?

We have midterm in 2026, yearly local elections, special elections, primaries, etc.

We have the right (dare I say responsibility) to contact our representatives and the right to organize and protest if/when they don't listen.

We need to find a meaningful way to educate people about propaganda and media literacy. We need to convince people to be willing to educate themselves. The habit of only checking in to politics on presidential election years needs broken.

I understand how defeating today feels, but we, especially those of us who could conceivably make it through these four years unscathed, need to stop this proactive surrender.

products are so bad now that i have to do approximately 8 hours of research before i buy anything

You do not need your Twitter.

Twitter is not the boost you think it is anymore.

I have seen at least 6 people I follow on BlueSky saying they have looked into their numbers and compared to Twitter? BSky gives them over double the exposure and follow through for outside links (probably because Twitter kills your tweet if you have links).

Twitter is testing a feature to allow other users to click a button attached to your posts to put your art into their Grok ai and make ai art with it without your permission automatically.

It is marking non-ai art as being made with Grok (probably to promote it).

You do not need Twitter.

Twitter needs you.

Starve the fuckin thing.

No because let’s talk about the fact the TERFs don’t want you to heal. Because if you heal then you won’t be the perfect little victim for them to leverage against trans women and the ~dangerous dangerous men~

Let’s talk ab the fact that TERFs only see AMAB on AFAB SA as real SA and when you try to change that dynamic at all (COCSA, Queer SA, etc.) all their arguments go out the window

Let’s talk about the fact that they don’t even care about the general wellbeing of women and only focus on keeping women hurt and scared for what? What do they get at the end of this fear mongering? It’s like cartoon villains who want to “destroy the world” and don’t have a plan for what to do after

TERFs want you misrebile, they want you hurt, they want to use you and your trauma as chess pieces to a “greater end” that doesn’t even exist

Most effective way to combat them is to have joy and heal. To live a good life. To not get sucked in the fear and misery because in the end it leads to nothing. Stay Trans, Stay Happy, Stay Safe

Everyone told me testosterone would make me angrier. My family has a habit of attributing any anger I feel these days to the testosterone. I didn't feel any angrier, but my mother would still tell me that no, I am angrier now, and testosterone did make me angrier and *she* could tell.

A week or two ago, I got my proof to the contrary. I'd been having a difficult day, woke up late, and had to rush out the door, ran into minor inconvenience after minor inconvenience, and then the straw broke the camel's back.

I wrote out the kind of angry vindictive seething text message I used to write constantly. I didn't send it, of course, I copied it out and pasted it in the folder of my notes where I put all my rage venting.

And then I thought.

Huh, it's been a little while since I did that. And I checked the time and dates on my previous notes. The last one was a few days before I started testosterone.

And scrolling back, I noticed that they were *constant* at least one a week for *years* I used to get so angry that I would get the serious urge to say cruel hurtful things to or about people I cared about on a near-daily basis. I didn't realize how big of a problem it was until all of a sudden I hadn't gotten that angry in Eleven Months. Nearly a YEAR.

And then I realized in my rush to get out the door in the morning, I hadn't taken my T shot. My testosterone was the lowest it's been since August.

All of a sudden, I had demonstrable proof that testosterone really did make me less angry. That all that "you may not think you're any angrier but you are" was bullshit.

I feel like I should be angrier about this than I am. I know how angry I used to get. About everything. I just felt it again for the first time in a while. For once, it would feel justified to be that angry. But I'm not. I'm not mad. I'm just... disappointed, I guess.
