Please take a look at this from TikTok, it’s extremely important as our US government is doing all they can to attack more children in this country. We must do everything we can to protect all American children regardless of different backgrounds.
Update: May 2nd, 2023
Wanted to also link this petition here so everyone can help save the indigenous children in about 50 days before the overturning: (link is underneath the Tiktok video)
The States that codify ICWA into their State constitution so far is:
California
Oklahoma
Washington
New Mexico
Nebraska
Minnesota
Maine
Michigan
Iowa
Montana

Safety Announcement Part 2:
Hello mutuals, followers, and strangers! Recently, Mississippi and Florida have started to want to resurface Jim Crow, with Mississippi wanting to pass that awful law and Florida's governor, Ron Desantis, not wanting anybody to learn about critical race theory and banning our books of our history. Because I believe other states, especially southern ones, are going to try to reenact this law, I am giving you a safety announcement.
All African Americans and other POC ethnic groups should be very careful when going out. Have any sort of defense, alarm, or spray on you in the case of dangerous racist individuals targeting you. Do not go out at night, regardless of whether you need to go to the store, gas station, etc. Make sure the area you live in isn't racist, and if so, put defense systems in your home. If your area is too dangerous, I suggest you look at the resources I provided below, which are the best I could find, to see which state is better to move to.
I hope all of you the best.
- Al

Ppl that have a family that speaks smth other than English; do y’all use an accent when speaking English words to your parents???? Idk, whenever I’m in the middle of a Korean convo w/ em and forget a word/don’t feel like using the Korean word, I use an accent on the word.
For example, I say “Oh yea, it costs $5”, instead of saying five dollars, I say five dollar with a thick Korean accent.
Idk if it’s just me or not 🥲🥲

I woke at 4am today (28/4/23). I have been sleeping bad since like ever, and usually I wake up bc ptsd at 7am, not 4am. But now from a couple of days I do, as fucking sucks. I have double the dose of my meds that help me with sleepand other problems, and doesn't work. To make matters worse yesterday I had a trigger situation that will happen again this weekend I can't really deal well with this shit.

i hope eventually everyone realizes that becoming educated on things is a gradual process
should everyone know about lgbtqia+ issues and culture out of respect? yes. should people know about poc issues and culture out of respect? yes. should people know about issues in the disabled community and culture out of respect? yes. everyone in theory should know about all issues and lifestyles as away to be respectful and avoid being disrespectful.
but the key phrase is "in theory"
we don't come into the world knowing about issues, about all different topics, what is and isn't the right thing to say, etc. we need to learn this. i didn't know as much as i currently do about queer subjects and autism until i started actively search for information.
and that's another key thing. i "actively" searched for it
this information isn't just going to present itself to people out of the blue exactly when they should know it. most of the time people need to go digging for information about topics because often they can be quite niche pieces of information if you're not in the community.
so before you say to someone who has said something incorrect; "what's wrong with you?" "you should know this, everyone does" "you're an asshole" "you xyz-phobic", take the time to offer to educate them and provide resources for them to educate themselves.
because if you're immediately hostile to someone who doesn't know better they're going to associate whatever you're talking about with hostility and not want to educate themselves. i mean, would you if you were in that position.
that being said, if someone refuses to educate themselves or does know better and is being a bigot or actively ignorant, then yeah, all bets off the table. but personally i think giving people the benefit of the doubt first and expressing kindness even in the face of accidental ignorance will help us get to a better society faster.

hi again, im gonna link the KOSA masterpost and try and get the kosa tag to go on trending, we need more people to talk about how dangerous KOSA is and can affect all of us. If we can get the tiktok ban tag to trend, so we can with the stop kosa tag.
EDIT: IT HAS NOT BEEN PASSED YET. READ THIS TWEET.
if this bill passes (which I'm guaranteed it won't since it violates the first amendment and it has been shut down before.) it can affect queer people, palestinians, and more. you would need your ID to use socials, your parents can see what your doing online, you will NOT have any privacy if this bill ends up passing. (Which again it won't, we need to keep speaking up about it.)
also if you have an issue with me talking about this so much then just block me and move on, this is serious and should be more well known.
SPEAK UP ABOUT KOSA AND STOP INTERNET CENSORSHIP.
small edit: if this post has any misinfo then please let me know, a lot of misinformation has been going around and I don't want to spread something that is false !!

very very weird when people act like only trans & nb people have complicated relationships with gender and are the True Understanders of the violence of our deeply gendered world. beyond the fact of how troubled cis girls and women grow as they experience gender in a misogynistic world, are we supposed to act like every poc doesnt become aware at some point of just how eurocentric gender expectations are, and how dysphoric that makes you? how alienated from your own body and sex? this is just me talking from the experience of being forcibly held down and waxed at 8yrs old for being a hairy latina and constantly getting called manly at school for having a mustache and body hair. sighh i really just need white trans people to stop pretending they intrinsically have an understanding of gender so far above everyone else's

Watching two asian gay guys take down the model minority myth and a transphobic society with their small genderfluid child wasn't on my bingo but damn I'm glad that it exists

if you are a person of color and are struggling to understand or express your own gender because you do not and/or cannot conform to white beauty & gender standards you're not alone and you do not have to warp yourself to suit someone else's narrative- every culture on this planet has their own relationship with biological sex & gender and you do not have to mold yourself to suit gender roles that literally just don't exist in your cultures, or don't make sense to you
you do not have to try to change your face, hair or body to match standards that don't apply to you. you are allowed to approach gender in your own way, in whatever ways make sense to you. it's your life, your gender, your culture, your expression. you don't have to screw yourself over like that. good luck in finding the real you, you'll find them

The idea that aac fixes everything for everyone is kinda annoying. Because most nonverbal nonspeaking semiverbal people’s speech problems root further from just verbal voice.
Not understanding have right communicate. Not understanding how work. Not understanding how to say what feel or want or think. Not understanding certain words or phrases so say one thing and mean another. Many have speech or communication disorders, it’s not just the inability to speak, aac won’t fix everything for everyone.
Even if some get aac, an option to communicate, they just can’t. Sometimes no matter how much want to, just can’t.

My Punk Tips for a DIY Lifestyle:
Thrift some black fabric (or grab an old black shirt you don't care for anymore), get a white fabric marker, posca, sharpie, or paint and make a bunch of patches to sew onto your clothes.
If you're a digital artist this is your time to shine! Make stencils, posters, design clothes (there are free templates online), and if you don't own a printer libraries will let you print for cheap and sometimes free. My library card allows me to print 10 pages for free.
Reuse everything or if you don't want it anymore donate it or recycle it.
Trash is very punk. Soda can tabs for instance can make for cool jewlery. It's all about creativity.
Drug store makeup is your best friend and honestly they're sometimes better than the luxury name brand products. Or hell even make some of your own.
If you need to order something I suggest etsy. Yes, some of it's expensive but you're supporting small artists and buissnesses rather than a corportation. It's also easier to find poc, queer, and neurodivergent buissnesses and artists.
Overall punk is about being creative. Just get creative and have fun!
