Hey, PSA for younger/newer transmascs:
Tumblr has been showing targeted ads for "FTM binders" off Amazon. They look like this:
Do not buy these.
A binder is a piece of medical equipment. If you use one incorrectly, or use a poorly made one, you can really fuck up your ribs. This article from the Cleveland Clinic talks about how to bind safely.
A $14 binder is guaranteed not to be safe. There's a reason reputable companies charge more- sometimes a lot more. They have to carefully design binders so they don't crush your ribs or make you sick.
You know how everyone says Don't Bind With Duct Tape? Don't bind with Amazon binders.

i have one month left before i am kicked out of my house, and i need help to avoid homelessness
hey yall! its me again. if you havent seen these posts before (unlikely, theyve been circulating pretty well) im delilah, and im a queer autistic plural tgirl currently living in an abusive household in texas. on june 1st 2024, i will be kicked out, and i need to be able to get a place before that so that i can avoid homelessness. my previous goal was 2000, and we hit that! but after applying for. a lot of apartments. we have been rejected from a good few of the cheap options and im going to need a bit more money to make sure i can survive the moving out process. i know youve probably seen these posts a lot, but we're reaching the final stretch, and hopefully soon i wont have to worry about this anymore.
we're going to try to get around 3000, but maybe, hopefully, we can make around 3500 to absolutely make sure moving out is possible. thank you to everyone that has donated (ESPECIALLY PUNKITT AND THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONATED LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, I GENUINELY LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH YOU ARE THE KINDEST PEOPLE ON THIS WORLD)
2106/3500

had someone say to me the other day “is being gay your whole personality?” and i wanted to reply:
no, being gay isnt my whole personality, you just reduce queer people down to their labels and body parts and cant see past that. our differences stand out too you as weird and inherently sexualized when yall are the ones sexualizing us. our existence as queer people doesnt mean we dont have a personality, you are just homophobic.

In order for me to write poetry
That isn't political
I must listen to the birds
And in order to hear the birds
The warplanes must be silent

PSA to ableds
If the door has a wheelchair button do not open the door for us.
Do not try to press the button.
Deffently do not try and hold the door open for us.
If there is a working button you trying to help is only going to make things harder for us.
Most wheelchair users can operate manual doors on our own as well and depending on the door it still may be harder for us if you open it.
As always when you want to help a wheelchair user here are some points
Did they ask you for help?->help them if you can!
Do they look like they are struggling with something?->Ask them if they would like aid. Respect whatever answer they give you. If they say yes, they'd like help, listen to their instructions, then only help with what they said.
Did a wheelchair user simply pass you on the street?->leave them alone they are just trying to walk somewhere just like you are
Are you in a car and you see someone in a wheelchair?-> do not pull over to check on them, offer them a ride, etc. It's creepy as hell man
Does the person appear to be in a medical emergency?-> if they are responsive listen to whatever they say, if they aren't call the appropriate emergency number. Do NOT assume we are in a medical emergency by performing normal tasks even if they are medical. Wheelchair users have higher level of medical issues than gen pop.
Never touch someone's chair without their permission.
Don't press wheelchair buttons with your feet
Don't keep pressuring a wheelchair user if you don't like the answer they gave you
Most of us know how to fix our chairs and they are an extension of our bodies so don't be surprised if a wheelchair user doesn't want help fixing their chair. It is not the same as a flat tire on a car.
Never move someone's chair without their explicit permission. This applies weather or not the user is in the chair.
Wheelchair parking, seating, spots, etc. Are not your priority seating or parking. We need the extra space, the safe spot on the bus, etc. it is a matter of our saftey don't you dare prioritise your comfort/ease for our saftey.
Wheelchair users may add/comment/discuss
Ableds encouraged to reblog but do not clown

"Today marks one year since the death of the People’s Bubbie Shatzi Weisberger. Before she passed, she said, “I’ll fight like hell for a free Palestine until the day I die. Then I’ll keep fighting. Your queer ancestor is with you.”
If you’ve been rising up in solidarity with Palestine these past two months, your queer ancestor is indeed with you, along with countless other antizionist Jewish ancestors. For many, family and community rifts may be especially painful right now. No matter what, you are not alone. Remember that you have a long lineage of elders and ancestors at your back.
Last night, Israel resumed its brutal bombing of Gaza and has already killed dozens of people. Shatzi would encourage all of us to do everything we can right now for a permanent, lasting ceasefire. To mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living.
Shatzi died on World AIDS Day, which was b’sheret ("destined”) because in addition to being a lifelong organizer, she was a nurse for 47 years who cared for people living and dying with AIDS.
From ACT UP’s organizing to end AIDS to the movement for Palestinian freedom, we honor the ancestors and movements who made us possible."
We will be forever grateful to the ancestors who paved the path before us. May their memories fuel us to work towards freedom for all people — no exceptions."

With all the eyes on American Samoa after Jason Palmer won the primary, it is a good time to remind people of what the island is according to U.S. law.
American Samoa is not considered a state. It is considered an "unincorporated territory". These territories are subject to some of the Constitution, but not subject to other parts. They pay tax dollars can't vote.
In other words.
American Samoa is a colony. A colony in the same way that the 13 states were when under the control of Britain, subject to taxation without representation.
These territories were seized from their native people. They were not given a choice. They must be given a choice now, between full statehood or full independence. Not this imperialist in-between. Power of the People supports self-determination for U.S. colonies.
Learn more about the history of U.S. colonies here.

I had no idea these even existed but I guess it makes sense, that a bird would see the pattern and recognize the glass as a solid object.
