Gomorrah, named after an even weirder move
now i’ve heard of crowdfunding somebody’s transition, but this is getting ridiculous
Please don’t fall for this bullshit y’all. Here are some much better organizations to donate to instead:
- Mutual Aid Disaster Relief
- Redneck Revolt/the John Brown Solidarity Fund
- The International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund
- The Kurdish Red Crescent (supporting Rojava)
- Schools for Chiapas (supporting the Zapatistas)
- RIP Medical Debt
- Community Justice Exchange (bail funds)
- Radical Indigenous Mutual Aid Emergency Fund
- The Black Inmate Commissary Fund
Biden doesn’t need your fucking money. Your marginalized neighbors do. Your dollars will do so much more good invested in mutual aid
The world failed Armenia again.
The blue lands have been taken from the indigineous people by azerbaijani forces during war.
The red lands are going to be occupied by azerbaijan too after the “agreement”.
The green lands are the only ones we have left.
We lost almost 70% of our land. The indigenous people - armenians, lost 70% of their land in modern world, 2020, just to avoid SECOND genocide and extermination. People lost their homes, their culture, churches and everything they’ve built for so long.
This is a fucking joke. The international human rights organisations are a big fucking joke. A cruel one at that.
I’m mourning because the world failed my people again and let a second genocide happen.
Please share this information so more people know just how fucked up the situation in Armenia is.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has criticised the Democratic party for incompetence in a no-holds-barred, post-election interview with the New York Times, warning that if the Biden administration does not put progressives in top positions, the party would lose big in the 2022 midterm elections.
“If I lost my election, and I went out and I said: ‘This is moderates’ fault. This is because you didn’t let us have a floor vote on Medicare for all.’ And they opened the hood on my campaign, and they found that I only spent $5,000 on TV ads the week before the election?” Ocasio-Cortez said. “They would laugh. And that’s what they look like right now trying to blame the Movement for Black Lives for their loss.”
Grassroots activism that produced large turnout in Detroit, Philadelphia and Georgia was crucial to Biden’s win, and if the Democratic party fails to recognise that and incorporate the grassroots, the party disintegrates at the ballot box, Ocasio-Cortez said.
I love the fact that everyone's excited about the new SOAD songs but disregard the reason of the band's comeback.
These songs are about the current events. Azerbajianis and turks are trying to execute another Armenian genocide. Yes, this is happening right now.
Please, purchase their songs (link under their youtube videos) if you can. The proceeds will go to the Armenia fund. Artsakh needs your support right now.

If you're celebrating Biden's win, consider celebrating by donating to a bail fund, planned parenthood, or the Navajo Water project.
Your action to help the marginalized shouldnt end at presidential candidates and voting.
I’m proud of this D&D character I made from Fire Emblem Heroes sprites. Technically I made her for Pathfinder 2e but once Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything comes out it’ll actually be viable to use half-orcs as casty-blasters ‘cause they won’t be locked into +2 STR/+1 CON.
This entire article is eye-opening, even as someone who has ADHD and has read a lot about it already. There's so much more there than just the bit about the glucose-craving brain. SO. MUCH.
This might have been the bit that hit me hardest, actually:
it would be easy to misinterpret the following scenario as a standoff between two partners: Imagine that your partner asks you to pay the electric bill, and you say to yourself, “OK, I have time to do that today.” But when you sit down to do it, you keep getting distracted. The ADHD brain needs higher stimulation in order to complete this rote task with minimal payoff. Your ADHD brain says, “That task is way too boring, and I refuse to focus on it. Find something that interests me more, which offers me a bigger dopamine reward, and I’ll work with you.” It doesn’t matter that you know you should pay the bill as promised; if your brain won’t engage, it’s an ugly standoff. Perhaps, after a day of procrastination — when your partner will be home in 20 minutes and the bill is still unpaid — there may be enough of an adrenaline rush from a sense of crisis that your brain will engage and you pay the bill.
The ADHD brain and its owner are at odds with one another. It’s difficult to compel a disengaged brain to engage by force of will. In fact, much of the treatment for ADHD involves learning to psych out the brain, so that it will attend to necessary, low-stimulation tasks.
Appreciating the tug-of-war within that pits intellect against neurobiology increases compassion and acceptance for one’s hidden struggle.
I feel SEEN. OTZ
Seriously, though. Read the whole thing. It's a good one.
I suspected my ADHD and diabetes played off each other but now I guess I know the mechanism by which they do so.
After reviewing the Japanese names for some of these… wow.
Did you know the the Japanese for Docile is actually much closer to “forthright?” And the Japanese for Sassy is like “hateful of your superiors,” and for Lax is much more “carefree" or “unthinking” than “careless?” I didn’t until tonight! Wild.
Second version, maybe it needs work but maybe also it does not need work?
I might switch Skittish and Patient.
