Here's to hellsite solidarity!

Ko-Fi (please note that ko-fi has fees) Current funds: $377/$2000 (Updated 9/17) My partner ended up in a nightmare situation after leaving hotel he booked for 2 weeks at bc of a sexual assault from a long-term guest. Hotel refuses to refund and we have no money left at all. He is currently staying at safer hotel, but we can't extend his stay past September 6. (Edit: we moved him to a different hotel until we get housing/shelter support and need financial help extending his stay.) His phone's screen broke, and he can't access calls/finances and other important resources. All this while he is still dealing with fresh trauma and serious chronic illnesses. He can't communicate verbally rn, deals with flashbacks and other consequences of severe trauma. We are in contact with LGBT organization, but they are simple volunteers and don't have many funds themselves. Donations will cover phone repairs, transportation to a safer place, hotel stay, food and other survival needs. If anyone wants to help with extending his current hotel stay, please contact me via DM. More information in my blog (check notes for updates). Carrd: https://helpcharlie.carrd.co

An archaeologist quoted in the article says "the point of these earrings is not to showcase legitimate ancient artistry, it is to fetishize the past, to be a commodity, stolen from the elite, circulated illegally, and immorally…this is about class signalling."

[ID. An additional quote from the article that says, “The practice of taking jewellery and other artefacts, especially those associated with the royal courts of great empires of the past, the Mughals, the Safavids, and others, and then allowing actors and celebrities to adorn them sends a clear message: not only will we not return what we took from you, because we consider ourselves more worthy custodians, but we also continue to occupy the symbolic position of monarchs and rulers over the lands from which these artefacts were removed,” he explained. End ID.]

Today, I watched baby Qais stare silently at other children playing nearby. He tried to stand and follow them, but pain forced him back to the ground. He lowered his head, and I watched my child's smile disappear.

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

Also, throw out the mask every day and shower before you get in bed if you’ve been out or you’ll be breathing the particles all night. Stuff like that. It gets all over you, your skin, your hair, your clothes.

It's a large smoke plume, so stay safe, folks. Look up how to make a "Corsi-Rosenthal Box" if you need an air purifier inside.

funny seeing the google ai go on full defense for white people over the word honky while the wiki article it's sourcing is just like "yeah its some insult". they're injecting their own #alllivesmatter weights into the bot

first Star Trek hot rock incident, I’m pretty sure

It's difficult to articulate my feelings on this, but I do increasingly feel that the insistence upon there being a correct form of disliking something that precludes the possibility of making anyone feel insecure or hurt because they like it is significantly more stultifying than an atmosphere where people can shoot off "Fuck this" and be blocked or ignored for it
