Morbidly Oblique

SubhanAllah my heart is breaking for our Ummah and the oppression of my brothers and sisters in Al-Quds. May Allah protect those protecting our holiest sites and their homes and families.

Shame on you, Instagram and Twitter, for censoring and hiding these injustices by blocking these hashtags. You are complicit.

The video speaks for itself. Trapping worshippers inside their place of worship and then shooting at men, women, and children while others are being forced from their homes at gunpoint not far away is sickening. The fact that this violence is taking place in some of the holiest days of the year, at one of the holiest sites of our religion, is not a coincidence.

I doubt this will get much traction on here, but Puerto Rico’s governor has just passed Código Civil (Civil Code) that has loopholes regarding women’s and LGBT+ rights. This code was passed despite activists’ call for a veto, and was intentionally speedily passed so that public hearings would not take place

In a nutshell, women’s bodily autonomy has the potential to be restricted which can take away their right to abortions, and the discrimination bans against the LGBT+ community are able to be overridden. 

5 trans people have died violently in Puerto Rico since the beginning of 2020. 

Another thing is, Governer Garced wasn’t even elected by the people of Puerto Rico. She was the Secretary of Justice, and was put in office after Governer Rosselló resigned.

She has claimed that with the passing of this new civil code, that no rights were taken away.

In a sense, that’s correct. No rights were taken away *explicitly*. The new code is way too up to interpretation and those loopholes are the cause of the harm placed on women’s and LGBT rights.

As for people asking how they can help, the best thing that you can do is to reblog, retweet, and spread. Please just let us LGBT Puerto Ricans know that you are with us, you care for us, and you see us.

For people who want to go a little further, here is a donate link to an Puerto Rican LGBT+ organization dedicated to providing counseling, therapy, and help towards all orientations and gender identities. https://www.centrolgbttpr.org/donar/

If you want to help Puerto Rico as a whole, you should know that the many effects of Hurricane Maria are still affecting Puerto Rico’s people. This is an ongoing relief fund that has almost reached it’s goal. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/hurricane-maria-caribbean-relief-fund/

I have yet to find any organizations that focus donating money to on #BlackLivesMatter in Puerto Rico. If you happen to find one on your own time, please notify me!

Side note: Please, before donating to any of these organizations, look into them first. I have read up on their sites and deem them trustworthy, but it’s important that YOU are informed to make your own decision.

I saw this song paired with this image on 4chan once and I couldn’t stop laughing about it that afternoon

happy 10th anniversary, Adventure Time! 

words cannot express how much this show means to me, but hopefully my art can convey it at least a little bit. weird to think that SO much time has passed, but then again, i know you and i will always be back then (and so…)

The more people you love, the weaker you are. You’ll do things for them that you know you shouldn’t do. You’ll act the fool to make them happy, to keep them safe. Love no one but your children. On that front, a mother has no choice

Or how much of his life and work was shaped by his autism, like how it was his biggest asset because it allowed him to think differently, but also his biggest hurtle because of all the abuse he received in school from teachers who labeled him as a dunce and told him he was stupid because of his disability. Which he proved wrong by discovering the theory of relativity because of his autism instead of in spite of it.

EVEN THOUGH THOSE ARE THE TWO MOST RELEVANT DETAILS OF HIS LIFE THAT EXPLAIN HOW AND WHY HE DID ALMOST EVERYTHING HE DID. But nah, Im sure diversity wasn’t relevant enough to be important in this situation.

Article quote: “In 1946, Einstein, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist traveled to Lincoln University where he gave a speech in which he called racism “a disease of white people,” and added, “I do not intend to be quiet about it.” Lincoln was the first school in the United States to grant college degrees to blacks.”

Zombie Spider

The zombie spider (usually a cellar spider) is infected by an entomopathogenic fungus. The spider can, for a little while, survive while the fungus eats through its tissues. While this is happening, the spiders survive in a zombie-like state. Once dead, the fungus can spread to other nearby spiders.
