I'm fine but this blog is retired, message me if you wanna get i

46% of eligible voters did not vote. 25.6 voted Clinton. 25.5 voted Trump.

Enough people will be talking about the low turnout as a bad thing (and it’s absolutely disgusting for many reasons) but I want to point out what a good thing it is in one specific way. So, so many people are utterly shattered that “half the country hates them.” Some people are literally killing themselves over that belief.

No. This is proof it does not.

Only a quarter of the country voted for Trump. On its own, that’s enough to drop the fear by half. Then Remember, over 2/3 of Trump’s supporters WHO ACTUALLY SHOWED UP TO VOTE FOR HIM said they do not like or agree with him, they just hate the system/Hillary more and want to drop him on it like a nuke.

Half the country does not actively hate you.

Approximately 8% does.

That’s 8% too many, that’s a loud and powerful 8% surrounded by a fuckton of apathy, and yes, apathy in the presence of hate is a form of oppression. Yes, that apathy is a terrible thing, and yes, we need to fight it. Yes, the person who sees someone trying to kill or harm you and shrugs their shoulders is morally indicted almost as harshly.

- An ID that resembles your current appearance (just get a new photo taken on a driver’s license or ANY government issued ID) - Passport photo that resembles your current appearance (From any drug store)

- Proof of legal name change (if applicable)

- A physician statement that indicates you have either completed or are in process of treatment for gender transition (the hardest part) No surgeries, no red tape, no bullshit. And when people try to harass you or puush you around because “Hahaha your ID says your x” Whip out your passport and shut them DOWN. I carry mine wherever I go and I know a lot of my friends who live in the south do so as well.  This law could VERY easily change under a Trump presidency and I haven’t been as serious about anything as I am about this. PLEASE GET A PASSPORT. Even the passport card (which is half as expensive as the book is!!!) will do. Just please if you can, get ONE ID that matches who you really are.

Holy shit.

HOLY SHIT

This is a fake. Sorry. And it’s slowing down real donations.

(Snopes says they’re reaching out for confirmation but I can tell you that I just donated to the legal fund like four hours ago (11/10/2016) and they’re not in the clear yet - they’re also accepting Paypal donations but they’re only 75% of their goal on the crowdfunding website. Lawyers are expensive, legal fees are expensive, they arrested well over a hundred people and are trying to stick them with felony charges. Bail alone is four figures. Please don’t let them disrupt NDN lives and break up NDN families and social structures with a prison sentence - not any more than they already are.) 

Like let’s be real clear: colorism benefits anyone light skinned. Racism negatively impacts Jews and always has. Racial eugenics has always targeted Jewish people. Some Jewish people have been told they are white or believe they are white or want to be white but that doesn’t mean that White supremacists or even “whiteness” truly treats Jewish people are part of the in-group. You can opt in to identifying as part of POC solidarity as a racial minority (and many don’t) but you can’t opt OUT of neonazis wanting you dead. That is the real differentiation here. There are layers to whiteness and having a white identity.

This is the first demand we must raise and do [reversal of the Versailles Treaty provisions]: that our people be set free, that these chains be burst asunder, that Germany be once again captain of her soul and master of her destinies, together with all those who want to join Germany. (Applause)

And the fulfillment of this first demand will then open up the way for all the other reforms.  And here is one thing that perhaps distinguishes us from you [Austrians] as far as our programme is concerned, although it is very much in the spirit of things: our attitude to the Jewish problem.

For us, this is not a problem you can turn a blind eye to-one to be solved by small concessions.  For us, it is a problem of whether our nation can ever recover its health, whether the Jewish spirit can ever really be eradicated.  Don’t be misled into thinking you can fight a disease without killing the carrier, without destroying the bacillus.  Don’t think you can fight racial tuberculosis without taking care to rid the nation of the carrier of that racial tuberculosis.  This Jewish contamination will not subside, this poisoning of the nation will not end, until the carrier himself, the Jew, has been banished from our midst. (Applause)
