Iām reposting this with a link to some sources from the OP, btw; Iām sorry for not tagging them, but Tumblr wonāt let me and Iām guessing itās a privacy settings thing.

There is evidence of complex gender identities in Ancient Mesopotamia, particularly in the cult of the goddess Inanna and her priests.
Organizations you shouldn't give any of your money to ever again, btw.
The number for the congressional switchboard is (202) 224-3121 (consider saving it as a contact in your phone).
All you have to know is the name of your rep or senator. ONLY call your own senators or rep.
Be polite to the staff you talk to. Tell them youāre a constituent of the senator or rep who youāre calling. They may (or may not) ask for your name and contact info. Ask politely that the senator or rep oppose KOSA because <insert reason here>. Thank them for their time.
Good reasons to oppose KOSA:
It would allow government censorship of the internet.
It could stop young people or people who value their privacy from accessing information or find help for important things like: addiction, eating disorders, physical or emotional abuse, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, abortion, basically anything that could be deemed āharmful for young people.ā
Even with the new changes, the bill would still make it possible for conservatives to take down online LGBTQ content.
Use reasons that would be compelling for your representative or senator: KOSA threatens access to information about abortion if your senators or rep is Democratic, KOSA threatens free speech that is protected by the First Amendment, and is big government overreach that could get information about guns taken down from the internet for Republican reps or senators.
KOSA is a censorship bill that wonāt make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a fr
Palestinians are still alive! Not all hope is lost despite the brutality that already has happened and we cannot in any circumstance allow it to continue! We have to keep fighting!
The Israeli and Western media want you to feel helpless. Even as more "liberal" news sources like the New York Times begin to realize that they cannot wholly convince us that Israel is right, they cherry-pick their stories to manipulate consumers and make us feel removed from the brutality Palestinians are still being subjected to every day. They want us to feel like we have no power. They want us to think that this is over, and there is nothing more we can do. It is not over! We still have power and we need to use it!
I don't care if you are on the scene providing aid, you are donating from across the world, or you just wake up every morning and pray that the Palestinian people have seen another day. But you have to keep doing it. Israel is trying to wipe Palestine off the map, and we cannot fucking let them.
DO NOT GIVE UP! FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!

funny how predstrogen got full-nuked right as a lot of discussions about transmisogyny started getting widespread. trans women start talking about our hurt and it gets us removed from our spaces. goddamn incredible.
fuck me dude I try not to step DIRECTLY into like, active high-intensity convos on tumblr but this is getting egregious. Fuck this website, fuck staff, fuck Tumblr. Fuck alphabett or whatever the fuck piece of shit company owns this garbage fire website. Tumblr hates trans women. It doesn't even pretend not to, it just lies to your face while it beats us down.
Predstrogen was following the rules. And even if she wasn't, there's a thousand thousand porn bots breaking them worse. My girlfriend literally just showed me a bot post with tits out tagged "finn the human" with no community label. But the trans sex worker has to go. Sure. Queerest website on the internet my crusty asshole.
the fact that they erased her fucking TRANSITION TIMELINE as explicit. She's fully fucking clothed, posed shoulders-up, entirely non-provocative in those pictures. There's no way to construe those images as explicit, erotic, or in any way sexual without making the transphobic assertion that the transition ITSELF is the sexual component.
Her crime was being joyful and a trans woman. And they erased her for it. There's no defense for this. It's just plain, naked, blatant, PROUD transphobia.
they even erased completely harmless, unrelated images she made like putting shoes on a funny snow leopard image. whoever nuked her account wanted *every trace of her gone.* kind of harrowing to see a friend treated this way by staff!
What the fuck. That is disturbingly personal. This is a SEVERE transmisogynistic attack. Like I was already livid, but this brings it to genuinely terrifying. Shoes snow leopard?? SHOES SNOW LEOPARD??? There's literally no other reason to erase a stupid fucking meme than to make an example of her. This is a new fucking low, even for Tumblr. holy fucking shit.
here's what's left of that post, for posterity
hey who wants to see my new favourite snow leopard photo ever
THEY DELETED DREP??
they went SCORCHED earth scorched earth huh.
genuine actual question for you, my intention isn't to start drama with this ask.
what do you propose we as Americans do?
not voting for Biden will basically ensure Trump and the conservatives win the election, which will be MUCH MUCH worse for the global south, as well as America, as you said in your last post answering an ask.
what do we do to stop this from happening, because as Americans, our only options are Biden or whatever Republican runs this year, probably Trump.
i don't think trump will be "much worse" for the global south, and frankly anyone who says that conservatives will be worse for the global south hasn't been paying attention. maybe in 2020 i would've agreed, but this is what i've been telling you about the past three months. the world has changed. joe biden will never recover his standing in the middle east. no president has been worse for us than joe biden. so don't pretend you are concerned about the global south in general.
its okay to admit trump will be worse for local politics but let's be clear: if trump had overseen this genocide you would have been frothing at the mouth for him to go to the hague. and now you want to deny us the right to say biden is a war criminal who should be at the hague because you're scared of trump. that's okay! its okay to be scared of a worse option. but you can't ask us to lie to you about it, because that option is worse for you, not us.
you as americans should make sure biden knows his chances of re-election are getting worse the longer this genocide goes on and israel escapes justice. you should make sure he knows it's in his own best interest that israel faces the ICJ and that netanyahu, his government, and the leaders of the IDF face the ICC.
i don't know the best way to do that out of the dozens of things people are already doing in america every dayāi know if everyone was polling like 18-29 voters, democrats would not be so quick to approve aid to israel and call a genocide trial at the hague 'meritless.' if more americans were openly saying they draw the line at voting for a war criminal regardless of trump (as most arab american and muslim american voters are), i think biden would call for a ceasefire pretty quick.
but what i do know is that stating 'vote blue no matter who' won't stop the genocide. it might not even save the election. there's quite a few key demographics who will be voting 3rd party now because they cannot stomach voting for biden or democrats anymore. these are not people who will be won over by 'trump is worse.' trump is worse for them before he's worse for you, so what does it mean about biden that people still won't vote for him despite it? againāit's your own bad luck he's the one who oversaw a genocide.
democrats believe by november people will have forgotten the genocide so they're letting it go on. they have openly stated this; that's how little they think of their constituents and of palestinians. when you say "as americans our only options are between trump and biden" you're letting me know you're not seeing the present but are fixated on the future. a genocide and an election are two separate events. you have plenty of options to stop the genocide right now, hundreds of thousands of people across america have been taking them daily, and none of them involve trump.
it's january. you are asking me how biden can win an election when you haven't stopped the genocide. there is a hospital being attacked in khan younes right now as we speak. as an american, your concern should not be the election. your concern should be the genocide.
many people think the election is a detriment for israel's plans and will eventually force biden to de-escalate. three months in, i have to disagree. biden is using his election as a bludgeon to continue the genocide. every "vote blue no matter who" post is a "genocide is fine!! keep going!" post. every campaign for joe biden right now is simply approval of genocide. it is impossible to avoid that. liberals who try to convince people to vote for a war criminal in an on-going genocide are complicit. its not our fault biden's campaign is synonymous with genocide, its his own.
it's in your own best interest not to make genocide a forgivable crime for a president. how he can possibly make up for it in time for november, this i don't know. there are already some voters he's lost forever. but in order to campaign for biden, he should have at least stopped fucking killing kids. you can argue about the merits of trump vs biden when the election is here, but you can't make that argument until you actually stop the genocide.
"If stuff was just handed to me I'd have no motivation to do anything! That's human nature!" No, babe, that's depression. Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn't being actively threatened.
[Image description: tweet by Roxi Horror @roxiqt on March 30, 2022 at 11:13 AM:Ā āāOh, so you think everyone should just be handed enough money to live?ā lol. lmao. yeah.ā]
okay so like, we allĀ know that housekeeping in a hotel is a Shit Job, right?
I worked with a woman who was independently wealthy. But she likedĀ working housekeeping. So she did. And if the manager got bitchy with her, sheād just shrug and be likeĀ āOkay, I can quit.ā
Like the manager treated her like a human being because she knew she hadĀ to because otherwise sheād lose one of her best workers.
Yes, everyone should be just handed the money to live.
I worked with a lady whoās husband made more than enough to support them both.Ā She just did the retail to have something to do with herself part-time.
Thereās a lot of people whoād happily do the same sort of thing.Ā Honestly?Ā A lot of the jobs we consider āshittyā jobs?Ā Are shitty because the employees are treated like garbage.
If employees werenāt being screwed over by people higher up the chain constantly or being forced to kiss the asses of customers currently shitting all over them, those jobs would by and large be a whole lot more bearable, and appealing to more people!!
Plus rich people are just handed a lot of money, whether they earn it or not, and no one questions that. Only poor people getting money gets interrogated over and over and over again.
Iād like to add a footnote to this thread that the US gives more money (by way of the income tax reduction) to homeowners than it does to poor people who need subsidized housing.
My best teacher in high school was the guy who had previously made a ton of money that he couldāve retired at like 30. Man just wanted to teach teenagers.
If people as a whole were handed enough money to live on, maybe more people like him wouldnāt be put off by the poor salary teachers make. (also teachers should be paid a lot more)
There's also this assumption that if people were just handed enough money to live that they'd do absolutely nothing, as if they'd be satisfied being completely bored all the time. They'd still buy food. They'd still buy video games. They'd still go out and get coffee and put money into the economy even if they didn't want to work because they still want to LIVE. They'd buy movies. They'd go DO stuff. I review comic books on the internet and I love doing it, but I often have to compromise on some things because I just can't afford to do otherwise and I stress out about stuff because I need to earn money.
If you want to know why people have lost faith in capitalism, this might help
What the fuck
Jesus H. Christ!
Show this to every person you know over age 50. 99.9% of the people giving young folks flack about "not wanting to work" (even though over a third of us are already working 2 or more jobs) or "being selfish" (even though we're the most-giving generations in history, especially when you look at the amount we give vs our income) as reasons for living with parents, other family, or roommates? Most of the people spewing that crap bought a house in the 80s or sooner. They could work in a gd mail room and afford rent, or work for a summer to pay for college that year. I know, I can hear you laughing.
Some good news: we can force that blue line up by organizing for workers' rights, and we can force that red line down by contacting our local officials and telling them we want rent increase caps during and in between tenancies!

is the tgirl wearing a collar doing it because she has a fetish, or just because it's a cute accessory? is the gay man in leather and a pup mask actually being "indecent" or is he just dressed up like a dog because it's fun? are drag queens doing it because crossdressing is sexy or because drag is an expression of who they are as a person? does the furry walking around in full suit have a boner under their outfit or do they just like cosplaying as their cute cartoon squirrel oc?
you will never know. you can never tell. sometimes even the people doing these things won't have an answer. is it a sex thing? is it kink? who fucking knows! there is no line! public expressions of sexuality aren't immoral to begin with, but if you make any attempt to suppress them, you have to decide what is and isn't allowed, and you are going to get it wrong. there is no way to untangle kink from personality and hobbies and interests. kink does not even necessarily involve sex. sometimes it's just self-expression and vulnerability and sharing a particular dynamic with another person. sounds a lot like (checks notes) literally every other human experience that exists.
i'll say it again: the person wearing a leash in your vicinity is not sexually assaulting you. they're just wearing a leash.
some of the people walking around in sandals might be doing it bc they have a foot fetish and it turns them on. what are you gonna do about it, ban people from going barefoot in public? there are renowned chefs who found success because their feeder kink got them interested in cooking. are you going to scour everyone's computer for food play porn before letting them work in a restaurant? there are bodybuilders who work out because they feel most attracted to the biggest, most muscular versions of themselves. where do we draw the line and make going to the gym illegal?
half the issue with this "no kink in public" argument is that there are plenty of socially acceptable kinks that people indulge in where others can see them already, and nobody bats an eye. sexuality is all around you, all the time, whether you recognize it or not. not only is it straight up evil to police people's self expression, but it's fundamentally impossible to separate freaky nasty kink from so-called normal human behavior. there's not really any difference. y'all are okay with your own kinks because you think they're so pure and angelic and nonoffensive but will turn around and scream profanities and accusations at ppl existing whose interests have little to no overlap with your own. stop it. live and let live.
"unless someone has their entire cock and balls out-"
shhh. nudity in itself is neither sexual nor offensive anyway. the idea that human bodies need to be covered up all the time is a western colonialist concept that wasn't commonplace worldwide until relatively recently. the existence of a penis in your vicinity is not sexual assault against you, even if you can see it.

They also have a great website that is extremely detailed and interactive!!
https://www.btselem.org
I found them because I had seen someone say that the ratio of Palestinians to Israelis fatalities since 2005 was 23:1 and i was wondering where the data for that originally came from. This website keeps such detailed accounts of fatalities, home destruction, and other human rights violations. It also has an interactive map that shows the timeline of the occupation, talks about different communities and settlements, shows check points, and more.
It is extremely informative, and honestly pretty remarkable.

Kurzgesagt is literally just likeā¦ democrat PragerU.
The exact same template of āstudio-produced channel, with a single narrator to make it seem personal, focused on supposedly-Apolitical technical subjects, also sneaks in obvious propaganda about, say, how despite it seeming like we live in an age of constant war, the world is actually super peaceful (and that theĀ āwar between Israelis and Palestiniansā is senseless factional violence)ā has been repeated so many times itās old hat.
whenever i see ādemocracyā graphed on a chart like itās a quantifiable data point, i only think of this
