holy fuck. please people spread the word.

moot- @pansexual-frog-offical

I get some people in this world are homophobic but do they really have to go this far but disrespecting their rights? OUR AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE STATES, FUCKING STATES, that EVERY yes EVERY SINGLE PERSON STANDING ON AMERICAN SOIL, must be treated with equality, additionally being provided with inalienable rights. This applies to trans people too. They are human, not an object to be throwing and putting labels on.

Why do the conservatives have to deny every queer thing? Like come fucking on, I get it that majority of you are respecting your religion but do you know the phrase “be yourself?” If a person isnt what they believe they are, let them modify into someone they think is them. God fucking dammit give me a break

uhm tags…?

spread the word, even if you dont live in the U.S.

I saw this earlier this week. God I’m so tired of this goddamn administration. Keep trans kids alive and creeps away from our fucking bodies.

Tagging mutuals as always, thank you @silly-blue-gosling for the tag

@liamthesnail @sir-froggs @swagerly @lynx-of-clouds (Ik the rule but I’m breaking it bc this is important ^^) @hyperfixatedmythosgirl @stankycheez @ruginabug @buymyfinepies @randomperson3071 @crypticraccoon96 @m0thwithaflashlight @kounelisbrunch

We can't let these creeps get away with this kind of shit. Please spread the word about this. GO MY MOOTS

I will not stand for this BULLSHIT!

Even if this "might not effect you" WHICH IT WILL, REGARDLESS IF YOU'RE TRANS OR NOT! We shouldn't be letting this happen anywhere in the world.

Open tags, please reblog this!!!

Ignoring the experts on the subject while also appealing to "common sense" and dismissing all research that contradicts them while also appealing to "basic science."

A lot of us were raised with the idea that “its normal for wives/children to get hit! it helps them learn– only white folk don’t get beaten when they misbehave”. That’s not true, white people aren’t the only ones who deserve a safe and abuse free environment. Black and brown people can and do have loving families. 

Visible mending is a way to fix clothes with holes in a decorative way. Instead of trying to make the mend invisible as possible, it can be fun and creative to hi light the tears and holes with stitching that adds to the garment. I think this method is super cool to repair clothes you may really want to keep but also make more beautiful.

There are many techniques to mending clothes and here are some popular techniques that will help you save your clothes and also reduce your consumption of fast-fashon!

darning

The embroidery technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches and thread woven in-between those stitches to repair a hole. If you’re interested in employing this stitch, check out this awesome darning tutorial by Evelyn Wood!

sashiko

This type of traditional Japanese mending practice is used to reinforce the strength of fabric as well as decorate. It is a great solution for mending holes with patches and well to reinforce thinning fabric! For learning the basics of Sashiko there is a wonderful beginners tutorial by Benzie Design.

patches

Patches are very versatile when used for repairing clothes. You can sew it over a hole in your fabric or you can also so the patch in the inside to have it peek out. There is a great tutorial for custom DIY patches by wastelesscrafts and Creating with misp has a tutorial on mending with a peek-through patch. 

as of today, trans women, trans men, non-binary, and self-identified genders are officially de-recognised and supporting establishments criminalised in India.

India contains the largest LGBTQ+ community on the planet. Hundreds of millions of queer people have lost the right to existence in just 48 hours.

This happened despite the majority religion (Hinduism) supporting Queer people. This happened despite acceptance and regular pride parades in India's cities.

If it happened in India, it will happen to your country. Do not turn a blind eye to the politics in your own nation. If you do not violently remove fascism or ethno-nationalism from your country, they'll pick you off one by one.

if you have twitter and live outside of India, definitely do not tag @/BJP4India and flood their twitter with demands for a repeal. That could cause international pressure on the government to reconsider its decisions, which I totally cannot endorse at all.

Spread the news around, let there be an international outcry. Stand in support of the millions of lives needlessly ruined in India.

the hindu news report

human rights watch report

no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)

you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results
