Subpar Dad Jokes

Australia is currently petitioning to make it that all gender confirming surgeries for transgender individuals are covered by Medicare. This is absolutely huge as surgeries are super expensive even with private health insurance.

It doesn't ask for an address or phone number or anything so I think anyone in the world can sign for it? But I'm not entirely sure.

EDIT: yeah you gotta be a citizen, so if you're outside the country, if you could reblog this to reach more Australians, this would be amazing!

Here's the petition link:

Petition information:

I believe that tumblr’s decision to delete the satirical fan blog, @osha-official, is a violation of user rights under fair use.

First let’s be clear — none of the people who followed this blog actually believed that it was an official representative of the OSHA organization. It was obvious to all of us that the “official” in the blog title was satirical. We all fully understood that it was simply a fan blog that spread enthusiasm about labor rights and safety standards.

This is tumblr, after all. The layperson’s website.

The users on this website take PRIDE♡ in the website’s lack of “bluechecks.” Many of us look upon influencer culture and corporate PR with disdain.

.

If tumblr @staff were truly concerned about a blogger impersonating an organization, then I do not understand why @staff didn’t simply require the blog to change its name, rather than deleting it altogether.

This blog was beloved.

The @osha-official fan blog made lighthearted, cheeky posts that support labor rights & safe working environments. It was relatable, and comforting, for us to be able to like and reblog posts of that nature.

For many users this deletion feels like a direct attack on our collective freedom of expression, and on our community identity.

Many of us are laborers ourselves.

Tumblr is one of the ONLY social media websites left in which users feel safe to voice genuine grievances about bad working conditions without fear of our bosses finding out and firing us.

I believe in signs. Maybe you do, too - or maybe it’s just a coincidence that I felt like someone may need this and that you come across this post right now and decided to read it. I don’t know that.

But no matter if you were meant to receive this sign or if it’s nothing but a big old coincidence: if you find yourself wondering if it is even possible to live a happy life as a lgbt+ person, this is your reminder that the answer is yes.

Yes, lgbt+ people can (and do!) have happy, fulfilling lives. Yes, that includes you! Yes, you will experience happiness. Yes, there will be beautiful moments in your life that are worth sticking around for. Yes, you will feel at home in yourself. Yes, your future is worth fighting for.

You are not sentenced to a lifetime of feeling broken or lonely, even if it may feel that way right now. Joy and passion and freedom and belonging and healing and just that feeling of waking up with a smile on your face - those aren’t pipe dreams you should just give up on.

You can and will experience so many wonderful things, I promise.

With all my love,

“What about REAL monster girls??? Not just weird humans?? like real huge MONSTERS?? With giant sharp claws and big sharp teeth?? Where are those???”

The Signal for Help was first introduced in Canada by the Canadian Women’s Foundation on April 14, 2020, and on April 28, 2020 in the United States by the Women’s Funding Network (WFN). It received widespread praise from local, national, and international news organizations for helping provide a modern solution to the issue of a rise in domestic violence cases.

The signal has been recognized by over 40 organizations across Canada and the United States as a useful tool to help combat domestic violence.

i’d say shinigami eyes is a must for everybody, it highlights trans, enby and ace users in green and transphobes, terfs,truscum and exclusionists in red 

word replacer II is quite useful to hide deadnames, and it’s pretty easy to use, just remember to disable when communicating with people you aren’t out to

deadname remover does the same thing, but it isn’t as advanced, sometimes it doesn’t recognize middle names, and it only allows one last name (firefox version)

and lastly we have tumblr batch block, which allows you to block multiple blogs at once from anywhere in the web

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
