Diamoric Terms (a better worded post, finally)

Hello! About several months back, I posted two seperate posts about Diamoric specific community terms. They weren’t exactly the best worded, so here’s a brand new post for people!

Sapphic communities have butch and fem, (with tomcat and doe being seen used by bi and pan ladies,) Achillean communities have bear and twink (and about a hundred other lovely terms,) so in the spirit of things, I coined peacock, crow, and kiwi.

But Hatch, what do those mean?

The Avian Spectrum, as we can call it, isn’t about body type or masc/fem presentation, its about style presentation. A peacock diamoric would be flashy (bright makeup and haircolors, colorful clothes, or anything flamboyant) and a kiwi diamoric would seem like a librarian (neutral earthy tones, simple and nice clothes, simple.) Crow is in the middle of that, and if you’re really wanting some in-the-middle terms, pigeon is between peacock and crow, and falcon is between crow and kiwi!

Examples:

Peacock!

X | X | X

Sooooooooo, okay! I’m still a beginner but I’m pretty proud of this one, it’s actually my first ever colored drawing I did digitally. Hope you like it!

Help me flee my country.

Hello, my name is Carmen (she/her). I’m 23 years old, and I need help to leave my country, Venezuela.

(Some info about myself: I have a B.Ed. in Spanish and Literature, and I’m currently working as a news editor)

The following is a lot to take in, but bare with me.

As some of you may know, Venezuela is in a deep economic, political, and humanitarian crisis due to the low oil prices, the devaluation of out currency and a corrupt government that doesn’t know how to handle the nation.

Right now Vzla is the country with the highest inflation rate in the world: 1369% (hyperinflation).

Our currency, the bolívar fuerte, is practically worthless. Here, one (1) dollar is worth around 100.000 Bs. f. the minimum wage is 456.507 Bs. f. a month. I, a full time worker (8 hours per day), make less than 5 dollars a month.

Because the national production is dead, almost everything is imported. Which means the cost of products depends on the value of the $. So basic goods can cost half your salary.

(Here some info about foreign currency regulations and price controls in Venezuela)

Some prices (12/11/2017):

(I know, it’s RIDICULOUS)

All of this, of course, increases the violence, insecurity and corruption rates as well. Caracas (our capital), Valencia and Maturín made it to the top 10 “most violent cities in the world”. Cumaná (Where I live) is number 24.

Basically, you can’t own anything without being at risk of getting robbed/kidnaped/killed, you can’t save money because the devaluation/inflation moves too fast, you can’t eat well because you can’t afford it, you can’t get sick because there’s no medicine and hospitals are in shambles.

We literally don’t even have cash, because we need too many bills to buy anything and the demand is too high.

You can’t live here, period.

A lot of venezuelans are leaving the country everyday to anywhere really, but as the time goes by it gets harder to get out. Airlines are cutting flights and the transportation system is shutting down.

(The photo below is from the San Cristóbal terminal. A bus loads people who travel to the Colombian border. 12/07/2017)

I stayed for the longest, hopeful that maybe things would change, but nothing happened and things are just getting worse.

For that and more, I, along with two close friends, have decided to leave Venezuela and settle in Perú, to help our families from outside.

“The bolivar is so devalued that sending only a fraction of a month’s salary to a relative in Venezuela can amount to millions of bolivars. For example, the minimum wage in Peru is around US $250. If you send your relative about US $10, they would have three minimum wage monthly salaries” (x).

But before all that we need money. At least $1.500 to pay for the travel (on bus/ 4 days aprox.) and to cover the expenses of a month stay (until we stabilize) in Perú.

So, that’s it. Any little help is a lot, PLEASE SHARE.

(Because neither Paypal nor GoFundMe work in Venezuela…)

🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.

Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.
