i feel like people are skimming over the uk riots in a way that makes me want to tear my hair out. muslims in the uk are in active danger. immigrants in the uk are in active danger. refugees in the uk are in active danger. people of colour in the uk are in active danger. asian communities in the uk are in active danger. black communities in the uk are in active danger.
there are massive far right riots throughout the country right now and people like fucking elon musk and nigel farage are inciting it and still have a platform to speak. people have used three young girls deaths, people's genuine grief in southport, to try and gain traction for their own racist bullshit and it's working.
a lot of refugee charities have been forced to close leaving many people without support, homes, funding, food, etc. if you aren't able to donate please consider sending a message via the conversation over borders campaign! it will send a hopeful, welcoming letter to a refugee in the uk. there is also a guide to staying safe here.
please do your own research and donate to refugee charities, anti-islamophobia charities, mosques who are trying to rebuild after being destroyed, counter protesters, here are some i've heard positive things about but the list is extensive; southport strong together (support for the southport victims and their families), emergency unity fund, southport mosque rebuilding, riot repair fund, middlesbrough vulnerable residents, nasir mosque rebuilding, hull help for refugees, bristol welcomes migrants,
Btw, non UK users here, would be genuinely super helpful if you could boost posts relating to the far right violence happening and also counter protests. A lot of UK users don’t really follow each other, and also it just helps to increase the chance of people who could go to counter protests seeing posts about what’s happening when. I know posts about our politics; and non USAmerican politics really; don’t get a lot of traction on here, but like despite the UScentrism of the English speaking user base it’s really helpful and beneficial to share these things. The situation is likely downright horrifying to those being targeted right now and it really should be a priority for us to go out and counter this to the best of our abilities
I've seen little about it so, Just an FYI what's been unfolding in England today. Far-right protestors are literally trying to kill asylum seekers in hotels.
In Rotherham, Yorkshire fascists have tried to set a hotel on fire with migrants staying there. Some signalling cut-throat gestures at the people staying in the rooms.
In Tamworth, Staffordshire the very same thing is happening. Another hotel has been set on fire with asylum seekers still inside alongside racist graffiti.
Other similar protests that are going uncountered are happening in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stoke-on-Trent and many more areas, chances are there will be one somewhere by you if things keep going the way they are. Nazis are literally strolling about unchallenged and these people are marching happily with them. There are more sensitive videos online which I won't share here but there are groups of nazis chasing down and circling black people in cities and beating them up, indian and chinese takeaways being targetted, turkish barbers being set alight and there have been incidents of muslims being assaulted and even stabbed.
BUT... There are success stories from UK cities where riots have failed due to no turnout or due to antifascists driving far-right pricks out of the city.
Cardiff, Wales - About 5 fascists turn up compared to 500 conuter-protestors. They failed to get anyone here despite trying two times.
Liverpool, Merseyside - A significant EDL mob is marched out of the city and fought against. Counter-protestors form a ring around a mosque being targetted.
Bristol, City of - antifascists block the entrance to a hotel that nazis are trying to get into as well as a fierce citywide push against the EDL and racism.
Nottingham, East Midlands - A huge antifascist counter protest outnumbers EDL and the far-right, preventing a riot from occuring.
There are many many more of these riots planned. If you're in the UK get organised and be prepared to fight alongside the people who make our communities stong and resiliant and make our country and cities a wonderful vibrant and friendly place to be. Help by whatever means you can. If you are not from the UK then please signal boost this because this needs to stop this nastiness from spreading and to make nazis afraid again.
So twitter is being really fucking weird about Imane Khelif because they found out that she has elevated levels of testosterone. Anyone do this to Phelps who had the proportions and lung capacity to be a great swimmer? How about strongman Eddie Hall who has a gene that allows him to build muscle a lot more efficiently? She doesn’t even have a perfect record so it’s not like she’s been beating women left and right and setting off world records here. A white woman cried about getting hit too hard in a BOXING match and and all the transphobic racists came out to play. Hell she was born and assigned female at birth in a country that is notoriously anti-trans 😭
Do you have any advice for writing romance in general? I can't figure out a plot without making the romance a background idea :/
Come up with a pair of people who contrast in a pleasing way
Make them really really really want each other
Give them a great reason they must not, under any circumstances, fuck
Write about the consequences
a lot going on w this whole boxing drama but have to say JK Rowling having made an enemy of the entire country of Taiwan is a definite highlight
White people want to make the Olympics white again essentially.
In some positive news, the British medical association has passed a resolution against the implementation of the Cass Review, calling it “unsubstantiated.”

I'm actually fucking appalled how many of my "fellow" yankee cunts did a 180 on not supporting a genocide the second the Dems trotted out a candidate with a functioning brain cell. Is that all this was to you? Was it just because Biden is a fucking zombie who is easy to hate? And now that we have girlboss #brat Kamala (who is just as bad if not worse than Biden on basically everything) it's okay now and we can go back to the polls? Seriously fuck you. Fuck this country and fuck everyone who enables it. Maybe Trump winning will get you complacent fucks back on the street if only out of your own petty self-interest. Eat shit.
mormons undoubtedly in the top 5 worst things the united states has ever invented which is really saying something
A trans person was assaulted for trying to comply to transphobic demands on going to the "correct" bathroom. And the response from transphobes was merely that she deserved it. That it's "boys just fighting". That this is so that women are kept safe.
I know this site is full of TERFs. And so, I want to focus the attention towards you. Your belief system is just very disjointed. Women should have their own spaces and defeat the patriarchy. Yet somehow men are inherently powerful and violent. We should dismantle the patriarchal system. Yet "boys fighting" is acceptable, even as one person is a trans femme that was attacked. No matter how patient and compassionate people can be towards you, you vilify us and support men that do this to us. You are not fighting for women's rights. Likely your movement will hinge back to racism if we ever get wiped out as you seek us to be. Your ideas won't protect lesbians. They won't protect black women. They won't even protect you.
We can't use a public restroom. We can't use locker rooms. Are we going to be a threat to you just for existing publicly at some point? As cis men and women murder us and rape us?
And I want to know, where does that help you? If we get killed off are you going to be safer from cis men? Is this fun to you? Trying to ruin our lives? To tell us how we're supposed to feel and identity? Do you know why we start having violent responses to our abusers? Do you not realize you are behaving like the said men you despise?
Your movement is rotten. It's protecting men. And it's endangering us. All I can say is go fuck yourselves for all of this.
"she said she was going to rebuke me in the name of Jesus so I shot her in the face". She made a joke. A JOKE. and then, as she begged and apologized, he shot her in the face.
I want that man hung. Not fired. Not fired and given money to quit. Hung. That's some sadistic shit. zero concern for human life, she probably wasn't even human in his eyes.
this is so fucking heartbreaking why do we live in such a cruel world
i think hamas should be given nukes and yemen also should be given nukes.
When ever other USAmericans on here talk about the atrocities of the USA and it's politicians it always gets so utterly frustrating how self centered a lot of the conversation is and if you try to talk about how the USA has fucked with a lot of the rest of the world you're usually shut down and your rant stolen to once again further a self centered dialogue.
And, I don't mean republicans or alt righters or whatever, i mean liberals, anarchists, communists, the American flavor of these groups just come off so ignorant about the rest of the world sometime that it kind of feels embarrassing to associate with any of them (well, it's always embarrassing to associate with a liberal, fuck em).
Like, the easiest example is talking about how Biden supported the genocide in Palestine ruthlessly. Biden very specifically has always been more vicious about the Palestinians than the other genocide approving politicians. But, you bring that up and you're immediately told "UH OK BUT TRUMP WILL DO IT TOO AND AT LEAST BIDEN DOESN'T WANT ME DEAD" and it's like, why is this suddenly about you? Does your life matter more than the Palestinians? How does this matter to the people talking who don't live in the USA?
And that's how a lot of these conversations go. Whenever people from Latin America or Asia or anywhere really speak up about how the USA has committed horrific crimes and how their politicians took specific moves to ruin the lives of people around the world and ruin the earth around the world, they get told to shut up and go vote blue. In an election they can't vote in. UH KAMALA ISN'T PERFECT BUT SHE WON'T KILL THE GAYS what does that do to help the Brazilian speaking out, or the Korean talking about the USA terrorizing their country, or the Palestinians facing pure horror?
It's not just tumblr or the internet either, getting involved with protesting or various political shit, the anarchists and communists I wind up around have endless demands and ideas about the future within the United States, but there's never an acknowledgement about the horror around the world. Maybe you get people supporting Palestine (and in my opinion, that's bare minimum for these groups, any lefty group not supporting Palestine is liberal horseshit) but outside of that they either don't know or don't care about the extended violence the states have spread around the world.
There's just an extreme loathing a lot of people here have for people out of these borders. Call it racism, call it xenophobia, Americans time and time again fucking hate it when the people of the world talk about how the USA is evil. They think these tragedies of being things of the past and hate it when you point out that 1) tragedies of the past have ramifications now and 2) the USA is still doing these things around the world.
But hey, I guess the Chinese blogger should just vote for Kamala, right? I mean, she'll protect the gay trans you and not the gay trans everyone else, right?

the news coming from gaza every single day is heartbreaking on levels that keep getting more and more. a boy with autism and down syndrome in gaza was killed by a zionist dog.
Real
I better see every single god damn liberal war tax resisting bc how to are you going to say there is nothing to be done and then not participate in a coordinated effort trying to do something that everyone can do quite easily
The liberal is confined to doing what is allowed under the various frameworks constructed by both their ideology as well as the the laws/rituals put up by the bourgeois state. You can't break the law, even if the law is wholly unjust, because it violates the procedures needed to circumvent that law. It is a struggle to even get them to do civil disobedience as even their protests have to adhere by the regulations set by the state. After all, breaking laws is bad! Likewise, you can't agitate for revolution, suppress your class enemies, construct a dictatorship of the proletariat because it's "oppressive", "violent", "authoritarian", etc. ,etc.. So they direct energy and momentum into "valid" avenues of "resistance", e.g., voting, mailing/calling elected senators, or negging people online to "go to the polls"; Actions which have no material backing. This is exactly what the bourgoeisie wants as, by funneling revolutionary energy into endless pits, it allows them to continue extracting profit, exploiting the proletariat, and carrying out genocide. When these actions inevitably fail to bring the change that is needed, the failure is not channeled into analyzing and self-crit on what went wrong, it is instead spent on a meaningless hunt for the outside agitator, the spook, the foreign influence which supposedly caused their virtuous and moral actions to fail.
Liberals will do nothing meaningful to fight fascism and want you to thank them for it.
zlibrary gone... FUCK TIKTOK FUCK BOOKTOK I hope that app burns in hell
FUCK AMERICA HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY CEASAR SALAD 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽❗❗❗
Ryan Gainer was a 15 year old Autistic Black boy who was shot and killed by police in California.
Ryan seemed to have been having a meltdown, he was holding a gardening tool, police were called to the house but they are refusing to release any body cam footage of the shooting and refusing to state how many times Ryan was shot, they failed to help him before the paramedics arrived.
After shooting him Ryan's family was then forced out of their home while the police rummaged through their house looking for any justifiable cause for shooting Ryan.
This is hardly the first time the San Bernardino police department has attacked or killed people having a mental health crisis.
Rest in Power Ryan.
STOP CALLING THE POLICE ON DISABLED AND MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE!
