in case people weren't aware, BDS has called for a boycott of microsoft gaming products:
Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription.
Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft.
Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).
more info on the boycott and microsoft's collaboration with israel from bds' own website. microsoft is directly partnered with the israeli military, providing cloud services and ai technologies that actively contribute to the genocide of palestinians.
bethesda and blizzard are specifically named, but other companies under xbox game studios include mojang and obsidian entertainment - i'm highlighting obsidian here because (afaik) i haven't seen anyone bring them up specifically. i don't mean this in a condemnatory way, i'm an enjoyer of obsidian games myself, i just want to make sure people are aware.
For those who already own the games or the console, the organizers said, the ideal move would be to stop playing, but the primary ask from organizers is to help deprive Microsoft of revenue. Therefore, players can be compliant with the boycott by avoiding future purchases of games or consoles and by avoiding transactions inside the games.
a cultural boycott has not been called for, but there's no avoiding the fact that fandom is effectively free word-of-mouth advertising. i am not here to tell you what to do or act as your moral arbiter, all i can do is give you information and ask you to be conscientious. please refrain from making any new purchases or from encouraging other people to buy games/products that provide revenue to microsoft - consider donating to a gazan mutual aid fund, such as a campaign run by the sameer project instead
Any card can be the faggot card if you read into it too much
Thay r adding new tqarot card the faggot
I love Josh’s anti-classism so much. I grew up in a single parent household that didn’t have time/the ability to cook. I taught myself as an adult and ended up loving it. I cook with this stuff a lot. Shit, the RealLemon juice ends up in a lot of my cocktails. Sure, I like fancy ingredients when I can afford them and I have things I get picky about using - but I have bad hands, mincing garlic is painful as fuck. There’s a lot to be said for knowing how to work with what you have. Don’t shame people for trying, don’t shame people for feeding their families things that they enjoy.

Everyone told me testosterone would make me angrier. My family has a habit of attributing any anger I feel these days to the testosterone. I didn't feel any angrier, but my mother would still tell me that no, I am angrier now, and testosterone did make me angrier and *she* could tell.
A week or two ago, I got my proof to the contrary. I'd been having a difficult day, woke up late, and had to rush out the door, ran into minor inconvenience after minor inconvenience, and then the straw broke the camel's back.
I wrote out the kind of angry vindictive seething text message I used to write constantly. I didn't send it, of course, I copied it out and pasted it in the folder of my notes where I put all my rage venting.
And then I thought.
Huh, it's been a little while since I did that. And I checked the time and dates on my previous notes. The last one was a few days before I started testosterone.
And scrolling back, I noticed that they were *constant* at least one a week for *years* I used to get so angry that I would get the serious urge to say cruel hurtful things to or about people I cared about on a near-daily basis. I didn't realize how big of a problem it was until all of a sudden I hadn't gotten that angry in Eleven Months. Nearly a YEAR.
And then I realized in my rush to get out the door in the morning, I hadn't taken my T shot. My testosterone was the lowest it's been since August.
All of a sudden, I had demonstrable proof that testosterone really did make me less angry. That all that "you may not think you're any angrier but you are" was bullshit.
I feel like I should be angrier about this than I am. I know how angry I used to get. About everything. I just felt it again for the first time in a while. For once, it would feel justified to be that angry. But I'm not. I'm not mad. I'm just... disappointed, I guess.

hey everyone… i hate to make another post like this but every opportunity i’ve had to make money has been pulled out from under me for one reason or another. my house burned down this january, and it drained my savings account pretty much dry. i have stable housing with a neglectful and emotionally abusive family. so, not incredibly stable. i was hospitalized right before the fire for a chronic condition that worsened bc i avoided treatment that i didn’t want to pay for. the hospital bill was obviously higher than i could pay, equal to like a months rent. i’ve been bouncing around locations, couch surfing, neglecting my schooling while trying to make myself available for gigs and employment that has been promised to me but every time im told i have a job something goes wrong and all of a sudden they can’t hire me for one reason or another. it’s really fucking frustrating. if you have spare cash, it would mean a lot if you could sent it my way so i can pay for hrt, get new ids, replace things from the fire, and hopefully i can lower my medical debt so it becomes manageable to pay.

TW: Talks of Disordered eating and whatever tf my mom’s on-
My mom: Haha look at you you have the diet of a five year old you want some chicken nuggets and ramen and (insert other bland food)?
What I wanted to say: Actually I like plenty of vegetables, green onions, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumber, I eat a lot of different types of food and prefer a lot of healthy food, it’s just that somehow everything you make has either onions or peppers, the two things I’ve told you I hate with a burning passion and you’ve made no effort to provide meal alternatives so sorry for making two pb&j sandwiches as dinner I don’t think eating food should be a painful experience
What I actually said: :)
Texas is still the only state in the USA that has clinics with comprehensive Healthcare for intersex people btw. All yall "let's abandon Texas and Florida" bitches don't have half the backbone of queers living in those states fighting for queer rights
