I Think The Funniest Thing I Learnt Today Was That Antis DID Try To Make Their Own Ao3, But The Restrictions

Do you live in New York and have space in your heart and your home for a cat or two? New York City’s Animal Care & Control has so many cats that need homes that they’re unable to take in any more. All available adult cats have an adoption fee of $5 through the summer.

This is just a small sample of the amazing cats available for adoption. If you adopt any of these beauties I would love to see them in their new home!

yemen is the poorest nation in the arab world. but in two weeks time, it did what no oil or gas- rich arab nation could do. by seizing three ships and costing i****l more than 2 billion by forcing its ships to go around africa, yemen showed up.

I love the library

it's kind of upsetting how little research antis want to put into their arguments. darkfic/proship content is not an unhealthy coping mechanism, and never will be, and sharing that content with others isn't unhealthy, either; it's a way to share experiences and thoughts and combat the isolation and general feeling of "i'm the only one that's been through this, so therefore i am gross/'messed up'," that comes with trauma (and specifically sexual trauma). reading and writing my own darkfic exploring some of the shit i went through/things similar did far more for my recovery than bottling everything up and keeping it to myself ever did, and it was certainly a better alternative to the actually unhealthy coping mechanisms i've used. (well... unless the fifteen year olds want to argue with several professionals, anyway.)

plus, telling proshippers who create content to vent that a) their thoughts are wrong, and b) they shouldn't be sharing those thoughts with other people because "they'll hurt minors," or "they're gross," just feels so icky. forgive me if this is too bold a claim for fuckin tumblr drama, but it parallels a lot of things people who seriously fucked me up have said while they were fucking me up, because things like that rely on the victim feeling guilty, ashamed, and most importantly staying isolated and quiet. Spouting out poorly-researched claims like this and pushing what is essentially a puritan moral code onto everyone around you, even in the name of "protecting minors and survivors," is doing WAY more harm than good.

but... what i say doesn't matter, does it? we don't really count as survivors unless we stay quiet and alone, just like antis want, right? eat my dick.

AMAZING news: the Reproductive Freedom Act in Ohio has now officially been CERTIFIED to be on the ballot in this November's election. It gathered 495,938 signatures from 55 counties across Ohio. Republicans messed around & women & young people will make them find out.

it's good for your mental health to have mutuals who are wildly horny about kinks which do nothing at all for you

in light of a four day ceasefire in Gaza being agreed upon, i am once again asking you all not to lose sight of the big picture. Biden and the Israeli Government are trying to frame this as a major democratic victory and as a favor respectively. they have no intention of a total ceasefire. they have no intention of stopping their genocide. remember - a ceasefire is the very first step. it’s not even the bare minimum.

the absolute bare minimum in this situation is 1) a complete ceasefire and immediate humanitarian aid in Gaza, 2) complete halt of all military foreign aid to the Israeli government, 3) the Israeli government being prosecuted for its war crimes in the International Criminal Court, and 4) land back and reparations for the Palestinian people. free Palestine means free Palestine, not just temporarily stop carpet bombing Palestine.

a temporary ceasefire is something, but it’s not even close to the end goal. we cannot let up pressure when things seem to be looking up. keep protesting, boycotting, spreading awareness, contacting politicians, etcetera. keep your eyes on Gaza. free Palestine.

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

bro holy shit

My hometown flooded Monday night.

Vermont has flooded.

My family and home are fine because the 7.8 inches of rain that fell in a day didn’t cause our house to slide of the ridge it sits on, but less than a thousand feet away roads have been washed out and homes are being condemned. Yesterday, our congressional delegation, the governor, and a FEMA representative, toured the town - focusing on the non-profit cat cafe turned hazardous waste site thanks to a basement full of red diesel fuel and the neighborhood that includes a ten story, low income, senior and disabled apartment building where the blacktop of the road lifted and peeled away in huge sheets. There is still only one route out of town to the interstate due to landslides and flooding. In every direction I can point to there are towns going through similar things. Our capitol, Montpelier, flooded causing most of the state government to shut down and move essential operations to a nearby airport. Many farms were in the path of flood waters and lost most of their crops. Vermont has the second largest population of unhoused people per capita, second to California, with many of them camping in the woods along our rivers. They have lost everything.

In short, we need help.

I gathered some resources if you need an updated news source or are able to donate.

It’s raining again.
