Luigi Mangione could be getting the death penalty…
This man is innocent, his appearance and build doesn’t match that of the killers, the only “motive” he had was a convenient written confession showing that he supposedly viewed healthcare companies as “parasitic” and too expensive (which does somewhat contradict the actual killers actions) he had said note and the murder weapon conveniently on him while living his ordinary life, the killer held the gun in his right hand while Luigi is left-handed, Luigi and the Killer were potentially seen simultaneously, they wore slightly different coats.
The NYPD KNOW these are different people, they know the evidence is lacking, this isn’t a mistaken identity, it’s framing, they are trying to make themself appear to still be control by catching this man, humiliating him, killing him, when they know full well that the person they are prosecuting ISNT EVEN THE RIGHT GUY! This is an injustice! This is not a fair trial! This is downright tyranny!
and yeah, "cringe culture" and "lolcowing" has completely fucking ruined people's creativity and joy and whimsy towards making whatever the fuck they want. it's not dead it just keeps reinventing itself into whatever form that can bully neurodivergent people.
Trump 2016 was nothing compared to what's coming and you know it.
No I don't, and you don't either.
One of the problems that I have with electoralism is that every election is the most important election of our lives. Every election is the last one to save democracy. Every election is the only way that we can protect the marginalized otherwise so you have to vote blue no matter who or you're going to be killed in the streets by the red team.
This is propaganda to get people to vote, but what it also does is reinforce the idea that the only people who can save you are the ones on the ballot.
There are people all over the world living under fascist regimes, living in war zones, living in dictatorships, who are supporting one another. There are trans communities under Modi and queers in Russia and people who provide underground reproductive healthcare in Iran and people who provide medical care to their neighbors in tents in Gaza.
What you are doing is American exceptionalism in a liberal hat. This is NOT the end of the fucking world. This is NOT the worst disaster you will ever face. This is NOT a reason to give up or to stop caring or to stop working or to lay down and die.
Is this a good thing that has happened? No. But bad things happen all the time and we keep going.
If you must wallow, then wallow, but I've got shit to do just like I did last week.
hi a note for transfemmes: there is a site called eshakti where you can get beautifully made femme clothes in a wide variety of shapes, colors, prints, and fabrics -- all made to your measurements. it is not cheap, but it's also not expensive for what it is. i dont know where they ship outside of the us but im sure they have it listed somewhere.
im not a transfemme but i pretty much exclusively shop from eshakti when i can because my body is ridiculous shapes that are not found in pretty much any clothes i could buy off the rack. the quality is amazing, and if anything fits weird, you can send it back for adjustments.
my partner IS a transfemme though, and she just got her first order in, and she just looks so beautiful and so happy and i just. i want to make sure y'all know this exists. i know not everyone can afford it, but for those who can, it can be really nice to have something in a shape you want, in a color you want, in a fabric you want, made for your body no matter what shapes make up your body.
typically for your first order you get custom sizing for free. right now (july 2nd 2023) there's a 35% sale on the whole store, and those sales happen probably quarterly, and you can get the free custom sizing on top of that. you MAY be emailed by the team to confirm some of your sizing, but i promise it's just to make sure your measurements are right, and not the company trying to judge or discriminate. i was contacted for my wild shapes (bust/waist ratio) and my partner was contacted for her height (she's 6'3"). you just email back confirming and it's totally fine.
i hope you have clothes that fit you, size and soul, and make you feel beautiful, whether from here or otherwise.
I am making this post for Dina and Ahmed Alanqar's family in Gaza @anqarfamily. They have four young children: Zeina, Eileen, Yamen, and their littlest daughter Sawsan, born just this past June. They have been multiply displaced at this point, with their homes and workplaces destroyed by Zionist bombs, and have been facing the difficulties of a scarcity and/or lack of work, schools, healthcare, food, water, and medicine, along with the everpresent threat of disease, ever since.
This fundraiser's objective is to provide them with sufficient funds so that when the opportunity arrives, they will be able to leave Gaza. Please, if you are able, donate! And regardless of your situation, make sure to share this post! I would like to see the notes on this eclipse the number of votes on the poll, unlike an unfortunately high quantity of other posts like this one, and for Dina and Ahmed to receive as many donations as possible!
This is a vetted fundraiser, listed as #264 on this speadsheet of verified fundraisers created by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein.
They are close to their goal, let's help them reach it!
scam texts aren't even trying any more. i have to pay my taxes? at latina fiesta dot co???
tbh the whole "trans women are new to oppression" thing kind of gives the game away. the people who say this think of us as nubile sex nymphs of the kind they search for on porn sites, eternally newly transitioned.
even if they had a point about new transitioners — they don't — they betray that they don't think of us as a demographic with older women in. because they don't think of us as real at all; we're their porn creatures, and we should stop interrupting the real women and the real trans people.
