Transitioning is cool and I recommend doing it.

A tweet from Jerrica @jinkiesJerrica that says "'hrt won't have any effect if you are over 20 years old' is a lie meant to keep people afraid of transitioning . It's gate keeping. I didn't start taking estrogen until last year when I was 38 years old. And now I have a b cup, and hips. It's never too late to transition." There are two pictures of Jerrica the first is a professional head shot of them wearing a collared shirt the second is a mirror selfie of them wearing a sweater dress a leather jacket and a large hat

A diagnosis of a disability is permission from someone outside your social class to be a part of your social class. It is both a harmful hierarchy, and often incredibly dangerous to participate in.

3 posts from a twitter user named Candace D (@DiaryofaSickGirl). The first says "At one point I thought I might have fibromyalgia and someone told me I shouldn't seek that diagnosis because then drs would think I’m “crazy” and “drug seeking.” it’s fucked up how we have to consider how we might be judged when diagnosed with anything.' The next post says "I was just like idc what anyone thinks of me, I need answers and help. Turns out I have a whole list of other things instead. My mom was diagnosed with fibro so I thought it was good to consider and explore for myself as well. IF you don't get a diagnosis people think you're faking and if you do people thing you're crazy. You literally can't win at all ever when you're chronically ill/disabled. Everything you do will be wrong to people. It's so exhausting.

You are not going to beat oppression by focusing on the oppressor. If our needs are only fulfilled because they benefit our oppressor, or fit in with their morality, we are still oppressed.

An image of two tumblr posts. The first is by jezzaCorbyn saying "I think men should spend less time emphasizing that the victims of sexual assault/harassment are their sister/mother/wives/friends etc. and more time thinking about how the perpetrators of these crimes are their brothers/fathers/sons/friends etc. Stop emphasizing your relationship to the victim to victimise yourself and instead emphasize your responsibility to hold the men around you accountable. The next by the same person says "'i've seen so much stuff on twitter lately about men saying they're gonna do stuff to make women feel safe, like walking on the other side of the road. i don't want you to jangle your keys or whistle so i know where you are, i want you to shout at your brother for making a rape joke, tell your father off for whistling at women on the streets and stop your friends from touching girls in clubs without consent."

Urgent: Help Us Fortify the Only Safe Haven in Gorom Camp.

Our situation at Gorom camp has reached a critical tipping point. While we are deeply moved and grateful to announce that we have successfully renovated the transgender shelter using recent donations, purchasing food and new mattress, to replace those lost, the physical safety of our residents remains incredibly fragile. Our community members are currently living behind a fence that is virtually identical to the one destroyed in the previous attack. It is a terrifying reality to know that the only thing standing between a vulnerable person and a violent intruder is a thin layer of material that can be sliced open with a single knife stroke.

On the ground, the environment is one of extreme hostility and systemic transphobia. Our transgender siblings are not just being sidelined; they are being actively hunted and dehumanized. They face daily occurrences of being stoned, beaten, and publicly shamed simply because their appearance does not conform to the rigid expectations of those around them. This violence is not random it is a targeted effort to intimidate and displace our community. The physical scars from these beatings are a constant reminder that without a fortified perimeter, the shelter remains a sanctuary in name only, unable to provide the actual security these individuals deserve.

We are now launching an urgent appeal to upgrade our defenses to something truly formidable. We need to install heavy-duty, plastic sheeting and structural reinforcements that cannot be easily cut, pulled down, or breached by those seeking to do us harm. This upgrade is a necessity to ensure that when our residents close their eyes at night, they aren't listening for the sound of a blade tearing through a plastic wall. We are asking you to stand with us in this fight for survival, your donations are the literal building blocks of our safety.

Please, help us turn this shelter into a fortress of hope where "looking different" does not mean living in fear of your life. Every contribution to our fundraiser directly funds the specialized materials required to secure our perimeter and protect our family from further brutality plus buying more mattresses, mosquito nets and more food to stay alive. No one should have to fear a stone or a blade simply for being who they are. Stand on the right side of history and help us secure our home today.

Donate here to support, everything small makes an impact.

Language is and has always been political, politics is just a fancy word for "how humans organize", and language is the basis of that. Anybody who says it is "not a big deal" is just trying to shut you up. Not treating it seriously is a component of a lot of hierarchy

For many marginalized groups, people outside of them often emphasize how "resilient" or "strong" they are in the face of their oppression. This often includes them glorifying our struggles, often seeing them as training, and denying accessibility because "why help when they're already that strong?"

An image with the text "Can I just exist without having to perform resilience?". The image has a White person with red hair and overalls sitting besides a bunch of lemons. Their head is filed with lemons and there is a lot of machines with tubes connected to it that are squeezing the lemons in different ways and holding lemon juice. There is a tagline that says allyssaCDavis

The state is a machine of mass death. We have more than enough food, and yet the law demands starvation instead of people walking into stores and taking food. We will not survive the starvation of climate change if we do not build our own tools the state does not control.

a two part poster that has the text "the government does not care. We the people must help each other!" The poster is monochrome, and the first half "the government does not care", has a black background with white text and an outline of the congress building as well as heads that are staring upwards. The second half has a white background with black outlines of a person holding a rope pulling others out of the water. The atline says "seth"

very little of the labor we do can be actively measured effectively. Very little of the essential action in society happens because people are rewarded for it. There are people all over building free access, and the state constantly destroys it

A poster by occupy everywhere with the logo of a black raised fist, the poster says "This food is free. We grew it for whomever would like to eat it. We grew it to inspire you to take action in your community. We grew it to make you rethink the ideas of public space, and the absurdity of one man being able to own more land than he can use, while millions for homeless and hungry. We are not lazy. We are not unwilling to labor. We want to directly benefit from our labor. We don't want to work so the value of our labor can be stolen to make a rich man richer. Further we do not want to work to hurt our community or environment. Radishes: pull when fully grown, greens are edible. Arugala: cut a few inches from the base as needed. Lettuce: cut a few inches from the base as needed. Red cabbage: pull when twice the size of a softball. Broccoli: cut the heads when large before they flower, greens are also edible." The poster ends with a quote from crowfoot saying "our land is more valuable than your money. It will last forever. It will not even perish by the flames of fire. As long as the sun shines and the waters flow, this land will be here to give life to men and animals. We can not sell the lives of men and animals. It was put here by the great spirit and we can not sell it because it does not belong to us."

Liberals increased police funding after the black lives matter protests

A tweet by m w bowman @mWBowman that says the fact that 40% of cops are domestic abusers and the fact that Derek Chauvin's wife chose the night he was in protective custody to file for divorce are certainly two facts from which one could draw an interesting theory" the tweet also has a meme of bart simpson looking distressed and saying "40% of cops beat their wives" and homer putting his hand on Bart's shoulder looking excited and saying "40% of cops get reported for beating their wives" If y'all wanna post this one you should name it bigger homer puts their hand on homers shoulder 40% of cops self reported beating their wives Source: Neidig, P.H., Russell, H.E. & Seng, A.F.

How do I make my texts readable to disabled individuals?

I'm writing essays for r/BiologicalAnarchy, and because I intend it to be accessible, I am planning to try divide my texts. But because I'm not really used to breaking paragraphs nor do I know how to break them, I want advice on where to break my paragraphs.

Thank you in advance.

For every fighter there are 10 supports. The only way we survive is if we eat, if we have morale, and if we can keep ourselves put together. My suggestion is to learn a skill and stick with it, we can only survive through community.

An image with a children's book style of a house on a hilly field with trees around it, there is a group of children sitting together looking at a teacher pointing to a globe and writing on a chalkboard, there's another group of children around a fire passing something around, there's another adult pumping water from a pool on the roof of the house into a watering can next to a field of plants, there is another adult working in the field with a child as another group of adults and children bake bread in a stone oven. The caption says "why is it that everyone I meet, that expects a pending societal collapse, is focused on weapons? Do you have seeds? Do you have tools? Do you know how to filter water? Where are your crafters? Who can blacksmith, work leather, sew, do carpentry? Who knows medicine, herblore, and can identify edible plants? We don't survive a collapse by killing each other. We will only survive with benevolent skilled communities working together. Get with it.

The vibe goes bad so fast when privileged people don't know you are a part of a minority group. Their unfiltered thoughts about us are so often just soul-crushing.

Accessibility and accessibility tools are complicated. Inspiration porn is reactionary propaganda, not the lived reality

An image with text, a group of people and a yellow background.
