if theres one thing i do hope for this election its that there are enough write-in hamas votes that it has to be covered on national news

Graveyards hold no fear for me, as I’m descended from a long line of dead people.

ACCESSIBLE GARDENING FOR PEOPLE WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

So important!

[“accessible gardening for people with physical disabilities: a guide to methods, tools and plants” by Janeen R. Adil]

message to all bitches

please survive

trans women do not only start to experience oppression or harassment when they start to present as women, and trans men do not stop experiencing oppression or harassment when they start to present as men. when you exist outside the status quo of the sex and gender binaries you experience these things constantly through your whole life, both before and after transitioning. the idea that trans women were "socialized male" and so grew up not experiencing sexism is bullshit. the idea that trans men have as much privilege as cis men and get to just stop experiencing sexism when they transition is also bullshit. both these statements are transphobic and are meant to diminish our experiences

This also implies that no men experience harassment ever and that's just wrong. Men harrass other men who in their opinion look a bit too left or femme or gay or not-from-here. Women harrass men who look a bit too left or femme or gay or not-from-here.

Please for god's sake stop perpetuating this notion that somehow all cis men are immune to being harassed, threatened or hurt in exactly the same way women, trans people, and everyone else is.

Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3

Sharing this again for anyone who could use a few seconds of peace and light today for whatever reason.

Pursing his lips while he examined the “I Vorted” sticker displayed on his jacket, local man Doug Matney was beginning to worry Tuesday that the place where he had cast his ballot wasn’t a legitimate polling site. “I was headed into the community center, but then this woman out front directed me to the building three doors down, which, now that I really look at it, seems to be an abandoned warehouse,” said Matney, noting that he began to have suspicions about the authenticity of the polling station when he saw that the American flag displayed inside had only a handful of stars but hundreds of stripes.

Sunday Comix: “Settings”

i got the high score for most irritated anyone has ever been and my body exploded into clear and beautiful water droplets that nourished the ground where i stood and now trees and flowers taller that you could ever imagine grow in that spot and provide shelter to creatures great and small

esims are low again. check out connecting humanity for more information on directly sending esims or for a linked to crips for esims for gaza's fundraising. you can also set up a recurring donation on chuffed for esims. i have a weekly donation here because being able to keep as many people as possible connected to the rest of the world is critical for documenting the situation and allowing individuals to continue their own grassroots fundraising/organizing

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.
