Yeesss, this tiktok explains it really well, like we're all existing in the same place,
#onhere
so it makes us feel like we're all at the same stage of development and experience, which is not the case
Political commentator Jackson Hinkle allocates his International Journalism Award to honor the 70+ Palestinian journalists who were massacred by Israel.
Reminder: The United States never went on lockdown.
Ever.
That never happened.
Some businesses and government run services closed and/or restricted access but you were still allowed to go outside and you did.
It's easier for y'all to empathize with a racist than it is for y'all to empathize with Black folks responding to anti-Blackness.
I hate every single one of you.
Y'all hold A LOT of resentment for Black queers and I really need y'all to unpack that because, and I mean this very seriously, it's killing us.
Your resentment confines us to small, vulnerable communities and it's why Dahmer was able to do what he did.
This is all designed to make being an accomplice to Black folks expensive.
This is supposed to make an "example" of Jessie for saying the mildest thing. It's meant to cost her and to "put us in our place".
Jordan Neely's murder got me thinking about my standards for "allyship" and why they're so high.
People watched this man get murdered b/c they were uncomfortable with his behavior. Allyship should hurt. Any "ally" needed to be willing to step in and get choked out themselves. 1/
You wanna know a secret?
A whole lot of self-described leftists have essentially this exact same position. They just use words like "COVID fatigue", "anxiety", and "but the CDC says..."
Congrats on having basically the same position as a genocidal ethnostate. Love that for you.
Major General Giora Eiland, former head of the Israeli National Security Council, writes that Israel should encourage, not shy away from, the spread of epidemics and humanitarian disasters among the 2.3M Palestinians in occupied Gaza to reach victory faster.
#GenocideEnabler
When I teach climate change this is a common thing that's brought up.
It's extremely wrong.
10% of the world's population consumes something like 50 or 90% (I can't remember which) of the world's resources. 1/
I don't really wade into this stuff much anymore but I just wanna chime in and scream that WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO.
BLACK PEOPLE BEEN SAID THAT SHE'S A FUCKING GHOUL AND HAD YOU LISTENED WHEN WE FIRST POINTED IT OUT WE WOULDN'T BE HERE.
"You can't change anything so stop trying."
You are so goofy.
You think we don't know it would sell well? We are aware.
The message wasn't for the general population. It was for people who want to be allies (accomplices preferred).
Why do you need to talk so much?
ppl who want to boycott the game aren’t wrong to hate jk rowling, she’s awful. except it’s fruitless no matter how much trans folks want to push for it. it’s like trying to boycott disney. most ppl have no idea/ don’t care about jk rowling at all & they just wanna go to hogwarts

Okay, now that I have your attention please:
1. Wear a mask.
2. Do not attend non-essential large social gatherings
3. Demand that our institutions prioritize public health.
4. Non-binary people are not to blame for Republican eliminationist bullshit.
Queer folks are allowed to be mad about it.
We're also allowed not to be mad about it.
Neither response is wrong and queer folks aren't doing anything coming at each other over what a cis man (Black or otherwise) did. Disagreement is fine.
If y'all wanna know why I gatekeep AAE/AAVE so hard this is why.
I take it not only as a sign of disrespect but as damn near a threat. Y'all take words, spread them, and kill our ability to communicate illegibly.
Cultural appropriation is a bad thing, turns out. Colonizers.
@Melamamii
@Champagneriqo1
Niggas don't be talking about the poor Black surburban kids either cause I knew plenty of them.
Sure af found then ASAP when I had to be in the burbs.
Finally a Hobie cosplay that understood the assignment.
Hobie is punk and as it stands currently one of the most punk things you can do is wear a mask.
Idk why OP said twin tho I only see one Hobie cosplay.
I'd also recommend subbing to her YT.
She makes content talking about important issues but she also makes really fun and really great Star Trek content!
She's been a steadfast accomplice and for that has more than earned my support. 2/
i lowkey think my college is trying to slowly ban keffiyehs bc we got an email today talking abt how concealing our faces with masks or “fabrics” isnt allowed anymore and the only time we conceal our identity is during our palestinian protests with keffiyehs and face masks…
Couple things this (ongoing) pandemic has taught me:
1. People don't actually know what their values are.
2. People are lying to themselves about their values.
3. People tend to abandon their stated values once they reach their comfort/belief threshold.

@KatyMontgomerie
Hey,
If you happen to read this Katy's DMer you can DM and we should talk because I had these same thoughts for a really long time and learned something about myself a few years ago.
Two white women debating slavery puts a very, very bad taste in my mouth. Why, when these things happen, do y'all ALWAYS go to us?
Pick literally anything else.
Population growth is happening primarily in poorer countries.
I'll let you all guess which countries are the ones doing the most consuming.
Overpopulation is a racist myth.
It's not even a problem in rich countries. The populations there are stable or declining. 2//
@Kalifornica
@magpiekilljoy
You cannot bargain or buy from people you own.
That relationship is extremely lopsided. Any money given to those people is irrelevant. They were enslaved.
Fuck your discomfort. Fuck your fear. I don't trust you nor believe you until you demonstrate to me that you're willing to endure significant pain for the values you purport to hold.
Because if you don't then I can't trust you to step in when it counts. 2//
Y'all really turned noodles into an anti-Asian dogwhistle at the direction of a self-described left wing streamer who was (and may still be) friends with some of the most popular and well known political activists I just...
We're so fucked.
Most people I see in public, regardless of age, don't mask.
Brainwashing complete. This sign is fucking ridiculous.
Freeing Palestine INCLUDES disability justice. Period. End of story. No discussion to be had.
Hey,
Controversial opinion apparently:
Call people the names they ask to be called. It's outrageous that I'm seeing some well known trans people debate the meaning of deadname to justify calling someone they don't like out her name.
What the fuck is wrong people?
I don't wanna name names cause I think Soulbunni wants it that way but those of you who are fans of and associate with a certain group of "leftist" streamers...idk, man. You look a lot like fascists. That's all imma say.
This is a serious video that I beg of you to stop and watch. I don’t know what to do. I hate having to even speak up when I’ve long separated myself from everything. I don’t know what to do when I’m being dehumanized to this degree for content. I literally have midterms next week
This is a perfect example of why I avoid systems analysis and am working on the theory I am.
People use the larger systems as an excuse for their own behavior (that reifies said systems) and don't want to feel bad. It ends in little to no change. 1/
Mind you these people keep reducing it to the "most toxic of left Twitter" like well known and respected intellectuals and academics haven't also called out the blatant racism.
I hate these people.
My Japanese grandmother has been dead for years and most of the rest of my Japanese family got nuked but I heard each one of them individually scream in my ear when you said FUCKING KETCHUP
Never ever ever going to forget
@Esqueer_
saying that mentioning that Black trans people die at the highest rates among trans folks is reductive.
Never.
Racist.
At this point what is there to say?
The people in charge of this planet have made their priorities clear.
I think we need to be preparing, turning to those around us we trust, and building our collective capacity to care for ourselves.
Free Palestine.
This is just pre-gamergate shit all over again.
Gonna be a whole lot of reaping and a whole lot of OMG WHAT HAPPENED in a few years and whole lot of Black folks looking like this
Elmo has turned this place into right wing propaganda.
These "community notes" are just lies at this point and it's because he didn't like when he got got by it.
Good morning! A reminder that healthcare for transgender people is settled science. Every major medical association supports this critical life-saving care.
If your explanation doesn't start with, "White queer who shields themselves from criticism using their queerness," then it's wrong.
You all love to take shit and morph it into something else.
Did the same shit with Karen.
THREAD: What is a tenderqueer?
The “Don’t Get Mad At Me” Disclaimer:
I myself participate in much of this. My goal is simply to spell out a mindset that reinforces queer alienation.
Imo no one is really asking celebs to be leaders.
What I've seen are specific asks akin to what people demand of corporations. "Pull your movie," or, "At least say *something*" isn't asking people to be Civil Rights leaders. It's bare minimum type shit.
Others have said it but Japan is not homogenous. Not even a little bit.
They have what they have in large part because of the fucked up shit they've done to basically all of their neighbors.
Their right wing just happens to like social programs more. 1/
America will never be like this because we aren’t a homogenous nation.
The Netherlands, Japan, these places have things like this, because it’s one main race united for a common goal
😭🥴
Being Black and trans and having your Black ass family accept you is so amazing.
I wish every Black queer had this. It's such a tragedy that this has to be an event for me.
We need to be free.
Genocide is not insane
It is perfectly logical
If your values are fucked up they lead to this. It is a logical final step in a line of logic that follows a defined value system.
Genocide makes perfect sense if your values dehumanize an oppressed group
Stop calling it crazy
You walk around maskless and infect people willingly.
You organize via unions and infect workers you say you're fighting for.
You organize maskless protests and infect those around you while screaming for liberation. Oblivious. Callous.
Okay, I'm done with the discourse now.
Been RTing while I clean but I want to make sure I say thank you to
@KiraChats
& Aranock and everyone else who showed up to keep us company.
We organized a fundraiser in <12 hours and raised over $27k for trans lifeline. 1/
@IwriteOK
Give people drugs, but also a safe place to use them AND access to treatment.
Turns out, when you don't coerce people and treat them like throwaway filth, they decide they want to get better on their own in larger numbers.
Wild. Turns out people like their ability to choose.
It's why we're killed or disappeared in the darkness and every time you lash out at us, silence us, or insist that we shut up you deepen our vulnerabilities.
We're loud because we have to be.
We don't need fascist mobs, we already die in the shadows.
@joesca98
Idk, I don't care much about the award. Mostly that I've seen people boosting this fuckwit everywhere.
Anything he's saying is being said by someone else with a better understanding of the situation.
I'll have to write a poem about it and figure out how to make a larger point but I wanted to talk about Ye and Chappelle and my relationship to them as a closeted Black teenager. 🧵
I asked Illinois Sen.
@TammyDuckworth
at a news conference today in Pilsen if she’s willing to call for a ceasefire.
“I am not willing to call for a ceasefire at this point because that would not help the residents of Gaza nor would it help the security of Israel,” she said.
I briefly fell for the men are lonely line but as Wagatwe has said before, "We're all lonely."
Loneliness doesn't drive you to abuse or violence in response to rejection.
Entitlement to another person does.
so this wasn't only about rejection. it was also intimate partner violence. separation violence makes the time after leaving an abuser extremely dangerous
I'm so embarrassed that it's Black History Month and Black so called Lefists who can't get over their ableism are getting packed up by non-Black people.
Y'all are so 🥴
No, the Black Panthers were some of the fiercest allies of disabled people and I’m pretty sure they’d hate this take.
They served hot food day in and day out for disability activists participating in the 504 Sit-in resulting in the Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
Make no mistake.
Every single one of you ignoring COVID for your own comfort are complicit. Your continued callous disregard helped create the conditions that led to her death.
#longcovidkilledfiqah
Anyway this is a
@Jessiegender
appreciation post. She sticks her neck out and gets punished again and again for it but she *keeps* doing it and deserves our support.
A committed accomplice.
I don't speak about this publicly in detail but I am open about having been abusive in my past.
One of the things I did was to present myself as kind, caring, funny, hot, etc. to shared friends. This wasn't like a twisting my mustache thing but an internal victimization. 1/
