Look.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.
[IMAGE ID: tweet from ‘freetofic’ reading:
“ADHD culture is not knowing:
-when to ask for help b/c ‘overwhelmed w/things to do’ is your normal, default state
-how to ask for help b/c you don’t even know how to describe what needs doing, so organizing the help would be more work than just doing it yourself”

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.
Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.
Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.
Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.
Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.
But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?
“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”
Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.
Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.
By the time direct action is the only option, it will be too fucking late.
reblog if you think sign language should be taught as a language in schools.

Tatreez (Arabic: تطريز) is a type of traditional Palestinian embroidery. Tatreez uses traditional cross-stitch embroidery and is practiced largely among women. The craft was originally practiced in rural areas of Palestine, but is now common across the Palestinian diaspora. Historically, each village in Palestine had their own tatreez patterns. The landscape was a major source of inspiration for the patterns and motifs, which speaks to the variation in style that was common to see among all of the different tatreez expressions that were particular to each Palestinian village.
After the violent displacement and dispossession of Palestinians in 1948, people were living together in refugee camps. The different styles of tatreez became less distinct and have continued to evolve with the diaspora. Following 1948, tatreez evolved to reflect the experiences of Palestinians. Palestinian women began to incorporate the Palestinian flag and its colors into their tatreez as a means of resistance to the occupation of Palestine. Consequently, tatreez became an expression of the identity, heritage and resistance of Palestinian women and their dedication to preserve their ancient culture.

I voted for the American Woodcock bird because of their cute funky dancing walk and their prehensile beak tips.
Round 2 Group 1
American kestrel - Falco sparverius
American woodcock - Scolopax minor
Black-capped chickadee - Poecile atricapillus
Bufflehead - Bucephala albeola
Please reblog with the bird you voted for and why!
Same.
I would like it very much if Trump was not president again.

We warned you this is where this is going.
So someone stole the mounting pole that we use to dispense poop bags for dogs at one of the parks and I'm off-season so its none of my business. Except that someone posted about it on the community facebook group and said: "There's a lot of shady stuff that's going on there. I always thank the police when they drive through."
You thank the police? You thank the police why?
The police aren't the ones that replace the pole and the police aren't the ones that replace the tiny free library that someone set fire to, that's US. That's the parks people. Parks and Rec are the people you should be thanking. Only thing the police do are sit on their asses and watch people speeding down the street and not catch them.
"There should be plenty of money for security cameras with the police budget" YES! There is! But the police don't pay for the security cameras at the parks.
You know who pays for parks security cameras?
Parks and Rec pays for security cameras at the parks.
If you give money to the police for security cameras at the parks they'll grind it up into a fine powder and snort it with a hundred dollar bill that you also gave them just for being cops.
And I also don't want security cameras at the parks. People should allowed to just exist. Like I don't give a fuck if someone is sleeping on the bench up by the playground- he's literally 50 feet away from any kids and goddamn just let the man sleep.
"Always thank the cops?" For why? They didn't stop them from stealing the pole, either.
So many people do not understand the relationship between climate change and cold weather.
