I Try Not To Put Political Things On My Blog But Today I'm Just Tired. I Was Raised By My Grandmother.

I try not to put political things on my blog but today I'm just tired. I was raised by my grandmother. She survived the bombing in Ulm, Germany. She was pulled out of a collapsing hospital where she worked as a nurse. She told me she was running through the street and the shockwave took the heads off of children in front of her as she ran. She was 17 and all she did during the war was freeze and take care of her siblings and community. A million fucked up things happened to her including sexual assault by a nazi soldier and She had a C-section with no anesthesia because there were no doctors.

In Hawaii, where she has been since she was 23, the u.s military would bomb Kaho'olawe with military tests. She would get flashbacks and panic attacks because of the bombing she experienced. In my lifetime, since the early 90s, I could see she still holds trauma. After decades of being away from war. She is terrified of saying anything bad about the government. She can't handle fireworks. Her family has been in shambles since the war. There are countless little day to day things I've seen her go through to try to cope with her trauma. I couldn't even convince her to get an MRI when she was 92 years old. She took my hand and she said "Don't let me go in that tube. I can't go in a tube like that. It will make me think of being trapped in that tunnel. I can't be trapped in that tunnel again."

And she is a white Catholic cis woman with all the sympathy in the world given to her as a civilian victim. So please, for a second, try to imagine the lasting trauma the people in Gaza are facing. They did not experience one night of bombings. It hasn't stopped. The suffering, the need for aid, the need to humanize these people, it's not going to stop. It's going to take their lifetimes for them to try to achieve some normalcy, if they make it out alive at all. The least we can do right now is humanize these people and plead with whoever we can. I don't care if it's uncomfortable. Talk to people who disagree with you. Try to get them to understand that the people of Gaza are human beings who don't deserve this lifetime of trauma; of SUFFERING we as Americans are helping to set up for them. Plead with whoever you can and make them realize they don't deserve this.

Guys be on the alert that someone has threatened to k!ll Hyunjin on the 15/07/23 ( tday), 01/08/23 or the 10/08/23. This is unacceptable, JYPE needs to protect it's idols this cannot go on any longer. SKZ have done so much for us and it's sad how someone can stoop to such a low level that they would threaten someone. If you see something report it, don't ignore it.

Please reblog & share to spread awareness.

hey guys! i don't usually talk about this type of stuff but it needs to be talked about. I'm scared for skz. there is absolutely no reason their lives should be in danger for doing what they love. for people to follow seungmin to the BATHROOM, for people to shine blinding lasers in chan and Felix eyes, and for people to threaten to do horrible things to leeknow, you guys are sick and twisted and show on full display what is wrong with this evil world. these boys give so much to their job and have provided me with so much joy. to see them hurt this way actually makes me sick. jype needs to GET THEM HELP NOW. these are human beings and might I add the breadwinners of your company, keep them safe. if anything happens to skz it will be the fault of those who are too ignorant to fix this situation now!

my heart hurts for skz because of how loving and open they are towards fans just to be threatened like this. nobody deserves this and all I pray is that skz will be safe and that the real fans can keep encouraging them to keep going. seeing them hurt is so sad after they give so much. :(

Reblog if you’re black tumblr

and yes you have to be black, this isn’t an all access typa club

Seeing the cripplepunk discourse is honestly scary because ultimately it's just another wave of ableds sweeping in and attempting to disperse phys disabled people from community and shutting down conversation of phys disabled experiences.

It's almost as if it's an isolation tactic, hmmm,, Where have I seen this before?

Oh right! The ugly laws that went on all the way until the 70s! Where we were hidden from the public to make it appear that we did not exist because just being alive makes ableds uncomfortable! And because this happened, so much information about phys disability has been either lost to time or is extremely behind on up-to-date modern documentation!!! It's also a reason why the medical industry is such a mess and is filled with malpractice!!!! That's terrifying!!!

I know this isn't nowhere near as big of a scale as those atrocities, but you can't deny that in simple terms, that's exactly what y'all are doing, because even if we did make a NEW space for strictly phys disabled, y'all would drop cripplepunk in a heartbeat to sink your claws into the new one too. I also wouldn't be surprised if y'all demonized it to shame phys disabled people from seeking it out.

It's not about the label, it's about shutting physically disabled people out.

That "MERDs" bullshit is to demonize phys disabled people who fight back. It is absolutely just an opening to harass the outspoken members of our community and to eventually silence us all, I can see right through this thinly veiled "discourse".

And I know damn well that's what this is because y'all don't act like this towards neuropunk or madpunk.

Please reblog and spread the word, don't let them spin this. Physically disabled people deserve respect, safety, and community.

To whom it may concern, lsrael is using white phosphorus against the children of Gaza Strip.

you support bi people? okay then unfollow those popular mutuals you have who have biphobic ideals, stop thinking bi people have straight-passing privilege, stop thinking bi women are secretly straight girls pretending to be lgbt for popularity, stop thinking bi men are secretly gay men who can’t come to terms with the fact that they’re actually gay, stop portraying us in fiction as liars & cheaters, stop insisting that our sexuality is trans exclusive, & for the love of god stop claiming that every time we call out biphobia from other lgbt we’re being bigoted (there’s LOADS of actual bigotry you can call people out on). Until you fit all of this into your daily life I won’t believe you when you say you support us.
