August 21, 1971: Assassination of Comrade George Jackson, revolutionary communist and Black Panther Party prison leader.
He said in his book “Soledad Brother”: “I met Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, Engels and Mao … and they redeemed me. For the first four years, I studied nothing but economics and military ideas.“
He joined the Black Panther Party from his jail cell and wrote about the difference between reform and revolution in his last book, “Blood in My Eye”:
“Reshuffle the government personnel and forms, without changing property relations and economic institutions, and you have produced simply another reform stage in the old bourgeois revolution. The power to alter the present imbalances … rests with control over production and distribution of wealth….
“Revolutionary change means the seizure of all that is held by the 1 percent, and the transference of these holdings into the hands of the remaining 99 percent. If the 1 percent are simply displaced by another 1 percent, revolutionary change has not taken place.”

TERFS: trans women are men and men are evil therefore trans women are evil
TIRFS: trans men are men and men are evil therefore trans men are evil
Intersectional feminists: no gender is evil, masculinity is not inherently aggressive, the problem is that men are encouraged by the patriarchy to be aggressive and violent, and men need to unlearn these patterns to be better people.

It wasn't easy for me to say this because I'm a girl and it's a sensitive thing for us but it started affecting me and causing uterine diseases & infections...I suffered greatly from using pieces of cloth instead of sanitary pads, but I never imagined the damage would be so severe. Please, I am a girl in need of your help.

I say "death to america" because "america" wants me dead. America wants to kill my loved ones and all my dreams. So yes. Death to america.
I say "death to america" because "america" loves death most of all. Thousands of us dying every week from COVID and all "america" can do for us is bomb refugee camps and starve children to death. Death to america, because america deserves death for all this death they have inflicted on the world. Death to america because the end of america will be the beginning of justice.

Queer culture includes erotic content!
[ID: a post by webster @ quacking.online which reads "the problem, as i see it, is not that censoring erotic content is a slippery slope to censoring LGBTQ+ culture. it's that censoring erotic content IS (is) LGBTQ+ culture."
There is a reply by OP underneath which says "i'm not interested in some sort of disneyfied unsexy LGBTQ+ community being preserved. that's not us. that's not our history. you can't take the 'sex' out of 'homosexual'. i don't give a crystal shit if you can still steam 'love, simon'. the freaks and queers i know are making porn." /End ID]

I suffer from severe depression, a lingering OCD, CPSTD, fatigue, and strange blackouts that often result in my phone slipping from my hand or me bumping into walls.
I'm now dealing with a 480 $ (it used to be 340$ a couple of days ago and then not only the fees multiplied like ants, but I find myself needing cash for medical care) overdraft, while needing urgently to cover transportation costs, medical expenses, and much needed toiletry.
Oh, and also clothing and apparel as seams are slowly wearing down in every other corner.
This means that not only do I need to raise the 480 $ to refund my overdraft, but I also need to raise 480$ as a general goal. I hate it, but it's somewhat urgent and time sensitive.
81/1160$
31/260$

*edited to add: This has been edited once again to speak about the urgency of my situation. I'm drowning over there. I was thinking of making another post asking for a smaller amount but let me do here. I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH OVERDRAFT FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES, GROCERIES, TRANSPORTATION WHILE STILL IN NEED OF 80$ SO NOW THEY'VE TURNED INTO 260 $ OF IMMEDIATE DEBT TO DEAL WITH.

You will never catch me disrespecting the "protect the dolls" movement and the allies who are speaking up against transphobia and supporting trans women. But your allyship NEEDS to include trans men too.
You are not a trans ally if you don't include all trans people, not just the women and fem presenting ones. Supporting and speaking out for trans women is a great start, but we need to start acknowledging trans men too.
SUPPORT THE DOLLS AND THE ACTION FIGURES (idk what the entirely gender-neutral term is, if yk please tell moi!)
I get that this is meant to be cute and affectionate and if you like this sort of thing then i love that for you, but I'm also 100% here for folks who don't want to be (quite literally) objectified by this language.
I have always treated the term "doll" as something that I, who am not a trans woman, am not going to call trans women. It's a term for trans women to use as they please. The rest of us can just call them women. Presuming to use terms like this when I am not part of the specific group feels weird and invasive to me.
I'm transmasc and most certainly not an "action figure." I'm a person who deserves to be treated like a person, not a toy.
We can just be trans people and we can just say "support and protect (especially Black) trans people." Not everything has to be stolen from 80s ballroom culture and not everything has to be a "fun" kitschy meme, especially when it is our literal lives on the line.
