I feel like the only reason those of us who aren't in the US are watching the inauguration today is the sort of morbid curiosity that makes people watch a car crash. It honestly feels like I'm watching people's lives and freedoms be crushed in real time.

People need to learn what ‘human rights’ actually are. The whole point is they are inalienable. No matter what atrocities someone commits, they should never be taken away.
Human rights are not a privilege.
Holy fuckshit

I'm sorry Australia. I didn't vote for him. I'm so sorry my stupid country has become fascist.
the fact that you didnt want this to happen means that its not your fault. while I may not be happy that trump won, I do not blame those who didn't vote for him. i blame the corruption that runs through so many country. i blame those who want to control others with no empathy for them. i blame people like trump for believing the "might is right" concept.
people in america that voted against trump, i do not blame you.
i blame the fucking idiots who run your country and leave you to suffer.
and so help me god if australia follows in their footsteps, I pray that the deaths in this country are smaller than we can hope.
Cases of Skin Rash are increasing everyday because of bacterial , fungal or viral infections , on the other sides alot of insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies, which act as vectors. What we are witnessing in shelter centers and displacement camps from the accumulation of stagnant water and inadequate management of waste and sanitation provides a fertile ground for disease vectors. Every day we see in our Medical point about 50 cases of multi-cause rash. 😥💔

I hate how right-wingers try to excuse spreading hateful or ignorant ideas as "just a joke" or "I'm just asking questions". Like they somehow think that jokes or questions cannot be rhetorical.
It's like some people think that ideas just don't affect the real world in any tangible form. Like they are just having a purely theoretical conversation that effects nobody at all.
People on the right need to realize that rhetoric is very capable of inspiring violence. Saying shit like "trans people are groomers" is the kind of shit that gets trans people killed.
And public figures who advocate hateful rhetoric will always try to distance themselves from the consequences of their words, saying shit like "I never said I condone violence", even when violence is the natural logical conclusion of their words. Yall cannot act like implying that Jews run the world is not a call to action to commit violence against them, that is pure bullshit.
Not to be dramatic but this is a massive fucking deal and I legitimately hope every single politician dies.
Am I the only one who on the other hand just gets exhausted from school and absolutely hates it, but on the other hand I can't stop thinking about other girls and women who can't go to school because they're not allowed to.
It always makes me realize how lucky I am that I was born in a Western country and not in countries where women have (almost) no rights, but it is still so unfair why this even exists in 2025 (!). That there are still not equal rights for everyone everywhere in the world. Even the 'richer' countries know what is going on, but are doing absolutely nothing to stop it.
While the EU can be very progressive with its initiatives, its still very conservative towards certain things. Even if you don't think its still happening in your country, it probably is. Research and surverys are done about it, and in a survey in my country (conducted and posted last year) 11 out of 35 survey answers claimed that they (majority gay males) were there not of their own free will! There are still roughly 20+ conversion camps/practises in my country! Even if your goverment is working against these things (hate crimes, conversion camps, legalisation against the rights of LGBTQ minorities, the exclusion and discrimination of those minorities) its better for the EU as a whole to work against it!

More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”
[ The physical wounds of Gaza children might have healed, but they live with enduring psychological trauma ]
"B-but Palestinians can get their freedom with peace not violence 🥺🥺" no. Screw your feelings. The armed resistance against colonizers and murderers is what will give Palestinians their freedom and what will eventually achieve real peace.
An enemy that bombs and uses white phosphorus against civilians doesn't know nor practice what your broken moral compass describes as "peace". Freedom was proven throughout history not to be achieved through kneeling and asking the oppressor to kindly stop. Freedom needs to be taken by force. Your little Utopian way of thinking doesn't work in the real world. Your feelings don't matter because you're not the one living under occupation. Your feelings don't matter because you're not one of the thousands of children who lost their limbs. You're not one of the children who became orphans due to this genocide. You're not the mother who lost her child to the carpet bombing. You're not the father carrying the remains of your child in plastic bags. You're not the newlywed woman who lost her husband. You're not the one at risk of either getting killed any second or losing your loved ones in the blink of an eye!
"Peace" is not really a thing you see during a live ethnic cleansing!
As of the 19th of December, 2023, there is new transgender guidance for education in Britain. To put it bluntly, it’s awful.
(All of the screenshots and information are from the itvNews article published on this day)
The first alarming aspect comes under changing pronouns. According to this, schools are allowed to simply decline a change in pronouns. This is completely unacceptable, considering that adding or subtracting a single syllable from a sentence is not a chore. In a society, wherein female teachers can very easily go from being referred to as Miss to Mrs, it is hypocritical to deny someone the right to be referred to correctly.
Secondly, what are the ‘other options’ referenced here? Does that include denying the child of preferred pronouns, or maybe educating them on why there are not who they say they are? This non-clarity raises important questions that are conveniently ignored.
The third concern comes under the physical education and sport section, as seen here. What concerns me is the implied idea that it would be dangerous and unfair for two children of opposite sexes to interact in a sport together. At all. That a 12 year old boy and a 12 year old girl would come out of a game of football together permanently damaged is such a common idea is barbaric. At this point, it is not only an issue of transphobia, but sexism, as well, to insinuate that - most likely - a girl will be terrorised by playing with a boy. Furthermore, it suggests that they must be kept apart for their safety!
All in all, say what you really want to say; either you don’t think girls are the same as boys, or you don’t want transgender people to live happy lives.
I genuinely don’t know how to end this. It’s just insane to me that this is a society that preaches equality and freedom, and yet treats its population like we’re back in the 1900s. Get a fucking grip.
reminder to keep your immigrant family members safe and that they’re detaining citizens too, be aware of your surroundings and of your rights. this behavior is disgusting and I’m scared for my native american family members
Okay so a lot of MAGA voters are regretting their vote and my first thought was definitely “lmao get fucked, live with it like the marginalized groups you’ve forced this hell upon” but my second thought was that if us folks on the left decide to shun these people who’ve left MAGA we’re setting the precedent that there’s no point in deciding to change for the better and they should just stay with the nazis because they’ll be ostracized either way. The best time to stop supporting a fascist is before you do so in the first place but the second best time is now. It does truly take real strength to admit you’ve fucked up so incredibly badly as to help elect a nazi. It’s okay to be angry at the people who are somehow only now realizing trump won’t help them, and you don’t have to be friends with someone who did that, but as a collective let’s not turn them back to the nazis. Every person counts. Every person who decides to get off the MAGA train is one less person backing a fascist dictator.
my problem is, i dont give a damn when random folks say this shit to me because there are no emotional stakes -- i have no clue who the fuck u are and vice versa so i dont give a damn telling u to fuck off all the way to the deepest depths of the ocean.
its when ur friends and family says this shit to u.
because u know most of the time, they're trying to understand. they're not TRYING to be transphobic, meaning their intention is not to make me feel badly about my identity nor my decision to medically transition. it still makes a pit drop in my stomach every time i have to defend myself in a gods-be-damned debate about my personal autonomy; and i have no idea how to tell friends and family and people i love that they're pushing a negative stereotype without realizing while also begging for the eradication of discrimination and oppression within their own marginalized communities -- essentially acting hypocritical without meaning to because they don't fucking know any better which is why they're talking to me about it.
i love teaching. i love informing people and having discussions and learning from anyone i can, even kids -- i guess im just tired of being a walking example to teach people about how to interact with queer or disabled folks. im a normal human being who's grown and who's made their own decisions for the past decade.
people have invented so many different ways of rephrasing "don't transition" to sound plausibly progressive enough to bystanders that they'll think trans people are over-dramatic for reacting negatively to it.
medical transition is permanent so you should really consider it thoroughly and put off trying it unless you know for sure. yes, just keep second guessing yourself. 6 months, 3 years, 20 years...
you might not like how you look. other people might not like how you look. you might not look cis. don't you want to be desirable? do you want to risk feeling worse and more insecure? you look so good now! we think you're so hot right now, and you wouldn't want to change your body and make it not hot to us, right?
you are so valid if you don't transition. you don't need to transition. no one needs to transition. it's just cosmetic, it's just aesthetic, it's all optional and means nothing at all. (no, of course this is unrelated to arguments used for insurance not covering transition, or doctors denying care.)
why do you even want to transition? are you trying to look cis? are you trying to adhere to beauty standards? are you doing this to look hot? that's regressive and outdated and assimilationist. (if you want us to take your politics seriously, you shouldn't transition)
it's a waste of resources/privileged/bourgeois to transition. it's kind of morally suspect that you would transition and still ask for help ever in your life. why should we support someone who's transitioning if they're obviously not oppressed anyway.
DIY HRT is too dangerous. you could hurt your body. you could get arrested. your life will probably end if you take HRT. if you can't access HRT legally, you just shouldn't take it. not for transphobic reasons!! just for your own sake <3
like when will it end
quite a while ago my stepmother texted me once to tell me i should be ashamed of myself and that the family absolutely would be because i reposted something along the lines of Luigi Mangione being innocent and the shooter being generally morally correct on my instagram story that was linked to my facebook account from 3 years ago that i forgot about. she told me that she didn't want to see something like that on my instagram story anymore because murder is wrong no matter what context it's in. i told her that she has absolutely no interest in understanding my view on the situation so i wouldn't be apologizing nor taking the post down, and i de-linked my instagram page from my facebook before deleting that account and that app.
now, i will share my thoughts about that conversation to all of you because she cant find me here i need to get it out of my head and off my chest.
if she were a normal human being who respected the opinions of her family, these are the statements and questions i would pose to her:
1. she has told me that she would kill a man to protect me, my father and our dogs, so her logic would put her in the exact same scenario the shooter/Mangione is in at this very moment - on trial for a life sentence or in hiding from the law for premeditated first degree.
2. UnitedHealthcare is notoriously known for denying claims for terminally ill patients for years, to the point where they had the highest claim denial in 2023 - 1/3rd of their claims were denied that year. UHC is arguably the biggest fucking health insurance provider in the world, u do the math of 1/3rd of 49 million people. the life of one wealthy white man, who yes had a family and a board of directors that he had to listen to, in comparison to 16,331,700 other lives, other people with families and jobs just like him - acting as though this is to be seen as anything else but a message about the system is simply defending the system.
3. sure Brian Thompson could've just been trying to do his job, or he could've been unaware of just how many people he was screwing over regularly - anything is possible so i'll give the naysayers that. misinformation and ignorance are common in wealthy white people, a fact with which im sure we're all familiar. however, the Orange Cheeto and his gang of greasy fat potato chips have already proven within four months of his second presidency that in this world, money can get you absolutely anything if you offer it to the right people.
does it not stand to reason, then, that as a white man in charge of one of the biggest moneymakers on the planet, Brian Thompson could have used his position to ensure that his company wasn't using artificial intelligence to deny claims automatically? does it not stand to reason that, just as the military under the UCMJ can deny and refuse an unlawful order, this man could have refused to listen to whichever "higher-up" who "ordered" him to deny all these claims?
finally, she's an intelligent woman - if Luigi Mangione was really the shooter, you mean to tell me that he decided to 3D print his gun, do the shooting and leave the monopoly money and bullet casings there, but NOT leave the manifesto "found" in his backpack (which the police literally took away from the scene of the crime and brought back before finding any of the above mentioned items in it)? you're telling me after murdering one of the most important (pfft) men in the world, the dude went n chilled at mickey d's like i do on my godsbedamned lunch hour?
PLEASE be fuckin fr, anyone can see from a mile away how the government is basically trying and failing to make this innocent man's trial into a Broadway-level production to distract society from the actual world-destroying laws and bills they're trying to put into place, and if u cant see that congrats the pigs have u fooled and they're going to eat YOU, not the other way around.
anyway thanks ma for opening this tangent to tumblr dot com bye
i hope whoever actually shot that CEO is having a good day.
there's a lesson that people dont seem to have learned which is insane to me if you've watched game of thrones bc my queen mother Lady Olenna said it herself,
"sometimes we must ally with our rivals to defeat our enemies",
or something to that effect.
the seven kingdoms were fighting a war over the iron throne, while a millions-strong undead army marched towards civilization in an attempt to conquer it. no one focused on the undead army part early enough tho, because they were too busy fighting and killing each other over who got to be in charge.
you may despise conservatives, Cheeto voters or the Republican party itself, you may even hate them. its a valid perspective to have, BUT
those people are, at the baseline, in the same position as you - at one point they may have been misinformed and misguided by the system, their families, their churches, etc. etc. and they are fighting wholeheartedly for what they believe is right. some of those people are now finally deconditioning themselves from those positions because they are seeing, watching, LEARNING that the system does not infact favor them if they are not part of the 1%, and they are seeing, watching, LEARNING that the things they voted for that they thought didn't affect them do infact impact them majorly, because of the fact that
i understand the urge to shame people for participating in the oppression and discrimination that has been happening for centuries in this country, and some of the people im talking about DO deserve it because they REFUSE to change, BUT
refusing to celebrate those people who have only just been truly introduced to our side of things, to our perspectives and experiences is counterproductive. im not saying be nice to bigots, i'm saying be welcoming to ex-bigots and educate them in a way that doesn't make it seem like you're looking down on them for not knowing - thats what the government is doing to immigrants, trans folks and disabled individuals.
we will do more damage as a united front. dont immediately attack; if you see a good fighter on someone else's team, the best way to move is to get them on yours instead.
I think it’s important to note that in the US there’s been a lot of older people, conservatives, people from red states, and Drump voters themselves participating in protests and pushing back in town halls. Conservative judges are ruling against the current administration.
You don’t have to like these people but I want to emphasize that when fighting against authoritarianism it doesn’t help to be picky with your allies. Keep going to protests and if former Drump voters join you in those protests, good.
first things first here's my linktree
ok so uh my name is riku, some people call me ricky or roo for short. im 21 years old born on the summer solstice, Brazilian Japanese Romany, transmasc enby, demipan and partnered to a cis dude (emotionally intelligent black excellence tyvm), mentally disabled (ADHD, high functioning autism, cptsd, BPD, fragmented identity symptoms, etc etc), and physically disabled; my mother's family was a performing arts troupe in São Paulo and Registro and i had an accident that my leg didn't heal from correctly - that and spinal/hip injuries from my childhood have left me with a limp since i was seven years old. i walk with a cane now, as i may have mentioned in other posts.
im a full sail graduate, i majored in rhetoric composition/literary studies and minored in abnormal psychology, i'm planning to going back to get my journalism degree - right now i'm a TA for my old prof.'s rhet. comp. course and i also help grade papers for an elementary class, i have a CSR day job but i get it all done.
this next bit is gonna sound a little batshit bananas but roll with me here
there is a sort of alter ego or other consciousness in my brain named Onryoko who is a separate individual from me, as well as a spiritual entity that was said to be demonic in origin that takes up space in my psyche - It doesn't want me sharing It's name yet. my pronouns are i/he/they, Onryoko's pronouns are ele/elu/one/oneself, and It's pronouns are It/Itself - sometimes if one is more alert one will use we/us as pronouns as well. let me be clear - i do not have a dissociative identity disorder diagnosis, nor do i feel the need to get one as i interpret the two of them as manifestations of my higher consciousness and links to the spiritual world - i'm in control and i choose when i allow one or the other to be conscious with me, i don't black out or have amnesia or anything like that. if i am crossing any boundaries or anything or if u know of any communities on here i might relate to please let me know, this is simply how i was raised to deal with this.
Onryoko is whats called o receptáculo for the demonic entity that my grandmother (obatian) on my father's side clocked and neutralized when i was a baby cuz she serves cunt like that, and with that comes being a 3rd gen shaman - Onryoko essentially is our higher self? is how my obatian explained it. i found Chaos magick when i was 15 and the rest is kinda history. Onryoko has another blog dedicated to all that and we're working on content creation for spirituality and occultism; one does free tarot readings right now until i get our shops figured out, if ur interested in that kinda thing come meet us up here ----> @onryoko 🔮
other than that uhhhhhhh i main magik on marvel rivals (ps5 handle is onryoko963, rivals handle is ONRYOKO) im a Cancer sun Leo moon Cancer rising, andddddd i rlly like swimming cuz its the only exercise i can do where i dont die immediately. im very sarcastic and ive been told i have a very "fuck u" energy irl so idk if that will translate here. i dont mean to be mean and if u tell me im being mean i'll make sure im not asap :) ok thats it thanks byeee
dawg i watched his hearing for the position, anyone in that room coulda shoulda woulda known he was SUPREMELY unqualified for that bullshit - but ofc, money talks.
Pete Hegseth has done it again, boys. He’s sharing military intel in a group chat with his wife and his personal lawyer
