"but aces and aros can be in relationships"
Yes, I know that, but do YOU know that aces and aros in relationships are still aces and aros? Do you internalize that? Are you aware that we don't just suddenly turn straight, or gay or anything else?
Yes, even demis
Are you aware that a sex repulsed asexual will still be sex repulsed even in a relationship, and so, might never fuck you?
Are you aware that a romance repulsed aro will still be romance repulsed even in a seemingly normative relationship and might not like doing typical romantic gestures and activities?
Are you aware that a sex neutral or positive asexual might not actually be sexually attracted to you at all even if they do fuck you?
Are you aware that a romance neutral or positive aro might not actually be romantically into you even if they are comfortable with typical romantic gestures?
Are you aware that our identities are just as permanent as yours?
Tell the Trump Administration What REAL Censorship Is
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is soliciting public comment "to better understand how technology platforms deny or degrade (such as by 'demonetizing' and 'shadow banning') users’ access to services based on the content of the users’ speech or their affiliations, including activities that take place outside the platform."
This is the brainchild of FTC Chairman and rabid Trumpista Andrew Ferguson, who recently said that DEI "violates natural law." He is hoping these comments will say that social media companies are persecuting poor innocent right-wing transphobes by shutting down their accounts when they post hate speech/misinformation.
In the real world, we know that many victims of deplatforming are (a) queer people and (b) sex workers and other folks who post content about sex. If you or someone you know has had an account shut down, had content removed, or otherwise had their access to services denied or degraded for those reasons, please consider submitting a comment about it. The comment period closes May 21st. I understand folks may not be comfortable giving any info to the government right now, but you have the option to submit anonymously, or as part of an organization.
Right now, most of the comments are exactly what this guy wants: they're from conservatives complaining about being banned for, e.g., spreading vaccine misinformation. If that continues, the FTC will able to use that record of comments as justification to go after companies that are trying to fight misinformation and hate speech. By submitting a comment, you can prevent that! (Also, it would be incredibly satisfying to watch drag queens and cam girls crash this dude's conservative pity party. Even if you don't believe it will really make a difference (it will!), do it for that.)
Would be a shame if people would call their representatives even more
Like I know it’s not a lot, but even if your representative won’t listen to you at least you can annoy them and what’s more American than that?
So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education

HELP US GIVE MY FRIEND A NEW KIDNEY!
Hi everyone, I know my Tumblr has been kinda dead for the time being, but life has been overwhelming as of late. I come here hat in hand to ask anyone who can help to please throw a coin our way.
My roommate and close friend is facing end-stage kidney failure (she's 29). Luckily, she has found a donor willing to give her a kidney to get her back on her feet. While her medical insurance will cover her surgery, it won't cover her donor's, so we're raising funds to pay for that.
Any amount you can spare helps, and just as a little thank you, if you DM me a screenshot of your donation, I'll write you a 1k word drabble, any ship, any fandom, your pick, I'll even do OCs and NSFW if you'd prefer!
"A tribal-led nonprofit is creating a network of native bison ranchers that are restoring ecosystems on the Great Plains, restoring native ranchers’ connections with their ancestral land, and restoring the native diet that their ancestors relied on.
Called the Tanka Fund, they coordinate donors and partners to help ranchers secure grazing land access, funds needed to install and repair fencing, increase their herd sizes, and access markets for bison meat across the country.
That’s the human part of the story. But as Dawn Sherman, executive director of the Tanka Fund, told Native Sun News, they’re “buffalo people” and these four-legged, 2,000 lbs. “cousins” are equal-part-protagonists.
The return of the bison means the return of the prairie, one of the three great grassland ecosystems on the planet, of which just 1% remains as it was when the Mayflower arrived.
“Bringing buffalo back to their ancestral homelands is essential to restoring the ecosystem. We know that the buffalo is a keystone species,” said Dawn Sherman, a member of the Lakota, Delaware, Shawnee, and Cree.
“Bringing the buffalo back to the land and to our people, helps restore the ecosystem and everything it supports from the animals to the plants to the people. It’s come full circle. That’s how we see it.”
As Sherman and the Tanka Fund help native ranchers grow their operations, everyone is well aware of the power of the bison to transform the environment: just as nations across Europe are, who are reintroducing wood bison to various ecosystems, for all the same reasons.
Sherman points out the variety of ways in which buffalo anchor the prairie ecosystem. The almost-extinct black-footed ferret, she points out, lived symbiotically with the bison, and with the latter gone, the former followed—nearly.
The long-billed curlew uses bison dung as a disguise to hide nests from predators. Deer, pronghorn antelope, and elk all rely on bison to plow through deep snows and uncover the grasses that these smaller animals can’t reach.
Everywhere the bison hurls its massive body, life springs in the beast’s wake. When bison roll about on the plains, it creates depressions known as wallows. These fill with rainwater and create enormous puddles where amphibians and insects thrive and reproduce. Certain plants evolved to grow in the wet conditions of the wallows which Native Americans harvested for food and medicine.
Native plants evolved under the trampling hooves of millions of bison, and that constant tamping down of the Earth is a key necessity in the spreading of native wildflower seed.
Indeed, Sherman says some of these native ranchers are bringing bison onto lands still visibly affected by the Dust Bowl, and already the animals are acting like a giant wooly cure-all for the land’s ills.
Since 2020, the Tanka Fund, in partnership with the Inter-Tribal Buffalo Council and the Nature Conservancy, has overseen the transfer of 2,300 bison from Nature Conservancy reserves to lands managed by ranchers within the Tanka Fund network.
“[T]he more animals that we can get the more of that prairie we can restore,” said Sherman. “We can help restore the land that has been plowed and has been leased out to cattle ranchers.”"

I wasn't aware of this one, so I'm trying to spread the word.
I just found out two local gay artists were found murdered in their home. fuck. jesus. I knew these guys. I own their art. I've attended so many gallery openings at their shop. they've meant so much to the community here. and they're just fucking gone? just like that?
and of course the cops are claiming it's not a hate crime.

Hello Everyone, My name is Tareq, and I am the father of three beautiful daughters. 🇵🇸
I live in Gaza. Our home was destroyed by a powerful bomb in November 2023, and with it went all our memories. Since the war started in October 2023, we have been displaced more than nine times, constantly fleeing death and destruction. I have lost my cousin, many dear friends, colleagues, and loved ones. 💔
My sister was severely injured in her leg. She lost her knee entirely and had to be sent to Turkey for treatment in November 2023, where she has undergone multiple surgeries, the most recent being the installation of an internal plate and a knee joint replacement in December 2024. 🩺
Now, my wife Samar, our three daughters (Sham, Masa, and Wateen) and I are living in a makeshift tent made of wood and fabric. Life here is hell. The cold is unbearable, we sleep shivering from the freezing temperatures. My daughters are suffering from many illnesses, including jaundice and severe stomach infections due to the lack of clean water and food. The latest to fall ill is my daughter Masa, who is suffering from a severe deficiency in vitamins, calcium, and iron, also caused by the lack of proper food. ⛺
Our youngest daughter, Wateen, was born during the war on November 16, 2023. She needs baby formula, diapers, and proper nutrition that every child deserves, but I am unable to provide any of these things due to the sky-high prices. 👶🏻
I created this campaign to help my family survive. The funds will be used to buy food, water, and medicine for now, and later to secure temporary shelter. And a portion will be used to get my family out of the horrors of war and start a new life for my children. 🙏🏻
I ask for your help. Please donate if you can, and share our story with your family, friends, communities, and organizations that support the Palestinian cause. Every little bit counts, and together, we can give my family the chance to survive and one day rebuild our lives. 🍉
Thank you for your compassion and support. Your kindness will mean the world to us. ❤️

PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE OPEN FOR GENDER IDENTIFIERS ON US PASSPORTS
Right now, you can submit a comment for consideration on the proposed changes to US Passport law that will include requiring a change from "Gender" to "Sex" on all passports and require that people identify with their sex assigned at birth.
THIS IS THE LAW THAT WOULD BAN TRANS PEOPLE FROM UPDATING THEIR IDENTIFICATION
Please take a moment to click through and submit a comment. This kind of thing is fast, easy, and is one of the many ways to show your support of the trans community to the people that need to know how many of us there are.
i cant stop thinking about the people who expected to finally go home today must be feeling right now. some have been in those torture chambers for decades. and israel just got their hopes up and sent them back to their dungeons. barbaric entity

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.
Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.
Israel has violated Phase 2 of the ceasefire agreement and has blocked humanitarian aid from entering Gaza once again during Ramadan. Prices for food and other necessities have skyrocketed. In addition to this, the solar panels that produce the energy that allows Gazans to connect to the internet are still in need of repair.
Simply put: there is a lot for us to do right now.
Please donate and share to the Al-Anqars fundraiser, which supports the lives of 14 people, as well as their community in North Gaza. While the Rafah border crossing is still closed, it is IMPERATIVE that we continue raising funds so that once it opens, the family can cross as quickly as possible.

As you can read above, the Al-Habil family are in desperate need of our help. They have only raised €255 as of my writing this. They are setting an initial short-term goal of €1,000 which will enable them to purchase a much needed new tent and food.
I encourage you to read more about Shadiah and her family and what they are facing on their gofundme page linked below. Please, please consider donating even just €5, as your contribution will make a material difference in this family's life. They have been suffering immensely, and we are able to relieve some of this suffering through our collective efforts. Let's work together to help them!

Do we think "Israel" brazenly bragging about not allowing humanitarian aid through the border will be enough for people to stop scolding Gazans for making individual/family fundraisers because "it's better to donate to trusted orgs instead" or are they never going to get it?
Please help my family
My name is Aisha
I never imagined I would find myself in a situation that would require me to write these words, but life has taken an unexpected and devastating turn. My family, consisting of my beloved husband and our eight children, is facing a crisis that we cannot overcome alone. Our home, once filled with love and laughter, has been shattered. The roof over our heads, the walls that protected us, and the place where our children grew up are lost. We lost not only our home, but the foundations of our lives. Now, we struggle every day to survive, with nowhere to go or a way to rebuild without help.
Our children, who should be focused on school and their dreams, worry instead about where they will sleep or when their next meal will be. The weight of their fear and confusion breaks my heart. As parents, we feel helpless and unable to provide basic necessities for our loved ones.
We are urgently asking for help because we cannot do this alone. We need to rebuild not only our home, but our lives. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly to providing our children with a safe place to sleep, food to eat, and a chance to dream again. Please, if you can find it in your heart to help us during this desperate time, we will be forever grateful to you. May your kindness and generosity be the light that guides us through this darkness.

💙 From Gaza: A Humble Thank You and a Hope for Tomorrow
My name is Mosab, and I am writing this as someone who has lost more than words can describe. 25 members of my family are gone. Their absence is a wound that never closes, a pain that lingers with every breath I take. Our world has been turned upside down.
But because of you, we are still here. We have reached $3,300 in donations, and I cannot express my gratitude enough. This has provided food, water, and moments of relief in a reality that feels impossible to bear.
The Struggles We Face:
💔 The weight of grief is suffocating. 🥀 Survival is our only focus.
Even a $5 donation can make a difference. If you can’t donate, please reblog this post. You never know who might see it and choose to help.
I have no words to thank you properly. Just know that every single act of kindness means the world to us.
With deep gratitude, Mosab & Family ❤️

The Power of Memories 🎞️
Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed, and I want to share a little bit of my journey with you.
I was born and raised in Gaza, a place I once called home. Life was simple but beautiful. I remember sitting with my family in the evenings, drinking tea and telling stories. I remember walking through the streets, greeting neighbors, feeling like I belonged. I remember celebrating birthdays, laughing over silly jokes, and dreaming about the future.
But in the blink of an eye, everything changed. My home is gone. My family is not whole anymore. My city is unrecognizable. 💔 The streets that once felt so safe are now filled with emptiness. The laughter has been replaced with silence.
And yet, I hold onto my memories. Because memories remind me of who I am, where I come from, and what truly matters. They remind me that love, family, and connection are stronger than destruction.
If you’re reading this, take a moment to appreciate the little things. Hug your family, tell someone you love them, appreciate the warmth of home. These small moments are what truly make life beautiful. 💙
And I'm now waiting to be Vetted by @gazavetters 🙏
"Please, do not ignore my story. Your donation and sharing this message is a part of your humanity and support for us. Every help, no matter how small, makes a huge difference in my life and my children's lives. Be our voice, be the hope for those who have lost everything." 🇵🇸🍉🙏🏼
Share, donate, help us survive. 🕊️❤️
In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉
I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨
Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀
At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨
In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿
"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏
‼️Helping me means helping 5 members of my family..‼️
🥶We're freezing🥶
Hello, I'm Wasim from Gaza, in Al-Mawasi specifically... My family and I were displaced from Rafah after hardship, bombing, displacement, and hunger.😭😔
Now we have been away from our city and our beautiful home for 9 months. We have lost our house that my father built stone by stone and he worked 24/7 to build this house. But the occupation destroyed it, and no house remained in my beautiful city remained intact.😭💔💔
We are now living in a tent or semi-tent, which does not protect us from the cold of winter or the rain. Our lives are very difficult.😔😭
Thanks to your donations, we have been able to buy food and flour, and now I am asking you for help to buy a tent that will protect us from the cold of winter. We do not know what it means to sleep because of the extreme cold.🥶
This is our tent made of fabric and some nylon, not closed on one side. We are freezing from the cold. Help us to buy a new tent. You are our last hope.😭🥶🥶🙏
I also want to ask for help for my mother, who is the most precious thing in my life. Without her, I am nothing...
She has a back cartilage disease and is in great pain. She needs physical therapy, medicine, and vitamins, and I am unable to provide them. Help my mother receive treatment.🙏🙏😭

What is the best way to financially help Ukraine? Is it better to go through organizations or gofundmes or something else I'm not aware of?
Thanks for asking, nonnie. That's very kind of you. If you or anyone else has some spare change and wants to give, here are a few ideas:
United24 is the official fundraising platform established by President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian governmental members and directs money to all areas of the country.
The Olena Zelenska Foundation is primarily focused on medical, humanitarian, and educational aid across the country and was founded by the First Lady.
Stand for Ukraine gives you a range of charity options, depending on whether you want to donate directly to the military, or you would prefer to fund non-lethal or humanitarian aid, etc.
Come Back Alive is the main fundraising platform for the Ukrainian military. You can choose to donate to air defense, heavy weapons, demining, medical aid, overall combat equipment, etc.
Donate to Ukraine's Defenders also offers various (carefully vetted) links and options to donate to rebuilding projects, private medical assistance programs, initiatives for democracy, and others.
OMG someone donated $45 to the drive to get us up to $285/500!!!
There are good people out there, truly 🥹 y'all rock!
War Took Everything, But We Are Still Here 💙
Some days, survival feels impossible. The weight of grief is too heavy. The loss, the fear, the uncertainty—it’s endless.
I lost 25 members of my family in a single attack. My mother. My sisters. My nieces. The people who made my world feel whole.
And now, I am left with my father and my younger siblings, trying to survive with no home, no certainty, no way to rebuild. We have been displaced twice already, moving from place to place, never truly safe.
But we refuse to let war steal everything from us.
💔 I still dream of rebuilding. 💔 My siblings still have hopes for a future. 💔 We just need a little help to make that possible.
Even $5 might not seem like much, but for us, it’s a sign that someone still cares. If you can’t donate, please share this post. Every act of kindness matters.
Thank you for keeping our hope alive. 💙
USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.
Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.
If you live outside the USA boycott US products on February 28 2025 and stand in solidarity with us and also join us for the week of no Amazon.
Are you with me?
Spread the word.
Your Kindness Is Giving Us Strength 💙🙏
Some days, I wake up and wonder how we are still here, still fighting to survive. The weight of everything we have lost is heavy. Twenty-five members of my family are gone. Their laughter, their presence, their warmth—wiped away in an instant.
Our home, the place where we built our lives, is now nothing but rubble. The life we had before is completely gone, and every day is a struggle to find a way forward. But what gives me hope is the kindness of strangers—people I have never met, yet who have chosen to care.
Today, we’ve reached $2,500, and while it’s still a long way from what we need, it means everything to us. It means we are not forgotten. It means people see us, hear us, and want to help.
💔 We have been displaced over and over, forced to flee with nowhere safe to go. 💔 We have no home, no stability, no certainty about what tomorrow will bring. 💔 Every day is a battle, not just for survival, but for dignity, for hope, for a reason to keep going.
Even $5 might not seem like much, but for us, it is the difference between despair and a small moment of relief. It is proof that someone still cares. And if you can’t donate, simply sharing this post helps more than I can express. You never know who might see it and be able to help.
To every person who has donated, shared, or simply taken the time to read our story—thank you. You are part of our hope, part of our strength. You are making a difference in our lives, and I will never forget that.
