Anyway here’s some information from the National Center for Transgender Equality on how you can support trans people, and here’s a direct link to their donation webpage, and here’s their page for national/federal and state advocacy efforts and actions if you wanted something specific to get involved in.

Here’s the Human Rights Campaign’s resources page about transgender people and issues , and here’s their Get Involved page to help find ways to volunteer and lobby and advocate in your area.

Also, here’s the National Network to End Domestic Violence’s page about the Violence Against Woman Act , their Action Center, and their Donation page.

seeing hechshers on things that are inherently kosher is always funny. thank you for notifying me that my plain, unflavored, additive free bottled water is pareve, but i’d be pretty concerned if it wasn’t

Tell me you never lived in NYC without telling me you never lived in NYC

true, but also consider the hechsher on my paper towels

timothee chalamet dunking on ballet and opera for being “irrelevant” as if his literal own mother wasn’t a professional dancer for one of the biggest ballet companies ever… as a ballet dancer myself who’s been in the industry for over a decade we ARE a dying art form not because we’re “irrelevant” but because struggling artists exist everywhere. the studios are poor and theatre is at just as much of a risk. writers and painters and actors and dancers and singers and any other kind of artists need to have each others backs in a world where human connection is dying and ai slop is being pushed by big corps. this is your reminder to GO to the opera and GO to the ballet and take a trip to the theatre to watch a movie and give thanks to your fanfic writers and pay an artist for a commission because humans were born to create art and that is always valuable

I have to share this for the next part to make sense, though it’s the next part I want to focus on:

Matt’s an idiot, we already know this, but:

this is NAUSEATING.

Black victims of American police brutality should not be on what is essentially an altar with the ayatollah. what in the fuck is wrong with the left

just to reiterate, not even taking 47 years of Iranian history into account, let’s talk about January 2026. two months ago. the ayatollah, by way of the IRGC, had the streets of Iran running with the blood of tens of thousands of innocent protesters - men, women, and children - who were fighting for their liberation. it was a massacre that we can scarcely comprehend the scale of from afar. there still isn’t a definite death toll because the IRI has suppressed information, stolen corpses, and destroyed evidence. 30,000 people were slaughtered in 48 hours and the total could be many tens of thousands more. they were going into hospitals and murdering people who were wounded. they were hacking women’s bodies up to hide the abuse they inflicted upon them. they were forcing families to pay a ransom to get their loved ones’ remains back for burial.

to have a vigil for the man who ordered that horror, and place a photo of that fascistic monster next to victims of racism in the United States, is a rot that is honestly unspeakable. I don’t even know how it can be rectified.

I’ve never been a pacifist or a believer in not using force for defense or justified offense, and I struggle with people that I like and get along with who do think that. It came up with one of my classmates and I thought “well yeah, you’ve had a largely comfortable life and background, so that makes sense but like come on now”.

I didn’t say anything out loud but I really am like “let’s get serious and not be naive please”.
