I feel like islamophobia in the lgbt+ community, especially from white people, is something that is often overlooked
but as a muslim lesbian...it hurts. it's alienating. you're harming us when you say religion can't coexist with our identities because islam is as much a part of my identity as being a non-binary lesbian is!
there are plenty of legitimate criticisms to be made about white christianity and it's weaponization against the lgbtq+ community, but lumping muslims in with that is so harmful
the same people who persecute lgbt+ people also persecute muslim people, and if you can't see us as your allies or fellow community members, then you have some islamophobic views to work out
and before you tell me that muslims don't accept lgbt+ people, I'd like to mention that I have come out to multiple mujtahids (religious leaders at ismaili mosques) in my lifetime and they have all welcomed me
for every white lgbt+ person who doesn't accept my faith, there is a muslim who accepts my sexuality and gender identity
do better. because this is our community too.
Please Donate
Nobody gives two shits about an ENTIRE COUNTRY being hit by two cyclones consecutively. It’s displaced over 160,000 people and destroyed over 30,000 homes.
Yet no one cries.
No billionaires or other countries have talked about donating or helping the country out.
Please help by donating to charities and fundraisers dedicated to helping provide humanitarian aid to Mozambique!

Why do I even fight for shows anymore? First Glitch Techs, then Prodigal Son, then The Owl House, now this? What the fuck is the point of fighting if the people you're pleading and begging to literally don't give a shit?
Raise money to continue a show? They cancel it.
Sign petitions to continue a show? They cancel it.
Beg streaming platforms to pick up a cancelled show? They say 'no'.
Explain how a show means a lot to you? They reply with an automated message because they never read it to begin with.
I know money is important but it's not just a show for the people watching. It's an escape from life. A safe and easy escape. And we deserve AT LEAST that.
Well I'm not fighting anymore. I'm not wasting my time and breath on trying to communicate with networks who won't communicate with us. If we get good news about any of the four shows I mentioned, I'll help out. But for now, fuck it.
[ID: A total of five tweets from Matthew Mercer @.matthewmercer which together read: “#criticalrolespoilers #criticalrole Seeing some VERY weird conversation about planned “aging” of characters and the like... which is very much not the case? A randomly rolled encounter combined with unexpected player choices makes for unexpected outcomes. I’m seeing some really toxic discussions, based in (surprise) shipping spaces. Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for shipping. I think, when engaged with in a HEALTHY way, can be a great way to enjoy media and engage with it. However, the misinterpretation of a story (especially improvised) wielded as a weapon against others who disagree with your ship, or anger against not seeing YOUR ship realized and turning it into hate for a fandom and/or it’s creators is toxic beyond belief. Sometimes the mental gymnastics I read when some folks try to justify a perceived, personal slight by creators and storytellers who both made no promises to you, or did nothing but continue to follow an organic, honest path with care, makes me not want to create. Scenarios like this continue to push me away from engaging online, for my own mental health. I don’t want to pull away, but man... sometimes you all try my patience. The conspiracies, the assumptions, the untrue, unwarranted statements... *sigh*” /end ID]
disney employees are starting a full week of walkouts leading to their big walkout on march 22nd, 2022. they’ve asked people to not use disney products during this week. (no disney+, hulu, espn, playing games, watching videos, reviewing/blogging about any of their IP, no going to the parks). this is a targeted and timed action you can concretely participate in.
they’re asking people to also support by using those hashtags and to sign their petition in solidarity.
This is my partner, Jesse.
“ My name is Jesse, I’m a black nonbinary trans man who is in need of help. On April 1st, 2021, a car on the highway stopped in front of me suddenly, causing me to rear end her, another car to hit mine. My car is now totaled–the radiator is in the engine block and is unsafe to drive, dripping oil and fluids. I’m asking for your help. I need a car to go to and from work, doctors appointments, and just to live. Houston has awful public transit and none where I live. This would be covering the cost of a down payment on a new vehicle and other fees, like the towing from the site of the accident, etc. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you so much and please share and help if you can.
While i have a vehicle and have started work I’m now behind on bills since i wasn’t able to start on time and the income is unstable. Now i need help with making ends meet and keeping my utilities on while my partner recovers from surgery and i continue looking for better more stable employment. Im now asking for help with a survival fund while this period passes. Please share and help if you can thank you for your help and time.”
If you could retweet this, it would be greatly appreciated. I wish I could do more to help but in my top surgery recovery period I cannot go to work.
Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.
