hey peeps, i would be calling your doctors STAT to see if you're in the clear about where your drugs are manufactured

then i would definitely be call your representatives and bitch them a new asshole

people are legit going to die because of this

also surgeries??? anesthesia? where is that medicine from? like this is so fucked up

Now, today is September 26th, and this is supposed to go into effect on October 1st, which is like nine months in the warped dog-years time of the Trump administration. And it's very possible he'll walk it back or conveniently forget about it, which happens pretty frequently.

Which means that calling your reps now may actually make a difference in whether this kills people.

Step 1: Search up the generic name for whatever meds you take, then call your pharmacist - not your primary - and ask where it comes from and whether any part of it is manufactured in the US. THEN call your primary and tell them to pre-order your next round, even if you're not due yet. (They might try to tell you they can't do that. They can.)

Step 2: Call your reps - by now you should be calling them so often they're one of the top numbers saved in your phone, but you can also find them very easily here - and tell them specifically that you are worried about the financial impact on American business this will have and ask them what they plan to do about it. Because sadly, concerns about money and saving their own skin will probably get their attention faster than any concerns about the harm it will do to vulnerable individuals.

NONE OF THIS IS INEVITABLE. I'm serious, call your reps. We've gotten other Orwellian nightmare shit walked back or shot down - because remember that we're not dealing with actual politics anymore, we're dealing with a spineless madman with late stage dementia who's favorite pastime is Just Saying Things To Say Things - and we can get this shot down too.

What you should and shouldn't do about censorship in 2025:

DO:

✅️ Spread the word on all platforms that you have an account on.

✅️ Sign as many petitions as you can.

✅️ Call, email, and fax your Senators and representatives about KOSA, the Screen Act, the BEARD bill, the HR 9495 bill, and COPPA 2.0.

✅️ Call Visa and MasterCard.

✅️ Cancel YouTube Premium if you have it.

✅️ Find alternatives for YouTube and refuse to use it at all on August 13th and for every day afterward until they remove their age verification policy.

✅️ Save everything that is important to you on USBs.

✅️ Protest.

DON'T:

🚫 Submit any form of ID to any social media platform or website.

🚫 Comply with censorship regulations of any kind.

🚫 Let anyone tell you that this is to "protect the children." If they wanted to protect kids, they would release the Epstein files and arrest everyone in them.

🚫 Give up.

TAKE NOTES PEOPLE!!! PLEASE DO ALL OF THIS STUFF!!!

(🙏PLEASE check out my blog! I have petitions on there on the pinned post for KOSA, The Screen Act, YouTube's AI policy, and Bad Internet Bills. Feel free to sign or reblog them! ❤️)

my moral compass is stronger than my loyalties so hell yes I’ll cut someone off for being a racist, sexist, homophobe, trump supporter, anti trans, cop loving, pro forced birth, Kirk praising son of a bitch

I know i don't really have that much a platform or pull, but i want y'all's help.

As you know, two days ago, that nazi asshole charlie kirk was shot and killed. One of the professors at my uni posted about it and said he wouldn't mourn him and wondered where this kind of response was for the Minnesota rep assassination, school shootings, etc. He didn't even know who the bitch was.

And now he very well may lose his job.

This is such a kind man. When he saw my backpack falling apart, he gave me his old one that normally would have cost 200 dollars. When i couldn't afford the art supplies for his class, he gave me some to keep that i still use. He has been one of the most supportive and understanding professors i have ever had, and he doesn't deserve to lose a job he's had for almost 20 years just for telling the truth and not mourning a man who doesn't deserve it.

Its not my petition, and i know they rarely accomplish much of anything nowadays, but it will at least bring attention to it

Sign it. Spread it around. Reblog this post, get it out there. Please.

This isn't hypothetical, folks. The professor has been put on leave because Republican lawmakers had the sheer nerve to demand he be fired for making a not actually especially inflammatory comment on his personal Facebook page. They have no legal standing at all to do that.

Trump doesn't care about petitions.

Universities do.

Free bumper sticker design for any Floridians who want it

This was intended to be a 30 note shitpost for my Florida mutuals but I forgot that actually everyone loathes Ron DeSantis. Genuinely heartwarming 🥹

i do not care if someone learned compassion from a cartoon or a comic or an anime im just glad they're here with us now a better person fighting the good fight. should it have taken something so trivial? maybe not- but it's in the past! and this is the now! and if they're objectively better for it who cares

"it took gay shipping for this adult to stop being homophobic 😬" ok but they stopped being actively homophobic. that's what you just said. that's literally the only important part you understand that right? this is a win for everyone you get that?

we all start somewhere and im going to be real buddy i only care about the harm you did or didn't cause on your journey and where you ended up. whatever set it off only matters as much as you want it too

Surely that is a major part of why we want more representation in mainstream media in the first place. It's very weird to campaign for good portrayals and then get mad when they work.

"They were homophobic until their own kid came out as queer!!!!" Ok. So what I'm hearing is that they're not homophobic anymore. What I'm hearing is that their child came out as queer and their parent then looked at their prejudices and questioned whether or not those prejudices outweighed their love for their child. What I'm hearing is that their love for their child won out against the prejudices they'd spent years espousing. What I'm hearing is that they grew as a person and they're an improved version of themselves now.

I know it's not the silly stuff I usually post, but please hear me out, as it's important to me.

It all started with the Russian government making it illigal to talk about queerness amongst children, which was greatly celebrated by the homophobic majority back in the day. Later, they made it punishable for queer adults to publicly share their stories amongst other adults too, which was also celebrated.

On 30th November of 2023, the "lgbtq+ organization" was titled as "extremist", along with all the pro-Ukranian and anti-war organizations, which led to radical, aggressive censorship of all media in Russia. Then, big western social media were banned, along with monetization on them, which made activism for queer/pro-Ukrainian Russians even more difficult than it used to be, as it's required to dox yourself to the government by putting your "content creator" number (obtained from the official public services app "Госуслуги" by giving your sensitive information) in your BIO to get monetized legally. That has affected the right to privacy of not only Russian activists, but also of every Russian content creator.

12 days ago, on September 1st, 2025, they published a new law that punishes those who GOOGLE SEARCH unfavorable information about the government, "extremist" media, or anything that might suggest opposition to the Russian government and its actions. It's not just illegal to "seem" anti-war, or pro-gay, or pro-trans anymore — It's the MINDSET that's being criminalized right now. It's illegal to QUESTION, it's illegal to RESEARCH, it's illegal to INFO CHECK, it's illegal to EDUCATE YOURSELF, it's illegal to even TRY to FIND OUT THE TRUTH, even if you're doing it ON YOUR OWN.

So when I tell you,

It's NEVER about your safety and it's NEVER about "the kids",

you better fucking believe me.

A big part of accessibility is actually maintaining the infrastructure you have, even if only one person has ever used it in say, the five years you've had it.

This is regularly testing, repairing, and maintaining the equipment in your facility.

I don't care how infrequently it gets used. If you're not maintaining it, you do not have it.

The next place that claims to have a wheelchair lift, if we discover it's not working, while my mom is currently in it, is getting lit on fire.

For anyone else having a shit time with chronic illness...

You can do everything right and still have a flare

You can do everything right and still be in pain

You can do everything right and still get worse

You can do everything right and still feel like you're struggling

You can do everything right and people will still be assholes

It's not you.

Hang in there.

Her public defender is deliberately deadnaming and misgendering her despite her already having her legal name changed years ago. She is being kept in a men’s jail. Clearly her attorney is deliberately acting against the interests of his client. There’s gotta be something more we can do

Here’s said lawyer’s info, I haven’t verified it’s the same person but given his name is the same and I didn’t have to type “lawyer” or “attorney” for him to show up, I think it’s safe to conclude it’s the same person

Do with this information what you will

I sent him an email asking him to stop deadnaming her and to respect who she is and this is the response I got back.

I'm one of Meagan Morris' partners and there's a couple things we've been trying to do about her shitty lawyer:

fic where eddie goes ”buck why do you never touch me”

@prev I do have a fic that is almost finished with seven posted chapters that has Buck asking why Eddie doesn't kiss him. Is it possible that's what you're thinking of?

Hey also we should care very much about what's happening with Lil Nas X btw. According to LA law, what he did (takin a walk in undies and cowboy boots) does not meet the requirements for indecent exposure and therefore does not warrant arrest. The claims that he charged officers were made without proper evidence such as body cam footage. If there is evidence, it has not been released to the public. Either way, his actions do not warrant four fuckin felonies including three counts of battery on an officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, especially considering that he was clearly having a mental episode (a fact which is also supported by his dad). Benefit of the doubt to the charges, an unarmed man is being wrongfully charged more than he should for alleged crimes committed in response to a non-crime. Realistically, he is facing these charges because he is a black queer man experiencing a crisis.

There was a character in a book I read once who was described as "handsomely fat" and that phrase is stuck in my brain forever. The author really was like "no shut up, they're charismatic, they're good-looking, they're handsomely fat. not just handsome AND fat; them being fat is directly contributing to their good looks. you agree." and they were RIGHT

I saw some weird ass conspiracy video thing today of like 'we were never meant to have access to yeast, that was cultivated in a lab and it harms us' bullshit and I was like well first off there's no such thing as 'meant to' and second of all um? the long history of acquiring yeast from beer foam stretching so far back ??????

....you can acquire yeast FROM THE AIR.

If you want to make sourdough started from scratch, the process is 'mix water, flour, and maybe sugar if you've got it, then WHIP IN AS MUCH AIR AS YOU CAN' and let it sit. And this works. Because there's yeast there. In the air.

Not only is there yeast in the air, it's on a bunch of fruits, too. Ever rubbed a blueberry, plum, or grape, and it was slightly darker underneath? That thin film is wild yeasts. There is also yeasts that live on human skin (and not just pathogenic ones!). We are never without yeasts.

You do not have access to yeast; yeast has access to you.

In ancient times people made bread by smashing grapes into the dough because grapes have high yeast content. Been meaning to try it some day.

why do i always choose to describe how a character smells when i struggle so much with coming up with good descriptors for that distinct smell 🤦‍♀️

A ton of other fic writers think sandalwood and coconut shampoo

our fascist government in the us is testing its power on the people of dc. they say they want to "get control of crime", but since crime is down in dc we know that they just want to impose military control over the people. the other potential targets for this project are la, chicago, and baltimore. they have many things in common, but the most striking to me is that they are all very black and brown cities. since the turn of the century, blackness has been associated with criminality, with unrest, with danger. black cities and communities have been deprived and over-policed. when things are done to our communities, the media frames it as natural or expected. "what was the cop supposed to do?" "shouldn't we address high crime rates?" etc etc

my friend nader @abdalsalam2000 tells me that he feels this way often as a palestinian, that he is treated as a problem even when he cries out for help. even when he and his people are victimized, they are framed as born and bred victimizers. as the people of gaza starve, the israeli society frames their children as "future terrorists" without a shred of remorse. i want a better life for my friend, and for all of us. please donate to his family below!
