Contrary to popular belief u can support trans women for reasons other than pissing off terfs

but im out of my head when you’re not around…

its just me and my gay little iced coffee against the fucking world

Women in Bradley County Jail are being kept in horrible, unsanitary, and unsafe conditions. Literally signs for help in the window.

The best way to help is to bail them out!!

Please if you have a couple of dollars to spare we are doing our best to get as many women out. Women who can’t, will get money in their commissary for sanitary products.

stg im abt to just start blocking any n all goyim w goblin in their url or who call themselves goblins to b like cute n quirky or whatever lmao

actually u know what im tired of this needing to b said over n over im done lol

if yr a goy [that is, not jewish] u need to stop using goblins as an aesthetic, as a quirky jokey derogatory phrase for yrself, etc. u need to acknowledge that goblins r an antisemetic caricature, that's their origin n that's what they still represent today. jews have been saying this for years n im fucking tired of goyim ignoring us. just cuz it seems inconsequential to u doesnt mean it is for us n just cuz yr one jewish friend said it was ok doesnt mean they speak for all of us

u wanna keep ur goblincore aesthetic? do the bare fucking minimum n call it corvidcore instead. i see u goyim w yr "goblincore" blogs where u post pics of gold coins n jewish caricatures of greedy creatures w green skin n hooked noses. yr calling yrself a "goblin" cuz yr messy or whatever? get into the grunge aesthetic, bring that back n embrace that instead

goyim stop using goblins to describe yrself, yr aesthetics, any part of yr identity, PERIOD. im fucking sick of it lol

goyim can rb but dont try to start shit

(context for the following, i am also jewish)

goblins actually do not have an antisemitic origin. this article gives a good explanation: goblins in folklore were never associated with jewish people in the vast majority of mythology (apart from cornish mythology), but the popularization of modern fantasy that uses antisemitic caricatures in the depiction of goblins (such as d&d and harry potter) has made an antisemitic depiction of goblins popular.

as long as goblins are not portrayed in an antisemitic way (hooked nose, green skin, greedy/bankers/money-hungry, etc) there isn't really anything antisemitic about them inherently. for example, here is a goblin in little witch academia:

there is nothing about this depiction that is antisemitic. as long as goyim don't use antisemitic depictions, i don't see anything wrong with using goblins or the word goblin.

however, if you ARE looking to have an aesthetic around hoarding gold coins or whatever, please don't use "goblin" to describe that, as that is antisemitic.

A nonverbal autistic 5-year-old child Eliza Talal accidentally drowned during the rain and flooding from Tropical Storm Isaias. A GoFundMe is being run to help her family recover from her passing if anyone would be so kind as to help them out. This happened in my area and the community is doing as much as possible but some outside assistance would be appreciated.

ok youtube just said “fuck you if youre deaf or hard of hearing or just want to watch a video in a different language”

https://twitter.com/LiamODellUK/status/1288869766980042752

and you know what the fucking bullshit is  they’re replacing it with a ~6 months free of a subscription to a third party captions provider~ which of course you’d have to pay for after those 6 months are up and you KNOW random youtuber #9039 isn’t going to bother to keep paying for that either because they won’t have the money or they just won’t care. and youtube’s going to act like that’s a perfectly fine alternative that won’t result in the majority of the site suddenly going from “more or less accessible” to “Fuck You If You’re Disabled” 

“citing low usage” are you fucking kidding me nearly every worthwhile video i watch uses community captions. sometimes they’re kind of janky cuz they were made by some 14 year old who thought it’d be funny to put their own irrelevant jokes and commentary in there but that wasn’t a reason to ditch the feature entirely when its so useful and important

i’m not even hard of hearing and i rely on them to watch videos in other languages…this is literally how people have been making english subs for japanese songs and the like for years and it was great because you didn’t have to reupload the videos yourself and take away views from the original creators. many creators don’t allow reprints of their work whatsoever so if they go through with this (which unfortunately they seem pretty deadset on because lololol moneyyyyyy) it’s entirely likely that there just won’t be a way to watch that content with captions

there’s a petition to keep community captions…i don’t know if it’ll really do anything since they’re already going ~oh but we have Paid Alternatives!~ but don’t just let this pass by this should be a huge deal but i’ve barely seen anyone talking about it (not that i expect people to talk about things of any particular importance on tumblr but it’s not even getting attention on twitter beyond that one thread and like 2 other posts)

so like. sign this and shit don’t let youtube just actively get rid of accessibility features without anyone caring (though i’d say probably use twitter if you want to actually get their attention i don’t think they’d look here) http://chng.it/LN9HRNmnkg

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again but it is absolutely an example of civilizational inadequacy that only deaf people know ASL

“oh we shouldn’t teach children this language, it will only come in handy if they [checks notes] ever have to talk in a situation where it’s noisy or they need to be quiet”

My mom learned it because she figured she’ll go deaf when she gets old

My family went holiday SCUBA diving once, and a couple of Deaf guys were in the group. I was really little and I spent most of the briefing overcome with the realization that while the rest of us were going to have regulators in our mouths and be underwater fairly soon, they were going to be able to do all the same stuff and keep talking.

The only reason some form of sign language is not a standard skill is ableism, as far as I can tell.

For anyone interested in learning, Bill Vicars has full lessons of ASL on youtube that were used in my college level classes.

my cat Meatball’s hanukkah sweater started kinda coming off, so my girlfriend went to fix it, and as she did so she said to him, in her most tender and maternal voice, “aww, is your shirt coming off? whore”

Apology

i would like to apologise for the thought bubble containing a cartoon mouse in a dressing gown and nightcap who picked up a small plate with a candle on it, yawned and went to bed which appeared while you were telling me about all your problems

i found this sketch on youtube and i can’t stop thinking about it
