cw incest, stalking, breach of privacy, SA

Please help me. i found out my brother (who lives in the same house has me) Has been accessing my private information, including my bank account and my google photos, which contain several compromising photos of me. He has also created a secret folder in my accoubt which Cannot be accessed through any devices owned by me. My Own Shit. And I have proof of him accessing, altering, deleting, and obfuscating information and data. The internet connection here is not reliable for me. I CANNOT LIVE HERE. I AM AFRAID. And i am keeping quiet in order to avoid a major blowout in this house but I have been on the brink of suicide and he is aware of the effects these actions have on me. I am desperate to get far, far, far away from here. I am so tired of feeling unsafe.

vm/paypal.me/: tominova

I am so profoundly alone and just. despondent. I can't keep taking this

His behavior towards me has become increasingly hostile and I'm now unable to transfer any money to my Paypal

Please, PLEASE help me get out of this place TONIGHT I'm seriously begging I can't book a hotel on my phone or devices I need to GET OUT

I want to be able to raise enough to get somewhere stable for at least a month's time so I can figure SOMETHING out

I told my mom about this and was not supported. In fact I was chewed out and disparaged because in response to months of his invasive behavior, i put a lock on my door. My brother pretended he had no ability to change the wifi pw (1. it's literally already been changed and 2. it's fucking xfinity like do you think I'm an idiot) the gaslighting is becoming too much this is killing me. I need enough to sign a lease for at least 2-3 months I am not safe! I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME

this post CANNOT lose momentum please reblog please donate

Perisex allies: stop this shit

CW: intersexism

Came across this infographic during some google image searching and I'm still kind of a state of despair about it because it's not just offensively wrong about what intersex is, it was used to teach university students about queer issues:

Alt text: LGBTQIA+ are defined one by one. Intersex is defined erroneously as "These are people who were born with genital organs of both sexes (male and female). It is a genetic condition."

It's one thing for your rando perisex person to be getting this wrong on social media. It's another thing entirely when it's professionals getting this wrong in an educational setting. 😩 And that this infographic appears in a peer-reviewed publication. 😩

It's even worse to know the students that were taught with this infographic were medical students, who will be the ones traumatizing intersex people for decades to come 😩

It's so wrong in so many different ways:

  • Intersex is not limited to people with genital differences. Most intersex people have intersex variations that are not apparent at birth, with puberty being the most common time of life for variations to present. Many people find out in adulthood having no outward physical differences.
  • Of the intersex people with genital differences, they do not have two sets of genitals. Most genital differences are still recognizably female or male (e.g. spadias), and those who have ambiguous genitals have one set.
  • Intersex is not "male parts + female parts" or even "intermediate male/female parts", it is an umbrella term for anybody whose primary/secondary sex characteristics don't line up with what is expected for male and female bodies. Some intersex variations make women look more feminine, or make men look more masculine.
  • Defining intersex by genital differences doesn't just exclude most intersex people, it also sets the tone that we are defined by our genitals. To be publicly intersex is to have non-stop DMs about your genitals. This sort of framing sets up openly intersex people for invasive questions and harassment, and it keeps large numbers of intersex people from coming out.
  • Many intersex variations do not have a known genetic basis. Many intersex variations are caused by exposure to certain hormonal levels in the womb. Certain medications when taken during pregnancy can trigger intersex variations.
  • While bodily variation is necessary for being intersex, the social experience of stigma, discrimination, isolation, hyper-medicalization, and hyper-sexualization are all just as much a part of being intersex.

📣 Perisex allies: this is shit you can stop. When you see other perisex people parrot this sort of misinformation, correct them. Direct them to look up resources written by actually intersex people.

Here are some starter resources to give:

Latest reblog reminds me of how much it pisses me the fuck off how every queer person alive has to adapt to the usamerican style of queerness lest we get shunned by the community for being too different. I bring this up a lot but bro that time I got death threats for having ele/dele in my bio bc "by using neopronouns I was making a mockery of REAL trans people" when those are literally just my pronouns in my native language, and when I said that I got hit w the "well you're on the internet so speak english" I HATE GRINGOS I HATE GRINGOS I HATE GRINGOS

I feel the need to miss out a crucial detail I missed out in this post I made out of anger, and no, it doesn't add any silver linings or good context, it honestly only serves to make it worse.

In portuguese, much like spanish, we have no gender neutral pronouns. People who do not use ele/dele and ela/dela (he/him or she/her) all use whatever neopronoun suits them best in portuguese (ie elu/delu, eli/deli) because we have no access to a universal gender neutral pronoun like gringos do. When I brought this up upon them making fun of my "neopronouns", they said to suck it up, and that being foreign does not make neos valid.

In mocking people who use neopronouns in english, you are mocking a very large sum of latin american genderqueer and trans people.

I know various latin language speakers that struggle with their identities in their native tongue due to us not having they/them equivalents, so they are forced to let go of their, in example, brazilian queerness, to appease to anglos who would harass them and call them mockeries of trans people for not sticking to what The Cis want.

When non-anglos tell you the usamerican and british dominance over queer spaces ruins things for them, they mean it. We are forced to repress our identites because you people think they're too "out there and problematic". We are forced to suppress our own queer culture because we don't fit into your neat little boxes of what makes someone gay what makes someone a lesbian what makes someone trans or what makes someone anything else.

You tell us to remember "our queer elders", but do you know of any queer latin american figures? We learn your history, and you refuse to learn ours because you already have "too much on your plate". You disregard us and shame us for not fitting your ideals of queerness and using labels for ourselves you dislike, and try to baby us and tell us the proper way to be gay.

Your culture is not universal.

You are not saving queer people by making jabs at other queer people you don't personally get. Odds are you are harming an entire group of foreign queers you never bothered to consider, because your anglo bubble is too self important.

If you want to do queer people a real favour instead of getting mad at identities that existed long before you were even born, here. Make yourself useful. Donate to queer brazilian housing and support programs. Your beloved dollar is worth a lot more than the Real. Even five dollars help.

Hey man reblog this version instead lol

piracy as a morally questionable thing is a very alien concept to me but so is piracy as a morally righteous thing like. Living in south america in a country with constant economic crisis has made me aware that there is fundamentally no moral in the act of downloading a videogame to your pc or a pdf of a book, because in here most things i actually pay for arent original either. Most books i have are copies or secondhand, so no matter if i pay for them or not the creators arent getting any money either way. I cant afford to go to the movies or actually buy videogames so for those things the question isnt if i pay for them or not, the question is if i get to interact with them at all. Its very weird seeing people talk about piracy as a thing that you choose to do or not and that choice having moral weight instead of just a fact of life that almost everyone has to do if they want to access information or entertainment

i think fundamentally piracy is about accessibility, because everytime i see a post going "dont spread a dl link to whatever, support the creator instead" its like, i literally can't do that, i don't have the choice to pay for it or not, if you take away the link the only thing youre doing is making it impossible for me (and anyone else that cant buy it because of poverty or because its innaccesible in their country or for whatever reason) to access it, you're not doing some righteous thing and getting more people to pay for it bc most people who pirate stuff can't access it any legal way

and even if people just dont want to pay for shit why the fuck do you care anyway

full offense but "no politics" policies in any kind of online space are always a chickenshit move, every time, literally no exceptions

also literally impossible to enforce consistently anyway because nothing is apolitical no matter how badly you want it to be

Love the "well shaped" description here. For those who aren't plush nerds, the very first patented stuffed animal to be mass produced in North America was the Ithaca Kitty in 1892. With only three pieces of fabric, it was more of a printed pillow than a stuffed animal..

So compared to the toy a parent in the 1890s may have grown up playing with, this 1918 stuffed animal they may have bought their children has got so much more sculpting and intricacies going on!

Kids these days with their fancy gusseted plushes smh
