can someone make a “what’s your opinion on war crimes” “in my opinion, all war is crimes” image or do i have to do it myself
I was planning to drop the items from the linked tweet thread onto this post, but there are SO MANY new bills that it became a wall of text - line after line after line of incredible things Minnesota has enacted in a single session.
- Marijuana will be fully legal starting in August, but the bill also wipes past criminal records and sets up marginalized communities to benefit from the new incoming profits.
- voting rights are restored immediately after leaving prison, probation is capped, and phone calls for prisoners are free now.
- there are so many labor rights being added i can't begin to list them. an end to non-compete clauses, paid sick and family medical leave for the WHOLE STATE, unemployment for seasonal education workers, safety regulations for workers in warehouses and nursing, establishment of minimum wages for gig drivers!
- carbon free electricity by 2040
- cutting child poverty by 1/3 immediately
- price caps for high cost pharmaceuticals
- more funding for public transit, public defense, education, homelessness prevention, and the removal of ALL lead pipes in the state water system
- roe v wade is codified, conversion therapy is banned, and other state's anti-trans bills are blocked for anyone receiving gender related care here.
- undocumented immigrants can get drivers licenses and basic healthcare through the state
- improvements to our already robust voting rights
- basic gun safety laws, like background checks and red flag laws
I'm.... actually blown away. the political landscape often feels so hopeless, but the DFL pulled themselves together, getting every member on board for these changes - real changes that are going to protect health, keep people out of jail and housed, and improve work conditions massively. this should be a beacon for every other state democratic party - change doesn't have to be incremental. things can get better and they can get better right now. get crackin'.
I was just captivated by this comic

So I’m aware I haven’t really posted anything in a while but I hope this reaches someone. My brother’s name is Efren. Growing up he used to tease and make fun of me, but among all the teasing he also helped raise me along with our mom. When he was little he wanted to be an architect. But his is the story that a lot of Mexican American working class families face: either take the opportunities available to you to attain your dreams, or curtail those in order to take care of your family. He chose his family. After graduating high school he turned down full ride scholarships in order to stay and work to help pay the bills. It was just him, my mom, and me. After a couple of years we got stable enough economically that he was able to go to college, but after graduation we fell on hard times again and instead of finding work in his field or applying to architecture school like he always dreamed, he decided to stick around and help us again. It’s because of his choice to help our family that I was able to go to college too, something that for a time I didn’t think was possible. It’s because of him that I was able to apply to and get accepted into a PhD program in the hopes of becoming a professor. It’s because of him that my mom has a house to call her own. My mom and I owe him everything. Yesterday, he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). He’s uninsured. I’m a student, our mom works in childcare. There’s a high success rate for remission if he gets treatment, but we can’t afford it. He’s all me and my mom have, and we can’t lose him. He chose family growing up, and it’s my turn to choose him. Please, any donation helps. I just want him to come home.
I know times are tough with covid and everything so if anyone could please just spare a dollar or a reblog thatd be great. I can’t lose him.

First off, thank y’all so so much for the generosity, advice, and kind words y’all have shared. I honestly thought this might get a couple hundred notes I didn’t know it would get over 12k!!!! I’m so incredibly thankful to everyone who’s reblogged and donated and messaged me. Y’all truly don’t know how much it means to me and my family.
Now I wanna post a couple updates here. A lot of y’all pointed out that hospitals should have financial aid or pointed out some charities that could help, and for that I’m very thankful. Yesterday we applied to the hospital financial aid but they told us that he likely only qualifies for a 50% discount on their sliding scale because of income. We’re incredibly thankful for that help of course, but 50% of $30k/month is still $15k/month for treatment. I also spent yesterday applying to different cancer charities and Catholic charities and Latino charities and government assistance but ofc cancer related assistance is in really high demand and a lot of charities are strained thin because of covid and people losing their jobs.
I’m incredibly grateful for y’all’s extreme generosity, so far through the gofundme, Venmo, cashapp, and PayPal we’ve received $8,327.64 and I’m absolutely blown away. I’m in tears writing this I didn’t know people could be so generous. I know times are tough with covid and a lot of families are going through the unimaginable. I don’t know how much more this post can circulate on tumblr, so now I’m just asking if y’all could do this:
Please spread this post and the gofundme link on your other social media.
I’ve made this post on Twitter that y’all can retweet (link) but I don’t have Instagram or Facebook or Reddit because I’m admittedly kind of a hermit. So I’m incredibly thankful for everything y’all have done, I’m just hoping that maybe some of y’all will spare a retweet or a repost and help get the word out to as many people as possible. Thank y’all. God bless.
The look on her face when she realizes
Here’s what they said if you didn’t understand-
Interviewer: What do you think about starting an initiative on campus here at UK, to be more inclusive to women who have penises? So we can put urinals in the womens restroom for them.
Student: Sounds fantastic.
Interviewer: Oh, does it?
Student: Yeah.
Interviewer: What about- Let’s take it one step closer, y'know more- for inclusivity here on campus, but free tampons and pads in the mens restroom for men who have periods?
Student: Sounds great.
Interviewer: Ok- You dont see anything wrong with those statements?
Student: No.
Interviewer: What men do you know with periods?
Student: I generally use- ones like in Willy T* have pads, I use them pretty often.
*(Willy T is the college nickname for their library I’ve heard.)
I attend this school and I can confirm 2 things. Yes, our big library is indeed called Willy T AND the day that this stank bitch came to campus everyone was losing their MINDS and kept walking by in hopes of getting chosen to call her out. Immaculate.
i. am on the floor. wheezing. the moment she realizes that not only is she talking to a trans man,, but that SHE COULDN’T CLOCK HIM,, this is high art and i want it written in Big Wedge sharpie on my wall
fucking top tier shit right there. The face when she realizes, the way the person being interviewed is clearly waiting for the transphobic shit while still being polite, the casual way they drop in “I generally use, ones like in the Willy T have pads, I use them pretty often.” LIKE HOLY SHIT BRO YOU FUCKING KILLED HER? LOOK AT HOW STUNNED SHE LOOKS? THATS A FUCKING MURDER! A MURDER BUT NOT A FUCKING CRIME BROSKI!!!!
Who gives a good goddam if Harry Styles wore some raggedy ass ugly dress that doesn’t even look good on him.
Like why is this getting all this press? I don’t remember y’all getting this hype when young thug, a fucking rapper in the most misogynistic field on earth, wore a dress and he actually looked good unlike that raggedy white boy in his pride and prejudice ass dress
THIS is how you wear a motherfuckin dress.
Like white people are so boring.
I mean !!!!!!!!
Let’s reblog this until everybody sees it
This is hands down the best tik tok ever made.
mAM dOES yOUR hUSBAND HAVE NIPPLES
A universal experience.
[Transcription: all speech in the video is auto-tuned]
Story time: I’m a vet tech and one time I was [???] this lady for an appointment with her little dog who was covered in bugs
I searched this dog high and low for bugs, couldn’t find a single one
I said ma’am can you please point out these bugs to me
She said oh my gosh can’t you see them they’re right on his belly
She showed me her dog’s nipples and proceeded to try to rip them off
I said ma’am no stop
Those are his nipples
She said
There’s no way, he’s a boy
I said ma’am that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have nipples
Those are definitely his nipples, notice how they’re so symmetrical
She said no way, he’s a boy I said
Ma’am doesn’t your husband have nipples
I add vet tech storytime….lady brings in a kitten, terribly concerned he’s got a cold or asthma or something…he’s always making this alarming sound in his chest but he’s so active and affectionate and loves to snuggle. Neither her or her husband have ever had a cat before, so she just wants to make sure they get everything right and take good care of their newest family member.
I pet the kitten as I give this lady pamphlets and a personalized Cat Owner 101 lesson.
The kitten is leaving a great time, nearly comatose with happy in my lapm
She goes “That’s it!! That’s the sound!! What’s wrong with him?! If there’s anything we can do, we’ll do it! He’s my son’s best friend, we love him!”
I stare at her helplessly, fighting every impulse because this woman is so genuine in her love and concern for this, the first cat her family has ever experienced.
“Ma'am,” I say, so, SO gently.
“Ma'am, he’s purring. It means you’re making him happy.”
the video was sO FUNNY and then the last reply melted my entire heart
Adam Taurus Appreciation Post
You know, obviously I’m usually pretty negative toward him as a person, but I did want to take some time to talk about Adam and the things he does right. Because while many of his actions are widely criticized, it’s important to recognize that there are skills he possesses and uses that are simply unmatched in-universe and need to be acknowledged, not ignored in favor of relentless negativity.
It ties into his allusions and how those allusions help weave narratives. Especially Blake’s narrative, which would be very different if Adam wasn’t extremely good at a lot of valuable things. After all–in a lot of ways, Adam stands alone in this franchise. I just feel like he deserves to be appropriately talked up.
Compared to every other character, no one:
SQUAWKS LIKE GASTON
GETS COLD-COCKED LIKE GASTON
NO ONE DIES LIKE A BITCH ON A ROCK LIKE GASTON–
OR GETS HIT IN THE FACE WITH A MOOOOOOOOOTORCYCLE QUITE LIKE THAT DEAD GUY GASTON–
Jo you’re the funniest bitch in this fandom do you know that
See I don’t know about that but what I do know is that
NO ONE’S SPIKED LIKE GASTON
OR EATS BIKE LIKE GASTON
NO ONE LOSES HIS GIRL TO A DYKE LIKE GASTON–
DID I MENTION THE BIT WITH THE MOTORCYCLE–
Help a trans woman GET BACK ON HORMONE THERAPY this pride month!!!
My name is Juna and I started transitioning nearly a decade ago. That photo on the left was taken 4 years ago, shortly after I had to stop taking E. Can you tell how happy I was? That same happiness isn’t there in the picture on the right.. from this afternoon. I can’t tell you how horrible it is to be in the wrong body, and watch things finallty start to change for the better… …and then to have it snatched out of your fingertips by capitalism and a thoughtless pharmaceutical industry.
I’ve set up a GOFUNDME though I’ve got very little hopes that it’ll go anywhere..so I also have paypal and cashapp (below) also set up to recieve donations.
The goal on gofundme is a very lofty 5000$ which would pay for hormones for 2-3 years and would help me meet rent which I am regularly 2-300$ short on. But in reality, about 900$ would be enough to replace my almost-totally-gone wardrobe, get back on hormones for a few months, and replace my makeup (that my mom used almost all of while I was living stealth, but i forgive her)
If you have clothing or makeup youd like to donate, just inbox me! I really appreciate that too!
(If possible, use paypal or cashapp simply because I dont 100% trust gofundme ive heard bad things about them!)
Please. Please. PLEASE reblog this. A reblog can be EXTREMELY helpful, please put this infront of as many eyes as possible! (Edit: Cashapp & Paypal links were broken, but fixed now!)
my mom stole the last 300$ of my donation funds that was for clothes and glasses. and didnt even think to mention it until days later. im so mad. im so mad im so mad im so mad. please reblog this i’ve taken away her permission to manage my gofundme please i can barely fucking see across the room.
please reblog. please help me replace it
oh good
