this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning, and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.

@elytrians @thebibliosphere you both may have better reach for this

Oh, fuck entirely all of that. UK tumblr, let’s go.

Revolutionary French Unions on a strike now???? Revolutionary French unions???? Where are my navel gazing western leftists at?????

For three months Sarambounou, 41, worked between eight- and 11-hour shifts for 80 euros per day.
Obviously, "overtime was never paid," he said ruefully. 
"I accepted because I know my situation. If you don't have papers, you do all the hard work, all the crappy jobs. You have no choice," he said as he boiled water on a stove on the floor of the tiny room he shares with four compatriots.
"Everyone knows what's going on, but nobody talks about it", said a smiling Sarambounou, who was kicked off an Olympic building site last year after a raid by labour inspectors.

Everyone elses intrusive thoughts seem so friendly...

(Then again most people can't differentiate impulsive from intrusive but that's ok, not everyone understands)

Anyway, a lot of people's intrusive thoughts are just like "Eat the table. Eat the table right now. Bite it." and then mine are like "Wouldn't it be just so funny and joyful if someone crawled out from under your bed in the middle of the night and you woke up to them staring at you?"... Or even like "If you crack your neck again it's going to break and you're just going to fucking die right then and there."

Like no brain, but thank you I guess...

No this because all if mine are truly awful. I've talked to people about Instruvise thoughts before and the worst I heard was "I thought about bititng off the writing end of my pencil!" I cant even go outside my room past certain times

hey if you're a UK resident can you sign this petition and if not please rb to spread the word

this is an official UK government petition that they have to respond to if it reaches 10,000 signatures

So, this one is actually a lot more important than reporting and blocking spam bots. That post has 20,000 notes rn, so it would mean a lot to me if you could give the same treatment to this as you gave to that (@neil-gaiman if you're listening).

If the petition gets 100,000 signatures they have to consider it for debate in parliament.

It's a crime that Gender Recognition Reform was blocked in England, but Scottish MPs voted it into law and that the UK Parliament overturned that is in direct contravention of democracy as a whole.

It's a pretty serious big deal. Please sign, or, if you're not a UK citizen, please boost.

Hamidreza Rouhi was a 19, avid biker, a university student and a model. He was shot and killed by security forces on November 17 in Shahr-e ziba, a neighborhood in the western part of Tehran.

His last instagram post reads: “If the internet gets shut down forever, I want this to be my last post: Long live women, Long live freedom, Long live Iran.”

State media initially claimed that Hamidreza was a member of the Basij militia of the Revolutionary Guards, blamed protesters for his killing, and called him a “martyr” as in the case of several other protesters.

They had to admit later that he was a protester after his friends exposed the lie by posting photos of him on social media showing him protesting and chanting.

“They killed Hamidreza and claimed him as a Basiji”, mourners chanted at his memorial service at Behesht-e Zahra three days after his death.

“Despite the heavy presence of repression agents at Behesht Zahra [cemetery] from the early hours of the morning, a large number of participants managed to gather for this ceremony,” a participant told IranWire.

The security forces “started attacking people" when the crowd chanted slogans against the clerical regime such as “death to [Supreme leader Ali] Khamenei.”

His name will never be forgotten. Along with thousands more who have died in the last 44 years, Hamidreza will forever be in our hearts.

Remaking this post bc notes got high and we cant afford for progress to slow.

My roomate my I are homeless, trans, disabled and we have one day to pay for the next week at the place we are staying. We are getting it for fair rental price for the area. We're staying here while we look for places with our housing funds.

We also need to get food today. Because we have a lot of allergies and if we don't go today it might be after Christmas till we can find anything. I'm raising the goal for this.
