Hey if your are an ally to the Black and marginalized communities, please read this.
There is a new non profit called We Da People. Its black youth, female run, and it’s goal is to provide resources to the black community. They are planning on traveling all over the US this summer and are going to provide education and resources to neglected communities.
Guys, you have no idea how amazing planned parenthood is, Iucked into it because I was looking for a gender clinic saw that they provided that service and they happened to be the one I called.
I had originally called to get more concise information on what I needed, as well as what prices I’d be looking at, (I had heard the horror stories, I was expecting to jump through several hoops and sit on waiting list) but instead they just set up for an appointment for a month (it was still a month till my 18th birthday at the time, so I needed to wait then) on the spot and said I would be able to start right then
I was shook, but I still didn’t think that would be it right, u thought that would be to good to be true, because even if it was that easy, it’ll still be expensive right? Wrong. Turns out planned parenthood has a ton of stuff for helping out with people without insurance, or whose insurance won’t cover the expenses, so my appointments ended up being only about $60 dollars a visit, and there were some follow up appointments they comped completely because they just had the excess funds
Long story short, planned parenthood is amazing and if you’re looking for HRT, they are your best bet
a fifteen year old black girl was shot four times in the chest by columbus police in columbus, ohio.
as derek chauvin was found guilty, a black child lost her life to police.
we still don’t know her name, but we’ll scream it the minute we do.
“well that can’t be worse”
except it is.
except this child got jumped by the other girls present. she was afraid for her life enough to grab a knife and call the cops herself.
let me repeat that.
the black child that they killed was so afraid she called the cops herself.
they killed the very person who asked for their help.
and before you flip over the knife, they didn’t even ask her to disarm. they got out and immediately opened fire on her and shot her four times with deadly intent.
i’m such a small blog but i’m begging y’all to spread this story. i can’t speak directly to this- no matter how hurt and angry and thrown by all of this i am, my voice isn’t the one that matters. i recognize that. but i’m still begging for this to not be overlooked. say her name, remember her- remember that this fight never ended, and keep fighting it.
derek chauvin being found guilty is a victory, but we can’t let that blind us to the fact that this has kept happening and never actually stopped. even if the protests went quiet, that doesn’t mean things changed. we have to hold them accountable and we have to remember those who have died and will continue to die beneath the shadow of everything else that’s happened this year.
the most insane part of this is tgis person is almost certainly just bold faced lying? because the trial isnt actually fully “over,” the jurors wouldnt have internet access yet. like. whats happening here. is this person just lying about being a juror in the chauvin trial for clout
it was literally a school debate trial you dork ass losers.
how about instead of posting screencaps of inglorious bastards to represent our neo-nazi killing moods why don’t we share pictures of actual WWII jewish defiance
Members of the Bielski partisans, an organization of Jewish partisans who rescued Jews from extermination in western Belarus. These guys lived in the fuckin forest for two years and saved 1,236 Jews during that time.
Members of The Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye (United Partisan Organization),
a Jewishresistance organization based in the Vilna Ghetto that organized armed resistance against the Nazis during World War II.
Anyways that’s just a sample and all of the information I got from the Wikipedia page that you can refer to and find more badass Jewish defiance from WWII. Contrary to what the media will tell you, we weren’t just sad prisoners waiting for the “generous goyim” to save us. We fought back, and we fought back hard. Don’t undermine actual Jewish resistance through screencaps of Brad Pitt from a movie that frankly put more of a spotlight on the “generous goyim” who killed the nazis more so than “The Bear Jew”.
Jews defied the holocaust. We defied our genocide. Don’t forget us.
remember that the reason that there is even room to ask why we “didn’t resist” is because the allies need to alleviate their own guilt by turning themselves into heroes—especially america.
now that george floyd’s murderer is behind bars, let’s help support the people who helped with the guilty verdict as well as george’s family. the fight is hardly over.
darnella’s fund - darnella was the young woman who filmed george’s last moments.
gianna’s fund - george’s daughter who has now been left without a father.
ppl with tumblr blogs older than 7 yrs old have been getting deleted randomly in the epitome of Functional Website so given this blog is from 2012 if i disappear suddenly, know i did not purposefully delete
For folks with older blogs, might be a good idea to job down Tumblr’s direct support email address now:
support@tumblr.zendesk.com
(That’s what I’ve corresponded with in the past.)
I know someone whose partner’s blog got axed yesterday, but he had it back in a couple of hours after corresponding with Tumblr support.
Here’s hoping they figure out what’s causing this and FIX IT SOON.
About to vanish into nothingness again, lads!
As someone who works with Zendesk, please don’t email that address directly unless absolutely necessary. Instead, use the tumblr support portal, which is at
Support workers use these portals because it allows them to perform triage better. You send in an email separately and they have to work to get the info from you that you neglected to include. Multiple back-and-forth emails just to get info that could have been included from the start makes their resolution times go up, which is one of the only metrics that bosses use to measure whether their staff is doing their job well. In other words, we get in trouble when our times go up, even if it’s your fault for bypassing the support portal. Some support departments have this automated, so that if you select “terminated account” it automatically goes to the people who deal with terminated accounts. Please, for the love of god, use the form that tumblr provides to file a support ticket.
in light of the absolutely horrific news about Ma’Khia Bryant’s death at the hands of the Columbus PD i just wanted to take a moment to link Loveland, a nonprofit that provides therapy to black girls and women if people are looking for support or people are looking for somewhere to support right now
