consider though: coffee shop romance between rival sword-wielding vigilantes who look different when they're in action, magical girl style.
we can have it all if only we allow ourselves to indulge
they're meant to die by each other's sword why are they in a coffee shop
I am in the midst of a move to a new city and state that is much safer for me as a trans woman.
My partner died a few months ago, i found her body in the apartment where we built a life together for the past 5 years and i had to leave after that, ive had the good fortune to have somewhere to stay, with a change in administration and a difficult past year it's time to move to somewhere new.
I am looking to raise $3,800 to help facilitate this move to a safer, and healthier place for me to start grief counseling. I also have car repairs I need to do in order to continue working and also funds to take my cat to the vet. I also need funds for necessities like groceries and medical care as well
anything helps, if you can spare it
REFUSE TO BE A BIO WEAPON OF THE STATE!
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
DON'T PARTICIPATE IN GENOCIDE!
WEAR AN N95 IN ALL INDOOR + CROWDED OUTDOOR SPACES!
WE KEEP US SAFE!
Another day another adventure for the postwoman
West Papua’s Indigenous people have called for a boycott of KitKat, Smarties and Aero chocolate, Oreo biscuits and Ritz crackers, and the cosmetics brands Pantene and Herbal Essences, over alleged ecocide in their territory.
All are products that contain palm oil and are made, say the campaigners, by companies that source the ingredient directly from West Papua, which has been under Indonesian control since 1963 and where thousands of acres of rainforest are being cleared for agriculture.
More than 90 West Papuan tribes, political organisations and religious groups have endorsed the call for a boycott, which they say should continue until the people of West Papua are given the right to self-determination.
Raki Ap, a spokesperson for the United Liberation Movement for West Papua, which is overseeing the call, said: “These products are linked to human rights violations, in the first place, because West Papuans are being forced, with violence, to get off the land where they’ve lived for thousands of years, which has now resulted in ecocide.
“This is a signal to the countries who are dealing with Indonesia, especially those in the Pacific region, to take notice of who they’re dealing with and how they are basically allowing Indonesia to continue the colonial project in West Papua, the human rights violations, and also ecocide.”
West Papuans say more than 500,000 of their people have been killed by the occupation in the past six decades, while millions of acres of their ancestral lands have been destroyed for corporate profit. Indonesia, already the world’s largest palm oil exporter, is now breaking ground in West Papua on the world’s biggest single palm oil plantation, as well as a sugar cane and biofuel plantation that will be the largest deforestation project ever launched.
“West Papuans’, especially the ULMWP, position is very clear: we are a modern-day colony,” said Ap, speaking from the Netherlands.
“Indonesia hijacked the right to self-determination in 1962 when the Netherlands and Indonesia signed an agreement without any consultation in West Papua … After that, in 1969, there was a so-called referendum, which wasn’t fair, which wasn’t under international law, one man, one vote: just 1,025 men were handpicked at gunpoint to vote for integration to Indonesia.
“So this is the foundation of the Indonesia’s colonial project. When we became part of Indonesia against our will, basically the genocide unfolded.”

listen. I don’t. But I am always trapped in a vicious cycle.
And the only thing that breaks this cycle is the dread of an imminent deadline
its all 'be gay do crime' until a black person starts making allusions to drugs or sex or god forbid VIOLENCE and then it turns out nobody can handle anything more hardcore than downloading illegal torrents of hamilton
imagine seriously telling your transfem sibling you don't think trans girls should be allowed to compete in sports, moments after saying "live and let live" to try to avoid criticism for liking el*n and tr*mp.
