Today is Mother's Day in the US, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, and many other countries. Currently there is an estimated 50,000 thousand pregnant women trapped in Rafah, Palestine without access to perinatal care. Over 180 a day are giving birth. Today we have an opportunity to help some of them. Operation Olive Branch has been collating vetted and confirmed GoFundMe campaigns for people trying to escape the 7 month long assault on Gaza. Part of their spreadsheet is dedicated to families dealing with perinatal to postpartum needs. There are 154 families that fall under this category. This Mother's Day I'm asking you all to have a look down the list on the link below, read the descriptions of their circumstances, and pick a GoFundMe to donate to. I know times are tough but even $5 can help a family reach their goal. If you can't afford to donate, please consider spreading the word.

no moderation at all would be better than this. legitimately. i can block the nazis and zionists and transmisogynists myself, the only time moderation staff step in is to remind me nd my friends that we're not welcome. they're fucking cops, they dont serve shit, they dont protect shit, they're just in it to hurt people and exert power
(let me know if you have other books)

Here’s a link to a petition to protect Native American land in NC from a gas station chain which poses immense environmental threats, has violated workers rights, and will destroy land with historical significance to natives. My ancestors traveled the trading path they plan to build over. Please sign if you have a moment
@staff @humans @support @photomatt @cyle @zingring
why have i not heard anything back in over 2 months about a report i filed regarding a harrassment and stalking campaign against me for the entirety of the last year?
why, the first time i tried to submit a report about this, did i just get an email back saying "oh sorry, wrong email, go here instead :)" within a day? how come thats faster, but not this?
how come, in the time its taken to reply to me about the stalking and harrassment, have you deleted my main account @predstrogen even when you have stated before that it is not breaking terms of service after it was flagged due to the same reports that got me banned?
how come this has happened before in summer, when your websites system was flagging anything involving trans women as explicit, including my own selfies and transition timeline? especially when several known staff users have commented about this exact situation, i recall people even mentioning me specifically! [1 - 2 - 3]
and on top of all that, ive been seeing a massive uptick in right wing users openly harrassing me, even going as far as to admit theyre reporting me and making up lies about me as a trans woman. so many people have told me theyre recieving anonymous asks slandering me. is your site going to do anything about that? [1 2 3]
or is your site going to ban me again on here, and delete every single thing ive uploaded saying it "breaks TOS". even my transition timeline, my fucking face and identity. like you did already
am i ever going to see anything get better? all three of my past accounts, @madhopz, @sadhopz, and now @predstrogen have been deactivated after a year. its a pattern, and you havent listened to any requests for help against this harrassment
if youre seeing, please reblog this. this blog might not be around too long either, i want it known that this happened again so i dont get ignored again. i have a paper trail, evidence and defence for everything
Sometimes self-care is, actually, NOT getting onto the computer and little treats and watching youtube videos. Sometimes those things are self-care, but sometimes they're also avoidant behaviors.
Sometimes self care is waking up and just. Fucking getting in the car. And driving to the bank. And the store. And buying the cat litter. And changing the cat boxes you've been avoiding because your brains been stuck in a hole. And picking up the trash you've been piling up. And getting a load into the wash. And mowing the lawn before the village council sends you a formal complaint and potential-fines warning.
Like its hard and annoying to do because it sucks. It sucks so much. But if I don't start working on this pile of bullshit I've let build up because it stinks and i was stuck in deer-in-headlights mode, I risk letting it turn into fuckery. I do not have the patience for fuckery that I once - foolishly! - thought I had.
