My name is Jesse, I'm a disabled trans man, and I really need help to move away from my unsupportive family and a state that's becoming increasingly hostile. I have a place to go, I just need to get there by the end of the year.
If you can help, I would appreciate it more than I can say.
Hey guys.
This is my very good friend Jesse of many years, who is in a nasty position, and who we are hoping can move in with me as soon as possible. We've worked out a timeline and cost breakdown but due to his poor health and other complications, he frankly needs all the funding he can get.
We've worked out a timeline, budget and execution plan, all we need is the funds, and donating really will help save his life in a very material way.
Thank you all who can donate, or who can help boost this.
This includes not only trimming trees that were providing shade to picketers, but tearing up the sidewalk on the picket line, forcing picketers to walk in the streets, which resulted in two picketers being struck by cars.
oh seems very suspicious to see the barbie movie tumblr pop up on my dash after the strike. maybe it was made before, but I’m actually seeing it now
remember:
there’s no boycott on going to see new media
but there is a promotional blackout
don’t do the studio’s marketing work for them
I just checked their archive. They created it Today, July 17th.
prior to the strike they did not have an official tumblr lmaoooo
don’t reblog their shit
Reminder also, though, that the promotional blackout only officially applies to SAG-AFTRA members, Influencers working under the SAG-AFTRA agreement, and Influencers who may want to work under the SAG-AFTRA agreement in the future. If you are not being paid to promote the film as an influencer or paid to promote other things as an influencer so that “organic” promotion may appear to be sponsored, and are not a member of SAG-AFTRA, you are not included in the promotional blackout and any lack of interaction with official social media is up to you.
Also reminder that even if you decide not to interact with official social media in solidarity, there has been no request by the union for consumers to boycott the content made prior to the strike, and that would in fact be the opposite of helpful at this point, so if you want to go see the Barbie movie or w/e, you should absolutely do so.
shits getting wild out here
Hi! I live here.
You may think this is funny, because of the King of the Hill meme about the hubris of man and whatever.
Okay. That's fine.
It is 11pm right now.
It is 102 degrees.
The normal high for this time of year is 107 degrees.
The high this week, according to my weather app, will be 119.
It is so hot in Phoenix that paint is melting off street signs.
It is so hot in Phoenix that you have to wear gloves to open most doors.
It is so hot in Phoenix that I'm watching potholes form as asphalt buckles.
It is so hot in Phoenix that if you have a pay-by-use electric meter--which is pretty common here, especially in low-income areas--electricity for one day is currently running about $20. In wintertime in the same house it's about $6.
It is so hot in Phoenix that when you get out of your car you have to buckle your seatbelt, because you can give yourself second-degree burns grabbing it if the metal is allowed to sit in the sun.
It is so hot in Phoenix that unlike the fake viral photo of the grandma baking bread in her mailbox in Houston, you can actually literally fry an egg on the sidewalk here.
We have one of the largest per capita homeless populations in the United States.
The shelters are full.
Yeah, okay. The meme is funny.
Until it isn't.
Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
This is a scheduled post for two days before the anniversary of the moon landing. Please get your moon themed items and foods sorted now in anticipation.
With the actors and writers strike in the U.S., I'm reminded of this tweet from John Cho who got zero payment from a residual check.
I would further like to add that “cabal” is an antisemitic dogwhistle a pretty decent chunk of the time. You’ll really only see it used in three contexts: people using it as a dogwhistle, people using it not knowing it’s a dogwhistle and thus making it easier to fly under the radar, and, rarely, in a joking way where they not only don’t know it’s a dogwhistle, they’re not even entirely sure how the word is supposed to be used.
It has its origins in the word “Kabbalah,” which is a Jewish learning pathway so closed that even most Jews can’t partake in it. (It’s Jewish mysticism, and at an absolute bare minimum to begin study you should be a Jewish adult extremely well-versed in Torah and Talmud; the stricter Orthodox practice states you must be a learned, male, married Torah scholar over the age of 40.) Because people enjoy shitting on closed practices, goyim were quick to go IT IS SECRET SINISTER WORLD-DOMINATION PLANS, and that is where the word cabal came from.
So: if you mean “monopoly,” as in “The Walt Disney Company has brought almost all modern major audiovisual properties under its control in a monopoly that controls well over 75% of wide-release and streaming media,” please say monopoly.

Hey. Gentiles. Listen up for a sec.
When September and October are nearing and you’re planning an event: google “Rosh Hashanah *year*” and *Yom Kippur *year*” and then, and I cannot stress this enough, don’t plan your event on those days. In fact, don’t plan any events starting sundown the night before. Those are the three most important days of the Jewish calendar, and, once again, I cannot stress enough how much this little bit of forethought and kindness will make every Jew you know cry tears of joy.
Rosh Hashanah is September 16th, 2033
Tom Kippur is September 25th, 2023
you’ve been told’t
I would also advice that scheduling on September 26th is a bad idea. There’s nothing really happening, it’s just we’ll all have just spent 25 hours without food or water, facing our own mortality and pondering ourselves as both human beings and part of a millennia-long community, examining our own shortcomings and squaring with ourselves on who we are and what we’ve done. That sounds super dramatic, but that’s it, that’s what Yom Kippur is. It’s fucking draining, y'all. Nobody the day after Yom Kippur has the energy to do literally anything. We are physically and emotionally exhausted.
So save it for the 27th, and we’ll all say todah rabah. (Our great thanks.)
