I = good person
racist = bad person
Therefore, I =/= racist

People fear being labeled a bad person. The problem is getting people to understand that having prejudicial thoughts is not what makes you bad—on the contrary, wrestling with those prejudices is what makes you good.

Are people ACTUALLY still going to #Hawaii for vacations?

That's....YUCK.

I am judging you hard.

🌆 Native Hawaiians priced out of their homes due to overdevelopment,

🌋 climate change + ignorant haole wreaking havoc on the environment & gobbling up natural resources -- from the actual people who live there --, and

🤬 a general lack of respect for the the OCCUPIED ancestral land of more than half a million people.

Go to Minnesota or something.😒 They've got lakes.

Whoever got mad about people using the term ‘mutual aid’ because they think ‘mutual’ means it needs to be an exact 1-1 transaction missed the point entirely. It doesn’t even need to be about semantics, the point of mutual aid is building up a community in which people can ask for help, and if you don’t need help right now, great! But if/when you do, you have this community you can go to for help. That’s where the ‘mutual’ part comes in

If you want to apologize:

* Do what it takes to understand what you did wrong
* Accept responsibility for it
* Acknowledge that the offence was real, don't minimize the harm or "both-sides" it
* Do not dismiss the offence as a matter of the other party's feelings only
* Say that your conduct was not acceptable
* Remember that your intentions don't excuse you if you hurt someone
* Indicate that you regret it
* Gesture toward moving forward/making things right/making amends

(Edit: Goal reached! Thanks so much.)

Hey y'all, with SNAP's emergency allotments possibly ending after January, we're going to be tight on cash for a bit.

I need to be able to pick up our regular prescriptions and supplies, as well as my 6-month teeth cleaning which will run about $350 altogether.

If you want to help out your friendly neighborhood queer streamers, our paypal is below.

Any amount and even a boost helps a ton!

Things I wanna do someday: make a mod that adds a loot bug chasing a hamster ball with gold in it to the space rig in deep rock galactic

Lucky the lootbug, pet for good fortune*

*petting does not adjust luck, but loot bug purrs are soothing

TIL using an oil diffuser is something you generally shouldn't do if you have a pet as many oils are toxic to them:

mutual aid request; begpost; trans black gal in need of help 

thanks everybody for your continued mutual aid. My posts have been reaching people and donations are coming in and I'm forever grateful for every and each mutual aid of all of you.

I'm still halfway through being able to have my monthly bills covered tho. I can pay the next bills.

so once again I'm begging for some of your time so you can mutual aid me into being able to survive for another month >.<

if you can mutual aid me some boosts or any donations it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm really hoping this next month I can actually start actually earning any money through any of my work so I can at least depend less on mutual aid >.<

I need to drag my ass to bed but for some reason I'm using old memes as a vehicle for PSAs instead.

Remember your alt text!

where do ya'll get nice enamel pins made?!
a local pride group wants to make a set and i wanted to help them out.
preferably Canadian company.

So, "Science Fiction Double Feature" is likely the best song about Science Fiction movies, but is written by a transphobe, and I'm not gonna expose that to a group of trans identified folks (even if it's the amazing Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies version).

Any other songs about science fiction out there I could use? Preferably about movies?

if you're setting any resolutions for the new year: remember "rugged individualism" is a lie, and there's no shame in asking for help.

If your personal goals include other people, they're more likely to succeed.

We're all good for our family's rent thanks to your generosity and support, folks!

No more updates on this from me, I've also deleted the mutual aid hashtagged posts from the thread so they don't clutter up the 'verse. Thanks for your patience with the number of edits.

Appreciate y'all. 🙏🏻 Be well!

hey, would you take a few seconds to a black autistic trans gal (that is also probably plural oh god) out? 🥺

the donations are coming in and I'm super helpful. I've been able to cover up this months bills but I'm still in need for the next months. I have still been unable to work because I'm so stressed I can't possibly focus even though I'm trying a lot 😩

so, if you could help me out with a boost or maybe a donation I would love it. it would be amazing if I could expend the new year's eve without having to worry about this >.<

thanks everybody for your continued support. It really means a lot to me. 💜

Ode to moth 

While the sun is up
I have a sleep
But when night falls
I do a squeak

I flap around
To find honey
But sometimes bonk
Into a cutie

Lamp is good
This much is true
But the brightest light
Is a smile from you!
