Just a big fan. Pronouns of the great and beautiful country of Bosnia, which are She/Her.

they pronounced her dead and tried to give her a proper burial 😭 this must have been terrifying in the moment but that’s a little sweet and a little funny, I’m glad she made it out unscathed

BREAKING: 21-year-old protester, Kaden Rummler, was shot point-blank in the face by ICE. he just spoke about how he’s blind for life and almost died:

“I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.”

What the hell is wrong with these people?

GoFundMe for Kaden Rummler, the young trans man blinded by ICE agents this week.

Elephants eat 300+ pounds of foliage a day so they’re almost always moving and grazing in their waking hours but they will stop if another elephant cannot walk. They’re known to try to pick up the fallen elephant and stand and wait for them to remain enough strength to rise and walk if the elephant is injured or ill. Some Asian elephants reportedly guide injured wild elephants back to humans for help. I can’t help but think about adage attributed to Margaret Mead, first sign of civilization is a healed human femur. We know Neanderthals cared for the individuals in their community because there are archeological finds of Neanderthals with disabilities and healed major injuries that would have required the group assisting the individual to eat and drink during their recovery, instead of seeing the injured or disabled Neanderthal as a waste of resources, they valued them as an individual and were willing to put work into their recovery and survival. Elephants seem to view members of their species in the same way but due to their anatomy and cognition, they have a harder time rendering medical aid themselves, though they want to help.

he is a 9 year old boy with a stepmom who hates him. I think I’d also become sulky and stop doing the chores.

the series is full of light skinned characters and men who do this "showing up when you least wanted them to and didn't take no for an answer" thing (literally everyone's favorite games, gen 2, has silver doing this" AND he was arguably actually hostile to you) but jacinthe is the real villain suddenly.

wonder why.

furthermore it's telling that the light skinned man who literally holds a debt over urbain/tauney won't budge until you've done work for him but jacinthe just wants you to join her club because she likes having strong trainers, so like.

why the double standard?

The worst part of those stepparent forums is that they refuse to admit that being a stepchild sucks. Not because you want your mommy and daddy to get back together soooo bad or because you’re jealous that you’re not daddy’s only baby in the world anymore. It sucks because you are a child with absolutely zero agency. It sucks because you have no say on who your parents choose to bring into your life and you can’t do anything about it if that person hates you, mistreats you, has beef with you, a literal child. It sucks because you can’t even choose where you lay your head at night, you are bound by court order to go stay in a house you know you are not welcome in. It sucks because adults often take their hatred of another adult out on you and there is nothing you can do about it. Being a child sucks in a lot of ways, beyond the childlike wonder and the lack of financial responsibilities. It really does suck to be dependent on the adults in your lives and have them fail you. Being icy to your dad’s girlfriend of the month is sometimes the only way you can exert your power and hopefully warn her to get away, even if you can’t.

So my mom has an acquaintance friend who thinks I (as my deadname) died as a baby because she doesn't know I'm trans. This is very funny to me.

My mom didn't like, set out to lie. It's just that the friend was over while my mom was packing to move earlier this year, and spotted something from my childhood with my deadname on it. And this friend already knew that my mom only has one child. The friend went "oh, was this from a baby who passed?" My mom was unprepared and didn't know what else to say on the spot, but didn't want to out me, so she just went "yes." And NOW it's too late to correct this without it being weird for everyone. So uh. Now I am my own sibling, who died.

Putting the dead in deadname.
