a friend just tipped me off about Fund a Kitchen in Gaza, a free tool that helps you locate and donate to community kitchens currently serving some of Gaza's most vulnerable!

this lets you choose a region (south, central, north) and see which kitchens operate in that area, then donate to as many as you can.

as a reminder, community kitchens try to buy and cook in bulk, which makes ingredients last longer & sustain more people in the conditions of extreme scarcity that Israel is imposing right now. they are also able to serve people on the ground who may not have the means to reach out online.

so, whether through this tool or not, please do support community kitchens, as well as mutual aid groups that cover additional needs, such as the Sameer Project (meals, tents, cash aid, medical aid) and Dahnoun Mutual Aid (meals, tents, baby supplies, cash aid, winter clothes).

Hey listen everybody the Prairieland case is a real "all hands on deck" type of situation. They're gonna hang these folks out to dry and use that as further precedent for making protesters disappear. It's fucked. Like I can't stress how important it is to get as many eyes on this as possible. Tell everybody and their grandma.

Like I know some of us has got friends with media connections and some of us has got like ten hundred bazillion followers and all that type of stuff. Use it for somethin.

(and plz actually reblog the linked posts instead of just reblogging this post)

yeah

Please write to them too. They may not be able to respond but the support means a lot.

I think every movie regardless of time period or tone should have at least 1 (one) trans person in it. Like at the beginning of The Godfather some Sicilian tgirl should come to Vito and be like “Godfadda, I need money for my breast implants” and Vito should be like “I’ll never forget what you’ve done for this family. I’ll find you the best surgeon in New York”

Completely unrelated, but current students of OU are transferring out and alumni are wanting refunds for their tuition, since OU has made it abundantly clear that their degrees aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

If you call the university's main number and express polite confusion over the situation, they will transfer you to someone to talk to about it. So if you feel like playing Concerned Parent: 1-405-325-0311

And here’s the business of the mom who orchestrated this whole plan to get a trans woman fired from teaching, in case you want to let her customers know what a lying sack of shit she is

The ominous fog called to me and while nothing cool happened while i was wandering the forest Wanting Something To Happen, I did snap a picture behind some apartments after I left the fog bc I wanted to show you this

Friendly reminder that the intro to Lion King….the non english bits leading up to the “circle of life” is not random yelling in *Africa voice* it is an actual language, Zulu, spoken by 10 million people, it is the most widely spoken language (out of 11) in the country of South Africa (1 out of the 54 countries in the continent of Africa, the continent home  to somewhere between 1500-2000 languages and around 3000 distinct ethnic groups)

this isn’t to say that you have to friggin learn the language to sing along with a disney film, it just means that you should be mindful, respectful, appreciative and respectful. don’t be yelling out whatever noise comes in to your head when you hear it

Ok but someone knows what does this say?

The lyrics before the english comes in…in “circle of life”

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father] Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it’s a lion] Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father] Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it’s a lion] Ingonyama [It’s a lion] Siyo Nqoba [We’re going to conquer] Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place] (repeats) [queue English lyrics]

I would like to further add that language has there own cultural nuances so something that can sound extremely meaningful in one languages may not sound as majestic when translated to another (I know this as someone who has an understanding of 5 languages and speaks 3 of them fluently) so if you are thinking “oh it ain’t that deep they are just yelling: the lion is coming!” dial it back

Worth noting that “lion” and especially the word Ingonyama is a very respectful word to talk about a Zulu king, especially in praise. It’s so heavily associated with royalty in isiZulu that a different word is used for an animal lion - Ibhubesi. This isn’t just announcing the arrival of an animal, it’s celebrating the arrival (or coronation?) of the king

Lemme tell you, I was not dividing those syllables into words in the right places AT ALL

I would also like to state that the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” is an extremely washed out version of the original song “Mbube” by Solomon Linda, a South African musician. It was appropriated by the west and he never received credit or money for what became an extremely famous song. His family eventually received a small sum from Disney for the song but again, not much considering the history of the song. There is a documentary about it right now on netflix. 

This is one of my most favourite posts I’ve made but I hate all of the typos on my part….but I’m grateful it landed with people

Learned something new 👍👍👍 today

And The Lion King is the only Disney film officially dubbed in Zulu! https://disneyinternationaldubbings.weebly.com/the-lion-king–zulu-cast.html

A recent post breached containment so I think it's time for some rent lowering:

Trans children should have the right to undergo the correct puberty at the same time as their peers.

Puberty blockers were only ever a compromise and should not be seen as the end goal of trans advocacy.

in the late 2000's the noh8 campaign was established in order to duct tape hundreds of celebrities' mouths shut so they would stop saying faggot
