Miss Major, a Black trans woman who’s been an activist for LGBT communities for DECADES, has had her fundraiser up for FIVE YEARS by know, which is for her to be able to retire with dignity. Not with luxury, but with dignity.
We’re talking about a lady who was at Stonewall, the incident that the white kweers love to talk about. She’s dedicated her whole life to LGBT rights and other causes, she’s done WAY more for LGBT rights than a stupid white gay show could ever dream to do, and that if it actually isn’t a scam.
And that shit gets funded within two days? 15,000 in less than two fucking days and Miss Major hasn’t reached her goal of 200,000 since May 2013.
She’s at 117,991 dollars as of now, after more than five years.
If people had donated a little over 210 dollars each two days she’d be reaching her goal JUST NOW. If this Butch Pal thing fundraiser had been open for about the same time that Miss Major’s has, getting 15,000 each two days, in those same five years they’d get around 14,175,000 dollars.
If Miss Major had steadily received 15,000 dollars each two days, she would have reached her goal within less than a month.
But I guess an unrealistic dumb white show made by transmisogynists and antisemites who hate poor people and threat 17 years old kids for criticizing them is way more important than giving back to a woman who’s done so much for LGBT rights for such a long time.
In the early 1800s a man named Little Jon lived in this so called earth cabin (swe. ‘backstuga’) located in southern Småland, Sweden. An earthen cabin is built partially buried in the ground, in this case there’s three walls of stone and one wall made of wood. In Sweden earthen cabins was common in the forests from the 1600s until the late 1800s Link
at first i thought it was the same number then I noticed it said GB and damn
As one of the tech review magazines said a few years ago when the first 32 GB micro SD cards came out, “At last it is possible for a single human being to accidentally swallow all of the data collected by the Apollo Program.”
Its nice that we get to die someday. Imagine being immortal and suddenly you remember all the emberassing things you did in the last 2000 years. Horrible
Me, as a vampire: oh geez
Friend: What’s wrong
Me: Just remembered that time in 1654 when the tavern maid said “Enjoyeth thy meal!” I replied with “Thee as well”
as long as my list of favorite literary devices is getting notes, i want to talk about that other thing i like, which seems to annoy quite a lot of people nowadays: heroes with no-kill rules!
i love this kind of character! i don’t care if their morality seems naive or self-righteous! honestly deciding not to take lives while you dedicate your time to saving them seems intuitive to me, anyway. and for a character it can come from so many different places
like you’ve got characters who clearly have the power to kill but choose not to, because they find goodness in humanity — because they’re courageous and refuse to take the easy way of defeating their enemies — because they’re deliberately choosing not to set themselves above the rest of the world by playing executioner (like superman, like the justice league’s policy as a whole)
and you’ve got heroes who refuse to kill for the sake of their own mental health, as they deal with their own trauma re: killing, and who strive to be a symbol of hope despite their dark circumstances (like batman)
there are heroes who don’t kill because of faith, which isn’t always in the ~goodness of humanity, but in the possibility of redemption; a faith that says human life should be sacred and murder is wrong for that reason (like daredevil or the doctor, selectively speaking — i think at their best that’s what these characters want to be)
the reason that seems to garner the most ridicule is when a hero poses the question “does killing x make me as bad as x?” fandom tends to respond with a resounding ‘no’ and get bored of it quickly, and i don’t think it’s a horse that needs to get beaten in the ground. but i think it’s perfectly legitimate for a hero to struggle with all that, especially when trauma is involved, and it can create really interesting conflicts when it’s done well (like batman’s ideology versus jason todd’s)
i believe the human conscience is precious. i believe that characters who have no-kill mandates don’t deserve to be pushed out of that or mocked — and i refuse to believe that when someone decides life is the one thing they should never take into their own hands, except to save it, they should eventually deny it and find murder the necessary or better option. by all means complicate their morality, let them struggle with the opposite point of view, show them being holier-than-thou and then show how they’re fallible, but, please — don’t cheer someone on toward losing the part of them that doesn’t want to kill.
also if the hero is an actual child they always 100% get free access to this trope
