I'm getting increasingly frustrated at the fact that I have not seen anybody on here. talk about the state of transgender rights in the state of Iowa. Our governor, Kim Reynolds, has signed a law that removes transgender and non-binary people's civil rights that protect them from being discriminated against when it comes to housing, education, and employment.
Iowa has become the first state to approve this legislation that prevents transgender and non-binary people from being protected under the state's civil rights code. This law, effective July 1st, is all under the guise of protecting people assigned female at birth; keeping transgender people out of bathrooms and locker rooms.
It's aim? To create explicit legal definitions of what it means to be male and female solely based on reproductive organs, which in turn denies that an individual can transition to another gender.
Where is everybody's outrage? Where is the support for trans and non-binary people's lives and rights in a Red state? Where is your fucking compassion for us? I've had it with people living comfortably and cozy in their own worlds, not seeing outside their fucking bubbles and not supporting the rest of their community as our rights crumble right before our eyes.
a lil cutie i designed! their name is Lum! expect more!
yea okay the funny musical platformer game sounds. good as hell.
i'm very invested
The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes.
To turn it off
go to the eShop
go to your profile where your funds and account info is
go down to the bottom of the page
there you will see “Google Analytics Preferences”
select the Change
select “Don’t Share”
Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.
“… What is it, exactly, that you need?” Daroach asked, trying so hard not to betray his growing fear as Dark Meta Knight grew closer and closer.

In which I reveal that I am vampires georg. Anyway darkmetaroach fans, come get yall juice. Thank @veinsfullofstars for getting me into rarepair hell!
parents told me last night after seeing my maga sister at church that they are giving me til next sunday to leave. the waitlists for shelters here are very long. i live outside of the city anyways in a rural area & would have to walk for hours to get to one without an uber/lyft etc. unless one of my few acquaintances from high school who might still live in the city can take me in for the rest of the month i probably will be sleeping in a tent outside in the cold with packs of noisy coyotes about. i have a place to go in january, i just need money to eat while i’m here & get my stuff there so i don’t have to abandon my things for my parents to sell.
please help a disabled trans mexican native (apache + chichimeca) 19 y/o this holiday season? thank you everyone ❤️

In Gaza, we don't live — we survive, We starve… we drink contaminated water, We’re displaced again and again, We sleep to the sound of bombing and wake up to new fear, Our homes are rubble, and our dignity is buried beneath it, And still, the world stays silent — as if our pain doesn’t reach, If there’s still a conscience out there, then hide it from us… because we’re tired of screaming into the void💔.
