An artist : Aw man! I saw my arts were reposted on Instagram. I’ve asked them to take my arts down but they ignored me.
Me : Say no more! Click this link, then click ‘fill out this form’. Fill the form and wait for about 1-2 days, the staffs will remove the image you were reporting from the reposter’s account :^)
Edits for people who don't know!
1. Periods:
When we have periods, we cannot fast in Ramadan, but we have to pay the lost days back by fasting in another month immediately!
2. Medicine:
Medicine is taken in Sahur or Iftar, the meals before and after fasting, however if your illness requires you to take it during the day, it's okay to not fast, but you still have to pay it back if you heal again.
Point 1 and 2: it's done like this because your health comes first. Fasting requires you to be in optimal condition, and Allah will not force you outside of your own limitations.
3. What if your Illness is so bad?
If your illness cannot heal and you're sick all the time, you can pay Fidyah instead of paying the fast back. Fidyah is donating to feed the poor.
4. Music
Depending on different Madhabs or opinions, many people have debated whether or not Music is haram. It is often discussed due to some music having the ability to arouse sexual feelings or hinder worship in general. Ofc you can choose which opinions works best for you, you must know that if you do consider music not haram, don't let it hinder your prayers, fasting, or Quran reading.
5. Swearing
It doesn't officially break the fast, BUT it greatly reduces the rewards. Fasting is about self control, some say swearing makes your fasting useless even though it doesn't break it.
honestly though not to sound like the joker but the sooner you realize "normality" is a social construct and everyone's concept of "normal" is personal and subjective and you will never be "normal" or "socially acceptable" to everyone so you might as well just find or make a space and community where you can be the version of yourself that makes you happy the sooner your life will change for the better
Hello besties. Since Ramadan is starting I’d just like to point out something about the “nsfr” tags. (It would be cool if y’all reblogged)
I’m not sure why those even started but they really go against the purpose of fasting itself. One of the very important aspects of fasting is self control and patience, muslims are supposed to live their regular lives while fasting and practice control over hunger or anger etc.
Thus, tagging food or drinks or maybe even nsfw content as “nsfr” doesn’t make sense, regardless of how cute it is to see non-muslims try their best to be super inclusive and make spaces more friendly. But just a psa for this year: it’s okay to post the same way as you do all year, this month is just our time to exercise patience:) !!
And if certain Muslims feel the need to really block certain posts for the day, they always have the option to block tags like “food” or “nsfw”.
Please spread the word!!

i made a uquiz called “what color is most like how it feels to be loved by you” (link takes you to the quiz) and if you think you can handle potentially hearing something hard, you should take it. (please note that this is in no way definitive and you could be totally different, please don’t take offense)
I’ve been listening to an awesome podcast on Spotify, explaining classic Greek and Roman myths in more depth! It’s really good, and I definitely recommend <3

Happy International Asexuality Day!
6th April marks the first celebration of IAD which has been organised by various groups around the world.
Happy International Asexuality Day! Today is a day for celebrating all people who identify under the asexual umbrella and spreading awareness about their experiences.
A number of ace organisations worked together to make April 6th 2021 the very first International Asexuality Day.
The themes of today are:
• Advocacy
• Celebration
• Education
• Solidarity
What is asexuality?
• Feeling little to no sexual attraction
Some asexual people also feel no romantic attraction. This is known as aromantic.
However, some asexual people do feel romantic attraction. This is broadly known as alloromantic, but can be more specific such as biromantic (romantically attracted to two or more genders but experience little/no sexual attraction).
Asexuality is a spectrum!
Here’s just a few identities within the asexual umbrella:
Demisexual - someone who does not experience sexual attraction until they have formed a deep emotional connection with someone
Grey-asexual – someone who feels sexual attraction weakly, infrequently, or in specific contexts
Aceflux – someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates but generally stays on the asexual spectrum
Lithosexual – someone who does experience sexual attraction but does not want it reciprocated. Person may be uncomfortable at the thought of someone being sexually attracted to them, or they may lose their sexual feelings if they learn it's reciprocated.
Fraysexual – when someone only experiences sexual attraction towards those that they are not deeply connected with, and lose that attraction as they get to know the person.
Why is awareness important?
• Combats acephobia
• Challenges normativity
• Helps provide support
• Feelings of connectedness and community ; feel less alone
• Dispel myths and misunderstandings
• Help normalise asexuality and other LGBTQ+ identities
• Representation ; increasing visibility
• Helps highlight the issues faced
• Celebrating people on the asexual spectrum
Happy International Asexuality Day!!
💚💜♠️ sending so much love to any tumblr folk who are on the asexual &/or aromantic spectrums like me. ♠️💜💚
♠️What is Asexuality?♠️
An Asexual is a person who rarely or never experiences sexual attraction. They are not drawn to people sexually and do not feel compelled to act on attraction to others in a sexual way. Asexuality does not preclude you from experiencing other types of attraction (including romantic attraction) to people of the same or different gender to yourself, or define whether you want to be in a committed relationship.
💜Why is awareness important? 💜
An absence of attraction is much harder to define than a presence; and lack of awareness means many people have no idea that there are words to describe their experiences or others who feel the same. While the term has been in common use since the 1960s, many people are well over the age of 25 when they first hear the word - especially if they experience romantic attraction to the opposite gender and haven’t had much exposure to the broader LGBTIQAP+ community. When you’re told all of your life that romantic feelings about someone are inextricably linked to sexual attraction it can be confusing when your experiences don’t seem to match. It can also be hard to tell what is hyperbole and what are thoughts that allosexual (the opposite of asexual) people have the intention of doing?
There is are strong social and cultural messages which use the development of sexual thoughts, sexual relationships and having children as markers of age and maturity. It can be difficult to express a lack of sexual desire without being invalidated or challenged by the people around you or your own built in expectation that sex is fundamental to being human. Are you medically or psychologically unwell? Are you repressed? Broken? Prudish? A late bloomer? Will this “all make sense” when I meet “the right person”?
While most identities on the LGBTIQAP+ spectrum are becoming better protected from medicalisation and psychiatric diagnosis - Asexuality has a long way to go.
It is still very common for people who are questioning or on the Asexuality spectrum to be offered medical testing and treatment aimed at curing their Asexuality. Most GPs still routinely recommend blood tests to check hormone levels, assessment for depression or other mental illnesses, recommend counselling or prescribe medication to boost libido.
.
♠️Celibacy Vs Asexuality♠️
Celibacy is like being on a diet. You still want to have sex and have sexual thoughts about others but are choosing not to act on them at that time. Whether it’s based on your beliefs or availability of a suitable partner varies but that desire is still present even if intentionally suppressed.
Asexuality is like not experiencing hunger because you’re already eaten enough. You don’t have sexual thoughts about others or feel compelled to act on them.
💜Attraction Vs Libido💜
Libido is typically the amount that you think about sex and how much you want to engage in sexual activities either partnered or solo. Libido is on a spectrum for people of all sexual orientations. They normally range from high to low. Libido can fluctuate and change over the lifespan and it can be influenced by hormone levels as well as some medications.
Attraction is usually whether your libido is directed at a particular person or type of person. Attraction can also be seen as the extent to which you want to act on sexual thoughts about a particular person.
Asexual people can and do experience a range of libidos from high to low. However they do not experience attraction, therefore are less likely to feel compelled to act on it and rarely associate it with a specific person.
♠️Attitudes towards Sex♠️
Asexuality is a wide spectrum, individual wants and needs vary but all are valid and normal.
In broad terms: Some asexuals are sex positive, they may not experience hunger but still get pleasure out of sharing a meal with someone. Some asexuals are ambivalent towards sex, it’s something they can take or leave. Some asexuals are completely or partially repelled by the idea of personally participating in sexual activity with a partner.

Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?
You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”
And, yes, of course, but… :)
However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.
Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.
It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…
And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.
If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]
Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.
The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.
Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.
The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.
That will kill all remaining life on Earth.
So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully
We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.
The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.
However, we make it run…
So we can make it STOP. Together.
How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

rick's books have a not-okay amount of racism, perpetuation of harmful stereotypes, and misrepresentation in them. grow up and accept it. rick's a white man who does not understand what it is to be a poc or a minority or lgbtq+, the least he could have done was his fricking research, but the truth is that he didnt and you need to deal with it. calling the people who are a) misrepresented in the books and b) accepting these facts, calling them haters is just on a different level of immature.
April Fools Day is coming. Please tag any jump scares, fake news, fake emergencies etc. that you may post/reblog.

Imagine an animated movie with a canonically gay friends-to-enemies-to-lovers storyline ending in love confession and gay kiss, along with a canonically nonbinary main character
...oh wait... you don't have to imagine, because the movie Nimona (by the creator of she-ra) is 75% complete in production. The problem? IT JUST GOT CANCELLED!
Disney shut down Blue Sky Studios, which was producing the movie, so our best hope is that it gets picked up by another production company.

Hey, just a heads up to everyone who follows my blog: if you see anybody with an orange and black square in their bio, they’re a transphobe.
Idiots on TikTok have been coming out in droves in support of some bullshit identity called “super straight” which basically means that they’re only attracted to cis people 🙄 They’re trying to wedge themselves into the LGBTQ+ community and their claim is that it’s phobic toward them to say that they’re transphobic… it’s just a gargantuan cishet headache.
So, to reiterate: orange and black squares = the “super straight” flag = transphobic dogwhistle. Stay safe everyone!
i need help. my landlord is demanding we pay off our rent arrears and then continue to pay our rent in full every month or we could be kicked out. we’ve gotten as much help as the council will give us (which isn’t much because of circumstances). we really can’t be without a home right now - it’s cold and both me and my mother have chronic illness and mental illness. if you want more details, you can dm me. we also need food. every day we only eat something small at night and food supply is running out.
so please help us out! if it helps: we’re ojibwe (but not in america - if you want more details dm me) and severely disabled. i have multiple mental illnesses. neither of us can work. i’m literally begging for help at this point. if you can’t donate, please reblog!
