listen. i honestly do try my best to not be bitchy about stuff. but if you not-joking-joked that you wanted to watch a video essay from hbomb on the kendrick-drake rap beef. i think that you are obligated to watch fd signifier's 3 hour video essay. i KNOW the watch time is not the issue.
There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.
They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.
i think the thing that is specifically bothering me about the conversation about the new hbomberguy video ("live your life in a way so that hbomberguy doesn't tear into you for 3 hours", "hbomberguy has figured out how to death note someone through video essays", "oh new hbomberguy video [incredibly dense paragraphs of text] i now despise james somerton") is that it really feels like people aren't paying attention to what hbomberguy was actually saying. like, as much as he wanted to make people aware of the plagiarism issue, he also very explicitly did not like the fact that he might even remotely have a financial incentive to make those sorts of videos. and rather than the last video, which was a "get mad about this" call to action, hbomberguy spent this whole video sympathizing with the people who were directly out indirectly affected, and wanted the focus of people's attention to be on uplifting small queer creators
but also, negativity drives engagement so i guess it's to be expected.
That's right. There are more daily infections now than in *89%* of the pandemic
Mask the fuck up people. Protect yourselves, protect those you love, protect our fucking species
if ur a trans man or transmasc fucking read this
gotta be honest with you, i'm not too sure about this thing ppl say of "conservatives" being irrationally opposed to "trans people just existing" or whatever. i guess controversial take but no they actually have very concrete reasons to oppose bodily autonomy and the destabilization of sexual roles we represent considering their views on sex/gender and social reproduction overall actually. obviously we must oppose those views as they are 1. wrong and 2. oppressive but like. it's not like they just chose a random minority to hate. i mean otherwise why do you think it's specifically us.
btw if you ever make anything for me EVER ill literally go crazy stupid. like ill go insane . il love you for ever.

Do Only Some Black Trans Lives Matter to You?
117 original posts on tumblr about Sam Nordquist, multiple in the hundreds of notes, not even counting posts memorializing Lisa or Tahiry too. more needed, but comparatively a lot of coverage when you consider:
6 original posts about Tahiry Broom, a 29 year-old Black trans female sex worker that was killed five days earlier and reported on at the same time as Sam. two of those original posts are memorializing all trans people that have passed this year, and only one has more than 30 notes.
(link to more awful evidence on how ignored Tahiry's passing has been in comparison to Sam's and in general)
how can we be so cruel as to create and perpetuate a hierarchy when it comes to how worthy of care a Black trans death is? to validate the oppressive systems that ended her? this community's transmisogynoir and disregard for the lives of sex workers is sickening. and it's the exact reason her murderer called 33 Black female sex workers (including other trans women) and eventually Tahiry when he was looking to lure someone to her death. it's the exact reason this young woman died 12 days before her birthday.
esp pghlesbian who works in tandem with Trans Doe Task Force and therefore is usually the first to report (btw, consider donating to her legal defense and blog expenses as she's too disabled to work and has been sued by transphobes)
ID BELOW
[ID: A cropped screenshot of an online article by Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents. The article's title says "29 Year Old Black Trans Woman Tahiry Broom Killed in Detroit" with smaller text below it saying "February 14, 2025 by Sue". A photo below shows Tahiry, a young woman with a soft face and warm brown skin. She has a short, straight, sleek black bob. Her baby hairs are laid down. She has a filter that makes her thin eyes a grey-blue underneath her long false eyelashes. Her medium-to-wide nose turns up at the end, and her thick, glossy lips seem to be puckered for the photo. Her eyebrows are black and thinned out, and she seems to be wearing a black salon cape buttoned over her multicolored blouse. A chest tattoo of what seems to be a dark green vine peeks out from under the cape. She is beautiful. Below the photo, text reads "Tahiry 'Tokyo' Broom via family". End image description.]
