I Am Going To [remembers That Jokes About Suicide Are Detrimental To Myself And Others] Scarborough Fair.

"i can't benefit from oppressive power structures, i'm literally nice :)" is a disturbingly common sentiment on here and if u express it then i can never trust u again

Still think this is the funniest Hannibal post I’ve ever seen

Happy Independence Day!

Trans people who have changed your name...

(whether legally or otherwise)

If multiple reasons, select the one that was foremost. For example, my name (Anastasia):

I chose first and foremost for the meaning, and will vote for that here

I chose for the aesthetics, as a secondary but also critical factor (I would not have chosen a name I didn't like aesthetically, no matter how appropriate the meaning)

I also chose for the "other" reason: because it's pronounceable in all the languages I speak and doesn't violate their orthography rules so doesn't require modification from language to language

(My name's short form, "Nastja", I chose as a matter of aesthetics, and because I have reasons to reject each of the other common shortenings of my name; Ana gets mistaken for a different name with a different meaning, and I don't like Stacey etc aesthetically. And now, the name Nastja has extra meaning to me, because by coincidence I ended up with a girlfriend with the same name, who since died, so now I have the honour of wearing it for both of us)

Detailed family info, needs:

Nov 9:

The family is in Egypt but are still struggling to survive. Etaf wants to enroll her children in school again before the current semester ends. However, public schools are only available to Egyptian residents (which Palestinians aren't) and only expensive private schools are available. To continue her children's education, she needs €10,000 in her campaign (includes extra fees) as soon as possible before Dec 31.

Family info (detailed):

The family of 7 lost everything - their home, livelihood, and belongings.

Eldest sons Moataz and Moatasem and daughter Maria (7) were top students but their education was interrupted by the war.

They have 2 other young children: Adam (4) and Amira (3).

They were evacuated to Egypt in March, where they are still struggling because nobody is helping them. Governmental aid is very slow.

In late October, Etaf's husband Youssef went to Amman to help provide for his family. He is returning in early November due to expensive living costs there.

Needs:

Priority: Enrolling children in school - €10,000

Youssef's project which will help him mke a living - €50,000

im pro choice and i think there are a lot of good pro choice arguments but my bad evil (speaking facetiously) argument is that i kind of dont care and i dont think it matters for anyone but the specific person whose body it concerns. im not religious so i dont believe in souls. if a lady finds out she’s pregnant and doesn’t want it and aborts it without telling anyone then like so what? i dont feel bad for the fetus. i don’t remember being a fetus. nobody does. it might’ve become a person, but so might every sperm and egg that goes unused. I might’ve become a world class ballerina if i didnt stop taking lessons when i was 6, so i expect all ballet enthusiasts to now start crying for the talent stolen from them. And the situation in which i *do* feel bad is if the woman has her life derailed suffering through an unwanted pregnancy. See, then i feel bad because there’s a woman in physical and emotional pain. I also feel terrible for women who suffer miscarriages during wanted pregnancies. but also because those women are going through physical and emotional pain. i dont feel bad for the fetus itself. isn’t this a normal way for empathy to work or am i somehow evil in some way i haven’t considered
