I'm sorry but it's way too sketchy to have to "sign up" for a protest. There's no reason you should have to give anyone your full name, email, phone number, and/or address in order to march in the streets. People are getting arrested left and right because cops have access to information that connects people to the protests they were at. If an organization is having people "sign up to join the fight," all the cops need to do is access that list.
Just go. Don't leave a fucking paper trail.

okay I am begging people to understand that it is not "planned obsolescence" or "corporate greed" for manufacturers to stop selling things because genuinely better technologies become available. I just had someone arguing with me that they should be able to buy a new nickel-cadmium battery for their 25-year-old cordless vacuum. NiCd batteries were outlawed a decade ago for very good reasons. if you really want to have the same effect as using one you can just go out and shoot 10 people with Bullets That Give You Cancer and then rip out your own kidney
you can't be a disabled ally without also supporting homeless people and addicts like it's just not possible
I put on Twitter that a cute date idea for me (a cis woman with reproductive issues) and my boyfriend (a trans man) would be for us to get a hysterectomy together and someone replied:
Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie: “Gaza has become a mass grave for Palestinians and those helping them.”
Don't stop supporting them - they are now under bombardment and facing starvation. Israel is now demanding immediate evacuation from residents to carry out a large-scale operation. Sadly, displacement comes at a high cost- not just in money, but in lives, fear, and pain. Imagine looking at your children as they tremble from fear and hunger. This is how Sami, his two children, and his family are living at this very moment. They are waiting for your help — they could lose their lives at any second.
Remember: Every small donation can help Sami and his family stay alive. They are waiting for your support... you are their hope. Don't hesitate. Donate here.
I'm just like if a girl was a silly little guy

"masking is a privilege not afforded to people with high support needs" and "masking is a source of trauma for many autistic individuals" can and should co exist .
