Hello, I'm from Gaza, my little daughter Nour has hydrocephalus and seizures, we are now in a tent in very bad conditions, and every thing destroyed our house, hospitals and physiotherapy centers 馃様 I'm waiting your reply hope you will support Nour as she's a palestinian child needs your urgent help because the seizures attacks have increased, and hospitals don't receive her because of the huge number of injuries and martyrs. She must see a neurosurgeon soon to adjust the doses of the antiseizure medications. Also she needs CT scan and MRI to ensure that the shunt is working well. She also needs to continue Physiotherapy ASAP and Occupational therapy sessions to enable her to stand and take her first steps. Please support my campaign because Nour needs special care out of Gaza war, 馃檹馃挃
How many times are you gonna try to scam with the same damn ask
I think it's a common misconception that domesticating animals is somewhat like enslaving them. It really is more of a symbiotic relationship. No wild animal would have willingly put up with early humans if they didn't get something out of it. Wolves wouldn't have stayed with us and become dogs if they weren't getting food and safety out of it. Many large herbivores that are now domesticated could and would have easily trampled their early human captors or broken their enclosures open if they didn't have a reason to stay. Sometimes individual animals still do if we don't give them what they need.
The animals that have stayed with us for thousands of years have evolved to cooperate with us better. Dogs have additional facial muscles around their eyes that wolves lack in order to mimic human facial expressions. Sheep grow their wool perpetually while their wild counterparts don't because a bigger fleece means they're more likely to be allowed to breed and be kept around. Domestic dairy cows produce much more milk than wild bovine species and domestic hens lay more eggs. Do you know how energy costly producing eggs or milk is for an animal? It's pretty intense! They wouldn't be able to do that if we hadn't given them the food and safety from predators and the elements to.
And we really need to show these animals respect and gratitude for what they give us by taking excellent care of them. They gave up a lot to be with us, often including the means to take care of themselves in the wild. That's a huge reason why I'm not against using animal products, but I hate factory farming. They are still living, breathing creatures with needs and feelings. They deserve a comfortable life and, when the time comes, a humane death.
im gonna keep it a buck with you all on this fine Pride Sunday: ive been stuck in a money hole with moving for the past 3 months. i owe, like, HUNDREDS of dollars (medical debt and overdue utilities) which ive had to pay out of pocket to cover for me and my roommates and it has been, without exaggeration, keeping me from getting sleep. been getting the "your account has reached $0" emails every other day for a long while as i make enough money to cover one thing and then need to pay for two more. it's tiring! tiring enough for me to ask for help from strangers.
if you want to help a stranger out (me) and have a few bucks to spare (1, 2, 3 dollars are all non-negligible amounts to give), my venmo is @clown_depot and my cashapp is $clowndepot.
anything is greatly appreciated. dont feel obligated to signal boost this, my straits are not DIRE, but they sure are TIRE. tiring i mean. theyre tiring. im so very tired.
this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don鈥檛 have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
western commentators are claiming, per usual, that "Israel" wants a ceasefire and Hamas is not cooperating, so for the record here is where things stand currently:

Why the tiger has become a transgender symbol in Japan
Gay Breakfast Pin Club writes:
Recently we learned about how some trans folks in Japan like to use tigers as a symbol for the trans community. It's a pun: Tora [铏嶿 is the Japanese word for tiger, and when you sound out "trans" in katakana it basically starts with "tora." To-ra-n-su [銉堛儵銉炽偣].
Toransu is clearly a loan word from English ("trans") that has been adapted to Japanese pronunciation (adding vowels/vowel epenthesis helps you avoid unpronounceable consonant clusters).
