doodling brown girl twi ft a lil extra facial hair. think she turned out super pretty!
*im white but grew up around a lot of south asian ppl so ive seen a bit of the stigma around body hair. south asian girls can sometimes be hairier and their (gorgeous) dark hair can often show up prominently around eyebrows and moustache area. this is often stigmatised cuz eurocentric beauty standards! and its stupid. let beautiful women live whether they shave or rock whatever hair they happen to have

Reblogging to others.
Pay attention here to see our suffering 🙏🏼🇵🇸🍉
Without exaggeration
We want daily from 70 to 100 shekels to eat and the food is unhealthy, I mean, we want about 3,000 shekels a month only!
And 1,500 shekels of water and wood, I mean, only 4500 shekels per month for food, water and wood.
Of course, wood is a cooking gas alternative, this alone has a very great suffering
I'm talking here about the minimum, I mean, $1,200, the minimum without meat or healthy food, and we're not working to get that amount
As you can see, this is how we are đź’”
Some Vote Blue twit called me a "fucking moron" for telling people to vote third party and said it would "only guarantee that nobody respects your opinion ever again" as if continuing to vote for the status quo party is somehow more respectable? And I get people are going to go on about "bUt If ThEy HaD a MaJoRiTy ThEy CoUlD dO mOrE!!!1!" yeah ok they could send more money to Ain'trael? That's what you mean, isn't it? Because they certainly wouldn't be trying to help us. The motherfuckers could have done literally anything, used any loophole, expended SCotUS and packed it with liberals to dilute conservative power there, and you wanna know something? Biden used an executive order to send more aid to Israel after Congress voted against a bill for it, but never did anything of the sort to help people here.
Wanna know something else interesting? If a third party gets at least five percent of the popular vote, they'll be granted federal funding.
Do these people think just voting for Democrats for [X] number of election cycles will just magically fix everything? As if they think that the system used to be good but is now broken? News flash, homies, THE SYSTEM IS WORKING EXACTLY AS INTENDED. THERE IS NO "FIXING" IT BECAUSE THIS IS AN INHERENTLY UNJUST SYSTEM AND THE ONLY WAY TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION IS TO TEAR IT ALL DOWN AND START OVER FROM SCRATCH.
But I guess these Tumblr liberals aren't ready to hear that truth and would rather accuse actual leftists of being some kind of Russian or Chinese psyop.
"I don't know what your motivations are for voting against Biden" well let's start with open, joyful genocide and move down the list from there
I'm autistic and not a fan of feeling crowded in by people for real long. But I'm also someone who likes to hug those I consider close and special. If I'm pressing myself against you, my face against yours, that's not only a "I'll tolerate this because you mean that much to me" thing, it's also "You're so special to me that what would normally make me uncomfortable with anybody else just feels natural with you". And if you're doing that with me, then I assume you feel the same and that makes my heart melt even more.
can we all agree that pressing foreheads together is an underrated act of affection??
there’s a decent amt of neurologists who’ve called the sleep schedules we’re obligated to be on despite flagrant conflict with our natural circadian rhythms “borderline torture” and the work hours we’re expected to put in despite the fact that the average person can only maintain maximal efficiency and focus for 3 hours at a time “nearly inhumane” and i think about that a lot
"We Don't Need Safety — We Need To Escalate!"
PRINT VERSION
A critical reflection on the “framing of safety” emerging within the contemporary movement in solidarity with Palestine exploding across college campuses in the so-called United States.
It has become common for participants in the Palestine Liberation Encampments, which have spread across the United States, for protesters to call for participants to be “safe,” and especially for Black and brown students to be protected. While we must recognize that Black and brown students are more likely to be subjected to violence at the hands of the police in general, the framing of “safety” has had a conservatizing force for this movement – and as a result, has served to prevent escalation.
To be absolutely clear – the genocide unfolding in occupied Palestine must be stopped by any means necessary. At the same time, movements will always face both external limitations and internal limitations, while external limitations are easy to see – the most obvious example is direct police violence. Internal limitations are a bit more difficult to see – these are the ideas and inherited tactics which prevent us from accomplishing our goals. We wish to explain here how the language of “safety” is in fact a liberal ideology (we can call it “safety-ism”) which has a conservatizing effect on our movement and which prevents us from winning.
Let’s explain why this is troubling in the plainest possible language:
1. There Is No Such Thing As a Safe Protest
Protesting injustice is designed to place people in positions of risk. However, we assume a position of risk to topple a regime of structural violence. By taking brave risks together, we believe that we have the power to destroy the root causes of structural violence. We substitute the possibility of violence being meted out against ourselves as willing and courageous protesters for the unwilling and, in this case, GENOCIDAL, violence being used by the system in power.
2. The Palestinian Resistance Has Called for American University Students (and the Broader American Public) to ESCALATE Their Actions Against an Ongoing Genocide
History teaches us that when a genocide begins, the only way that the process of systematic killing stops is BY MAKING IT STOP. As such, the Palestinian Resistance–the people who are on the ground fighting and dying–are calling for American students to escalate. It is our duty to heed their call!
3. When the Situation Escalates, People Who Are Afraid Will Mask Their Fear Using Political Language – We Must Meet Them with Compassion but Refuse to Back Down
With great compassion, we recognize that escalation can be a scary prospect, especially for those who believe they have more to lose. At the same time, we must reject the use of politicized language to de-escalate protests. Nobody is making anybody do anything they don’t want to, and we need to maintain cohesion in the face of those attempting to spread fear. When people are afraid and using politicized language to get others to back down, it is best to meet these people with compassion, recognize their fears as legitimate, and then move forward with the tasks at hand. Again, what we are combating is genocide and so all forward initiative must be maintained at all costs.
4. We Keep Us Safe By Escalating
When the police are mobilizing to attack or evict us, we might be tempted to disperse in response. At the same time, our movements are kept safe through their escalation. If, following a raid on an encampment and arrests, students willfully go home, the administration will see that their strategy of repression is working and will double down on their violence. If, however, the movement continues to adapt and finds new ways of escalating, those same participants will be protected by the movement’s growing strength from which will flow public support, material support, spiritual support, and the knowledge that our risks have been worth it because the movement is fucking winning.
5. Black and Brown Protesters Who Choose to Escalate Carry the Torch of a Proud History of Militant Resistance
Remember, Black and brown protesters carry the torch of a proud tradition of direct resistance to colonialism, racism, and capitalism. Fred Hampton and Assata Shakur fought directly against the police of America. Martin Luther King Jr., contrary to the whitewashed image of him, led many Black Americans on nonviolent marches specifically designed to provoke the police to violence and thus show white America the reality of the racial system through images of the violence shown on the nightly news. Being Black does not mean that you need to have white people protect you with their skin privilege– Black Liberation will be won by Black people just as Palestinian Liberation will be won by Palestinian people directly.
6. Proximity to Suffering Does Not Automatically Produce the Best Political Ideas
At the same time, it is a reflection of the dehumanizing contours of racial ideology that equates Black and brown people with having the most daring and advanced political ideas. Of course, proximity to the worst aspects of this racist system can have a radicalizing effect on many Black and brown people. While we should all learn about and empathize with these experiences, we should not make the mistake that this necessarily means that Black and brown students always have the best political ideas. Doing so is an expression of racial ideology because it places an undue burden on Black and brown people, it is dehumanizing in that individual thought and political work are discounted for one’s identity, and, finally, it serves to prevent the most effective ideas from guiding our movement instead of a tokenizing ideology which discounts the content of Black ideas for any idea so long as it emerges from a Black person.
7. Only the Most Courageous People to the Front!
We have seen many times that in moments of looming confrontation, a call is made for “white people to the front” to protect Black and brown people from police violence. Unfortunately, doing so often contributes to violence against Black and brown students, but using moralizing language and playing upon white guilt to coerce often unwilling white participants to the front. These same people, who were not willing to be at the front, quickly cave at the first signs of violence. Instead – when shit is going down, we need to have the most courageous and willing people at the front. A coalition of the most courageous and willing will stand a much greater chance of repelling police encroachments and advancing the movement to victory.
Conclusion
By identifying the “safety-ism” as a conservatizing ideology, we seek to overcome its limitations and pose an alternative idea in its place. Heeding the call for escalation, we can call the alternative, revolutionary, idea “escalationism.” To achieve victory we must escalate the struggle and combat all forces – external and internal – which prevent us from doing so.
TOGETHER WE ESCALATE FOR PALESTINE AGAINST THE POLICE AROUND THE GLOBE FOR THE LIBERATION OF THE OPPRESSED AND THE END TO IMPERIALISM ONCE AND FOR ALL!

reblogging as my civic duty to help others.
the US deli meat recall has expanded 35 times over, going from 200,000 pounds to 7 MILLION pounds of meat and poultry recalled due to listeria contamination.
if you checked your fridge before, check it again with the new list, there are over 70 products being recalled!
this recall of boar's head products now includes old country branded products. some were also exported to the cayman islands, dominican republic, mexico, and panama.
please note, people have died from this outbreak, dozens of people have been hospitalized, and since listeria can take months to kick someone's ass after exposure and then a while to be investigated and recorded by the government, these numbers are expected to rise. you do not need to have eaten meat or poultry to be exposed to listeria from this outbreak, you could have just eaten food that has come in contact with it like in a kitchen, deli, restaurant, or anywhere else these meats were used to prepare food. listeria is a nasty fucker that loves to contaminate whatever it touches. there is more information on listeriosis and high-risk groups further down this post.
announced july 30th, 2024, current as of july 31st, 2024. this is not a complete copy/paste of the announcement or all relevant information, please check the links for more complete information and updates from the government.
WASHINGTON, July 30, 2024 – Boar's Head Provisions Co., Inc., a Jarratt, Va., establishment, is expanding its July 26, 2024, recall of deli meat products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The establishment is recalling approximately 7 million additional pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products. Whole genome sequencing results show that a liverwurst sample collected by the Maryland Department of Health tested positive for the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes.
This expansion includes 71 products produced between May 10, 2024, and July 29, 2024, under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brand names. These items include meat intended for slicing at retail delis as well as some packaged meat and poultry products sold at retail locations. These products have “sell by” dates ranging from 29-JUL-2024 through 17-OCT-24. View full product list. View labels.
The products subject to recall were distributed to retail locations nationwide and some were exported to the Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Panama. The products shipped to retailers bear establishment number “EST. 12612” or “P-12612” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product labels.
most people exposed to listeria will not experience a serious infection. but listeriosis, the illness caused by listeria, can become pretty bad and can take weeks to show symptoms after exposure. listeriosis can cause lifelong disability or death. for people who are pregnant, listeriosis can cause stillbirths, miscarriages, premature births, and life-threatening infections in newborns.
say you ate a bad deli meat sandwich a week ago, or any food that may have come into contact with these deli meats, and you theoretically got exposed to listeria with an immune system not strong enough to fight it off. it could be weeks or even months before listeriosis starts affecting you. consider writing down what you ate, and where, and when, just in case you need to tell this to a medical provider in the future. if you do develop listeriosis, it may become difficult to remember these details later.
if your hypothetical sandwich (or whatever you ate involving the recalled products) had been thoroughly cooked, it may have killed off the listeria. listeria is killed with heat, which is why deli meats are suseptible to listeria contamination.
this is a type of contamination so serious and easily spread that entire delis are going to be shut down to be thoroughly cleaned. if you had these products in your kitchen, even if you cooked them before eating, the united states food safety and inspection service recommends deep cleaning your fridge to stay safe. consider what else may have come into contact with the contaminated food.
as a reminder, having previously been infected by covid-19 is one of the many things that can cause a weakened immune system, and many people with weakened immune systems do not know they have weakened immune systems until they get infected with something serious. you can temporarily have a weakened immune system just from a lot of stress or not getting enough sleep, so make sure you get plenty of rest if you are concerned. good quality rest makes the immune system stronger.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects people who are pregnant, aged 65 or older, or with weakened immune systems. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.
Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In people who are pregnant, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections can occur in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food. (rune note: emphasis mine)
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators and in retail deli cases. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and retailers are urged not to sell these products with the referenced sell by dates. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers who have purchased these products are also urged to clean refrigerators thoroughly to prevent the risk of cross-contamination.
FSIS recommends retail delis clean and sanitize all food and non-food surfaces and discard any open meats and cheeses in the deli. Retailers may refer to FSIS’ guideline, Best Practices Guidance for Controlling Listeria monocytogenes in Retail Delicatessens, for information on steps to prevent certain ready-to-eat foods that are prepared or sliced in retail delis and consumed in the home, such as deli meats and deli salads, from becoming contaminated with L. monocytogenes.
the wikipedia page for listeriosis notes: “Listeriosis may cause mild, self-limiting gastroenteritis and fever in anyone.” and “People who were previously healthy but were exposed to a very large dose of Listeria can develop a noninvasive illness in which the bacteria do not spread into their bloodstream or other body sites. Symptoms can include diarrhea and fever.”
and here is the united states center for disease control page on this outbreak.
as of the time this post is going up, the CDC page has not yet been updated with the latest recall information, and reflects the previous, smaller recall.
list of all affected product names under the cut. check the product information list for more information on each product and where they were exported, and here is what the labels look like.
this list is long.
do not risk this. do not mess with listeria. do not eat these recalled foods!
I did this on my phone while recovering from medical treatment, so please let me know if the formatting came out wrong.

if you are a high-risk group and have eaten these foods or anything that may have come into contact with them, breathe. get a lot of rest and pay attention to your body over the coming weeks and months, and figure out where you can go to get medical care in case you start showing signs of infection.
stay safe, warn people you know, and take care!
huh. you learn something new every day.

It should be noted that conservatives of this sort don't view what they're doing as homosexual: far-right ideology romanticizes the idea of a man as this violent, domineering, hypersexual animal that likes to fuck anything that moves but only as a top. Bottoming is viewed as something shameful and humiliating, and any masc who bottoms is "not a real man" or "only half" of one. This also lines up pretty well with conservatism's view of LGBTQ+ men, and leftist men in general, as "beta males". In their mind, these kinds of posts are meant to be threatening, because that's what they would feel threatened by if it was said or done to them; and they don't think of it as gay, but rather as "putting the lesser man in his place".
It is, in fact, hella gay and the fact that these kinds of people lack the awareness to see that is as funny as it is pathetic.
I'm sorry, I'm losing my mind over this interaction.

July, 2024 - “I will continue, I will stay here at this place and as long as I am alive, I will serve my patients and people.” Israeli forces abducted Palestinian doctor Issam Abu Ajwa from al-Ahli hospital in Gaza where he was volunteering as a surgeon, and held him captive for over 200 days. He suffered prolonged torture at the hands of his Israeli captors and lost 37 kg in six months, but now he's back at work in al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital so save Palestinian lives. [video]
