“Every day Trans Lifeline answers crisis calls from all over the United States and Canada. Unfortunately we are unable to staff the phone 24 hours and we are having trouble training operators as fast as the demand is increasing. It’s really important to us that we are help as many of the people who call us as possible. Currently we have one full time staff person but in order to expand we need more. Please donate if you are able. Your donations help us save lives!”
Readers, I pretty much never post fund requests because there are just so many important causes and people in need, so if I post one, how can I refuse other requests?
But I am making an exception for Trans Lifeline, a service that literally saves lives, serves a painfully under-represented community, and where there aren’t a lot of other organizations providing this service (huge thanks to those who do, like The Trevor Project).
Any amount helps - please support trans youth and all trans people!
Trans Lifelineopened to provide a resource for transgender people with suicidal thoughts. In the US, the organization can be reached by phone at 877-565-8860.”

I ship them sooooooo hard. Series pretty much insinuate that they were more than friends. (crossing religion for ONE person - let’s face it, in Valhalla he could see his daughter, parents, ancestors… but he choose forgein religion just too see him again. This is how I imagine their reunion…
“Let me tell you a wonderful, old joke from Communist times. A guy was sent from East Germany to work in Siberia. He knew his mail would be read by censors, so he told his friends: “Let’s establish a code. If a letter you get from me is written in blue ink, it is true what I say. If it is written in red ink, it is false.” After a month, his friends get the first letter. Everything is in blue. It says, this letter: “Everything is wonderful here. Stores are full of good food. Movie theatres show good films from the west. Apartments are large and luxurious. The only thing you cannot buy is red ink.” This is how we live. We have all the freedoms we want. But what we are missing is red ink: the language to articulate our non-freedom.”
I go to a women’s college. We have a walkway where bricks can be purchased by alumnae. Most just say names or class years/mascots. But this one. This one is special. It speaks to me.
it’s been 17 years and i’m still shocked that dumbledore literally left a fucking baby on a doorstep and then was like “we may as well go and join the celebrations”
jfc dumbledore this is a NEWLY-ORPHANED BABY and ur like “my job here is done where’s the party”
Japan, the country with some of the most fucked up pornography and the penis festival
Where the vagina is basically illegal to talk about
So she did a bunch of art featuring 3D sculptures of her vagina, including this kayak, and was put in jail for it
She was indicted again in December on obscenity charges for selling vagina art to crowdfund for the kayak and could spend two years in prison
In Japan, women’s vaginas are treated as though they are men’s property. The trains here usually display pornographic advertisements. As a woman, I find that blatant objectification to be humiliating. I’m disgusted by it. My body belongs to me. So, with this project I wanted to release the vagina from the standard Japanese paradigm. Japan is lenient towards expressions of male sexuality and arousal, but not so for women. When a woman uses her body in artistic expression, her work gets ignored, and people treat her as if she’s some sex-crazed idiot. It all comes back to misogyny. And the vagina is at the heart of it. The vagina is ridiculed. It’s lusted after. Men don’t see women as equals—to them, women are just vaginas. Then they call my vagina-themed work “obscene,” and judge me according to laws written by and for men. [x]
She plans to turn her trial in to a manga comic. She seems pretty sure she’s not going to do any jail time but if you’d like to help her pay for her inevitable fine and court fees, you can check out her online store. There are little glow in the dark vagina characters.
In Afghanistan, girls aren’t allowed to bicycle but they are allowed to skateboard. So, in 2007 a non-profit that pairs skating and education called ‘Skateistan’ descended on the country. Skateboarding is now the #1 sport for women in Afghanistan. Photographer Jessica Fulford-Dobson took these award-winning portraits of skateboarding girls in Kabul.
