transsexuals will be like is anyone else gonna relate to the minotaur

im sorry i just feel so bad for the guy. none of it was his fault but they cast him out to a place he can never escape & told him he was a monster. destined to be forever shut down from society for a crime he did not commit. do you think he looked up at the sky from his place in the labyrinth & dreamed of a family. do you think his big brown eyes ever filled up with tears. do you think he looked at theseus when he killed him & asked him why

👆🏼 he looked like this as a baby btw. & they locked him up

BTW, just to make sure everyone knows, this isn’t just some internet rando commenting on her observations on the internet.

They are an Assistant Professor of Media Industries at New York University and literally just finished writing The Apple II Age: How the Computer Became Personal, a book on the history of the computer industry in the 70s.

This tweet isn’t just an observation, it’s the result of years of research and study. And it’s absolutely true.

melissa barrera (the actress who got fired from the scream franchise for being pro palestine) has started a fundraiser with unrwa!

screenshot of a fundraiser with the title "in honor of all the martyrs in gaza and the west bank" in black text on a white background. it had $3,301 raised of a $100,000 goal. to the left of the title is a photo of a child wearing a jersey and a keffiyeh tied on his head holding a flag yelling and riding on the shoulders of a man with short hair wearing a mask and a red long sleeved shirt. in the background people are standing or walking on the sand and there is smoke in the air with a fire on the right side of the picture. the header is a photo of two kids playing in front of a couple cars parked in front of a light blue building. under the awning of the building are three adults and a kid sitting. there are paintings on the wall depicting a doctor or a scientist and a schoolgirl pulling a small cart that has a globe in it among other things obstructed from view. in the left foreground of the photo is the front of a blue vehicle. /end idALT

Can confirm that the above link leads to the official US website for UNRWA!

And here’s a reason for hope: the fundraiser is blasting away. They just made $50,000 in the past 3 days – let’s keep it going!

“Wait, hold on, I don’t know what’s going on here”

What’s the UNRWA?

“The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, employs thousands of staffers and provides vital aid and services to millions of people across the Middle East. In Gaza, it has been the main supplier of food, water and shelter to civilians during the Israel-Hamas war.”

-via PBS, January 29, 2024

If their funding is from the UN and various countries, what’s up with this fundraiser?

A massive amount of UNRWA’s budget was just cut in the middle of a humanitarian crisis, as the US and a number of other countries cut off aid to UNRWA completely.

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you’re being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.

Don’t waste your time being too cool to have fun, y’know?
