Why do I spend so much time creating free high quality printable materials of old Yiddish texts and music, using open source tools?

Because I think that such materials and tools must be available to everyone—not just those privileged with academic access—if we want to bridge the chasm created between us and our ancestors by the Holocaust and the era of assimilation, and effect a Yiddish cultural revival in our Diaspora.

someone we know was like "polycule and molecule sound the same" and then asked 'what is the chemical formula of your polycule' and holy shit. what a question.

have you heard about the hot new streaming bundle that includes literally everything you could ever want???











it's called the pirate bay

advertising is a far bigger act of vandalism and nuisance on public spaces than graffiti

Shout out to trans men (+) 💕 

The best and kindest and most secure men I have the pleasure of knowing are all trans men. I see you and love you all, stay strong & safe and know you have allies even if other ignorant gay/queer folk try to ignore your voices and presence. :blobhearttranscat:

Polycule:
- too scientific sounding
- makes you sound like a chemical structure
- confusing graph

Commune:
- based marxist
- not technically illegal
- makes you sound like you're doing some epic praxis

psa, LGBT+ picrew, anti-ace rhetoric 

Heads-up: Sangled, the artist on Tumblr who made the picrew in the above, is an ace-exclusionist - she posted sangled.tumblr.com/post/186701 (content warning for ... well, bog-standard ace-exclusionism) back in August and, as far as her public posts on that Tumblr go, stands by it.

Not gonna tell anyone what they should do in response, but, yeah.

h/t @clipsey in bobadon.co.uk/@clipsey/1031489 for publicizing this.

in all seriousness one of the most obnoxious things about mental health is the chicken-egg problem of feeling too bad to do things that will make you feel better

wait so like if you do some really basic self-care tasks, you like.. feel better? there must be some kind of mistake here. what does this mean

i have put much thought into this and have come to the conclusion that trans girls good to cuddle

Anyone: *says the word "transition" in the context of history or video editing*
My brain: *trans flag*

bi people arent straighter than gay people

“Y’all” is a superior plural pronoun. “Ain’t” is a perfectly good contraction. “Reckon” is a fantastic verb for describing when you are of an opinion. “Yonder” is the only word to describe that way over there.

The confluence of CWs and follower-only replies is quite good at leaking the "metadata" of a conversation I'm not supposed to be able to see.

Person I don't follow posts something personal follower-only, uses a descriptive CW. I don't see any of this. I do however see when someone I DO follow replies, and maintains the CW.

I dunno what I'm saying here. Be mindful of this when you reply to super personal posts?

Transphobia, Hate Crime 

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance or #TDoR.

Here’s why that’s important:

Transgender Day of Remembrance 

Today is #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance #TDoR. These are the names and faces of our 27 trans siblings officially acknowledged to have been killed by hate in the United States alone. I want to specifically call attention to the fact that 26 of the 27 were people of color. This is an issue of race every bit as much as it is of gender.

Today is #TDOR. Please protect the trans folks in your life.
