i mean. medical technology is all about stopping "natural" things from happening to our bodies. from external diseases to internal parts of our bodies not working the way we need them to (our brains, our organs, our immune systems), medicine is all about interfering with things that have naturally gone wrong in our bodies--and that for the first time in history, we might have a way to fix. and that's not even getting into cosmetic stuff--the billion dollar industries to remove acne and body hair for instance. natural things that happen to our bodies, that we have decided are unpleasant and that we have the right to change. and that's fine, because these are our bodies, and we have a right to change them, natural or not.
so stop pretending that depriving trans kids of puberty blockers and other medical care is okay, because growing irreversible secondary sex characteristics that they do not want is "natural"
Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:
1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online
2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links
3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)
4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)
In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)
you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)

if you ARE in New York, there were two very severe hoarding situations uncovered recently. One is in Yonkers and the other is in Westchester County.
Yonkers cat rescue: around 200 cats discovered in a house are being handled by the Yonkers Animal Rescue. They do not utilize fosters, but they badly need food, money, and support. They’re reaching out to other cat rescues in the area that DO use fosters. The cats appear to be social.
Those interested in fostering one of the Yonkers cats can call 201-981-3215.
Cat food can be sent to the Yonkers Animal Shelter 1000 Ridgehill Boulevard Yonkers NY 10710
To make a cash donation, call the shelter at 914-377-6730.
Westchester County situation: around 150 cats are being handled by the SPCA of Westchester. These cats were left alone without food and water for days after their owners passed away. These cats were called ‘abysinnian mixes’ by the folks I spoke to. They mostly need financial support.
