Hi I'm legitimately so fucking sick and tired seeing next to NOTHING on my dashboard about this. Include Palestine in your fucking activism goddammit.
Now excuse me if I sound a tad bit heated, but as an Arab/North African who grew up with many Palestinian friends that I consider family at this point, I hope you understand me when I say: Everyone who sees this, whoever you may be, mutual or not, and doesn't reblog or at least look at the links provided for whatever the fuck reason, if I was able to tell who you are, just know I fucking hate you.

I know her hair is different but whatever
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.
If this gets posted then that means I was forced by Medlink in Colbert GA, especially "Dr" Sipsy to kill myself

They are an independent media company that focuses on the many pressing issues within the global asian community, aiming to showcase the diversity of asia, hosting in-depth interviews to recognize various asian voices and tackle topics such as comfort women in ww2, the importance of sex education, the discrimation towards asians in this time of COVID-19, the dangers of mental health stigma, colourism towards darker skinned asians and anti-blackness in general, the homophobia in our community, and MANY more. In addition to this, they have raised several fundraisers, including one that raised enough money to pay for the highschool tuition of a teen mom in the philippines. They have done so many great things with their platform, but.

Information is vital, and I am sad to see this happen to an organization that has been so helpful in spreading knowledge about asian issues and supporting asian voices. Here is their gofundme, any donations can help, reblogging and spreading the word can help a lot as well! So far they have raised $21,962. Please boost!

This was created with berries in mind, but would be good for any sim really!
HOW IT WORKS: I made the current values so that is 60% of getting either the carrier or donor’s gene, a 30% chance of getting any of the grandparent’s gene, and a 8% chance of getting any of the 8 great grandparents genes. (Yes, this doesn’t equal 100%, but that’s ok, but the percentage doesnt matter, just the fact that you are x times more likely to get parents than grandparents.
The simplest of all of them. Just hit randomize, and it will tell you what hair, eyes, and skin color your child will inherit. I would recommend writing down the parent’s/grandparent’s/great grandparent’s names to make it easier to reference. LINK TO V1
Same as version 1, but without great grandparents genes. Chances are changed to 32.5% chance for donor, 32.5% for carrier, and 8.75% for each grandparent. LINK TO V2
This is the one that is most customizable. Here’s how you use it: go to this link, erase all the text there, and paste the code for version 1 or the code for version 2, whichever you prefer. Then, you can change the generic family relation names to names of the family members, to make it easier for you! You can also make it the appropriate gene- for example, if i wanted to roll for orange vs yellow hair, i could change “carrier” to orange and “donor” to yellow, add in “peach” and “orange” for grandparents, and ‘peach’ ‘pink’ ‘orange’ ‘pastel pink’ for grandparents 1-4.. Yeah, you might want to have your family tree pulled up for that part.
Currently in v1, carrier and donor are set to 30% each, so that its a 60% chance of getting a parent’s gene. If you wanted to raise the percentage to, for example, 80% you would take 80 and divide it by the number of choices for the gene- in this case 2- and then convert that to decimal form. Because you’re a good math student you know that 40%=.4, so you would then change ^.3 to ^.4 after each gene choice, which raises the chance of having your donor’s gene from 30% to 40%.
And thank you to my beta testers, @simphonics and @prismfamilylegacy !

“protect asian lives”
asians worldwide are being beaten and killed. and it keeps going unnoticed. if you are being silent, fuck you.
the amount of hate crimes against asians have risen 1900%. it’s not our fucking fault we are in this pandemic. asians arent a virus or a disease. leave us the fuck alone.
now say it again.
PROTECT ASIAN LIVES
this group I’m in is lowkey annoying because they just complain ALL THE TIME LIKE PLS SHUT UP 💀
In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.
In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.
Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.
Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.
pls why is the sims community so TOXIC? I’m trying to understand 💀!
the way we won’t have have cc in sims 5 is LOOKING REAL FAMILIAR AND REALISTIC 😔
I was scrolling through Tumblr and came across a post of KNOWN PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR (many of which have or want to rape actual children/minors)
Meet Saraya: she was experiencing a mental health crisis. Police came and tackled her. She is 15.
Saraya Rees is a 15 year old biracial girl from Coos County, Oregon. After being abruptly instructed to stop taking her antidepressants by a local pediatrician, Saraya went into psychosis. In her manic state, Saraya poured a small amount of gasoline on the floor. Her parents called Coos Health & Wellness in hope that that would send mental health advisors, Coos Health & Wellness sent the police. While still in psychosis, the officers arrested her, questioned her without her family or lawyers present, charged with attempted murder and assault, and sent her to juvenile prison for 11 years.
ELEVEN.YEARS.
This is not justice.
This is inhumane.

Farewell online privacy
The Philippines has been recently struck by two very strong typhoons in the past few weeks (and another one on the way) and a lot of people have been afected by it. If you can, please pray for us and donate to some donation drives to help those in need.
Many people have been displaced and the flood has reached as far as the second floor. Please pray for us and keep us in your hearts. Thank you. I’ll try to update this post later when I find some links for places to donate..
What’s happening in Vienna, Austria? A thread made by sussgottin on ig
I hate doing this so much. Like it literally makes me feel like shit…but I really need help. I live in a very small town now where there are minimal opportunities for work if you don’t have a college degree or know the family that owns the business you are applying to work to (also a lot of the places out here are very racist and refuse to hire black people). I need help paying a bill. as well as putting groceries in the house. It has been very very hard the last couple months and my depression is really getting the best of me. I don’t wanna say how much we need, because the bill itself is already way too much to ask for. If you guys are willing and able to donate, you can send money via CashApp: $AllesiaM28 or PayPal
Please help if you can. And even if you can’t a reblog would definitely help. Any amount is more than appreciated! At this point I’ll even take some prayers, because it’s hard and I’m literally crying trying to type this out. Thank you for taking time to read this
