i'm incredibly sad to bear this news, but today there is another victim of queerphobia attack, this time in another city (Palu).
victim was followed by 3 strangers while going to a public toilet in a cafe, sexually assaulted and got kicked around the legs and thighs multiple times (bruise marks provided in picture below)
victim wasn't alone, two of their friends was being pushed from a motorcycle, their heads was beaten and they're also threatened with murder. it wasn't the first experience for the victim, unfortunately. they also got kicked out of their boarding house and got spit by people around them.
meanwhile, in the city of Bogor (the same city where trans women get attacked yesterday), these "Boti Hunter" are not backing down, instead they're planning a more mobalized attack against queer people and encouraging others to bring rotten eggs and urine.
please, i beg non indonesians to keep spreading this information, let people know about what's happening to indonesian queers.
writing this while a little bit shaking, so please excuse any errors.
I’ve been keeping a list of all the news stories dominating my algorithm and the general news cycle in 2026. It is wild to see how quickly we move on and sometimes even forget some of these things.
I can never tell what's going on. I am not a saint but I am severely disabled in an abusive circumstance and I am not helped. because I'm supposed to help myself. when I am continuously thrown into situations that leave me frazzled and unable to help myself.
it’s rare for the bassist to be the most well-known name in a band but she earned it. from the band that threw their bloody tampons at the men who tried to bottle them onstage.. RIP jennifer finch
I’m glad this person learned a lesson about not judging… but you shouldn’t need a disability “bad enough” to get accommodation
Not all disabilities are visible
Not everyone discloses their disability
We all need help sometimes
Don’t judge others for what they do to survive.
Going from having an apartment earlier this year to moving back in w my helicopter parents is something I don’t like to talk about bc it gives me both psychic whiplash & causes a great degree of emotional distress. & most people will call you ungrateful. No room for nuance @ all
Ableism is disgusting.
You know what’s even worse than ableism?
Disabled people saying like: “I’ve got X, Y and Z illnesses, but I’m tired of bums with anxiety or back pain who claim benefits but they’re ok.”
I ask them exactly I ask the abled ableists: “do you have access to their medical records? Are you their dr?”
I have various physical, mental and neurodevelopmental conditions. But I don’t judge anyone on disability benefits. It’s not my business. It’s not yours either.
Pandering to the ableists won’t stop them coming for you eventually.
Meet Bruce Taylor, of Taylor Farms. This man makes huge contributions to Trump so his lettuce is never inspected. So far, this man has given us E. coli, and cyclospora.
He does NOT allow his lettuce pickers to take bathroom breaks.
Kroger brand lettuce is actually Taylor’s.
