Michigan has become a training camp for jihad and child trafficking. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Muslims Obamy imported?
Let’s see those sinners swing!
It doesn’t really have anything to do with the refugees that came during the Obama era, at least not when it comes to child trafficking, it has *ALWAYS* been a problem in the US, they’ve just gotten better at finding them. Most, if not all, of the children affected are children of illegal immigrants whose parents can’t report them missing for fear of getting deported. You know, those same illegal immigrants who work for less than minimum wage so that you and other US citizens can buy cheap produce and get your homes cleaned for cheap. Yeah, those, people from other countries who bought into the American dream and flee starvation and murder only to learn when they come to the US that streets are paved with shit rather than gold and the American dream is only attainable for the 1%. And despite this they chose to stay in your country illegally because where they come from is so much worse.
As for the Jihadists, that, surprise, surprise, aren’t actually a problem in the US, despite what the right wants you to believe, have entered your country legally on diplomat passports from your “allies” Saudi Arabia, because they know that you will blame Iran and Libya even though all the evidence shows that they are ARABS. But back to terrorism, most terrorist attacks in the US are not done my Jihadists or middle easterns, but motherfucking Caucasian right wing nazi fuckheads, and the victims are almost always jews, lgbtq+, or people of color.
So fuck off with blaming innocents and start blaming the people who are actually responsible for this shit instead.
Okay, last post is great, but I’m still fucked up by the term “Jihadist,” because it suggests that the division between Muslim extremists and other Muslims is the concept of Jihad – with other Muslims not having it or not taking it seriously or something. Erm… no. It’s a fundamental part of Islam. It’s just that it’s been interpreted by the mainstream as the struggle to better oneself and the world around them for centuries now, while these fuckers think it means killing anyone who doesn’t subscribe to the specific interpretation of Islam they do. (Which… isn’t even accurate to its historical military usage, but, again, they’re fuckers.)
I actually do have misgivings about dividing the world into sanitised services free from the horror of the insufficiently artistic nude figure and services based on 100% hardcore pornography, which is what you tend to get once you start enforcing the porn/not-porn divide; I mean there are obvious incentives at play but it does seem worth noting that a Tumblr user potentially could curate a personal experience that includes erotic elements without subjecting themselves to the seventeen varieties of digital chlamydia they would immediately contract on visiting PornHub, and that banning this will eliminate various forms of mildly playful or experimental sexuality, forcing everything and everyone into an strict all-or-nothing paradigm.

Another nitpicky thing showing up repeatedly on my dash. Decent overall point, but:
i’m mixed race and the very concept of my existence would’ve been illegal in the us when my parents were born.
“Degenerate” and “shouldn’t be allowed to breed more defective mutts to corrupt decent Anglo-Saxons” are not the same thing as “illegal”, however. Even in that time and place.
It’s been quite a while since I wore anything over like a 1" heel, anyway, because musculoskeletal problems. I never did wear particularly high heels that regularly.
But, I do find myself resenting not really having that option anymore without maybe doing myself some serious injury, thanks to diabetic foot bullshit.
(Similar with never reasonably being able to walk around barefoot anymore, which is something I’m a lot more likely to want to do in the first place 😒)
The “small” quality of life things can really pile up and get overwhelming sometimes.
Can we talk about how hard it is for people with shoe size 10 and up to find heels? I guess women are supposed to be delicate flowers with tiny ass feet. For anyone who knows the struggle all too well, I’ve made a list of brands who carry big sizes.
At age 10 I was already wearing size 10 shoes, As she forces my feet down a 9.5 my mother would say “ fòk ou mary on kòdonye wi!” (you need to marry a shoemaker). Back then, I was never into heels or proper shoes so I wore sneakers. However, as I entered my 20’s, my fashionista side came out. In addition to struggling to find size 12 heels, wearing a prosthesis also limits the kind of heels I can wear:
Nothing higher than 3 inches
If they are boots , they need to have zippers
No thin or toothpick heels
I’m no expert but after 10 years of struggling, here is a solid list of places to shop for beautiful statement heels.
For the shopper on a budget:
Payless: Can’t expect to get great quality shoes from them but sometimes you find statement shoes and it’s great for a last minute go-to.
Zappos and 6pm: have to spend countless hours looking but the prices are decent.
Target: Which I always pronounce with a French accent, (nothing but respect for my president.) you would be surprised by how many cute shoes they have, quality is not the best but for a last minute event, it can be a savior. (the kitten heels below are from Target)
Amazon is a gem if you use the right search term you will find something. I recently bought 4 pairs (red, yellow, blue & orange) of colorful gogo boots, which go up to a size women 16 btw, UNHEARD OF. (pictured below)
Nine West: they never have my size in stores so I never bothered checking out their website until recently when I spotted the boots below. Goes up to a 12

DSW: if you scroll long enough you will find a couple of statement shoes like the one im wearing in the photograph below.

Able to splurge:
IRINYC carries several unisex platform shoes, I currently own 2 pairs and I love how comfortable they are.
Miista unfortutaley carries up to a size 11 but I love their minimalist yet sttaemtn designs
Shopbop: a third party website that carried several brands
Syro: a gender neutral shoe brand created with queer folks in mind. They go up to a size 14 men (16 women)
Luxury:
The real Real, is great for second hand luxury shoes they carry heels up to a size o13 but they go fast so if you see something jump on it.
Stuart Weitzman not my top favorite but they carry up to Size 12
Maison Margiela: goes up to a size 11, I’m currently obsessed with their signature cow toe boots in red. Good news is that they have heels for men that go up to a size US men 13 aka US women 15
These Sandals with amazing print currently have 13. If you have the luxury to splurge or a sugar daddy or two these Balenciaga boots could prob raise the dead. The gogo boots I previously mentioned come in a gazillion colors and go up to a size 16, I think they run a bit small, I bought size 12 and plan on exchanging for 13.
If you can wear heels higher than 3 inches, bravo, your options will be wider than mine.
Tips:
Mama ain’t raise no fool so when you shop online, always filter by size that way you don’t get disappointed.
If you are delusional enough to go shop in stores, don’t waste your time looking around, ask someone who works there what’s the biggest size they carry, they will probably say 10, say thank you and make a graceful exit.
ALWAYS check the men’s section. They are often more comfortable and if you happen to go to a party I guarantee no other woman will have the same shoes.
When you finally find your size don’t overthink, take it and go, you can always return them.
A brand might not have your size on their website but might sell their big sizes through a third party website, so if you see shoes you like but not in your size google style name + brand + the size you are looking for.
Don’t. sleep. on. Amazon
If you wear size 12, look for brands that cater to trans women or make gender neutral shoes or heels for men.
Don’t look for shoes when you need them. Women with big feet don’t have the luxury of going into random stores to find shoes last minute, therefore constantly look online and when you find a gem …refer to tip #4
Don’t be afraid to stop strangers with big feet and ask them where they got their shoes.
Know your foreign sizing especially Europe/Italy , UK and France. Several European brands wether it’s ASOS or luxury brand like Gucci and Maison Margiela carry big sizes. Problem is, they always have limited big sizes, by the time you’re googling the size conversion chart, someone has already clicked the purchase button. I know I sound dramatic but if you wear size 12 and up you know everyone your size is just following tip #4
Lastly, if you have some favorite places you get shoes from or more tips, comment them below or on my instagram under the picture announcing this post.
The real cherry on this shit cake is that no one I’ve spoken to is getting any kind of email or notification that their posts have been flagged as explicit.
Because you thought your blog was SFW, and the ban-bot is losing its fucking mind, and no one told you that you’d been targetted.
So like, please. If you see someone has been flagged as NSFW incorrectly, let them know.
Because tumblr sure fucking won’t.
As far as I know they’re not banning people they’re just going to be deleting posts
“those who repeatedly and
deliberately post new content that violates our updated guidelines may
have their account deactivated”
Given that this system is already flagging basically anything on the entire fucking earth as porn, a LOT of people are going to be banned for “repeated infractions” whether or not those infractions were even real.
Some people happily talk utterly offensive twaddle to people they don’t know because they’ve never had the experience of just being smashed in the mouth repeatedly with a brick, they don’t grasp that their words may in fact provoke a real, physical response.
They like to talk shit because they don’t realise they may actually get hit, hell recently there seem to be people who love to throw the first punch but get real shocked when they find out that doesn’t mean they throw the last one.
I personally attribute a lot of the ‘little fella syndrome’ to this. People have refrained from violence because they are smaller so they end up as gobshites.
Strangely enough, this is what I was talking about with my previous “an armed society is a polite society” thing; people tone down the really crazy offensive in-person shit when they are aware that violence is on the table for at least some of the people they would pull it on. If 1 in 20 strangers will give you a permanent injury or death for getting in their face and yelling at them and then poking them in the chest, then first, some of the folks who would do that will die and so stop it. Second, some of the assholes will gain control of themselves in the face of death and major injury and stop being so confrontational.
Huh. Did anyone else take this as a comment about social status in general, like “rich people are obnoxious because they don’t have to fear repercussions for being rude” rather than “if you’re always ready to throw down people will fuck with you less?”
If this had come from Tumblr instead of Twitter, I would have thought it was about the “you should have been stuffed in a locker more as a kid” dickishness.
That’s how I read it initially, that or “should have been beaten more at home”.
It does kinda work on either of the less appalling levels, though. At least up to a certain point.
