ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to disappear at sea

thats the thing thats missing from america-centric discussion of fascism: this shit is global. every country in “the west” is seeing the same rise of fascism in real time, all of it focused on murdering migrants. like giorgia meloni is campaigning to deport people to “migrant camps” in albania. last year the greek coast guard outright drowned a boat of 500 asylum seekers. and as that last post said im not dismissing the suffering of people within the US, i’m just saying its so supremely frustrating that every conversation is about the minutiae of american domestic policy and not the horrifying ultranationalist global trend scapegoating arabs and africans.

my point is you need to be horrified that “border control” is an accepted talking point. you need to be aware of the fact that climate change is currently driving what will become the largest forced movement of people ever as the “third world” becomes uninhabitable. people—specifically people from africa and west asia—are dying in the name of white supremacist “borders” around the world. and whether your european or american when you see this rhetoric manifest in your country you need to push back.

im really in a bad place i hope the sun doesnt start setting crazy early at like 4pm. i said i hope the sun doesnt set early at like 4pm that would be bad for me

When I was a very suicidal trans activist in Texas, Benjamin Sisko saying “sure, you would [die for your people]. Dying gets you off the hook. The question is: are you willing to live for your people?” changed and possibly saved my life. It’s up there with “if we are going to be damned, let us be damned for who we really are” from Picard. Star Trek not only shows us a better world, it teaches us how to make it there

new game plan called shield yourself at all times and never let anyone in . this will have no repercussions

I can not say if it is a work of a POW or a Whaler, but it is definitely Sailor made.

I am politely asking you to love immunocompromised people more than you hate face masks

guys i'm truly anxious about the election hysteria detracting from attention that should be going into fundraisers, so ahead of all the ruckus i genuinely think it's important to remember and that fundraisers remain paramount. platforming campaigns periodically is one of very few ways we can help and i'm worried many people will lose sight of that in the midst of the pointless discourse about the election. but it's literally all smoke and mirrors and none of it makes a tangible difference the way fundraising does

a lot of people will also take this opportunity to (subconsciously or consciously) decenter the fundraisers bc they're sick of it or bored or have "compassion fatigue" so it's really more important than ever to shed light on them now tbh

on this note, asking you all to please share mohammed ayesh's fundraiser. ayesh is pretty much the only link we have to palestianian families who're in active need of funds, but more than that he's also in gaza experiencing the same bombings and starvation and displacement alongside his family. the sheer amount of work he has done for so many people can never be replicated -- so please give him his flowers by boosting his campaign and donating any amount you can to it. it takes a massive difference

guys literally there’s only been one donation in the past 2 hours. and only 4 in more than 5 hours.

Mohammed has been putting so much work into vetting fundraisers. Meanwhile his family has been forced to hide in destroyed buildings from tanks that patrol thru neighborhood. Please please help them get funds to relocate and buy necessary supplies to survive. This is a time sensitive urgent request

£17,755 / £18,000 daily goal. £245 needed still before end of day!!!!! Please help Mohammed. Donating even £5 and sharing it on dash would do wonders

Help me family🙏😭

Winter is approaching, and life in the tents becomes harder with each cold day ❄️. I need your help to save my family and provide them with warmth and safety 🛖❤️. Your donation, no matter how small, can ease the chill of winter 🤲🏼. Be part of the change and help bring a smile of hope 😊.

anyways if you're tired of seeing ppl begging for their lives on tumblr, one way you can contribute to there being fewer ppl begging for their lives on tumblr is to actually... help them... so they don't have to beg for their lives on tumblr anymore!

like ik you probably can't afford to wipe out a whole family's need at one donation but you can contribute to a culture where we all pitch in every time we get paid, where taking care of each other is just something we do bc that is how we live out our shared values!

it's never too late to start. i bet there's $5 you could spare. what if you gave it to the next vetted campaign you see? might feel pretty good!!
