don’t get distracted. free palestine. do your daily clicks. keep donating esims.
"Across the Gaza Strip, at least 2.15 million people, or 96 percent of the population, are facing high levels of food shortages, with one in five people facing starvation. (...) Fresh produce, including cucumbers and tomatoes, are among the most expensive after Israel destroyed most of Gaza’s farms, wells and greenhouses." (source)
Prices of basic goods fluctuate depending on how much aid has been let through on any given day. Right now though:
- Flour (25kg): $150 in the south, $1,000 in the north. Before the war it was $9
- 12 eggs: $32 in the south, $73 in the north. Before the war it was $3.50
- Cucumbers (1kg): $8 in the south, $150 in the north. Before the war it was $1
- Tomatoes (1kg): $12 in the south, $180 in the north. Before the war it was $1
Faten & her sister both have dietary restrictions and both need at least fresh produce on occasion in their diet. This is especially true for Faten's little sister, who's diet can be the difference between needing invasive surgery and not. Displacement and relentless bombing has stripped the family of their livelihoods. They have no choice but to rely on donations for basic survival, but donations have basically completely stalled. Please keep donating and sharing, even the smallest donations will make a huge impact. (vetted here, #289)
58,858NOK/71,000NOK (short term goal)
Donations have virtually dropped to little more than a trickle, please don't forget about Faten & her family!
Currently: €461/€500 (only €39 left to reach the first €5,000)
approx. conversion at time of writing:
€10 = 118NOK $10 (USD) = 109.91NOK

Grieve AND organize.
Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.
This is an excellent article. It talks about the psychology of tyranny, the history of resistance and the paths we have to take to rescue each other and recover.
now more than ever I think it's important for people to remember that puberty blockers *were* the compromise position.
if you start from a position that trans people should have equal rights in society, then it becomes obvious that all the faux concern about "irreversible changes" is utter bs, because puberty itself is irreversible, and these people want all trans people to be forced to go through the wrong one
the people calling for our healthcare to be banned don't give a single solitary fuck about the "irreversible changes" that they want every single trans person to be forcibly subjected to
i LOVE illegal immigration ❤️
Bro. I saw a terf on a post say. "If your experience of womanhood is constantly reminding people you're a woman, you're not one." Um. Ma'am. Have you met any minority woman? Like any of them?
The transmysogny is already yk wild because terf but say you've never spoken to a cis black woman without saying it lmao
Its funny because people constantly used to not see me as a woman until I STOPPED identifying as a woman (agender), then they become biology experts
Do you remember when people kept swearing up and down Michelle Obama was trans?? I most certainly do. Or how people are calling Megan Thee Stallion trans. Like it's a widespread thing, ESPECIALLY with darker women. The darker we are, the worse it gets.
White women feel threatened by women of color and refuse to admit this.
When Caitlin Jenner said that she’s more of a woman than Serena Williams it was to remind her peers that “womanhood” in this white supremacist culture is about looking fragile, pale and the antithesis of West African women (and their descendants) who had no choice but to be muscular under slavery conditions - more than anything else.
TERF Ideology will ALWAYS be racist. And I find it funny when POC that are terfs deal with racism from white terfs. Beloved, they never liked you anyway regardless if what ideologies you agree with lol you're not a white woman so you're subhuman to them
they say you snooze you lose, and well. heh. i snost and lost
just don’t let the snost cost fallacy get you
if you blame addicts or people using drugs recreationally for making ur medicine harder to get instead of blaming the war on drugs and the stigma against people that use drugs then you are a dick and are also directly siding with the people who are making your meds harder to access
The third one (North and Central Gaza) delivers fresh water and food to families and currently only has enough funds to continue doing it for one week. Donations are urgently needed.
Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.
Resist every step and do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Distracting people with stupid bullshit is one of Trump's favorite political techniques. We saw it all over the place in the first term.
Trump will say something like "You know the Hispanics actually punch kittens, it's what they do."
And the news will be like "TRUMP SAID HISPANIC PEOPLE PUNCH KITTENS" for three weeks.
And while they're doing that the Republicans in Congress have quietly deleted healthcare.
Do not get distracted by stupid bullshit. Trump is a dancing monkey whose greatest asset is the ability to yank the spotlight off of everyone else. Keep your eyes on Congress.
How are disabled and interracial illegal???
Interracial marriage was outlawed for the longest time, and disabled people lose government benefits when they get married so they cannot have reassurance that they will continue to LIVE if they get married.
Story time: my mom is white, dad is black. They’ve been together twenty four years, married for twenty three. When my parents were dating they did it on the low TO KEEP MY DAD SAFE.
My mom’s parents said “We don’t care who you love.” At that point she’d only ever brought home white guys. She brought my dad home-her mother called her a nigger lover and damned the relationship as much as possible. Her father grew around his prejudices after I was born but never apologized, just wasn’t a blatant fuck.
The day she introduced my father to her family was the last time she spoke to her mother for over twenty years. When I was getting sick and she called and asked her mother and grandmother if anyone in the family had anything strange happen similar what I was going through they told her “it’s because you married a black man. You made your bed, you lie in it.”
Cops pulled them over all the time and asked my mom IF SHE WAS OKAY AND IF SHE NEEDED HELP BECAUSE MY FATHER-A BLACK MAN-WAS DRIVING A 100 POUND WHITE WOMAN AROUND. HE WAS HARRASSED AND THREATED WITH ARREST.
My father ended up getting into a fight in self defence because some entitled hick decided he didn’t like seeing a black man and white woman in the bar together. Thankfully other patrons helped my father but he still couldn’t go to the er for his injuries. My mom patched him up and they were terrified the cops would take him away.
THEIR BEST FRIEND GOT LICENSED TO MARRY THEM SO THEY COULD ACTUALLY TIE THE KNOT BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE WOULD AND CITED JIM CROW ERA LAW AS TO WHY.
When shopping with just me my father wouldn’t hold my hand if there was a group around. Why? I’m far lighter than him and people had stopped and asked him “whose child is that?” Or “little girl where’s your parents?” and were stunned when I grinned and pointed at my dad and proudly proclaimed “my daddy’s right here.” You know where else mixed kids couldn’t hold their parents hands? Apartheid South Africa. We live in fucking FLORIDA.
So yeah. Some history for you.
This post was made in October 2018. The above poster’s parents met in 1994. We were a generation removed from the Civil Rights movement and this was happening.
Oh look, it’s entirely possible for a cisgender comedian to crack jokes about transgender people without being transphobic.
