things we need to address:

please think of the disabled people of gaza. please think of the diabetic people of gaza. please think of the neurodivergent people of gaza. please think of those whose lives are relying on medicine that has either stopped coming in due to the blockade, or is available in such scarcity that its price has skyrocketed.

we're approaching winter. on top of the challenge of securing waterproof tents and sufficiently warm clothing, some diabetic people in gaza have stopped taking their insulin as they can no longer afford it. those who are able to acquire it for now know every shot may be their last.

mohammed @ahmed0khalil, only 19, has been injured with shrapnel in his leg.

his father is diabetic.

one of his younger siblings is blind, and another is autistic.

imagine that kind of pressure during a genocide.

the least we can do is shoulder some of the financial burden. don't forget about the disabled people of gaza.

vetted here

do you ever see paleolithic art and go “oh fuck that’s good” like they hadn’t developed agriculture or the wheel but god damn could they paint horses real good

look at this pretty accurate horse art. this is from chauvet cave and is between  31,000 to 28,000 years old.

I am not taking a risk

Not risking it pals

U know what I want potato of luck

I couldn't have said it better myself.

As a 30 year old man who escaped the Alt-right pipeline, you're not going to be happy about the answer.

All I hear from leftists is how much they hate me for my immutable traits, how much they blame me for everything wrong with the world, how much they want me and everyone who looks like me dead.

Whereas Alt-right types would call me "brother" and welcome me into their ranks so long as I hated the right ways.

Do you understand the difference?

I'm an ally and support equality because I feel it's the morally correct choice to make, but holy fuck is it difficult to reconcile that with the fact that means fighting for a lot of people who see you as the scum of the earth.

Read this and then read it again and then read some fucking bell hooks because this is a legitimate problem on the left.

"To create loving men, we must love males. Loving maleness is different from praising and rewarding males for living up to sexist-defined notions of male identity. Caring about men because of what they do for us is not the same as loving males for simply being." - bell hooks, The Will to Change https://bellhooksbooks.com/product/the-will-to-change/

Building an EFFECTIVE coalition means building a broad coalition, and that means working with people and accepting and welcoming people regardless of their sex, gender, past beliefs, race, sexual orientation, etc.

Evangelicals and the right wing get people to accept ideologies that harm them by welcoming them in with support and community and forgiveness for past sins. People are often unmoved by logical arguments. They are moved by who invites them to a potluck and talks to them when they're standing alone at the gathering.

This too shall pass but like holy fuck

some of yall will be like "be gay do crime!!!" but then torrenting is too scary n diy hrt/medication is too dangerous and shoplifting is too risky and i think the only crime u guys r comfortable committing is "being" illegal in a country you'll never visit who's people you've never had to recognise as actual human beings

Listen, american followers, can I please ask you to keep an eye on this? A lot has been said about project 2025, but not much is talked about the environmental impacts.

Project 2025 seeks to remove Grey Wolves and Grizzly Bears from the protected species act. So they can be more freely hunted and trapped especially by farmers. It also stops protections to their habitat

So this is bad for more species than just those two

They need to invent a job where I don't have to wake up or go to it

Got his ass together in three words

hello again (bill clinton limewire voice) my fellow americans

There are a few states that actually have Shield/Refuge laws designed to help trans people fleeing from trans-unsafe states, which also guarantee trans folks access to healthcare. These states are:

Additionally, some states have "trans sanctuary" executive orders signifying safety for trans folks seeking healthcare. These states are:

Living as a resident in these states means you are protected by state's rights and state government to continue or begin receiving trans healthcare. These laws have been codified in their states so everything has been a-ok'd by their state governments.

Stay alive. You got this. I love you.

Black folx don't get caught slippin. Crosscheck this list with these maps made by and thoroughly researched by tougaloo college.
