Heart on My Sleeves

I don't feel bad for anyone here

it's kind of crazy climate change has occurred at such a remarkable pace that I and everyone else around my age can remember a completely different climate in our childhoods. I truly watched winter gradually disappear in my life.

Disabled 17 year old Mohammed Hammad needs medical Evacuation immediately!! $10K needed ASAP Mohammed has a fixator on one leg which has sepsis; he will need it amputated (life threatening in current conditions) if he isn't evacuated to Cairo immediately. He takes care of 6 younger siblings essentially by himself. a @FedUp4Palestine verified fuhnd-raizer! givebutter.com/mogaza

[Image description: a graphic with black text on a white and seafoam background that says the text above. There is a QR code above the link that goes to the Give Butter site. To the left of the text is a photo of Mohammed Hammad laying down with his right leg propped up. His leg has a Ilizarov apparatus, a metal fixator that holds pins in his leg (so they are both external and internal, and are easily infected). He is wearing a brown shirt and is smiling. There are two QueerCrip symbols on the graphic that are filled in with pal-eh-steinian flags.]

This is the most urgent fundraiser that I, (Sky from Rebirth Garments), am currently working on!

please please give as much as you can and share!

Free Palestine protesters shut down the Golden Gate Bridge and 880 freeway in Oakland. This is huge🫡

And in Eugene, Oregon today...

Lots of other cities too!

"The disruption appeared to span the country over several hours. Protesters in San Francisco parked vehicles on the Golden Gate Bridge, stopping traffic in both directions for four hours Monday morning, while hundreds of demonstrators blocked a highway in nearby Oakland, some by chaining themselves to drums of cement, California Highway Patrol representatives told The Washington Post. Some protesters headed toward a Tesla factory in Fremont, Calif., according to local TV station KRON4. In New York, dozens of protesters stopped traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge and held demonstrations on Wall Street, according to ABC7.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations were also reported in Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami and San Antonio. Demonstrators’ targets ranged from major highways such as Interstate 5 in Eugene, Ore., to a countryside road leading to an aircraft engine manufacturer in Middletown, Conn.

They blocked roads leading to O’Hare International Airport in Chicago, which warned travelers on social media to consider alternate forms of transportation, as car travel was “substantially delayed this morning due to protest activity.” A similar obstruction on the expressway leading to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington prompted travelers to take their luggage and cross roads on foot.

Police arrested dozens of people in several cities, but no significant violence had been reported as of Monday evening.

Protesters have stalled traffic, closed streets, disrupted daily life and interrupted events in major U.S. cities intermittently since the beginning of the Israel-Gaza war, but few have concurrently or consecutively affected travel in as many parts of the country as on Monday [April 15]."

Team “not actually oblivious to flirting, just terrified of appearing presumptuous” represent.

“Yes, in the balance of consideration this person’s behaviour could certainly be interpreted as flirtatious, but it would be purest arrogance for me to just assume they actually meant what they said. I should gather more evidence. Forever.”

for the complete experience

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

On Eid, Israel had bombed several areas including a school, a mosque, a marketplace, and a refugee camp, bringing the total of Palestinians killed in the last 24 hours to 63, with many more still missing because their bodies were torn apart beyond recognition by Israeli bombs.

Keep talking about Gaza, keep agitating, and keep advocating because this is Zionism and this is Israel.
