CW- animal death

My dog died. My precious little Beagle Loki. He was only 9 and he died in my arms. I'm not okay. I don't want to get in to details because it was painful for me to watch him die and I can't type it all out here but suffice to say he was fine till a week ago then he seemed to age 6 years overnight due to a back injury that put strain on his heart which was already enlarged. He was ready to go Monday I think, but we tried everything to see if we could help him, he came home from spending the night at the vet Tuesday with medications but it was too late and my little boy died in my arms an hour after we brought him home. Almost exactly a month after Fish's doggie died, which is fucking weird. But of course, we got our dogs within a year of each other and our service dogs were our Thing. It makes sense that Loki and Robin would go around the same time. Anyway I'm not okay and I want my dog.

concept: the communist manifesto but in the form of a call-out post

hey everyone, marx here, and this is a callout post for @capitalism. i know a lot of you are friends with capitalism but this post had to be made. there’s a spectre of us on here that don’t agree with what capitalism has been doing, and it’s time we come forward. we could not take being exploited like this any longer, so we decided to start a revolution. europe doesnt want us to post this so we’re probably gonna get some rude anons but it’s worth it.

if you need proof, you can see the receipts on how society has progressed through class struggle. you can visit this blog to read the screenshots.

for my friends’ safety i’ve hidden their names, so i’ll just refer to them as “the proletariat.” 

we’ve tried to call out capitalism before but the ruling class has only reformed, with private property merely changing hands, not being destroyed. please reblog this to signal boost and to destroy capitalism completely so that private property will be permanently abolished and classes will disappear forever, thank you

(CONTENT NOTE- animal death).

[Dated June 14 2017]

Hi guys. I need some help for a friend of mine. I’ve known & been close to Fish for like 12 years and he’s the sweetest guy in the world (& y'all know my cynical ass doesn’t say that lightly). He has Paranoid Schizophrenia and for a long time he had an amazing service dog named Robin. He loved that dog more than I can say, Robin was his lifeline.

Well over memorial day weekend Robin was hit by a car and sadly he is no longer with us. Fish was (& still is) devastated. As a person who relies on a service dog myself I can’t even begin to imagine what he’s going through, losing his best friend and his lifeline. He desperately needs a service dog, to help him manage and to give him a reason to get up in the morning.

If you can please help him out and/or share this post that would be wonderful. I’m worried about him the longer he goes without a service dog. I’m across the country from him and all I can do to help is share his gofundme.

Thank you everyone.

1- my friend & former neighbor in Olympia sent me this pic this morning freaking out with joy to see my tweet (both showed and read aloud!) on the news!

2- I was interviewed by Socialist Worker, a UK based anti-capitalist newspaper (that runs on and offline). They wanted an lgbtq Muslim perspective and asked me for an interview, here’s a link to the article in which my responses from the interview last night were presented: https://socialistworker.co.uk/art/42891/After+the+homophobic+massacre+in+Orlando%2C+dont+let+the+right+divide+us

So it’s been a very busy day for me here, and I’m praying that my public voice is helping other LGBTQ Muslims that may be feeling isolated, seeking help/support, in the closet, feeling unwelcome in Islam, etc, may feel less alone. Insha'Allah!

A year since Orlando & still stand by all this. Love to my queer Muslim family.

Tips for Disabled Communists

1. Don’t make the general particular or the particular the general. Current flares will pass but/and there will be certain symptoms that don’t. Things change.

2. Don’t underestimate or overestimate the role of subjective intervention. You aren’t necessarily stuck in your current state, but you also can’t magically fix everything. Balance these.

3. Communication is key. Ask of your comrades what you need; ask them to have the meeting in your bedroom, ask them to explain that idea one more time, ask them to walk slower or speak louder. It’s a revolutionary necessity to understand each other’s needs.

4. Do what you can. Don’t push yourself beyond capacity, but don’t underestimate yourself either. If you can’t show up early, show up on time. If you can’t show up on time, show up late. If you can’t stay all the way through, stay part. Better than not going at all.

5. Find ways to strengthen yourself as much as possible, physically, mentally, and socially. I’m working on direct communication, for instance, and taking steps to go directly through chat instead of vaguely through Facebook. It’s a step. Physical therapy is also a great thing. Even if you are bedbound, do what you can, even if it’s just moving your eyes or wiggling your toes.

6. Not everybody can take on every role, but there is a role for every person. There are many folks who won’t be in direct combat during people’s war, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be participating. Politics commands the people’s army. Guns don’t make people’s war; people make people’s war. Find what you can do and know it is important.

7. Be direct as much as possible when someone is excluding you or others. We are vulnerable, and we know the vulnerable, so we must use that to stand up for ourselves and others in strong compassion. People need to know when you are being ignored. It’s not just for you, it’s for the party we want to build.

8. Independence is a bourgeois myth. We are interdependent. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, and be there to offer what you can (no more, no less). Be clear about that.

9. Remember this: disabled revolutionaries bring abled revolutionaries closer to a big section of the masses. We also keep our orgs extra vigilant and disciplined as we bring up our needs and force others to coalesce to help. We aren’t a burden like capitalism says we are. We are an asset that will lead to a stronger revolutionary organization, and, eventually, party.

Thanks for reading. I’m glad you’re here.

Anonymous asked:

Hi doesn't the Quran say homosexuality is punishable by death I'm just so confused and scared and I don't want to feel like I'm haram

The Quran never said Homosexuals should be killed. As far as I am aware homosexuals were mentioned once in the Quran about people of Lout. People of lout committed a lot of crimes they were not good people, they killed, they Raped men, they abused their prophet. So who to say that god punished them for having gay sex and not for all those crimes? It’s unknown god knows best. But to answer your question no there is nothing in the Quran that says kill homosexuals unfortunately the law in a lot of countries does punish homosexuality by death.

“The boys of Capital, they also chortle in their martinis about the death of socialism. The word has been banned from polite conversation. And they hope that no one will notice that every socialist experiment of any significance in the twentieth century – without exception – has either been crushed, overthrown, or invaded, or corrupted, perverted, subverted, or destabilized, or otherwise had life made impossible for it, by the United States. Not one socialist government or movement – from the Russian Revolution to the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, from Communist China to the FMLN in Salvador – not one was permitted to rise or fall solely on its own merits; not one was left secure enough to drop its guard against the all-powerful enemy abroad and freely and fully relax control at home.

It’s as if the Wright brothers’ first experiments with flying machines all failed because the automobile interests sabotaged each test flight. And then the good and god-fearing folk of the world looked upon this, took notice of the consequences, nodded their collective heads wisely, and intoned solemnly: Man shall never fly.”

- William Blum, “Killing Hope”, 1987

You are an assassin. A little girl has just come up to you, handed you all her pocket money and asked you to kill her abusive relative.

Plot twist: You give her back her money and kill that asshole for free
