Hey besties! I'm sharing this fundraiser for Ray, who I know through my mutual aid circles. They've been unwell with pelvic and abdominal issues that have caused them a lot of chronic pain for a while, and it's taken a toll on them mentally and made them unable to work. The fundraiser is to cover the costs of tests, treatment, psychiatric care and secure them safe and stable housing as they're currently living in a mold infested apartment which has aggravated their poor health. Please pitch in if you can! The fundraiser is currently only at 10% of the goal. Thank you!

It’s easy to lose sight of some of life’s simple pleasures when you’re mired in the politics of a land you’re forbidden to enter. But every now and again we deserve to be reminded of just how beautifully the sea sparkles in the Gaza Strip, or just how high the rainbows over the West Bank’s grassy hills can go, or just how easy it is to visualize the earthy way of life in villages wiped away in 1948.

The fact that homelessness is controversial tells you everything you need to know about conservatives.

Ex foster kids, First Nations people and individuals with mental health issues. Homeless is a reflection of our failure as a society, not of individuals.

We have all really lost the plot on what callouts are for

"Callouts are always good" <- reductive take, lacks an understanding of how callouts are abused to harass and harangue perceived malcontents

"Callouts are always bad" <- reductive take, ignores that the fundamental purpose of a callout is to promote community safety by pointing out dangerous patterns of behavior that threaten the marginalized in the community

So no you are not being persecuted by callout culture when a black person shares around your racist ass posts with your name on them or when a trans woman shares screenshots of vile transmisogynistic dms you've sent her. If you didn't want to be known for being a dickhead you shouldn't have been one.

But at the same time we have to recognize how, like with EVERYTHING ELSE, people in positions of (relative) power will weaponize those same tools to drive smear campaigns.

So yes you should be skeptical of callouts that cross your dashboard but no you shouldn't automatically assume it's a malicious witch-hunt either esp when it's as simple a post as "block [user x]. Here's why"

Also if I've learned anything within this year its that you can face oppression in one way or another and still not care about the oppression of others. Like someone being a part of a certain group doesn't mean a damn thing. None of us are inherently radical

Like what do you mean Malala Yousfzai is *checks notes* popping champagne with Hilary Clinton after making a Broadway play together

clownery is the spice of life!! and also anything useful I have learnt about being alive and being a human being I have learned from others, for better or for worse. so while I can understand those "protect your energy" type statements as warnings for codependency and other self-betraying behaviour, I don't think the way to avoid enmeshment is to isolate n become selfish. I think you just have to practice setting healthy boundaries. life is so boring without risks n vulnerability

If you’re always “putting yourself first” and “protecting your energy” there will be absolutely nothing interesting that happens in your life whatsoever. The only way you have a life that’s interesting to live is by getting caught up in stupid shit. You people are just scared of others contaminating your narcissistic sense of selfhood

It’s literally just an acceptable self complimentary way of rewording being emotionally closed off, guarded and selfish. I’d love for anyone on earth to try and explain how they’re not all the same thing

Photographer Mohamed Yasin reports that careless delivery of airdropped “aid” resulted in all of it being dropped into the ocean. Hundreds of starving Gazans are trying to swim out and carry back some food for their families.
