The dehumanization of Palestinians goes BEYOND the things we usually see, such as racism and Islamophobia.

It’s also the tokenization, treating Palestinian bloggers as “inspiration” for an OC, the parasocial relationships people are starting to form with more well-known Palestinian bloggers, and NOW polls on who the “worst” Palestinian is. Even people who’re supposedly ally’s to the freedom for Palestine movement are voting because of quote on quote “curiosity”.

You don’t have to be outwardly racist to dehumanize someone. Dehumanization involves stripping a person of their humanity and turning them into whatever caricature you think fits them best, whether it’s to sell an agenda or treat them as a source of entertainment.

PROMISE KEPT: Future Paradox Cursola!!! Rock/Grass

Unexpected adaptations cause Promise Kept’s branches to grow hybrid land-sea anemone. Ecologists theorize Cursola reverted back to its ancient form, after decades of restoration efforts by humans.

If you send me a screenshot of a donation you made to PCRF, MSF (doctors without borders), or UNRWA for $30 or more, I'll write you a ficlet for the ship of your choice. No promises on length (probably about 500 words) and I may require a change in ship if it's a squick, but I'll write a ficlet nonetheless.

Only new donations, this is not retroactive. Gotta be today or after.

I'll also accept Anera, UNICEF, WFP, or World Central Kitchen.

PSA: Don't use Open Office

I keep seeing people recommending Open Office as an alternative to Word, and uh... look, it is, technically, an open source alternative to Word. And it can do a lot of what Word can, genuinely! But it is also an abandoned project that hasn't been updated in nine years, and there's an active fork of it which is still receiving updates, and that fork is called LibreOffice, and it's fantastic.

Seriously, if you think that your choices are either "grit your teeth and pay Microsoft for a subscription" or "support free software but have a kind of subpar office suite experience", I guarantee that it's because you're working with outdated information, or outdated software. Most people I know who have used the latest version of LibreOffice prefer it to Word. I even know a handful of people who prefer it to Scrivener.

Open Office was the original project, and so it has the most name recognition, and as far as I can tell, that's really the only reason people are still recommending it. It's kind of like if people were saying "hey, the iPhone 14 isn't your only smart phone option!" but then were only ever recommending the Samsung Galaxy S5 as an alternative. LibreOffice is literally a version of the same exact program as Open Office that's just newer and better – please don't get locked into using a worse tool just because the updated version of the program has a different name!

The most recent news direct from the teamsters:

This is particularly critical for those of us in the Western US, since “The Texas facility is the only brewery that services the entire Western region of the United States with Molson Coors products that include Topo Chico, Simply, Pabst, and Yuengling, among other major beverage brands.” (Citation)

(Note that they’re talking about the alcoholic Topo Chico hard seltzer products here; the graphic above is clear about that. The Topo Chico water is a Coca-Cola product.)

hey, so... after years of misdiagnoses and crises and hospitalizations, my sister has finally been diagnosed (with 99% certainty) with Crohn's disease. If anyone could help even a bit with money for food, meds and more doctor visits, we would be really grateful.

My sister has been moaning and crying in pain all day since yesterday. Her meds cost 200 reais (40 dollars) and they barely last 2 weeks. We REALLY need any amount of help we can get right now.

I got home and just found out my sister got hospitalized in a hurry while i was out so this is kind of urgent now please :)))

Update: Eid Celebration!

For Eid, Hussam hired some entertainers and bought some chocolate, biscuits, and flavored milk to put into a goodie bag to help bring a bit of joy to Rafah camp children.

He managed to put together 200 goodie bags for the kids, which you can see being put together in the video! After that, they gathered all the children to enjoy a celebration with music and dancing while also hiring entertainers to help them out.

The kids loved it! Thanks to your donations, you helped put a smile on these children’s faces, yet again!

[ID: First part of video is of people putting together goodie bags. Second part is various shots of the Eid celebration while they sing songs and a clown helps entertain the kids. At the end they distribute the goodie bags.]

Trans woman in need

tl;dr: I need help paying rent, bills, and grocery shopping. Any help I could get would be absolutely amazing and I would be so grateful.

Hi! My name is Mordred and I recently lost my job during a mental breakdown. Since then I have been suffering from compound issues of long covid, chronic fatigue syndrome (something I've been dealing with since before covid), long term ankle and back pains from injuries, not to mention depression. Its become really hard managing life while suffering through these and I had hoped that living off my savings and focusing on my health it'd all get better. But, as my savings are drying up and I'm still suffering, I still have rent, bills, groceries, and even medical bills to pay. I hate to do this but I'm genuinely having such a hard time here and I really need help. If I could possibly get any kind of donations to help me through this, I'd be so thankful.

my venmo is @ catgirlprincess

Thank you for spreading this and helping me get seen, and endless love and thanks if you send anything.

Hey I hate to be a bother but I have medical bills stacking up, my electricity bill is overdue (they haven't charged us late fees yet I think) and I don't have money to go pick up my meds. I really could use any help possible rn
