Best Pali orgs to donate to at this time? Am thinking PCRF.
don't donate to orgs right now, donate to people. gazans need huge funds to evacuate to egypt, get treatment, buy food and other necessities. it is the most urgent and the best way your money can have the most impact.
Gonna have to make another post soon because our light bill is past due and we literally never know about it because it's in our landlords name/he doesn't send us the bill.
Yeah, the Scholfields are down bad again. Family of disabled Black folk in the south with shit jobs in need of help with the light bill.
We're already past due so anything before next week would be preferred!
Literally just started laughing because I also owe $40 for my credit card . Um. If I don't laugh I'll cry and if I cry won't be able to stop
watching western ultras start reblogging posts about how iran is evil actually while zionists are reblogging the same exact posts is truly depressing you are fucking idiots
do you think the problem with the english speaking internet is that it doesn’t hate iran enough. come the fuck on
yall would have cheered on the nato invasion of libya. a bunch of you probably did. useless pieces of shit.
it’s the exact same playbook the us and israel used against hamas and against the houthis and you dipshits fall for it every single time
this is what the manufacture of consent looks like
I am legitimately concerned that like the houthis, iran just want to do their own genocide. And I cant believe I have to say this but revenge genocide is uh. Wrong.
Iran has the second largest jewish community in SWANA, had they wanted to carry out a genocide, they would've done so a long time ago. Why can't you people go a single second without having to resort to scaremongering??
Its because they have no material ground to stand on so they MUST conjur up ghosts and spectres of the worst and completely inmaterial hypotheticals in order to retroactively justify their current material support of actual genocide. The same book every liberal under the sun uses to justify everything from voting blue no matter who to, well, active genocide.
Liberals will uphold the status quo no matter what. They have always enabled fascism to take root and grow, letting it get out of hand thanks to their capitulation and concessions. If Trump is such a big threat to America, why aren’t democrats trying to save our “democracy” with laws strengthening voting rights, limiting corporate power, enabling more checks and balances etc? It’s because they don’t actually care.
Trump is a cudgel to beat Americans into voting democrat. Last election they kept crying about abortion and guess what? Roe was overturned! And what have liberals been doing to fix it? Nothing substantial.
Meanwhile Biden has been continuing trump era policy. He’s still building the wall and putting kids in cages. He hasn’t exactly been pushing tirelessly to cancel student debt like he promised, instead forgiving small amounts and passively allowing the court to block him.
And now he’s committing genocide.
Please support this Sudanese family. They are very far from reaching their goal.
Please consider donating to this campaign!!!
Please support and share my campaign to reach out to many people across the world to have quick donations 🙏🙏💔💔please consider the situation 🙏
Chewed her down into bits
Fragrance discussions bring out the worst in people

these are the youngest plants i've ever repotted so i wasn't sure if they would even make it through the night but they all did except for one!
and i don't know how this one lost half its leaf but i've been affectionately calling it "poor thing"
The thing is that getting Palestine free is both very difficult but not as difficult as getting South Africa free. South Africa had more resources than Israel does, it could hold out so much longer and still the apartheid was ended by people working tirelessly and boycotting and pushing for divestment and sanctions. These methods will work for freeing Palestine too.
I know it doesn't feel like there have been many successes, but all the politicians are feeling the pressure. Pressure that we are able to sustain and even increase as we come up with new initiatives and convince new people to join.
One of the reasons they're resisting our pressure so strongly is because they know that when we see gains we will push harder, we will continue to push until the stones falling becomes a rock fall and Palestine's freedom is secured. They know if we get a taste of the power we can wield we'll turn that onto freeing Congo too. They know we're unhappy and have been for a long time and their very secure system starts to look a lot less secure when we start mobilising to change things.
Y'all should look into the Dorian Corey Project right here on Tumblr.
The Dorian Corey Project is a small online collective dedicated to preserving Black queer history. I found out about them a few years ago and I greatly appreciate the work they put in to honor Dorian Corey's history while so much of the dialogue surrounding her as a person tends to sensationalize her situation. They currently have a campaign running now until June called Gender In Real Life meant to "Highlight the efforts of (hyper) visible Trancestors and Ancestors whose life work inspires Black LGBTQIA people today." (The website will be up soon, too <3) Go over and show them some love and appreciation for the work they do!

For a long time, both Valjean and Cosette lacked anyone or anything to love, and they were not loved by anyone in return. Cosette would eventually become everything to Valjean, a circumstance that would ultimately have consequences. But for now, he is learning how to love her: “When he saw Cosette, when he had taken possession of her, carried her off, and delivered her, he felt his heart moved within him… Poor old man, with a perfectly new heart!”
Cosette, still a child, is more adaptable, but it's heartbreaking how her attempts to love those around her were often met with rejection. “She had loved the dog, and he had died, after which nothing and nobody would have anything to do with her.” So, she sincerely loved Valjean. It’s such good luck (destiny, Hugo says) that they found each other.
They have their happy moments — Cosette doing her things, singing, playing, laughing, and Valjean looks at her with adoration, kisses her “tiny red hand, all cracked with chilblains.” (Uh, no, child’s hand shouldn’t be like that. It’s so sad.) He also takes on the role of her educator, teaching her to read, which aligns with Hugo's ideal of childhood education. Interestingly, I had forgotten that Valjean himself initially learned to read while in prison, with the intention to harm the society.
Together, they form a perfect family dynamic: “He protected her, and she strengthened him. Thanks to him, she could walk through life; thanks to her, he could continue in virtue. He was that child’s stay, and she was his prop.”

a poem from gazan writer nadine murtaja featured in an edition of WAWOG’s “new york war crimes” in march. she dreams of becoming a dentist, though her schooling was interrupted by the current aggression and genocide.
please donate and share nadine’s campaign to evacuate herself and her family.
$10,463/$30,000 as of today (april 10 2024); nadine is just over a third of the way to her goal.

April 15 is Steal Something from Work Day!
Every April, millions of workers around the world observe this day as a chance to settle accounts with those who are profiting off their labor.
For us, it represents an opportunity to reflect on why so many people steal from their workplaces and what it would take to create a world in which doing so would be unnecessary.
instead of continuously over-donating to ao3 when those running the site are racist zionist sympathisers who shut down support of palestine from its volunteers 1 / 2 (among myriad other issues that u should NOT be funding) please direct your attention to these incomplete fundraisers for people in gaza and various tangible operations doing work. this is a call that if u have donated even a cent to ao3 to a) match that in your donations to palestinians/causes and b) stop donating so uncritically and unconditionally to ao3, pressure them. id like to direct u to @end-otw-racism
Wow. I'm just now seeing this as I was away from tumblr and didn't see that I was tagged but. Honestly I'm really disgusted. Out of spite I want to start a campaign that explicitly focuses on trying to raise an approximate amount of money close to 200 000 USD (it's CAD but hey) to save the lives of 42 members of a big family in Ghazzah, and to match the AO3 campaign's overzealousness. I personally spoke to Mahmoud Qassas and I vetted it. Donate to them!!! We can do this.
Since I made the addition to this post, there have been thousands of notes (~12k?) but since then there haven't been any donations to Mahmoud!! Please donate.
