I'm really the last person who should be talking about this, and I know this is merely symbolic of a wider issue, obviously, but holy shit it's so hard to find aesthetic moodboard pictures for my black OCs/blorbos. Like, you can search "Black Grunge" and it's a bunch of black and white pictures of the palest people you've ever seen, or just people in black clothes, but if you dare to put "Afro" or "African" in the search terms you just get a bunch of stock photos of black people.

I don't really have a proposed solution or anything, as mentioned I'm not an expert on race theory or anything (much as I try) and I genuinely just want to find aesthetic pics of black people doing things out in places that aren't a green screen or generic ikea kitchen set.

Bonus points if you can find grungy pics of black hands holding cigarettes or medical supplies or whatever for my edgy nonsense

i have never met an unpsychotic person who knows what it actually means to “not encourage the delusion” …not a single one

what “don’t encourage the delusion” means:

what it does not mean:

I don’t mean to trivialize psychosis by making a weird comparison, but this guide also serves as a handy checklist for helping someone through a bad drug trip. In both cases your number one priority is to get the person through whatever they’re dealing with unharmed.

i don’t think it’s trivializing at all, nor a weird comparison—as a psychotic person who has had psychotic episodes inadvertently triggered by drug use and/or worsened while trying to self-medicate with drugs, i think this is an important addition.

I'm so fucking tired, Y'all

this is him btw

This is our life now, and how is your life now?

It's the story of a man who had dreams just like you, but war stole them.👇👇

My name is Abdullah, I am 20 years old. I was a university student. I had dreams for a bright future, but I did not know that war would come and make me ask for money in this difficult way. But this is life.

I created the campaign for two purposes:

1-Complete my education

I want to complete my education but this is difficult now because of the high fees so I hope you can help me with a little money

This link is to help complete my education.👇👇🥹

2-Escape from war and travel

After this war, everything will be destroyed, houses, schools, universities, streets, roads and infrastructure, so life will become difficult.

to help escape the war👇👇

Now can you donate a cup of coffee in the morning?

On 12 March 1990, dozens of disabled people descended on the US Capitol and carried out a protest which became known as the Capitol Crawl. Participants were protesting against the stalling of a proposed law, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which would prohibit discrimination against disabled people. Around 1000 other protesters watched and cheered while dozens of members of ADAPT, a group campaigning for public transit access for disabled people, abandoned their wheelchairs and mobility aids and began crawling up the steps of the building housing Congress. It was a powerful illustration of the difficulties faced by many disabled people faced with a hostile environment which had been constructed without their needs in mind. Michael Winter, one of the participants later reflected: “Some people may have thought it was undignified for people in wheelchairs to crawl in that manner, but I felt that it was necessary to show the country what kinds of things people with disabilities have to face on a day-to-day basis. We had to be willing to fight for what we believed in.” In the wake of the protest, Congress passed the bill and it was signed into law in July 1990. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.1819457841572691/2229212140597257/?type=3

35 Years ago Today (12 March, 2025)

Today, the BBC World Service aired an interview with one of the ADAPT activists who participated in the Capital Crawl. (Unfortunately, and supremely ironically, there is no transcript at the site where this interview streams, but if you can, and want to, you can listen to the interview here):

Urgent surgery needed to save Gaza teen’s leg

Mohammed is in a crisis situation, on which you can find more information under our “#mohammed al habil” tag.

Mohammed has been unable to attend his physical therapy due to lack of funds. The condition of his leg has deteriorated as a result.

He now requires an urgent operation in order to save the function in his leg. Mohammed is only 18, and he is terrified of spending the rest of his life with only 1 usable leg.

The operation costs $4,000. Currently, Mohammed's campaign is at just over €17,000. This represents the total funds raised over time, not the funds currently avallable.

New temporary goal: €21,000 EUR

Need to raise: €3,712 EUR (about $3,828 USD)

Please help Mohammed save his leg!

NOTE: I am unable to effectively fundraise for Mohammed. We are urgently hoping for bloggers who will be able to devote time and attention to promoting his campaign. Please consider making a post for Mohammed to promote his campaign so he can save his leg!

🚨🚨Major update!!🚨🚨

As explained here, Mohammed underwent the first stage of the surgery he needs to return function to his leg. This has left him with serious medical debt that he must pay off urgently.

He remains stranded in southern Gaza, unable to walk due to his injury. He is all alone, and has no way to support himself. He desperately needs funds for food, his ongoing care regiment, his debt, and a future medical evacuation.

We have set a new temporary goal to raise €500 EUR (about $525 USD)

New temporary goal: €20,804 EUR

Temporary goal met! Thank you all!

Unfortunately Mohammed remains in dire need. The IOF’s ongoing attacks and their debilitating blockade mean that food and medical supplies remain scarce and very, very expensive.

Mohammed remains in southern Gaza, alone. He has no way to support himself and no one to support him. He desperately needs your support to survive!

Our new temporary goal is €22,000 EUR. Let’s meet it asap so Mohammed can continue to survive alone and disabled in southern Gaza.

Current: €21,004 EUR

New temporary goal: €22,000 EUR

did you hear they finally announced the 2025 DNI Basic Criteria. bad news for fans of insane clown posse im afraid.

mom im scared everyones beung really funny on my post

It breaks my heart to see that the world is such that there is no one to hold the Zionist state and the US empire accountable. The Zionists keep on crying about October 7th and the hostages, and every Western institution keeps on coddling them. There has been no genuine acknowledgement of the fact that the British government implanted an illegal settler colony in Palestine and that settler colony forced the native people out of their homes in 1948. There has been no genuine acknowledgent of the horrors of the Nakba, no acknowledgement of ethnic cleansing, no acknowledgement of the destruction of the land in trying to hide the genocide of 1948 through greenwashing, there has been no acknowledgement of the fact that Gaza has been an open air prison, and that Hamas has every right to push back against the oppression of the Zionist state. Right now another genocide is being carried out in front of our eyes, with enthusiastic encouragement from the Western world, the most complicit being the USA. It was always about re-occupation of Gaza and today the Zionist state violated the ceasefire. I am scared for my friends. I am terrified and I do not know how to help except to keep the fundraisers circulating.

So please donate to my friend Siraj Abudayeh.

And please keep requesting a refund from both of his gofundme campaigns, that were shut down unfairly by the fundraising site. I do not care how long you have to go back and forth with gofundme on this, but Siraj lost 32k because of the site's callousness and even recovering half of that money would mean a lot. So if you have donated in November, December of 2024 and in January of this year, please request a refund because Gofundme allows requests upto a year. They should by their own policy still have the money with them. Please help by clicking on the links above...

Brazil just had the biggest false flag "communist" terror attack since the military dictatorship lmao

Someone planted two bombs in a subway station here in São Paulo yesterday, alongside the obviously fake communist flyers.

Highlights:

a whole bunch of gazan mutual aid projects and nonprofits. if the decision of which individual fundraiser to give to feels too daunting, or if you just want to help as many people as possible in one go, these are great initiatives to support.

certainly this is not an exhaustive list, so please feel free to add on other projects or organizations that i didn't include. and as always, please take the time to donate if you can and share. it truly makes all the difference.

I have not been able to donate on Gofundme for a long time now. Any time I try, the payment page gets stuck loading and just won't process. If anyone else is having this strangely ill-timed issue these would be some great alternatives to making a difference in some way.

Everytime I refresh my feed, the number of Palestinians massacred by Israel today rises.

419 is the most recent number of Palestinians killed in an Israeli large-scale sneak attack that started at 2 in the morning today (March 18). That's over 400 people massacred while they slept. That's more than 400 people killed in less than 24 hours.
