“why do i believe this” and “who benefits from me believing it” are the first steps to decolonization and we should all be doing this more

since this is on my dash again another two steps, a little harder this time

“who do i hurt when i do this?” and “could i look them in the eye, validate and acknowledge that hurt, and then keep doing it anyway?”

feels like a good day for another two.

“whose voice is missing from this story” and then “how do i seek out those voices/how does a story i think i know change when i add new perspectives”

If this comic made you smile, please help us!!

We are a family of ten trying to survive in northern Gaza. Our landlord keeps increasing our rent, and we will be at the mercy of the drones and the tanks if we have to leave, on top of having to leave behind all of our belongings. Every kind of food at the market now costs a fortune and there are no jobs available due to the dangerous situation outside, so we have to fully rely on this campaign.

My sister Soso is only four years old, what kind of life is this for her? My mother and I have been sick and thankfully we finally got the help of a doctor, but that means we had to pay for the medicine as well. In the midst of this, I’m also trying to complete my engineering degree, but it’s difficult with money worries on my mind.

Please help, I swear I’ll be thankful for anything. Share at least if you can’t afford to donate.

not that i am against the concept of international trade nor do i think tariffs are based or whatever but what is interesting is seeing how much of the american reaction comes down to “but *i* dont want to work in a factory for pennies and *i* dont want my currency to be worthless and to have to pay one billion dollars for iphone” without even acknowledging your comfort depends on a global population who is forced to live under those exact conditions. right. like it or not, for the world to exist as it does, someone’s got to do it. someone’s got to mine the precious metals, someone’s got to forge the machine parts. someone’s got to ruin their body for slave wages, somewhere. the fact that you and i don’t is a result of winning a total genetic lottery and it is the exception not the norm and do what you want with that information but at least dont be callous

Two days since last donation.

This stagnation of @ma7moudgaza2's campaign is devastating for many reasons, one of which is that he just received the news that to enroll to the upcoming semester, he needs to pay 10% of its fees in advance, in addition to having paid 30% of the previous semester.

Last year when Mahmoud was in danger of being barred from sitting for his midterms until he paid his fees, you all came through for him. I believe your generosity will come through again. ❤️

Share this so that I can register for the new semester!!!

While Mahmoud @ma7moudgaza2 has been securing study rooms, seats, power, and WiFi for 30 students to be able to pursue their degrees remotely, his own studies have come to a halt because he hasn't paid last semester's fees.

If he doesn't pay in time, he will be barred from sitting for his upcoming finals remotely. Please help him by donating to his gfm here or by sharing if you can't donate.

Mahmoud is vetted here.

if you ever used the trolley problem to describe the genocide the US is funding as a 'lesser evil' you're not allowed to be angry when someone implies the economic collapse of the US would be worth it if it forces the US to loosen its chokehold on other regions. you can't suddenly start finding the trolley metaphor disgusting only when you find yourself on the other train track. either you've always been against it or you shut the fuck up.

shut up about how "bad" she did at a sport, a woman is being told she can't do something because of the way she was born, she just happens to be trans so yall think misogyny and bioessentialism is suddenly ok

"she only placed in 24th!" well im only gonna explode you with my mind

I do love learning that people I know's support for women like me extends only as long as we never strive to actually be the best at something.

Love doing something? Better hope you're only mediocre at best, as otherwise you'll be kicked down to where you belong for daring to take the place of a real person.

Fight for my inclusion because I'm a fucking woman, not because I'm too pathetic to have a chance in hell at excelling or of beating you.

i'm happy at all the positive responses this has gotten in defense of the trans woman, but i think some people are losing the plot so i wanna lay it out in full: the arguments around this event and any event like this boil down to one side overexplaining why trans women are too evil to compete in sports and the other side overexplaining that we should be allowed because we suck, but what we actually want people to recognize and what both arguments dance around is that we're women, and we just wanna play a sport and there's no justification needed as for why we should be allowed to. if you get to play a sport, women, and therefore trans women, should get to play it too Full Stop

palestinians under genocide should not have to audition for people’s empathy, yet this is what they have to do in order to receive any attention. fundraisers have been moving very slowly bc attention is waning.

this is true for eyad’s campaign as well, even though he tells me every day the conditions that he and his family have to endure.

i don’t know what else i can say to grab and sustain people’s attention. i just hope you donate to eyad’s campaign and share it if you cannot.

the last donation was 21 hours ago. please share and donate if you can.

Tagging a few ppl below for visibility. Apologies if you've been tagged multiple times!

you know my recent post about how most men are unwilling to dismantle sexgender hierarchy because doing so consistently necessarily costs some degree of their masculinity/benefits they receive socially, and that men taking any feminist action often expect and feel entitled to recuperating their masculinity through attention/labor/adoration from women or by asserting superiority over other men

apparently it was cross posted to Reddit & men on there are literally just tripping over themselves to prove my point. I saw a screenshot of one saying that if “op” wants men to act feminist then there should be incentive like “better relationships with women which lead to sex”

this is why I do not trust y’all to actually sacrifice power when it counts.

Hey

I know yall are probably tired of seeing me on your dash, unfortunately you are going to have to.

Hiii im still stuck and when the night rolls over ill be back to the start basically due to the overdraft fee; I will be selling pokemon keychains if anyone wants one; they look akin to this:

Dm if interested, I have a few i can currently make.

Overdraft fee hit, I need 45 dollars to be in the clear, can anyone possibly help me out so i can avoid this getting worse? If anyone wants to buy a keychain with bead charms on it similar to the one below or above please dm me

Should I put $10 towards food, or towards education and development in Gaza?

This is a real question, not just theory or philosophy… a question I face every day, and I found myself needing to answer it clearly.

Today in Gaza, people are hungry… but also, people are lost. There's a graduate sitting on rubble with no laptop to even work on. There's a university student studying by candlelight, without internet to continue their education. There's an engineer, who instead of building, is searching for a box of aid to feed his family.

Do you know what this means? It means the occupation doesn't want to kill us with bullets, it wants to kill us with ignorance, with helplessness, by turning us into just people waiting for a bag of flour, waiting for aid… and that's the biggest crime against us. Today we all in Gaza need a bite to eat… but tomorrow? Do I want to spend my whole life depending on others to live? This is the question that worries me the most!! Or should I be able to provide for myself and my family and rebuild my life from scratch?

That's why, instead of that $10 being a meal for one day, let it be an investment in a student who will emerge from under the rubble, will learn, and will be able to provide their own food forever.

Let it be a share of Esnad, not just so Gaza can live another day… but so that Gaza can rise, stand, and persevere forever.

Help us build a future for the coming days in Gaza. We at ISNAD Foundation provide free scholarships for students. Help us rebuild Gaza by building its students and empowering them to have a suitable learning environment.

Every seat in school means a promising future for a student who has lost his source of support. By empowering these students, we enable Gaza to rise again, powered by its promising youth. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can save the future of a family in Gaza!

The Israeli occupation bombed Nasser Hospital and bombed the journalists' tent there, which led to the burning of 3 journalists and there are 8 martyrs. The Israeli occupation is using the most heinous types of killing and genocide against us. We do not deserve all of this. Please, I do not want to burn to death here. Help me with a donation, so that I can escape, me and my family, out of Gaza as soon as possible. Please.

We desperately need your help here so we can escape the war zone. Please donate and share. Tell everyone what's happening to us here.!!!

"While all children around the world live in safety and stability during their holidays and normal days, our children and the children of Gaza suffer from fear, hunger, and death on a daily basis. The holiday that brings joy and happiness to children everywhere cannot protect our children in Gaza from the pain and horror that surround them. We appeal to everyone who believes in freedom and humanity to extend a helping hand and to participate with whatever they can, through donations or contributions, in raising the voices of the children of Gaza so that they reach all the good people in the world. Let us work together to stop this suffering and grant children their right to a safe and stable life. Please help me by donating or share my link . We are now under bombardment and hunger.

They wore their Eid clothes... then the occupation bombed them! People... This is what Eid is like in Gaza.
