Hi friends happy stupid holidays my student loan payment suddenly went up $500 without notice so now I’m in the negatives and $350 short on the rest of my bills for this month. I know we’re all hurting, but if anyone can help out, it would be hugely appreciated. I’m gonna try to get it sorted so another $700+ payment doesn’t come out at the end of the month too (I pay 2x a month), but it won’t change the amount I’m already out…

there are some internet friends where eventually you start calling them by their real name and then there’s times where its like nah son your name is crispy forever

This is the worst Eid I have ever experienced in my entire life. I lost all my friends in the war and I am left alone here suffering from the pain of loss. I used to go and visit my friends, but today I went to their homes and found their mothers collapsing from crying and grieving over the loss of their sons. We used to meet and go out and spend a pleasant time together, but unfortunately today I went and visited them in the cemetery and sat next to them all day crying from the intensity of my pain and regret. How difficult this feeling is for me and I cannot bear it!!! 😭

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

Growing up, I was taught Rosa Parks was a helpless victim. She, of course, was a victim but she was not helpless. She knew exactly what she was doing when she refused to move. It's because of her courageous act of protest many of us remember the horrible discrimination laws that existed then.

People who want to erase the power of protestors will twist the narrative to portray the victim as meek and fragile. Like those protesting just wanted peace in the moment.

But, like op stated, this trans woman wanted the world to see. She wanted to direct all eyes towards the discriminatory laws in place the same way Rosa Parks did.

People who stand up to bigotry in this manner do not want peace in the moment. They want the violence highlighted so peace will come for those after them. It's a sacrifice. They look their oppressors in the eye and bait them so the world can see how ugly the system is. They know very well they will likely be arrested or even killed. But, that too is part of the message.

Activists like this make an extremely hard decision to sacrifice their well-being for the sake of human rights.

I hope this courageous woman can safely resume her life and I hope her form of protest is heard across the country.

It is October 7th.

@olagaza is a graduate student from Palestine and since the genocide started her life has turned upside down. She has been trying on social media as the sole breadwinner of her family begging people for so long to raise the ammount she needs to support her family and she still hasn't reached her goal.

She needs to raise enough to be able to consistently support 7 people including herself. Her entire family faces loss of shelter and with the prices of food and supplies skyrocketing in Gaza, they're struggling to buy adequate food and clean water is scarce.

I know a lot of people have become desensitised to the sheer scale of violence in Gaza but I want you to imagine. Imagine how you would feel if your entire neighborhood was flattened by bombs. Your house, your friends, your neighbors all gone. Just step into Ola's shoes for a minute. Imagine having to endure this for a full year.
