I’m making this post on the behalf of Sami Al-Khalili and his family, who are currently suffering in Gaza. If you’ve the means please consider donating here.

Sami says:

“Me and my family were forced to flee again, and my injured daughter’s condition is getting worse.

We have nothing to eat, and when I go to the food distribution centers, the centers and I are directly targeted.

I am terrified of being killed and leaving my family behind, but I also can’t bear to see them starving. Please, think on what you’d do and feel in my place.”

If you can’t directly donate, than any kind of engagement you give the campaign would help a lot! Thank you.

on twitter in 2022 i said “fandom likes to baby white villains and excuse their behavior, like with kylo ren and snape and izzy hands” and i got torn to absolute shreds even though i wasnt saying anything new and now people are coming out of a black-ass vampire movie doting on the white villain

This disability pride month I'm BEGGING you to acknowledge and care about the people in this community who often fly under the radar when it comes to positivity and information. People who require equipment to live, like ventilators, pacemakers, and feeding tubes. People who are bedbound. People with visible differences. People who have disabilities caused by things like substance abuse, overdose, or self harm. People with conditions so rare that they've never met someone who has the same one. People who need full time care and have to have help to use social media.

If you want to support the community, that means supporting all of the community. Disability pride means being proud of every last one of us, and making sure everyone feels heard. Make sure to amplify the voices of those who need it this month, and ideally for the rest of the year too.

I know we’re all feeling like shit right now because, unlike in the movies, the bad guys won even though we tried our hardest, but listen.

You need to keep calling.

Make it part of your routine. Call your rep’s office and both of your senators’ offices at least once a week. Tell them you are a constituent and you are angry about [the next outrage].

Be a regular. Make them learn your name. Don’t back down.

Because they want you to feel hopeless. They want you to give up. That’s how they won in 2024 and that’s how they won today. By making you feel that what you do doesn’t matter.

Don’t let up. Don’t stop calling. Don’t stop holding them to account.

This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Welp.

“june is over so now it’s gay wrath month” blah blah reminder that july is disability pride month and is often ignored and disregarded!! funnel that wrath into advocating for your disabled peers and amplifying their voices

Please, please constantly challenge and reject the narrative that any region is naturally more prone to war than any other, like that's a characteristic inherent to its make-up, like that's geographically assigned risk the same way an area can be earthquake-prone or hurricane-prone.

There has never been a utopia on Earth and nowhere is entirely free of conflict, but this disastrous scale of violence inflicted upon the SWANA region is a deliberate and calculated effort of destabilization by Western powers who want to bleed the region dry. It's not an immutable part of the contour of the land that its people must adapt to and live with. It can be stopped and should be stopped. These people were once free and can be freed again.

Every time you see someone hand-waving a crisis at this scale as "conflict in the Middle East" it is an abominable tool to dehumanize Arabs to the point where nobody bats an eye at the death of their children.

Examine what that phrase means. What is a "conflict in the Middle East"? What happens in Yemen isn't what happens in Morocco isn't what happens in Palestine isn't what happens in Iraq, but this catch-all term is meant to translate in your mind into "problems are happening where problems are always happening", because of course they are! Conflict in the Middle East? What else is new, clouds in the sky? Fish in the sea? It lulls you into apathy; Arabs are dying - but that's what they do, don't they?

And so three goals of the perpetrators of this violence are achieved. First, they wash their hands from it; they didn't set the place on fire, it was already like this when they got there! Second, does it even matter whose fault it is? Who cares about a dead brown child anyway? Who's counting the death toll? Third, since this is an unchangeable quality of their region, and has nothing to do with the West, why protest it? Why fight for them? Why demand anything out of Western leaders?
