some things to know about seeking asylum, and being a refugee, as the vitriol continues to ramp up.

under the 1951 convention of refugees, you cannot "illegally" seek asylum. you have the right to be in a country, until a decision is made.

in every country i know, you must have entered the country to seek asylum. you cannot seek asylum from a country you are not in.

therefore, this means, you have to either enter the country through non-conventional channels [e.g., migration via boats] or enter the country under false pretences [e.g. lying on your visa application by stating you are coming for "tourism".] furthermore, due to how getting a visa works, many people who desperately need safety, will never have the funds to get a visa, or may be denied entry. this is no fault of their own.

there is an immense burden on you to "integrate", and no real pressure for countries to help you do so. this is a local example, but home office has been repeatedly informed that different dialects of Arabic are not mutually intelligible, and translators should be provided with the same dialect. this does not happen.

a lot of refugees have complicated feelings about both their home countries and the countries they have sought asylum from. this is not "bad".

to get refugee status, you must continually demonstrate all your vulnerable moments, and how much they have affected you to strangers. there is a lack of privacy, and it takes a toll on you quickly. i would have liked to not narrate the worst parts of my life. i would have liked if there wasn't an expectation for me to not get emotional about it.

refugees have dreams and aspirations and families and jobs they like and money and wealth they might have left and people do not realise, how much people are willing to sacrifice for safety.

we are human too.

as always, if you have questions about asylum seeking, being a refugee, my experience, and so on and so forth, my inbox is always open. personal questions included 👍🏽 don't worry about getting invasive.

if you have spare money, and want to help a refugee begin to rebuild his life, help me here :)

slavery is honestly kind of an insulting word to use to describe what white people did to black people in this country and I think it boils it down to something that doesn’t even scratch the surface. You’re not recovering from that and everything that came after in just a few decades. People always want to say well the Chinese Americans and Italians or whoever tf else recovered from their oppression why can’t black people and it’s like just so eye opening to know that so many people cannot fathom what chattel slavery in this country was like. For 400 years. And they spent every year afterwards trying to recreate slavery in a way that was legal. It disgusts me to no end and even black people aren’t exempt from belittling what was done to them.

Lil nas x getting charged with 3 counts of battery against a police officer and resisting arrest as a black man going through a mental health crisis where the police approached aggressively and tackled him to the ground is depressingly par for the course for police and specifically the lapd and it should piss people off and instead people are making jokes about it in instagram comments :/

they call themselves trannies and t4t but they took the tgirl out of tgirl tummy tuesday and they call blahaj the 'femboy shark' and they're constantly talking about how 'transmisogyny affects everyone' and they refer to us as 'transwomen' and faggots and talk about sex-based oppression and say we're male-socialized and they literally say that trans men are the women of the trans community and ok you get my fucking point right

I WILL LOOSE MY HEALTHCARE IF I DON'T PAY!!!!

Hola again, I'm Calli, a nonbinary parent dealing with chronic illness, chronic pain, unemployment and severe depression. You can tell I've been feeling very useless.

Long story short is we never make the goal, I need to get my medication and pay my healthcare or I will loose it which would fuck me up massively.

I need $270 for my medication since I lost the Monday's discount and $105 for my healthcare monthly renewal before August 20th 9pm when the bank closes.

Not even taking into account we need to afford the laundromat since we don't have a washing machine, we need to afford renting a computer to look for jobs, print documents and just beg for help when nothing works.

And most importantly there are 9 people, myself included, who count on how good I can beg for help so we can afford groceries and all the basics. Some of them are kids, some elderly and we have 4 diabetics. My MiL is in line for 2 major surgeries that she has been denied because we can't keep her blood sugar levels stable enough for lack of food.

I also really REALLY need help afford important paperwork and court fees to secure my kids will be with my partner when I die, considering my declining health.

Anything extra will be put on the repairs so we can stop living with black mold all over the house. Please.

$0/$700

$0/$270 medication

$0/$105 URGENT!!!!

$0/$300 court fees

$0/$1,300 mold repairs

Please, I will literally beg on my knees, I cry everyday cause this has become severely depressing. I just want to things to get better, still hoping to land a proper job.

Might even need a pair of shoes since mine are already tearing apart and it hurts to walk like this

Hello👋

I am Shaima from Gaza, 32 years old, a mother of four children who have suffered from fear, displacement, and homelessness. Can you imagine? They are living through a horrific war for which they have no fault. Yet the war in Gaza has stolen their beauty and childhood, and burdened them with worries far beyond their years. They even search for water as if they have aged decades.

I am now the sole breadwinner for the family because my husband, Ibrahim, who has always been determined to succeed and who has been my primary source of inspiration and strength, was severely injured in the foot during the war and has lost his passion for everything, even his own medical care. He needs special treatment for his foot, and without it, he suffers from severe pain, fatigue, and exhaustion. What did he do to deserve this?

We lived in peace despite all the hardships, but in moments, we lost a great effort. We struggled and rebuilt ourselves from nothing, until God provided for us, but I never imagined that our struggle and effort would fade and never return. Our home, with all its beauty and warm memories, is buried under the rubble. I only grieve for the memories.

As for me, I won't talk about myself because everything that happened saddens and pains me. But to you, people of mercy, I place my hopes in you to save my family. My family and I are not safe from this war. I pray to God to help us survive this death, so that we can survive what remains of us. Please help us buy the basic necessities and leave Gaza so we can treat my husband's foot - the cost of leaving is $5,000 per person. Help us live a dignified life. My family is the most precious thing in my life, and I thank every donor for their humanity. 🌹🇵🇸

Deaf people have double the suicide rate that hearing people do. If you're hearing, put that number in your head, really think about how high that is. This is especially true if you're queer and/or surrounded by people who have experienced suicidal ideation. Think about just how appalling that number is. Think about what double that number would be like in your community.

[violexides]

ok basically i only need 400 more dollars for my move and i still dont know how much my parents will give me. that will give me enough time to get my feet back under me. basically everything else is taken care of for now. im sorry to be doing this. i know everyone is in need im doing everything i can. we are being fucked over by our landlords.

you kind of have to be genuinely insanely isolated from even thinking about real world racism to be seeing these ""slurs for robots/AI users 🤪"" and not have alarm bells going off about how clearly they're based on real world violent slurs for people of color. the fact that you didn't think about it is itself a problem, not a defense!!
