From Walaa's family, please help them escape Gaza by donating and sharing with your friends, family, and followers - time is of the essence. €30,044 out of €80,000 (4/23/2024)
I was walking through the toy aisle at Target when I found this thing and had a VIOLENT AND IMMEDIATE FLASHBACK to when JP first came out and they had a bunch of REALLY COOL T Rex toys that I would have sold one of my scrawny small-child limbs for but my mother wouldn’t get me one because they were “too violent and also ate people” :(
btw japanese lgbt people who are also in solidarity with palestine are protesting tokyo rainbow pride (TRP) that’s happening this weekend so let’s not reblog stuff about tokyo rainbow pride happening especially without understanding who is sponsoring it
Hello! I come with some good news! In the EU, a law has been passed restricting generative AIs (particularly ones that pose a high risk). I hope other areas in the world follow suit, but this is huge! It'll take a while to be applied as well, though this is still a major win for everyone.

✌️ Not get distracted away from Gaza. Gaza is the priority
http://arab.org - clicks generate funds that go to gaza (it's free, you can do it daily)
http://gazaesims.com - purchase e-sim cards for gazans without internet
@CareForGaza's PayPal - sends funds to displaced families in gaza
http://piousprojects.org/campaign/2712 - provides hygiene kits for women/girls in gaza
I found these useful links on Twitter and thought of sharing them here too for easier access. I don't have much reach on my socials but I want to try spread the word as much as possible, consider reblogging for better reach.
I was originally planning on holding off sharing this until June, but then decided to hell with that; why wait?
FURTHER RESOURCES:
Intersections: Indigenous and 2SLGBTQQIA+ Identities – this booklet from the Native Women’s Association of Canada is more intended towards 2S folks, but is still a great read for anyone.
Two Spirits, One Voice – This video from Egale is a great, no more comments needed.
A Two-Spirit Journey: The Autobiography of a Lesbian Ojibwa-Cree Elder – This book by Ma-Nee Chacaby can be a difficult and emotional read, but very much worth it.
