now feels like a good time to reiterate that Iranians have been martyred by america + israel already, both empires that possess nuclear weapons, and that Iran does not have nuclear weapons. so now is not the time to joke about america getting nuked-- any retaliation on Iran's part is justified and the only way we escape this situation, but Iran is not going to nuke us, because the entire premise that Iran has nukes is how america justified bombing them and also the exact same rhetoric we used against Iraq and how we killed my countrysmen when there was again no evidence of nuclear warfare. New York City is not going to get fucking nuked. go listen to a podcast or something

Hello, my name is Lama, and I am from Gaza City, specifically in the northern Gaza Strip. I grew up in a loving family of resilience and hope, with my parents working tirelessly to provide us with a life of dignity and opportunity. My father was our steadfast provider, and my mother was the heart of our home. I have two brothers and three sisters, the youngest of whom is just six months old. She is frail and often sick due to the lack of proper food and medicine. My siblings and I have shared dreams of education, careers and a bright future. But life in Gaza is marked by hardship, and when the war began, everything we had built was shattered. My older brother, a kind and a courageous soul, was martyred while trying to secure basic necessities for our survival, my younger sister was gravely injured, and the cost of her treatment weighs more than the universe to us, now the responsibility for my family has fallen on my shoulders.

Our home, once filled with warmth, laughter and memories, has been reduced to rubble. We have been displaced more than thirty times from place to a place with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Each time we returned, we found more destruction, we always clung to the hope of rebuilding, but in the last attack, our home was completely destroyed, we are now homeless, living in unsafe conditions with no shelter to protect us from the cold nights. The loss of our home is not just the loss of a building, it’s the loss of safety, stability, and the place where our dreams were nurtured.

With my father unemployed since the beginning of the war, we have no income to provide even the most basic necessities. Water, food, medicine, warm clothes and blankets-things that many take for granted-are beyond our reach. Every day is a battle for survival, and every night is a reminder of the dangers and struggles we face. I am determined to care for family and give my younger brothers and sisters a chance to grow up with hope. But I cannot do it alone.

I am reaching out to you with a plea for compassion and action. Your support can help us rebuild our lives, restore hope, and secure a future where my family can live in peace and safety. Every donation, no matter how small brings us closer to survival and dignity. Please for the sake of god and humanity, help us in this time of desperate need.

Doctor Hossein Kermanpour | Iran, Tehran

“The unfortunate result of this false slogan that "the Israeli government has nothing to do with the Iranian people and its goals are only military!" After 65 hours of the Zionist regime's aggression, 1,481 injured and martyred people have been hospitalized, 1,277 of whom are hospitalized in university hospitals in the country, and more than 90 percent are civilians! Of these, 522 have been discharged and 224 women, men, and children have been martyred!”

My name is Fatima, a 21-year-old woman🤰.Just one month before the war, I was engaged, dreaming of a warm home and a small family.But the war tore us apart—my fiancé and I were separated between northern and southern Gaza, with no way to communicate💔.

Despite the pain, we held on to hope. Months later, I left my family and joined him.We got married, believing it was the start of a new life.But the bombing returned, and we were displaced again… Now we live in a fragile tent in western Gaza, awaiting the birth of our first child amid conditions unfit for life🥹😭.

I’m pregnant🤰, and my due date is near🥹. I have none of the essentials I need as a mother or even as a human being🙏.We lack everything: medical care, food, clean water, and basic supplies for childbirth and the baby🥲.

I’m not asking for the impossible—just enough to protect my life and my baby’s

Your donation is our only hope🥹😢.

My campaign is new and has not received much support. Please support me and my family.

you know, I don't understand how "asexuals experience fake oppression" rhetoric caught on so much given that asexuality has been extremely pathologized

[iyote]

it hasn't stopped, it's sparce where I can hear but I hear some every now and then.

I don't know if where I am will be safe but the dorms my university friends stay at is right by a power plant. aside from horrible choice of putting them so close by, they're hearing a lot more over there which really scares me. please please PLEASE keep your eyes on the news, no matter how fucked up our government is, nothing can justify destroying people's homes and targeting nuclear places while claiming to be on the side of people. please don't let israel get away with this, or any other atrocities it is committing. People you might know and love could be dying because of this. speak up and spread the news and PLEASE donate to families fundraisers. don't let them give up hope. even if it's just for a day

Oh my God

FYI

[iyote]

buildings of civilians have been brought down by the bombs, seems like they were going for important big figures in the military/government but that doesn't excuse shit. it's not just Tehran, multiple other cities have reported hearing them nearby. since Iran's government doesn't actually clear up anything until it's pressured and the American news outlets just lying about them targeting nuclear powerplants, people living here are the ones doing the reporting. there have been casualties, not any confirmation on whether they hit their "targets" yet.

i will never understand the rabid insistence that there is nothing individuals can do to help fight against the climate crisis/pollution/etc. are major corporations responsible for almost all of the significant damage? of course. we’ve known that for years. but there are small choices we can make on the daily to absolve ourselves of as much harm as we can. no you cannot avoid that you live in a capitalist hellscape but you know how to use a trash can and you can use public transportation once in a while.

Hello 🙋

My name is Ahmed, I’m 20 years old, and I’m from Gaza City. I used to dream of a peaceful life, completing my education, and getting a job, but the war has turned that dream into something impossible 💔😭. We lived through this massacre in every painful detail, and we are still in pain 😔. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in the north of Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Strip. After we fixed a small room in our destroyed house to live in and start over, unfortunately, the war returned, stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter and no source of income. We have exhausted all our savings during the war. I know that I started my campaign very late, but that’s because there is no other way to help my family 🙏. I am fully confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these difficult circumstances 😔.

I know that the feeling of starting from scratch is painful and frustrating, but I hope to receive any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

Even a small donation would have a great impact on us 🥺. May God bless you, my friend 🥰❤️.

there's a section of the book Ace by Angela Chen that talks about the problem of co-option of sexual language to describe all strong feelings - it's definitely not just a "fandom" problem

not gonna say it on the post I just reblogged bc op is talking about their experience and i don’t wanna be rude. but as an aroace person it does frustrate me how often “horniness” comes up in discussions about fandom

it’s not about any individual post and I’m not trying to say that shipping, smut fic, etc aren’t a big and in many cases foundational part of fandom. but I see it so often in posts about general fandom experiences and i can’t help but feel excluded by it
