It’s really heartening how much people on this site came together to help Ahmed @90-ghost. He’s in Egypt now with his younger brother waiting on his mom and older brother to join them. The issue now is living expenses. Life is extremely difficult for displaced people, and the future is uncertain. If you’ve ever wondered how you can help a Palestinian displaced by the genocide, here’s one way to do so.
Making Gaza safe again from unexploded bombs could take 14 years
“All I can say is that at least 10 per cent of the ammunition that is being fired potentially fails to function… we’re talking about 14 years of work with 100 trucks, so that’s 14 years [...] to remove the debris.”
Not sure if we all are even able to realise the magnitude of this catastrophe in Gaza topped with communication blackouts and electricity cuts that has been ongoing for 6+ months.
Something that I couldn't stop thinking about for weeks is the fact that many Palestinians have lost count of the number of days this genocide has been going on for. I saw someone's Instagram story from Gaza of them debating with their friends what even date of the month it was.
The way that woman's fans are like "Sorry you're illiterate and cant grasp the depth of our queens lyrics. Soup comes in a bowl actually while we're at it" idk if you're missing the funny lil metaphorical use of plate instead of bowl at work there I think you may have some work to do on your reading comprehension but what do I know
some quilts by Jonathan Shannon (1938–2016) photographed at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles
Canciones de Mi Padre, 1989
From My Garden of Earthly Delights, 1992
Amigos Muertos, 1994. Rejected from the American Quilter's Society show due to the inclusion of Shannon's red AIDS ribbon (left skeleton). Shannon had won Best in Show the year before. Shannon organized protest letters as a result and made some impact on the issue of censorship in quilting.
While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.
Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.
Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.
Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.
If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.
Watch this short report to get a glimpse of what Israel has been subjecting Palestinians it has taken captive since October 7, whose numbers have now surpassed 8,400 from the West Bank alone.
The conditions in Israeli prisons have intensified and men, women, children and elderly people are subjected to starvation and torture. 14 Palestinian captives have in fact died in Israeli prisons since October 7, which is an alarming and unprecedented escalation to the already dire humanitarian crisis taking place in Israeli torture chambers.
The family of the 74 year old man in the video, Omar Assaf, did not even recognise him. He describes the past 6 months feeling as though they were 6 years.
wanna help a physically disabled autism get by this month?
good news! that's me and you totally can. 🥰 only if you're a financially secure adult tho.
hi, i'm tdf and i live under the poverty line (income less than $1k/mo) bc my mitochondria are gorked and there are soso many other things wrong with me 😔
unfortunately this causes problems like
not having enough money
because being disabled is expensive cuz you need things abled people don't which sucks! and i can't just work more when i'm broke! bc i am Brokened.
i've been sick as hell for months bc life stuff has been A Lot and pushed me into a bad flareup. so things are extra tight rn.
anyways if you wanna help out your local autistic blogger:
i have a food and necessities wishIist that also includes visa and other gifft cards so i can get stuff that isn't available on amazon
a walmart card to help w groceries would also make a huge difference. they can be sent anonymously (or not) and start at $5.
i will reblog this post with an update and turn off reblogs if i get enough help that i think I can get by!!
i'm really sorry to be asking when so many ppl are in need but. i am too unfortunately. 😔 thank you for tolerating this post on yr dash!
EDIT: I forgot that knowledge of my email address is not just like divinely granted to everyone! 😅 It's thatdiabolicalfeminist at gmail dot com.
