’Hinduphobia’ is literally not a thing in India, you just want to be oppressed because your entire life you’ve been conditioned to be patriotic and nationalist and that almost always means Hindu nationalism and you’ve been conditioned to such a degree that you cannot hear marginalised groups criticise mainstream Hinduism without spontaneously combusting.

Another fundraiser I trust!

He has a tumblr, and it seems he's very new to it and doesn't know how to use it properly so he ends up looking like a bot but dw he is legit. I had a long conversation with Mahmoud over DM's just to go over everything. It all checks out. Please consider donating to get his family out of Ghazzah! Additionally, his brother-in-law is special needs and cannot be taken care of in a tent!

remaking my last post bc our phone bill was paid ^~^

i (of course) still need help unfortunately. i have been able to enroll in an herbalism course, and classes start May 1, but i am lacking a lot of the equipment i will need for my coursework (as it was lost when i became homeless and had to move cross-country back in November). so, i am back again to ebeg for help. i have already tried looking into local buy nothing groups to try and source the supplies i need that way, but i also added a bunch of the equipment i need to my registry (which also includes things that would improve my wife and i's quality of life drastically), and would appreciate if folks could chip in monetarily (c, v, p) so i could buy the herbs and ingredients that id need to get from an irl store.

as a disabled person with no access to any sort of medical care due to a bunch of circumstances outside of my control, i am desperate for an opportunity to develop knowledge and skills that could go a long way towards helping me to be able to at least manage my symptoms on my own until i can regain access to insurance and medical care. i also am very interested in and passionate about herbs and plants, and am excited to be able to learn and incorporate herbalism into my spiritual practice. please please consider helping me out !!

It’s lesbian visibility week! Won’t you help out a struggling, sweet femme?

Consider helping me, a disabled, Mexican-indigenous, nonbinary lesbian! I am a full time worker, and i still do not make enough to cover my expenses as a disabled person who cannot drive and also just paying bills and surviving.

I have a goal this week of $200 to help get me by til next payday on Tuesday.

This would cover my groceries, my rides to work, and an upcoming bill.

Any and all help and sharing is so appreciated.

the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

Every morning, Indigenous men at the Waseskun Healing Centre north of Montreal gather for a healing circle, where they smudge, share stories and sometimes gain spiritual guidance from elders.

The centre is the equivalent of a minimum-security prison but here, the men are called residents, rather than inmates, prisoners or offenders. [...]

Waseskun is among 10 healing centres across the country that are funded by Correctional Service Canada and reserved for Indigenous offenders serving time in federal custody. The lodge, one of the oldest in Canada, sits amid the tall pines and rocky land of Saint-Alphonse-Rodriguez, 100 kilometres north of Montreal.

It is the only federally funded healing centre east of Manitoba and is one of six in the country that is Indigenous-run. Waseskun, which has been singled out by Public Safety Canada as a success story, serves only men and has 22 spots reserved for those who were sentenced to terms of more than two years. [...]

Zinger said there’s an urgent need for more and better-funded Indigenous-led healing centres to provide alternatives to conventional prisons. Almost three decades after the creation of the first healing lodge in Canada, there are only 139 beds across the six community-run healing lodges in Canada. Lodges run by the CSC provide another 250 beds. [...]

A word from Bisan to the students of the U.S. in their campus solidarity encampments.

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.
