Bail funds for kids who got arrested protesting for Palestine. Spread this shit like a wildfire. If you can’t donate that’s fine boost this so it can find people who can

The student protests for Palestine have been an amazing show of solidarity and support and seeing thr way that so many young people are willing to stand up for their values is admirable when so many others stay silent. But this is all to say that we are entering a pattern of glorifying these white “martyrs” from the global west to put all of this effort and resources and media coverage into instead of the actual cause they are fighting for.

I saw the same thing happen with Aaron Bushnell, when his self immolation was being talked about more than the actual genocide in Gaza (which went against everything he said he was self immolating for in the first place).

And again this happened with the prisoner from the US who worked 136 hours just to be able to donate his $17 check to Palestine aid efforts. In response to this, people wanted to help him and ended up raising over $100,000 in a gofundme for him. This feels almost satirical, as every gofundme to help Gazans evacuate Palestine and get to safety has a goal of less than $100,000 and most of them are not even close to reaching it.

And now, there are more and more posts on how to get aid to the college student encampments, and the “urgency” of getting enough bail funds for the students who have been arrested during them. Talking about Palestine itself and getting resources to Palestine has almost been put on the back burner in favour of making all Palestine related news about college students in the United States.

It think it is valuable to recognise the selflessness and importance of these protests, and getting these students resources but what is MORE important, and what these people are truly fighting for, and protesting, and make a statement about is PALESTINE. We have unsurprisingly reached the point where there are people who care much more about the white people fighting for the cause from the comfort of living in the global west than they care about the Palestinians undergoing a genocide in Gaza. It’s become almost blatant racism, the way people begin to drop everything the second a white/usamerican person does something in regards to helping Palestine, but will not put the same effort into a Palestinian IN Gaza who is telling their story or asking for help. I respect anyone who has done absolutely anything to help Palestine, but I hope people are starting to see the pattern of how the media gravitates towards the “white saviour/perfect martyr” instead of the first hand accounts coming from those in Gaza.

Anyway FIND A GOFUNDME AND DONATE TO HELP FAMILIES IN GAZA ESCAPE GENOCIDE

just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.

do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.

write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.

do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.

boycott ALL of eurovision.

"In a historic “first-of-its-kind” agreement the government of British Colombia has acknowledged the aboriginal ownership of 200 islands off the west coast of Canada.

The owners are the Haida nation, and rather than the Canadian government giving something to a First Nation, the agreement admits that the “Xhaaidlagha Gwaayaai” or the “islands at the end of world,” always belonged to them, a subtle yet powerful difference in the wording of First Nations negotiating.

BC Premier David Eby called the treaty “long overdue” and once signed, will clear the way for half a million hectares (1.3 million acres) of land to be managed by the Haida.

Postal service, shipping lanes, school and community services, private property rights, and local government jurisdiction, will all be unaffected by the agreement, which will essentially outline that the Haida decide what to do with the 200 or so islands and islets.

“We could be facing each other in a courtroom, we could have been fighting each other for years and years, but we chose a different path,” said Minister of Indigenous Relations of BC, Murray Rankin at the signing ceremony, who added that it took creativity and courage to “create a better world for our children.”

Indeed, making the agreement outside the courts of the formal treaty process reflects a vastly different way of negotiating than has been the norm for Canada.

“This agreement won’t only raise all boats here on Haida Gwaii – increase opportunity and prosperity for the Haida people and for the whole community and for the whole province – but it will also be an example and another way for nations – not just in British Columbia, but right across Canada – to have their title recognized,” said Eby.

In other words, by deciding this outside court, Eby and the province of BC hope to set a new standard for how such land title agreements are struck."

Dear Everyone,

Many of you know me as a passionate plant lover, but behind every leaf and bloom in my garden lies a story, and today, I share one that has deeply affected my life. I write this today with a heavy heart and a plea for support.

For nearly two years, my beloved mother has been courageously battling cancer. Her strength and resilience have been a guiding light for me, but the journey has been arduous, both emotionally and financially. We’ve stood by her side through countless treatments, holding onto hope with every step.

Friends, family and communities(Plant lovers/Gardners) has been there for us in the past few months. Money were donated in bulk by communities and in small sizes by individuals.

However, just last week, we received devastating news. The cancer has spread to a critical point, and doctors have advised immediate surgery to remove her cervix. This news has hit us hard, both emotionally and financially. The cost of the surgery is overwhelming, and we find ourselves at a loss, with nowhere to turn for assistance - having exhausting all options in the last 2years.

I’m reaching out to Anyone and Everyone for help. My mother’s love for gardening has always been a source of joy and solace for her, even in the darkest of times. It breaks my heart to think that she may not have the chance to tend to her garden again.

With your generous support, we can ensure that my mother receives the life-saving surgery she desperately needs. Your contributions will not only help cover the cost of the procedure but also provide much-needed relief during this challenging time. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in our fight against cancer.

I understand that times are tough for everyone, and I wouldn’t ask if it weren’t absolutely necessary. Please know that your kindness and generosity will not go unnoticed. Together, we can help keep my mother’s garden blooming and ensure that she has many more years to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Click below link to support.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, support, and compassion during this difficult time.
