Can people understand that’s i’m like them I don’t get donations and not the one who make people donate…

Sometimes I feel I’m going crazy because of what’s happening and overthinking stressing about my brother and my responsibilities

Every time i say i want to stop sharing and helping i go back and a lot of scammers even people of gaza some of them are scamming and do more than one campaign.

I’m sorry for anyone I didn’t respond to and shared i have been doing that for one year

I’m not good at speaking and speak out how i feel and what i think.

Tumblr is a family for me .. I still need your help for my brother because isarel weaponized hunger against the people of gaza you need fortune to buy some food like canned food if you found it and there’s no flour.

so net-mending season (may/june) in alaska is the worst part of the year imo because all we do all day every day is look for tiny holes in ENORMOUS nets to make sure the little tiny fish can't escape.

all day, every day, smelly nets, staring at them, never ending. it's already enough to drive a person to madness, but one of my coworkers used to EXCLUSIVELY play nightcore & rave bop bruno mars remixes when it was his day on the aux. starting at 7:30 am. and on those days i swear i had out of body experiences.

i've told people about it before but i didn't know i had any examples of it until just now my phone showed me a "on this day four years ago" memory.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has ruled that the Czech Republic violated the rights of trans people by forcing them to be sterilised. Requiring transgender men and women to undergo sterilisation procedures in order to gain legal recognition of their gender identity meant the central-European country had breached international law, the court decided on Thursday (12 June).

A little obsessed with the "utterly burnt out & can't quite figure out how to make it work in this economy" depiction of Mario in the concept art.

Look at him. He's so tired.

observation: among a certain subset of tumblr users, the term “blorbo” has become unchic, but the concept it describes is still important; and so it has been replaced with “The Character”

It’s interesting how diseases rip through schools at incredible speeds despite being in an arguably modern, clean(ish) environment. I wonder if it has something to do with the whole “you need a doctor’s note to excuse your absence of even one day” combined with the average price of going to a doctor, the lack of education on things like “you’re still contagious even after the fever goes away”, and the overwhelming message of “if you don’t struggle through it, you’re a failure!”

This means, of course, I would basically be choosing to rely on whatever version of the events that one source gives me, but I refer again to my contempt with how every news source is biased and thus why it's frustrating that I can't just subscribe to something without worrying about who or what I'm supporting. I don't solely rely on tumblr as a news source, but that is one reason I still use this app because I trust average people who care about marginalized communities to give more nuanced accounts of things that are going on. I get the gist of what's going on from here and then go look into it independently.

But it's hard to independently sort through a lot of today's bullshit news sites cause there is so much slop, and the only free ones are the most biased in the exact opposite direction of my opinions.

I think the other part of the problem is that I work from home and don't have friends I can see regularly, so hearing about current events from random people on the internet is kinda all I have right now.

I wish I could have the equivalent of a daily newspaper delivered to my door so I can catch up on recent events, but every popular free news source is so biased, and every decent source costs money, and every app or website is designed with infinite scrolling and engagement in mind. I just want a single, defined day's worth of news, with a definitive end, even if it is not exhaustive of everything that I could possibly know about. But also I want it delivered to me physically, I wasn't being metaphorical about that part, I would settle for an app but something that I could hold and examine in its entirety all at once would be nice.

Obviously not expecting a (white) American site to gaf about today so lemme talk a bit more about Windrush Day and the Black British experience:

I feel like the Black British experience is constantly one of work and struggle. Our parents and grandparents lived through colonial and post colonial (using the term lightly) rule just to end up working and serving the imperial core, targeted by the same government that invited them here. A lot of the time its phrased as a choice but in reality what else could they have done? Ts and Cs apply bc for some West African Brits their parents were middle class back home but for me and others our families grew up in poverty in places still recovering from slavery and colonialism.

Britain whitewashes the history of Black immigrants, literally in the sense we're not taught our own history of Black people in Britain and metaphorically by applying British individualist myths; that as long as you work hard, don't complain about it and love Britain you can be British too. But it erases, ignores and distorts the truth that the British state used our community as nothing more than a labour force to rebuild after WWII and actively targeted Black British communities with police surveillance, brutality and systemic racism. All whilst denying it of course and turning their nose up at the very accusation. Very British.

Black British contributions, West African and West Indian to be more specific don't just apply in terms of work but in terms of shaping culture. 'Roadman' has become a meme and a caricature (including by some Americans on here ik u lot love 'chav') with barely any connection to its Black British roots, even when the term gets used as an insult to mainly Black working class men or used as a British version of 'thug'. The grime scene is undeniably a staple of Black Britain yet it is pathologised and judged, moral panics about Black people's violence and yet capitalised and profitted off of by non Black Brits as an aesthetic. Everybody wants the tracksuits, the tunes and the terminology innit. To be 'road' means to be Black British yet when its time to talk culture, nobody wants to credit it us. All of a sudden its 'London culture'.

But it isn't all doom and gloom. There's so much history and culture here in our spaces. I'd be lying if I said growing up where I did was easy. But it has shaped my outlook and made me and I'll carry that with me forever. Our grandparents and parents came here with so little and made so much out of nothing. And I'll always honour that. Justice for the Windrush generation.
