american leftists seem extremely focused on anti imperialism (good) but rarely- if at all- discuss decolonization in their own fucking country, despite acknowledging that it is a settler colonial state.

It’s always someone from some random European country that nobody knows about or even gives a fuck about that says the most racist shit. Like yeah I’d be pissed off too if I was from some fictional country like Croatia or Slovenia.

Please don’t ignore this plea.

An innocent child is paying the price for a war she didn’t choose.

Only four years old—she survived a serious injury, underwent surgery, and had metal implants placed in her body. But the suffering hasn’t ended.

There’s no medicine, no food—and when it’s available, it’s unbearably expensive.

We need your support to continue treatment and provide the bare minimum to survive.

Every share, every word of support, every donation—could save a life.

Please help us. Don’t leave us alone.

NYC must learn the lessons of other states targeted by the US and go full steam ahead on developing their fledgling nuclear enrichment program in order to maintain their sovereignty

Please donate whatever you can. We are in dire need of your donation, no matter how valuable, to buy food. We are in a severe famine. Guys, please do not neglect us.

If you’re a trans girl if you are a girl if you want to be a girl you have to live. You can be a girl. You just have to stay alive, please.

while megacorporations profit off of exploitation of queer people and using pride flags for their tshirts and mugs, the creator of the lesbian flag, emily gwen, cant afford basic necessities and has to rely off of donations

if you have something to spare or can share, please do so

[thecitadelguardian]

I know you see a lot of pain on these platforms, but please give me just a moment. We’re living under a brutal siege, and hunger is eating away at our bodies. We can’t take it anymore. The exhaustion is beyond words.

I’ve written and shared our suffering many times. Some of you have supported us and offered help—others have responded with hate and cruelty. But I keep writing, because hope is still alive.

Please, if there’s anything you can do—donate, share, or even just repost—do it. We’re not asking for much. Just what keeps a human being alive.

All I want is a simple life: clean water, electricity, food, and safety. To sleep without the fear of bombs. To live like any other human being.

Your donation today could mean a meal, medicine, or a way to survive. We’re desperately waiting for the crossing to open, hoping it’ll be our way out of this nightmare.

If you’re still reading this—thank you, truly. Please follow me, share this post, and donate if you can.

Thank you for your time, and thank you to every heart that still feels with us.

Bashkir Women Reflect On Modernity And Tradition

The Bashkirs are traditionally the second largest Muslim population in European Russia outside of the Caucasus Mountains; native to the Volga-Ural region. This project by Sergey Poteryaev, reflects on the conflicts some modern Bashkir women feel between the contemporary world and traditional expectations of Bashkir society.

1.

Fatima 25 years old, development director at a company "A Bashkir girl is first of all characterized by sincerity and openness. I try to be like that myself, therefore all my emotions are immediately visible on my face. I love modern Bashkir jewelry and this is an example of how traditions can be trendy."

2.

Aisylu: 29 years old, staff member at the Directorate of Cultural Programs "Although it is trivial, the first word that comes up to my mind is "beginning." In my opinion, in modern life it is very important to understand your roots in order to be strong."

3.

Regina: 26 years old, museum tour guide "Times are changing, and so are we. But important things remain. I may not work in general, but I cannot sit still."

4.

Uraliya: 13 years old, schoolgirl "I think that it is difficult to live with traditional values in the modern world. Nowadays, life is easier and that has certain consequences. Yet, I would like to have a big family and not to forget about my career."

5.

Shaura: 40 years old, musician "I always felt the responsibility of being a Bashkir for my parents and grandparents. It's not pressure, rather something internal. And nowadays, I think we all should be able to be an engine for the family."

6.

Salima: 29 years old, artist at a television station "I am the daughter of my nation, not just my father and mother. I am constantly in search of information about the history of my ancestors. For a Bashkir girl, there is no big difference between the traditional and modern way of life. I like the traditional way and I feel comfortable in it. For example when my husband is hungry, I cannot let him eat a simple sandwich. And I had a dowry."

7.

Lyaisan: 31 years old, journalist "It's cool to be Bashkir. Even though we are different, there's a belligerence in our blood. Previously, when men went to war, women would take over all their responsibilities. However, is that equality?"

8.

Regina: 29 years old, art historian "I think that the goal for a Bashkir girl is to be worthy of her nation and its history. It's important, while possessing gadgets, to build traditions into modern realities. I have made the breastplate necklace myself, and I plan to use ethnic patterns in my wardrobe further on."

9.

Zalina 23 years old, student "A Bashkir woman is first and foremost the keeper of the hearth, and if everything is as it should be, the family will be fine. I always want to go somewhere. I am linked with my people this way. We love freedom."

10.

Rozaliya: 30 years old, specialist at a community center "Previously the role of a woman was in the background, but in reality everything was vice versa. I don't want to be a shadow of my husband, I want to keep the balance. I want to develop my own children even more and to teach them freedom."

11.

Jamiliya: 29 years old, ecologist "Being a woman means knowing where you came from, and where you're going. I adjust to circumstances and do not complain."

i still haven’t had any other interviews or calls back about jobs i’ve applied for and im disqualified for unemployment (plus i got a letter in the mail from them saying i must pay them back $10,000! they are insane). i dread doing this especially considering this website has a dwindling userbase, everybody is cf on here, and we passing back the same $20-$30 to each other. its a long shot to get out of debt and back on my feet, but i have to try and utilize the platforms available to me.

i anticipate not being able to pay my rent even if i do get hired this month because my first check would take weeks for me to get it after onboarding, so i will be needing help with my rent & bills for June.

im writing this post actually on the way to a job interview for a position that would pay me enough to sustain myself if im chosen for it, so please share this, don*te, & wish me luck!
