“Why should a French or a German citizen be born with access to world-class services and well-protected rights (actual implementation on the basis of minority status may differ), while a Somalian citizen is not only denied those things, but also faces huge obstacles in becoming a citizen (or even a resident) of anywhere else? If you are born a citizen of Japan, there are 190 countries you can travel to freely without a visa; if you are a citizen of Afghanistan, there are only 25. If you are born a U.K. citizen, and feel like a change of scene, you can pay $7 for permission to go to Canada, hop on a flight, and stay for up to six months without anyone bothering you. If you are born in a refugee camp, it can take years before you even get a chance to live in a place like Canada. So how can we possibly consider ourselves to be people who care about freedom and autonomy, when thanks to borders our destinies are practically assigned to us at birth? Is it absurd to form your own state? Or is it more absurd to have states in the first place?”

DON’T SKIP, PLEASE I BEG YOU.

Please, I beg you — don’t scroll past this.

My baby boy, Qais, is only two years old, and famine is slowly killing him. His little body is shrinking day by day, his ribs showing through his thin skin, and every moment feels like a race against death. I am pleading with you — donate, share, speak out. Your help could be the reason my child survives.

The famine in Gaza is not a natural disaster; it is man-made, created by unbearable conditions:

1- A suffocating blockade: that prevents food, clean water, and medicine from reaching us.

2- Destroyed farmlands and contaminated water: due to relentless bombings, leaving us with nothing to eat or drink.

3- A collapsed health system, where starving children receive no medical care, making even minor illnesses deadly.

I am a desperate mother begging you - please don’t let Qais become another silent victim. His life is hanging by a thread, and every second matters. Share his story, speak for him, help us get food and medicine. Even the smallest act of kindness could save his life. Please… don’t let my little boy die like this.

PLEASE DONATE HERE

If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?

DONATE HERE PLEASE

DON'T SKIP, I BEG YOU ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child😔😭

hi!!!!! i’m an actual librarian who has encountered this very situation before!!!!! and while i commend & admire op’s willingness to help another patron, this is why you really really should have a library worker, not another patron whom you don’t know, assist you with tech & information related issues in the library!!! because we are trained in how to handle this exact sort of thing

tl;dr: use proton mail. i’m not gonna gatekeep this info. it does not require a cell phone number, so it’s my go to for patrons in this situation!!! while i am acutely aware of the harm done by the digital divide & how many people are getting left behind as our world gets increasingly tech dependent, the situation is not hopeless. there ARE provisions in place to help the people most affected, and those provisions are usually wearing glasses & cardigans & sitting behind the circulation desk

librarians are not glorified bookworms!!!! we are information professionals who are highly trained in how to handle these sorts of seemingly impossible binds!!!! ask us for help!!!!!! as i always tell my patrons, that’s what i get paid the big bucks for

if you wiped every ICE agent off the face of the earth, a hundred million people would become safer overnight. if you wiped every furry off the face of the earth, the entire internet would collapse for good in a matter of hours. i know where my allegiances lie.

August 20, 2024 - If you want to help out the activists who have been physically interrupting the flow of weapons to the fascist Israeli state by attacking and occupying arms factories and businesses linked to them, you can donate to Palestine Action's Legal Defence Fund here: https://palestineaction.org/defence-fund/

[kropotkindersurprise]

If you'd rather donate to Palestinians, you could donate to one of the following groups who are directly helping out the people in Gaza: UNRWA - United Nations org providing food, medicine and shelter to refugees in Palestine Gaza Municipality - Struggling to keep Gaza livable during this genocide by trying to restore access to water and keep waste management and sewage systems working eSims for Gaza - Provide internet access to Gazans so they can keep contact with eachother and the outside world

If you've got some extra cash, nothing's stopping you from donating to all of them, of course :3

[kropotkindersurprise]

Saw this post was going around again without the second part. Please keep donating to organisations that help Palestinians directly.

Some more good options: UNICEF Gaza appeal Palestine Children's Relief Fund Palestinian Red Crescent

[kropotkindersurprise]

Palestine still needs our help!

Here's some smaller initiatives that you can donate to for those who like that sorta thing, but remember that larger orgs can usually do more with the same amount of money! (which is why I dont reblog personal fundraisers)

Dahnoun Mutual Aid

Hot meals 4 Starved Palestinian Kids in north Gaza

Gaza Emergency Water Relief

Support the Palestinian Communist Party and their Youth Union in providing relief for the people of Gaza

every day british actors wake up and think to themselves fuckkkkk i HAVE to help the incredibly bigoted woman make more money so she can funnel it into killing trans people i have to do it bro if i don't do it i will die

[existennialmemes]

I'm child free which means I believe:

Parental leave should be a minimum of five years and should include all of the people who will be active parents in the child's life.

Child care costs should be subsidized by the government. No one should feel compelled to raise a child with an unfit parent just because they couldn't afford to do it alone.

There should be designated child free places, but the majority of public spaces, stores, restaurants, etc. should be accommodating for children, yes infants too.

Public breastfeeding should be totally destigmatized and considered normal

Education practices should be evidence based and never punitive

Schools should all have equitable funding. A student's address should not dictate the quality of their education.

I don't want to raise kids, but everyone benefits from a society that is designed to support kids.
