I’ve been getting a lot of asks and tags about how to support Palestine and Palestinians during this so here’s ways allies can support us (other Palestinians are welcome to add on): 

Spread Awareness: 

Taking a moment out of your day to spread awareness of the oppression Palestinians face is crucial to supporting our cause. You don’t need to be an expert on Israeli settler colonialism to speak out. Israel relies on media ignorance to enact most of it’s bombings and settler violence against Palestinians, silence equals Israeli violence - reblogging, retweeting and posting in Palestine hashtags (#freePalestine, #savesilwan, #savenaqab, #savesheikhjarrah etc) helps, please do not underestimate how much just interacting with our posts and sharing information helps us. 

Support BDS: 

BDS is a Palestinian-led movement to apply global pressure to Israel to comply with international law, part of the reason Israel maintains a regime of settler colonialism, apartheid, and military occupation over Palestinians is because of international support - so BDS calls for non violent boycotts, divestment, and sanctions on corporations and brands that are complicit with Israel’s oppression - this includes brands such as AXA, HP, Puma, Sodastream, Ahava cosmetics, Sabra, and Pillsbury. If you want to know more about BDS and other ways to support please check out their website here: x

Donate (if you can): 

Al-Shabaka 

Electronic Intifada 

Adalah Justice Project

IMEU 

Medical Aid for Palestinians 

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Addameer 

Muslim Aid 

Palestine Red Crescent 

Decolonize Palestine: 

Decolonize Palestine is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to know more about Palestine, Palestinians, myths and deconstructing over 70 years of Israeli propaganda. It goes into detail of Israeli propaganda methods including pinkwashing, bluewashing, greenwashing etc and includes reading sources and frequently asked questions about Palestine from Palestinian voices, please check it out if you haven’t: x

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

[funkylilpunk]

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

the dutch bike helmet discourse is still so funny. scores of indignant dutch people going on about how they dont need to wear helmets because everybody is used to bike based stuff and knows how to handle themselves, periodically interjected by people who work in emergency rooms in the netherlands talking about how many cases of bike fall related head trauma they see regularly.

[trans-asajjventress]

dutch person: unlike you stupid americans, we have ample bike infrastructure and everybody knows how to navigate bike lanes

dutch ER worker: half of the people i treat are in the ER because they cracked their head on the pavement. my job would be easier if our country wore helmets.

hitting return early on libby when there's people waiting and feeling like a benevolent queen distributing alms to the poor

[boobieteriat]

Tips to borrow and return books on Libby within the same day:

> borrow

> click read with epub

>download the acsm file

>de-drm the acsm file with calibre (make sure you have the acsm plugin installed first)

> you own the ebook FOREVER

[nyantara]

> upload the file to libgen

> EVERYONE GETS THE BOOK FOREVER

[jennaflare]

Reblogging this again with links & instructions for everything you need for this:

Calibre

Calibre ACSM plugin

Calibre NoDRM plugin

Download all of the above, run calibre, go to "preferences" and scroll down to plugins

Select "load plugin from file" (you will need to extract the NoDRM zip but not the ACSM) and load the zips

For DeACSM you'll need to log in using Adobe (you can use a free account for this). To log in, find DeACSM under "File types" in the plugins window and double click on it and log in with your Adobe credentials

Restart calibre

Drag your ebooks from libby into calibre. Should convert them into Epubs without DRM automatically! Try opening the file to make sure it's all worked :)

Okay but correct me if I'm wrong, doesn't checking out books digitally still contribute to a Library's turn over, and therefore help justify their budget to the county/state/whathaveyou?

Are we really stealing from the only reliable free source of information left now???

[aethersquid]

Nothing is being stolen — in fact, you're monopolizing resources far less than you would be if you read it normally. Copying the file does not remove it from the library any more than taking a photo of a physical book does.

[boobieteriat]

Also, if the country and state want to defund libraries, they don't care about the usage statistics, they'd do it regardless.

Look, when libraries subscribe to OverDrive, they're paying for the right to lend out books to us. They don’t actually own the books, they’re subrenting them. The deals between publishers and OverDrive are already finalized. The publishers already got paid. So stop defending this book landlord.

[zitongzi]

also like you figure borrowing a book and then quickly returning it would allow more people to return it in a shot period of time which would pad the numbers and make the library seem like its being used more

I started listening to the cree radio station because its the only one left in my range that doesnt play alberta separatist ads now and those make me see red like some sort of bull, which is not safe while im behind the wheel of a vehicle going 110

Why haven't they told me about the cree all-purpose radio station sooner. They play everything from the 50s to today. Half of their ads and one of their shows is in cree which I do not speak a lick of but thats fine, they play banger music. They give me local news updates that arent dripping with UCP cocksucking. They tell me about things that affect a demographic I otherwise hear very little about by virtue of being a white guy in alberta.

We are holding hands. We are learning about other cultures. We are listening to 60s rock and roll and then an elder will tell us stories about his youth. I am enamored. I am in love.

[ceasarslegion]

Lots of people in the notes have asked me to drop the radio station im talking about here. If youre in the Edmonton area the frequency is 89.3, and when we went on a trip recently we got pretty reliable signal all the way to Ponoka. If youre outside of it or international you can get the live broadcast at ravenradio.ca

They also have a retro hour at noon every day and do language lessons for allies

No, I would not steal a car. However, if I had the ability to create a copy of someone's car that I could have for free while the other person retained their original car, I would definitely do that.

this women's history month, this site should acknowledge that women exist! everyone should divest from "Im just a girl" "pink job/blue job" jokes. no more girl math! no girl boss feminism! read the combahee river collective's statement. if a post asks you who your favorite woman is, whether real or fictional, don't talk about a man and say "he's like a woman to me. he's a mother, a wife." shush! hush up!! instead, give a trans woman money this month. give a Black woman money. stop policing lesbian sexuality. leave bi women alone if you're not gonna support them. understand that the patriarchy needs to be dismantled in its entirety, without exception. gender roles are wholly unnecessary to have smooth-running, functioning, fair society.
