wHY DOES THIS HAVE JUST 308 NOTES???? THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE SHARING THIS. CHINA IS LITERALLY COMMITTING THE HOLOCAUST, ONLY THIS TIME ON MUSLIMS AND Y’ALL ARE SILENT?

i have 495 people following me right now, including several mutuals. i better see y’all reblogging.

[metrotitans]

People might not be reblogging this because the first tweet makes unnecessary (and untrue) Holocaust comparisons. Taken from @nat_slay on Twitter (I don’t know the original source):

The “ways to help” info seems good afaik but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong there too.

[rainbowlack]

As a Jewish person, I appreciate those saying that this is not okay and that it is misinformation. No, 6 million Uyghur Muslims have not been murdered.

And, as a Jewish person, I know that 6 million very well could be murdered. This is not another Shoah, but it very well could become another. As a Jewish person, I feel we must say “never again.”

Never again.

“Never again” does not mean “this event was so uniquely horrible, it could never happen again.” It means “this event was horrible, but not unique. We have to make sure it never happens again.”

Never again.

The Uyghur death count isn’t 6 million, that is misinformation. But “never again” means we have to make sure it doesn’t become 6 million.

If you are not Jewish or Romani, do not draw comparisons to the Holocaust. All that provides is shock value and misinformation. What you can do is support Uyghur Muslims.

In case this is the first you’re hearing of this (like me, who is disappointed but not surprised), here are some links to news articles about it and a petition you can sign to ask the World Trade Organisation to make COVID-19 vaccines a common global good.

Here’s an article from Reuters. From the article:

World Trade Organization members on Thursday delayed a decision on a proposal to waive intellectual property rules for COVID-19 drugs and vaccines amid ongoing opposition from wealthy countries, a Geneva trade official said.

“Big Pharma” has rejected an idea proposed by India and South Africa that would grant compulsory licensing of the vaccines and drugs by overriding patent rules of WTO’s Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property (TRIPS) agreement, allowing generic or other manufactures to make the new products.

The proposal has won support from some countries at the WTO but is opposed by Western countries, including Britain, Switzerland and the United States, which have strong domestic pharmaceutical industries.

Non-governmental organisations have been pressuring rich governments to ease rules temporarily as they did during the AIDS epidemic, arguing that they create barriers to access to affordable medicines and vaccines for vulnerable people around the world. This week, the WTO received a petition signed by more than 900,000 people asking it to “ensure access to life-saving COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and equipment for everyone in the world.”

‘Thursday’ in the above article refers to 10th December 2020. From Bloomberg on 17th December:

Back at the WTO, delegates have agreed to keep discussions open and were due to submit a report to the WTO’s General Council meeting on Dec. 16, highlighting the “current lack of consensus” on the issue, according to a statement from the organization.

The WTO has still not decided on this. They will continue the discussion in early 2021 (WTO tweet and website). The global petition referred to in the article is still taking signatures.

Here’s the petition on Avaaz.org, currently at 922,600 signatures.

hi, i’ve done this b4 but deleted it out of fear so:

i’m a black non-binary artist in much need. i’m in a really bad living situation rn and i’m trying to survive and move out to make my life better. here’s my gofundme page:

it would mean the world to me if you could share this! thank you sm! 💕

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

what’s a good charity that provides housing to queer people escaping bad situations? i’d like a donation link please

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

actually can i specifically have a link to a charity that works to house trans & nonbinary people? an organization you can vouch for that doesn’t pull the bullshit “charities” like Salvation Army do?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

ok, 2 that stood out to me are:

My Sistah’s House

Trans Housing Coalition 

I have a real soft spot for My Sistah’s House because they are:

housing black trans women in the south, aka some of the most vulnerable members of our trans community

by building tiny homes, which is an innovate solution! these inexpensive houses provide safe and stable homes that the women who live in will have control over. 

this provides a permeant end to homelessness–these women will ultimately own their own homes, on top of having lifelong housing & an environment they get to change to meet their needs. 

and it’s founded and led by a black trans woman, Kayla Gore! I cannot overemphasize the important of trans-led initiatives to end trans housing insecurity. 

anyway, check them out! there’s a huge demand for their services, and they’re in the middle of a fundraiser to build 20 Tiny Homes For Trans Women by mid 2021!

this is brandon bernard.

in 1999, when he was 18, he was sentenced to death for the killing of two prime youth ministers. according to the u.s. sun, “bernard was convicted with four others over the killing of couple todd and stacie bagley in killen, texas, in 1999. he was only 18 years old at the time of the crime and did not have a leading role in it, attorneys say.” he was an accomplice and he did not murder anybody, and has been on death row for 21 years. let me clarify for you:

yes, he was a part of the crime, but he did not commit the murders themselves. he was merely an accomplice, and he didn’t kill anybody.

brandon has shown exemplary behavior while in prison. he has taken responsibility for his actions and has accepted that he will never be free from prison. five of the nine jurors who put him on death row now believe that death is a too extreme punishment and he should be free from death. these jurors do not believe he should be released from prison, but merely taken off of death row and able to live out the rest of his life in prison.

HE IS SET TO BE EXECUTED ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10TH. WHAT WE ARE ASKING IS FOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO TAKE HIM OFF OF DEATH ROW SO HE IS ABLE TO LIVE PEACEFULLY IN PRISON AND DIE PEACEFULLY, AND NOT BY FORCE. HE ONLY HAS LESS THAN 48 HOURS.

PLEASE GO TO THE WEBSITE BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION.

BRANDON'S CURRENT EXECUTION DATE: 12.10.20

🥾 new shoes needed 🥾

hi! im in need of some help. i work full time at a gas station, and i need nonslip shoes in order to do so safely. i have been wearing an old pair of vans with nonslip covers, but ive worn through both soles in the ~4 months of work. i would really like to order a pair of dedicated work shoes, and i need about $100 to do it. i support a household of three people (and a cat) and this expense keeps getting pushed to the side in order to pay for more pressing things. i have chronic lower back pain that worsens when im on my feet and i think better shoes would definitely help with that.

if you’re able to help, i would appreciate it immensely, but please only do so if you are in a stable situation!! i know things are hard right now for everyone.

Your daily reminder that Black Lives Still Fucking Matter. Casey Christian Goodson Jr. was mudered by police on December 4th and no one is talking about it. He was shot three times in the back entering his own home. The police are not going to get any better under Joe Biden, in fact, they will continue to get worse because there will be less media scrutiny. There is little to no media coverage of this story because of that very reason. We have to keep these stories in the public eye and continue to fight to defund the police just as hard in 2021.

Here’s a link to the full story from one of the few media sources reporting it.

It should not be that low. White middle class liberals don’t actually care about Black Lives Matter, which they are proving with their disinterest of all police shootings since Joe Biden was elected.

Saw a commercial that said “without the letters A B and O there’d be no you”

It was about blood types

As someone versed in fanfic tagging, that’s not the first thing I thought of

I WOULD PAY TEN TIMES AS MUCH FOR CHOCOLATE IF IT MEANT REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF SLAVES IN THE WORLD? HOW IS THIS ANY KIND OF PROBLEM. 

[kaijutegu]

good news, you can! the company’s called Tony’s Chocolonely and their entire purpose is to make slave-free chocolate and reform the chocolate industry.

https://tonyschocolonely.com/us/en

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony%27s_Chocolonely

Whole Foods carries it. If you don’t want to support an Amazon-owned company, World Market carries it. You can also buy it directly from the company. 

It’s the best chocolate I’ve ever had and it’s 100% slave free. Tony’s Chocolonely works really hard to push for transparency within the chocolate industry and actually has and is following an action plan to eliminate slavery within cocoa production. They’re good people who make good chocolate.
