we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback
i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary
US government officials will sit in front of a camera and talk about how they collapsed another country's economy through "pure economic statecraft. no shots fired" like you're supposed to pat them on the back and ignore that they plunged millions of people into poverty. the captains of empire truly are ghouls
Are you bored with the posts asking for help from Gaza? You're right, but imagine our situation as we live this war day after day for two years.
Asking for help isn't easy; it's extremely embarrassing, especially for a family that used to live a decent life and were self-sufficient. Asking for help isn't easy. But the situation is very difficult, and we urgently need donations to save my children's lives. They are my whole life.
Do you think we're tired, too?!!
Our hope for survival comes from the generosity of your hearts. Your donations are the lifeline that keeps my family strong and our only source of income. Every contribution brings us closer to providing food and medicine for my family. Please, don't leave us alone; your kindness is the light that dispels this darkness.
News. We live in a tent, my children are shivering with hunger, and all I can do is pray.
Please, don't just watch or participate. Even a small donation could be a lifeline for a hungry or sick child suffering.
Don't turn a blind eye to our suffering. We are appealing to your humanity.
My campaign is very weak; I will only receive a few donations.
Thanks to your generous donations, we were able to purchase some of the basic necessities we cannot do without, despite their high cost. Many thanks to everyone who contributed to feeding my children, even with a piece of bread. Your generosity gives us hope in the face of these unspeakably catastrophic circumstances.
Dear friends
I know you are sharing my story out of love and humanity, and I am truly grateful for that.
The painful truth is that sharing alone does not feed the hungry or provide medicine for the sick.
A bag of flour costs $300.
I have started this campaign for Yussef, his previous campaign on another platform was closed. Leaving him with no route to fundraise.
blaming specifically gender and sexual minorities for homonationalism is as homophobic as blaming specifically women for imperialist "but women in Afghanistan-" propaganda would be misogynistic. both are uttered for the benefit of *everyone* in the imperial core
to the point, almost every time i've been told "you'd be killed in Gaza" it was a cis straight person saying it. not because Gays are immune to this propaganda but because there's simply more straight people around. but the key point is that obviously, obviously, it was never about gay rights. like come on.
also let's be clear, it is in the best interest of the imperial core that nations in the periphery are as homophobic and misogynistic as possible, because the propaganda will be more effective if there is a grain of truth in it. in that sense, there is indeed a causal relationship between at least some places in the periphery's homophobia and homonationalism. however, this can be true without implying there's no alternative and their hands are simply tied on this. it's very complex and depends on the individual state we're talking about but idk cuba is right there.
Please, stop whatever you're doing right now. Stop playing games, watching movies, following matches, or listening to music... Leave everything else for just one minute, and sit with yourself and ask yourself honestly: Did we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this way? Do you think this is fair?
Are you happy that the war is over? It's as if you're happy that a tragic incident ended, while the bodies are still there, the wounded are untreated, and the destruction remains untouched.
This is us now. We've been left like a crime scene after everyone has left, with the wounds open and the devastation untouched. We're still here, trying to survive. If your answer is "no," if you still see us as human beings, then do something.
Hello everyone. We are living here in miserable and difficult days. No home, no job, no salary. I also have four children and I have no solution other than your appeal. Maybe one day we can leave and travel to a good country and start a new life. Please help us.
Just saw an interview with an MN healthcare worker that ICE agents are taking detainees who are badly injured (one had a fractured skull) and leaving them without clothes in the woods to die
there is a list circulating locally of the various parks throughout the metro area where severely injured abductees have been unceremoniously dumped with no warm clothing in subzero temperatures.
they're also claiming that one abductee currently in the ICU "deliberately ran head-first into a brick wall." this, after one agent told a healthcare worker that the abductee "got his shit rocked."
Really starting to believe that the "Everyone is 12 now" thing is just a way for people who really want to say the r-slur to call other people mongoloids without the moral pushback that would entail.
Again, it's telling that eugenicists coined the term "moron" to mean an adult with a mental age of 8-12. Saying that every adult you want to criticize and look down on has the mental maturity of a 12 year old isn't the sick burn you think it is. It's literally just fascist bullshit.
ngl there is racist connotations in the way people label ICE as “masked thugs” or “gang members”. by doing this you’re disassociating ICE from state institutions & associating them with racialized terms of criminality in order to reinforce the idea that they’re dangerous. in reality they’re just cops & this is just cop shit.
