Yemen is facing the worlds largest hunger crisis and the world is too quiet.

And it’s the children that pay the highest price. An estimated 85,000 children have lost their lives to extreme starvation alone. Every 10 minutes, a child under 5 dies of preventable causes in Yemen. When choosing what charities or goals you want to support during the last few days of Ramadan, I urge you to keep the children of Yemen in mind. And if you’re not celebrating Ramadan, or are not religious.. you’re still human.

These are a few of charities that I know of that you can donate to:

https://www.savethechildren.org.uk/how-you-can-help/emergencies/yemen-crisis?

https://www.muslimglobalrelief.org/yemen-appeal (100% donation policy)

https://oxfamapps.org.uk/yemen

https://www.dec.org.uk/appeal/yemen-crisis-appeal

http://sharethemeal.org

Remember, it’s the smallest donations that build up or even just rebloging/sharing would help. May Allah smile upon us all, and relieve the children of this world of their heartache.

The entire population of Yemen is expected to die by the end of this year.

If Yemen was 100 people:

80 need aid to survive

60 have nothing to eat

58 have no access to clean water

52 have no access to health care, however since Covid-19 their healthcare system has effectively collapsed

But Yemen is not 100 people

It’s 30.5 million humans

Guys this is a whole country that’s about to be EXTICT. Let’s not fail them

the last time a british police officer was convicted for a death in custody was 1969, even though 1700 people have died in police custody in the UK since 1990. not surprisingly, BAME people are far more likely to be stopped, arrested, jailed, and murdered by police in this country. here is a list of UK anti-racism orgs you can donate to, including the UK chapter of Black Lives Matter.

Okay but Stand Up to Racism is an SWP front - the Socialist Workers Party has a history of rape apologism and I would ask you not to support SUTR or other SWP fronts.

irresponsible adhd top tip #??? + 1

once, a guy in my dorms came back from a hazing for a sport that you wouldn't think is the kind to do hazing. he was bloodied, crying, throwing up, and he had to be carried by two older students.

the conceit of the hazing was― they got the freshers drunk, and told them all that the person who ran hardest at the wall would avoid the hazing.

staring at a task, willing yourself to do it, is like running at that wall as hard as you can. it is, by design, not going to work. you will get bodily fluids on your sheep onesie.

you have a mind that lends itself perfectly to switching between tasks. let it wander. let it return in time, fresh and ready. if you keep running at that wall, you will get nothing in return but guilt and a headache.

irresponsible adhd top tip #??? + 2

with adhd, the easiest way to make a goal feel impossible is telling yourself you will do x thing every day from now on no matter what.

good news: this also works for obsessive habits you want to break. nothing makes you want to procrastinate on using social media more than giving yourself a specific goal about how to use it.

you could tell yourself to post 10 times or like thirty posts or use x feature every day or something. maube set a timer, and force yourself to not leave the app until 20 minutes have passed. you will be desperate to do anything else after that.

the negative brain patterns you have programmed into the 'i must do this' categories in your life can be hacked into the things you want to stop doing. you have that power. you've learned the techniques already, now you can apply them to the things you want to use them on

sleep clothes aren't mandatory and getting changed in the morning can delay the day by hours. before you go to bed, just change into the clothes you would usually spend the day in. you can always change again once you're up and about and it feels less herculean a task.

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

irresponsible adhd tip #??? +4

you want to do a thing? you need to do a thing? reverse psychology yourself:

do it for exactly thirty seconds and then force yourself to walk away.

your brain won't like that very much.

I’ve been very quiet these last few days – as a white British person, it seemed more important to keep quiet, listen and put the work in offline to make sure I’m part of the solution and not part of the problem, than to performatively demonstrate that I care. (If I had an audience, it would be different, but let’s be honest – I don’t.) There are a great many petitions and donation links circulating at the moment – if your Tumblr dash and Twitter feed look anything like mine, you’ve seen them twenty times already today, and these are proof that there’s a lot we can all do from behind our computer screens.

However, most of these links are, understandably, US-focused, so for those of us in the UK it can be difficult to know the best way to help. One thing many of us might not have been aware of is the fact that the UK sells tear gas and rubber bullets to the US. There has rightfully been a lot of discussion about how the UK is far from innocent when it comes to racism and police brutality, but our goverment’s direct role in supporting and exacerbating the violence currently occurring in the US is often overlooked.

Like many people, I was ignorant of the danger posed by rubber bullets – the name is disingenuous for something that can be profoundly disabling if not fatal. A photojournalist lost her left eye a few days ago and is now partially blind (she’s already working again and being extremely badass about the whole thing). Tear gas is evil at the best of times, but during a pandemic that affects the respiratory system, it is unfathomable. To continue to sell these weapons to the US makes our country complicit in the lives lost and injury caused.

There’s been a call for these sales to be suspended (see article linked above), which would send a clear message that the UK does not condone this brutality. It’s only a drop in the ocean when it comes to putting a stop to the harm caused by the UK arms trade more generally, but it’s a drop that would help.

So please, if you’re in the UK, write to your MP in support of suspending these sales. While you’re there, ask them to condemn Trump’s response, and demand that the government release the delayed report about BAME Covid-19 deaths. It’s easy to feel helpless adding your name to dozens of change.org petitions, but there are concrete issues you can approach your elected representatives about, and these are some of them. None of us can fix the world, but we can help.

You can write to your MP very easily using WriteToThem.com. You don’t need to be registered to vote, you just need to live in their constituency. If you have a home and term-time address (e.g. you’re a university student), you have two MPs. You don’t need to know their name, because WriteToThem will find them for you. You don’t need to send a long, thought-out email (although that’s great!), you just need to make it clear to them that this is an issue their constituents care about.

The world is awful right now.  Let’s do what we can to make it a tiny bit less awful. <3

A rough script to send to your MP:

Dear [MP’s NAME],

In light of the George Floyd protests across US, I am writing to ask you to support the call for the UK to suspend export of tear gas, rubber bullets and riot shields to the US amid excessive use of force by the police force.

British law says such exports should not go ahead where they are likely to be used for “internal repression”. The police response has seen security forces ramming crowds with cars, deploying gas and baton rounds against peaceful demonstrators, and arresting and shooting at domestic and international journalists covering events. These actions must be condemned.

Yours sincerely,

[YOUR NAME]

[itsagifnotagif]

I have done this for my local MP. However, if you are doing this PLEASE change up the wording for the email as they have a spam detector and will auto delete emails that are copy and pasted word for word.

A few small tweaks can help put more pressure on your local representative to take action.

[jackandniall-deactivated2021100]

here’s the link to donate to george floyd’s official memorial fund if you are able to contribute. if you can’t donate, please share. being black shouldn’t be a death sentence.

A joke I made a while back

Disclaimer: I don't care if you hc DM as straight or not. Your life. I'm not your mum. I'll respect your opinion, Just don't be an asshole if people have different headcanons to you. Most of us lgbt+ people (or, well, me) do it as projection or not enough rep in the media, not a 'fantasy' (which sounds fujoshi-ish) or a personal attack on you

Another disclaimer: if you think it is out of character, explain to me why, not that you'll persuade me, I could just do with a laugh today.

Urgent news from Wuhan

hi guys ik im never on here but pls if u possibly can watch this video from a local wuhan person talking abt the current situation in the city + China as a whole. it’s 10 mins long and in mandarin but there are English subtitles so pls I’m begging all of u to watch it and rb this post. https://youtu.be/wEkIdGht-S8

if u can’t watch the video then I also have a translated transcript that people can read linked here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CKdVKp9Am9zRxLlqj2PyP8N0vlT_eQ_m6FIMwC7LsiU/edit?usp=sharing

wuhan insider video translation

Hello everyone. I hope everyone who can see this video will appreciate it because it’s so difficult to post anything online. In mainland chi

[glittors]

"We have no choice, we have no power to do anything, we don’t have the ability. Our bodies are flesh and blood, we can’t beat steel, bullets and tanks. I hope everyone who can see this video, all of the overseas Chinese people, help us. We don’t need you to spend money, you don’t need to do anything, just click this video and help increase exposure. I’m not relying on this to earn money to eat, I just want to increase public pressure so the Chinese government can understand that they can’t hide from responsibility .... We all dream of having democracy, freedom, openness. We want to be able to go on twitter, youtube without jumping the wall [using VPN], but the problem is that we can’t. What can we do? High housing prices, high cost of living, inflation, any problem in the government they cut from the normal people, everyone can only watch them do it. Look at my friends, my schoolmates, everyone who has the money or the ability to immigrate left fucking ages ago. No one is stupid, we just don’t have any choice. I’m begging you all to help, the Wuhan people need the attention and pressure of the world. We’re helpless. Just that one word: helpless."
