[riding-with-the-wild-hunt]

if you have a moment, please consider giving some attention to my friend Nader ( @nader202-3 )'s campaign. besides himself, he is providing for his wife, Sally ( @sally2033 ), and their three young children, Laila, Nour, and Ahmed, as well as his parents and siblings. Nader's father was injured in the airstrike that destroyed the family's home; due to the lack of available medical care, he continues to struggle with long-term complications. this bombing also killed several of the Gibril family's relatives, including Nader's aunt, uncle, and cousin with his whole family.

now, their situation has gotten even more dire. earlier this month, Nader attempted to get food for the family at one of the israeli/US-run GHF aid distribution sites. as you've likely heard, these facilities have been used as cover to deliberately kill and injure people who come seeking desperately needed food. over 240 humanitarian organizations have called for the GHF to cease operations, and according to the UN, over 1,000 people have been killed while seeking aid. thankfully, Nader was not among them—but he was shot in the back and is now recovering from this serious injury without the benefits of easily accessible medicines, nutritious food, or even a safe and quiet place to rest.

Nader and Sally's children are all under ten years old. they are acutely vulnerable to starvation and the long-term consequences of malnutrition. if the Gibril family's campaign doesn't raise sufficient funds to buy food (which can be over $200 USD per day), Sally or one of the other adults in the family will have to risk their life seeking aid from the GHF. this is not tenable. they should not have to choose between being shot and watching their beloved children fade away from starvation.

your donations and engagement with Nader and Sally's campaign mean that Nader can recover without having to worry for his family, that Sally won't have to risk death or injury to feed their children, and that Laila, Nour, and Ahmed can survive and stay healthy. even just sharing their posts, following one or both of their blogs, or dropping a kind word is a reminder that they are not facing this terrible situation alone. whatever you can do to help is valuable.

Please help John and Ciara in South Sudan!

Hello! I was asked by @transjohnnnny to set up a fundraiser to help them raise money to improve the conditions they're currently facing. John and Ciara live with 38 other LBGTQIA refugees and have been facing discrimination, threats of transphobic and homophobic violence; along with worsening conditions thanks to a lack of shelter, clean water and food. Please donate what you can and if you're not able too reblog! They desperately need the help, any money given to this campaign will be used to buy food, tents and other supplies. Again if you're not able to donate please reblog and share!

I want to share a resource called the "PEARLY" method created by street medics (i believe first by an Atlanta street medic crew and added onto by a Boston collective? will update if I can find the printed resource) for how to make sure that you and a protest buddy are prepared to meet each other's needs before you even arrive at a protest. These would be topics that you would discuss beforehand to make sure that you are compatible protest buddies for whatever the action is.

P: Physical Needs

What physical needs does each person have?

Any medical devices? Medications? Mobility aids? Pain? Asthma?

What speed can we comfortably move at? Are we able to run/roll quickly if the crowd starts running? (Always defer to slowest member of group)

How do we feel about physical touch? Are we okay grabbing each others hands? Do we want to ask for consent each time?

E: Emotional Needs

How comfortable are we feeling about the action? What concerns do we have?

What's our baseline emotional state today? Are there triggers that might come up? Are we manic/ on our upswing, are we low energy, are we grieving?

What kind of self and community care might we need today?

A: Arrestability

Any special legal concerns? (Probation, prior charges, citizenship status, being under 18, etc)

Any outstanding obligations? (Childcare, work obligations, pets, etc)

Any special jail support needs?

What situations will you follow police instructions? What situations will you not? What factors would make you need to leave the protest?

Always defer to the needs of the least arrestable buddy!

R: Roles

What is our role in this action? What experience do we have with whatever role we're taking?

Any special skills? (medic training, multilingual, scouting/radio experience, etc)

L: Loose Ends

Anything else! Do you have to be back home by a certain time? What does transportation look like? Are you on the same page about use of phones? Are there any specific equipment needs for the action? Literally anything not already covered!

Y: Yes or No

At the end of the day, if you figure out you aren't compatible protest buddies for an action, that's okay too! Even if you're friends or work together in plenty of other situations, you might not be the best fit as buddies for a particular action.

Even if you've been to protests with this buddy before, it can still be worthwhile to check for consent before new actions.

I use some version of this checklist with every protest buddy before we go to an action, even if we've protested together dozens of times before, because it still really helps us get an idea of what our needs are on that particular day and focus together about what our plan is. Even on times that I've ended up buddying up with complete strangers, I've found it helpful to do a very quick abbreviated version of this list in order to make sure that any immediate needs are communicated.

if people have any protest safety question and they're within my scope/experience, feel free to send an ask and I will try my best to answer!

new favorite meme

[transsexual-feminism]

Today I wanted to talk about Kyle Bassinga. Kyle was a 21 year old man from Georgia, whose family described him as "a kind, thoughtful, and smart young man who loved nature, music, and the people around him". Kyle Bassinga was killed on February 18th 2026, just ten days after his birthday. He was found hanging from a tree in a park.

The police ruled it a suicide. The family and local community demanded an investigation. The police refused to change their ruling.

I know this website it too white for this to really go anywhere, but an understanding of the present reality of white supremacy in the United States is just so important to transfeminism here. Lynchings never stopped, white supremacy never went away, you just stopped looking.

[storyweavingspider]

Juliana Nzita, A 16 year old Black girl, was just found hanging from a tree on church grounds in Charlotte, NC. Police have ruled it a suicide, despite hanging ourselves from trees being like the one communally agreed way Black folks ain’t killing ourselves.

Every time I go on Twitter or Facebook I learn about another recent lynching or missing Black person going mostly unreported. Half the reason I keep an active account on either of those sites is because they’re the only place I can find out about the violence happening to Black and Trans people reasonably quickly.

But I do need y’all to know that Black folks are currently, actively, being disappeared and lynched—if they even find our bodies. Black girls are and have been more often stolen into human trafficking, especially if they’re immigrants, but I’ve been seeing new news of probable lynchings every other day. Shit is worse than you think it is right now, tumblr just too white of a site to care lol

i grew up around muslims, i am also trans and leftist.

people in every queer and trans community i go to set an expectation: i should ofrever abandon my muslim past, i should explicitly stop associating yourself with it whatsoever, you either get to be queer or you either get to be raised-muslim.

in reality, there's no such expectation for christianity, and none of them are ready to dismantle their "inner christian" in their heads as much as they expect be to dismantle my "inner muslim"

none fo them get to admit how most first world countries are culturally christian, because christianity is "default" to them, as well as first world, as well as white.

me having a complicated relationship with islam doesn't mean i absolutely despise every piece of it. it means i distanced myself from ummah, but won't hear islamic criticism from non ex muslims at all, because you expect us to dismantle "our inner muslims" in ways you aren't ready to dismantle imperialism and racism in you.

your expectation is us "acting white", you don't want us unless we're that, which means you don't want us at all.

a lot of people claiming to want to uplift brown queer voices and such don't procced to do anything meaningful for them, or for brown people at all. it's just virtue signaling, homonationalism. you'd only care of brown people being queer, and you want the "brown" part of it gone as much as possible.

a lot of people say they want the leftist agenda to stop being us centric and imperialist, but then it's just pretending to care about it. you already made is so little and unhearable you'd have to get out of your way to seek for us speaking. then you'd not seek or if you find us, you will just pass by. hoping someone else would amplify the voice you took from us? and that someone else would hope for that too, so what?

you want us only when we agree with everything usa says about us, you want us until our lives don't put you into too much discomfort. when they put you into too much discomfort, you don't ask why, you'll restore the comfort by banishing us again. your tolerability of us is so intricately conditional, to meet those a third worlder has to build themselves into a first worlder mindset. this is your (inter)nationalism hey.

anyway, islamophobia hurt me more than islam did. now what
