In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

the lowest tier, which costs 9 dollars, offers a week of connection while the very next, 16 dollars, will provide a full month of contact with the world to someone who desperately needs it. this is not some idle step. an entire month is a huge length of time for people who are displaced, terrified, and isolated.

Samar Elkhadour has been trying to get her daughter, Jana, out of Gaza, for the past several years. Jana was born with a severe degree of cerebral palsy and was living with Samar’s in-laws in Gaza. Samar was living in Canada and was trying to get her daughter to her as she dealt with Jana’s immigration process. Jana died on Jan. 8 – four days after her 13th birthday – in Gaza due to malnutrition and lack of medicine. 2 weeks later, Samar got the green light from the Canadian government to bring her.

At the crossroads carnivals and it's so much fun. There's a bunch of food to try like moss- milk ice cream and activities to do.

I saw this guy do a juggling act with his head.

I also saw this funny looking dog. Maybe it's a new breed from a different realm.

There was a memorial for the ninja which was really sweet. Ninja really never do quit.

This guy had a pretty accurate Lloyd cosplay. If they ever make a biopic of the ninjas, he should play Lloyd lol

There was a pie baking competition happening. I got to sample a snowberry pie. It was sweet and slightly tart. 10/10

I'm definitely coming back again next year

were u there in the crowd when lobbo got snatched? i was flabbergasted.

[ninjago-citizen]

I did see him get dragged away, but idk who got him. Poor Lobbo. Thankfully, two kids went after him. Lobbo is safe now, thanks to the kids and this older guy wearing green saving him

[nyaskitten]

Oh yeah the older guy !! he kinda looks like master wu... hey do u think wu got aged down AGAIN?

[ninjago-citizen]

Maybe that's where Master Wu as been the whole time.... I think you're onto something lol

He sure does drink a lot of magical teas. It's not out of the question. That man works in mysterious ways, so I don't question it that much anymore.

[nyaskitten]

yeah i think wu's been up to some odd shit.

The problem is the main things what they’re asking for is impossible for 99% of people, if we take off for a week from our job we lose that job. If we walk out for a week from university (since emailing and asking for notes to catch up undermines the whole point) we miss critical info fail the module and fuck up our degree. sure the side stuff is more acessable but when the main strike idea can’t be put into action your going to have all the momentum and impact of a dead slug, that’s why people are having difficulties.

hi anon. I understand that, and I empathise with the people who want to be doing more but can't, because capitalist society is built to punish us whenever we attempt to fight for a better life. But, again, you're approaching this in an unnecessarily defeatist way. The strike period hasn't even started for the northern hemisphere, and you're comparing the impact of the more 'accessible' strike actions to a dead slug.

I think if you approach resistant action with the idea that only massive gestures are worth anything, you're not going to get anywhere. You can make a difference by volunteering more this week, donating more to Palestinian escape funds and aid organisations, you can buy e-sims and connect human beings during the worst period of their life. It might not mean much to you, but donating the money that gets a Palestinian family food for the day, that helps them be able to text their families overseas - small actions can and do mean the world. One day I went fuck it, and kicked up a huge fuss on twitter because Gofundme refused to transfer a Palestinian man his funds. And, because of that small action on my part, he's going to get his money, even if it's weeks late.

And, just. One more time for good measure. This strike is being called by Bisan, a Palestinian journalist in Gaza who could quite literally be killed at any second. I know you mean well, but genuinely - what alternative does she have at this moment? It's nearing the end of the fourth month of genocide in Gaza. Palestinians have spent almost one third of a year being ruthlessly murdered with practically zero effective international pushback. If they're holding onto hope that action like this can make a difference, I'm not going to be pedantic and miserly about it.

[intersectionalpraxis]

Take a good look at the countries leading/have started the legal battles to hold the IOF accountable -their fights to end IOF terrorism and war crimes, as this should have been done months ago, are now beginning.

So many Palestinian people have been genocided, and the rampant global government inaction has caused chaos, death, and destruction of Gaza... I just hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. I truly do.

i knew what i was going to see, but i still gasped when i saw it.

You might have recently heard about or seen the video of Israel blowing up a university in Gaza. It's also been reported that before Israel blew it up, it stole thousands of rare artifacts from the university's museum. Israel also reportedly stole a statue of the Canaanite goddess Anat from the Pasha's Palace Museum in Gaza after it destroyed it. This is not the first time and will not be the last. Israel's destruction of Palestinian heritage and history is well-documented and part of a systematic process to erase Palestinian connection to the land.

How Gazans Are Looking After Their Mental Health

How do people deal with their mental health when facing bombs, hunger, and other devastating events in Gaza? Bisan asks several people, including children, how they cope with these challenges while taking care of their mental well-being.

Noor Harazeen you are the world's hero. You're completely correct, this is not normal. This is evil and no human needs to make these decisions.

🇵🇸 Capturing the final seconds of his life, he tragically fell victim to a drone strike while filming in Gaza. Aljazeera later recovered the footage from his phone.

Just as a reminder that when a permanent ceasefire is achieved, we still should boycott companies like Starbucks. They union bust and treat their workers like dirt. Please remember that boycotts do work and that they don't just work for trying to end a genocide.

Until then, keep up the fight for a free Palestine. Make sure to set your attention onto the congo, Yemen, and everywhere else that should be freed.
