The hunger strike that detainees at Delaney Hall Detention Center are maintaining despite violent repression from ICE is only one of several hunger strikes taking place in detention centers around the country.

Do you live near one of them? If you do, you could help spread resistance on the outside.

“Leave or we’ll kill you.”

These words were spoken by an American-Israeli colonizer part of the Third Temple Movement, which seeks to destroy Al-Aqsa mosque and build a synagogue in its place. These are the people that are threatening the peace, safety, well-being, and lives of Palestinians.

My friend Ibrahim has had, very understandably, a hard few years. He’s had to battle things hardly any of us have even come close to dealing with. Bombs, bullets, the destruction of his home, a famine, he has had to brave them all, and has lived through them all. I ask you to please, please, help him.

Translating Falasteen (Palestine), in collaboration with The Sameer Project, launched a fundraising campaign to support families in Gaza fac

“2 million liters of fresh and clean water delivered in North Gaza since mid-June! Today, we are glad to share with you that we reached a new remarkable milestone in North Gaza of delivering 2 million liters of fresh water. That is the equivalent 666,667 3-liter drinking portions of water OR 4 MILLION small water bottles over the course of the past 5 months. Counting today's deliveries we have provided 2,021,000 liters using 314 trucks in total.

The last milestone we set was on September 20th when we reached 1 million liters. This means that we have been averaging around 15,000 liters every single day in North Gaza and we don't plan to stop! With your support we hope to carry on this mission until the day that our support is no longer needed and all infrastructure in Gaza is restored once again.

Until then, we ask you to continue supporting us. Our campaign serves the people of North Gaza with more than just water. We have also distributed 19074 hot trays of food and food packages, led 10 free medical treatment days, provided 2330 packs of diapers and 629 tins of baby formula, among other initiatives.

Please join our beautiful community and help us achieve much more!”

being a humanities major who’s friends with stem majors is so funny because you’ll ask your friends what they’re doing today and they’re like “UGH it’s so stressful i have to stabilize the reactor core for my nuclear power midterm and then i have to build the supercomputer from i have no mouth yet i must scream for my electrical engineering homework :/ what about you” and you’re like “oh well i have to read a fun little book and write an essay about gender.” and they still think you have it worse

freakinflipflop

Being a stem major who's friends with humanities majors is ALSO funny bc you ask what's goin on with them and they're like "oh yeah my day's pretty good! I only have to read 50 pages for this one class today and half a book for another one. It's much better than last week where I read three books and wrote a 10 page paper about their overlapping motifs for one class while also researching a niche period of time that our library doesn't have any resources on. How's it been for you?" and you're like "oh I have a lil packet of fun math puzzles due tomorrow." and they look at you like you're carrying the weight of the universe on your back

tesria

This is your reminder that just because something falls within the skillset you've practiced, so you can do it and you don't find it particularly hard or stressful relative to other things, it doesn't mean it isn't actually hard work you should be proud of yourself for accomplishing!

Folks, if you've enjoyed shoulder the sky, I hope you'll take a moment to give this a read.

I live on Oahu, in Hawaii, and between March 9 to March 23, two Kona low storm systems slammed into the islands. Oahu's North Shore got hit particularly hard. Residents had to be rescued by bulldozer; the town of Haleiwa was completely cut off by floodwaters. It's a testament to the strength of the community and the first responders on the ground that no one died. I got lucky, only a few possessions of mine got damaged, but I have friends up there who have lost everything.

I was up in Waialua this weekend assisting with clean-up and supply distribution, and while a lot of places are donating materials, the need is just so great- we ran out of diapers larger than a size 3 within the first hour. If you have a few bucks to spare, please consider donating to one of the following organizations who are doing good work on Oahu and the other islands to help communities recover.

Aloha United Way supports disaster response and recovery efforts for individuals and families, as well as nonprofit organizations serving on the front lines.

The Hawaii Agricultural Foundation has launched a relief effort with the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation to support farmers impacted by the Kona low storms and provide resources for recovery and rebuilding.

The Hawaii Food Bank is holding emergency food distributions for flood-impacted residents across Oahu.

The Hawaii Workers Center prioritizes support for those considered part of Hawaii's working poor, including recent immigrants, low-wage workers, and survivors of labor trafficking.

The Hawaiian Council is matching every donation, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000, doubling the resources available for relief and recovery efforts.

You can find more information about the storms and more places to donate at Hawaii News Now and Honolulu Civil Beat. Mahalo nui!

(Also, as a thank you, if you donate and send me a screenshot of the receipt, I'll write you a lil Star Wars something of your choosing! Minimum 100 words per dollar, but probably longer if I feel inspired- y'all know my word count problems by now.)

In light of the recently introduced bill to ban all gender affirming care in Texas, I'm really going to be pushing my GFM again. I am terrified and desperate to find a way to get out of here. I have a place to go, I just need help to get there. Please, if it's within your means, consider donating. Small amounts add up. Every bit matters. If you can't give, shares are just as important.

There are only around 1,500 native Cherokee speakers left, and most of them are elders

Little Cherokee Seeds is a program where mothers and babies spend all day with first language Cherokee speakers, speaking nothing but Cherokee, so that the babies become a new generation of native speakers. They're also teaching traditional skills and mothering practices to the mothers to pass on.

This is so so important for the survival of the language. These babies are on track to being fluent first language speakers, and they will be able to keep the language going for another lifetime.

I recommend checking out the little cherokee seeds facebook page!!

Little Cherokee Seeds is fundraising for a new program for the children ages 3 - 6 to continue their journeys as first language Cherokee speakers!

something i have always found really weird is when english texts italicize words from other languages.

I didn't think it was possible to shorten words verbally without removing syllables but sailors managed.

victoriansecret

boatswain -> bosun main sail -> mains'l tree nail -> trunnel etc. etc. etc.

ltwilliammowett

May I add a few more?

coxswain - coxsun

crossjack - crojik

forecastle - fo'c'sle - folksil

gunwale - gunnel

mast- mist

sail- sill

schooner - skunner

tackle - taykull

topgallant mast - t'garns'l mist

topgallant sail - t'garns'l sill

hervey-gervey-chip

based on the research i've done (and lived experience) of nautical linguistics- the syllables are the most important part of the word! for every command- historically and on modern tall ships, the command must be repeated by the crew exactly is it was heard: no conjugation, no changing of word order, nothing (referred to as a "call-back"). so it makes sense that these words are shortened in this manner.

boats are big, the ocean is loud, and there's a lot of stuff that gets in the way of words traveling coherently across the deck. it's also so rare to get a command when you aren't already entrenched in something else, and so may not be able to turn your head before acknowledging that you've heard. i've linked an NPR article from 2015 about how words travel in different environments, but basically the big takeaway for this scenario is: consonants get lost easily in windy or obstructed environments. there's been many a time (even in fair weather) where i'm having a conversation, on the opposite side of the boat, or even down below when an order is given, where i just hear the cadence of a command i'm familiar with and know immediately what i'm supposed to be doing.

on particularly well-practiced crews, i notice that even the tonal pattern of the officer giving the command is repeated. even without the tonal match, it's critical for the officer to have immediate feedback AND immediate response. when you get an order, you lay into it with urgency; therefore, if you repeat just as you head to your station, redirection can be given swiftly if an incorrect order has been transmitted, BUT if you heard it right the first time there's no delay in the task.

People speak very differently depending on where they live, and the climate and environment might have something to do with that. Crisp Engl

quick example (callback italicized):

"haul away!" "haul away" clear! exactly the same! i know they heard and the sail is doing the thing!

"haul away" "hauling" sounds an awful lot like holding.. is something wrong? did we forget something? was someone not ready? oh the sail is going up they said HAULing

also explains @ltwilliammowett 's example of "topgallant sail - t'garns'l sill" ... in "gallant" and "garns'l," less than half the consonant sounds are the same but the SYLLABLES match. its just the representation of what the garbled mess that comes across the deck usually sounds like for that Specific Thing!!!
