From Struggle to Strength: Ihyaa’s Mission in Gaza

‏“In Gaza, even dreams need a place to take shelter.”

We need to reach $2000 within two days to pay the rent and start the inflocating students.

Participate on the widest scale

[feluka]

Hello everyone! Ihyaa ("revival") is a sister-foundation to Isnad ("Support") as they are both concentrating their efforts on different regions in Gaza. They are both deeply worth anything you can spare, and do incredible work for Gazan students pursuing their degrees remotely.

[el-shab-hussein]

The organizer of this initiative has to pay the rent on Monday to get these Uni students classroom space!

[gaza-evacuation-funds]

Will we get $2000 today? Only $910 left to reach $2000. I asked the owner of the place where we will rent to give us a chance for next Thursday because the required amount is not available. Can you help us with donations so that we don't delay more than that?

Your donation of $100 will make a big difference in our student fundraising journey

[gaza-evacuation-funds]

It is a humanitarian duty and you have to commit to it not to forget the students of Gaza because no one cares about them and they come to complete their work despite all the harsh conditions to work on themselves to overcome this idonence and poverty

Oh, and by the way, that Supreme Court ruling is where that Harry Potter money goes.

[ayeforscotland]

Context.

[what-are-fish]

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. JKR has openly given at least £70,000 to For Women Scotland to campaign against trans rights and fund this exact supreme court ruling. x x

Her anti-trans Crisis Centre in Edinburgh has the director of For Women Scotland on the Board of Directors. x

We can presume she's given more (financial) support off the record or in other ways.

Rowling consistently makes passive income on all Harry Potter products. Multiple sources have cited that Rowling earns anywhere between $50 million to a $100 million each year from royalties. Forbes estimated she earned $95 million in 2017 alone. x x x

It is a well-known fact that she earns net profit percentages on all her IP. Every time you buy any HP merch, from anywhere, she gets a cut. Every time you watch one of her films, even streaming or just on the tv, she gets a cut. Every time you visit Universal Studios or Harry Potter World, she gets a cut.

And she uses that money to do this. To strip trans rights at every opportunity.

This is where that Harry Potter money goes.

chronic pain poetry

[thebreakfastgenie]

At least two major artists (Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan) making a point to vocally support trans people the Grammys is a big deal in this political climate.

[thebreakfastgenie]

Also I think it's worth highlighting that they are both cis women, because bigots want us to believe cis women and trans women/trans people are at odds with each other.

[estra-die-ol]

Lady Gaga has ALWAYS been like this and ALWAYS been in our corner.

She used to be slandered as a trans woman tricking the public back when she debuted, and her response was literally "and so what if I was? Would it be so terrible?", rather than the expected "no I'm not but I support them!" or honestly the more normal for the time "I'm not a freak, Ew.".

This was at her debut, btw, so when her star power was at its weakest. And she still stood by us completely unflinchingly.

Lady Gaga has ALWAYS been like this. I fuckin love her.

[thebreakfastgenie]

Yes thank you for bringing this up!!!

[strawberry-crocodile]

bullies who realized its not cool any more to mock people directly for being fat and trans and autistic when they discover furries and polyamorous people

people are SO fucking mad at this post

small musicians who don't post their lyrics online anywhere. Why do you hate me

[godisafujoshi]

They don’t hate you. It’s just hard for them to use keyboards cause they gotta jump from one button to the next and they aren’t heavy enough to actually press them

Hey guys, I've added the google doc where me and Nairuz have been compiling the vetted fundraisers all on one list that can be easily updated and seen by everyone. I think it's faster than the system I had going before.

Go check it out, I've added 13 links in the past hour.

[determinate-negation]

the actual words of the palestinian resistance are consistently clear headed and rooted in anti colonial and anti imperialist struggle not antisemitism, they very clearly distinguish that colonialism is their enemy and all of the spokespeople of the palestinian resistance basically follow this same line, you can read it in their interviews which are available but all these fucking shit for brains americans and westerners do is either racistly insist theres no possible way for them to be motivated by anything other than violent jew hatred OR on the other hand fascistly make the argument that israel controls the u.s. etc etc when NONE OF THE RESISTANCE SAYS THIS EVER

[viciousmollymaukery]

For anyone interested, Die Hard Dice is currently donating a portion of proceeds from their Reroll Dice (made of recycled materials) to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. The dice are a good price and high quality, and they come with a watermelon D20 sticker, a handwritten note, and a nice little pouch to keep them in. So if you're in the market for new dice and also want your money to do some good, consider checking them out.

The user-repairable Fairphone 4 is finally coming to the US

This version runs on an /e/ Google-free OS, though.

There are two configurations available: one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for $599 and another with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage for $679. The storage of both models can be expanded via microSD, and the phone features a modular design that can be easily disassembled using a standard Phillips #00 screwdriver to replace broken components. It also has an IP54 rating, meaning the device is protected against dust and water sprays.

The Murena Fairphone 4 will ship to US customers with 5G and dual SIM support, a removable 3905mAh battery, a 48-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel ultrawide, and a 25-megapixel selfie camera. The phones will be available to order exclusively from Murena’s webstore starting today. 

[theshampyon]

I've been looking at getting one of these to replace my current phone. It'll break my habit of always passing my old phone to a relative, but I can live with that if it means I can fix the damned thing myself. Comparable price to a mid-range/lower high-end phone. It is, as far as I can see, the only smartphone that has ever achieved a 10/10 score for repairability in iFixit. Most don't get more than a 4 or 5, and only Nokias consistently get more than a 7. You can replace the cameras, the screen, the battery, the motherboard, the USB port, the speakers, the microphone, the case. All of it. If you want to upgrade, or if any one of those parts breaks? You don't have to buy a whole new phone. You just buy a replacement part, grab your little screwdriver, and swap the bits out. All without soldering skills, all without specialist technical knowledge.

They also make over-ear headphones that are similarly modular. Any one piece in it breaks, you can just fix it yourself. They used to do earbuds, but due to the size they're not self-repairable. But they still sell single earbuds for the folks who bought them, so they don't have to buy a whole new set to replace one lost or broken bud. They support the outdated hardware for quite a while. They're still selling replacement cables for the wired earbuds they stopped making years ago.

The operating system it uses for the US is /e/OS - it's a fork of Android, it just has all the Google stuff removed by default. Meaning you can download those apps if you want, or stay out of the Google ecosystem. (If you want a totally open-source free app library, look into F-Droid).

And if you need a laptop, there's the Framework. Same philosophy as the Fairphone. 10/10 repairability score on iFixit. You want to upgrade the CPU? Just replace one part of the modular mainboard unit. WiFi busted? Replace the card. RAM too low? Buy a new stick. Hinge busted? Grab a new one. Just about every individual component you might want to replace, whether for repair or upgrade, is replaceable using standard, easily available T5 and PH0 screwdrivers.

It's literally so unfair that I can't be made out of flowers. Guess phalloplasty will have to do.

Public Theater Takes Shakespeare in the Park Out on the Town

The Delacorte Theater is being renovated, so a musical version of “The Comedy of Errors” is touring some of the city’s outdoor spaces.
