Help my family. War is devastating. There is nothing left to live. No schools, no universities, no home, and no dreams. All dreams have been shattered. I hope for help before it is too late
I keep my tumblr very personal, more of a space to engage with my non advocacy based interests like snoms and the magnus archives. That is a hard line for me so this is the only post on any current irl war that I am going to be making here on tumblr. I do that plenty on my instagram, I need this distinction for my mental health. So to make my stance clear:
I stand with Ukraine, I stand with Palestine, genocide is a horrible thing that should not exist but it does and is happening with both of these wars, I know horrible shit is also happening in Bangladesh and Syria but I don't have the mental capacity to follow them as intently so I will not talk on them for my view will be uneducated. Especially the Gaza strip of Palestine is suffering hard. The Israeli Government and Russian Government do not speak for all their people, I hold out hope that there are people in these countries that will stand up against these horrible actions orchestrated by them. The war in Palestine is far removed from religion, Jewish people are usually lovely and Israel's actions are in no way their fault or responsibility. Israel is a country bound by the same Geneva Convention the rest of countries are bound by, doing horrible war crimes, and must be stopped and punished for them. Not given a single chance to do any more of them. As a Finn I understand hating on Russia but that hatred should not fall on Russian refugees, who do not support the war. It should fall on the Government, the ones orchestrating it all, the soldiers excecuting it. Not civilians.
I donated to UmmaRelief this spring and I will donate again to other similar organizations helping out in these areas once I have the situation to be able to do so. I urge you to do the same. Go find organizations that are helping that you feel safe supporting. If you need ideas you have your basics: red cross, unicef, ummarelief, doctors without boarders, etc. There's a bunch out there, just read the mission statement and make sure they're funding the things you want to fund.
Thank you.
