also, google is free, but pick up a textbook every once in awhile. Find articles written by POC and keep up to date with how you can be a better ally. I took a black feminist theory class in college…taught by two white women.

You heard me right. Two. White. Women.

Which is fucking insane in itself, but on the first day of class one of the professors was reading an article, written by a black woman…and decided that it was completely acceptable and appropriate to drop the n-word (hard r) and every single person in class was fucking MORTIFIED. Even in the context of education, there was no reason for a white professor to so casually and subtly use that word. (They were called out for it immediately after and profusely apologized)

My point is that covert racism is still racism, and unfortunately it is alive and well.

I also have all of the articles and works saved from this class if anyone would like to do some heavy and necessary reading! I have hard copies, but I’m sure I can find the links for the articles as well.

Just after doing a little research on google, I found these articles to be incredibly helpful on breaking down covert racism, racism, white privilege, etc.

covert racism

systematic racism

racism and health

becoming trustworthy white allies

what is white privilege

books on systematic racism, racial justice, and anti-racism

race equity tools

Bottom line, white people have no excuse to not stand up for BIPOC. There is no excuse for racism. There is no tolerance, and we have to do better. I firmly believe that the first step in becoming a better ally is to educate yourself.

its getting so terrifying seeing whats happening to public opinion of trans women. it was never good but now it just feels like there's an invisible wall keeping me from integrating into society in any way

[evergreen-femme]

and we have to pretend its about women's sports. all the vitriol of at least half this country full on display daily and we have to pretend that it's only about women's sports. the walls are closing in.

I don't know if full on execution is proper justice, but at least they did something.

Three years have passed from my children’s lives without play, without laughter, and without childhood memories... How can we even call that a childhood?

I try to encourage my children to study, but I stop at a painful question: What can I reward them with?

Yusuf, my youngest child, was born during the war and will soon turn three. Three years of his life have passed without knowing what play should feel like for a child, without choosing a toy from a store, and without experiencing the joy of a small gift from his parents.

Even toy stores are no longer the same. Their shelves are nearly empty, and what remains has become rare, like items displayed for viewing, with prices beyond what most families can afford.

And there is nowhere else to make up for it... No amusement parks, no playgrounds, and not even a zoo where we can take them to experience a moment of happiness.

Why are children’s toys being prevented from entering?

What danger could a doll or a ball possibly represent, other than giving a child a small piece of the childhood that was taken away from them?

Your contribution could be the reason for a smile, a simple toy, or a beautiful memory they can hold onto amidst all this pain.

Oh my God... that moment still haunts me to this day. I was sitting beside my husband Ahmed in the hospital bed, holding his hand and praying to God to ease his pain, when suddenly he lost consciousness right before my eyes. I completely broke down, crying and begging God to save him.

I cry every day from the weight of this heartbreak. I stand beside my husband with nothing but prayer, watching his pain and feeling my heart shatter because I cannot do more to save him. I try to stay strong for my little girl, but there are moments when I weaken as I imagine her life without her father. All I want is a chance to save Ahmed, a chance for him to remain a father to our daughter and a husband to me, and for us to see a better day after all this pain.

The doctor told me that Ahmed’s condition is critical, that the cancer is spreading rapidly through his body, and that his only hope for treatment is to get him out of Gaza as soon as possible to receive urgent medical care. Since that moment, I have been living in constant fear, terrified that I may lose my husband at any moment.

Getting Ahmed out of Gaza for treatment is extremely costly, and we need to raise more than $25,000 to cover the urgent medical expenses and give him the chance he desperately needs. Every moment matters, and we are racing against time to save his life.

Our little daughter cries every day, calling for her father. She does not understand what cancer means, but she feels his pain and clings to him with all her strength. All she wants is for her father to stay by her side, and for this war and this illness not to take him away from her.

As for me, I am suffering from severe malnutrition because of the famine and the war. My body has become weak, but I keep holding myself together in front of my daughter so she does not feel the full extent of the pain we carry inside.

I say this from the depths of my heart: I will never forget everyone who read my words, saw my family’s suffering, and chose to turn away without even sharing our story. A simple share may help our voice reach someone who can save Ahmed’s life.

You are our only hope. Every donation, no matter how small, and every share could be the reason our story reaches someone able to help us.

Please, do not leave us alone. Ahmed’s life is in your hands. Help us reach our goal as quickly as possible and save Ahmed before it is too late. Give our little daughter the chance to keep her father by her side.

I don't know what you're waiting for.

My husband, Ahmed, is fighting this cruel illness every single day. I swear I cry every night as I watch him suffer, while I hold our little daughter in my arms. She reaches for her father's hand, waiting for him to get better and play with her like he used to. It breaks my heart because I don't know what to tell her.

Please, I am begging you،،don't let us face this alone.

The doctor has told me that Ahmed urgently needs treatment that costs $2,500. We cannot afford it, and every moment we wait puts his life at greater risk.

If you are able, please donate today. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to getting Ahmed the treatment he desperately needs.

You are our only hope. We have no one else to turn to except your kindness and support.

Please don't leave us alone in this fight. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

[sillyguy-supreme]

maybe if you see south and southeast asians dying in the heat and latin americans dying in floods and all you think of is imagining a reality where YOU are affected, then you should rethink how you see people of color. if you cannot see climate change as a real disaster until it is other americans dying in the heat and the floods and not just black and brown people, then don’t talk about climate change until you can acknowledge the grim reality of climate change for everyone.
