Not every position creates courage, but courage defines true leadership. Deep respect to those who raise their voices in defense of humanity. While others choose to stand by in silence, as if none of this concerns them. History does not remember those who remained silent. It remembers those who stood for what was right when doing so demanded real courage.

What I'm about to say isn't being reported in the news. Organizations in Gaza don't distribute money; most distribute food, and not everyone gets enough for their family. So, if you can donate... Donate to a family or person suffering from a specific illness

[eventuallyelasticrebel]

My daughter Salma and my niece Judy are suffering from severe anemia. If you are able to donate, please click here. If you would like to participate, you can also help.

[alkliliyfamli]

Everyone is talking, writing, and seeing, but many are ignoring us or simply unable to participate. Please, we in Gaza are living in very harsh conditions. Donate, do something.

While the international community speaks of the genocide and ethnic cleansing we are enduring, we are focusing on the details of this urgent crisis moment by moment.

[ahmed-motaz]

My family and I are surrounded by winter's relentless bombardment. Shrapnel rains down on our heads and inside our tattered tent, leaving us without even the most basic protection. Flying in a torn tent offers no shelter from the bitter cold or the scorching summer heat. Every day we bid farewell to the martyrs of the revolution, witnessing children lose their lives before our very eyes, while we and our children suffer from a profound lack of basic necessities.

[ahmed-motaz]

We need your help, not to dismantle our tent, but to provide us with the food and medicine we desperately need to survive. I implore you not to abandon us in these circumstances.

[closet-keys]

Please please continue to support my young friend Ahmed. His family has been displaced many times, they live in a tent in a refugee camp in Gaza, and are subject to terror from attacks that continue under the false “ceasefire.” Ahmed needs food and medicine urgently.

I want you guys to know this shit not only makes my life better and easier, and consequently makes me like you more, but WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY could literally save someone's life.

Yes, eye strain sucks. Yes migraines are painful. Yes seizures are miserable. But every single epileptic seizure, to a very small but very much not zero degree, can just kill you. Seizures are horrible and dangerous - with aspiration and head trauma to take into account as well. Even if it's "not that much flashing" or it's "not that long" or "it's only a seizure" or whatever kind of excuse you may want to make - PLEASE think about photosensitive users when you interact with media

Anything with

Rapid change between different colors

Rapid change between light and dark frames

Anything that causes the value of the screen to change very majorly very quickly

Anything very color intensive/stressful for the eyes

Needs to be tagged with things like "flashing lights" "strobing" "eye strain" etc - NOT tags such as "photosensitive" or "epilepsy" bc we use those tags for our community

Please and thank you

By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!

All of this is worth the read, so reblogging for visibility.

Just to try and help out and spread the word, there are two chrome extensions I've found that might be able to help.

Seizafe: This extension scans youtube videos and warns you if they contain things like flashing lights that could cause a seizure.

CogniShield: This extension (supposedly, it has like no reviews) dims the screen to a safe level if flashing lights are detected; it can also be used to limit volume. It might help.

If anybody else knows of any accessibility tools, please share them.
