🇵🇸 SHOP PALESTINE 🇵🇸

Palestinians will tell you that one of their greatest wishes is that the world would not forget them; this is what their oppressors are aiming to do. Unfortunately the attacks in Sheikh Jarrah and Al-Aqsa mosque are just instances in decades of horrific oppression and ethnic cleansing. You can directly help Palestinians by buying from them and helping them take economic power back.

The above are some examples of the beautiful and high quality products available at Shoppalestine.org including their honestly addictive Olive wood series and stunning embroidered goods (just to name a few).

!!! Hadeel.org is a UK alternative !!!

Similar and equally beautiful products here too^

You can also donate to one of the emergency appeals here:

Save Palestine Emergency | Muslim Aid

[synanthropy-deactivated20210719]

these are great websites thank you so much for sharing!

another one to check out is watan palestine - it's a palestinian-owned art studio dedicated to palestinian culture. they own offices in chicago as well as amman in jordan and they have the most gorgeous art, jewelry, home decor, clothing, accessories etc. i think almost everything is handmade, and they have detailed product descriptions for everything

also, if anyone's interesting in purchasing an original keffiyeh produced in palestine by palestinians definitely check out hirbawi especially their where to buy page if you're interested in knowing how to place an order to your location. the keffiyeh is such an important symbol of palestinian self-determination + solidarity, and purchasing directly from the hirbawi family would be incredibly meaningful

darnella’s fund - darnella was the young woman who filmed george’s last moments.

PSA to my white friends and followers: In the wake of a phenomenally important guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin Trial, I’d like to remind you all that the fallout of this case will likely mean more police violence against our Black friends and neighbors, not less. Looking at the statistics in the weeks leading up to this verdict shows that this is already the case. Police in this country are angry that society is beginning to hold them accountable for their abusive actions, and they are looking for revenge. So if you see a cop interacting with a BIPOC, DO NOT walk away. Video record if you can (and as long as it doesn’t further jeopardize the safety of the BIPOC involved), but absolutely do not walk away. It is critical that we do our part and look out for people, and make cops think twice about abusing their powers of authority and near-immunity to murder citizens.

[astriiformes]

Adding to this that advance research on copwatching strategies, particularly ones employed locally, as laws can very from state to state, is going to be your friend if you try to do this. It’s easy to imagine yourself pulling out your phone and recording an interaction if you were to witness one, but there can be lot more intricacies than just taking a video. Would you know how to respond if an officer confronted you about your actions? Do you know how best to respect the rights and privacy of the individuals you’re intervening on the behalf of, and prevent the situation from becoming additionally traumatic?

If you’re interested in learning more to prepare yourself, so you can be as effective as possible if you witness a scenario that requires bystander intervention, here are some resources on copwatching to look over. I highly recommend reading over them several times and taking good notes – or anything else that will help you commit the contents to memory – because this stuff will escape you in an actual stressful scenario (signed, someone who has attended multiple copwatch trainings and still totally blanked on most of what I learned the one time I’ve directly confronted an officer)

For those local to the Minneapolis, where we’re very likely to see the highest amount of police retaliation in the days to come, the Twin Cities Worker’s Defense Alliance has a How to Copwatch manual, as well as a printable Know Your Rights zine

United Against Police Terror San Diego has a Copwatching Manual intended to be fairly broadly applicable to copwatchers in the US

The ACLU offers advice on copwatching in the form of Fighting Police Abuse: A Community Action Manual

WeCopwatch have a large variety of resources on copwatching and copwatchers rights’ on their site

A fair number of these resources are aimed at people interested in setting up regular copwatching patrols, but even for people primarily interested in being prepared in the instance of witnessing a scenario in which copwatching is necessary, it’s a good idea to do your homework and know how to be the most effective bystander you can. Knowing your rights and other important things to keep in mind will help you avoid being caught-off guard should you end up needing to record an interaction – or aggravating a situation, which is a real risk to consider. I also recommend looking up the specific laws relevant to your own area that these resources may or may not manage to cover.

An idea of what the Twilight vamps can look like in the sun: 

1. They look the way they did when they died: 

- Carlisle has a bite mark on his wrist and his arm hangs weirdly, like his shoulder was out of it’s socket, body still hunched over in pain. 

- Jasper has a bloody bite on the juncture between his shoulder and neck, another on the other side to match, always bleeding and always burning. 

- Edward looks like a living corpse, hectic spots of red on his cheeks from the fever, all skin and bones, a bloody bite on his wrist, his face and body gaunt. 

- Esme’s stomach is slightly swollen, her neck bent at an impossible angle and her spine all twisted and broken, dried tears on her cheeks, a bloody bite on her throat. 

- Alice is all skin and bones, hollow eyes and gaunt body, twitching periodically like she can still feel the electricity zipping through her body, a bite on her shoulder. 

- Rosalie is all bloody and beaten up, half dead, lips swollen and bitten raw, dried blood on the insides of her thighs, a broken collarbone, broken leg, and 4 bruised ribs, she hisses out in pain every time she moves, a bite on her throat. 

- Emmett is a bloody mess, his clothes all shredded and body twisted in pain, deep gashes across his chest and abdomen and legs, his body broken, a deep bite on his neck.

You may or may not have already watched the latest Ontario Government announcement where they just gave police the power to do random checks on pedestrians and pull over anyone driving to ensure that they are leaving their house for a necessary reason. If people don’t give their address and why they’re out they will get fined $750.

This will disproportionately affect Black people and people of colour. In this broadcast they also all but explicitly encouraged people to call the cops on their neighbours breaking protocol. DO NOT CALL THE COPS ON YOUR BLACK NEIGHBOURS.

one of the most upsetting new covid regulations. but some departments have said they will NOT be conducting random stops despite the new rules so check this article to see if your local police have done so yet

https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.5991872

stay safe everyone, and I will repeat the above statement DO NOT CALL THE COPS ON YOUR NEIGHBOURS OF COLOUR

about holly (emmettsmantiddies) tw ableism and racism

this isn’t a post to try to hold her accountable for any of her actions, as other means of reaching out have been tried and didn’t work. i debated whether or not i should make this, but i am not interested in having to just swallow the experience and protect her. i don’t want to be a bystander in case this happens to someone else.

and to preface, other people have also been involved in this and am i only discussing the things that i had bigger issues with as an individual. you should not pry and try to sus out the others, nor should you ask anything unless they choose to say. and to keep their privacy, i do not want to include screenshots, unless i absolutely have to. the rest of the post will be under the cut, again tw ableism and racism.

Keep reading

THE LESBIAN AGENDA IS SUCCEEDING

[youngdiasporan]

Hey did you know that this is literally just pink colonialism?

[lizardbby]

in this month, which is both pride and indigenous history month, please unpack ur “i wanna move to a farm w my wife uwu” shit and realize it holds an inherent expectation of access to land stolen from indigenous people. it’s irresponsible to move to a rural area to ““live off the land”” without giving serious thought to whose land it was before white settlers took it over and how you can work to undo that theft. becoming a white settler yourself ain’t it.

[bluntedblade]

I’ve been seeing alot of these kind of posts targeting white people who want to purchase land, and as a native person myself, the hostility is really unfounded. I get what it’s all going for but it’s just barking up the wrong tree. Yes, the land is stolen. And it was stolen a long time ago, and many aboriginal people were hurt when the land taken and abused. There’s nothing wrong with a few people on the internet having daydreams about managing a farm.

I wasn’t able to discern race from either of the above two responses, so I’m not going to make any assumptions, but I have seen a few of these posts posted by white people. So, if you’re a white person, instead of crying “colonialism!” Out on the internet because people want to own a farm, actually go out and help native people. Learn their cultures and languages, and help preserve them. Donate your time and money to fundraisers and organizations that help native people. Guilt shaming other people for purchasing land that was long taken from us long ago doesn’t actually help natives! If you’re looking for places to donate, please help the local Indian Bands in your provinces, states, county, etc. Do a cursory search on the internet or ask around near where you live. You’ll find something that you can actually do to help someone who needs that help right now.

For example, I’m Haida- from the north-west coast people who live on Haida Gwaii. Our language is dying, and only twelves dozen speakers are still alive after heavy erasure. You can learn some of the language here (for free!:

http://www.haidalanguage.org/

And even watch a recent documentary to see what life on the island is like today, (I’m not sure if you watch it for free or not, I purchased a Blu-Ray copy of the film):

http://haidagwaiifilm.com/

You can even donate some money to the Haida museum on the island:

http://haidagwaiimuseum.ca/support-the-museum/

This is some research I just did right now. Please, if you’re concerned about what has happened in the past, and what you can do to fix it, please do something worthwhile. Getting mad at strangers who want to own some land doesn’t get native people anywhere.

[mumblingsage]

The actual article is worth reading if you have the time (it’s a pretty fast read with lots of pictures) - one of the ranchers highlighted is a member of the Lakota nation. 

[slightlycrookedletters]

On the note of indigenous businesses AND farming…there are several seed companies/charities/groups out there that are native run or focused and that especially focus on plants that are native to this continent. So, if you feel like starting a garden this year, there are good places to look for!

Aparently all the aphobes are being forced out of the woodwork today, so I’m going to make it explicitly clear that asexuals and aromatics are important members of the lgbtqia+ community and are welcomed here. This includes asexual cisromantics, who are told too often they are not a part of the community. You are valid and you do belong here.

[starrylolo]

Anyways happy Black History Month!

Remember to support Black people! Not just famous black people, but Black people in your everyday life. Elevate their voices. Listen to them. Black men, women and nonbinary people. Lightskin and darkskin Black people. Disabled Black people, Black people with all sorts of conditions. LGBTQ+ and cishet Black people. Black people all over the world.

Not just February, but every day of every month, every year.
