May 5 is the Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons, also known as Red Dress Day.
In the U.S., Native people are victimized by violence at 2.5 times the rate of all other racial demographics, and are 2 times more likely to be victimized by rape and sexual assault. This violence has an even greater disproportionate impact on Native women, girls, Two-Spirit people, and other trans and gender-diverse people. Native women on some reservations face a murder rate 10 times that of the national average, and over half of Native women have experienced sexual violence.
You can dress in red and/or wear a red handprint on May 5 to honor the missing and murdered, discuss the epidemic of violence against Native people and particularly Native people of marginalized genders, and consider donating to organizations supporting Native Peoples, people, and rights.

Israel prevents entry of food and humanitarian supplies to Gaza. Then they unilaterally break ceasefire.
May 2025 - Opening of GHF death traps
On May 27, Private US contractors roll out aid "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" sites backed by Israel. GHF was led by Jake Wood, a US military veteran, and now is directed by John Acree, longtime US imperialist who previously worked with USAID, and Johnnie Moore, an evangelical christian zionist and capitalist. These sites are all located in Israeli military zones, where journalists have no access.
June 2025 - GHF sites are condemned by everyone (except the zionists). Daily massacres continue at GHF sites.
GHF is immediately identified as a tool of genocide and condemned by aid and human rights organizations, the United Nations, and literally everyone on the ground from doctors to civilians.
The Gaza Health Ministry states that GHF "does not adhere to any professional or ethical standards of humanitarian work" and confirms civilian reports that GHF sites are staffed by armed private security personnel, and that both GHF staff and Israeli military have fired directly upon people collecting aid.
Save the Children's regional director for the Middle East, North Africa and eastern Europe, Ahmad Alhendawi released a statement that children were killed or injured in more than half of the fatal attacks at GHF sites, stating: "No child should be killed searching for food. This is not a humanitarian operation – it's a death trap. Forcing civilians into fenced-in zones only for them to be gunned down is the opposite of humanitarian – it's inhumane."
As of June 25, 549 people had been killed and more than 4,000 injured at or near GHF sites.
July 2025 - People continue to starve and endure daily massacres
As of July 16, The death toll of Palestinians killed near GHF aid hubs reached 700.
As of July 21, the death toll of Palestinians killed trying to access food aid reached 1,054.
UNRWA (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East)'s Ms. Touma stated: “The so-called GHF distribution scheme is a sadistic death-trap. Snipers open fire randomly on crowds as if they're given a license to kill… This cannot be our new norm. Humanitarian assistance is not the job of mercenaries.”
As of July 24, the Health Ministry reported that there were 28,000 cases of malnutrition in Gaza, with over 5,000 recorded in July alone.
On July 29, IPC releases an alert stating that the "worst case scenario of famine" is unfolding in Gaza.
August 2025 - Today
Today alone over 79 people have been killed trying to reach food aid.

Tomorrow is August 4, my friend Fadel's birthday. This will be his second birthday during this war, the worst birthdays of his whole life. He will not be able to bake a birthday cake or receive any gifts.
He will not be able to rest in his home, because Israel bombed it while he was inside almost two years ago. He has not been able to recover from the injuries of this bombing because Israel has bombed and destroyed so many hospitals and health facilities.
He has not been able to save the money to travel to another hospital to get surgery to remove the shrapnel from this bombing because the blockade has enabled marketplace price gouging of food, and now just raising enough money to prevent starvation is extremely difficult.
He is disabled, and his medication is very expensive now. He has to choose between medication and food all the time now.
His campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost.
Help him raise some money! Give him a birthday present this year, please!
My name is Fadel Al-Dany, a 23-year-old third-year IT student. My life hasn't … Fadel Aldany needs your support for Help the injured Fadel a

I have told you repeatedly that I am in dire need of help, and everyone is ignoring me. I hope you will help me so that I can buy my medicine as soon as possible, and so that we can buy some food so that we do not die of hunger or get killed when we go to get aid. Please have mercy on us and help us with a donation so that I can buy my medicine and some food. Please Donate.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I hope you will send me some greetings and help me buy my medicine as soon as possible and some food so we can eat tomorrow. Please donate.
Fadel's Birthday is tomorrow, you can celebrate for him by helping to pay for his medication thru his vetted gofundme! Please share and give what you can!
Unfortunately, today is my birthday and my family and I were unable to celebrate because of the deadly famine we are going through. What is worse is that we were unable to eat anything today and we were unable to make a birthday cake. So please i dont ask you for much, just help me and my family so that we can buy some food tomorrow. Please do anything for us. Stand by us. Please donate.
"everyone experiences [symptom]" how many times does it have to be explained that it's often about the frequency of the symptom, not the symptom itself
"nearly everyone has had a headache before" i agree. "most people get headaches regularly" you're starting to lose me. "it's normal to have a headache all the time" go to a doctor.
"everyone gets anxious sometimes" true! "people get anxious pretty often" um. "it's normal to be anxious all the time" go to a doctor. etc
it's also about how much it debilitates you - chronic pain is in some ways less debilitating than acute pain because you get used to it, but in other ways it's way worse because it just eats you slowly and then over time you're way more debilitated by it
In my household we talk about "pathways in the brain" being like deer trails in the woods -- the more the deer walk along one route, the more their hooves wear down the grass until it's just a strip of bare dirt.
But if the deer start traveling a different way, the grass grows back.
Every single time someone mentions police role-playing in a sexual context I think of this tinder interaction and I instantly become absolutely stricken with laughter
Happy pride month to my dad. When I came out as bi to him, this man googled what it ment, look at me and said "ohh. Yeah. You get that from me. You'd have far more siblings of I only shaged women." And went right back to his work emails.
idk who needs to hear this but if you have been putting something off bc it doesn't need to be done until the end of the month. we are almost done with the teens we are approaching the big numbers (the twenties). that date shall dawn upon you swiftly and without mercy before you know it. psa for everyone except me i got plany off time
(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms
