There will be millions of actions like this over the coming years. An important thing to remember is that for them to work (anywhere, not just libraries) is people absolutely can’t announce that this is what they are doing.
Not seeing constant acts of resistance doesn’t mean it isn’t happening all around you all the time. Some very effective methods require silence and secrecy.
Ahmed Munir Al-Anqar: A Father's Cry from the Heart of Gaza 💔
Urgent Humanitarian Appeal: A Displaced Family in Gaza
… Ahmed Moner Alanqar needs your support for Ahmed in the Heart of War:A Father
My name is Ahmed Munir Al-Anqar, I am 34 years old, a father of four children: Qusai (12 years old) 🧒, Jouri (7 years old) 👧, Mohammed (4 years old) 👦, and Adam (1 year old) 👶. My wife, Heba (27 years old) ❤️, is my partner through this harsh journey. We are a small family who once lived with hope despite the difficult circumstances, but the recent war on Gaza has left us with nothing but pain and devastation. 😔
A Home Reduced to Rubble, Dreams Buried Underneath 🏚️
Our home, where we once felt safe, built our memories, and nurtured our children's dreams, is now nothing more than a pile of rubble. 🏳️ The sound of bombs and missiles was faster than our fleeing footsteps, and we barely managed to escape with our trembling souls. 😢
The Journey of Displacement… From Destruction to the Unknown 🚶♂️🛑
We were forced to flee to the south of Gaza, seeking refuge in an overcrowded school 🏫. But here, nothing resembles life:
No clean drinking water 💧🚱
No electricity ⚡❌
No proper sanitation 🚽❌
No medicine for sick children 💊❌
My children sleep on a cold floor 🛌🥶, their little stomachs aching from hunger and thirst. 🍞 My youngest son, Adam, cries all night 😭, and Jouri asks me every day: "When will we return home, Daddy?" 🥺 And I… I have no answer.
A Father's Plea to Your Hearts ❤️🙏
I am not asking for much. I am simply asking for a chance at a dignified life for my children 🏠💝, a roof to shelter them, clean water to quench their thirst 💦, and medicine to ease their pain. 🩹
Any contribution, no matter how small, can bring us a glimmer of hope 🌟 and allow me to look into my children's eyes without feeling helpless. 🥹
Help us give our children their right to live. 🕊️
Every donation makes a difference. 🤝

From the heart of Gaza, under skies raining fire 🔥☁️, I send you this message… Please help us. 🙏
considering the fact that the memorials I’ve seen have been a number of black folk who don’t seem wealthy, if your take on LA burning has been “well that’s what those rich people get,” you should feel bad. i hope you feel very bad
Support your local libraries and the small businesses that are actually making the products you want. Fuck Jeff Bezos and the systemic, universal worker abuse, gaslighting, and brutality they live off of.
oh no! i dropped this screenshot that explains how to bypass this with a free adblocker! you shouldn’t reblog this or anything; it’d be terrible if people used this advice to watch ad-free youtube!!
why would u want 2 b the most fuckable person in the grocery store when u can b the most 'buying groceries fast and going home' person in the grocery store
“I will never get over what happened to Isabel Fall [...] the SFF community has a serious problem with talking about revolutionary politics on Twitter but revealing extremely reactionary attitudes the moment they are inconvenienced.”
Richard Siken… Richard Fucking Siken. You asked RICHARD SIKEN if his poems were inspired by BUDDIE. Gay men do not exist in people’s heads except as props huh?
Gonna be completely honest if I got this kind of feedback from one of the world’s most famous gay poets, I’d just scrub my entire online presence and start from scratch.
There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"
The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.
We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...
Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn't just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.
