The Maddest Woman

SHE HAD A MARVELOUS TIME RUINING EVERYTHING THING | The world pisses me off. I am bitter and have opinions |

[rants-rambles-ravings]

This is a side blog specifically to rant about the unfair, out of balance, harmful power structures of the world.

My posts will support disability rights, reproductive rights and mental health awareness.

I will continuously criticize and rant against racist, sexist, homophobic and islamophibic sentiments. I think the media enables and promotes toxic narratives.

Capitalism is evil. Billionaires should not exist. Eat the rich!

Climate change is a fucking problem. And it is REAL (can't believe we're still here arguing about it but we argue about masks and vaccines too so what do I know about the logic of the ignorant)

Posts relating to self harm or suicide or anything graphic will be tagged. If something is not and you need a trigger warning, please let me know.

If any of the above expressed sentiments bother you, please exit my blog. This is not the place for you and I frankly don't have the patience to argue with those who undervalue any human life.

I will never not be astonished by the resilience of minorities.

Queer people and people of colour have been under some form of oppression for centuries. We've had moments of hope and symbols of resistance but by and large, the oppression has never stopped.

You know what else has never stopped?

The light that these communities bring.

As unfair and as frustrating and as tragic as it sometimes gets, the resilience has always stood the test of time.

I wish we lived in a world where that was no longer necessary, that there wasn't fascism and racism and sexism and homophobia to fight. But goddamn, at least we once never stop fighting.

For those people who need to hear it, there is nothing wrong with going back into the closet for your own safety. You aren't less queer because you can't be queer publicly. You aren't less trans because you have to act like you're not trans.

If you need to start going by your old pronouns or quietly go back into the closet to be safe - you are allowed to do that. Please do that if it means you're alive.

Your safety is important.

You are important.

And if you know someone who has to do this, don't push them. Don't out them. Follow their lead. People's safety is more important that grandstanding.

[rants-rambles-ravings]

All jokes aside, this. This is the important thing.

I know the majority of your country screwed you over, but you still matter so very much. So please stay safe.

“We won’t be able to organize/ protest under Trump”.

People in the Global South have been organizing and protesting under dictatorships that America has installed as puppets for decades. You will be fine.

[rants-rambles-ravings]

Besides, your majority asked for this. We never asked for your interventions.

It seems people forget that Gaza is under siege, not just since October 2023 but actually since 2007. I feel like people talk about this acceleration of genocide as if the injured can get airlifted or that people can flee to nearby countries. Gaza has been under a brutal Israeli siege for over 17 years where even things like jam and chocolate were not allowed into the strip. Gaza currently continues to be under the same Israeli siege where not even pain medication or crutches can get in. Israel has always controlled the inflow and outflow of everything, including how much water Gaza receives. This is why Israel was able to completely shut off the water supply of over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza, to the point where fires caused by Israeli bombing can't be put out simply because there is no water to do so.

Just keep this in mind as you navigate conversations about Gaza; the fact that what is happening now is an acceleration of what has been happening for years and years and by no means an isolated event.

Listen, listen, listen. I know BJP is still going to win but goddamn am I happy to see them having to fight for every seat.

We are picking between two awful choices but still, I am so proud of my country for giving them hell!!!

UN Security Council does not pass draft US resolution on Gaza ceasefire

Russia and China veto US proposal that critics say fell short of demanding an end to Israel’s war on Gaza.

Russia’s ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia, said the draft was exceedingly politicised and contained an “effective green light” for Israel to mount a military operation in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where more than 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering. Nebenzia said there was no call for a ceasefire in the resolution’s text and accused the US leadership of “deliberately misleading the international community”. China’s representative, Zhang Jun, said the draft “dodged the most central issue, that of a ceasefire” through its “ambiguous” language. “Nor does it even provide an answer to the question of realising a ceasefire in the short term,” he added.

they were 100% right to veto this

[halalchampagnesocialist]

We actually do not know how many have been killed in Gaza. The numbers of those killed per day are seemingly less everyday compared to the start of the war, but we also hear of new daily massacres. We’re also hearing of Palestinians dying of starvation everyday, a number which is not included in the death toll. There’s not enough search and rescue teams to pull people from under the rubble, or that it’s too dangerous to do so. The Ministry of Health is unable to function properly, doctors and nurses are being killed off as hospitals are routinely bombed over and over, which means the current death toll is not being updated frequently and is most likely inaccurate. The carnage that Israel has left and continues to leave will only further result in the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands, even long after this ‘war’ is over. Does that not scare you? Does that not anger you?

[scarz-xo]

"Seemingly less everyday" not because it's less but it's because there's an Internet and electricity blackout over there, not everyone has access to esims to report, alot of reporters were kidnapped from El Shifa hospital, the ministry of health is barely functioning.

Alot get killed trying to get aid from airdrop or chasing flour trucks, alot are still under the rubble or dead in the street, we'll never have an actual count especially with how many families have been wiped out of history to start with.

Quick PSA,

You can fight for a woman's right to wear a hijab and also fight for another woman's right to NOT wear one if she doesn't want to - and you'd still be fighting for the same thing, a woman's right to choose.

You're still fighting for her freedom.

[retired-prttylilkttn-retired]

You can fight for a woman to have an abortion and fight for a woman to be able to have a baby. It's called a woman's right to fucking choose

Hey everyone, this is Bisan from Gaza. I'm still alive but Hind is not. Do you remember Hind Rajab? This seven (7) years old child who was missed 12 days ago. Hind was in a car with five (5) family members and they were all killed - except Hind - by an Israeli bomb, and then she called the Ambulance, she asked them to rescue her. Two Ambulance men from the Red Crescent tried to do this but they were also missed. Now; today they were found killed. The body of Hind found killed, found murdered. It's just a new massacre added to the list of endlessly massacres committed by Israel against my people; Palestinians in Gaza right now.

No one holds Israel accountable until now. No one is doing anything. Hind was killed. Who is the next? I don't know, it might be any one of us, but I mean, it's a new, it's a new massacre - she is murdered. You all heard her story, you all heard her voice asking for help saying (Bisan speaks in Arabic first then translates to English the following) "take me with you, take me from here". She was between dead bodies for days, alone and no one could rescue her. We knew where she was, we knew that she was okay, we knew that she could contact the Red Crescent but no one rescued her.

There really is nothing left to say.

It's unfathomable, even more so when you realize this isn't the first time Israel has done this. She was a baby. The men were so obviously red crescent medics, and still, Israeli soldiers shot and killed them.

It wasn't a misfired bomb. It was guns. They knew what they were targeting.

Anyone who defends this, for whatever religion you believe in, even if you believe in nothing at all, I can only hope the afterlife brings you your deserved suffering on a platter. You're disgusting, vile creatures, who must've snuck onto the Earth because there is no way in nature that you are human. Die.

نَّا ِلِلَّٰهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ

Save the children of Palestine. Protect the medics. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Displaced children have been forced to seek makeshift shelter in chicken coops after their tents succumbed to flooding. This tragic reality evokes painful echoes of history, reminiscent of the deplorable conditions endured by Jews during the Holocaust, confined to horse stalls and sleeping on wooden shelves never intended for humans.

The phrase “never again” lost its meaning shortly after World War II, as the world witnesses a disturbing repetition of past atrocities. Despite solemn vows, the world’s involvement in supplying arms only exacerbates the suffering of the oppressed. It serves as a stark reminder that complacency and inaction pave the way for history to repeat itself.

This is not a natural disaster. This was not inevitable. They didn't grow up like this. It was inflicted on them by the vilest sadists on earth.

Spot on. Like Coretta Scott King said, I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence. Discrimination against a working man is violence. Ghetto housing is violence. Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.
