To all the Palestinians following me, I must apologize because I can not give any more donations. My situation here has worsened to the point I have to choose between helping you or trying to fix the problem how I can here. I'm doing what I can, but we are being squeezed for every penny we're worth here. I wish all of you luck and safety, I hope those who can donate do, I am sorry I can't help any more than I have. I will not use tumblr for some time after this, I apologize but you will not be hearing from me for some time.
To everyone, please read my pinned post and stop emailing me. I have no money available to give as what little I earn I must use to keep myself safe and to try to fix what problems I can here as my life is one of many under threat here. Until I am safe I am not able to donate any more. I am sorry I can't help any more than I already have, but bombarding me with messages will not change the situation I am in.
Trump’s staff hides negative news from him to keep him happy. Musk was so affected by getting booed at Dave Chappelle's performance he had a mental breakdown. Their egos are horribly weak. This is how we defeat them—unyielding insults and mockery.
This is what we trained for. This is our moment. We need to get a lot louder and way more petty.
It’s crazy to me hearing Boomers and Millennials talk about what they wanted to be when they grew up. Being Gen Z, most of us have resigned to the fact that we will be poor for the rest of our lives unless some miracle of biblical proportion happens, a revolution occurs and the structures of government and economy are fundamentally altered, or we enter into a relationship with an unhealthy power balance. Owning a bed with a headboard looks like wealth and luxury that we’ll never be able to have. Actually OWNING a house?? Unimaginable. Being in a financial state where we don’t have the constant threat of hunger and destitution hovering over our heads? Nearly impossible. We aren’t afraid of the pain involved in a health crisis, we’re afraid of the expense. Yet I live in the greatest country in the world?
The bills are the culmination of six years of advocacy work by Strippers Are Workers.
SEATTLE (AP) — For months, Andrea studied for her master’s degree in library sciences between dancing naked at clubs in Seattle. But then she was sexually assaulted at work and slapped by a customer — and nobody stepped in to help.
Now, she and hundreds of other strippers in Washington state are fighting for statewide protections that would be the most comprehensive in the U.S., according to advocates.
“We shouldn’t be verbally abused for just doing our job and existing,” said Andrea, who has seen a DJ at one club harass dancers if they don’t tip him enough. She avoids the club if he’s there, said the 24-year-old, who would only use her first name. The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted.
Known as the “strippers’ bill of rights,” proposals being considered in the Legislature would require a security guard at each club, keypad codes to enter dressing rooms, training for employees on preventing sexual harassment, and procedures if a customer is violent. They would also require training on how to de-escalate conflict between dancers, employees and customers, and signs stating that dancers are not required to hand over tips.
I love how this swerf tried to use the "anti swerf" hashtag in hopes anyone would engage in their unhinged bile. I thought we were done with exploiting the horrors of chattel slavery as a means to make your argument look good. I know it's par for the course for these mfs, but still.
For the record, every anarcho-commie I've known is staunchly pro-sex work, so I have no idea why this supposed "leftist" used their hashtag as well. Actually, I think I know why.
Also, it times like these where I'm reminded not everyone deserves Miku in their pfp.
It’s actually pretty nuts how there is no real mass media coverage of the protests that are happening all over the US. It demonstrates fairly conclusively that the unlawful activities at the White House aren’t just limited to Trump. There’s a lot of wealthy people in powerful positions in the US and around the world helping to support the dismantling of the US federal government.
Israel continues the massacres in Gaza... 232 souls taken in less than an hour! We are dying before your eyes—please, don’t leave us alone! Save us, do something... protest, donate, participate. I don’t want to die!🇦🇪🙏
A Plea from the Heart: I Am Fatima, and This Is My Story
My name is Fatima, a teacher from Gaza. I used to work in a small school I loved dearly, planting hope in the hearts of children and teaching them that tomorrow could be better. But the war took everything away. My school was bombed, I lost my job, and our home was reduced to rubble. Yet, I refused to give up. I set up a small tent amid the destruction and continued teaching children, showing them that knowledge is a light that cannot be extinguished, even in the darkest times.
My husband, Akram, was my partner and pillar of support. But he was severely injured in an attack targeting civilians. His abdominal injuries are so severe that he can no longer work or even lift basic items. Every day, I see the pain in his eyes and feel the weight of helplessness, but I try to stay strong for him and for our children.
Our eldest, Manar, is four years old, and she’s missing out on her childhood amidst this devastation. Our youngest, Ibrahim, was born under bombardment just a year ago. He has suffered greatly due to the lack of milk and proper medical care. Yet, sometimes, he smiles, and in those brief moments, I find the strength to keep going.
We now live in a fragile tent that doesn’t shield us from the cold or rain. Every day is a new battle for survival. I write these words while holding my children’s hands, with nothing left but my faith in God and the hope that your kind hearts will hear our plea.
Please help us provide milk and food for our children, ease Akram’s pain, and rebuild even a small part of the life the war has destroyed. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives.
I ask you to share our story and be our support during this harsh and unforgiving time.

a mother of 5 children, living with my family in a tent after the war destroyed our home and everything we had. Hunger and cold have become our daily reality. My children wake up with nothing to eat, and I have no way to provide for them 😭
This is a video of my husband and I. We were running away from the place. Please donate to save my children’s lives.
We became homeless in the street
We are in desperate need of food to survive these harsh conditions. My children cry from hunger, and I feel helpless as a mother. Your support can bring us hope and relief. Every contribution, no matter how small, can save us from this unimaginable suffering 🥺💔
Imagine enduring a harsh winter in a tent made of tarpaulin, with nothing to shield you from the elements.
Every day brings the threat of freezing temperatures, and rainwater can flood our small space, putting us at risk of drowning. The cold can lead to serious health issues, such as chest infections and chronic illnesses.

I am pleading for help to save my family from this life-threatening situation.
Please, we need your support to escape this danger and find a safe place to live.

The worst news in our lives is the return of war, they don't care about a covenant or a pact The situation is very, very difficult, as if it is the first time we live this life, not this life that we dream of, but unfortunately we were forced to have a reality that doesn't look like us, the same pain, the same fear, but the people of Gaza have nothing but patience and prayer, I wish you friends to pray for us from your hearts and deliver our voice The world is not just reading support us with your donations and share my posts it is very very very necessary If the media is not our voice you are our voice let the sleeping world wake up and tell them war I returned to Gaza
