[burninglights]

fucking insane to be a person of colour in the uk right now

[burninglights]

When my family first moved to the UK, we faced a similar risk to our wellbeing & safety as many are facing now, albeit for different reasons. in light of everything happening in Ireland & the tensions increasing in Glasgow, and the perennial England, here’s a list of actionable things to do for people who may be targeted & anti racist allies.

MY HOME IS ON THE LIST/LIKELY TO BE TARGETED, WHAT CAN I DO?

* it may bring you peace of mind to have a go-bag ready, just in case. A go-bag is a bag with everything in it that you need to get out a volatile situation quickly. Any bag that can be secured (buttoned or zipped) will do. In your go-bag, you should include;

- identifying documents; passport/driver’s license/asylum card/ILR certificate/British Residency permit card

- Wallet and/or banking books

- A spare charger & cable and/or a power bank

- any shelf-stable medication (tablets, inhalers etc.) if you are on medication that needs to be refrigerated, leave it in the fridge until you have to leave

- Sanitary items; toothbrush, toothpaste, sanitary pads & tampons, deodorant. If you have very young children with you, you may also want to take your nappy bag.

* If you have to leave, a go-bag is a convenient way to ensure you have everything of importance with you.

* If you are being supported by an asylum seekers or refugee charity, or are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help. If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too.

* IN THE EVENT THAT “PROTESTORS” DO COME TO YOUR HOUSE, CALL 999 IMMEDIATELY, AND FOLLOW ANY INSTRUCTIONS THEY GIVE YOU. MOVE AWAY FROM ANY WINDOWS. DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR UNLESS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY EMERGENCY SERVICES.

I’M AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT/CARE WORKER/NHS WORKER, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

* Contact your student welfare office/NHS Trust/agency for advice, support and referral to organisations that may be able to provide assistance

* if you live in or commute through an area that is likely to be targeted, contact your lecturers and your faculty to find out whether remote study is possible; if you work in care or as part of the NHS, find out if it is possible to change shifts.

* If it would provide peace of mind, prepare a go-bag as listed above

* Reach out to your the uni society or student’s organisation for international students or students of specific ethnic origin; they may be able to provide you with direction to resources and peer support. If your university has a Marxist or Socialist society, reach out to them for mutual aid with a travel buddy etc., for getting to and from your place of study/work

* If you are a member of a gurdwara/temple, mosque, synagogue or church, reach out to your religious leaders. They may be able to provide direct support, or put you in contact with organisations or other congregants who can help.

* If you are friendly with your neighbours, it may be worth contacting them too for assistance with travel to & from work.

* Report any racism or racialised violence you are subjected to. NHS staff have a right to refuse to treat patients who harass, abuse, threaten or insult them; if a patient is racist to you, where possible, ask another member of staff to take over their care.

PERSONAL SAFETY:

* do not leave your home unless strictly necessary. If it is necessary to leave, don’t do it alone.

* use NextDoor, WhatsApp, social media and word of mouth to avoid commuting through “protestor” road blocks, areas of active conflict etc.,

* When travelling, use Share My Location or Life360, and keep at least two people aware of your expected time of arrival at your destination with instructions to contact the police if you do not let them know you’ve made it safely

* do not directly confront any individuals involved, or allow them to bait you into becoming confrontational

* only record if it is safe. Do not record individuals directly/from up close

* Do not directly intervene. If you see violence occurring, contact emergency services and if safe to do so, record what’s happening.

ALLYSHIP & HOW TO HELP:

* if you have neighbours, friends, coworkers or acquaintances form targeted communities, reach out to them. Ask them what you can do to help them feel safe.

* If you live in an area likely to be targeted, reach out to any vulnerable people you know. If safe and possible, offer to let them shelter with you in the event they need to leave home

* If you see any incitement to violence online screenshot it; it may prove useful in the event of individual “protesters” being prosecuted

* If you see any specific areas being discussed as targets, alert anyone you know at risk in the area

* Reach out to local refugee & asylum seekers’ organisations, to organisations supporting foreign national care & healthcare workers, and to churches, mosques, gurdwaras; they may be looking for short term assistance in helping to provide for vulnerable members of their community

CHARITABLE ORGANISATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE & TO SUPPORT:

* NASC Ireland; refugee & asylum seeker charity

* Doras.org; migrant, stateless persons, refugee and asylum seeker rights advocates

* Jesuit Refugee Service; religious refugee & asylum seekers charity

* Irish Refugee Council; supporting stateless displaced persons & refugees in NI & ROI

* International Student’s House (IE & UK WIDE): provides hardship funding and help to international students

* PathFinder (UK WIDE); supports international students

* Care International (GLOBAL); global carer’s charity

* Choose Love (IE & UK WIDE); charitable organisation supporting refugees and asylum seekers

* Praxis UK (UK WIDE); supporting refugees & asylum seekers

* The Runnymede Trust (IE & UK WIDE); antiracism education charity

* Migrant’s Rights Network (IE & UK WIDE); advocacy and support for migrants and refugees

* ShareTheMeal (GLOBAL); providing meals for refugees and those fleeing conflict globally

* Amnesty (IRELAND, UK & WORLDWIDE); human rights NGO

* UNHCR & UN Refugee Council (GLOBAL); UN refugee bodies supporting those seeking asylum, fleeing conflict & internally/internationally displaced worldwide

[lingeringspirits]

hello happy pride month!!

we paid off the $3,138 amount to not get evicted. then we were told it was actually $3,200, because of late fees. the total we owed before we paid off was $4,204. so, as of the ledger we'd requested (posted under the readmore), we still owe $1,066 as of june 1st. it's now the 9th so we have an additional $10 late fee. our lease is changing to a month to month, and as is common in this city, rent increases with every renewal to the maximum allowed percentage, so our new monthly rent is going to be $1,097.

still on the sisyphean treadmill of owed rent, while being overwhelmed with other bills, and still jobless. any help to keep us from being immediately thrust back into the eviction danger zone again would be a life saver.

ppal | vm | ca | ko-fi

here is the ledger we requested. apologies for not being able to provide an image description. as of 06/01/2026, we owed $4,204 before paying off the amount we were told was needed to avoid eviction. our late fees hit on the 7th of each month, now is the 9th, and we still have to have enough for next month's rent because of this ongoing inability to get employed making it difficult to keep up on our own.

Stability for Elaf and her family

Donate to Escaping Hell: A Family's Fight For Survival, organized by Tull Osman

In the heart of Sudan, my family's world was torn apart by fear, violence, and… Tull Osman needs your support for Escaping Hell: A Family's

Earlier this year, Elaf's aunt passed away after being hospitalized with a brain stem hematoma. Her time in the ICU has left Elaf's family with $4,000 in medical debt.

Elaf would like to use some of the funds raised through her family's campaign to help kickstart a small business so her family can earn money to help pay off the debt, instead of having to rely solely on aid.

Unfortunately, very few funds are left over after her family pays for their necessary expenses. If we could help get donations coming in more frequently, Elaf would be able to save for her family's business much faster.

If they are able to start their business, it would not only help with their medical debt, but also with finalizing their legal status in Egypt. The aggressive crackdowns against refugees taking place in the country have put them at risk of being deported. Many Sudanese people have already been forced to return to Sudan, including Elaf's brother.

Elaf and her family need our help. Please donate to them so they can create some financial stability to help with these urgent expenses.

Elaf is vetted #165 in the spreadsheet created @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi, and is also listed on sudanfunds.com

[save-the-child-qais]

THESE MAY BE MY LAST WORDS ABOUT MY BABY QAIS.

This could be the last time I write anything while my child is still alive, and I will never forgive anyone who sees this and scrolls past without caring or even sharing.

[save-the-child-qais]

Today the medicine ran out, and my baby Qais fell unconscious. At hospital, doctor said anemia from bleeding caused this, and I need help to get treatment before it happens again.

[save-the-child-qais]

I am begging you as a persecuted mother in Gaza, watching my baby bleed in front of me, unable to stop it. Please donate now and help me save his life before it’s too late.

Please donate now Gofundme

[save-the-child-qais]

The doctors said severe bleeding and weakness caused this terrifying moment, and without urgent treatment it could happen again anytime, so I ask, can you help me get treatment for my baby Qais??, please donate now.

[save-the-child-qais]

Today I used torn clothes on my baby Qais’s wound instead of bandages because I cannot afford them. I feel helpless watching this. Please donate now and help me save him.

[save-the-child-qais]

Tonight, I watched him try to drink water, but his hands trembled and the cup slipped away, and I realized how weak he has become. Please, I beg you, don’t ignore us—donate now and help me save him.

[save-the-child-qais]

I could not properly clean Qais’s wound because medical supplies are too expensive, so I stood there terrified, watching the infection and bleeding grow worse before my eyes.

Please donate now so I can buy new medical bandages for my baby Qais.

Statement from GazaVetters team

From the very beginning, our mission has been to provide a reliable, fair, and ongoing verification service, addressing one of the biggest challenges facing donation campaigns: verifying the accuracy and credibility of their information.

Through careful review and consistent follow-up, we have worked to build trust and transparency in a space where both are urgently needed.

Over time, GazaVetters has earned the trust and respect of many, thanks to the precision, honesty, and integrity that define our work. Maintaining these values has not been easy our entire team is based in northern Gaza, and we have continued our efforts despite unimaginable hardships, repeated displacement, lack of food and electricity, destroyed homes, and frequent communication blackouts.

Clarifying Our Flagging System

Recently, we have noticed some confusion regarding the statuses we use when we flag a campaign.

We would like to clarify what each term means and prevent any further misunderstandings.

1. Spam / Bot

*Spam refers to unwanted or repetitive messages that are irrelevant, annoying, or purely promotional (such as random comments or direct messages).

*Bot refers to an automated account, not a real person that posts or sends messages using scripts or automated tools.

Many spam messages originate from such bot accounts.

When a campaign or account is flagged as Spam/Bot, it means we have detected patterns of automated or repetitive behavior that may disrupt or mislead the community.

2. Scam

A scam involves deception, manipulation, or unfair behavior, whether or not it is technically illegal.

Examples include:

* Providing false or misleading information,

* Extorting others or demanding money in unethical ways,

*Threatening or harassing other blogs or organizers with hate campaigns.

*Forging the verified names in the spreadsheet or manipulating their status.

When a campaign is flagged as a Scam, we issue a warning to everyone to avoid engaging with or donating to that campaign until further notice.

3. Update Needed

This status means the campaign itself is still valid and legitimate, but some information requires correction or renewal.

For example:

*The campaign link no longer works,

*There is duplicate or outdated information,

*The organizer has changed details that need verification.

In such cases, we pause the verification temporarily until the updated details are confirmed.

👉 For any flag not mentioned above, you can contact us to clarify its meaning and level of importance.

We also understand that mistakes can happen, and from our side, we believe every campaign deserves a second chance once corrections are made and transparency is restored. 💚

Our goal has always been, and will always remain, to protect both donors and organizers alike, and to ensure that help reaches those who truly need it.

We appreciate the community’s ongoing trust, patience, and vigilance as we continue this work even under the most difficult circumstances.

[gazavetters]

Even in the toughest circumstances, we make decisions thoughtfully, always keeping the public good in mind. Just because you may not agree with a decision doesn’t mean it's wrong. We do everything possible to ensure our work is done correctly, minimizing mistakes to nearly zero 😊🇵🇸💝.

Mother’s Day passed in many parts of the world, and people celebrated all over. However, over Mother’s Day weekend Hamza’s family’s fundraiser was taken down by gofundme. They now have to start from square one all over again.

Hamza has several young nieces who are all suffering from malnutrition. Please, if you have the means, donate to their family. It would mean a lot to them.

FUNDRAISER.

[hamza-only]

Stop what you're doing now and share this. You mustn't forget that there are children and families suffering in Gaza. Any donation will go towards buying the necessary medicine to treat sick members of my family, including myself. The treatment is very expensive. Donate or share as much as you can.

[fatlesbianjoyer]

The idea that it’s somehow degrading for a fat person to date someone who prefers their body type is wild. “Don’t be with someone who likes you for your body, be with someone who likes you for you!” No one would ever discourage a thin person for dating someone who was… attracted to them? In fact, it’s considered something of a prerequisite. Ultimately it’s the idea that the only genuine, trustworthy attraction to fat people is in spite of their appearance.

[sapphling]

how miserable it must be to exhaustively discipline your body into thinness and your love into a finite tameness only to see fat people's lives blooming with uncontained joy, our bodies seen and known and adored and fucked and admired by as many people as we can fit in our hearts and our arms. it has to needle at you, knowing how much time you've wasted making yourself and your love so small

[teethspiral-deactivated20250711]

Do we really care about mentally ill people if we make posts like this? Consider those with eating disorders before you say things insinuating that all people who want to lose weight are evil and fatphobic.

[bioethicists]

i have an eating disorder + i reblogged this post bcuz it rang true for me. all of what op said resonates with my experiences with anorexia? it does make me miserable; it does needle at me that i could be accessing so much joy i deny myself; it does make my love small? i'm confident op did not intend this as a "lol you anorexic bitch enjoy suffering" post but rather a "fat ppl are happy despite thin ppl's predominant belief that we are not + in fact, thin ppl are restricting their hearts as well through their obsession with staying thin + that makes me pity them".

most ppl with disordered eating are NOT thin + relentless pursuit of thinness is not the only or even primary way that disordered eating manifests in society. publicly valorizing + centering thinness above all else is deeply harmful + ppl still need to account for that harm, even if it's rooted in a self-destructive relationship with one's own body. you don't know op's past relationship with their body or with food or whether or not they have experienced disordered eating- i'm actually willing to bet that this post was made from a place of healing from that exact wound.
