Two Afro-Palestinian women need help with their fundraiser campaigns
Reham, vetted by 90-ghost, and Aya, vouched for by Reham, are two Afro-Palestinian women whose campaigns are stagnating. Please donate if you can, or spotlight them whenever and wherever possible if you can't.
Do not let people look away from these Palestinian’s—do not let people look away from Palestine. Please contact us on Pinterest @k2ightly if you need to be removed from what follows. Please, otherwise, do whatever you can for Reham and Aya.
I still need your help. The situation is truly difficult. Winter is coming and it's bitterly cold. Do something now, any small donation, contribute what you can, even €5. We still need €1800 and we'll reach our goal if 100 people contribute €20 each.🤟🏻🔥🔥🙏🏻
Last night was one of the hardest nights for my family in northern Gaza. They are enduring unbearable conditions due to displacement and the loss of even the most basic necessities of life.
They urgently need:
• 3,000 shekels (around $780 USD) for transportation and evacuation costs.
• 2,200 shekels (around $570 USD) to buy a tent for shelter.
Current Progress: $16,126 / $17,476
Without this support, they cannot secure safe passage or even a basic roof over their heads.
I kindly ask anyone who can contribute to extend a helping hand in these difficult times. Your support could be a lifeline for them amidst this suffering.

God okay I'm just. So fucking tired. So here's a list of resources to educate yourself on issues within Star Wars.
Unfriendly reminder that you cannot be in the middle. You are either racist or anti-racist. If you do not practice anti-racism and choose to stay "neutral", you are only supporting a system that constantly perpetuates racism and harms people.
And if for some reason, you think I'm overreacting; for some reason, you think I'm sensitive; for some reason, your first instinct is to get defensive and lash out; you really need to do some thinking as to why you want to scream at POC who just want the right to be recognized and seen. Who just want the right to not be erased.
And if you think this is "not good enough" because they're "just blog posts" or whatever - don't bullshit me. Even if I posted a shit ton of scholarly articles you wouldn't have read them anyway if you're coming at me with excuses for why you think the discrimination is okay. These posts are accessible, and well-written, and straight from the lived experiences of the many minorities and the allies that want to amplify their voices. I'm not asking you to take everything at face value. I'm asking you to do your own research and engage in some critical thinking instead of blindly accepting what you're given.
*Disclaimer: while I have read these sources, i read some a while ago and if there's an issue you have with some of them let me know!
(If your post is listed and you want me to take it off the list please dm me and let me know!)

What I've listed above is only a single drop in a massive ocean. There are so, so many other minority groups who are also suffering that I haven't listed. I haven't even touched on homophobia, on transphobia, and I've barely touched on ableism, not to mention that there's so many other issues out there. If you have more resources, please please please share them in the reblogs. It is impossible to encompass everything in a single post, but we sure as hell can try.
Alright. I've given you the resources. I've given you my time and energy. It's up to you now to educate yourself. It's ok to make mistakes - we're constantly learning and unlearning. It's ok to need to take breaks, and to save this for later because you're tired and the world is going to shit. We are human.
But it's not okay to stay willfully ignorant. It's not okay to constantly try and belittle the trauma and struggles of minorities just because you've been okay living in a system that's built on oppression. Educate yourself.
Including tags of the people I posted resources from under the cut!
Botw is such an interesting take on post apocalypse, because it isn't really dystopian. It is a wound healed over, a world that has forgotten the end of itself, and in that, has begun anew. Grandparents whisper their nightmares into the wind, and smile at their kin. The garrisons that remain are sodden ashes in the dirt, a burial ground, and the most fertile soil for miles. You do not know the past that your body remembers. You do not know the voices that linger, and yet you follow. You follow, because the world has forgotten you, and you have nothing that is yours to remember.
This is a bit of a messy piece and I’m not very happy with it but I don’t want it laying forever unseen in my gallery so I’m posting it here
edit: i completely forgot to mention a big part of why i drew this, bc of light pollution and stuff, it’s practically impossible to see the stars from the city.
big man’s probably not used to seeing stars in the night sky which sucks because they’re a real beauty to look at…
Idk why i laughed so hard at Miguel’s outfit, maybe because it gave off purple guy vibes which was absolutely not my intention but i refuse to change the colors 👍
I also almost posted a version of this picture where Miguel had brown eyes which wasn’t accurate. If I had posted it and noticed after, I absolutely would be 6 feet under (which thankfully didn’t happen ^^).
