please help my friend raine!
Hi! After a year long fight in court, I got unfairly evicted by my Land… Raine Reilly needs your support for Shelter and Safety for Raine a
from raine, emphasis mine:
Hi! After a year long fight in court, I got unfairly evicted by my Landlords for starting a Tenant Union. They don’t want me in any of their buildings, and tenant harassment takes a while to prove in court.I’d looked at out of state options but I would lose my medical care, and I don’t have a valid ID for traveling due to my X gender.
The case is still being fought with the aid of representatives now but I’m currently homeless with my cat Princess Marina, and supposed to be getting another major surgery (this time a stoma) as soon as possible. It’s been really hard to find somewhere wheelchair accessible that takes her as well, and I’ve exhausted all of the immediate options this week.
All of this is taking a very hard toll on my health as well as my cats health. She turns 18 in October and I love her more than anything in the world!
I’m accepted to NYCHA, but it’s a long wait for placement, and the shelters are not COVID safe and don’t take the cat for at least a week while they do her paperwork.
Any assistance to stay in a motel for a little bit while I try to get a more permanent placement is very much appreciated Times are tough everywhere right now, and I already took myself to psych last week from the distress
Thank you for reading and please stay safe!!!!!

The innocent Palestinian civilians killed in the Gaza café massacre by the US and Israel.
Total Death Toll in Gaza (Oct 7, 2023 – Mar 25, 2025)
Table: Projected Fatalities by March 2025
"These figures are not speculative—they reflect the grim logic of total siege. Nearly one million Palestinians in Gaza, or 40% of the entire population, may already be dead or dying as a result of this genocide. Over half are children. This is not hyperbole. It is arithmetic backed by epidemiological modeling, humanitarian reports, and the lived reality on the ground.
Some may struggle to accept the scale of this toll. But Gaza has already provided ample evidence. By late 2024, Gaza’s own health officials were warning of “thousands of excess deaths” due to disease outbreaks and untreated conditions. International humanitarian workers described watching children die of dehydration and women die in childbirth with no medical help. In one field survey, over 60% of Palestinians reported losing at least one family member since the genocide began. In families of six to eight people, this means multiple losses in each household. The pain is collective, interwoven into the fabric of survival itself.
And still, many of these deaths go uncounted—not because they are invisible, but because the world has chosen to look away. The elderly man who dies because he cannot access dialysis. The infant who vomits blood from typhoid. The teenager with an infected wound that turns septic in a tent. The entire family who dies of hunger surrounded by fields of food they are not allowed to touch. These are not “indirect” deaths in the moral sense. They are central to the machinery of extermination. They are what make this genocide not just an event—but an ongoing system.
The magnitude of this loss is not always visible in news footage. But it is carved into Gaza’s epidemiological data. It is heard in the final voicemail of a doctor who could no longer treat his patients. It is felt in the testimonies of parents burying child after child. And it is codified in every policy decision that blocks aid, bombs hospitals, and calls starvation “necessary pressure.”
The indirect deaths may be harder to photograph—but they are no less real, no less intentional, and no less worthy of mourning and outrage. They are genocide by other means. They are the slow kill. And they must be counted."
We got card payments set up!! Thank you to my friend who helped me!!!
Ahmed is a business major. Graduation is coming up soon. Can we help him complete it?
Ahmed reached out to me to get help sharing his campaign, and eventually, I was able to help set one up in USD. The US dollar carries a lot more value in conversion than other currencies, so this was a big step in the right direction. As we've been talking, we've become good friends. We chat and I've been trying to offer him some peace during these times. As someone with family in Lebanon, I understand the stress of seeing the people you love go through something terrible. Don't let him feel hopeless, please.
He's been unable to sleep, rest, or get any comfort. On top of all that, he wants to be able to complete his education. Palestine will be free, and he will have a life to live and rebuild after all of this. Getting a degree will help that, and let's be honest here, who doesn't want to pursue their dreams?
He's majoring in business management! He was hopeful before this war! Please, don't let him lose that. Donate, however small. Even just 5 or 10 dollars could make a difference. Show some compassion to my friend
We've already been able to send over some money to him via international transfer. Can we keep it up?
I want to see my friend happy. Help Ahmed get through this.

this is castro at the 2nd congress of the fmc (federación de mujeres cubanas) in 1974
(on the left is vilma espín guillois, castro’s sister in law, one of the people who helped found the FMC, and one of the militants in the m26j, active as a spy and supplier.)
sadly i can’t find the source for the photographer :( however, im pretty sure this would be credited in the document/photobook of the second congress (“memories, second congress, cuban women’s federation”, the seller description says “over 40 pages of photographs of the congress and the notable participants” but uploads of it don’t seem to exist)
Gizmodo spoke with desperate Palestinians who were accused of being AI creations.
a great article that I know some people on here definitely need to read 😌
as the article points out, it's noteworthy that palestinians are asked to jump through every hoop to prove their identities to the western world while enduring a genocide while the people making the accusations are safely anonymous. just one more layer of cruelty and privilege in action

dude I can’t believe this 2 of these little monkeys already fell off the bed AND bumped their heads after I wagged my finger at them and told them, verbatim, “no more jumping on the bed” I even called the doctor and he told me the exact same thing they don’t listen to me when I fucking talk I hate this fucking place

A Materialist Feminist Prototype Technology for the Transfeminist Era
I think this rebuild clarifies a lot of things and allows me to grasp it more firmly but in doing so I also have more clear criticisms. firstly, the things I agree with or generally appreciate.
l agree that gender is largely something done to people
l agree with the point of socialization (though I prefer the term patriarchal socialization)
I agree with the section on class fluidity
I also much appreciate the locating of contradictions in explicit terms
that being said, I have some nitpicks and one major question.
for the nitpicks:
1. I'm not too sure if class structures are always trivially evident. many systems intentionally obscure who benefits at whose expense. though I agree it must be legible to enforce on a systemic level, I don't see evidence for the presupposition that it is always trivially legible. The bourgeoisie for example goes to great lengths to downplay class distinctions, adopting language and dress of the working class, while dedicating many resources to enforcing the idea that class distinctions are only numerical and not antagonistic or even in contradiction.
2. In saying that some trans or gay people are not subalternized, sizhens specifies the following (emphasis my own)
Just as not all who “identify” as “nonbinary” are intrinsically Subaltern in gender, likewise, not all who “identify” as “transmasculine” or even “transfeminine” are intrinsically politically underclassed. Rather, this is itself a mechanism of how much one transgresses or complies with punitive gender force. Further, there are people who are, by all means within the contemporary discourses, “cisgender,” who are meaningfully subalternized by gender hegemony.
This seems to run dangerously close to the rhetoric which denigrates "binary trans women" as not being subversive enough with their presentation and thus reinforcing the system. I don't think this was the intent but framing an individuals subalternaziation in how "transgressive" they are, I think it lends ammo to those who argue that being something like a "genderqueer fagdyke" is innately more progressive, more disruptive, than simply being a trans woman. Again, this is mostly a nitpick and I don't think it's the intent here but it was something I noticed. The last portion of the indented quotation I think raises more questions though, which brings me to,
3. The distancing from the terms of man and woman seems to go against the idea of this framework being inherently legible, and to me complicates the analysis further. Sizhens says that cis fags may share a Gender-class with trans women and other subaltern groups, but to me this is reductive. While they're both oppressed, cis gay men for example still clearly benefit from their manhood, their Gender relation is obviously different to that of a trans woman, even if they're both cast out of a particular relationship to the patriarchy. To me, saying this only makes sense if we remove the term gender from these classifications entirely, and speak of them purely in their relationship to patriarchy, lumping sexuality and gender based discrimination into a single axis.
This brings me to my last and bigger question, which is how does Subaltern meaningfully differ from "Queer"? If we hold the idea that Subaltern is about Gender, then classifying cis men this way goes against the evident privileges we can see reflected in society and flattens intersectional analysis, but if we complete the disconnection of the Subaltern from Gender, as Sizhens seems to want to do by disconnecting P and NP from "man" and "woman" then from my perspective, it's primarily replicating the framework and concept of Queerness.
