MY MOTHER IS STILL WAITING.

While this post is being shared across Tumblr, my mother is still struggling to breathe. Her pain does not disappear when I close my phone. Her illness does not pause while we wait for help.

We are five children watching our mother become weaker day after day, and there is nothing harder than feeling unable to give her the treatment she urgently needs.

We are only €1,260 away from our goal, yet two days have passed without a single donation.

Please do not let our story be forgotten. If you can donate, even a small amount can help. If you cannot, please reblog and share our campaign.

Sometimes one reblog reaches the person who changes everything.

Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

The World War II-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

A declassified World War II-era government guide to “simple sabotage” is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called “Simple Sabotage Field Manual,” was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and “describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.”  Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

[ID: @/mara_marinara: Remember the dead woman that was forced to carry her baby? Well surprise, the baby is in terrible health. The baby has been in the NICU for 6 months. The state of Georgia is not helping pay for the medical expenses for that baby even though forced a dead woman to carry it...

@/smoke_nd_pearlz:

Yup. He's up to 11 pounds. They have to transfer him to another hospital for because the current hospital he's at cannot meet his complex needs.

The family is 100% responsible for the cost even tho the state forced them to keep that poor woman "alive" as a human incubator.

No news outlet is covering this, you know why? Because the fucking experiment on a black woman's body has FAILED miserably. The only updates are from grandma's go fund me. They let that woman die for a clump of cells (she was only 9 weeks pregnant at the time) that's not even doing ok 6 months later. 6 months is a long time to be in nicu!

Adriana Smith is her name. I am so sorry the state did this to you. You were a 30 year old nurse with a kid who was already here who needed you. The state failed you, the very hospital that you worked at who was so supposed to help you failed you... everybody failed you.

“To know Alice was to love her. She felt larger than life, with a generosity, ingenuity, humor, and passion for justice unlike anything I’ve ever known.” - Lisa McCorkell

Beloved disability activist Alice Wong has died at age 51. If you aren't familiar with this wonderful woman who did so much to connect countless disabled people to one another, I highly recommend checking out her work. Disability Intimacy is a personal favorite.

[frizox]

the abuse and humiliation Greta Thunberg is going through at the hands of the Israelis needs to be put in context with the dehumanising torture Palestinian prisoners are put through on the daily: the fact that darling Greta can be blindfolded and forced to crawl and kiss the Israeli flags - despite her international popularity and the protection her own government should guarantee her - is only possible because Israelis are allowed to beat, humiliate, starve and rape Palestinians to literal death without anyone stopping them.
