Starting To Suspect That Tech Bros Actually Just Don’t Know What Reading Is

Hey guys. Since my last post about Mona's mutual aid project, she's completed many initiatives with the donations! Her latest one was the distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables, something that is now possible with the entry of aid trucks! Please do not hesitate to donate if you can spare anything! Every single dollar counts. P*ypal link.

G*f*ndme for the distribution of basic necessities in Ghazzah.

G*f*ndme to help Mona and her family.

G*f*ndme to help Mona's sister and niece.

(If you live in India or Pakistan and want to donate, contact her through the means listed on her account).

I think people need to be more comfortable with illegalism and I’m not kidding. Of course the more legal something is, the safer and easier it is to do, but the more people who disregard the law, the harder it is to enforce. There are plenty of laws on the books that people just ignore and are never or rarely policed.

Becoming more comfortable with little illegal activities makes you more comfortable with bigger more important illegal activities. Additionally, it is crucial to build a wall of silence. Nobody talks everybody walks.

People who give out food without a permit, hold a march without a permit, grow a garden without a permit, are more likely to be people you could turn to to work with on preventing an eviction, or keeping people out of cop hands, or helping your friend Jane get crucial healthcare when it’s not legal in your state.

Communities comfortable with these acts won’t call the cops, and then nobody knows that it’s happening.

People have got to shift from both the idea that lawful = good/ illegal = bad, and that the illegality of something means that’s the end of it, and the only fight left is to make it legal again.

Yeah no, I'm sure the country using tiktok thirst traps to legitimize it's military has nothing nefarious to hide.

Nanami episodes are known for being very silly but I really like how much more serious her duel episodes are. Her naivety is usually played for laughs but during these episodes we get to face the underlying but obvious reality that oh yeah Nanami is being emotionally manipulated by her brother into tying her entire sense of identity and self worth to him, believing she is becoming better by doing so when actually she is degrading herself to please him to the point she metaphorically turned into a cow at one point. That's not funny, that's fucking horrifying.

I just found out two local gay artists were found murdered in their home. fuck. jesus. I knew these guys. I own their art. I've attended so many gallery openings at their shop. they've meant so much to the community here. and they're just fucking gone? just like that?

and of course the cops are claiming it's not a hate crime.

hey ohio people, especially anyone in cinci - if you can spare any energy to write a supportive letter to your local library, and talk about how much you appreciate the work the librarians are doing to push back against the attempted censorship of queer works and also the librarians themselves, that would be really good for their morale.

it's bad out there and they're fighting for their fuckin lives.

What Strength Really Means 💪

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔
