yes
Writing letters while my friends are knitting, having tea and laughing together is a nice way to welcome autumn, and brings me some warmth as the weather grows colder.
Esral Shikh has organised a worldwide campaign to call for a permanent ceasefire in gaza. Here are the details:
Total Strike on Monday, 11 Dec 2023.
It is necessary to paralyse the movement of life and the economic wheel in all countries so everyone feels directly affected by the genocide happening in Gaza.
Start making communications, spreading the word, mobilise your communities.
This strike includes transportation, aviation, trade, banks, ports, and even schools and universities.
Here’s how you can join the strike:
Don't buy anything (cash or online)
Don't use your bank account, and don't make any transaction
Don't leave your house
Deactivate your Facebook accounts (you can reactivate them later)—please make sure to follow the palestinians on other social media platforms to keep updated on their posts
Leave 1-star reviews on Instagram, Whatsapp, and Facebook on your app store and play store for silencing pro-palestinian voices and supporting genocide.
I would also suggest to not stream anything for the whole day (incl spotify, netflix, youtube, hulu, paramount, amazon prime, etc)
Tweet using the hashtag #StrikeForGaza
[For US citizens] sign your strike card as well
Do all these things together for maximum pressure
We are protesting but our protests are going largely unnoticed by the people in power, so we need to increase pressure.
Stop all operations on a working day, let the world feel even a fraction of what it’s like to have your life put on hold. It’s only a day. We can do this. If we mobilise and get people together who support this cause, we can make this happen.
17,400+ people have been killed. 7,000+ of which are children. 1.9M people have been displaced. Please. You owe it to them to speak up. Please stop this. Please call for permanent ceasefire.
It is short notice for some places, I apologise for that. These posts only just started circulating and showing up. Regardless, doesn’t hurt to try.

i wish tumblr would let you append a little memo when you blocked someone so i could remember if i brought the hammer down for virulent transphobia or for having slightly too annoying of an opinion on a day when i was hungover
Idk I'm getting tired of emails that say "OMG THIS PRODUCT IS SO CHEAP!!!" Instead of "this product is so well made and it will last you several years to come!!"
how you program your mind when you’re at a low point is so impactful. resorting back to toxic patterns when you’re low is only strengthening those neural pathways and programming your mind to make those unhealthy choices or think those unhealthy thoughts every time you’re not feeling well. alternatively, trying your hardest to cope in a healthier way every time you’re feeling bad will strengthen those positive neural pathways, and as time goes on, it will become easier to make healthy choices and say no to toxic patterns. this of course isn’t to say that you should feel guilty if you relapse, it is not by any means easy to reprogram your brain and sometimes we relapse and that’s okay, so long as we’re trying our best to treat ourselves better.
My fellow leftists, do NOT give in to defeatism.
Things are already turning around.
