reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

"Plastic Fangs" - Handmade Insulated Winter Duster - January 2023

everyone please read this and share if you can.

Brazil is going through one of the worst climatic crisis ever seen.

i live in the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul. we have been suffering from extreme, nonstop rainstorms for a week now. the rivers are flooding, reaching 4-6 meters above their natural level. people are being rescued by helicopters, neighborhoods are being evacuated. entire cities are slowly but surely becoming submerged in water. 60 people missing and counting. 32 deaths and counting.

and this is not new. last november also had a flood like this one. 50 dead, many material losses. it happened again this january, with thousands being left without power or water for days.

three catastrophical disasters within less than a year. three disasters only a few months apart.

this is not natural.

unsustainable agricultural practices and politics led to this. a complete disregard for nature led to this. greed led to this. always greed.

when it comes to the climate crisis, i cannot stress this enough: we need to act now if we still want to live. disasters like this are going to happen more often and they're going to be much, much worse. this flood is being considered the worst climatic catastrophe in the history of my state. i don't know how long it will take for another bigger one to happen and take its place. i just know it will be sooner than it should.

in light of israel's looming invasion on rafah, south africa implored the icj to call for the protection of palestinians with new preliminary orders. the icj denied this request, insisting that its january orders would be sufficient in ensuring the safety of people residing in rafah.

we have all seen how israel responded to the icj verdict earlier this month. they have all but intensified their attacks on palestinians, their favorite of whom seem to be children. this will end in a bloodbath. palestinians, already malnourished and living in literal tents, will be bombarded, they will be shot, they will be slaughtered. and when i say palestinians, a lot of them are actual toddlers. the videos coming out of this are proof enough.

at this point, it has been made amply clear that palestinians will never experience safety in their own homeland. a lot of the families in gaza are trying to raise funds to get out of it, because there's nowhere left to go.

there is nowhere left to go. if these people don't get the funds necessary to escape, they will die.

it's vital that you go to operation olive branch's spreadsheet, choose a family that resonates with you, and donate as much as you can to their gofundme. every last dollar counts. one dollar could be the difference between life and death for a family. please don't fall victim to the bystander effect. your contribution counts, however little it may be. and whether you're able to donate or not, spread this to as many people as you can. each second we stay silent is a second an entire family is brutally massacred.

The Human Rights Campaign (the largest lgbtq+ political lobbying and advocacy group) is sponsored by an Israeli weapons supplier

Fakegyllenhalal explains in this tiktok why America's largest official queer support group has been silent in the ongoing genocide.

She has a petition linked in her bio (<- put over here) to pressure queer advocating groups to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza (and eventual occupation free Palestine. Not just for queer Palestinians, but ALL Palestinians.

Taken from the Queers for Liberation change petition;

"We urgently call upon major LGBTQIA2S+ organizations to abandon their silence and "neutrality," imploring them to publicly advocate for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza. We urge prominent LGBTQIA2S+ civil rights organizations to align with their mission statements. Offering constructive criticism is fueled by our genuine concern, emphasizing our commitment to ensuring active fulfillment of LGBTQIA2S+ equality goals through accountability."

It also denounces Israel's islamaphobic and blatantly wrong statements of the dangers and harm lgbtq+ people face in Palestine and the Middle East as a whole, and the use of pink washing by the iof and zionist occupation.

Lgbtq+ and queer people, including myself, REFUSE to be used as a tool for a genocidal regime.
