I'm joining in on the trend of making polls to capture your attention with the hope that you'll keep reading to hear about Mounir Raed Alanqar from Gaza (number 8 on the vetted gfms spreadsheet) who messaged me earlier today.
this is what they sent
they are only 19 and fundraising for themselves and their younger sister Sham, who is 4 years old and developing a skin condition.
Please donate to their GFM or at least share their account and their story like I am doing. at time of posting they gave raised €1786 / €35000 and the last donation was 7 hours ago!!!
thank you so much for donating/sharing this post and the posts on their blog, every little counts. we will see a free palestine and we will see it in all of our lifetimes, Sham and Mounir Raed included if you help them out🫶

Please, take some time to learn about this horrific crime that USSR committed against Ukrainian people in 1932 - 1933

Also people of Kazakhstan experienced the same horror during 1930-1933 and it's called Asharshylyk. Some of the many ussr und russian's crimes against other nations.
I find it hilarious when someone in the comments of an old revolutionary/protest song is like "beautiful song, we need to return to the good old days with traditional culture and values." They completely ignore the lyrics and historical context because they can't believe that some of their ancestors might actually have been pretty progressive in certain ways.
Ok no but seriously the Montreal Marxist Winter School was amazing. Go next year. Do it. https://marxist.ca/school
If you are in/can make it to Montreal on February 17-18, consider registering for this year's Marxist Winter School! 100 years have passed since the death of Lenin, but he lives on in his writings and, to the best of our ability, in all of our work today. This is why the theme this year is "In Defence of Lenin." Hyped to meet new comrades and consider/discuss the revolutionary ideas and historical lessons of Lenin! See you there <3
Applicable to so many other groups and situations as well.
True either way you take it. And for the literal way, mud helps a lot too.
Love my commie boys ❤️🔥🥵🔥🚩🚩🚩
Decided my wall needed my favorite communist husbands

#Stamp #label Issued circa 1970's , not a part of my collection but wanted to share so much truth in a tiny piece of paper. #Cuba is still a captive nation under the #communist regime. | No forma parte de mi colección, pero sin dudas lo comparto. Este #sello es de la década de los 70's y aun #Cuba sigue siendo una nación captiva del #totalitarismo comunista ( valga la redondancia). #philately #filatelia #SayNoToCommunism #Liberty #Freedom #HumanRights #DerechosHumanos
🇨🇺 #Cuba #VersosSencillos Issued 1991 | #JoseMartí was a poet, writer and thinker in the 19th century. He was also exiled for wanting #independence from the #Spanish crown.

The CIA budget is kept a tight secret.
This isn't because they are afraid or ashamed of the CIAs budget. After all, these are the same people who unabashedly send $80 Billion to Ukraine as our cities fill with homeless encampments.
No, what would become clear should the black books ever break open would be the global web of self-funding illegal arms trafficking and drug smuggling schemes that truly make up the funding apparatus of the Security State.

mannnnn until we all get okay with the idea of people needing other people to get them water/food/etc like. idk we’re just never gonna make it
Jokes on you Verizon, we’re anticap and we fucking hate you.
Byyyye Tumblr, by TERFs, by Fascists
(I’ll see anyone who cares on Mastodon and Pillowfort, etc. Username something along the lines of Lemming, workingonit, theresstuffoutside. Message me if yoy care, I’ll leave my blog up until the 16th)
A former staff engineer, who recently left Tumblr and asked to remain anonymous for professional reasons, tells Vox that the NSFW ban was “in the works for about six months as an official project,” adding that it was given additional resources and named “Project X” in September, shortly before it was announced to the rest of the company at an all-hands meeting. “[The NSFW ban] was going to happen anyway,” the former engineer told me. “Verizon pushed it out the door after the child pornography thing and made the deadline sooner,” but the real problem was always that Verizon couldn’t sell ads next to porn.
Porn on Tumblr is something Verizon needs to wipe out if it’s going to make any money off what it thinks is actually valuable about the platform — enormous fandom and social justice communities that, just before the Verizon acquisition, Khalaf was insisting the staff figure out how to better monetize.
On that note-
Two former Tumblr employees said they were alarmed when Khalaf chose Black Lives Matter as an example of a community that the company should focus on converting into Yahoo media consumers. One told The Verge, “Simon explicitly said that Black Lives Matter was an opportunity to [make] a ton of money.”
I bought my dream Doc. Martines as an early birthday gift secondhand. its wild I found them because they're a really specific model and my size is woman's 41, so I'm delighted. Keep buying second hand, kids, ESPECIALLY if you buy leather - we do not support the production of leather products in this household.
Stay yourself, stay curious.
As a communist, leisure is something I find especially sacred. No matter what area a person finds fascinating, I believe that person should have the right to indulge in it (given it is harmless). The pure idea of a world in which an inspiring historian has to sit at a desk and click on buttons to survive sickens me, let alone the reality of it. As long as you can, especially if you are young enough -
Read that Wikipedia article.
Analyse those films.
Learn that instrument.
There is a reason all my post end with
Stay yourself, Stay curious.
I love you people going into "useless" fields I love you classics majors I love you cultural studies majors I love you comparative literature majors I love you film studies majors I love you near eastern religions majors I love you Greek, Latin, and Hebrew majors I love you ethnic studies I love you people going into any and all small field that isn't considered lucrative in our rotting capitalist society please never stop keeping the sacred flame of knowledge for the sake of knowledge and understanding humanity and not merely for the sake of money alive
My mother stating she'll have me date anyone BUT a cop is a major factor in why she is, and I'm saying this after great research, the best.
everyone from my high school is living their best lives. i, on the other hand, became an anarchist
i actually only have like 3 rules that sum up my entire existence and purpose.
1. support your community.
2. destroy power.
3. make art.
