did you know a single swedish krona is 0.094 cents in usd? that's less than a hundredth of a cent. my friends yousef and mona are fundraising using krona, and they set their goal to kr200,000. two hundred thousand seems like a big number, but they aren't asking for too much at all, even though they would be justified to. kr200,000 is $18,711 in USD. that's a much smaller number. i'm sure many of you know that the price to evacuate an adult from gaza to egypt is $5k usd. evacuating a child costs a little bit less, but on top of saving up to evacuate, they have to pay for their baby son's childcare items, as well as medical care for his skin infection. mona is suffering inflammation in her lungs from the cold, and will need an operation as soon as possible. she cannot sleep through the night because she coughs and it hurts her lungs. at the time of writing this, november 3rd 2024 at 5:16pm US central standard time, their campaign has kr57,027. a little more than a 1/4 of their goal. it is $5,335.16 in usd. enough to evacuate one person. they're going to need more than that. please help them however you can.

Pretty much just saying “damn this bitchy tgirls need to just shut up and accept however we treat them”, no?

Do they....do they think none of us are friends in real life???? Hi Judith remember getting drinks together we should do that again.

To the average transmisogynist every tgirl on the internet is a lanky, white, ex redditor/channer with no friends hunched over a keyboard coming up with conspiracy theories as to how she’s oppressed.

Because that’s where they want us, lonely, depressed, desperate for connection.

That’s where we’re at our easiest, to hurt, to use, to toy with. They wish we were all like that, with no leg to stand on when talking about our oppression, no anchor to build off of. We’re all skinny white racist incel men to them. We can’t possibly be oppressed when they view us as the oppressors right?

I had queer friends, a whole queer friendgroup/community, before I learned the word “transmisogyny.” I was routinely subjected to transmisogyny by those queer friends, to the point I questioned my perception of reality, before I learned the word.

I have moved on with my “trans folks irl” and have found people who are actually friends with me and clearly treat me with love and respect.

i always loved the og painting so heres an homage to this but sanrio-fied , fuck missionaries and especially their stupid dinky mascot

"Finally the dems can be the law and order party!"

"It's gonna be so good when the prosecutor beats the convicted felon"

She literally met with a war criminal

She’s going to be the next president and will have to figure out how to end the Israeli destruction of Gaza, which she cannot do without working with the head of the Israeli government, who isn’t going anywhere soon. What else is she supposed to do?

"If you don't stop the war tomorrow we're immediately ceasing every single weapons delivery"

Solved.

That could even be a letter.

That's also the only condition I'd vote for Kamala or push others to vote for her.

This is the moderate compromise btw. If I had my way then Israel would literally be subjected to military enforced regime change.

Not sure if it’s comforting or disturbing to see that regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, most people’s voting choices are still rooted in visceral emotion instead of rational thought. Purity politics is so tired, annoyingly self righteous, clearly self defeating, and, deeply rooted in a conservative mindset

She literally called for a ceasefire in that meeting OP. She has already expressed far more demanding and firm views on Palestine. You're playing dangerous, stupid games here that are going to get Trump and his death cult elected and you can damn well guarantee that Palestine will cease to exist under his rule.

You and the people on here like you are deliberately trying to distract and divert. Fucking stop it.

Everyone block this fool.

“Subjected to military enforced regime change” is a lot of words when you could just say “invaded.”

Okay!

Invade 👏 Israel 👏

Is that any clearer?

Invade 👏 Israel 👏

Militarily👏👏👏 Subjugate 👏👏👏The 👏👏👏 Israeli 👏👏👏Regime👏👏👏

oh hell no

SHUT THE FUCK UP NOBODY SHOULD BE INVADING ANYBODY

THE SOLUTION TO THE INVADER NATION OF ISRAEL IS NOT INVADING IT

Wrong ☝️🤓

In fact, supporting Military Subjugation of the Zionist Entity is now the moderate compromise position btw

Hey, we've been in a tight spot for months. we have no income, rely on foodstamps to be able to eat for the entire month, and the job search is going really bad. we're both suffering pretty horribly from the stress of it all, not to mention the fact that we've been off hormones for months, and we really need some help if we're gonna save up enough to get the hell out of here. please help us make rent this month at least

donation links are here, please spread this

it's bad. i'm losing a lot of weight over this

help us out if you can and help us spread this into new circles

$130/$550

we really really need help for rent

One week left, please help us

made our goal! thank you all so so much!!!!!! you're keeping us alive

;w; can we please get some help with groceries before the food stamp season actually.. job hunt is gonna have to go on a little longer

yeah i reclaim this slur you can tell by the way i only use it for other people and make fun of them when they get rightfully offended

kinda wild how "you can do whatever you want forever" keeps being used for like...coopting the political language of marginalised groups you don't actually share experiences or marginalisation with.

just.....funny that

favourite phrase of tumblr funnypeople weighing in on things they have no right to and then having their followers harass anyone who has an issue with it

Really the kicker about discussing colonialism intrinsic to certain fictional tropes/archetypes/genres/what-have-you is that white bitches et al get SO mad about it. "Ohh so I'm not allowed to play farming sims? Wearing a silly hat makes me a fascist now?" I was just exercising critical thought but yknow what? Just for you? Yeah it does

& it really speaks for... a certain way of thinking about how racism works, the way they'll jump to this dichotomy of Allowed vs Not Allowed. Cause that's not really how it works. If we actually wanted to simply #cancel everything with any sort of Historical Context or Unsavory Implications it'd never fucking end, due to the world that we live in. Good thing we're just telling you to think even a little bit about the ideas you engage with & this suggestion makes people Really Mad

It's that whole thing of, like, being more afraid of being labelled A Racist than really caring about minimizing harm. "Oohh this thing I like can't be racist because I'm Not Racist" no ❤

remember if you dont vote for joe biden tomorrow youre letting fascism win

the thing is that subcultures are basically the adult equivalent of playing pretend (which is perfectly normal) but when we try to build a politics out of them we end up looking stupid as hell

the fact that they got bill clinton to go to michigan and just spout anti-palestinian rhetoric in an effort to appeal to arabs should make people aware that the dems are literally do not care about Palestinians in the least so you should stop saying "dems would be better for Palestine" when that is objectively not true. vote for harris if you want but keep palestine out of your mouths.

it’s fucking crazy that Harris’ stance on trans rights is “we should follow the law”. like aren’t you running for office girl? isn’t the whole idea that you will Make Changes to the pre-existing laws? truly continuing Biden’s legacy as the “why won’t anybody do anything to stop this?!” president before she even gets into office.

if it isn’t clear, Harris’ position being “we should follow the law” is tacit agreement with the pre-existing transphobic segregation & discrimination happening up and down the country. which shouldn’t surprise you, because a bunch of those laws happened whilst she was VP, and neither she nor Biden did anything to stop it. in fact, much much more transphobic legislation was passed during the Biden administration than even when Trump was in power. i don’t think a second Trump term is going to be like good for the trans community but i’d really like people to stop lying to my face about how much better the Dems are supposedly going to be when they’ve allowed all of this to happen in the first place.

hello, i have an unfortunate update on Mai's (@abuhamdasblog) situation. as you know she takes care of her ill mother all by herself and of her family too, among which her brother was also severely injured during the genocide

today she has told me that she got hepatitis because of the contaminated water. as you know there's barely any potable water available in Gaza and people are forced to depend on the little water they are able to have access too. now that she's sick taking care of her mom is even more hard. medicine is also very expensive. the situation gets more dire by the day. please have it in your heart to donate what you're able to or 5$ AT LEAST to her gofundme (1.129/40.000$). for people in countries with weaker currencies, her paypal is also available and they accept any transfer amount. and i know you all afford to give away at least 1$ !

you see it was my only literally ONLY job option to go kill children in the middle east. that was literally the only job position open to me. yes its the only existing job ever, and i was FORCED to take it. i couldnt be a waiter or a tour guide or a lighthouse keeper or anything else i simply had to go drop bombs on brown children abroad

please please if you come across this post at least reblog it so maybe it'll reach people who can donate, i don't know how to properly write the most convincing post to get people to share and donate but interaction on all my other posts for Seraj have stopped. what do i have to say??? Seraj spends so much time and effort campaigning for the survival of his family, we can not afford to let him down. he is supporting a family of 9+ people and he has helped other displaced people in his community many times. he had to take a short break a few days ago because of the mental effort it takes to fundraise online. it is not easy to depend on strangers on the internet for your and your family's literal survival. i'm trying to help take some of that pressure off him. i will make as many posts as needed until he reaches his goal. it's been OVER A YEAR since the beginning of this stage of the genocide and we cannot look away now.

Seraj needs to reach 19k on his Chuffed TODAY. This is extremely attainable, only $250 to go.

he needs to reach 25k by October 15 and i believe this is doable, but only if people actually contribute.

$18,750 / $30,000 (final goal)

verification and other details explained here

we are soooo close to $20 k- less than $300 !

I myself have been chatting with Seraj on instagram for the last fee months, he has much to worry about but is always so upbeat. Seraj has been trying to get this funded -for quite some time now and winter is coming. Seraj needs to purchase new nylon material for their tent structure as some of the current material nylon tent pieces have some holes in them!

Lets help Seraj get new waterproof material!

If you send me proof of a $15 or more donation , ill send u an a never seen before, unposted set <3

If you send me proof of a $40 or more contribution, ill send u a never seen before video ;3

we can help!

"ceasefire now" seems progressive but ultimately it demands a return to the status quo. ceasefire implies both aspects of a conflict must stop and accept the current situation. this is unreasonable to put on a colonized people, and yet even it has become out of reach in popular discourse. be brave enough to call for the defunding of Israel. not a ceasefire, a complete severing of ties with the colonialist project.

Removing US financial support from Israel would do more to free Palestine than any externally brokered savior complex "ceasefire" could ever hope to.

I know not everyone who demands a ceasefire sees it as the end but only an immediate step to stop the worst of what's happening, I just can't help but think we need to be more articulate with our demands

defund Israel now
