side bar if yall r on 'me/tas' internet its time to drop the jokes abt how shit like pew pew and unalive ect is 'silly/stupid/dramatic' when it was a linguistic shift resulting from Black creators on TikTok primarily getting shadow banned for talking abt literally anything vaguely political (so often their own lived exp bc we live in a fkn society)
doing what we can to get the Actual Message message through is a win yall, and if self censoring results in ridiculous words being used in place of things like 'gun' 'murder' ect, then I'd rather that than the message never getting out in the first place.
(not to mention a Lot of the stuff having to be censored to make sure it made it past Algo was shit like white to 'palm coloured' and shit like that. pls have some fkn respect for the workarounds is all im saying)
I love talking to kids about disability bc
1. they often just Get It, and
2. they have 0 concept of disability as a tragedy or something pitiable.
I've watched kids get into an argument with a teacher bc they thought wheelchairs were cool. I told a kid that I can't stand for too long sometimes and they replied, "That's okay, I can't do cartwheels sometimes, but I just do other stuff then. You can sit down with me if you want". Today a girl asked me what the headphones on a classmate's desk were for and I told her that headphones are important for some kids because noises bother them, and she said she wished she had headphones at home, because her baby brothers make a lot of noise and it makes it hard to think. The idea that different people could use tools at different times is intuitive and simple and when accessibility aids are explained neutrally, kids don't see them as bad or unfortunate, they're just things that are useful.
Even mental disability!! In Kindergarten the other day one of the kids asked me why his table partner got stickers when nobody else did. I started off by saying, "Well, when you do your work well, it feels good, right? That's your brain giving you a reward," and the kid just right away went, "Oh, and the stickers are like his reward?" YES! You are 5 and have a better grasp on ADHD than most adults! Kids blow me away every day.
I am manal from Gaza. I am 30 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support my family of 3 members, me, my husband, and my young daughter. We are living in very difficult circumstances after the occupation launched the war on Gaza. We were displaced from our home and live in a tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer. We live in extreme poverty due to the circumstances and there is no income. We are no longer able to provide the necessary supplies of food, drink and others due to the insane rise in prices. Thus, my source of livelihood was destroyed and we live in very difficult conditions in tents. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in the tents without food, medicine, or drinking clean water, along with the oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, and daily traumas that everything causes. Around us and unable to care for our families, the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my little girl, by getting us out of Gaza to Egypt and building a new life outside Gaza or helping us get money to buy the necessities we might be able to afford. Asking for help is not easy, but we had no choice because we want to survive and strive to rebuild our shattered lives. We are very grateful for any help you can offer, no matter how small, because your help will go a long way in alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.
let us take a moment and grieve for all the lives lost. so many thousand people have been murdered by the zionist entity in the last fifteen months. palestinians in gaza have lost too much, from friends and family to their homes and livelihood.
this ceasefire is not an end to our solidarity with gaza. we will all be here waiting and praying for palestine to be wholly liberated from the occupation and watch her people be happy and free.
in the meantime, please keep donating to palestinian fundraisers. it is essential to support families planning on rebuilding.
alaa is a mother of two young children. her fundraiser has been verified. i request you to help her by sharing and donating to her gofundme.

I think the sky is trying to say something? 🤔 👀 🏳️⚧️
really fucking insane that ICE is arresting natives and shaving their heads while theyre detained but every conversation i see/hear about it both irl and online is just this terminally non-native cryptolib attitude of "haha where are they gonna deport native americans to? trump is so dumb 😏" i am begging you for the love of fucking god to cut the useless checkmate gotcha jokes for once in your god damn life, you cannot possibly be this stupid and believe this is really about deportation, this is about the ethnic cleansing of indigenous people that has been going on for the past 500 years and never ended, you cannot really be this stupid but i know the answer is that you are. please get a grip.
