You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive
You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away
You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood
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.

The International Court of Justice told Israel to immediately halt its attack on Rafah. So Israel decided to bomb a UN tent camp.
We are witnessing beheaded children being pulled out of a a sea of burning tents. We are witnessing the bombing of displaced people in a humanitarian area.
I didn’t think we could see anything more brutal than the things we’ve seen in the last eight months. But tonight’s massacre in Rafah is unspeakable. There are truly no words left.
If you cannot stop the injustice, please, at least speak up about it.
Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.
RUSSIA BOMBED MY UKRAINIAN PUBLISHER?!
I'm trying to get in contact with my Ukrainian publisher for more information but this is what I've found online so far:
For donations I also recommend Razom to support more aid in Kharkiv, the city being shelled intensely right now
these five evac/survival fundraisers are really close to their goals! all have been vetted either by gracious individuals on here or mutual aid projects
Amal Abu Shammala and family (€44,692/€47,000) Mosab Abu Subaih, his wife Nashwa, and their baby daughter ($42,979/$45,000) Mohamed Farah and family (€9,281/€10,000 - only €719 to go!!) Nevin Himaid, her husband, their two young daughters, and 8 extended family members (€95,352/€100,000) ***Nevin is nine months pregnant and urgently needs treatment for rheumatoid arthritis in addition to prenatal/birth care Ruaa and her siblings ($9,888/$15,000)
every donation and share counts! it's monday in my time zone - my hope is that at least one of these campaigns will have met its goal by the end of the week. i'm just a small blog, but i trust you and i know we can do it together
with the massacre today, the situation in rafah is only getting worse and more deadly, and the same holds true with regards to the intensifying fighting in sudan's gedarif and el-fasher. please please please keep sharing and donating, some of these families are 1k or less away from safety. even if your audience or amount to give is small it will make a difference !
Help A Teenage Girl Evacuate Gaza!
Hi everyone, I'm reposting this one from Instagram, illustration is by myself and depicts Amal. She reached out to me to share her story and her evacuation fund.
Amal's situation is exceedingly dire. She has faced extreme difficulty accessing food and medicine she desperately needs. Airstrikes and famine conditions have forced Amal to navigate an increasingly dangerous Gaza, in which she is already internally displaced. Amal is only 18 years old, and has been forced to give up her high school and college dreams in order to survive this genocide. Please join me in making sure this teenage girl has something to eat and a future to look forward to.
Remember, the minimum donation is only $5! Even a small donation will help tremendously, so don't be afraid to give what you can! Don't forget to share if you can't donate!
(Disclaimer: I am not Palestinian, I was just asked to share this fundraiser.)
This is very urgent so please share however you can. Islam, the mom of this family in Gaza, is eight months pregnant but has a fractured pelvis and therefore cannot give birth safely. She needs a C-section, but the conditions to perform those no longer exist in Gaza. For months women in Gaza have been getting C-sections without anaesthesia. We need to get her out before she goes into labor, which could happen at any time now. We're halfway through the goal and even if everyone just chipped in 5-10 dollars it adds up quick!

There are dozens of instances of the IDF declaring a safe zone and bombing it once enough civilians have gathered
The International Court of Justice told Israel to immediately halt its attack on Rafah. So Israel decided to bomb a UN tent camp.

Alright, I will start with this one then - everything starts with the glorious revolution and everything starts with the night watch 🌸
like sorry i just think its fascinating the role of keel in night watch and the fact he is only PHYSICALLY present in one scene near the end where he is a dead body. like hes just there. dead.
and this is the only time someone grieves for him - for the real john keel!!!!!! vimes has a moment with the man who taught him so much and who died prematurely. and yes john keel gets buried under a gravestone with his name on it, a gravestone that is maintained for decades while others are not, but now with the time fuckery, the people who gather there every year to remember him arent actually remembering him - they are remembering vimes!keel. and the real keel is forgotten except by one man
