This is your reminder that if you are feeling helpless and cannot be on the front lines, there are other ways to help.

People need to be fed. Check to see what your local food pantry situation is. Make hot meals for people you know have been out in the cold for hours on end. Emergency kits for field medics need to be supplied. People need help getting to the pharmacy, the grocery store. Help shovel your neighbor’s sidewalk if you’re able. Find a way to do something.

Build connections. Build community. They want us frightened and isolated. Refuse.

Apparent airstrikes in Caracas

2 Jan 26

forgot how white this website is and expected there to be more uproar about the US bombing my home country, nigeria, on christmas day. my mistake!

Sokoto state, a majority Muslim state in north-west Nigeria was bombed on Christmas day. It is still unclear how many bombs were dropped and where. Confirmed is a bomb dropped on a Mosque in Jabo, killing 5 people.

Trump has claimed that this is in retaliation of the "Christian genocide" happening in Nigeria, committed by "radical Islamists" of the ISIL (ISIS), and the specific choosing of Christmas day was to reify that this is a religious based retaliation.

This Christmas, I am in Nigeria. My family is majority Christian. We are without fear of being persecuted on the basis of our religion. So, what is going on?

There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria. Nigeria is a complex country that faces a lot of violence, exploitation and subsequent neglect from our government. But it is not Christians being targeted in our country. This insidious piece of misinformation has been dutifully organised by US officials for months and gained steam on platforms like X and Truth Social.

I do not believe though, that this action was done to fight Islamic terrorists or protect Nigerian Christians. The reason being:

Sokoto state is not a state with ISIL activity.

This is another display of US throwing its weight around, conveniently, onto the most oil-rich country in Africa.

Do not believe everything the US tells you about its foreign affairs. The US will gladly spill blood on the flimsiest of justifications just to continue gorging its empire.

Please keep love in your hearts for the Nigerian people.

tumblr users’ obsession with self-reporting (especially as a weird form of penance) needs to be studied

you don’t need to tell the world you still like Harry Potter because it’s your comfort movie or because your dad read it to you when you were little or something like that in response to a post about the harm continued monetary support of Harry Potter causes. you don’t need to tell tumblr all the myriad of reasons you don’t like rap under a post about how rap is often misrepresented as ultra-violent or overtly sexual and misogynistic because of racism. No one on tumblr has to know anything about you. no one has to know you still read your old Harry Potter books or that the only rap artist you like is Eminem. No one is going to say “oh of course you’re the One True Good Person with a Good Reason!” when you say that rap is difficult to listen to because of your auditory processing disorder or you’re only a part of the Marauders fandom. Just keep your shit to yourself and don’t embarrass yourself under other peoples’ posts.

funniest possible reply and its not even on purpose

It’s a good day to pay reparations. Natives may reblog with your own payment links.

Hi world ,i am called Nina a transgender living in south sudan refugee camp called gorom, I live together with lgbtiq members in the community and we face alot of challenges ,such as discrimination as we live with refugees who aren't lgbtiq ,we face attacks from the community people ,south sudan is a country that experiences war we live here while we are worried though the refugee camp is some how safer from war zones

Starvation is another challenge we face ,there is shortage of food in the refugee camp as we can't work in the refugee camp because of discrimination and fear to be attacked on our way

Another challenge is shortage of medical care ,most of the time transgenders we are discriminated in UNHCR hospitals by the doctors and other refugees ,so we find it difficult to go there for treatment, it will be better when one gets support and go to private hospitals where they will give treatment for money which is safer

Another issue is shelters ,we have few shelters with us ,when it comes to night ,some of us sleep outside ,we live the rooms for the lesbians to sleep inside and the little children ,if support is got ,we can add more shelters and also get a fence built with iron sheets for our safety

Please support us through our fundraiser, anything donated will mean alot to us ❤️, we need your love, support and solidarity ❤️ 💙 💜

I really do love my wife, I do. She is beautiful and kind and has been so patient with me and my fucked up past. She took me when I was still feral, tenderly washed the Clown paint from my face and said, "You don't have to live like this anymore." And that was that. I put away my purple suit, and my green hair dye, and I was rehabilitated. Its hard to tame a Joker, but god damn it she's as stubborn as anything. Other Jokers out there, there is hope. There is love. There is forgiveness. I dont even think about Gothem anymore. I wake up in Ohio and smile

everybody wanna be the most groomable palest lolita chokeable sexxxxy baby in the world ….who gonna be the Grown Women with agency?

even the common sayings such as “i’m just a girl” “girlhood” “just girlllly things” “im gonna be a teenage girl forever” in that aesthetic indicate that the only worth (along side being skinny and pale) that women have is being young, prepubescent, its not rlly a mistake that the daddy culture interlocked with it is everywhere too, women are taught in society that once they “age out” and are no longer attractive (by virtue of being young) that they have no value anymore, the fear of aging and being seen as anything but a Little Girl is sad, so much so that ull have grown women not just on here but all social media and irl terrified of being anything but “just a girl” bc it makes them feel safe to know they r not able to be discarded yet, tying stupidity purity and Goodness to being a young girl is hurting people, but if u point out how backwards it is to define ur self by everything the patriarchy wants u to be u get weird stares as if trying to force urself to be young and tiny and helpless forever is healthy

DON’T SKIP, PLEASE I BEG YOU.

Please, I beg you — if you're reading this, don’t look away. Every second matters.

My little boy, Qais, is one of Gaza’s countless wounded children. He once ran and played freely, but now he lies broken from the war, his small body trapped between pain and silence. His injury is severe and without proper medical evacuation, it could take his life. Every donation, every act of compassion can bring him closer to the treatment he desperately needs. 💔

From one broken heart to another — please, I’m pleading with you. Help me save my little boy before it’s too late. Qais is not just a child of Gaza; he is every mother’s child, innocent and full of life that war has stolen. Don’t let his light go out. Donate, speak — do anything that could bring hope back to him. Please… save Qais before his tiny heartbeat fades forever. 💔

PLEASE DONATE HERE

If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?

DONATE HERE PLEASE

please help Qais!!
