700 only
I’m deeply afraid of leaving this place with no return.
This time, I came back by a miracle.
I’m in desperate need to reach my goal now.
Kindly share, kindly contribute there’s so little left.
I’m terrified that I might leave and never come back.

Still stuck!!! Just £700 left on yesterday’s goal! 💔
We are in urgent need of protection and a safe place to live. We’re raising support to help us escape danger and rebuild our lives in safety. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to security and hope. 💛

I stand with Eslam — her account @soma-eslam.bsky.social was unfairly suspended. Please email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz and ask Bluesky to restore it. Every message counts — let’s help her get her voice and community back.
Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email moderation@blueskyweb.xyz to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️

You knew Eslam The Artist when she had an account, that broke no rules but was suspended, taking away access to her friends, she's so young and responsible for her family trapped in Palestine. She has sacrificed her wellbeing to fight, you can help ease that burden. Donate. Share.

Eslam has been banned multiple times from this site. At this point, I can't help but see it as active malice. She's escaped from Gaza to Egypt, but the rest of her family is still in Gaza and needs help. You can donate to her here:

Giving up on people because you don't want to do anything to help is a really awful way to be, but also they will come for us too you idiots.

"we are each other’s

harvest:

we are each other’s

business:

we are each other’s

magnitude and bond."
"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.

Sorry, but fuck that.

The thing I respect about Greta Thunberg is that she understands most people in the Western world don’t give a shit about atrocities until someone white is affected.

So she’s doing what needs to be done to keep up the pressure.

If more white folks followed that example, we’d all be fine.

“Fuck them kids.”

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.
