Be gentle with people & ruthless with systems.

Or, locally:
Let's be gentle with each other so we can be dangerous together.
Many people in my circles seems a little extra crispy, scatterbrained, and/or prickly today. I don't think that's coincidental. Folks are tired; constant crisis wreaks havoc on our body and mind.

Drink water, rest, extend kindness. Sustaining ourselves is hard to prioritize, but deeply important.

you ever see a take that is obviously the fault of falling literacy rates because it is so drastically lacking in basic familiarity with the concept of words which you want to explain the nuance of but you know it's impossible to because of the aforementioned illiteracy?

anyway, open the schools.

Alright, y'all. It is Fund Me Friday.

In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I am doing a thread of mutual aid. Post your links below and I will repost them for as long as I am able.

Let's help some folks survive a dystopian capitalist hellscape not of our making.

Please boost! Thank you so much for the support you've offered me, I can't even express how much it means to me. I'm still dealing with ongoing issues with my bank and looking for work in the interim. Anything you send me will go to keeping a roof over my head, medical bills, and food 🖤
Hi Bsky! Restarting a fundraiser to help with survival. My issues with my bank are ongoing and it's not looking like I'm going to have my savings returned to me soon. I may even need to file a lawsuit.

Any help would be so appreciated 🖤

When you see those people in the detention centre being sprayed in the face with noxious chemicals for sitting passively, remember they not only survived terrifying channel crossings, brutality & deprivation in French living sites, but often also war & persecution in their countries of nationality.

This is yet another appalling breach of the human rights of people seeking safety in the UK, who are being wrongly and arbitrarily detained and deported under this policy. The UK is increasingly failing to meet its basic human rights obligations to refugees (and protestors, among others...)

Video was leaked today of UK police setting dogs on and using CS spray on people seeking asylum, protesting their detention under the "one in, one out" policy, inside a detention centre (in case you thought the UK immune from what ICE is doing in the US): www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Pay Palestinian writers!
In the spirit of making my needs known, I’m heading for over draft again. All of my funds will go to paying rent, leaving me with nothing to pay bills or buy groceries in January, which is my birth month (yay).

Any help would be much appreciated. ko-fi.com/soniasulaima...

You should care about the lives of all people impacted by US imperialism because they are people but if you can’t do that you should care about the imperial boomerang coming back to get you
If you think the violence the US government does around the world isn’t directly tied to the violence they do among their own people- here’s a short thread of US cities with mainly decommissioned military vehicles to use against their own citizens

PSA: twitter, X, is doing new terms of service that basically make it so that any comtent you share on there including DMs and photos is theirs and they can use it for "any purpose" including commercial use.

So, if you have a page you’ve left up and don’t want them there’s time to act 1/

"joy is an act of resistance" is not praxis and while im a firm believer that art is good for the soul even during hard times, you have got to be fucking real for a second and realize that drawing pictures is not gonna help someone who is being bombed by the US government

Today is Maha’s birthday. I would love to give her a gift… of knowing each month that her rent is covered. We already have 2 people who donate a small weekly amount . If you are in the position to do so could you join them by clicking ‘weekly’ on a small amount? Shares are also wanted & appreciated!
0/1200 I’m restarting Maha’s campaign for January 2026: 700 for next month’s rent and 500 for food, clothes, water and transport. Help single mum Maha and her family survive by sharing/ donating. 💕💸🍉Thank you 🙏
