I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

My kid lives in Siddall Hall and sent me these yesterday. First is what was put up by the school, second is the students’ alteration of the administrations’ cowardice.

The genocide in Gaza hasn’t stopped—it’s just slowed. Internet access remains life-saving, but funding for eSIMs has taken a hit. With costs rising and donations dropping, Crips for eSIMs for Gaza needs to raise at least $42K CAD to keep folks connected. Help if you can!
• disabilityvisibilityproject.com We have also been steadfast as we can be—in a disabled way. For over a year, we have sent eSIMs every day, from our bed, from the toilet, in the hospital, while waiting for the bus. With over 160+ volunteers, we have sent over 18,000 eSIMs and kept several thousand active continuously, some for over half a year, totalling more than 41,000 eSIMs and top ups. Thanks to all of your donations, we raised over two million dollars CAD and spent over two million dollars CAD on a rough estimate of 600,000 gigabytes of data, in support of Connecting Humanity and Gazans on the ground. • disabilityvisibilityproject.com With keeping eSIMs active for this long, and Canadian-US exchange rate at a disadvantage due to, among other reasons, the Trump candidacy, our spending has ballooned while donations have dropped. As a result, we are currently several thousand dollars in the negatives, and need to raise at least $42K CAD to comfortably send new eSIMs to Gazans again. We have been eager to keep all our active eSIMs going, especially users who use 10GB or more a day, knowing one single eSIM can power a whole family or apartment, and knowing how dangerous it is to activate a new one in elevated locations. The genocide in Gaza is far from over, it has — as Bisan Owda and many others point out - simply slowed down. Until the local Internet infrastructure is safely restored, we will keep our eSIMs active and send new ones when we have the funds to do so.

i keep reminding myself that this is not a sprint but a marathon (in terms of activism and life in general); i also think taking a few moments to pull myself aside today and take deep breaths legitimately helped because i listened to my body instead of someone telling me to do it 🙃💕

look at this found poem/form from a drone review!!
a chart of wind speeds where increasing wind speeds are described poetically, such as “the smoke rises straight” for 0 mph or “Umbrellas are hard to touch” for 10-14 mph

In case you haven't seen the videos, Palestinian families are STRUGGLING to return to north Gaza. Walking over rubble, with disabilities, with little children.

Help get them free transportation. Donate and share! 👇

Making sure @flaremagazine.bsky.social's first issue is all good to go for Sunday. I'm so excited & thankful. When I created this #litmag, I never imagined how excited others would be to share their experiences w/ mental health, chronic illness, & disabilities.☺️ I'm happy to give others a voice!

just talked with someone on campus who was masked! even if it's just for a minute, those conversations mean so much to me. it's nice to know that "we protect us" isn't just something we can say to ourselves; it's something we can tangibly practice 💖

From @thesameerproject about the situation in Jabalia camp. No other orgs present. Please donate to allow them to do their work and follow them on IG: chuffed.org/project/help...
Repost from workshops4gaza on the aid situation in the Jabalia camp, with part “we were shocked to find that no other aid organizations were present.” They continue to note that they distributed 19,000 liters of fresh water and 100 1 kilo hot meals to help sustain the community.
