My friend from Lebanon wrote up a really good thread on Twitter I thought I should share here, just to clear up some of the inaccuracies floating around:

And here are some of the links they provided:

Hey guys, there was a massive explosion in the capital of Lebanon today where the majority of my lives. Although my family is safe, there are hundreds of casualties and the damage to Beirut is catastrophic. Here is a link with some information on how you can spread awareness or donate to the relief efforts: https://helplebanon.carrd.co/ 

please consider donating if you are able or just sharing this!

hi so everyone's probably aware of what happened in lebanon today so if you're reading this please spread awareness:

the air is currently filled with toxins (nitric acid to be specific) and its not safe whatsoever so if you're lebanese:

1. please stay inside and close every door/window, the fumes are fatal and inhaling them could kill

2. if you have pets keep them inside at all costs

3. if you have to be outside remember to take precautions and wear gloves and a mask (make sure your mask isnt loose too) and stay away from anywhere that has pink/red smoke as its a remnant of the chemicals from the explosion

A friend of mine posted this and tagged my old instagram account, asking me to share it. I figured sharing it here where I actually have a following, would be far better.

Please remember that just because the government is giving into pressure and greed, that doesn’t mean that any of this is getting any better, in a lot of ways it’s getting worse. And even if you yourself aren’t being as heavily affected anymore, there are people and communities that are.

Stay safe Darling ones, and help others remain safe too.

We should be more pro-active or we’ll see more of such sad fates of honest people.

I'm going to stress this again: It does not make you a bad person for taking breaks from the news cycle.

Other blogs have made posts highlighting the important of taking such breaks, and people in the notes argue that doing so is a privilege and you should feel guilty for it. You should not. Please, please take care of yourselves.

Mental health is a serious issue. Humans are not meant to receive a constant stream of horrific news. Please, if you see someone taking a break, posting about other things like shows that make them happy, please don't try to drag them down. The last thing the world needs right now is more negativity.

Please respect that some people need a break from these things and show kindness to them. Don't contribute to the hate and negativity flooding everything.

This comment by @screaming-wren illustrates the difference between ignorance and breaks very well.

Please, don't get so caught up in everything you trample others walking the same path.

Be kind, be respectful, be understanding. Don't guilt mentally ill people during times like these, because speaking from personal experience, many of us already feel guilty enough for needing to step back.

We are sharing some of our favourite gifs each day this month for Antifa International’s fifth anniversary. Today: Nazi monuments being destroyed after the defeat of Nazi Germany.

While people are inclined to whip out their phones and film when they see something alarming happening, those videos are not always recorded in a way that can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding or to support advocacy tactics.

At the human rights organization WITNESS, where I work as the senior U.S. program coordinator, we’ve learned that video has a greater chance of making an impact when it’s filmed ethically and strategically, and released in coordination with advocacy and legal efforts. Using the camera in your pocket can be a valuable way to ensure the world bears witness to abusive policing and systemic racism, help hold authorities accountable, and advocate for the real safety of our communities.
