by the way ocean vuong is a TENURED PROFESSOR at nyu who dropped the most pathetic and cringe series of instagram stories comparing people criticising his verse for being cringe diaspora poetry to Palestinian poets and Edward Said while his precarious colleagues, undergrads, and grad students are facing arrests and armed police for protesting against Palestinian genocide on campus. Not only he’s a shitty poet he’s also completely spineless and tone deaf 😭

This is different from Al-Shifa:

There are images of decomposed bodies wearing what appear to be scrubs... with their hands tied. Meaning they were executed while bound. I will not be sharing them because I'm tired of showing our martyrs' bodies to people.

Every time you put yourself out there, despite the possibility of rejection, you validate your courage and willingness to take risks. Embrace rejection as a form of empowerment. Your journey is one of hope, not self-shame.

being so fr with you all we need to drastically accelerate anti-car propaganda.

we need to make it so clear to future generations that we no longer tolerate a world where you cannot conveniently go for a walk or get a coffee or get groceries without a car

New post, old one lost traction.

I'm a trans woman in rural oregon, and my partner and I just recently (april 4) had a baby in a way that was stressful, expensive, and a bit earlier than we were expecting due to a sudden health crisis. I have recently started a new job but it is unfortunately paid monthly and I won't get my first check until May 5. My partner had to begin leave early and although Oregon does have paid leave through the state the system to actually get that process going is extremely dysfunctional and we arent expecting to be paid through that system until sometime after their leave is already over.

We're mostly doing ok and yall have helped us so much, but we did burn a few hundred dollars in gas going to 3 different hospitals in under a week, not to mention incidental expenses we dont usually accrue like takeout food and whatnot while they were hospitalized.

We're extremely grateful for everyone who has helped us thus far and please, if you've already helped us out dont feel obligated to do so again, but we are stretched fairly thin for April due to these circumstances, so any financial assistance possible would be incredible.

Thanks so much everyone, love y'all.

Please, please constantly challenge and reject the narrative that any region is naturally more prone to war than any other, like that's a characteristic inherent to its make-up, like that's geographically assigned risk the same way an area can be earthquake-prone or hurricane-prone.

There has never been a utopia on Earth and nowhere is entirely free of conflict, but this disastrous scale of violence inflicted upon the SWANA region is a deliberate and calculated effort of destabilization by Western powers who want to bleed the region dry. It's not an immutable part of the contour of the land that its people must adapt to and live with. It can be stopped and should be stopped. These people were once free and can be freed again.

Every time you see someone hand-waving a crisis at this scale as "conflict in the Middle East" it is an abominable tool to dehumanize Arabs to the point where nobody bats an eye at the death of their children.

Examine what that phrase means. What is a "conflict in the Middle East"? What happens in Yemen isn't what happens in Morocco isn't what happens in Palestine isn't what happens in Iraq, but this catch-all term is meant to translate in your mind into "problems are happening where problems are always happening", because of course they are! Conflict in the Middle East? What else is new, clouds in the sky? Fish in the sea? It lulls you into apathy; Arabs are dying - but that's what they do, don't they?

And so three goals of the perpetrators of this violence are achieved. First, they wash their hands from it; they didn't set the place on fire, it was already like this when they got there! Second, does it even matter whose fault it is? Who cares about a dead brown child anyway? Who's counting the death toll? Third, since this is an unchangeable quality of their region, and has nothing to do with the West, why protest it? Why fight for them? Why demand anything out of Western leaders?
