So, this is the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza and today is Friday, and I'm sick.

I can't walk, like, I took maybe three pills of different painkillers just to walk from Nasser Hospital- they don't have any medicine- to the Jordanian Hospital. I have a stomach ache, I threw up, I have an ache in my back and my leg - And they told me at the hospital that today is a vacation, it's a break.

So, now allow me to ask a question; Why is there a Jordanian Hospital when they are not dealing with any injuries? They are just dealing with some diseases, acting like a pharmacy, or a very tiny medical center, not working on Friday, so What am I going to do? And what are they doing here?

They put a table at the entrance and prevent people from entering the place. Just say it: It's a pharmacy, not a hospital.

You are not dealing with anything, any emergency, and now, I have a stomach ache, I can't eat anything, I just throw up everything and I have severe pain in my back, in my leg and I don't have painkillers- I don't have any medicine.

Thank you, thanks Jordan. Thanks, Arabs, Thanks World.

Girls are losing access to education all around the world due to period poverty.

1 in 4 teens in the US has missed class because they lacked access to menstrual products.

850,000 Afghan girls have been prevented from going to school since the Taliban took over (NPR).

That’s why I’m fundraising for The Pad Project’s Back to School campaign to help girls continue their education by providing desperately needed period products.

$25 provides 100 pads to US students

$50 provides 200 pads to US students

$100 supports 25 US students for a school year

$290 supports a full year of university for 1 woman in Afghanistan

$500 supports an entire 5th grade class in the US

$1,200 funds 1 woman in Afghanistan earning a bachelor’s degree

My goal is raise at least $100 dollars to support 25 girls in the U.S for this upcoming school year. If every single one of my followers donates just a dollar, we can raise over $300! You can donate by clicking the link below. Anything helps!

Following months of citywide protests, Chicago becomes largest U.S. city to call for Gaza ceasefire

“For the past three months I have watched my Palestinian blood be diminished in every way. Yet, what helps our cause and continues to persist is the Palestinian liberation movement,” Orland Park resident Mufid Isa told Mondoweiss. “What we just did in Chicago was a chapter in our history."

Notes on "Empire of Care : Nursing and Migration in Filipino American History"

Previous post:

Filipino nurse Patrocinio Montellano was a nurse who was interviewed for this book

Art by Filipino-American artist MYSTERIOUSxBEAUTY

She was an accomplished woman, furthering her nursing career in the US by taking post-graduate courses.

She eventually secured deployment through the aid of Americans such as William Musgrave, former director of the Philippine general hospital.

In 1924, she returned to the Philippines, becoming the field representative and nurse supervisor of the Philippine chapter of the American red cross.

None of this would have been able to happen had it been a few decades earlier - when the Philippines was under the colonial rule of the Spanish.

Under Spanish rule, Filipinos were only offered unequal opportunities rooted in gender by the education system implemented by the Spanish at the time.

Because of this, very few Filipino girls were permitted primary education given to them by Spanish charitable institutions.

Women were outright excluded from the University of Santo Tomas - the Spanish university in the Philippines

This was until 1879, when a school of midwifery was opened

When it came to specialised health care jobs, only midwifery was allowed for Filipino women to enter into

Traditionally, Filipino women would take on the role of the caretaker at home

Filipinos would also rely on indigenous healers

On the other hand, in Spanish medical institutions, usually Spanish Friars and Priests were the caretakers.

Sisters of Charity, along with a European nurse, arrived in the Philippines in 1862 to work at the San Juan de Dios hospital.

Spanish surgeons and male Filipino physicians would practice both generalised and specialised forms of healthcare.

In the 19th century, elite Filipino men (called ilustrados) were encouraged by the Spanish government to further their education in European countries.

Jose Rizal - a Filipino national hero and ilustrado was a doctor of medicine himself.

Filipino women were outside banned from these opportunities

US colonialism did implement some changes of opportunities that Filipino women were offered - as Montellano's story reveals.

The opportunities that were now offered were nursing, education - and travel opportunities to the U.S

These opportunities for both work and travel were closely linked.

Montellano's account demonstrates how like clockwork, the beginning of the U.S colonial rule marked significant transnational relations between the U.S and Filipino women

Montellano's socioeconomic and geographic mobility was enabled by these relations

Montellano was aided by American physicians and nurses in order to reach her employment goals in the United States

Montellano's experience in the US helped her secure an advanced nursing career upon her return to the Philippines.

Montellano notes that it was also her sheer determination and courage that helped her progress her career - even against her father's wishes.

The literature on women and imperialism challenges the perception of imperialism as masculine.

American women's participation in U.S. colonialism in the Philippines has been overlooked.

U.S. colonial nursing played a crucial role in American modernity and American women viewing themselves as civilised.

Filipino nurses' perspectives reveal the role of Filipinos and Americans in Philippine nursing.

Nursing and medicine legitimised U.S. colonial agendas and social hierarchies.

Western medicine is often seen as a humanitarian effort, making it difficult to critique its exploitative effects

Reynaldo Ileto noted that it was even difficult for the most nationalist Filipino writers to criticise the US sanitary regime as it saved countless Filipino lives.

Reynaldo Ileto, Filipino historian

The introduction of professional nursing in the Philippines had both liberating and exploitative aspects.

This chapter highlights a period of transnational mobility in Filipino American history.

American and Filipino nurses shaped Philippine nursing through travel, teaching, training, and practice.

This multidirectional mobility has been overlooked in Asian American histories.

The formation of a gendered labor force laid the foundation for significant migrations of Filipino nurses later in the twentieth century.

As a resident Canadian who also woke up one day and found that my windows were colored a bright, hazy orange; -The Eastern parts of the U.S are the most heavily affected areas right now. If your skies are orange or yellow I do not suggest going outside -Because if you breath the smoke it can very slowly kill you -If you need to for some reason (your boss is stupid, school board is stupid, etc), wear a mask, try to take public transport (not your car, it can increase the emission levels), and try not to run around or do any sporting activities -People living in the South also have a high chance of getting the smoke blown their way -Anything above a 7 on the AQHI is a health hazard -If you have respiratory conditions or a compromised immune system do not go outside unless it's for emergencies -If you go outside and you cannot see the highest building in your town/city/area the air quality is too bad for you to go outside

"I come from the village. I love nature. I don't need all sorts of fancy things, cars, that, the other... I have a nice car, a Mercedes. And also an old El Camino truck that I'm crazy about. How great it is sometimes to get in this truck and drive to the hills near where I live, near Vegas, and even bring a camera with me! It's a real paradise for me to admire nature and photograph all kinds of birds and animals."

No anah! Nanh Jugbe, mo klah yesna!

Hello there! I’m Dan, Kru/klao name Jugbe, and this is blog is my virtual journal on my journey to reconnect with my indigenous West African Heritage!

My father’s family is Kru/klao by tribe, and my mother is Bassa, Americo-Liberian (aka Congo), with some Kru/klao. From a young age, I’ve been raised in community here in the states, despite some of the losses I’ve had in connection. However, as I’m heading off to college soon, I want to take this year as my opportunity to learn my language, learn how to prepare more food, and build my sense of community.

This blog is also a tribute to my Great-Grandmother, "Aunty", (the display name translates to “I love you great-grandma”) who has dedicated her time to teaching me Klao, a language belonging to one of sixteen indigenous tribes from Liberia. It's also a love letter and journey to growing closer to my culture and becoming closer to my communities. Here, I'll track my progress while also posting about being Klao and Liberian/West African in general. If that's your kinda thing, feel free to stick around! Currently, I reside in Tsalaguwetiyi, Cherokee/Tsalagi land. I hope to connect not only to the community of my family’s people, but also the community around me and support my indigenous siblings worldwide!

Until then!

Na pomu trawah yo kay kpah wuloh!

1/6/2023 Note: Post was updated to reflect more accurate identity, as the term "Kru" and its etymology are contentious. My grandpa refers to us as "kru," though my grandmother revelaed the word for us in our language is "Klah" more similar to the revised anthropological "Klao".

‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ Day 121: Israel kills more than 1,000 Palestinians since ICJ ruling; U.S. bombs Yemen

Israeli forces bomb Rafah, where thousands of Palestinians are displaced in shelters near the Egyptian border, as an Israeli minister wishes to “encourage voluntary emigration” from Gaza. In West Bank, settlers attack Palestinian villages.
