DON'T FORGET! Don't stop talking about them just because strike week is over!
PALESTINE
My original post is still relevant.
Keep educating yourselves, keep sending emails, and doing your daily click
Shut it down for Palestine (March 2nd). Look for a protest near you (it might help to search up "(City/State name) Palestine" to find them)
LEBANON
They are also being attacked by Israel. Here's a twitter thread of some of the petitions you can sign and where to donate
SUDAN
Tumblr thread explaining the blackout currently happening in Sudan and how to help
Keep Eyes on Sudan is a good website to get more information. They also have a section to email your representative (for US, Canada, UK, and Australia). It also gives you a template you can copy and paste.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
Twitter thread of what's happening in Congo with ways to help.
One way to help is to stop buying new electronics. If you need to, buy second hand (I've heard Swappie is a good place to get refurbished phones).
Friends of the Congo website (and their instagram) also has ways you can help (more emailing!). Their insta should have a link to one of the petitions you can sign.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THEM! No one is free until they are free!

in solidarity with the palestinian people and efforts for a ceasefire i wont be streaming tonight!
i know its short notice but to my understanding its a total strike in response to the un vote for a ceasefire being struck down by the us

actual genuine question despite the tone this will probably read as but do people actually think that putting things like 'you HAVE to reblog this' and it's ilk will get more reblogs?
actual, worse genuine question. does it? is that why people put that shit everywhere? i mean clearly people still reblog things with that but does i've honestly just been assuming that people reblog despite of them or because they're immune to the bullshit & don't recognize it as a problem; not because of it and if i'm wrong i'd like to know i guess?

ok based on what im seeing from cohost it actually seems like the best alternative if you actually wanna be able to make whatever kinda posts you want. so like for my purposes it HYPOTHETICALLY works best. its also pretty similar to tumblr in terms of layout though im not a huge fan of the design of the site? hopefully i can customize it more though- theres a waiting period of about a day or two before i can really post or do anything so i really cant say 100% if im on board
but if tumblr went down i might try to use cohost for my oc stuff, and honestly i would like it if enough ppl used it so that i could just stay on there, but if i have to use twitter to keep in touch w ppl so be it. i really hate how public twitter feels though, i like it better on smaller sites like here and, well, hypothetically cohost, where it doesnt feel like i could be subject to the public eye at any point.
so yeah ill tell you all how good or bad it is once the waiting period is over and hopefully if its good enough for me and maybe some of you we can make accs to move to, if the time ever comes. but for now im happy with my stuff here and i hope i can keep it here. if you already have one my username there is the same, tho obvs its empty. anyway im going to watch k on

Okay i have yet to see a post about this that isnt filled with ppl being Annoying as Fuck on it, but,
theyve found wreckage of the submersible, it imploded (thank god, thats better than a drawn out suffocation over the course of several days, implosion means it was pretty much instantaneous) and the us navy have revealed they heard a weird sound on sunday from about where communication with the sub was lost, that was probably the sound of the implosion, [implied that they didnt say anything cos they didnt want to jump to conclusions without evidence of a wreckage, if there was a chance they were still alive.] no idea what the banging sounds were.
I do hope rescue efforts are extended to the migrants off the coast of greece, and am angry and horrified at their mistreatment, and that the media clearly cares less for their fates than that of the billionaires on the sub.
also, while i have you here,
The difference between a submersible and a submarine is not that one is safer. The titan was a submersible that was unsafe, but that is not because it was a submersible.
A submarine (or sub) is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater.
A submersible is a watercraft designed to operate underwater, usually supported by a nearby surface vessel, platform, shore team or sometimes a larger submarine.
submarines generally dont go as deep as our deepest submersibles, but some can be down there for months at a time bc it is like. a self sufficient Ship. not all submersibles can go crazy deep, but to my knowledge, the only crewed vessels that can go that deep, are submersibles. (Alvin, deepsea challenger, limiting factor, trieste, fendouzhe or "striver").

in conclusion, I'm exhausted and I think that:
doctors should be giving way better warnings about the potential risks of treatment
some drug companies really need to do a better job of listing potential side effects on the medication leaflets
it shouldn't be up to patients to have to spend hours trying to work out if it's even safe for them to take a medication because doctors keep prescribing shit they can't safely take (seriously why have I seen so many instances of doctors prescribing stuff that's outright dangerous for the patient in question?)
