Please help Belal, Malik, Khaled, Toqa, Auntie Karima, Mum, cousins, and the rest of this sweet family if you can I've spoken with them many times on video chat They're so sweet, I know they'd love to connect with you too 🥹❤️ It takes a village to raise our nephews, nieces, sisters, and cousins!

please help ahmed and his family if you can attaching his gofundme below in case his account gets deleted by bsky gofund.me/5bf27f07

"When they push, when they pull, tell me, can you hold on? When they say you should change, can you lift your head high and stay strong? Will you give up, will you give in when your heart's crying out that it's wrong? Will you love you for you at the end of it all?" — XTina

Reminder to the folks with uteruses: tear gas can really fuck up your reproductive system. Even minor exposure can offset your cycle and do some other nasty things to ya. I bled for weeks after prolonged exposure to tear gas in 2020. If you plan to exercise your 1st amendment rights, wear good PPE

the countdown begins godspeed to the madleen 🙏❤️

and that includes ICE and all the random civilians trying to cosplay as them ACAB

can't believe this even needs to be said but you don't have to be queer OR Indigenous to mourn jonathan joss's death or talk about it or advocate for those communities amplifying marginalized voices is important, yes but using your own voice is important too

this is a Pepper X level spicy take but I love to see it Dr Bohan always speaking the truth

I have no interest in shaming anyone for arriving late to supporting Palestine and opposing the genocide Especially Americans who received a propagandized education I don't understand all the infighting I also arrived late Didn't even know what Israel was until the war

that's it, i'm playing stardew valley the overstimulation is real and i need to self-soothe y'all be good ❤️

how do big creators do it? my linkedin post about jonathan joss has like 500 reactions and 100 shares and i'm totally overwhelmed by the notifications i also need better internet hygiene, i'm not honoring my boundaries but it also feels almost like a privilege to log off

Did you see the tons of aid that were destroyed at the Rafah crossing yesterday, while people here are dying for a piece of bread? Isn’t this injustice? Isn’t this cowardice? Isn’t this a disgrace?

As someone who lives in Waterford City... this really puts it into perspective. Free Palestine.

Drones are tailing the Freedom Flotilla. Crew are hopeful and "in good spirits". But for those of us who are comfy at home? We MUST bear witness! Track the boat: live.garmin.com/session/75cf... Join Telegram for live updates: t.me/FFC_official...

If the question is "how can this be happening? How is this legal?" then the answer is "illegal =/= impossible, and laws aren't force fields."

Ahmed's bsky account has been deleted for at least a second time Thankfully I got his contact info before his account was deleted and I'm in touch with him Please help this family if you can ❤️ he's so thin now compared to his WhatsApp photo... www.gofundme.com/f/help-ahmed...

Please help Maali if you can ❤️ My heart breaks for our Palestinians with disabilities who desperately need supplies and accommodations

it's a relief to see ahmed's account back but i'm going to reach out to him outside of bluesky since they seem hellbent on permanently kicking him off this platform i recommend y'all do the same for any palestinians you're supporting or in contact with

Jonathan Joss was Comanche and Apache and an openly gay actor. He was murdered while looking at the remains of his dogs at his own house that was burnt down. The killer yelled homophobic slurs before shooting him. This is the real world consequences of the hatred that the right commodifies

@jay.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app Please please change your approach to Palestinian accounts. It’s increasingly difficult to see it as anything other than a deliberate attempt to silence their voices.

Welp, here I am, ugly-crying over Dad at 7 am Again Sigh
