Long live the Intifada | Land back

my last post has been getting 1 or 2 notes every time i reblog it so i'm remaking it. i'll try to keep this short but i doubt it

hey everyone, i'm an illustrator that's been struggling with severe burnout and progressively worsening disability since 2021. i've been fighting to get approved for disability benefits since may 2022 and have been denied 5 times already. my mother is also disabled and barely able to work (we live together), we're in a lot of debt and are struggling to stay afloat. i need to pay my mechanic over $900 to get my car fixed, yesterday my mom's car battery died on us so now she needs to scrape up $309 to get it replaced. we are struggling to afford groceries, meds, food for my cats, basically most essentials.

i've been trying to raise money for my car repairs since october and my posts keep dying and i haven't been getting much help. i've had all this shit weighing over my head for so long and it's just making me so depressed, like i'm constantly thinking about just how hopeless my situation feels. i just really REALLY need help getting out of this hole. if anyone who has the means can throw a few bucks my way i would be so so thankful. it all adds up and it really means more than i can express. please spread this wherever you can if you can't help but still want to support me. it means so much! thank you!! 🌈💖

in my case it definitely helps that I teach kids martial arts classes at a boxing gym with a lot of women. so little boys just factually cannot tell me that girls can't fight or aren't strong or something, because they're constantly surrounded by proof that isn't true. also rules are very different in a boxing gym so if a kid is being a little shit I'm allowed to pick them up and put them in upside down air jail. you probably can't do this in most contexts.

I think the biggest thing is that they need to see men and other boys listening to women. they're following the example that's been set for that. at home maybe their dad never listens to their mom, but when they show up at my class all the other boys are following my instructions. peer pressure is real and you can use it to your advantage. I make a point to tell the biggest buffest manliest dudes what to do in front of the little boys. now this works because those dudes already listen to me, but getting any dudes to follow your instructions could probably work.

the best punishment is the natural consequences of your behavior. if a kid isn't going to listen to me, he doesn't get to do class. this works because class is fun and he wants to kick stuff and hit people with noodles. kids want to have fun more than they want to misbehave. as long as listening to me is more fun than misbehaving, they'll listen.

because these boys are learning this behavior from their dads, the dads also tend to be the kind of tough strict emotionally distant parents that would yell at "girly" behavior or crying. even when I'm strict with the kids, I never yell, I obviously never hurt them, and I always listen. they want to yap at me about pokemon or youtubers. it can be tough when they're really sexist at the beginning but eventually they will show you something that their dad wouldn't approve of, whether they want a pink noodle or quietly mention they like a girly show. this is the part where you simultaneously act like it's no big deal while encouraging it. you need show it's completely normal for a boy to want or like that. if you can, bring up another boy or man they know who likes the same thing. I always show off my nails to the kids and bring over the guy who also paints his nails. you'll probably get "boys can do that?" comments and I usually just go "well he's a boy and he did it, so unless his hand falls off right now I think it's okay"

for me, it's always eventually gotten to a point where the boys realize that everyone else thinks it's normal to listen to women, and that if they want to have fun they need to listen too. they also realize that these people and these women are nicer and listen to them more than their dad does. they notice how all these nice people that make them happy talk to women very differently than their dad does. when those boys yelled at their dads for being rude to me, I made a point to thank them and say that they were right and their dads were rude.

We are very tired ..

All that surrounds you is suffering, ruin, destruction, and pain.

I search for safety and comfort but cannot find it; every detail is painful and difficult.

I repeat again, you are saving the lives of a family in Gaza who have lived through war, famine, and displacement, and we are still alive.

I urgently need your donations so I can buy food, drink, and safe shelter for my children. Please donate now and don't wait until we are in danger.

I will not forgive anyone who is able to donate and does not.

I will not forgive anyone who did not share my post or offer even the smallest amount of help.

Please don't leave my children and family.

Filled with dog whistles and Nazi rhetoric btw. It’s just a Nazi talking with a Nazi about how cool and based it is to oppress and exterminate a minority group would be to “protect our purity and dignity”. Which is just Nazi bs dog whistles

We are living in what feels like the depths of hell... no food, no water, no medicine. Everything is gone. Please, if there is even a trace of mercy left in your hearts, help us. I beg you — save our lives before hunger and abandonment take them away.

Please donate to me, I am begging you, I am tired and my children are hungry

As someone who enjoys the wide variety of stories that these authors have given us, it’s disheartening to see how much censorship and targeting they face. I really hope the authors can stay safe and I’m heartbroken for them.

My only criticism with this article is the heavy focus on the ‘female desire’ aspect of Danmei, (even if that is part of it) especially considering a lot of these stories offer representation where other genres and authors don’t even try. Not to mention the incredibly complex plot lines and stories these authors create which it feels like is being overlooked here.

It’s very easy for readers to just dismiss these stories as a result when there’s a lot more to them.

However, this article is very important to read. And we should all be aware of what’s happening.

Please donate to Eslam family!

“My name is Eslam from Gaza, I’m 29 years old, and I’m a children teacher from Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. a mother of two daughters, Hanaa 5 years old, and Alma, 10 months old. My husband Rasmi is the director of 3 language and training centers. In this war, our house was completely destroyed and razed to the ground, and my husband’s centers were blown up. He lost his job, and we were completely displaced, and we are now homeless and jobless, My two young daughters constantly suffer from diseases due to malnutrition and water pollution.

Danger and death surround us all day and all night. We have lost everything and depend on donations to survive and, most of all, to have any hope of escaping this genocide and evacuating to safety in Egypt. The cost of daily living continues to rise significantly in Gaza - imagine that we cannot find the type of milk for our daughter because of its high price. There is no kind of detergent and this is the cause of skin diseases for my two little girls. We bought a piece of soap for $30! ، and detergent is 100$"

A group of trans women protesting outside Scottish parliament to condemn the UK Supreme Court’s bioessentialist ruling on sex, and the response of the Scottish government. All are wearing black pants, black tape across their mouths or a black KN95, and their right arms are painted red as "a mark of solidarity with anti-fascist feminists across Europe." | May 17th, 2025

“This ruling, and the subsequent EHRC guidance aims to segregate trans people from safe spaces that they have for used for decades without issue. We are demanding that the Scottish government stand up for its trans citizens by fighting this ruling and appealing to the European Court of Human Rights.”

One of the demonstrators, Sugar, described the protests as "a public act of grief, resistance and solidarity to highlight the hypocrisy of the ruling. If the Supreme Court can see these woman legally as men, then they’ll have zero issue with them going tops off.”

"Yesterday a group of trans women protested topless to condemn the UK Supreme Court’s ruling and highlight the hypocrisy of the subsequent EHRC interim guidance which aims to segregate trans women.

hey! we thought this might be coming and here it is. and it sucks! mass vaccination is one of our best tools at preventing the spread of COVID. public comment is open until 11:59 PM EDT on the 23rd of May.

you can leave a comment here:

Do you want public servants like utility workers and agency staff and park rangers to be able to get vaccinated against covid so they're not sick instead of fixing our roads and bridges and sewers and power grid and giving us access to public resources like public benefits and public parks? I want those fully staffed too.

Do you want teachers and childcare workers to be able to get covid vaccines so they don't get such e and need sick days and so they don't get sick from all the kids they see? I want a fully staffed school and fully staffed daycare.

Do you want families with little kids who weren't old enough to get a covid vaccine to access boosters for the older kids and the parents to help keep the little kids safe? I don't want to give my baby cousin covid at his birthday party.

Do you have any immune compromised people in your extended family? Cancer patients? Dialysis patients? Organ transplant recipients? I don't want to kill them.

This is a big fucking problem. Tell the FDA that this will negatively affect you. Public comments, whether under your name or anonymously, must be considered by the FDA. Get your comments in by May 23 at 11:59pm Eastern.
