Yo I figured out my password/downloaded the app to see if the Internet can be fun... But I think I'm definitely too old to be here. I don't love to mindlessly scroll social media when it's not so social No More. What's a guy to do about a) spending less time on device but when I do b) enjoy it and have it be not so isolating??

This weekend was very moving and much needed I'm feeling Emotional thanks for coming to my Web page (at Boiceville, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo73EFclYKf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jwdb09jb7wft
I am walking/running in UNRWA USA's Gaza 5K with Jewish Voice for Peace - NYC. All proceeds go to counseling to better the mental health of refugee Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. Support my efforts, make a donation!
HI ALL LONG TIME HAVENâT LOGGED ON
I have logged back on BECAUSE I need ur help (materially and... outreach)
I'm fundraising for UNRWA USA by participating in the Gaza 5K walk/run with Jewish Voice for Peace - NYC next month n Brooklyn, NY.
In light of the US Administration's decision to cut critical funding to UNRWA, I choose to show my solidarity with Palestine refugees by committing myself to raise even more for the Community Mental Health Programme. The trauma of the conflict and the stress of living under blockade, unable to leave the Gaza Strip, has left thousands of refugees, particularly children, in need of psycho-social support.
Their situation may seem hopeless, but by providing counseling through UNRWA, we can support their mental health, help them cope with their traumas, and improve their quality of life.Â
If you share my commitment to bettering mental health for Palestine refugee children, please donate to my 5K run. All proceeds will go directly to the Community Mental Health Programme and employ 24 new CMHP counselors in the Gaza Strip.
Thank you for joining me in showing Palestine refugees that Americans care, and for giving what you can!
Every dollar counts, and reblog, share, and spread the word!

also queer spaces: FEMMES are a coherent category of people and itâs more progressive to say that than women :) women are inherently feminine! misogyny only oppresses the feminine.
Melvil Dewey helped create a new profession for womenâand harassed them at every step of the way.
Adelaide Hasse was used to professional challenges. As a young woman, she struggled to be taken seriously by mostly male executive boards. She created a groundbreaking new way to classify government documentsâand was disappointed when a male colleague claimed the credit. But armed with a new job at the New York Public Library, a better salary, and an ambitious new project, she finally felt optimistic about her career.
To pull off her newest plan, sheâd need support, so she approached the leading voice in her field, Melvil Dewey, a man whose innovations made him a household name. He suggested they meet privately about her new project. Encouraged, she made her way to Albany, New Yorkâonly to find that he had arranged what amounted to a weekend-long date. Itâs unclear what happened next, but Hasse departed hastily after being taken for a long drive by Dewey, and later spoke to colleagues about how offensive his behavior had been.
The story sounds like it could involve a Harvey Weinstein or Matt Lauer, but it didnât. It took place in 1905, more than a century before the #metoo movement that exposed the sexual misconduct of Americaâs most powerful men. And the man in question was Melvil Dewey, the library pioneer whose decimal system of classification is still used in libraries todayâa âprotean geniusâ who raised himself from a poor farmerâs son to an icon during his lifetime.
Dewey is remembered today as an innovator who ushered American librarianship into the modern age. He helped invent the modern library, shaping everything from its organizational methods to its look to the roles of the librarians who were their stewards. But his pattern of sexual harassment was so egregious that women like Hasse dared to speak out against it, at a time when women were harshly judged for reporting sexual harassment. So many came forward that he was kicked out of the professionâs most prestigious association after an industry cruise in Alaska turned dangerous for women.
The pattern of abuse cost Dewey money and his professional reputationâand was brought to light by women whose careers he could make or break. And it was so pervasive that for decades, librarians risked their livelihoods to expose his behavior.
âFor many years women librarians have been the special prey of Mr. Dewey in a series of outrages against decency,â argued Los Angeles Public Library head librarian Tessa Kelso, one of Deweyâs most outspoken critics, in a 1924 letter. Yet his behavior was often dismissed by male colleagues, including Deweyâs son, Godfrey, as mere âdisregard of conventions and indifference to appearances.â
During the late 19th and early 20th century, Dewey translated a career in library supplies to a position as one of the worldâs most influential librarians. As editor of The Library Journal, a cofounder of the American Library Association, head librarian of Columbia University and the New York State Librarian, he wielded considerable influence in the library profession. But he also garnered hatred and was largely ostracized from the profession he helped found for harassing women.
Ironically, many women owed Dewey their ability to work in the library field at all. Dewey insisted on admitting women to the male-only graduate program in librarianship at Columbia College, and lost his job in part due to that decision. Dewey knew the modern libraries he needed would require cheap, eager laborâand the generationâs few professional women, who were determined to prove themselves in a male-dominated world, were the perfect fit.
But though Dewey championed women in library science, he also seemed to think that harassment came along with the jobâand his obsession with female studentsâ sexuality was so overt that rumors circulated he asked them to submit their bust measurements along with their applications. (He didnât.) He surrounded himself with librariansâoften spinstersâand insisted on entertaining them in private. And observers watched him repeatedly squeeze and hug his two live-in assistantsâboth women.
In 1905, Dewey took a cruise to Alaska with several members of the American Library Association. Its purpose was to unwind after a long ALA conference and plan the future of the newly founded American Library Institute. But for some of the women on board, it was no vacation. Deweyâs sexual misconduct was serious enough for four women to accuse Dewey of harassment.
Dewey was ultimately forced out of the American Library Association, an organization he had cofoundedâa rare public consequence for one of the eraâs many harassing men. Though Hasse was given the chance to testify against Dewey, sheâperhaps scared to endanger the career she had fought so hard forâdeclinedto do so.
As for Dewey, he claimed that âI have been very unconventionalâŚas men [are] always who frankly show and speak of their liking of women.â However, he stopped short of calling his behavior harassment.
Itâs still unclear exactly what Deweyâs offensive behavior consisted ofâand because of the mores of the time, itâs not surprising that women were either afraid to come forward or hesitated to write down their specific accusations. But his behavior was so bad that he was characterized, in his words, as âa hopeless scamp that no self-respecting librarian [would] dare be in the same county with.â
Fifteen years after he left the ALA, Dewey was accused of inappropriate behavior with other female librarians. Tessa Kelso, a prominent Los Angeles librarian, helped organize a group of women to privately testify against Dewey. During thatinvestigation, it surfaced that Dewey had supposedly harassed his own daughter-in-law to the extent that she moved out of his house. Dewey denied the accusations, claiming that Kelso and the other women were âold maidsâ who wanted to ruin his career, and the investigation was eventually dropped.
In 1930, more sexual harassment allegations surfaced when Deweyâs former stenographer accused him of assaulting her, including kissing her against her will in a taxi. Though Dewey initially dismissed the allegations as blackmail, the 78-year-old eventually paid $2,147âthe equivalent of over $30,000 in 2017 dollarsâto hush up the case.
Like many other powerful harassers, Deweyâs pattern of sexual abuse has been noted, but often portrayed as a side note to his life. Heâs referred to as âone strange guyâ or âcompulsive,â but his misconduct is usually written off as secondary to his outsized contributions to the library profession.
Deweyâs pattern of harassment demonstrated his dismissal of the very women he claimed to want in the profession. His innovations helped make librarianship possibleâbut we may never find out how many womenâs careers he ended or hindered in his quest for sexual power.
I see your âromantic relationships shouldnât be more important than platonic relationshipsâ and raise you âromantic relationships shouldnât be rooted in anything but strong, healthy, and mutually rewarding friendships anywaysâ
i havenât stopped seeing notes for this since I posted it and I just wanna reiterate: itâs really important that you donât get romantically involved with people you canât be friends with. Separating a romantic relationship from a platonic context is unhealthy. Your romantic partner/s should always be your friend/s.
