Sokoto state, a majority Muslim state in north-west Nigeria was bombed on Christmas day. It is still unclear how many bombs were dropped and where. Confirmed is a bomb dropped on a Mosque in Jabo, killing 5 people.

Trump has claimed that this is in retaliation of the "Christian genocide" happening in Nigeria, committed by "radical Islamists" of the ISIL (ISIS), and the specific choosing of Christmas day was to reify that this is a religious based retaliation.

This Christmas, I am in Nigeria. My family is majority Christian. We are without fear of being persecuted on the basis of our religion. So, what is going on?

There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria. Nigeria is a complex country that faces a lot of violence, exploitation and subsequent neglect from our government. But it is not Christians being targeted in our country. This insidious piece of misinformation has been dutifully organised by US officials for months and gained steam on platforms like X and Truth Social.

I do not believe though, that this action was done to fight Islamic terrorists or protect Nigerian Christians. The reason being:

Sokoto state is not a state with ISIL activity.

This is another display of US throwing its weight around, conveniently, onto the most oil-rich country in Africa.

Do not believe everything the US tells you about its foreign affairs. The US will gladly spill blood on the flimsiest of justifications just to continue gorging its empire.

howdy- i’m making this post because i’ve been trying to secure a stable job for over two years now. as real blabbiolers may remember, i was kicked out and cut off by my mom in 2022 and it’s been a struggle to remain afloat since, but in particular my circumstances have become critical recently. i’ve been doing uber eats but

im behind on two months of rent, utilities, car insurance and registration(which means i can’t do delivery right now and haven’t been able to since jan of this year), two traffic tickets (one due sometime in march), phone bill approaching, my glasses are broken-superglue for the moment :,)- my car is busted in several places and has broken down twice in the past three months, no groceries, no history textbook or campus parking pass, unable to take my cats to the vet for a checkup, and my insides are rotting.

i struggled last semester in college so i’m on financial aid probation and i’m still waiting to hear if i’m approved to receive my finaid package this semester, so i’m desperately broke with no recourse.

i’ve been at the point of seriously considering sex work again, even tho it was not a good experience for me before and would basically end my current relationship if i was forced to do it.

i really, really need help. my severe ADHD/OCD/depression and physical health have been extremely affected by my financial crisis, and i’ve toed around the edge of suicidality for weeks because it feels like there’s no way out. its scary because, i don’t want to die, but its starting to feel like maybe i should.

i ask that you b00st, share with friends, drop a dollar or even a nickel in my cup, please.

this being why:

a princess who doesnt follow traditional beauty standards (eg- bald, heterochromia maybe).

or a trans princess. forced to train as a man for her entire life but all she wants to do is to design and model dresses for all people.

or a princess with a chronic illness such as cancer or something? they could live in a time where the usual treatment didn’t really exist and they just had to put up with it without knowing what was happening? idk how that one would be done tbh but it would be a cool concept

a princess with a physical disability? in a wheelchair or something?

or maybe an LGBTQ+ story someone who fell in love with the main character but the character turned out to be gay/lesbian and the villain didn’t like that and tried forcing them into a relationship and attempts to kill the partner or something??

I know I don't be on here like that and all but I been struggling a bit and I'd really appreciate a little bit of financial assistance.... So I'm gonna need about $50 until Wednesday.

Please please please share I really need it to get to and from work and money for food. It's been a bit dire lately for me.
