What is happening now in Gaza are crimes against humanity committed by Israel, taking advantage of the war in another region of the Middle East, and the international community’s preoccupation with the consequences of that war on the global economy and stability, which have dominated the scene as if the world has forgotten Israel’s crimes. A few months ago, the war on Gaza was stopped unilaterally, and Israel continued to violate the fragile truce, killing and wounding dozens of victims daily. I hope that the Arab League and its new Secretary-General, who I know is keen to prevent any harm to the interests of the Palestinians, will do what is required regarding this situation. The committees that were formed to stop the war were not only aiming to achieve stability in that region, but there were other completely different economic and political goals. I hope that economic and political ambitions and other interests will not prevail over the harsh humanitarian aspects, which are crushing the people of Gaza with famine and lack of shelter in summer and winter in the heat and cold, as none of the international promises made to stop the war have been implemented. As I mentioned previously, the war on Gaza was launched for many reasons, but whether it was right or wrong, this is not the time to talk about it. What is important now is that urgent action must be taken to help the people of Gaza and stop Israel’s crimes. Everything that is happening ultimately aims to displace the people of Gaza, and this is Netanyahu’s policy, which the world must not allow to be achieved.
Our family in Gaza needs your help. Don't stop talking about us, helping, or sharing our posts. Every little thing makes a difference. Please donate here.
Following up on that post about slavery in Ancient Rome, if you’re ever wondering why, for instance, Rome kept launching wars in Parthia and Germanía, there are multiple reasons, especially pride once the people of both regions had defeated them, but more than anything it was access to more slaves. The soldiers and civilians captured in these wars were the primary source of slaves other than those born into slavery. The entire project of the Roman Empire only truly makes sense when you comprehend the degree to which it was economically reliant of mass slave labor, particularly in its mines, on its farms, and in its mills and bakeries. The grain dole, the famous Roman welfare program which guaranteed grain for its poorest (free) people was in large part propped up by slave labor
Child sex slavery was also rampant. Part of the Roman obsession with always being the penetrating, masculine man in sex between two men led to a bias towards younger boys, and that’s on top of the already massive trade of enslaved girls forced into sex slavery. I remember reading a collection of Saturnalia epigrams (hypothetical tags you could put on holiday gifts to friends) by the Roman poet Martial that casually mentioned gifting someone a young sex slave from Cadiz. And that’s just off the top of my head. It was everywhere, and it was seen as completely normal
#I was curious about the 1/3 people being slaves figure #and how it compared to the US in 1860 #according to a google search #the percentage of enslaved people in the total us population was 12.6% #so just slightly over 1/10 people were enslaved in the US during the height of slavery #so every third person being a slave in ancient rome is truly bonkers #obviously every tenth person is extremely appalling but i was just curious #how the two compared... #this info might be wrong tho so if anyone has better stats lmk

So I talked to prev about this a bunch in dms cause this prompted me to go a bit more in depth in my comparison, so I’m going to add some of what we talked about to this post.
None of this is to absolve the northern US during slavery, but you cannot really consider the proportion of enslaved people in the US without focusing on the South specifically because there were very few enslaved people in the North during the peak of slavery and it was generally more populous, so it heavily skews statistics. At the peak of slavery, 40% of all people in the US South were enslaved. In Mississippi, a state with an even more entrenched slave economy than somewhere like Virginia, the figure is closer to 55%.
This led me to talking about Haiti, where, before the revolution, about 90% of the population was enslaved, and that figure would be even higher if not for the fact that about half of all enslaved Africans kidnapped to Haiti died of yellow fever within their first year there.
So much of human history has been founded upon inconceivable amounts of enslaved bodies, and it’s still happening today. The US largely outsources its slavery to the imperial periphery, so it’s difficult to make direct comparisons of enslaved vs free inhabitants, though enslaved prisoners still account for about 1 in every 200 people in the US. For an example of a state where slavery is more prevalent domestically, 60% of the UAE’s population are South Asian immigrants, but they comprise 95% of the workforce and most of them work in conditions that are effectively slavery.
At some point I’m going to put together a more thorough version of this post with sources but that’ll probably take a while longer. I encourage those reading this to do research into the subject themselves as well, it’s harrowing but essential to understand
💔 We are the family of Fatima, Akram, Manar, and Ibrahim.
Three years of war have taken almost everything from us, but not our hope.
I am Fatima, a mother and a teacher who dreams of rebuilding what war destroyed. My husband, Akram, was critically injured by a missile strike that severely wounded his abdomen and both of his legs. He urgently needs specialized medical treatment outside Gaza, where he can receive the life-saving care that is unavailable here. Every day we wait puts his life and recovery at greater risk, and we cannot afford the medication he desperately needs.
Our children, Manar and Ibrahim, deserve a childhood filled with safety, learning, and laughter—not fear, displacement, and uncertainty. Like every parent, I dream of seeing them grow up with hope instead of hardship.
Before the war, I was a teacher. My greatest dream is to open a small learning center for displaced children, giving them back the education, comfort, and hope they have been denied for years. I want to help them learn, heal, and believe in their future again.
Today, I am asking for your compassion. Your donation will help provide my husband with urgently needed medication, give him a chance to travel outside Gaza for treatment, and help my family survive this unimaginable hardship. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to saving his life and rebuilding ours.
If you cannot donate, please reblog and share our story. One share could reach the person who changes everything for our family.
Please don't let our story disappear.
With hope and gratitude,
Fatima, Akram, Manar & Ibrahim 🤍

second verse same as the first: i’m so hungry 🥲 i’m asking before i get to the part where it’s painful, so if you have literally anything to spare, please consider sharing it with me & my wife. we finally moved to safer housing but we’re still looking for work and starving in the meantime. gig work just isn’t cutting it where we are now. please.
thank you for your continued support. despite the reblogs on this, we haven’t gotten much in the way of funds. we can go to food pantries & banks for us but that doesn’t put gas in the car or feed our cat.
if you have anything to spare, please consider us. $20 gets me almost to a full tank, can anyone assist?
pluto (the celestial body) told me that it’s actually kind of upsetting how much you guys insist on her being a planet. she says it feels like you don’t like her for who she is and you’d prefer an imagined version of her instead. what’s so terrible about being a dwarf planet, she asked me. does she have to be a “real” planet to be worthy of love?
The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game.
I had heard of the whole messed up situation with this story, but I hadn't ever read the synopsis of the story before, and WOW
This story sounds like it could have been a brilliant exploration of gender and warfare and violence but instead it was attacked by people who didn't know how to confront a story that made them uncomfortable, and the author faced horrible consequences.
It's so important to be able to deal with stories that give you uncomfortable feelings in other ways than just attacking it. Being shown new perspectives sometimes has feelings of discomfort because it's an unfamiliar way of seeing the world.

Or to put it more succinctly: Men have been forcing women to do all the work since the beginning of the gender binary and if you as a trans woman say that you don't really like being forced to do all the work you get accused of being male socialised, because men don't like doing work. (You certainly don't get the benefit of the doubt that you were talking about it being unfair to all women that literally anyone else would get.) And this is seen by some as a feminist position, rather than telling women to stop complaining about having to do all the work.
And it's not just open transmisogynists who are like this. Everyone does this. Everyone scrutinises trans women and thinks the absolute worst of anything we do. A cis woman or someone AFAB complaining is normal, EVEN if they word it weirdly. A trans woman could word something perfectly and have academic citations for it and still be accused of being a newcomer to oppression by someone labelling themselves an ally to us. You are not immune to seeing the worst in us. It's not just terfs. It's everyone. It's friends and family and the people we love and date. It's other trans women even. We are scrutinised as "male" in a way men never are. Because it's not actually about men. It's about having a way to force women to do all the fucking work! Especially for people who usually don't get that kinda power over women.
"Women you can force to do the dishes. Women you can force to do all the dishes." or something like that.
even if you intellectually know that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it's another thing to actually look at the numbers
the bombings ostensibly served a military purpose. but if you look at the number of soldiers killed versus the number of civilians, it's absurd. if it was a military operation in any sense, then killing 10,000 soldiers and upwards of 160,000 civilians is disgusting. 150 soldiers in Nagasaki, compared to upwards of 80,000 dead. even if it's recognized as one of the worst crimes against humanity ever committed, that still feels too soft. every single person involved in this decision got off too easily. from the pilot to the president, nobody involved in the process should have been allowed to show their face in public without being associated with the deaths of at least 150,000 civilians
Saying that kinks are a "white person thing" is a common tactic to appeal to the masses of fandomite worms who's only understanding of racial politics is some harebrained oversimplification of usamerican racial politics and will obey like stupid dogs when you arbitrary assign something to whiteness. There is a very insidious flipside of these kinds of statements that participating in kink means you cannot be racialized (which does get employed in practice when these demons accuse people of being white for ???).
You usually see this kind of tactic employed by sexually reactionary racialized users who have the "position" to pull this tactic for social gain among worthless fandomites but I'm glad it works just as well if a cracker does it too.
bought my first vibrator today and i wanted to know if like those toy wipes they sell at the counters are worth it cuz like ik some people say soap and water works just fine but likeeeeee does that actually or are the antibacterial wipes worth the $5 per pack google is giving mixed results
the best way to clean your sexy toys depends heavily on what they're made of, but you basically never need to shell out for anything marketer specifically as a sex toy cleaner. you can read more about the proper ways to clean different types of toys here:
Cleaning and storing your sex toy may be the last thing on your mind after getting off, but skipping it could affect your health and your to

In 1962, during Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's peace mission to Japan, the children of Hiroshima presented him with a garland of peace cranes. His wife, Valentina Gagarina, said the gift and Sadako's story deeply moved the cosmonaut, a father of two daughters.
Two-year-old Sasaki Sadako and her mother miraculously survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, but the rescue cannot be called happy: no one could predict the terrible consequences of radiation exposure then.
Ten years later, Sadako fell ill. Diagnosed with leukemia, then known as "atomic bomb disease," she was given a year to live. Legend says that in the hospital, Sadako began folding origami cranes, a Japanese symbol of longevity and peace. According to Japanese lore, folding 1000 cranes grants any wish. It's uncertain if she reached this number before her death on October 25, 1955, at the age of 12.
