Support our staying in our land❤️💚🤍🖤

I’m from Gaza. I have a small family, Maria and Kenan. We lost our home and my job, and I’m trying to cover May’s rent along with basic needs like food, water, and clothes. Any support—even small—or sharing this post makes a difference.

90% of the volunteers were wealthy retired neurotypical cishet white women. That meant that for basically every call these people received there was a pre-existing power dynamic where the caller was well below the call-handler, and the call was consequently handled totally paternalistically, never with any sense that the volunteer might actually have something to learn from the caller. The similarity to the typical patient-GP/PCP dynamic was really striking.

Most of the callers were prisoners, homeless, or people who had recently stopped taking anti-psychotic meds. I think many of the volunteers enjoyed the feeling of the power dynamic that was obvious in these calls. If you spend most of your social time with people of the same high social class as you, I guess you might find it refreshing to encounter people who remind you that you've actually done well out of life, only from a safe distance and through a phone ofc.

We also got a lot of trans callers. Hearing how the volunteers talked to these callers was a really radicalising experience. "Why do you think you're a woman?" "Why do you think you enjoy wearing women's clothing?" "Is there a sexual component to it? Maybe something that happened in your childhood?" "What do the other girls at school think about you calling yourself a boy?", plus the obvious constant misgendering and pronoun "mix-ups", saying, "Oh sorry, miss, your voice sounds like a man's so it's confusing."

People would say this stuff during training too, and the people training us would say it was correct. It's not like they were letting their bigotry cause them to deviate from policy, bigotry was the policy. I remember there was one senior volunteer who was a retired cis lesbian police officer, and I asked her about handling trans callers and she just repeated back all the same bigoted nonsense everyone else thought (at the time I put that down to her being a cop, not being aware back then that being a cis lesbian is no guarantee at all of an absence of transphobic views.)

It didn't take long for me to start getting reprimanded for having too much empathy for the callers. I was an unusual volunteer in that I had actually been in the same position as a lot of the callers. I was trans (albeit not out yet), I was frequently suicidal, I had been on anti-depressants (incredibly I was the only volunteer out of around 150 with that experience), I had experienced CSA and domestic abuse, I had lived through times when I had a zero bank balance, I had eaten food out of a bin because I had no money, I had been heavily addicted to alcohol and nicotine.

It meant I normally had some commonality with all the callers that I could use to make sure I was talking to them in the way I would've wanted to be talked to, i.e. as an equal. I would actually let the caller direct the conversation rather than directing it myself (which was the policy), I would show genuine interest in their story, I wouldn't tell them to hurry up because there were other callers with "real problems". After a while, I couldn't handle it and I just left, not because of the stress of dealing with the callers, but the stress of dealing with the other volunteers.

Saying "It's expensive" with no given context allows readers to substitute their own context. "It" transforms vaguely into "everything." This is a strange, attention grabbing way to express such a sentiment, which, in the early twenty-first century with wage stagnation, inflation, and increasing wealth inequality, is generally universal.

The response is a reference to an early twenty-first century absurdist meme, which describes the act of pouring river on one's socks (a strange, and often undesirable, activity) as "quick, easy, and free." Notably this activity is never described as "purposeful" or "beneficial" or "fun." The only positive attributes associated with this activity are "quick, easy, and free" which the meme will continue to insist on if ever questioned.

The response is humorously referencing the meme, emphasizing how "free" has become even more desirable as expenses grow. As pertaining to the original use of the meme, being "free" is not sufficient for something being "desirable" even if it is a generally desirable attribute.

i'm thinking extra hard about how we've ended up where we are, with trans kids at the center of so much hatred, because children are not seen as people with interiority or an ability to narrate their own experiences. we've decided it's alright to lock children up for horrible diagnoses that psychs throw around like they're nothing, to strip their autonomy completely and force them through humiliation, invasions of privacy, and endless torment by "professionals" whose power over every waking moment of their lives has no end. these things cannot be separated.

Happy Easter my friend, while children around the world celebrate Easter, here in Gaza we are starving to death and our children are being killed in cold blood. My firstborn was killed and here we are waiting to die from famine, scarcity of food resources and high prices. Make your Easter special by donating even a small amount so I can provide food for my family.

Donate 30$ to be able to get food for my family please 🙏
