Aaron. She/They.

laurae, a small Native farmer who built up her farm over the last five years, was served a 90-day eviction notice despite being promised by the landowner that she would be given a purchase agreement and the farm would never be sold to another person. Everything she has is in this farm - she’s put thousands of hours of work into it, built her cabin by hand, and invested every penny she’s made back into it. we are fighting to help her get the money to purchase her land before someone else buys it and kicks her - and us, her tenants who had no access to land without her help - off.

This is the new flag, the old one was more vivid and in a z shape, but it's been made more neutral to be inclusive of people with seizures or sensory issues.

Each stripe represents a different aspect of disability:

Red: Physical disabilities

Yellow: Cognitive & intellectual disabilities

White: (And this is the key one I think) Invisible AND undiagnosed disabilities

Blue: Mental illnesses

Green: Sensory disabilities

SUPPORT PALESTINIAN BUSINESSES

while it’s important for us to protest, raise awareness, boycott, and pressure our governments… it is also important that we appreciate palestinian people and palestinian culture. they are more than just victims. they are artists, entrepreneurs, fashion designers, movie makers, writers, musicians, scholars—they are people. so let’s celebrate all that makes palestinians who they are by supporting their businesses and showing our appreciation and solidarity.

A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety

Hello, I am Mohammed Alanqer, married to Enas Majed, and we have four wonderful children.

We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair. I, Mohammed, am a father of four children and a husband to a woman who was two months pregnant when the war began.

We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.

I lost our sole source of livelihood when my tech startup, which I built with dedication and hard work, was destroyed in the war. My children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, have been deprived of education after their schools were destroyed, severely threatening their future. Amidst these harsh circumstances, my wife gave birth to our fourth child, Amir, in the midst of the war, adding to our state of despair and hopelessness.

My wife, Enas, lives in constant anxiety due to the destruction of hospitals in our area. I have lost my job and source of income, leaving me unable to provide for my family's needs and safety. Our home was destroyed by the war, forcing us to flee repeatedly and rendering us homeless.

We now face extreme difficulty in providing a safe place to live, clean clothes, and food for our children. Additionally, our children have contracted diseases like measles, and our son Adam has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis.

Our only hope now is to escape this ongoing nightmare and find a safe haven for our family. However, this requires exorbitant financial costs; the coordination fees for crossing the borders amount to $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, a sum I cannot afford alone.

We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.

We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.

Dear Campaign Verification Team at Tumblr,

I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your assistance in bringing back my voice and my family's voice to life once again. Following the deactivation of my old account, I am eager to revive our campaign with its inspiring humanitarian message.

You are more than just a team; you are reliable friends in challenging times. I am grateful for your swift response and ongoing support. I look forward to working with you again to repost the message and reach as many people as possible.

Thanks to your efforts, together we can create new opportunities and spread goodness in the community. I am confident that your continued engagement will help us achieve this common goal.

I wanted to share some sad news with you: my old Tumblr account was deactivated without my knowledge. I had wonderful memories and meaningful interactions with you all, and I found the Tumblr community to be the most cooperative and helpful.🥺🥹

I am very happy to be here again, and I hope you can help me in reposting the post I was working on. This post is not just words, but a part of a fundraising campaign aimed at saving my family and supporting them in these difficult times.

I hope, as I always knew you, that you will extend a helping hand and assist in spreading this message to reach as many people as possible.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Just Stop Oil: Is the UK-based climate movement in the pocket of oil billionaires (on jpost)

Aileen Getty is one of several heirs to the $5.4 billion Getty fortune, which the family acquired through their oil company, founded in 1942. While the company no longer exists today, having been sold in the early 2000s, the money certainly still does, and so people have started questioning if, in reality, Aileen Getty still has active links to the oil industry.

However, unless Getty is investing in oil ventures so secretive that there are no records of them available to the public, the opposite appears to be true. In 2012, she founded the Aileen Getty Foundation, which, according to the foundation's objectives, "supports a wide range of local and global organizations and initiatives that enhance the environment, our communities and the lives of individuals through innovation, preservation, connection and kindness."

Based on this, it would appear that the heiress to an oil fortune has been using her money to combat the very business in which her family found its fortune.

In 2019, Getty provided the foundational grant to establish CEF and has pledged over half a million dollars to their cause, citing her belief that civil disruption is the only way to make a change on the climate emergency front.

Here’s some actual journalism there about Getty’s involvement with the oil industry.

And from a NY Times article These Groups Want Disruptive Climate Protests. Oil Heirs Are Funding Them.

Sharing these goals with the Climate Emergency Fund is the Equation Campaign. Founded in 2020, it provides financial support and legal defense to people living near pipelines and refineries who are trying to stop fossil fuel expansion, through methods including civil disobedience.

Strikingly, both organizations are backed by oil-fortune families whose descendants feel a responsibility to reverse the harms done by fossil fuels. Aileen Getty, whose grandfather created Getty Oil, helped found the Climate Emergency Fund and has given it $1 million so far.  

...

The Equation Campaign started in 2020 with a $30 million pledge, to be distributed over 10 years, from two members of the Rockefeller family, Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert and Peter Gill Case. John D. Rockefeller founded Standard Oil in 1870 and became the country’s first billionaire.

“It’s time to put the genie back in the bottle,” Mr. Case wrote in an email. “I feel a moral obligation to do my part. Wouldn’t you?”  

The statement in the Guardian in 2021:

Fossil fuels made our families rich. Now we want this industry to end by Aileen Getty and Rebecca Rockefeller Lambert

and in comparison the Fox News talking point you’re all regurgitating:

Big Oil heiress funding ‘Just Stop Oil’ group that threw soup on Van Gogh painting

So in summary:

Getty Oil no longer exists, and hasn’t done for 20 odd years.

Aileen Getty had no involvement with the company when was operating, her wealth is inherited.

The Greepoint oil spill took place in 1978.

At this time Aileen Getty was 21, dropping out of university, becoming an anti-war protestor and artist.

She was an AIDS activist in the 80s, and has been an environmental activist for many, many years as well.

There are no public records of her currently, or ever, being involved in the oil industry at all.

Her foundation donates to many environmental causes, including Sea Shepherd, who are the farthest thing from phony.

They also funded the scientists who chained themselves to government buildings not long ago.

Fox News is running many articles about how they are funded by Big Oil, discrediting one of the largest environmentalist action groups out there.

The attack on the art gallery is because they accepted sponsorship from oil companies, which they say is hypocritical as preserving art is pointless when society is due to be destroyed.

This is the same rationale behind the attack on Stonehenge

So maybe you should think about what propaganda you are not immune to.

lam momen alostaz from Gaza. I'm reaching out to ask you to share my GoFundMe campaign or donate if you can. I am raising money so I can help my family get out of Gaza,🇵🇸🇵🇸🍉🍉🍉❤️👇👇👇👇👇

She’s also anti-Zionist, which has led to a bunch of idiots on twitter saying she isn’t really Jewish. The evidence? She thanked Jesus in her acceptance speech.

…Her husband is called Jesús.
