Like no. He was an abuser and made horrible decisions, but nobody wanted him to die. He was getting hate for an INCREDIBLY valid reason, but we all recognized that he needed mental and physical help. He needed to go to rehab. He needed to get away from drugs and alcohol and improve upon himself away from the public. No one wanted him to die.

We’re not mourning the life of an abuser, we are mourning the part of him that we adored and looked up to for a massive part of our childhood/ teenage years. He was a huge part of how I was introduced to my love of music. And yes, he did horrible things and made horrible decisions and over the last few years has been anything but admirable, but none of us wanted this.

Maya didn’t want this. And everyone saying that it’s her fault can actually go burn in hell. She likely already blames herself enough. She likely already wishes she hadn’t spoken up about it out of the guilt that she likely feels. You guys commenting all over the socials about how this is her fault and “are you happy now?” Are actually horrible people.

this sculpture of salvador allende's broken glasses -- no tiene nombre (unnamed) by chilean artist carlos altamirano, is in the lobby of the venezuelan foreign ministry. today is a tragic day not only for chileans but for all latin americans who dream of a free and better life for their countrymen and for their homelands to be free of us imperialism, whether it comes in the form of sanctions or multinational corporations or bought-and-paid-for right-wing governments.

if you ever wonder why i'm a marxist-leninist and not a democratic socialist, why i think a vanguard party and an armed and militant proletariat are necessary, why i think you can't just go through the established systems and peacefully improve the conditions of the working class by winning a bourgeois election, this is why. this is why. maybe the people of some countries have that luxury -- but not our continent. salvador allende tried to do everything 'right', and from him we can learn that it's never going to work. the only question left for us to figure out is, what will?

From October 2023

The cost of living has risen dramatically and means of subsistence have become scarce. We can't even get drinking water or food.

We collect these donations to provide the minimum basic needs of life and help create safety and peace for me and my family who do not deserve to live in such horrific situations.

Please donate if you can! Support, participate strongly

Current progress: €3,180/€40,000

Farah (@farahmoo2) recently posted a goal of making it to 10K last week.

We now have less than 4 days to meet the 10K mark, and we're still only at €5,333. The last donation was made 5 hours ago.

So let me give you a little run-down on Farah for those who do not know a lot about her:

Farah is an 18 year-old girl who is the little sister of Nesma (@nesmamomen), who has been vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and shared here by @/nabulsi. While Farah was supposed to have graduated high school this year and gone on to university, her studies were interrupted by occupier bombardment in October 2023. When the biggest problems in Farah's life should be making it to her 8AM class or wondering why her experimental density measurement in chem lab is so different to the theoretical one, she is instead living in constant fear, at risk of being killed everyday when she makes the long trip outside her neighbourhood just to get internet to campaign online. She suffers from a lack of resources such as food, running water, medicine, sanitary supplies, and decent shelter. She suffers alongside her family, having to watch her father be captured and tortured, and her brother being severely injured during bombardment.

I have been chatting with Farah for a few days now and she is a lovely person. While she was in school, she enjoyed biology and physics. She wants to go to university to study medicine, but she hasn't decided whether to go into general or dentistry yet. Her mother wants her to go to Egypt to study, but she wants to go to Europe. She has also been disappointed at the recent stagnation of her fundraiser. She is, and I repeat, 18, and should not have to be worrying about this or putting herself in danger just to get funding! Farah is also uncomfortable because the place she travels so far to get wifi is also full of men. These conditions are not ideal. She deserves to be in school!

Please do whatever it takes to help Farah meet her goal. Do not just share here; share it other social media, too. Share it to your family or friends. Bug them repeatedly if you have too.
