Hello, let's be friends (or cordial acquaintances)

For those in need of help boosting their mutual aid posts. Your blog may not be blank and must have enough original content to demonstrate that you aren't a bot or a scammer at a glance.

Rules: We do not need to be mutuals, but you do need to be 18+ to follow/submit/interact with my blog. You can either tag me in your posts to reblog or send in submissions on themed days.

Welcome, to my blog. I am Az/Azrael a Tajik-Iranian nonbinary trans guy (he/him). I am dating my beloved @konjak-jelly

I talk a lot about transmascphobia, theorising on the unique position of transmasculine people and how misogyny and transphobia intersect in their oppression.

I'm almost always open to respectful discussion and discourse, unless you're annoying or a raging bigot who I can't talk to. I WILL be reblogging and interacting with people who I disagree with or are on 'different sides of discourse' to me.

If we're moots I'd love to talk to you but tumblr messages gives me a migraine so pls ask for my discord

I am also called:

Every day I wake up hoping my mother will feel better. Every day I see the same pain, the same exhaustion, and the same struggle to breathe.

Her illness does not wait. Time does not wait. But we are still waiting for the help she desperately needs.

7 days have passed without a single donation, and we are still only €1,260 away from our goal.

Please, do not let our story disappear. If you can donate, even a small amount helps. If you cannot, please reblog and share. One person seeing this post could change my mother’s .

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

Tired of repeatedly appealing, tired of waiting, tired of explaining each time how my life changed in an instant because of the war.

I was a pharmacist, living off my hard work and dignity. My pharmacy was my livelihood and that of my family. Then the war came, destroyed everything, and left me standing helpless amidst the rubble, searching only for a chance to return to my normal life .. ❤️‍🩹

I've pleaded so much... and waited so long... and with each passing day, I feel hope slipping away from my heart, little by little, until I feel I've lost faith in humanity itself.

This might be the last time I ask for help.

I want nothing more than to return to my pharmacy, to the profession I loved, to the life that was stolen from me unjustly. I'm not looking for luxury or wealth, but for a chance to live with dignity and feed my family with my work, as I always have. And I say this sincerely: I will always feel a deep pain towards everyone who was able to lend a helping hand, even a little, and then chose to turn their back on my suffering .. 💔💔

If you have compassion in your heart, or if you can help with any amount, or even just by sharing this message, please don't hesitate. You might be the reason I can get my life back after I thought all doors had closed 💔💔💔❣️

His name was George Gillette.

Those tears were not tears of fear.

Those were tears shed out of helplessness and the inability to do anything about it.

He was the leader of the Mandan, Arikala, and Hidatsa tribes, and that day he was being forced to sign an agreement with the U.S. government to hand over his ancestral lands.

The purpose was to build a dam on the Missouri River.

That signature meant that over 600 square kilometers of land homes, schools, churches, fertile fields—would all be permanently submerged underwater.

Gillette understood.

"What I'm selling isn't just land,

it's the very memory of my people."

But he had no choice.

If he had refused to sign, the tribe wouldn't have received any compensation whatsoever.

His tear-stained face remains one of the most powerful records, symbolizing the wounded dignity experienced by Native Americans.

1,000 days of genocide.

1,000 days deprived of the most basic rights of life.

1,000 days of displacement, living in the streets and in tents.

My friends, without your support over the past 2 years and 9 months, we would not have survived. We could have lost our lives because of the lack of food and medicine.

The war is still ongoing. We have no income and very little support left.

My grandmother has been seriously ill and has been in the hospital for the past 5 days.

My mother is still suffering from severe spasms because I have been unable to afford the surgery she desperately needs. I have been pleading for help for months.

My child is suffering from anemia and nutritional deficiencies. Because donations have nearly stopped, I haven't been able to buy the supplements he needs—or even enough food.

Please speak up for us. Why have you forgotten us💔😭😭🙏🙏🙏 🟢Multiple vetted
