Clip from a video Sarah (16 yo girl suffering under Israeli occupation) made and posted on her instagram (before it was disabled) of her little brothers Muhammad and Suleiman pleading to you for support. Her new instagram is sarah_najjar2. There is no one else here writing posts for them so please if you come across this whether you share or donate your help is direct, tangible, appreciated, and necessary to their resistance & survival. On behalf of Sarah, Suleiman, Muhammad, Hanan, Zyad and myself thank you 💓

do you have any ideas about why so many students are struggling with literacy now? I know that illiteracy and reading comprehension have been issues for years and most americans read at like a 5th grade reading level but I’m curious why it seems to be worse now (pandemic? no child left behind?)

It is everything. There’s not one answer. I could talk about this forever so instead I set a five minute timer on my phone and wrote a list of as many of the many things that are causing this on a systemic level that I could think of:

It’s parents not reading with their kids (a privilege, but some parents have that privilege to be able to do this and don’t.)

It’s youtube from birth and never being bored.

It’s phasing out phonics for sight words (memorizing without understanding sounds or meaning) in elementary schools in the early aughts.

It’s defunding public libraries that do all the community and youth outreach.

It’s NCLB and mandating standardized tests which center reading short passages as opposed to longform texts so students don’t build up the endurance or comprehension skills.

It’s NCLB preventing schools from holding students back if they lack the literacy skills to move onto the next grade because they can’t be left behind so they’re passed on.

It’s the chronic underfunding of ESL and Special Ed programs for students who need extra literacy support.

It’s the cultural devaluing of the humanities in favor of stem and business because those make more money which leads to a lot of students to completely disregard reading and writing.

It’s the learning loss from covid.

It’s covid trauma manifesting in a lot of students as learned helplessness, or an inability to “figure things out” or push through adversity to complete challenging tasks independently, especially reading difficult texts.

It’s covid normalizing cheating and copying.

It’s increasing phone use.

It’s damage to attention span exacerbated by increased phone use that leaves you without an ability to sit and be bored ever without 2-3 forms of constant stimulation.

It’s shortform video becoming the predominant form of social media content as opposed to anything text-based.

It’s starting to also be generative AI.

It’s the book bans.

what did I miss.

URGENT: VERY LOW FUNDS!!!

Akram @akramaldwaik is only 18 years old and should have enjoyed his final year of high school. He should be pursuing his dreams, like travelling abroad for university!

Instead, he and his brother Malek are studying online in the middle of an accelerated genocide, having lost family members, their home and school due to iof bombings. They do this in the freezing cold and with little to no food! Please consider the stress of studying for exams on top of these awful living conditions and constant threats to their lives.

They have a goal of $25k for university fees, travelling abroad to work and support their family, and daily survival. Their campaign is only at 8% so PLEASE donate! Every dollar counts and it takes a collective effort to make a big impact!!!

@vilecrocodile is offering sketches and original artwork for sale in exchange for a donation to Akram's family! Please see the details here.

Matching for Reema

Reema (@reemagaza) is getting very close to reaching her campaign's goal, so I'm doing a donation match to hopefully get her there more quickly!

I donated $20 CAD (proof of my donation below the cut), but if you can't give that much, any amount is perfectly fine! If you can't donate yourself, then please share her campaign link with someone you know who is able. Reblog her posts and share them with others. Reema is currently at $25.5k/27k, and her goal is well within reach! Remember every little bit counts.

I need y’all to understand that every time that somebody who makes $10,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $30,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $50,000 a year thinks that somebody who makes $100,000 a year thinks that YES EVEN somebody who makes $150,000 a year is the real enemy

…a billionaire wins and we all lose.

And every time that somebody who makes $150,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $100,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $50,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $30,000 a year thinks that they’re better than somebody else who makes $10,000 a year

…a billionaire wins and we all lose.

Privilege and comfort rises with income, obvi. It’s not all “the same.” But please zoom the fuck out and look at the whole picture. The WHOLE picture.

[bllbabaggins]

the "new normal" couldve been respirators & rapid tests & hepa filters & universal basic income & accessibility & caring about other people.........

Hello, dear friends, how are you?

I’m writing this post while facing certain death.

I want to ask you, why have you stopped helping us? Is it because we’ve reached this point? Is it because we’ve reached €49,000?

I want to tell you all that I am deeply grateful, but as of this moment and date, we have not received a single euro from these funds. Even though we are in desperate need of it, I want to clarify that we won’t even receive half of it due to the percentage taken by the GoFundMe platform, the bank, and the state.

I also want to explain that the currency exchange fees here in Gaza exceed 30%.

We are currently in dire need of assistance. Prices have skyrocketed to unimaginable levels. The price of a bag of flour now exceeds €300, and the cost of vegetables has risen to insane, unbelievable levels. As for meat and fish, they’ve become like a dream to us. We haven’t had a proper, healthy meal since the war began.

We are now forced to survive on just one meal a day.

Let me ask you, how would you feel if you hadn’t had a proper meal for two days? Or if you were unable to have your lunch today?

We are now facing famine. Please, we beg you to help us. Please donate. Please share this post so it can reach someone capable of donating.

Let’s aim to reach €60,000 by the end of next week. I can’t do this alone, but with your support for me and my family, we can achieve it.

Please, don’t leave us alone. If you’re interested in helping, follow my account. @abdalsalam1990

Once again, I’m pleading with you to donate and share this post with your friends.

“we were separated” they were separated for over 60 years when jim was trapped in the nexus. they were separated when jim finally got free. they were separated when jim died. they were separated into two whole different universes when spock went through the wormhole. they were separated when spock died on his own with none of his friends or family.

hopefully they were reunited somewhere, sometime.
