people often cite concerns about aid donations to gaza somehow benefiting hamas. this is why i always recommend donating to anera.

anera addresses this concern on their FAQ page.

how i understand it - anera procures aid and then organizes and distributes it. i mean, if you're concerned about aid distribution in gaza, this is exactly who you should be donating to.

they keep a daily log of all of their activities.

they post videos of their activities

and they are vetted by charity navigator, charity watch, better business bureau, and candid.

I highly recommend checking their gaza faq

and their donation page for gaza.

Based on this funny tumblr post I found:

imagine being forced to do all of the courting in your relationships. now imagine having gendered expectations around doing that courting. now imagine having dysphoria that is triggered by those gendered expectations but still being put in a position where if you do not do the courting you will not have a dating life. text that trans gal first.

Land acknowledgments be like: I would like to acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the First Nations band we had to google before writing this an hour before the presentation on which we are learning, working and organizing today. I think it’s important to acknowledge the land because growing up as an immigrant here, I never heard the traditional names of the territories. I still don’t use them because, frankly, they’re difficult to pronounce and I don’t like learning things where I can be corrected. Indigenous people were talked about in the past tense and all the struggles they faced were in the past tense as well. It is easier to deny Indigenous people their rights if we historicize their struggles and simply pretend they don’t exist. As an activist, I would like to take this opportunity to commit myself to the struggle against the systems of oppression that have dispossessed Indigenous people of their lands and denied their rights to self-determination, work that is essential to human rights work across the world. I’m not going to invite any Indigenous voices to participate though. We invited one elder here to give us permission to guilt trip everyone in this room for five minutes, but we are making no effort to support the existing Indigenous community. We plan to continue ignoring them after patting ourselves on the back for this acknowledgement too. It’s not that we’re against adding indigenous voices, it’s just not the time and place for it. If anything, we’re for the further segregation of our cultures, because we feel guilty and uncomfortable at the poverty these communities continue to live in when we charged $100 a ticket for everyone to be here.

whats your advice for afabs who wanna be trans girls

try being serious

[catincootes]

being inside a slime or some kind of ooze is actually really enriching for adventurers and lets them explore new avenues of self expression so if you want to make an adventurer really happy you can throw them into one of us

Been pretty artblocked due to stress lately but I'm slowly getting back into it. Decided to paint something fun and whimsical to take my mind of things.
