Today, my family was displaced under heavy bombardment after a three-day siege in a tent. They left behind everything: clothes, food, and medicine. Please look at us with compassion. Do something. Participate. Protest. Donate.

"ohh 00s diet culture isn't back because of ozempic, you're overreacting"

idk i keep seeing previously size-inclusive brands remove plus-sized versions of their clothes from their catalogues entirely, even lines specifically aimed at bigger sizes are cutting their size range down and chopping the bigger ones. i keep seeing mean skinny tiktokers get famous because they said something rude about fat people. when i ask my doctor about weight loss (which my country's gender treatment clinic requires before i can access even preliminary talks about hrt), i'm immediately offered drugs about it - drugs which, according to the doctor, we don't know the long-term effects of. but surely! surely it can't be worse than being fat!

like why are people acting surprised? we've made being extremely wealthy the aspirational aesthetic to strive for, made 'being skinny and having a lot of time and money to stay beautiful' a not only viable but lucrative carreer for people, and then released a drug that is wildly expensive and will make people thin.

of course people are gonna make being thin the ultimate status symbol again - it more than ever before signals wealth and leisure-time.

like, do you think it's a coincidence that people are back to constantly spouting 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' again? and pretending being fat is a matter of lacking self-control around cake or whatever? as if people haven't spent decades trying to get these fucks to understand that actually healthy produce and the time to maintain your body are extreme luxuries in our society?

anyway my broke fat ass can't find pants i like and can afford because the size-inclusive lines i'd have shopped at previously have axed anything over a size xl

and like. i'm not even that fat. what the fuck do people bigger than me do. it's really heinous right now for fat peeps.

My friend is surrounded by the army

The IOF has given my friend Abed @mohmad5 and his wife @safa-abed seven hours to leave before bombing starts.

They are crouched in the rubble of their former home waiting to die.

The road costs $1000 per person. I have no hope of getting him this without help. Please do what you can for him.

Vetted #47 (his wife is also vetted)

tagging for visibility. (sorry if you get a lot of these and this is annoying, i just need to try circulate this as quickly as possible)

going off the reblogs on that post, @90-ghost got deactivated only within the last few hours

ahmed's blog was vital for helping verify palestinians' fundraisers. now that his blog is gone, there's so many broken links that are going to cast doubt on if a fundraiser is valid or not

The bombs have returned to Gaza. 

Two months of ceasefire was not enough for the people of Gaza to rebuild. With the lack of aid and resources, they would have needed centuries. Even so, in the interim “peace”, the Al-Anqars did their best to bring their life back from the unbearable. Birthdays were celebrated, and Khaled even got engaged. But now that the planes and missiles and drones are back, there is only pure survival left. 

Nabil, the patriarch, has sliced his hand open with a handsaw while collecting firewood to keep his family from freezing and requires an operation to reattach the tendons. Noor, the littlest, is not getting enough food. The prices since the war’s reigniting have skyrocketed once again. We, the people reading this, are their only hopes. 

PLEASE, this is truly the only way to support individual Gazan families. The Al-Anqar family is 14 people, spanning three generations. Every euro matters more than you could ever know. WE NEED FUNDS FOR NABIL’S OPERATION (€700), FOOD, WATER, GASOLINE, AND MONEY FOR THE RAFAH CROSSING, PROVIDED IT OPENS AGAIN.

yo who tf made Marina Splatoon into a real thing

[mudmouths]

"neckbeards" are a common facial hair pattern for people with PCOS and hirsutism and people who go on T and people who have a lot of weight on their face. It is not funny or cool or based to use physical features as a moral attack, and especially not when it's a common feature of intersex people and trans people and fat people and countless other types of people who society already mocks.

all cops are inherently evil

Hello, everyone. Today, I’d like to share a fundraiser from someone who reached out to me on another site.

Waseem is part of a family of five, and his home was completely destroyed by the war. https://www.instagram.com/p/DFfO9WJC--5/?igsh=MW9qNGFkM211Z3J3Zw==

This instagram post is from his personal account (from which he contacted me) showing the destruction.

Please help Waseem if you are able to do so.

Israel can halt the delivery of food and medicine into besieged Gaza with the flip of a switch and you still have morons pretending like they don't see the stark asymmetry between the oppressor and the oppressed.

Urgent surgery needed to save Gaza teen’s leg

Mohammed is in a crisis situation, on which you can find more information under our “#mohammed al habil” tag.

Mohammed has been unable to attend his physical therapy due to lack of funds. The condition of his leg has deteriorated as a result.

He now requires an urgent operation in order to save the function in his leg. Mohammed is only 18, and he is terrified of spending the rest of his life with only 1 usable leg.

The operation costs $4,000. Currently, Mohammed's campaign is at just over €17,000. This represents the total funds raised over time, not the funds currently avallable.

New temporary goal: €21,000 EUR

Need to raise: €3,712 EUR (about $3,828 USD)

Please help Mohammed save his leg!

NOTE: I am unable to effectively fundraise for Mohammed. We are urgently hoping for bloggers who will be able to devote time and attention to promoting his campaign. Please consider making a post for Mohammed to promote his campaign so he can save his leg!
