reject the western gaze!

mutual aid means no hierarchy between givers and receivers

a new mutual aid org, Bridge of Solidarity, has been established in the gaza strip by 17 year old poet yazan mohammed in response to the exploitative practices conducted by some charities and encouraged by the existing charity-based model of fundraising for gaza. according to BoS: "the western attention economy and pity economy plays a large role in who lives or dies in gaza." essentially, people need to make themselves marketable in order to receive lifesaving aid; people who are not marketable die. yazan himself wrote about the damage this can do to one's self image, which you can read here.

after trying for a year to respect his own privacy, my friend siraj was also pressured into posting images of his son's emaciated body in order to gain sympathy from westerners.

we cannot keep forcing people to do this anymore.

here's a declaration of their values from bridge of solidarity's most recent post:

Our organization is against the Western gaze. We refuse to humiliate people. We refuse to force people to take photos. We refuse to force people to take photos with our flyer or logo. People will receive aid freely without being forced to pose. We will respect people's privacy completely. Our principles include autonomy, dignity, sovereignty, mutual respect, and mutual aid.

this org will prioritize giving aid to people without phones or social media, who do not speak english, and who do not have outside support or living parents. these are the people who are not palatable to westerners but who deserve to live with as much dignity as everyone else

as of five days ago, BoS are working on a water truck delivery

You consider every person born in Gaza a terrorist who must be killed. Even children must be killed in the name of Israel’s safety. Even hospitals, schools, and universities must be destroyed in the name of Israel’s safety.

Everything about the Palestinian genocide is disgusting, inhumane, and deeply frustrating, but what makes me even more angry is that Israel is seizing all this land with the aim of demolishing it and building new homes. Not only are they doing everything in their power to exterminate an entire people and culture, but they are also starving children and civilians, torturing prisoners, closing the crossings, and imposing a siege. Sami's family fled today on foot, leaving their clothes and memories behind, because the Israeli military operation will encompass the entire Gaza Strip in the coming days, and prices are skyrocketing. Please donate anything to save the remaining innocent people in Gaza. Please donate anything. One euro is enough.

Dear Friend

I regret to inform you that hunger will devour my family's body due to the change in the donation campaign and the lack of donations that will be received for the new campaign.

I think we might do a good post and make the link clear in the post.

How can we do that?

Please, if you can spare nothing, I ask that you reblog my friend Mohammed's campaign. I cannot feed his family, though I have tried.

Any amount is helpful. All amounts add up.

Please help my friend.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesn’t work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesn’t tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldn’t make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they won’t get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.

Even if you are completely indifferent or even negative on porn you need to understand that having to give sites like discord or tumblr your ID or picture to verify your age is really, really bad with regards to privacy and cybersecurity.

That stuff can and will get leaked or stolen. It happens regularly, and then it can be used to dox you, steal your identity, and more.

One of the most disgusting rethoric around the genocide in gaza is that that project is the work of a few madmen.

It’s on purpose, it’s so, when that genocide is over (because that is their goal, the removal of the palestinian people), when the madmen are no longer useful, israel can be rethorically innocented of the commited genocide. That the people of israel can point to the madmen as sole culprits, and wash their hands of their participation.
