study of the love note

there is something about the action of folding that is integral to the love note. once folded, it’s charged with a furtive and hopeful magic, like finishing a spell

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

Mohammed between past and present:

From an outstanding student in all subjects, winner of many awards in competitions at the state level, and a vice president in the school parliament, aspiring to raise the status of his country and looking forward to studying in the most prestigious and best European universities, I saw the future prosperous with success and achievements, until the war came.

Now I go out in the morning to search for clean drinking water, charge phones, find food and search for humanitarian aid

How much I miss my quiet life, how much I miss my home that was blown up by the *I$raeli army, I had a big and beautiful house equipped with the latest technological techniques, but after the war all of this became a thing of the past

But you can influence my life directly, by donating to my donation fund or by sharing my campaign with your friends, thanks to your donation I can bring a smile and life back to my family and contribute to rebuilding my home that was destroyed by the *I$raeli* army

Support Landry and Agissons Ensemble

Landry and Agissons Ensemble recently visited Linda Orphanage in Goma, where they prepared food for the children. These things are only made possible by the help of generous contributors supporting Agissons Ensemble. Landry and his team of volunteers are working tirelessly to provide displaced communities with food, shelter, and medical aid. Landry puts extra effort into creating joyful moments for the children, such as arts and crafts or even small holiday celebrations.

Landry's own family has been impacted by displacement. He is supporting his parents, his sister, and her children. His individual fundraiser goes towards his family's needs. He also uses the extra funds to help others in need, like Ezechiel. Landry met Ezechiel and his mother through his volunteer work and learned that the young boy was suffering from a serious skin infection. Landry was able to use some of the money he raised to take Ezechiel to the doctor's and get him medication to treat his infection.

Both campaigns for Agissons Ensemble and Landry's family can be found in their linktree, as well as their socials you can follow to see the incredible work they are doing. Please support them by sharing and donating if you have the means.

Tagging for reach. Please share if you see this. Thank you

unfortunately a lot of the corny self help advice turns out to be true but the thing is you have to come to those conclusions yourself otherwise it just sounds dismissive and dumb

The Qamar 717 centres on a handwritten letter Salloum’s grandmother (tata) wrote in January 1967 to Jordanian authorities, pleading for the release of Salloum’s grandfather (sedo), a political figure detained in the West Bank for his role in the Palestinian liberation movement. “She travelled to Jordan hoping to see him, but was denied visitation. Fearing for his life, she wrote the letter in desperation,” Salloum explains. “It was filled with urgency and resolve—words crossed out, thoughts revised. But in the end, only the draft remained. No one in my family knows what happened next.”

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.
