Chel snakehead (also known as Channa amphibious)

​A rare fish species thought to be extinct for 85 tears was just rediscovered in India. The last sighting of the Chel snakehead (also known as Channa amphibious) was recorded from specimens collected between 1918 and 1933 in the Himalayan region of India, leading scientists to believe the species had died out. “Commonly known as the Chel Snakehead, this large and vibrant species is distinguished by chrome-yellow to orange stripes, a bright neon patch beneath the eye, and the highest number of lateral-line scales among all snakeheads of the Gachua group,” says Thackeray Wildlife Foundation.

September, 2023 - A Dutch white supremacist in Utrecht had the misfortune of running into an antifascist wandelclub* while wearing his "White Lives Matter" t-shirt, and had to go home shirtless. [video] *Wandelclubs are antifascist groups who go for regular walks around their areas, taking down fascist propaganda and spreading antifa stickers and posters, and confronting any fascists they meet on the way. Started as a way to have a regular social antifascist activity that doesn't involve hanging around in a bar.

Hey guys, Noor Ayman's family's fundraiser has been verified by Ahmed (90-ghost) and Mohammed Ayesh independently of each other! She's been vetted since September of last year but is still a ways away from her goal (#423 on our list). Here's where you can help:

I don't have anything more articulate to say about the world right now, but I would urge anyone who is not currently involved in organizing to get involved in something.

The current global trend towards to authoritarianism and fascism is not new and there have been people who have been resisting for years. You can find those people and you can learn from them and you can build a community based around liberation and justice. And once you get involved in those communities, building something bigger and better gets easier.

But a lot of those people who have been organizing for a while are busy and burned out and already doing all they can, so we need people to start to get involved, to take on part of the work.

And there are so many things you can do! Look for a local pro-Palestine organizing group near you, or find your local abortion fund or immigrant's rights org or bail fund or an environmental organization or LGBTQ+ center. Find other people doing the work you care about. Find ways to plug in on issues that you care about in ways that work for you and feel sustainable. We can't all do everything, but the more people who are organizing and building connections, the stronger we are and the more we can build a better world than the one that has been forced on us.

I have no great activist wisdom or theory or whatever, but please, if you can, find people and do something.

I am so serious when I say that now is the time to take your activism offline. I am not spending the next four years squabbling on social media or getting woke points by reblogging posts that my followers already agree with. There are real places in your offline community where you can do good if you seek them out

Update (70)

The Israeli occupation's decision to close the Gaza Strip crossings quickly affected the lives of 2.4 million Palestinians, who have not yet recovered from a devastating war that has ravaged them for 15 months.

This crime, which represents a disregard for the international community and international humanitarian law, and a blatant violation of the international charter of human rights, which stipulates that water, food, medicine and shelter are basic rights that cannot be violated, in addition to its use as a means of cheap blackmail to achieve political goals at the expense of the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people.

This crisis poses a risk to the elderly and children in my family who suffer from malnutrition, as we cannot afford to buy basic food after the skyrocketing prices in the markets.

The goal is to reach €4000 to be able to buy only the basic food needs that enable us to survive.

✅Vetted No. 219.

they've burnt warehouses holding aid. they've stopped new aid from coming in. they've raided the homes of previously "freed" hostages. they've blocked entry to mosques and set fire to al-Nasr mosque. they're sending 3,000 officers to east jerusalem. the us is using ai to search foreign student's social media posts and revoke the visas of those talking about palestine. the us signed another $3b in funding. they've drone striked bulldozers that are trying to clear rubble. they've launched the highest concentration of drone strikes on lebanon since the november "ceasefire". they're infiltrating more territory. they're still bombing. they're still abducting. they're still destroying. they're still going.

the UNRWA are still working tirelessly to get aid in. they've reopened up three health centers, they're still working to get more kids into distance learning programmes (260k+ since jan). they're still there, and they still need support -> this account here also has a list of fundraisers and ways to support.

as i type this, they've cut off all electricity in gaza.

it has always been, and will always be, free the middle east, even if a man climbing big ben with a palestine flag is all you see on the news.
