Beneath the Surface: The Hidden Cost of Foreign Aid Suspension

In a striking political maneuver, Senator Marco Rubio has moved to suspend nearly all US foreign aid, a decision that has ignited outrage among lawmakers and global allies. This action is perceived as a significant betrayal of the bipartisan efforts that culminated in a carefully crafted aid package, aimed at assisting nations under threat, particularly from Russian aggression. Congress’s…

when the god was made in the image of a man who infiltrated the mind of said god and in doing so made himself intertwined with the form that god took while also being the cause of that form creating a infinite feedback loop of what caused the god and his creator to evoke the very image of the death the creator feared through the form of an animal representing that concept, and the god has faint, undeniably human characteristics given to him by his creator while his creator retained none of it. fuck

Hello again! Just to give an update, I've started packing some food items (canned goods, juice in tetra packs, condiments) and school supplies for tomorrow's distribution. I'm still dividing the vitamins and medicines (for headache, cough, colds, and flu) and IF EVER somebody here still wants to donate, I would highly appreciate. 🙏🏼

The last two photos are the marker of their community and the actual houses where they live, eat, and sleep. Whatever will be packed today will be distributed tomorrow and if ever additional monetary donations come in, we'll set another day to deliver the goods.

Again, thank you so much for sharing. We're very far from our goal but still, we're able to produce and give something for them.

Rice is a staple here in the PH but sadly it's way out of the budget I have now. It was a priority in our food packs but since 31 families are waiting for help, I opted for cheaper food options. If ever $2000 was reached, all Aeta families would have bags of rice. 🙏🏼

I still have time. Please continue sharing and reblogging. Thank you! Deets are in my previous posts. Please check if you're interested. 💜

the absolute gouging that egyptian border guards are pulling is so shockingly disgusting i really have no words for it. people are suffering through the indescribable horror of a literal genocide and people are forcing them to beg strangers to help them make up the cost of an ENTIRE HOUSE just to cross a border and not be living on a street corner once they do so

there truly is something so sinister about the exorbitant amount of US dollars being sent to israel being labeled as an ‘aid package’ while israel is completely unscathed as it currently decimates two countries simultaneously

It never escapes my notice, as a glasses-wearer who is severely impaired without them, that the kind of people who come out of the woodwork to tell people who take medication, use disability aids, etc "are you sure you want to be dependent on drugs / aids / whatever for the rest of your life?" never come for people who need glasses.

I need glasses to live, and I know that I will probably be dependent on glasses for the rest of my life. It's a debated topic whether "terrible eyesight that's easily corrected with glasses" counts as a Disability™ or not, but I know that I am very disabled without glasses and I'm just as dependent on them to go about my life as, say, someone completely paralysed from the waist down is dependent on a wheelchair. Yet the weird ableist attitude about how "awful" and "life-ruining" it is to be "dependent on something" doesn't rear its head for glasses-wearers.

And this attitude always baffles me because not only is it not actually a shameful disaster to be "dependent on something for the rest of your life", as it's so often presented in abled society, but also because if you need something in order to live your life - a cane, a daily dose of medication, an accessibility adjustment, a hearing aid, a pair of glasses, or anything else - then you need it, and whether it would somehow be "preferable" not to be "dependent on that for the rest of your life" is a completely irrelevant question. That's not a choice you can make. "I had to choose between being dependent on glasses for the rest of my life, or simply Getting Good and not being shortsighted anymore" - like, what?????

If you need something for your disability, then whether you'd "rather not be dependent on it" is not the choice abled people seem to think it is. Hand-wringing about "but wouldn't you rather not be dependent on that?" [undertone: "shouldn't you be trying harder to not need that"] is completely tangential to the point: because if you need something, then either you have access to the thing that allows you to live a full(er) life, or you are denied access to that thing, but whether you have it or not you're still going to need it.

And if abled people are able (...no pun intended) to not be weird about people who will be dependent on glasses for the rest of their lives, they can sure as hell not be weird about people who are dependent on medication, aids, adjustments, or whatever else.
