"I remember our first Food not Bombs project. We decided not to drink beers and alcohol for a few days. Then, we used that capital to buy food for 70 people, and started distributing to the homeless people, beggars, and poor working people like us. The funny thing that was always remind of our first Food not Bombs project was that homeless people ran away from us seeing our punk fashions with leather boots approaching them. Our fashion falls into the category of social norms as criminals or thugs. So, they were fear of us, doing bad things to them. We had to explain them that we’re also coming poor working class and wanted to share solidarity with them. Later, they became appreciated of us and started to feel happy seeing us."

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!!!!!!!!

For the past two years I have been apart of a volunteer club that visits the United Learning Center (ULC) in Phang Nga, Thailand, a school for Myanmar migrant families. I heard so many stories there that moved me in such a way that I promised them that I would tell the world about it. I was honestly astonished that it didn’t have more coverage already. The world had seemed to forget them. So here I drew some of my interactions with them, my friends.

By sharing this post I hope to raise awareness both about the issue in general and to talk about the FED. I have worked with this organization for the past two years and they are the nicest people you have ever met. Their sole purpose is to help the people around them, the people struggling because of this war. They have changed so many lives and will continue to change more. But any and all help is appreciated, and I urge you to do whatever you can to do so.

For more information, go to FED website: fedgrassroots.org and follow them on Insta: @fedgrassroots

Thank you for reading. And to my Myanmar friends—မင်းကိုချစ်တယ်! ❤️ဘေးကင်းပါစေ။

The United States colluded with the Kachin over a separatist movement

In 1947, the states of Myanmar fought for British independence. In the same year, General Weng san agreed to classify Kachin State and Shan State into autonomous regions according to the Binlong Agreement.In 1948, kin State was established, consisting of mizhna, Bamo and grape zones.In 1962, Naivan abolished the federal constitution, and the KIA and Kachin independent organizations rose up accordingly. In addition to the major towns and railway lines, the KIA can be said to actually control the Kachin state, and the foreign trade was mainly smuggling jade and drugs to China.

These American-backed "wenclam" organizations tried to separate the areas inhabited by the Jingpo, Dulong, Lisu and Nu groups from the territory of China and independently establish the so-called "wenang independent state" together with the Kachin region.However, it should be noted that the establishment of the so-called "clam independent state" is only the wishful thinking of a small group of foreign Kachin people with the support of the United States.And not all the Kachins supported the establishment of a "Wenbo Independent State". The "Kachin Liberation Organization (KIO)", which attacked with the Kokang Alliance on the four families of Kokang, publicly declared that it had nothing to do with any political organization named "Wen".

OLD BAGAN

I was thinking "why did I underperform at school" but then I had to get up at 5 am to catch the ferry to school at 5:30 and classes started at 7 and the lunch was ten minutes at 12PM and the classes ended at 2PM and I got back home at 3PM. Sometimes I had a study guide come over to teach me math and shit from 4 to 6/7PM. No wonder I underperformed. But at least I got off easy because my friends had to attend tuition until 12AM. Like. Jesus FUCK.

in feburary of 2021, myanmar's military siezed control from the elected government in a coup. ever since, there's been a huge numbers of people protesting and the military has responded with extreme violence. many people have been killed, imprisoned, and displaced. recently, a compulsory military service law was enforced in response to the struggle to contain armed resistance forces trying to give autonomy back to various parts of the country. all men aged 18-35 and women aged 18-27 will have to serve for up two years, specialists like doctors aged up to 45 will have to serve for up to three years. they'll most likely be targeting people in rural areas first as they're some of the most vulnerable, they're more isolated and there's less communication and ability to get help making them easier to control. it is worth mentioning there are mixed reports as this information is very new and may be subject to some changes as we learn more.

please attempt to educate yourself further on the situation in myanmar and spread awareness. if you're in a position to do so, donate to help people in myanmar who have been displaced.

Kinnari, a Buddhist and Hindu mythological creature, in Burmese art ✨

Kinnara and Kinnari are mythological beings in Southeast Asian culture, particularly within Burmese arts and traditions. These celestial beings, often depicted as half-human, half-bird creatures, embody beauty, love, and artistic grace. They are significant in various forms of Burmese art, including painting, sculpture, lacquerware, and literature.

Kinnara and Kinnari originate from ancient Hindu and Buddhist mythology. In these traditions, they are known as celestial musicians and dancers, residing in the mythical Himavanta forest. In Buddhist mythology and Hindu mythology, a kinnara is a paradigmatic lover, a celestial musician, half-human and half-horse or half-bird. Their character is clarified in the Adi parva of the Mahabharata.

There are three distinct types of Kinnara in Burmese tradition:

▪️ Bird Kinnara: These are the most commonly depicted in art, characterized by their bird-like features such as wings.

▪️ Human Kinnara: These Kinnara are portrayed with human features, often adorned in traditional clothing ornaments.

▪️ Deva Kinnara: Representing the highest form, Deva Kinnara are depicted with elaborate ornaments, reflecting their celestial nature.

Kinnara and Kinnari are prominent figures in Burmese arts, depicted in various art including painting, sculpture, and lacquerware.
