“If I am killed, write about me and tell the world about my dreams”

The martyr, Reem Mahmoud Abu Daya. Reem's greatest fear was not death itself, but rather being remembered only as a statistic after being killed in the Israeli aggression.

She often told her friend Mohammed, "If I am killed, write about me and tell the world about my dreams. Tell them that I had undergone LASIK surgery a few months ago and started seeing Gaza with my own two eyes.

Tell them that I want to buy a camera to capture the beauty of Gaza."

Reem Mahmoud Abu Daya is not just a number; she will be remembered. Reem, along with her family, was martyred in an Israeli airstrike on January 7, 2024.

melissa barrera (the actress who got fired from the scream franchise for being pro palestine) has started a fundraiser with unrwa!

screenshot of a fundraiser with the title "in honor of all the martyrs in gaza and the west bank" in black text on a white background. it had $3,301 raised of a $100,000 goal. to the left of the title is a photo of a child wearing a jersey and a keffiyeh tied on his head holding a flag yelling and riding on the shoulders of a man with short hair wearing a mask and a red long sleeved shirt. in the background people are standing or walking on the sand and there is smoke in the air with a fire on the right side of the picture. the header is a photo of two kids playing in front of a couple cars parked in front of a light blue building. under the awning of the building are three adults and a kid sitting. there are paintings on the wall depicting a doctor or a scientist and a schoolgirl pulling a small cart that has a globe in it among other things obstructed from view. in the left foreground of the photo is the front of a blue vehicle. /end id

Text reads "Disabled people belong at pride". three people are illustrated, one person is a tall girl with white skin and blonde hair, with ear defenders with a trans flag around her shoulders, the second is a girl with dark brown skin, big curly hair with a white cane, the third is a man with light skin and lots of freckles, wearing a yellow shirt and holding a blue walking stick in his left hand side.

text reads "but access is more than a ramp". two people are illustrated walking to the right. one is a girl with dark brown skin, an Afro, wearing a black denim jacket and using a grey crutch. the person walking with her is a white girl with light brown hair, wearing a yellow jumper, using a purple active wheelchair.

text reads" it's also quiet areas for people with sensory sensitivities". illustrated us a femme person with a purple mullet wearing a green hoodie. they are holding a progress pride flag and sitting on a brown chair, looking off to the side.

text reads "Braille, audio descriptions, high contrast, and descriptions,". illustrated is two people looking at a large sign which says "the history of pride". on the left is a man with albinism, wearing glasses and a blue and green jumper, holding a device with headphones on. next to him is another man with brown skin, purple tee and a ace flag around his shoulders.

text reads "Masking and covid testing where possible.". illustrated are two women, one of a woman with brown skin, wearing a yellow crop top and a blue mask, with a pan flag around her shoulders. next to her us a woman wearing a green hijab, a denim jacket and a lesbian flag mask, using a red rollator".

text reads "enough accessible toilets". illustrated is the back of someone, who has short red hair, sitting in a standard manual wheelchair, waiting for a disabled accessible portaloo.

text reads "and plenty more things that can make pride accessible and enjoyable for disabled people. price is supposed to be inclusive for all, so why do we exclude disabled people".

Make pride accessible for everyone!!!!

I made a post about this last year and the year before, and thought if I did it this way it gives people and orgs something to work towards. Often people forget that disabled people aren't just wheelchair users, and even those who are, need more than just that ramp!

My first ever pride, not only as a wheelchair but my first ever EVER pride, I went in expecting to feel at home.

Obviously I wasn't, I'm disabled, so why should I?

Instead there was just a ridiculous amount of uneven flooring, a steep ramp to the disabled toilet, no sanitary towel bin in the disabled toilet (???) no allowances to be let out of the festival to fetch things from my car, no where quiet and organisers who seemed genuinely surprised to see a wheelchair user!

My next pride, three years later, I was a seller, and while they had sorted their toilet problem (still no sanitary towel bin???), the hill to get in wouod have been genuinely impossible for me to get to if I hadn't been driving to get my stall in anyway, even with someone pushing me, no quiet areas, plenty of kerbs for me to get stuck at and again, genuine surprise.

Why is it so surprising to consider disabled people might be at pride? Not only do queer disabled people exist, but parents and family of queer kids and people, vendors and even entertainers!

Making pride accessible is crucial!

Slytherin : Wow bro, how did you get this black eye ?

Gryffindor : Erh, just debating about feminism with Huff. She was angry about one of my jokes and she punched me in the eye when I asked "wow, is it this time of the month ?"

Slytherin : Totally deserved.

Ele faz igual o kirby, so abre o bocão e o panetone vai de caixa e tudo direto pra barriga

Favor não comer a "casca" do panetone, os únicos nutrientes que você vai achar ali são os do câncer de estômago.

people don't talk enough about the trauma callouts can cause and the fact people can and will use them maliciously to destroy the social life and often livelihood of people they just don't like (often out of bigotry too!) since that would require applying critical thinking to what you read and understanding that you can't just go "oh shit this person is being called out they must be Bad"
