If You Are Depressed You Are Living In The Past. If You Are Anxious You Are Living In The Future. If

So we’ve been watching this series called How We Won The War and they’re currently doing a section about female ATA pilots during WW2 and holy shit look how badass they are They were the first women allowed into, let alone fly, an RAF aircraft. Their male peers were of they opinion that they should “go back to the kitchen” so only let them fly shitty archaic planes with open cockpits that nearly caused them to freeze to death one winter. They tried to make them wear skirts and stockings during winter but they were like “haha no” and wore proper flight gear instead. They flew in terrible weather with poor visibility, no radio and no electronic navigational equipment. Though not permitted to fly into combat zones they were still frequently under fire. Over time their contribution to the air force was recognised and the ATA was the first government organisation to give equal pay for equal work regardless of gender.

After more than five years, the family of Michael Chakma, one of Bangladesh’s “disappeared”, held a funeral service for him, certain they would never see him again. Last week, the 45-year-old was one of a handful of people released from detention in the aftermath of the student uprising which led to the dramatic collapse of former prime minister Sheihk Hasina’s government. Chakma, an Indigenous rights activist who went “missing” after being snatched off the streets near his home in April 2019, said he endured mental and physical torture during his captivity in spaces so confined it felt like “a grave”, in a clandestine prison allegedly operated by the military intelligence directorate (DGFI). Chakma says he had lost all hope of ever seeing his family or daylight again. “My family assumed I was dead and conducted all religious rituals for a funeral in my absence,” Chakma tells the Guardian. “My return is as shocking to me as it is miraculous for them. It truly feels like a resurrection. “This ‘afterlife’ still unnerves me from time to time. I suffer from nightmares and mental breakdowns, and I’m often terrified by sounds. I can’t sleep; everything seems so scary to me,” he adds. In the early months of his disappearance, a police official told the media that he might be in hiding, evading arrest due to the charges against him. [...] “They kept asking me why I criticise the Awami League government in my social media, they said AL is the government and the government is the state. Therefore no one should criticise the actions of AL or Sheikh Hasina,” Chakma says. [...] Another local group, Odhikar, says over the past 15 years, 704 people have fallen victim to enforced disappearance. While some have returned home, the bodies of others have been found, often showing signs of torture. It’s thought 150 individuals remain unaccounted for, not including those who went missing during the student-led protests that began last month.

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted

life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters

I was just informed by Tumblr that a neonazi with a swastika pfp saying "Jews are my enemy", is in fact NOT against Tumblr's Terms of Service so they wont be removing the post. I guess theyre too busy removing Gazan fundraisers and trans women's blogs. This fucking website.
