They Should Invent 7 Hours Between 10pm And Midnight

Hi,

I'm saraphil, a transgender queer refugee. I'm part of a group of LGBTIQ refugees facing extreme hardships. Life in the camp is incredibly tough—access to food, water, medication, and shelter is nearly nonexistent. Every day is a fight for survival, and despite our resilience, the lack of basic necessities is overwhelming.

Asking for help is never easy, but we are at a point where we have no other choice. Donations have been scarce, and we're reaching a critical stage. Without support, we face starvation and worsening conditions. Your contribution, no matter the amount, can make a difference between life and death for us. It helps provide the essentials we desperately need: food, clean water, medical care, and shelter.

Please consider donating to our GoFundMe fundraiser:

We are deeply grateful for any help you can offer. Thank you for reading and for your compassion.

With gratitude,

Saraphil

“The prison therefore functions ideologically as an abstract site into which undesirables are deposited, relieving us of the responsibility of thinking about the real issues afflicting those communities from which prisoners are drawn in such disproportionate numbers. This is the ideological work that the prison performs—it relieves us of the responsibility of seriously engaging with the problems of our society, especially those produced by racism and, increasingly, global capitalism.”

A new policy prohibits incarcerated people from publishing writing or art without permission — and from getting paid.

this is insane and wildly unconstitutional and prisons are really really really evil

that moment when you're talking in a language and you use an idiom but then you can't remember for your own life if the idiom is correct in the language you're speaking or if you just translated it literally from another language-

Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, French & Kiswahili.

If you could instantly be granted fluency in 5 languages—not taking away your existing language proficiency in any way, solely a gain—what 5 would you choose?

Who are we? We are the global South, that large set of creations and creatures that has been sacrificed to the infinite voracity of capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, and all their satellite-oppressions. We are present at every cardinal point because our geography is the geography of injustice and oppression. We are not everyone; we are those who do not resign themselves to sacrifice and therefore resist. We have dignity. We are all indigenous peoples because we are where we have always been, before we had owners, masters, or bosses, or because we are where we were taken against our will and where owners, masters, or bosses were imposed on us. They want to impose on us the fear of having a boss and the fear of not having a boss, so that we may not imagine ourselves without fear. We resist. We are widely diverse human beings united by the idea that the understanding of the world is much larger than the Western understanding of the world. We believe that the transformation of the world may also occur in ways not foreseen by the global North. We are animals and plants, biodiversity and water, earth and Pachamama, ancestors and future generations—whose suffering appears less in the news than the suffering of humans but is closely linked to theirs, even though they may be unaware of it.
