it’s a witchy life
i'd like to draw attention to a fundraising campaign for Hossam Bardaweel. Hossam's immediate family, his parents and his siblings, has been martyred. he's currently living in a tent with his neices and nephews and his campaign is still a long way from its goal.
this campaign was shared with me through direct contact with a palestinian whose campaign has been vetted and reached its goal alhamdulillah, and i trust its legitimacy. please donate any amount that you can spare!
like imagine being a middle or upper class person blogging about farming as some pastoral stressfree escapism meanwhile actual agricultural workers and farmers both domestically and outside the usa have skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide, not to mention physical repreccussions of their backbreaking work, not to mention being underpaid or unpaid, not to mention working 10-15 hour days in blazing heat, or pouring rain, or snow, not to mention ice/abusive bosses/the entire ag industry fucking with undocumented agricultural workers, not to mention the massive collapse of small farms going under while megacorps gobble up more land and more resources and turn the local watersheds toxic and poison the air, not to mention the myriad of other horrifying shit happening to agricultural workers and farmers on a daily basis, especially workers and farmers of color. but like whatever hashtag farmcore is so wholesome and pure and calming.
do cis people realise that trans people get misgendered even if we pass? a trans man could walk up in a full beard and still be called “miss” because people are transphobic, not because he looks like woman. obviously non-passing trans people get misgendered more often, but there’s really more layers (aka transphobia) to being misgendered apart from “i pass all the time thus no one ever misgenders me”
God, Palestinians can't have anything
I've often seen this person's posts pop up, he's known for the number of cats he feeds, even before this, hence the username. The other day, I remember seeing that pic of him and that tiny little puppy on the beach and being cheered up by it. It's just so sad... they literally can't have anything.
If anyone wants to help this man, he has links for both an evacuation gofundme and PayPal to help feed the cats:
selfish online “anarkkkist$$” and “lefti$$t$$” want to see organized protestors pick up dildos when they should be wanting them to pick up some gun safety and discipline. put down the bongs pick up the blicks. put down the signs pick up the shields. i am tired of watching them getting helplessly beat up by cops and randoms. i want to see winning you want to see wanking we are not the same.
