Btw Now Is The Best Time To Keep Boycotting. The Israeli Economy Has Never Been Weaker. Don't Stop The

Since the holiday toy drive post is circulating again, I figured this would also be helpful! Food insecurity is such a massive problem in America, in general, and if you have the means to help feed others, I think you should take that opportunity. Here are some other tips:

1. If you’re planning on donating items from your own pantry, please check the expiration dates on the packaging. Think of your donations as gifts to bestow, not castoffs to be rid of. It’s awful to think of people feeling like they got scraps someone else just didn’t want. Everyone deserves dignity with their meals.

2. If you’d rather give money to a food bank, that’s also great since they buy food in bulk and know what items are most wanted/needed!

3. Not everyone has access to appliances like stoves or microwaves or hot plates so if you can donate items that don’t need to be heated up, that would also be greatly appreciated!

Now more than ever we need to make Tumblr unmarketable, do NOT invite the government into this space.

Don't forget, Trump was the one who tried to ban TikTok in his first term, and Republicans voted to pass the TikTok Ban Bill.

He didn't save it. He just flipflopped when he realised it made him look bad with young people.

And now TikTok are sucking up to Trump and effectively acting as an ad section for him.

Don't fall for it.

you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you’re next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! say her name!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!

I got so into the motions of washing soap out of my hair that when it came time to wash my face, I ended up put that soap into my hair.

Remember kids sleep is important :)

My doctor just gave the excellent advice that the next few days are "airport rules". You do whatever you need to care for you and yours—even if that is having a martini at 10:00—and you make sure you are kind to yourself.

If you feel cold and are shaking, this could be a sign of mild shock. Drink something warm, wrap yourself up in a (pile of) blankets, and do something to distract yourself.

The work does not stop, but we cannot help others and improve the world if we are burned out and despairing.

Check in on your vulnerable friends. Your LGBTQ+ friends. Your black friends. Your Muslim friends. Your Jewish Friends. Your friends of all walks that I do not have the words for.

Remember that hope is not delicate. Hope is like a woman with scratches on her face, a broken nose, and grazed knuckles. A woman who always picks herself back up for another go.

Join your community and mutual aid groups. Don't expect them to be ready and waiting for you; sometimes the hard work that needs doing is getting it started. Now is the time to get involved. Apathy is what got us here. Donate to organizations that can continue to fight the good fight.

Remember that it is okay to be angry. Many in the voting populace have fundamentally failed all of the most vulnerable as well as themselves. Be angry, and then drive that anger into something better; fundamentally, you just have to care about people.

Even with a stranglehold on the senate, presidency, house, and supreme court, Trump is going to fight an uphill battle when it comes to changing the constitution.

Get your documentation in order and take steps to protect yourself and your family. Think, prepare, and be ready.

If you have the means and willingness to flee the country, then flee. It can put you in a better position to advocate for positive change.

Remember that this is not a zero-sum game. Gaining rights on one front does not mean losing them on another. Lift everybody up together and we will all benefit.

Finally, keep your fucking mouth shut. If you know your friends are LGBT, no you to not. If you know about an abortion or pregnancy, no you do not. If your neighbor is undocumented, no they fucking are not. If the cops come knocking, you shut the fuck up. Stand together and give the fascists no quarter.

Remember, above all else, that you will still wake up. You will still have a life. You will eat good food. You will laugh with those you love. You will see the beauty of nature that will outlast us. Things will get harder, but there will undoubtedly be many moments of joy within it.

Feel the pain. Grieve if you need to. Allow yourself to feel whatever it is you are feeling. But do not give up. To succumb to despair here does nobody any service, and only by sticking together and uplifting each other can we try and build a better future.
