it is so incredibly sad to constantly see kids on instagram and tiktok who are younger than my brother have to literally beg for shelter, food, water, medicine, and their right to exist as human beings

i mean, this young girl is only ten years old, yet she is essentially responsible for convincing random people scrolling through instagram that her and her family’s life are worth fighting for

on top of that, their gofundme is not even 10% funded and time is running out, please if you can’t donate, just share

please don’t let this little girl die begging

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

#they’re right #for the most part I’ve stopped doing this to myself and have systems that work well for me #and keep me from procrastinating and constantly being stressed #the downside is that now I see all my friends who have undiagnosed/untreated adhd living like That and nothing I do or say #can help them. like trust me I’ve tried. I just have to watch the train wreck and it’s so painful 😭 #adhd

Maternity kits, medical threads and scissors, water testing kits, anesthetics, mobile desalination units, etc do you see the pattern? Israel is not only starving the people of Gaza but it also wants to ensure the spread of disease through contaminated water and surgical tools, as well as ensuring injured Palestinians suffer through horrendous pain.

It's beyond sickening.

What is fascist about astrology? It feels like you're demeaning what fascism is by using it so loosely?

astrology seeks to explain all human behaviour as inborn and predetermined by stars that humans have no influence on. this is identical to fascist deployment of racial categories: unchangeable, essential and given primary explanatory power while rejecting socioeconomic explanations. modern astrology is also often used quite transparently to justify prejudice as rational, aligning itself directly with the ongoing fascist reaction.

fascism and its use of the occult to whip up reactionary fervor have been documented by nicholas clarke in the occult roots of nazism. here's a more recent piece drawing out the the popularity of new age mysticism and the far right.

in vedic astrology, which has immense amounts of social power and legitimacy in hindu society unlike in the west – all interpretation of the stars is done by unverifiable statements delivered by priests whose social power cannot be challenged. this tends to happen in any field of study that is basically obscurantism. godmen often then become centres of fascist reaction. these patterns are reflected in the way astrology gurus create local cults of personality around themselves.

sure, astrology and mysticism predate fascism. my claim is that their revival in modernity is often because their ideological and philosophical commitments align so obviously with fascism that it is inevitable they will end up laundering fascist ideology even when their practitioners are not fascist.

i am a godless communist in a country where there is little mysticism and religious practice that is not put to fascist use. i know i am very harsh on this stuff, but little is changing my mind atm.

eta: probably the more accurate term would be to say astrology is protofascist.

#can’t remember if I’ve reblogged this before but yeah #also that uk le guin quote about why do women have to feel while men get to think #it always makes me think of astrology #ugh #anti fascism #anti astrology

On Eid, Israel had bombed several areas including a school, a mosque, a marketplace, and a refugee camp, bringing the total of Palestinians killed in the last 24 hours to 63, with many more still missing because their bodies were torn apart beyond recognition by Israeli bombs.

Keep talking about Gaza, keep agitating, and keep advocating because this is Zionism and this is Israel.

what's going on in the congo since there's also a genocide happening over there as well:

to sum it up, people in the congo are literally being worked as slaves to mine for this material called coltan, which is very valuable as its used for things like phones, laptops, just electronics in general. Congo is the number 1 producer for this material and the places behind this genocide is America, Britain, France, and Israel, wow what an absolute shocker. The worst places probably to ever exist benefit from a genocide. These places are funding Rwanda and Uganda military groups, to go into the Congo and kill MILLIONS of people. This has also been going on for YEARS. Many women have been SA'd and men are forced to work in INHUMAN conditions, resulting in their death and the colonizers are absolutely benefitting from this. 6 MILLION people have been killed and half of them are literally kids. Many of the Congolese people have also been displaced.

Please speak out about and raise your voice

#free congo #read cobalt red for background on this it's horrific but so so important to read

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

#been saying the ‘what are you catholic?’ to myself and coworkers when we make ourselves suffer #unnecessarily #i can tell ‘will you die the richest man in the graveyard’ is going in my lexicon immediately #lmfao #life tag #anti capitalism

another great book is The Mythic Dream - it's an anthology of retold myths that includes short stories by many acclaimed sci-fi authors of marginalized identities!!

PLEASE for the love of the universe read anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy written from marginalized perspectives. Y’all (you know who you are) are killing me. To see people praise books about empire written exclusively by white women and then turn around and say you don’t know who Octavia Butler is or that you haven’t read any NK Jemisin or that Babel was too heavy-handed just kills me! I’m not saying you HAVE to enjoy specific books but there is such an obvious pattern here

Some of y’all love marginalized stories but you don’t give a fuck about marginalized creators and characters, and it shows. Like damn
