Trans Girl in Need of Mutual Aid !

hi all, I really really hate having to make a post like this again but unfortunately at the moment I can't make rent. I've been to several job interviews and have been putting in applications relentlessly but no one seems to be hiring right now. I've already sold my guitar and amp but am still 300$ short of where I need to be. if at all possible literally any amount would help. I'm willing to write you a little song or make a cover or send pictures or anything really just send me a message !

a lot of the coverage of the Palestinian genocide is focusing on the US student protests and the narrative is constantly in danger of shifting away from what the protests are actually about and a lot of the language is now speaking in terms of police brutality, silencing of free speech, etc. It's not a radical thing to say that this isn't exactly helpful to the Palestinian cause if the actual reasons for the protests aren't constantly front and center. A lot of people have already made this point. I do not think the genie can necessarily be put back in the bottle with how the protests and the police reaction to them are entering the public consciousness of the USian people. A lot of people are or will become aware of these protests through the lense of these simply being instances of police brutality, and police brutality is a critical issue that many USamericans are very passionate about thus making it difficult to reframe the context of these images of police slamming white professors into pavement towards awareness of Israels decades long illegal occupation and systematic and indiscriminate displacement and murder of Palestinians. What I feel needs to be done is try to reframe these images flooding the internet not *away* from issues of police brutality and homesoil fascism, but in the wider context of imperialist governments taking the lessons they learn oppressing "foreign peoples" and turning them inwards. That police brutality is not disconnected from imperialist mass murder. That the one thing connecting the assaulted USian protester and the trans israeli denied gender affirming care for refusing to serve in the fascist Israeli military and the Palestinian child buried alive for the crime of being Palestinian... the one thing connecting them is that, sooner or later, they are all victims of power. Our rights are granted to us inequitably, unevenly, and are just as quickly stripped away when we do not serve the interests of fascist power. We are either a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian, not the innocent or the guilty but the human being Palestinian, is murdered because she can not be useful to the state while she is still breathing. She can never have the "privilege" of being a tool. I'll say it again: We outside of Palestine who can go to protests, who have families, who are able bodied, who can work, who can keep their head down or speak without immediate retaliation have the "honor" of choosing to be a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian has no choice.

There will always be an armed cop ready to arrest you and kill your brother as long as there is a bomb ready to drop on the heads of Palestinian children. Fascism trickles up and inward.

& more broadly it just comes down to like. why is it apparently soooo tempting to decribe any like, pleasurable or compulsive or unwanted habit as an addiction, and what do we mean by that. often there's an assumption that invoking a word used in clinical context means having recourse to a specific, defined, observed biological disease state but ofc this is often not true and is never true where psychiatric nosology is concerned. so when you say that [eating disorders / BFRBs / whatever] are addictive or are addictions, really you're just defining compulsion and addiction in reference to one another and trying simultaneously to use each to legitimate the other. it's silly at best and more likely to resurface in clinical efforts to limit patient autonomy than anything else

The problem with CHAZ and Occupy strategies in general is that they pose absolutely zero threat to genocidal states or the capital that funds them. At any point they like, the state can disband them by force - the lines of arms-interlinked intellectuals toppled and ziptied in the course of ten seconds. They can do this not because of a lack of tactical ability or force on the part of the protestors (though they do generally lack tactical ability and force), they could just as easily deploy the national guard, even gun down a few people, and face no real consequences but electoral opponents trying to cynically cash in on sentiments caused by the violence.

The problem here is that there is no connection to the people. The whole world, each bit of it, runs on the labour of the workers. You want to stop a genocide 'your' state is carrying out? Organise work stoppage in the factories producing arms, in the trucks and boats and docks transporting them. If you can't do that, then your first priority should be getting into a position to do that: engage with organised labour like unions and guilds, engage with tenant organisations. Win over these politically advanced (though not yet revolutionary) sections of the people, and put your own labour to use positively, in volunteer work, political education, and building up community resources to enable further labour action.
