A donation of (20USD) will not cost you a lot , but will protect my family to get out to safety 🕊️🕊️
I'm currently seeking donations to support the evacuation of my family (10 family members) from the city of Rafah, where they have been sheltering over the past 6 months.
The lack of food, water, medication, and basic human needs has been worsening as the Israeli genocide in Gaza persists.
My family has never thought of leaving our beloved Gaza until the genocidal state of Israel has made it impossible to maintain life there. The homes of all my family members and their own families have been reduced to rubble alongside the entire village where
My mother, my brother, and my 2 brothers along with their young families have, with a heavy heart, made the tough decision of leaving Gaza into safety in Egypt, escaping the ongoing carnage of death and destruction that has claimed tens of thousands of lives and millions of livelihoods.
Unfortunately, they now have no choice but to leave because, as my brother tells me, “there is nothing left to stay there for anymore.”
In December 2023, I submitted tourist visa - 600 applications for all of my family members through the Department of Home Affairs. I also, concurrently, lodged consular assistance applications for each family member through the DFAT to facilitate their departure through Rafah crossing to Australia.
All of the 10 They were refused a visa after waiting 4 months
Therefore, it is frustrating and heart wrenching, to say the least, that the only way to evacuate my family is to use the sole Egyptian travel agent currently operating across the Gaza/Egypt border who charges large sums of money for each Gazan who tries to escape the genocide - 5k US dollars each!
I'm left with no other choice but to use this travel agent!
Please help me evacuate my family members through the Rafah crossing into Egypt and into safety.
I need all the support that I can muster to help them escape with their lives, secure basic needs in Egypt, and get urgently-needed medication and medical assistance for my sick mother who suffers from diabetes.
Why do we say that capitalism must be “dismantled”?
You’ll hear phrases like “Smash the state!” “Eat the rich!” and “Smash capitalism!”
And, yes, of course, but… :)
However relevant those sayings are, our work must be careful, highly organized and above all planned.
Because capitalism and all of its associated systems are not discrete, abstracted entities we can attack independently.
It is a structure, like a complicated machine with many thousands of working parts…
And right now it is connected to absolutely everything.
If we do this… [picks up huge hammer and smashes the machine]
Then a lot of vulnerable people will die.
The machine was built and improved and redesigned and patched over the course of generations. It is very good at its intended purpose, which is ultimately to generate profit.
Every human being alive today relies on the byproducts of the machine to survive, without exception.
The machine’s engineers want it to keep working like it does. In fact, they want to optimise it.
That will kill all remaining life on Earth.
So, we must destroy the machine, quickly and carefully
We must examine its deadly programs and mechanics and replace them with alternatives we built together.
The engineers don’t want us tampering with the machine.
However, we make it run…
So we can make it STOP. Together.
How will YOU help us to safely dismantle the machine?

sometimes i accidentally quick reblog something to main and go “am i brave enough to be seen this way” and have a QTE to decide if i undo the reblog or not
I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?
Plenty of highly intelligent people end up getting sucked in to cults because they just wanted people to hang out with. There are antivaxxer nurses. Your ability to act on empirical reason breaks down fast if your social and emotional needs aren't being met.
being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck
