Afghan filmmaker Sahraa Karimi’s open letter pleading for aid for the Afghan community shortly before the Taliban took control of Kabul.

Karimi has continued to plead for international aid as she tries to flee the country. She has been posting periodic updates on Twitter.

#I hope these organizations have a plan on how to get funds and supplies to the victims #honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the Taliban pulls a Myanmar and blocks off supply routes and any local banks

Thinking about how everything in Afghanistan from people clinging onto the planes to the ensuing fallout mirrors what happened when the US withdrew from Vietnam, but media still has the audacity to be shocked as though this wasn’t coming.

when disabled people say that being disabled is expensive, i think that able-bodied people don't quite understand HOW expensive it is. so i'm doing my costs to illustrate, which are on top of regular expenses like rent.

hearing aids: $4000-6000 (need 2 so costs are higher, need more advanced tech than 'basic' hearing aids. not typically covered by any insurance. need to be replaced every few years)

wheelchair: $2000-4000 (on avg should be replaced every 5 years)

wheelchair maintenance: $30-100

injected medicine: $5k/injection, every 2 weeks

epipen: $300-400

regular medicine costs: $80/mo currently (without insurance: $600/mo)

appointment copays: $10-80

appointment cost if no ins/out of network: $150-300

number of appts last month: 16

TOTAL if i got all of this at once and had a month's worth of appts/injections: $21,190

SSI maximum payout: $780/mo

the SSI restoration act increases SSI maximum pay to the federal poverty level (a 31% increase--yes disabled people on SSI are 31% or more below federal poverty level). even though it's still not nearly enough, please call or email your local gov to at least get disabled people up to the federal poverty level

The good plot twists aren’t the ones that are wild left turns out of nowhere, they’re the ones that make all the other little things that didn’t quite add up before suddenly click

Concrete, 100% effective way to tell if someone doesn’t belong in a LGBT+/queer space:

They openly and actively hate/ want to hurt the people in that space

the one experience that unites all 90s and early 2000s kids is experiencing at least one work of fiction with a deceptively adorable illustration of cute animals on the cover who live in societies with an established political system, hierarchy of leadership and culture and are driven from their homes by human activity and/or engage in violent conflicts with other animals in similar communities that lead to many of the characters’ brutal deaths, which are described in graphic detail and which left you briefly emotionally traumatized by being confronted with the concept of your own fragile mortality before you were 10
