What can I do to make you care about our Black brothers and sisters? There are many times where they have asked for our help, but we only pay attention when it is too late. Look at what has transpired over the past couple of months.
There is LaKeith Smith who has been wrongfully sentenced for killing a police officer. The coldblooded murder of Sonya Massey. The cruel ruling of Brenda Taylor's boyfriend. The unjust execution of Marcellus "Khaliifah" Williams. The Haitian community has been targeted by Donald as well as the US-backed paramilitary terrorizes Haiti.
Then we go to the other side of the planet. The migrant workers are locked in wealthy Lebanese houses. There are genocides in Australia, DR Congo, Sudan, Tigray, and West Papua. Black lives are everyday, every hour, every second. We turn a blind eye every time!
Enough is enough! Please stop looking away and show your support. One way to help is donating and sharing this fundraiser. It belongs to Eman Abdelrahman (#213 in the Spreadsheet). @emiiii980 has been fundraising since January this year to rebuild her home after the RSF has bombed it and killed her younger brother. Then she has no choice but to evacuate when the RSF closes in her location. Unfortunately, the funds haven't been raised in time. The Sudanese pound has been inflated. It is too expensive to evacuate. So she and her family have decided to stay back and rebuild their home in Khartoum. So she increases the goal to 50K to purchase building materials ASAP!
You can match me! I've given 5 CHF and $5 SGD! There is also a book raffle hosted by @/magnus-rhymes-with-swagness if you show your proof of donation!
Please keep in mind with the currency exchange. It is in Swiss Franc! $10 USD = 8 CHF. There is also a fundraiser for her extended family. Please show your support to them, as well. Again, keep in mind with the currency exchange! It is in Singaporean Dollars. $10 USD = $13 SGD.
i have nao changed to cerealsharkie,, woohoo no more chunkymilk
Iran has launched missiles at Israel in retaliation against Israel’s bombing of their embassy. Let me be clear, first and foremost, that I do not think Israel left them many other options. I believe Israel did this to encourage the US to send them more money. I understand why this has happened.
That being said, we cannot now turn towards praise of the Iranian government. First and foremost, it is still the same government that allows “morality police” to kill women for what they wear. It is not a government that acts in the interests of the freedom of their people.
We also cannot forget that in war it always the rich who make the decisions, and the poor who suffer the consequences. As the threat of regional and perhaps even global warfare grows closer, we must remember that war is an evil that does not kill indiscriminately. We cannot get caught up in the notion of Israel reaping what it has sown. We must remember that those truly in power in Israel will not suffer- only the poor, the marginalized, the powerless. We cannot, even for a second, allow ourselves to imagine allies in those that would lead us towards this.
I would love to hear ur wilbur niki thoughts if ur willing to share
ok i got like 4 asks instantly so i may as well. this is rambly and sooo poorly worded but i dont have time to be flowery lmfao. here goes.
c!niki is allowed to be angry. she’s allowed to be pissed. But uh. c!wilbur does not deserve to be ruthlessly berated and accused of manipulation when the real issue that nobody seems to acknowledge anymore is that she wanted his attention. and I think that’s what makes her and c!jack so tragically drawn to each other as well, feelings of abandonment and betrayal and whatnot.
niki's anger is misplaced but not unwarranted. she feels the need to direct all that malice she's been stewing in since Manberg towards him, and almost exclusively when he was dead. but I think her anger is once again not rly about how he "manipulated"(he did not. manipulate her in any form but ok) and hurt people she cared about. its much simpler and than that.
niki is mad because, like c!tommy, she still loves wilbur. and she hates that he is still so present in her mind, in her decisions, even the decision to join the syndicate. she just hates it.
I think the best direction for the confrontation to go is for her to START screaming at him, START throwing cold accusations and bitter insults at him, until she realizes she's just as bad as him. and i don't mean "bad" as in their shared capacity for violence, or their affinity to isolate themselves away from a lot of people they once considered friends. it's the simple fact that they are both damaged. and they both used this as the cowardly excuse to hurt others. and that is not wilburs fault. niki HAS to realize that.
this is why i like the idea of niki and tommys characters talking as well. they were arguably the most shaken by wilburs death. however, tommy, albeit in a weird spot with cwilbur right now, has seen this shared damage already. he knows wilbur doesn't hold true evil, just like niki, no matter what she might think or how much she plots with jack or who's cape she hides behind like a moral shield. "it's not about chances, it's about not giving up on the people you care about," right?
it goes like this. c!niki and c!wilbur both wanted to die. they both thought it was "never meant to be". but here they are. being. and what is more unifying than that shared contradiction. that despite it all, you are still here together. shouldn't that mean something to them? i dont know. but it does to me.
happy pride momthg... heres kian and becky jecause i think theyre girlfriends <3
