We Need A Conviction. #FAFO #StillWeRise

On November 7, 2024, Denmark used a racist, culturally biased "parenting competency" test to remove a 2 hour old baby, Zammi, from her loving indigenous Greenlandic Inuit mother, Keira, because her native language, which uses minute facial expressions to communicate, will not be able to "[prepare] the child for the social expectations and codes that are necessary to navigate in Danish society." This test had been recommended not to be used at the federal level before this happened but certain municipalities, including the one this happened in, chose to continue to use it regardless. Not only is this blatantly racist but also violates multiple declarations and conventions that Denmark has signed that protect the rights of indigenous people.

Please sign this petition to help Keira to get her baby back.

in case people weren't aware, BDS has called for a boycott of microsoft gaming products:

Cancel your Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Boycott Candy Crush, Minecraft and Call of Duty – flagship videogame franchises owned by Microsoft.

Boycott all Microsoft Gaming products, including Xbox-branded consoles, headsets, accessories and all games published by Microsoft-owned publishing labels (such as Xbox Game Studios, Activision, Bethesda and Blizzard).

more info on the boycott and microsoft's collaboration with israel from bds' own website. microsoft is directly partnered with the israeli military, providing cloud services and ai technologies that actively contribute to the genocide of palestinians.

bethesda and blizzard are specifically named, but other companies under xbox game studios include mojang and obsidian entertainment - i'm highlighting obsidian here because (afaik) i haven't seen anyone bring them up specifically. i don't mean this in a condemnatory way, i'm an enjoyer of obsidian games myself, i just want to make sure people are aware.

For those who already own the games or the console, the organizers said, the ideal move would be to stop playing, but the primary ask from organizers is to help deprive Microsoft of revenue. Therefore, players can be compliant with the boycott by avoiding future purchases of games or consoles and by avoiding transactions inside the games.

a cultural boycott has not been called for, but there's no avoiding the fact that fandom is effectively free word-of-mouth advertising. i am not here to tell you what to do or act as your moral arbiter, all i can do is give you information and ask you to be conscientious. please refrain from making any new purchases or from encouraging other people to buy games/products that provide revenue to microsoft - consider donating to a gazan mutual aid fund, such as a campaign run by the sameer project instead

My friends' stories from the past couple of days, and links to help them.

Nael Helles: One of the first people to be affected by the invasion of Rafah. Nearly as soon as it began, the house next to his family's camp was bombed, and they were buried under the rubble. They dug themselves out to the surface, but they are all injured. Words cannot describe the anguish I felt at this news. Please support them in their journey to recovery and safety.

Mahmoud Qassas: During the invasion of Rafah, he described to me the horrific sounds in the early hours of the morning. The quadcopters were firing and the zionist terrorists' gunshots were audible from their tent. I worried that any message he sent me may be his last. He is now left with no choice but to move again and use some of the gathered funds to do so. Please support his move to a safer place in Ghazzah.

Mohammed El Shaer: After the zionist terrorists had retreated, he went into the street looking to help people. What he found was body parts strewn around, and the headless body of a young man. Words do not suffice to describe the images forever etched into his mind. Despite the horrors that surround him and his family, they have nowhere to go, they are stranded. Please help them while they figure out what to do.

Mona Abu Hamda: My lovely dear friend Mona, the one who's helped countless families survive this horrific genocide and the starvation campaigns. The one whose efforts I posted, and the one whom you all donated to and sent wonderful messages to. I haven't heard from her since the invasion began. Whatever has happened to her, she and her family will need the funds to survive.

I hope that you can read their stories and understand the urgency of this situation.

Imagine lying for 75 years and STILL not being able to say a proper lie it's just pathetic at this point

note: some people told me the last one was antisemitic but this post was already reblogged alot so idk If I should delete it

Another thing that I didn't actually realize it's? Cause it was common in Arabic (especially Egypt and based on the profile name he's Egyptian) that someone that lies alot to be told that it's in "their blood" I think he was targeting Zionists and ofc it's not the best choice of words and ofc I don't and will never support anti semitism

he does did give a proof why they're lying. If it wasn't already spread I might've deleted it and that's all..

To all the Zionists coming to my blog saying it's "adults" and they're killed with all respect stfu. Go reread the debunking before dumbly speaking when it's fake teeth you're only making yourself more pathetic trying to prove smth

you're just humiliating yourself more than you're already are

KabuMina is an excellent ship. A tired single dad getting back together with his vaping ex (that still love him very much).

I just found out two local gay artists were found murdered in their home. fuck. jesus. I knew these guys. I own their art. I've attended so many gallery openings at their shop. they've meant so much to the community here. and they're just fucking gone? just like that?

and of course the cops are claiming it's not a hate crime.

Israel has banned the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. That could be devastating for millions | CNN

Israel’s parliament has voted to ban a nearly eight-decade-old United Nations agency that provides essential services for Palestinian refuge

On Monday, the Knesset passed two bills; one barring UNRWA from activity within Israel, and another banning Israeli authorities from any contact with UNRWA – revoking the 1967 treaty that allows UNRWA to provide services to Palestinian refugees in areas under Israel’s control.

The move is expected to severely restrict the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) from operating in territories Israel occupies.
