for anyone who isn’t aware, friendsofthecongo.org/campaigns contains a list of actions you can take to help the democratic republic of congo, including pdfs of postcards you can print and send to a list of tech companies to tell them to stop using child miners AND a letter you can sign and send to your reps (+ potentially incorporate the main points of that letter into any scripts you might already be using for emails or calls to your reps!). friends of the congo also has a volunteer application form and a youtube channel
Our next Gazan artist is my dear friend Fadi Thabet, an international award winning photographer. He is known for his street photography, a way for him to express his passion for photography while documenting the everyday life of Gaza. He captures faces in a unique way to highlight beauty amongst the hardship and the unexpected.
Check out his art through photography in a song that I wrote. All what you see in the background are Fadi's photographs.
Fadi lost his home in Gaza and many of his family and friends, he lost count of the times he was displaced in this genocide.
Please show him your support and love through this 5 day campaign. We are hoping to send him $1000 to help with his suffering and above all, to show Fadi that we see him and appreciate his art and talent.
Until when?
Lyrics by Mariam Alammuri, Photography by Fadi Thabet, Performance by Abdelfatah Owainat, Music by Avo Aram
Until when will the darkness haunt me? How long in fear will I wake up or sleep? How long, O universe, will I wait for peace?
"A safe world is a better one. and a beautiful life is marked with a smile"
My holiday is passing and I crave the sweetest singing
High on the wing of a dream I embrace the sky
What did I do and what sin did I commit
to wake up from my dream to the color of blood
I am your child, by God, extend a hand to me
All I hope for is to live tomorrow
In love, in joys, in safety, together..
I beg of you, do not let my pleading voice echo back at me
there is something so incredibly poetic about leftists/tankies claiming to care about anti-imperialism whilst frothing at the mouth to stomp on any oppressed peoples that get hurt by a non-western gov.
they have no concept of empathy. all they know is “usa bad,” so they will actively assist and promote other genocidal states as long as they hate the us. its amazing, right?
i'm glad josephine is a MYLF for so many people on this website. middle aged women deserve more love 🫶

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.
so jealous of ppl who can write fic all my thoughts are a mysterious fog that sometimes becomes clear enough for One singular still image
