The way forward is mutual aid. Feel lost, lonely, scared? There is a free fridge project or pantry near you. Make some sandwiches. I am absolutely not kidding about this. “Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake” is not terrible advice if you give it away.

It’s sad to see that people can’t even engage news about Gaza — thousands of civilians fleeing for their lives from bombs we paid for TODAY — without loudly replying “WELL, I’M STILL VOTING FOR BIDEN.” Ok? I didn’t ask you; the ask if anything was for your humanity. Y’all post like campaign bots.

Schools like Excellent Moral in Ibadan, near Lagos, operate in darkness due to zero grid access, depriving students of essential tools like computers.

I'm looking for authors and author-wannabes of Middle Eastern heritage. By Middle Eastern I mean huge swathes of territory including Palestine, Egypt, Iraq--not even just one continent, right? And in re: heritage I'm talking both homebodies and diasporans. It's for a Middle Grade deal.

A thing that would genuinely help my mental health, in case anyone ostensibly my friend or professional acquaintance was wondering, would be seeing people who on the internet said “I stand with Israel” on Oct 7, publicly say “I was wrong, this is horrific, I do not stand with a genocidal state.”

the NYPD is also arresting and brutalizing student protestors at City College. i haven’t seen much coverage of this on here but the students at NYC’s public colleges are being subjected to the same violence as the students at Columbia.

Making students homeless and without healthcare the same day, destroying their belongings, banning them from campus, having them arrested for trespassing—this institution has far too much power to do harm to the students for whose safety it’s responsible.
