As of now, I’m participating on this.

I will avoid posting anything that doesn’t have a mutual aid link. Depending on how long this goes for, I’ll still post my mini book reviews, but I will attach links for my 3 🇵🇸families, Britt, & Mori.

So I’m happy for any minute, any hour, any day of relief for the ppl of 🇵🇸 but

I just do not trust any of the ppl in power here

Last time this lasted what, 6 weeks?

Israel was still 💣 North Gaza after the announcement

I’m afraid this a temp loosening of screws to relieve intl pressure on 🇮🇱🇺🇸

القصف الو يومين كتير كتير بشكل مش طبيعي والانفجارات بكل مكان
The bombing has been going on for two days, very very intensely, not normal at all, and the explosions are everywhere
لم نأكل شئ كبير اكلنا ربع رغيف
We haven't eaten much, we ate a quarter of a loaf

ماما تعبانة كتير بتتنفس بصعوبة
Mama is very sick, she's having trouble breathing
كيف حال
Oh sweet mama, please give her a gentle hug from me how is Halima?
يا حبيبتي ماما، ابعتي لها حضن ناعم مني

This post got a decent amount of shares but the hashtag is just a few of us. Is this strike actually happening or did the people who shared really move on that quickly?

I OFFICIALLY CALL BLUESKY USERS TO DO A MUTUAL AID / DIRECT SUPPORT POSTER'S STRIKE.

No content except things that directly support marginalized people.

Flood the site with the people Jay would love to forget she is personally killing.

And nothing else.

You could try a poster’s strike. I hear that works

Forgot to add her words:

Today I'm going to find a place to rent for me and my kids
See if it is appropriate

I just opened the link page and found someone had donated a thousand dollars
I can't believe this
I wanted to cry with happiness
This will help us a lot

The fact that the general public is so ignorant of the reality of a disease this common is such a scandal. It speaks to how ignored & invalidated patients are

Mori has v severe #MECFS. Think bedridden, earplugs, eye mask, dark room, v limited ability to even talk to ppl. Overexerting or even overstimulating causes a crash

& they’re forced to fundraise for survival. On their birthday

They’ve been at $334 for AGES pls help
