people see news of 200+ palestinians being killed in one attack and scroll or think about it for about a minute then move on. but if 200+ people died in an attack in the west it would be mainstream news and all people spoke about for weeks. i know the numbers of palestinians being killed are astronomical and its impossible to keep up (which is absolutely sickeningly horrifying, there are no words), but the lack of value placed in palestinians lives and disregard shown is insane
Zionists in the city of Portland are threatening to starve the poor by withdrawing support from the Oregon Food Bank for opposing the genocide in Gaza.
Hey, please read this, just getting this all off my chest helps a lot itself.
I am Layla, a 17 year old student from India. I currently study at Woodstock International School, which is one of the schools here in Mussoorie, India. I've been inactive recently as I was very busy with my A levels exams and my household situation. My mom is from Bangladesh while my father is Indian. Recently, due to him getting unemployed 3 months ago, our family has been going through some very tough times. I in my school am on scolarship and much of my tution fee gets waived off but recently our condition has worsened and my parents are in a lot of mental stress due to our school fees (me and my 2 other siblings) as a major part of their expenditure are payments for our education. I really dont want my education to suffer and can't see my parents stressing about my tuition fee.
11,000 INR is needed which is around 135 USD
Paypal
This is my family's account (my fathers') for all of the donations and incase this doesn't seem to work or you need some more information, please feel free to mssg me or send an ask.
Sorry for making this long, but i really had to swallow my pride while making this. Please help out if you can, and again, thanks for reading. Every type of donation or reblog would really mean and matter a lot. <3
My people in the homeland are dying and suffering from the heat. Mexico has always been hot but climate change is making it unbearable. The people of the global south are not the cause of climate change [not that we don’t have pollution or local pollution issues, but not to the degree of rich nations. I am specifically speaking of Mexico here] but they are made to pay the costs, the ultimate toll.
61 lives this month alone. This is not natural. What’s scary is today I saw an article questioning what are the limits of heat a human body can sustain. This is not normal!
What did these 61 humans do? What crime did they commit to be punished for the sin of global pollution. I promise you they must have been the most poor. Who couldn’t afford ac and maybe not even afford an electric fan.
The rich countries pollute and pollute while the global south suffers
The animals are dying, and it’s not good, but it just feels like insult to injury to see a bunch of results over the animals before as many about my dead countrymen.
Brown bodies died. The rich European countries do not care. India, too, is suffering from climate change.
You don’t even hear about the people dead in India unless you go out of your way to seek news about climate change.
The global south burns to death, the poor are the most affected for a crime and sin they had no part in. My heart aches for my Mexico, and all other global south nations disproportionally effected by climate change
realizing i’m aro has made me really come to reckon with the fact that a lot of you guys are seriously incapable of contextualizing a relationship as meaningful unless it has some conventional romantic lens applied to it. just saying…!
