25 YA Books for Indigenous Peoples Day
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NOTES: For brevity and diversity, I did not include all the North American Native books I found, but there are plenty more - feel free to post your favorites in the comments! Most books are from indigenous authors, but not all - do your own research if you like. Not all books may be “technically” YA. I’d love to hear more suggestions of Latin American indigenous stories or Hawai’ian native stories which were difficult to find.
EDIT: This is just a random list by a random tumblr blog from 2022 - get out there and find your own books or list some in the comments if you find this list lacking.

During the most poor and homeless period of my life, I had a lot of people get angry with me because I spent $25 on Bath and Body Works candles during a sale. They couldn’t comprehend why the hell I would do that when I had been fighting for months to try and get us on our feet, afford food, and have an apartment to live in.
Those candles were placed beside wherever I slept that night. In the morning, I would move them and set them wherever I’d have to hang out. At one point I carried one around in my purse - one of those big honking 3-wick candles. I never lit them, but I’d open them and smell them a lot.
I credit that purchase with a lot of my drive that got me to where I am today. I had been working tirelessly, 15+ hour days with barely any reward, constantly on the phone or trying to deal with organizations and associations to “get help at”. It’d gone on for almost a year by the end of it, and I was so burnt out, to the point that I would shake 24/7. But I could get a bit of relief from my 3-wick “upper middle class lifestyle” candles. They represented my future goals, my home I wanted to decorate, and how I would one day not be in this mess anymore.
When we moved into the apartment, and our financial status improved, I burned those candles every single day. When they were empty, I cleaned them out, stuck labels on them, and they became the starting point of my really cute organization system I had ALWAYS planned to have.
So whenever I hear about someone very poor getting themselves a treat - maybe it’s Starbucks, maybe it’s a home deco item, maybe it’s a video game… I don’t judge them. I get it. I get that you can’t go without anything for that long without it making you go crazy. You need to pull some joy, inspiration, and motivation from somewhere.

STOP KOSA
The thing about KOSA that makes me feel the worst is that I am helpless. I am not an American. I have no power to change the votes or reps. But the internet and social media are used by everyone.
Please. If you have the power. Email your representatives, vote against this bill.
Because so many of us don't have that power
If we lose the internet as it is now. We lose some of the most important resources we have in our modern day. Widespread information, online communities, connections to others that are different than us, online safety, understanding.
Movements like Free Palestine will be censored, LGBTQ topics and protection online will be exposed, we will lose millions of posts on these subjects.
Please, please, we don't have much time.

Nazi Germany = Zionist Terrorist Settler Colony of Israel & the US
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two babies in incubators in the intensive care unit of Kamal Adwan Hospital died on the first day of Ramadan, due to malnutrition and lack of medical equipment in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza City, according to medics. Israel's crippling blockade on Palestine’s Gaza, which has left its population – particularly those in the north – without food, water and medical aid and supplies, has claimed the lives of at least 27 people, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. Scenes of malnutrition and dehydration from the besieged enclave evoke parallels with images captured in the 1940s at concentration camps throughout Nazi-occupied Europe.

horrific article from the bbc broke last about israel detaining healthcare workers, stripping them naked, and beating them for days on end. we already knew israel was doing this to palestinian detainees, but to be deliberately targeting medical personnel--doctors and nurses and medical assistants on the ground trying to heal wounded palestinians--and then literally torturing them are on levels of cruelty i can't even begin to compute.
a humanitarian law expert in this article calls the footage coming out of this "concerning." i call it the terms racists love to throw baselessly at arabs: barbaric and inhumane.

UPDATE: Hussam Bought Vegetables!
Hussam managed to put together 100 packages of vegetables for the families in Rafah camps. They were happy about this because vegetables are quite expensive in the markets.
The packages includes tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, lemon, and jalapenos.
Thanks again, everyone, for your continued support. Donate here to make a direct impact to people in Rafah camps with NO middle man in between.

This is a fundraiser from Palestine Asdiqa's linktree, so it has been verified. It is really urgent and has not raised a lot of funds so far (the gofundme is sitting at less than $500 raised as of March 10!) Please support and share.

You should make zionists uncomfortable btw
Keep talking and bringing up Palestine
Advertise that you and everything about you is pro Palestine
Make sure nobody can even entertain the idea of ignoring Palestine
Are you part of a fandom? Draw pro palestinian fanart (and link resources)
Go to protests and wear pro Palestine pins (if it's safe for you to do so)
Buy and wear a keffiyah
Do not let genocide supporters find safe and comfortable spaces
Do not be a safe space for war criminals
Do not let people take comfort in your assumed neutrality
Do not allow people ignore genocide
- -
Edit: this is getting traction again so I wanna add a few resources to help you turn your anger into change
Daily click:
Free documentary about Gaza's Fight For Freedom:
I'm only going to link two since that's the limit for most people before they just scroll down and ignore it. Please give the documentary a watch whenever you have time
