"[C]apital is not a thing, but a social relation between persons which is mediated through things.

[..] In capital, as in money, certain specific social relations of production between people appear as relations of things to people, or else certain social relations appear as the natural properties of things in society."

–Karl Marx, "Capital vol. I" (1867)

"The spectacle is not a collection of images; it is a social relation between people that is mediated by images."

–Guy Debord, "Society of the Spectacle" (1967)

"Freedom is not a possession or a property; it is a relation. It is not a matter of being protected from the outside world, but of intersecting in a way that maximizes the possibilities."

–CrimethInc., "To Change Everything: Start by Reconciling the Individual and the Whole" (2016)

"Hence, in every epoch, man must seek his freedom not at the beginning but at the end of history.

[..] I am truly free only when all human beings, men and women, are equally free. The freedom of other men, far from negating or limiting my freedom, is, on the contrary, its necessary premise and confirmation. It is the slavery of other men that sets up a barrier to my freedom, or what amounts to the same thing, it is their bestiality which is the negation of my humanity. For my dignity as a man, my human right which consists of refusing to obey any other man, and to determine my own acts in conformity with my convictions is reflected by the equally free conscience of all and confirmed by the consent of all humanity. My personal freedom, confirmed by the liberty of all, extends to infinity."

–Mikhail Bakunin, "Man, Society, and Freedom" (1871)

CAN'T DO THIS ALONE!!

Hola!! I'm Calli, we're 9 people, 4 are diabetics, who depend on me and my partner mostly after the in-laws lost everything on a house fire on November.

My partner fucked up his back from months of carrying water every day as we've been months without running water. He's been bed bound a week and counting. He needs meds and help 24/7 to move. Also, his mental health has been terrible since he lost his granny on the fire. ON WAY TO RECOVERY

My in-law has a cataract and any sight she has left is affected by the crash on her glasses. She needs new glasses. COVERED

I've been without my meds for a week+, I have multiple ailments like my liver and gallbladder can't process a lot of stuff, a tumor and multiple growths on my legs/tights that hurt. ONGOING

We've had no luck these past week, eating only a meal a day of rice or plain tortillas is not great for any of us. COVERED

We've been unable to get a decent job and I just came back from a sudden oddjob carrying and moving heavy packages and furniture to make some very urgently needed money but it further fucked my hernia, my hip and my feet which burn from just walking. ONGOING

We're unemployed looking for anything that can get us enough to eat but we have 100 problems and 99 could be solved with money, money we can't get without a job no one has given us.

Not to mention we have not been able to work on rebuilding the house in months.

Overall we need a lot of help, we have a deadline for some bills on July 29th.

$34/$952

Pay•pal Ko-fi

*This money will cover medical attention, medication, bottled water, food, glasses, laundrymat, transportation, special cushion for hemorrhoides and ciática and orthopaedic insole/shoes stuff.

AUGUST 5TH UPDATE!!!

Recycling this post cause I'm beyond exhausted....We got MOULD!!!

Usually it's a team effort but lately all responsibility has been on me, I can't. The lack of sunny days and constant rainy days have let it grow out of control.

It's already difficult to breathe here, can't sleep or be in the room. The bed is unusable so now we're down one bed. Just 2 beds for 9 people.

We need to get rid of it ASAP or we risk it getting into the whole house. We're already being affected by it. More in the proof post, link above. ^^^

So yeah, we need the usual money for water, laundry, supplies to fix the mould situation, new lab tests for my partner, transportation, MY MEDS PLEASE 🥺, cat food, human food.

$50/$735

PAY•PAL KO-FI

DO NOT SCROLL AWAY !!!

One of the most heartbreaking realities for children is being displaced from their homes, their belongings, and their sense of security. In times of conflict, natural disasters, or political turmoil, children often find themselves torn away from the only world they have ever known. The suffering of being displaced goes beyond the physical aspect; it cuts deep into their emotional well-being and mental health.

Imagine a child forced to leave behind their favorite toys, their comforting routine, their familiar surroundings, and the loving faces of their family and friends. The sense of loss and confusion can be overwhelming for them, leaving them feeling abandoned and vulnerable in an unfamiliar and often hostile environment.

The trauma of displacement can have long-lasting effects on a child's development, leading to feelings of fear, anxiety, and depression. Without the stability of a home and a community to provide support and comfort, children may struggle to cope with the overwhelming sense of displacement, leading to a sense of rootlessness and despair.

In the midst of such suffering, it is crucial for communities, organizations, and governments to come together to provide a safe haven for displaced children. By offering shelter, education, and emotional support, we can help ease the pain of displacement and ensure that every child has the opportunity to heal and thrive despite the challenges they face.

the only thing that stops a bad guy with a state is a good guy with a state

the category of “woman” has since its inception been bound up in fundamentally racial, cissexual, and class terms. “Woman” has never once been a category that all women belonged to, not because they aren’t “actually” women but because gender is a structure that mediates access to personhood, and being granted personhood has historically been a privilege reserved for the very few (white, bourgeois, cis-heterosexual, perisex, etc). JKR is not being a hypocrite by saying, on the one hand, that she wants to “protect women,” and then on the other attacks women of colour, trans women, intersex women, and so on. she is participating in the centuries-old Western tradition of policing the boundaries of gender and thus who gets counted as human. expressing incredulity at this supposed hypocrisy is just revealing that you have not engaged with even introductory level writing on the subject, which is why the charge of hypocrisy is not only unhelpful but actively obfuscates the oppressive structure of gender

The Israeli occupation is now carrying out intense violent raids in the middle of the Gaza Strip in the displacement camps. Your support and participation make a difference in our lives.

I know you're all swamped but is there any way you can verify Tamer? His friend Nesma @nesmamomen has already been

I'm in daily contact with Tamer, today he's told me he has a dangerously high fever as a complication of covid, and sent me a photo of himself receiving fluids but it was extremely expensive just for IV water.

We do have some good news: he has a friend in Turkey he trusts who can be an intermediary in sending funds (because banks in the west are blocking transfers to bank accounts in the middle east) but in the meantime we need to actually raise the funds. I've organised this fundraiser for him with @ogmagzi whose name it's in. Feel free to contact me with any questions, or check my tagged #Tamer for previous updates

Please reblog

Is there any way we could raise $50-$100 to get us through until I get paid? Chris didn't work at all and got no paycheck and we are down to the wire. Anything left over will be sent to Tamer, who I'm fundraising for to help him and his family in Palestine

Half way there we just need a little more for fuel so Chris can actually go to work

Hello, lovelies! I hope you're all doing well. I hate to ask, but I could really use some help. My rent is due on August 5th, and I'm a bit short on cash. My work hours have been reduced by half, and my last paycheck was smaller than expected. As a result, I've been struggling to buy groceries, and I'm almost out of food. I feel extremely tired every day, and I believe it’s because I'm not eating enough.

If you're able and willing to help, I would greatly appreciate any assistance. It would also be wonderful if you could share this on your dashboard to reach more people. Thank you for your patience.

"The frogs at Priamukhino have been part of the legend of the place since at least 1995, when anarchists renovated the ponds that they inhabit. Subsequently, in place of a red star, anarchists put a red frog on a black banner, which has become a symbol of the anarchist project in Priamukhino." (X)

Hello 👋 🤗,

I hope you are well 🌺.

I am writing to you with a heart full of hope and faith, asking for your urgent help. My family is in great danger due to the war, and I am running a fundraising campaign to save them.

Please, could you reblog the post about my campaign on my account? Every share can make a difference in my family's life. 🙏

Can you reblog the pinned post on my account titled **Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive**?

Don't hesitate to save a family with children, women, and newborns from death and war.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any help you can provide 🌹🌺.

PLEASE TRUST AND COMPASSION CAN SAVE THIS FAMILY AND MANY MORE!!!

I've been in touch with Mohammed since he started with his very first blog some months ago, when that blog got deleted Tumblr erased all those conversations we had through dm's.

He is a very dedicated father and husband who is doing everything to keep his family safe while taking precious time and the little internet access he can get to ask for a bit of your time to learn his family's story.

They've made it to their first goal of €38,000, but now look to get funds for housing and education his kids got stolen from them with this genocide.

I know I'm just a no one, a little old blog more than a decade old, but I'm just asking for a bit of your time and let YOU decide to trust him.

Let's give them a chance for a calm safe life!!!

Right now they're at:

€49,537/€58,000

Together we can make a difference!!

Donations and reblogs are greatly appreciated!!!

Hello my dear friends

🛑 STOP SCROLLING PLEASE 🍉🍉🍉

I am Mohammad Matar , a civil engineer. I am a father of two children, Imad, 3 years old. Rima, 6 months We lived a comfortable life and I owned a car . I used to live in an apartment in Khan Yunis, then I moved to an apartment in Gaza City.

I OWN a company that works in the field of contracting and selling building materials with five employees, and engineering equipment, a trailer, a forklift, and rams. My life was like paradise.

Suddenly, on October 7, everything turned like a dream. I woke up to the sound of missiles and explosions. My wife was pregnant with my little girl. I tried and escaped from my apartment in Gaza City and headed to the safe areas, which I do not know where they are. The sound of death and destruction is everywhere.

what can i do !! I was displaced south to the central city

He stayed there for two months, then came the second exodus to the city of Rafah, then the third exodus to the city of Nuseirat, then the fourth exodus to the city of Deir al-Balah, and one exodus after it. Our life is like hell. We do not have the energy to absorb this amount of pressure.

In February 2024, my wife was about to give birth. I could not provide clothes for my newborn daughter, nor milk, nor diapers, due to the brutal war and the scarcity of financial resources. Just writing and thinking about this thing makes my condition worse than tragedy.

I learned the English language and am currently studying the Spanish language. I obtained a degree in water engineering. I was dreaming of myself and my company, but everything went to waste. I did not imagine that one day in the wind I would get what happened and live in a battlefield after home and become unemployed after being the owner.

My dear brothers and sisters, I did not accept one day to receive charity, but I had everything and I lost everything. Your support for me, even if it is a little, will change my life and the lives of my children so that I can provide them with milk, pampers, and safety, rebuild my home, and restore my life for the better.

I put my family first in everything. My children are the most precious thing. I have this life. I hope they live a more beautiful and better reality

Your support for me will strength my resilience and will keep me holding up . Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Hi everyone! If you haven't met Deema (@dima96yousef), allow me the pleasure of introducing you to her! She is a pharmacist, a university student, and a wonderful mother of one. Her child Yousef has esophageal varices (a disability in which the veins of the esophagus are enlarged), and needs urgent medical care that is currently unavailable in Gaza.

Between that, the danger in Gaza, and the fact that their home was destroyed, Deema and her family are looking to evacuate Gaza. With only €4,192 raised of the goal of €25,000, they're pretty far from their goal, but together we can change that! Please donate anything you can spare to her, even if that's just €5, and don't forget to boost her posts and follow her blog!

(Also, heads-up: donors can get the chance of winning a collector's edition of the Wrinkle in Time series!)
