Okay for anyone who lives under a rock illegal alien is for all intents and purposes a slur and not a phrase that Donald trump made up 2 days ago to be quirky

bro am i going crazy out here or did "illegal aliens" used to be a term that people avoided repeating even to mock bigots because it's like. wildly dehumanizing and offensive and not worth giving credence to in the public discourse .... everyone's just. saying it now ?

TIME SENSITIVE: HELP MARAM AND AHMED REACH €35K IN 4 DAYS

I'll keep this post shorter in hopes to attract and keep more attention: my friend Ahmed, his wife Maram, and their three children Habiba (4), Kareem (2), and Muhammad (1) have been trapped in Gaza amidst genocide for 11, almost 12 months. Maram and Muhammad have struggled with malnutrition, Maram has suffered from potentially lethal hepatitis, and all have faced relentless bombings, starvation, disease, and 11 displacements. They are fundraising to evacuate Gaza when the border opens, and as GoFundMe has been closing campaigns without warning and the bank is located in an area under the occupation's siege, anything could happen -- making reaching their goal as SOON as possible absolutely vital.

I hope to help them reach €35,000 by the end of the day Sunday, enough to ensure the family has at least the amount needed to evacuate, and then on to their ultimate goal of €40k. I have personally seen multiple modes of verification and can attest to this family's legitimacy as well as the legitimacy of their beneficiary -- Ahmed himself has confirmed multiple successful transfers. They have also been verified by @/el-shab-hussen and featured in a video by YouTuber Ro Ramdin.

€2,281 NEEDED. PLEASE DONATE!

TAGGING FOR REACH UNDER THE CUT

Americans be like “They never taught us that at school” as if they’re a little farm girl living in dustbowl Oklahoma during the 1930s. Like maybe if you ask peepaw real nice he will take you on the wagon to town on the next supply run and you can check out this hot new thing called “a public library” while he’s watering the horses. Or you could just google it.

okay we have GOT to put this phrase in circulation

The funniest thing about this is that it's an older guy saying it. Like I can just see a man his age in 2024 saying this. Built in future dated slang. Aged perfectly.

really helpful technique ^ once you know how to divide by halves and thirds it makes drawing evenly spaced things in perspective waaay easier:

care is deliberate and enduring

[Image ID: a series of six cartoon illustrations depicting how to hand wash a kufiya, titled “How to wash your kufiya & deliberate care for delicate things. Each step reads as follows: Add cold water and half a teaspoon of detergent to a large wash basin. Completely soak your kufiya for 10-20 minutes. Gently wring out the water without squeezing too hard. Lay your kufiya on a dry towel and roll it up, pressing gently. let it dry for 20-30 minutes. Unroll and air dry out of direct sun to maintain colour vibrancy. End ID]
