Some of y’all act like basic manners, general human decency, and kindness to others is SO MUCH emotional labor. I don’t like that shit.

this age of thinking you don’t owe anyone anything in the name of “protecting your energy” there are many other ways of protecting ur energy without being a total ass to others. yall. do better.

At half past ten, on a warm June night, the skies of Trespiedras and the surrounding desert were alight with a crimson glow. Residents of the town took to their driveways, front yards, and living room windows to witness the once-in-a-lifetime spectacle; a pulsating red comet, tearing across the night sky, reflected in the eyes of each and every Trespiedran.

TO UKRAINIAN FRIENDS

If you are looking for an emergency exit from Ukraine, Poland will open EIGHT safety points on the border with Ukraine (you will get warm food, medical help and from there you will be guided to safety) in two of our voivodeships: lubuskie and podkarpackie. It is confirmed by the Polish Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, Paweł Szefernaker.

SOURCES:

I've marked those voivodeships on the map!

Please share because it can save lives!!!!!!

EDIT2: ADDITIONAL HELP FROM MY UNIVERSITY LOCATED IN THE SOUTH OF POLAND (more precisely in Katowice or Sosnowiec):

"Dear!

Members of the community of the University of Silesia!

Today we are all Ukrainians.

Twice in our history we have been deprived of our own state by the aggression of empires, and thus cut off from the sovereign exercise of the rights and values of a free, democratic world. Without this foundation, the real university cannot exist as well.

Our Ukrainian friends, we understand your suffering, we join in indignation and protest against the aggression of the Russian regime, we declare all possible help.

Our community consists of students, PhD students and employees from many former Soviet republics. We assure you that everyone who respects the rights of our community will find peaceful shelter, and good conditions for studying, research and work here. Please, be attentive to anyone who needs help in this difficult time.

For specific activities, Plenipotentiary of the Rector for Aid for Ukraine was appointed (Sylwia Ledwoch, phone number: 573 490 580), to whom you can report both the need for aid, and support initiatives, including the willingness to individually get involved in helping (food collection, support in finding a job or a flat, medical assistance, etc.). Additionally, we are preparing system support for studying and working people from Ukraine regarding education, legal advice, health and psychological advice, as well as support in finding a job or a place to live. You might also be interested in help from our translators and interpreters.

The Student Government of the University of Silesia, the Doctoral Student Government, and the Student Legal Clinic at the Faculty of Law and Administration is at your disposal and declares any help in matters related to studying and residing in Poland.

In the following days, we will launch a website with all necessary information on our actions and support.

We hope that Ukraine will defend the most precious value of any country – independence – and the civilised world will save the global peace.

Let’s be together in mutual help.

HM Rector of the University of Silesia

Student Government of the University of Silesia

Doctoral Student Government of the University of Silesia"

The letter written by the university authorities was posted in four languages!

Doc, what are the top five items food banks LOVE to receive? I'm doing a collection soon and want to ask for specifics.

Avatar

MONEY. WE WANT MONEY. MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY. WE CAN DO SO MUCH WITH IT. WE HAVE ACCESS TO DEALS YOU COULD NEVER. MONEY

That aside.

 I’m only going to talk about food items but if your food bank takes personal items, a lot of times diapers, feminine hygiene products, etc, are very very welcome. 

1) Canned chicken and beef 

looooooove this stuff. It’s expensive, it lasts forever, it tastes good and it can be used a variety of ways. This stuff is fucking catnip to food banks, it’s so hard for us to provide proteins. 

2) Fancy nut butters

Peanut butter is a standby for food banks as a shelf-stable inexpensive protein, but if we have a family with a kid with a peanut allergy that’s not going to work. Non-peanut butters are expensive and it’s something we hardly ever see donated. (we also like peanut butter, but that’s easier for us to buy ourselves than non-peanut butters)

3) Canned or packaged tuna

You may notice a trend here in shelf-stable proteins. And yeah. That’s basically it, so I’m not going to keep harping on it. But this stuff is a godsend. 

4) Easy breakfast things for kids (Granola bars, instant oatmeal, and the like) 

Whatever Donald Trump tells you, most people who get food from food banks are actually working their asses off and so they have to leave Obama to raise their baby or whatever, and they don’t have a lot of time in the morning. Things like this that kids can make for themselves are expensive. (Another trend you may be noticing–donate shit that costs a lot of money. That helps us more than all the shitty green bean cans in the world) But they are so helpful for busy working families where the parents may not have a set schedule and sometimes little Amanda is making her own breakfast before she runs off to school. Don’t let kids go to school hungry. 

5) Shelf-stable juice

This is one people never think of! But if you show up with a bunch of (preferably reduced sugar stuff) bottles of juice at my door, oh man, you are gonna get so many check mark and okay hand emoticons. This stuff is great for kids, and it doesn’t require refrigeration until it’s opened, so it works great for food drives.

But seriously, give money

And it’s way better food, too, anything you get prepackaged has A TON of sugar and/or salt in it…collecting cans may be more exciting than writing a check, but if the point is to help people, the check is going to get a lot more done

Yoooooo heads up for those of you with kids, I know this time of year schools start holding canned food drives so keep this in mind if you’re able to give.

I don’t think people realize how much of an impact this kind of support can have, I don’t think everyone knows what these little things can mean to us.

It may just be me, I don’t know. But every single time I see this on my dash or on someone’s blog or anywhere else, I kind of just breathe a sigh of relief. That’s one more person who cares. That’s one more person who doesn’t hate me.

Because it means so much, especially when all the media is spewing out is that I’m a terrible person and no one wants people like me near them. It means so much because I’m tired of people who won’t sit next to me in class, or who choose to join the longer line at the grocery store because they don’t want to be beside me and my family. It means so much when I have to lift my head any time someone says the words Islam or Muslim because I’m scared that they’ll say something that’ll hurt, when I have to pay attention to the news because who knows what so and so is saying now, who knows which of my people are being attacked now, who knows what’s going to happen to me now.

It means so much because I’ve been given the idea that the world is against me. And a huge part of it may be, but at least I’ve been reminded that some of it, just a small group of people, acknowledges that I’m a person too. That people like me are just that, people.

Maybe it’s just me, I don’t know. But now you do, so thank you for believing that I’m human when so many people don’t.

People in the UK, there will be a parliamentary debate in bringing in sanctions against Israel on the 14th of June (in 11 days), so please WRITE TO YOUR MPs. and demand that they attend.

As the literal creator of Israel, the UK has historically been very biased toward them, so the fact that they are willing to have a debate about sanctioning Israel is a HUGE step that will take us to the right direction. 

2: Put in your postcode 

3: Scroll down & find your MP 

4: Copy the template message given here: http://mpacuk.org/sanction-israel/

A cease-fire didn't stop the following:

  • IDF assaulting random Palestinians and detaining them.
  • The Is*aeli police detaining a 10 year-old for throwing a stone.
  • The shooting of a 15 year-old Palestinian girl in the back yard of her home.
  • The Is*aeli settlers storming into Al Aqsa with the protection of the IDF.
  • The gas bomb and rubber bullet attacks in Al Aqsa right after the cease-fire started which resulted in 15 Palestinians getting injured with bullets and shrapnel.
  • Palestinians getting threats of home demolitions and forced expulsion.
  • Gas bomb attacks at protestors trying to protect their homes from getting stolen to be given to settlers.

We need to keep speaking up. This has been going on for 7 decades. We have the chance to speak up and defend our Palestinian brothers and sisters. Use your platform.

Use Save Silwan in your hashtags! We can't stay silent!

Yazid and his kids need help, please don’t scroll! Anything helps!

Yazid and his kids are going to be totally out of food in the morning, and unfortunately I don’t have anything to send until I get payed. Yazid is also very concerned he has COVID, and if it worsens, is going to need help going to the doctor. I’m worried about him. :(

it's a trap. if someone in the states on unemployment puts in an application and doesn't come to the interview, or if they come to the interview but refuse the job offer, that gets reported to unemployment and that person can lose their unemployment benefits. then, with no income, they are suddenly desperate for wendy's job offer. it's sick.

They’re also filtering for people poor and desperate enough that a free breakfast sandwich is a big deal. Ie, people desperate enough to easily exploit.

Protip: if you're not on unemployment, this is a great way to waste the time and resources of these companies.

Sure, I'll turn in a job app for a sammich. I won't leave my job for it, but they don't gotta know that, do they?
