“Schofield has always pushed form in her novels, but she tips it off the cliff in this one“
fabulous apt description!
They revel in death. It is beyond grotesque. And we must stop them.

Today we'll double you! Reminder that every time you click “weekly” or “monthly” on a survival fund, it means a slice of dignity as well as dependable help in harsh, fragile conditions. This is our main ask for these six families, but do it for ANY family. chuffed.org/project/hope...
I’d just like to remind all of us who are scrambling to get rents paid that this is manufactured scarcity.
We absolutely have the money and the tools to prevent this crisis: the wealth and power brokers are just refusing.
A banner featuring a logo on the side with a painted anemone poppy and the handwriting-style text that says "Heal Minds Gaza" in a green circle. Next to it reads: "Heal Minds Gaza is a new initiative that will support children’s healing through therapeutic activities for self-esteem, social skills, and community-building. Support the first project for children who were detained in occupation prisons." The text is written on notebook paper cut in a circle. The banner is decorated with crayon sketches of hearts, stars, and squiggles in different colors.
Have you heard? This is for the KIDS!
Heal Minds Gaza will run workshops for children who were detained in occupation prisons: supporting their healing, confidence, & sense of community.
We have just WEEKS left to f/und it. Chip in: chuffed.org/project/hmg
Sick fucking people.

Sunset. The edges of a scarlet sunset in a deep blue sky. Swirling cloud. Houses. Bare trees.
Some beauty. In the midst of all that is unbeautiful.

Some words from Bara'a, whom we ALL know on here.

"...We estimate that a million satellites could mean that a teragram (one billion kgs) of alumina accumulates in the upper atmosphere – enough, alongside launch emissions, to significantly alter atmospheric chemistry and heating in dramatic ways we do not yet understand."

Let’s fund this quickly.
Full moon setting. Red and orange. A big fir tree to the left of the moon. A chimney also in the frame.
Morning. Some beauty. Some wonder. Some awe.
We've got way more need than donors today and eviction notices are starting to arrive. Can you sign a form to pay a rent directly or can you venmo us so our team of volunteers can pay more rents?!🌻
"It's much easier to pay someone’s rent than to try to help them recover from houselessness. Once there's an eviction on your record, everything becomes harder and more expensive. And there's all the trauma ... The risks of doing this are smaller than the impact of not paying the rent."
I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE.
Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help?

We keep us housed 💛
Please share and help if you can! Thank you!
Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!
A golden graphic titled “Sabr for Spark Space.” The background has a watercolor effect. The text says: “Spark Space is a youth-led volunteer project that is still serving community members and students with internet and electricity, along with upcoming projects to rebuild, resource young people, and cultivate resilience in Gaza. We’re meeting their sabr (patience) with our boldness: help keep the lights on. linktr.ee/sparkworkspace.” Next to the text is an illustration of a cactus pear in yellow and green.
Once a week, we keep Spark open 💛 Most people can't access internet let alone survival funds. These volunteers have been providing internet to the community for a YEAR—so people can access remote jobs + earn income. To EAT!

Iranians came together to bid a final farewell to 168 young girls, aged 7 to 12, who were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike targeting their elementary school.
this is my good friend’s fundraiser, we’ve been friends for over a decade and I am doing everything I can to help her get out of Kansas and to a better situation.
I am able to provide safe housing and locally coordinated supports and anything you can do, just sharing even, helps tremendously
Thank you, Tavia. 🖤🖤

I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.
