Reblogging because I have never seen her post and it's the most important part of the story. I have, of course, already read the tweets of her former coworker, and in my Naivety I thought that there has been an happy ending. That the problem, in some way, has been resolved, or that she was compensated because she had to work harder than everyone else. I feel foolish thinking about it now. Her experience, as the experiences of many, highlight the known bigger problem of our society.
The society in which we live make us think we are constantly at war. There's a war between genders. There's a war between skins. There's constantly a war between people who don't want to lose privilege, people who don't think about the fact that their privilege can just be shared, instead of shifted, and people who need that privilege, to live and thrive.
But we are becoming more aware. Our generation, and the ones to come, are generations of fighters and for that, I'm optimistic about the future.
First post trying again at doing something regularly. PEOPLE, may I introduce you in what I will hopefully develope as a strain of disconnected, mostly illogical and uselessly philosophical Thoughts!
Happy Pride Month
Oh my goodness*-* I love everything about this, it feels so kind*-* and it's so helpful*-*
I remember hearing several years ago that people were getting burnt out on the overuse of the word “mindfulness”, which is super unfortunate. I hope it doesn’t have too many negative associations for you, because it’s a super practical skill!
Virgo moon, I've got Demetra! 🌸

I was born within religion. As in almost all christian religions, I too was taught that people were to be loved unconditionally... under certain conditions. I left that world now, with great cost. I feel privileged nonetheless, because the price that I paid wasn't as high as the one that other people, from the same religion, pay.
Every day, I'm amazed by the fact that a person can love unconditionally despite any diversity. We have the Incredible opportunity to love and to celebrate our differences, as the world is connected like never before. I never felt so free to love before, and I hope to experience this feelings throughout all of my life, and that others, now blinded by hate, will reach this realisation, if not in this life, at least in the next. There is nothing more freeing than loving unconditionally, and hate is nothing but a heavy boulder chained at our feet.
You should be furious that people trying to escape genocide in Gaza, Sudan, Congo all need raise an absurd amount of money just to survive
You should be furious at how these people went through atrocity after atrocity and still need raise tens of thousands of dollars to get away
You should be furious at this insidious thing that completely encapsulates how capitalism feeds off of blood
My story began with the loss of my parents and four of my sisters who were bombed and lost their lives along with their children after the events of October 7 and the severe war on Gaza. Now, my wife, children, and I are displaced, without parents or siblings, living with our little cat that we embrace among us.
Recently, I moved to the south of the Gaza Strip, fearing for the lives of my children. We left behind our memories and our new home, for which we had not finished paying the installments, in addition to losing my job. Currently, I live in a tent that does not protect me from the heat of summer or the cold of winter, and without the minimum necessary livinng basics including water, food medical care, clothe and even bedding .
Under these difficult circumstances, after five attempts at displacement and narrowly escaping death from the bombing, I am trying with all my might to protect my family, the most precious thing I have.
My dreams were shattered, and my house was destroyed, and I found myself living in a tent no larger than 4 square metres. My work turned from a tailor to a street vendor in order to barely buy a few crumbs of bread to feed my children.
My main goal with this donation is to protect my children, my wife, and our scaredy cat and evacuate them to a safe place away from the ongoing wars. The funds will be used to cross the Egyptian border and bring basic needs and treatments to create a more stable conditions for my family. Approximately $18,000 will be allocated for travel expenses, and around $6,000 for securing suitable housing for a couple of months. As for the medical treatment costs, the exact figure will be determined after undergoing examinations in hospitals in the Arab Republic of Egypt & it gonna be in average $8,000. The remaining amount ($8,000) will be used to establish a small project to sustain our daily living, enabling me to provide for my children and wife.
Every donation will make an enormous difference in helping me save my family.
I feel very sad and embarrassed to ask for help, but I have no other options left. I know that this request is difficult, but I also know that there is still humanity and living consciences and I believe in miracles.
Your support during this extremely difficult time will give us hope in the midst of devastation and despair.
If you have any inquiries or questions, feel free to ask me, please!
Sincere greetings & thanks
I'm sorry if my English is bad, it's not my first language!
Having different kind of animals with different kind of personalities really makes you appreciate every kind of love manifestation*-*
I've been out of my home for almost two days and one second after putting my foot inside my lovely, little cutie pie of a dog came running to me and spent ten minutes literally ON me, licking and light biting until she tired herself out.
The loveliest of the storms.
Two seconds after she finished it's the turn of my lovely potato of a cat (one of the three). She's much more discreet, and she limits to sit on my lap and purr SO loud, with her intense, emotionless stare. Not that she needs many expressions to demand cuddles.
Point is, they express love in different ways, but none of this ways is better than the other. All of their behaviours show the love and affection they have for me, and I can receive and notice it because I know how they show it.
I think it's the same for people. Every person show love differently, an example can be neurodivergent people that show love differently from neurotypical people. But if we are receptive to all kind of love manifestations we could see it in places we never thought before!
(I am excluding the types of toxic "love")
I love being a nobody on here because I could make one of those ‘if this gets ‘x’ amount of notes I’ll go and actually work on my original works’ and it wouldn’t get near the goal
