israel is invading rafah today while everyone will be distracted by the oscars. don’t let yourself be distracted, keep eyes on rafah, keep eyes on palestine.
I have seen posts on Palestine get thousands on thousands of notes. If each person who engaged with them donated one dollar—literally just one; no more, no less—thousands of dollars would be raised to humanitarian aid in Gaza just like that.
I understand there’s the whole bystander effect going on. People are probably like “Well there’s likely someone out there donating right now, so they can probably do without my one puny dollar” wrong. One dollar makes a huge difference. Any amount you can afford can make a huge difference.
I’m not going to say every single person on here can afford to give up a dollar, because that’s absolutely insensitive to people’s individual situations—but if you can, please donate. So many of us on here aren’t swimming in money, but we still make it a point to donate, regardless of how little or how big a sum it is. I promise it adds up.
Quinta Brunson just became the second Black actress in Emmys history to win Lead in the Comedy category, 42 years after Isabel Sanford won for The Jefferson.
stay at home whenever you can. do not go to a damn concert. and as an immuocompromised person i am literally begging on my knees for you to WEAR A MASK. n95 or better if you can; surgical and cloth masks are absolutely much better than nothing and you Should wear them if they’re all you have, but n95s are much more effective protection against COVID.
my tone comes off as angry in this post because i am angry, but it’s mostly not directed at people who haven’t been masking because they’ve been ignorant. i’m angry because of our governments leaving us out in the cold to die. it’s not your fault if you didn’t have this information before, but now that you do, it IS your responsibility to do your part to not kill or severely disable those around you. the concerts can wait.
