Your gateway to endless inspiration
for them. for your siblings. for yourself. we have to fight. I believe in you, we're all in this together.
I don’t know how much longer I’ve got
Life has fucked us over a lot
It may be a minute, it may be a millennium
All we’ve got left is alcohol and bottles of valium
And the feeling we’re wasting away
Nothing left to do but decay
We’ve got something to do, something to say
Everything to lose, no reason to stay
We may speak like we know a lot
But in the end we know our wit’s all we’ve got
We fight for our future, with all that we’ve got
We fight our future, because like it or not
We haven’t got much time and we haven’t got much money
We haven’t got much food and we don’t think that’s funny
We laugh away our lives to hide the pain
We live and we die, afraid to fade
Away into the nothingness or the afterlife
We use what we have left as a way to fight
We may get some shit wrong, it’s inevitable
Since birth we’ve been told we’re inimitable
But the world we live in tells us otherwise
Rich waging war while we slowly die
Dying takes forever for those afraid to die
I don’t care enough anymore to continue to lie
Pretend I have plans for a future so bright
When all that’s ahead is fire and knives
Gunpowder, teargas and broken minds
As we watch on the news as people like us die
When people who raised us tell us not to fight
To give up is a quiet death;
To fight for our future
When it’s a hopeless mess
They say I’m a pessimist but maybe I see
Something more than apathy
I look at people my age and see something inside
Something worth living for, for something to die
Fight for that future ‘til my final breath
Because I’ll be damned if I have a quiet death.
I think this is important for me to say, especially as someone who is far below the poverty line and disabled myself.
Now is the time to get fat, especially for people who are going to be put at risk by tariffs and restrictions on food stamps.
Now is the time to learn how to forage and how to use herbs to prevent and treat simple ailments.
Now is the time to learn first aid, how to stitch wounds, how to prevent a bullet wound from killing someone.
Now is the time to make plans to help disabled folks who can't run or defend themselves.
Now is the time to build muscle if you are physically able.
Now is the time to learn how to mend or create clothing.
Now is the time to try and transfer to physical media, and to transfer important information into something physical.
Now is the time to learn media literacy and how to decipher fake news.
Now is the time to understand that being a doomer will help no one, especially not yourself.
Things are going to shit. Prepare yourself as well as you are able. Don't spend your time worrying about impending doom, that won't help you. But what will help you is being prepared for things to go wrong. Start being more loving to the people who deserve it. Start taking care of yourself so that if at some point you can't, you'll have more time to change that fact. Start being hopeful. Start being angry if you aren't already. Start forgiving yourself, because you are your biggest ally. Start learning. About yourself. About how to support yourself. About the world. I love you, and we will all get through this via the aid of ourselves and others.
I am going to burn the state of Oklahoma to the goddamn ground
I'm joining in on the trend of making polls to capture your attention with the hope that you'll keep reading to hear about Mounir Raed Alanqar from Gaza (number 8 on the vetted gfms spreadsheet) who messaged me earlier today.
this is what they sent
they are only 19 and fundraising for themselves and their younger sister Sham, who is 4 years old and developing a skin condition.
Please donate to their GFM or at least share their account and their story like I am doing. at time of posting they gave raised €1786 / €35000 and the last donation was 7 hours ago!!!
thank you so much for donating/sharing this post and the posts on their blog, every little counts. we will see a free palestine and we will see it in all of our lifetimes, Sham and Mounir Raed included if you help them out🫶
