Where can I find people who are talking about South Asian autistics. Experiences of growing up with a language that has no name for adhd or autism. I think it's how I went undiagnosed until adulthood despite having majority traits #ActuallyAutistic#adhdautism
When it was Qatar 2022 BBC, Sky News and ITV News were doing segments for 40 days and 40 nights about human rights abuse and campaigning for alcohol to be allowed during the World Cup. But USA is refusing to allow a referee and Iran’s team in and they’ve gone quiet. Cowards
They dropped so many bombs on Gaza and released over 30 million tonnes of CO2. There's also the data centers, one of them reportedly releasing 23 atomic bombs worth of heat into the atmosphere. We are also razing forests faster than we can regrow them.
I genuinely feel sick. This is just beyond anything the mind can fathom. And I keep thinking of what Ta-Nehisi Coates said. If you can’t draw the line at the genocide in Gaza, you can’t draw it anywhere else. Moral failure, on a mass and collective scale, brought us here.
Greta Thunberg:
“The President of the United States just said an entire civilization will die tonight, and never be brought back again, and no one is reacting.
This speaks for itself.
We have normalized genocide.
We have normalized the annihilation of entire peoples.
We have normalized the systematic destruction of the biosphere we all depend on.
We have normalized corrupt, racist war criminals acting with total impunity.
But it is not too late to say: STOP. If we don’t, we have no right to call ourselves human.”
If you are born into a family with financial security I actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law
Things you need to know before moving to Dubai
- The UAE was known as “the desert of Oman” as a state, it was propped up by the UK in 1971. Making it only 54 years old.
- The reason the country developed very quickly is for a number of reasons
1. They used slavery for their infrastructure and still use slave labour from Africans and South Asians to maintain their wealth.
2. Their resources, agriculture, minerals and more were stolen from countries in Africa and some in the Middle East, such as Yemen.
3. They are complicit in several acts of destruction and destabilization in the global south. Strongly allied with imperialist states such as the UK and the USA.
- Their government is filled with raging Zionists who not only normalize with Israel, but go above and beyond to help them actively commit genocide against Palestinians. Buying houses in Palestine and then selling them to Israeli settlers, sending spyware disguised as aid to Lebanon, increased their daily flights on their airlines to Israel when other airlines were cancelling theirs and SO MUCH MORE.
- AND LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST!! They are behind the worlds largest humanitarian and displacement crisis in recorded history. Killing 400k+ Sudanese people by funding and protecting the terrorist RSF.
By willingly choosing to move to Dubai, you are essentially saying you are okay with genocide(s), slavery and the deaths of millions of people, still happening as we speak. Your need for “luxury” and materialism will get you no where.
When I defended my Master’s thesis under the bombing and rubble of Gaza, the very first question I was asked was:
“Why defend it under these circumstances? What benefit will it bring you now?”
I smiled and answered:
“Maybe I will die holding this degree, maybe it will be a symbol of resilience and strength, and maybe I will inspire others not to abandon their dreams — even in danger, even when death is near.”
This is who I am.
I am proud of what I did.
Proud that I defended my Master’s during the war.
Proud to have become a Palestinian researcher ✌️
This is where my mom was born. It’s not called Tel Aviv. It’s called yaffa. My grandfather had a coffee shop, a home, land and a bakery. All taken by settlers.
Dear world, this is what matters now:
1. Keep writing, posting, and sharing about the 12 heroes to pressure Israel to release them immediately.
2. Start preparing more ships, everywhere. If they stop one, a hundred must follow. If they capture 12, then thousands will rise.
The Freedom flotilla was attacked during the night. The ship was rammed, boarded and the 12 volunteers kidnapped. This is more reprehensible behaviour from the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv.
