Kelela is proof that chasing your dream has no expiration date.
She didn't release her debut mixtape 'Cut 4 Me' until she was thirty. Now forty-three, @kelelam is still finding new listeners. On Apple Music radio, she spoke about the assumption that if you haven't made it by nineteen, you've missed your window. She shared, "I think we live in a culture of prodigiousness—if you don't do it out the gate, if you're not standing on a stage by the time you're 19, it might be over for you...I'm definitely proof that it's not over, guys."
Pushing past that feeling, she said, took real courage. Kelela is here to tell you that no one is too old, or too young, to make it happen. Pick up the mic, the MIDI, the instrument, etc. The time is now.
Acid attack victims rarely get justice in this country.
Sonali Mukherjee's case still haunts me. 23 years later, she's still waiting for justice, while her attackers got bail within a month and went on to live normal married lives. She is still living with the trauma.
a 32 year old hypebeast was never gonna fight the 9th largest military on earth. i think folks gotta understand that “police state” means what it says: there is no higher authority than the cops. not a politician, nobody
i actually think that quite a few non-british people think the jkr is Just spreading hate online and not actively involved in our politics and directly funding anti-trans legislation.

The Sameer Project started from a desire to help our Palestinian people differently - with dignity, without conditions, and in a way that returned agency instead of creating dependency.
We continued because the genocide continued.
And now, we are devastated to say that The Sameer Project is being forced to pause our daily operations.
Not because the need has decreased. Because the money has run out.
We are panicking. We are stressed. We are heartbroken because we know exactly what this pause means for the people who rely on us.
Mothers still need to feed their children. Families still need drinking water. The elderly and sick still need medication. People are still being killed in airstrikes and shootings while the occupation continues to manufacture deprivation by restricting aid.
We have always been an emergency response group. When you donated, we spent that money immediately on people who needed help NOW. We did not save it for some predictable tomorrow, because in Gaza tomorrow has never been promised.
Now we are reaching a point we never wanted to reach: we do not have enough coming in to keep responding.
This pause is not administrative. It is not harmless. When food, water, medicine, transportation, and emergency assistance disappear, people can die.
We desperately need you to understand the urgency of this moment.
Please help us restart operations. Please donate. Please share. Please do not let Gaza lose another lifeline.
In the coming days we will share with you exactly how to be part of the solution - how to bring The Sameer Project back. The need did not stop and neither can we. Stand with us…

reports from Gaza have declined because they’ve killed so many journalists. funds to survivors are declining because their fundraisers are shadowbanned. I know you want to move on but please consider sharing fundraiser links across your accounts it’s more urgent than ever
