I actually invite you to boycott Croatia because:

Don't let this fool you:

Boycott us and say why are you doing that. Croatia supported genocide for too long. It needs to be punished.

So, Lemmy, will you boycott coming to Croatia?

Before this I congratulated Eid to my bestie from Gaza, then I watched some astrology video randomly, also because we talked about the crescent and because I searched for the date of the crescent I found out that this morning was a solar eclipse and then this astrologer on YouTube said that it means a death of a king and I prayed Netanyahu dies this weekend. For happy Eid.

Then finally BadEmpanada appeared on a live stream.

(I'm atheist and I don't believe in astrology, but, gosh, it would be so awesome if Netanyahu dies for the Eid. Karmic justice for Gaza.)

Cheers 🍻

My friend just informed me she lost her brother in law and her niece. Killed in bombings. Three weeks ago she lost her father.

Since burial costs 300$ or else the bodies end in a mass grave, I'm kindly asking if anyone can donate to http://spot.fund/lj4zktsc

Edit: Thanks so much to these two people who donated. It's beyond appreciated. Thank you.

I'm trying to help my friends in Gaza, so I created a flash fundraising for them. I hope you will join this cause as well.

Open the link, read our cause and donate. My friends need you and I need you to join me helping them.

Thank you and happy New Year.

Shireen and I became friends two or three months ago when I started to help her family and since then we're talking almost daily. She had a lot of problems setting up a campaign on GoFundMe and kissed a lot of doors from charity organizations which gave her no reply, even though she provided all the required documentation (she even sent me her father's passport photo so I don't doubt her honesty).

Because of those obstacles, her family in Gaza received very few donations and relies on humanitarian aid, which is extremely scarse on the north because of the inhumane siege. Her friends and I help as much as we can, but for a young man with Down syndrome, her father that has sepsis and her diabetic mother it's simply not enough.

That's why I'm sharing her campaign she managed to set on SpotFund recently.

Please join me in helping her family. 🙏

If you can, share her family's story on your social media accounts as well.

Thank you for your time and generosity.

Harsh winter is coming, if you can, please help.

Self explanatory. Who bombs people with such an artillery??!!!

Self explanatory. I had to cut it because of duration.

I'm trying to find decent sneakers that would last at least 3 years, preferably more, but that are not genocidal brands. It would be awesome if they didn't support slave labor and animal cruelty as well.

Internet doesn't provide help. https://huffsports.com/which-sports-brands-support-palestine/ Adidas? Nike? Puma?! Aren't those brands which actually support State of occupated Palestine called Israel?

Edit: Checked out some ethical sustainable brands in EU. Expensive, so I'll see if I want to spend that amount of money on sneakers, but, having Miret/Earthbound ones I bought on a really good discount, seems that's a good long-term sustainable eco ethical investment.

R as ret ar ded.

I'm from Balkans and I think there's no swearing anywhere in the world like in Balkans. We use slurs A LOT and pretty casually, so I am always surprised when I am censored on some word online.

It happened just now. The R word was removed from my comment, so I wanted to find out what's going on with it.

Since I talk to people from all around the world, I don't want to be an ignorant fool and I want to learn why it isn't ok to say something, so I can implement it without the feeling I'm being deprived of free speech.

Again, take in consideration the Balkan thing if you think I'm trolling with this post. I'm not. I swear to you, the shit we're able to say are insane and we really think it's no big deal.

So, when did R word became a slur and why it's not ok to call someone R word as an insult?

Thank you for the education. A human learns while grows and until dies.

EDIT: You're really nice community and I am really thankful you've explained this to me. As I said, I can be a Slow Poke sometimes and growing where I grew, some shit has just stuck as normal and I am glad to unlearn it. My heart is leftist, but I grew up as a Catholic in the midst of the war where we learned a lot of hateful stuff as a normal part of identity. I want to fuck it off from me, so thanks, really.
