@chielk@mas.to Thank you for sharing your experience and thank you for showing up for your friend. Funnily enough, this is the second time I have encountered someone who interprets mutuality into something that resembles a transactional relationship or equal exchange. Mutuality in mutual aid isn't that. If it were, it could never exist under occupation...

@finnsend@social.anoxinon.de No idea 😵‍💫 the server is throwing 502 errors and all I know is that it's down. Waiting for the admins to say what happened

Idk, you seem to hold so much anger towards poor and/or disabled people asking for help. Is shutting up or fighting your employer instead not an option? Or does humiliating people, throwing baseless accusations around, and casting doubt on people’s mutual aid requests make you feel better about selling your labour to capital every day?...

Ooh, that’s a really good distinction. I was already planning to test both sites on the VPS before changing DNS, but I hadn’t specifically framed it as testing whether the database + uploads are actually recoverable rather than just successfully copied. I’ll add that to the migration checklist. Thank you

Saw someone genuinely equating "all men are threats" to Islamophobia/anti-Muslim bigotry, using 9/11 as a rhetorical device, the other day, and my body reacted so viscerally before my brain even registered what was going on. The combination of the false equivalence, the implications of such a perspective, how it's deployed, to whom (to a brown...

There Is No Correct Way to Be Poor

Poverty is not a moral failure, and survival should not depend on obedience, productivity, or proving that you have suffered correctly. Poverty policing protects class hierarchy by scrutinising the poor while leaving concentrated wealth and power largely untouched.

Is Islam Compatible with Western Civilisation?

When someone declares that Islam is "incompatible with Western civilisation," why is the West automatically treated as the moral standard? Before you judge whether Islam fits your "Western" world, you must first prove that your world is morally defensible.

Rage Against the Machine: Toward Humane Systems of Mutual Aid

Humanitarian aid is sold as neutral and benevolent. On the ground, it is an outpost of empire. It registers, sorts, and disciplines the people it claims to save, and leaves untouched what wrecked them. In Palestine, it normalises occupation and freezes life in permanent limbo. In Sudan, it retreated and left devastation behind. In Congo, it manages displacement while extraction rolls on. States have even captured zakat and turned it into prestige and bureaucracy. Still, communities feed each other. Palestinian crowdfunding, Sudan's Emergency Response Rooms, and Team Congo RDC bypass the gatekeepers and put resources in people's hands, with no donor hierarchy. Share this work, and strengthen the mutual aid ecosystem.
