like imagine being a middle or upper class person blogging about farming as some pastoral stressfree escapism meanwhile actual agricultural workers and farmers both domestically and outside the usa have skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide, not to mention physical repreccussions of their backbreaking work, not to mention being underpaid or unpaid, not to mention working 10-15 hour days in blazing heat, or pouring rain, or snow, not to mention ice/abusive bosses/the entire ag industry fucking with undocumented agricultural workers, not to mention the massive collapse of small farms going under while megacorps gobble up more land and more resources and turn the local watersheds toxic and poison the air, not to mention the myriad of other horrifying shit happening to agricultural workers and farmers on a daily basis, especially workers and farmers of color. but like whatever hashtag farmcore is so wholesome and pure and calming.

i'd like to draw attention to a fundraising campaign for Hossam Bardaweel. Hossam's immediate family, his parents and his siblings, has been martyred. he's currently living in a tent with his neices and nephews and his campaign is still a long way from its goal.
this campaign was shared with me through direct contact with a palestinian whose campaign has been vetted and reached its goal alhamdulillah, and i trust its legitimacy. please donate any amount that you can spare!

fucking banger, wow
I will NEVER FORGET the Palestinian delegation showing up to Standing Rock. NEVER. THEY SHOWED THE FUCK UP EVEN FROM A WORLD AWAY.
Just one day after my brother died in the bombing, I suffered a severe hemorrhage that ultimately led to my birth inside the tent without any medical care, without my husband, without my family, only my child and my baby. The reason I survive is my children. The pain of my brother's death was greater than the pain of my daughter's birth. Please any amount that will save my children's lives

This youth from Palestine here, was called after finding his friend's house got bombed. They asked him to call his friend in order to determine his exact location so they can start digging.
Remember that in gaza there are no resources to dig people up from underneath the rubble, so civilians from the neighborhood have to use their own hands and be very careful because of the bodies underneath. I can't even imagine the trauma he's experiencing, his shaking voice and hands. I would never bear witnessing my best friend in such conditions and having to call them bc I'm not even sure they're alive.
How would anyone heal from this? And yet all are we asking for is just a ceasefire. This genocide should stop.
