Proud of this one!
Weird that Oklahoma, famously full of Reservations for our indigenous population, is doing bad in education, healthcare, quality of life, and poverty.
Weird that it went red when, like a lot of states that have a lot of Natives, it has laws that make it harder for indigenous people to vote. Like how you can't register to vote if you don't have an address the Post Office delivers to, PO Boxes don't count, but also there are laws that say you can't get US mail delivered on the Rez and have to have a PO Box.
It's almost like there are systematic reasons for places with large populations of PoC often look more conservative than they really are.
Gerrymandering, voting and ID restrictions that make it hard to register to vote, few polling places that have been purposely given not enough machines, carceral rates to strip voting rights, and other factors I can't think of right now because I'm so angry at this kind of smug self-congratulating othering bullshit all play into why this happens. No one wants to be last in education and first in poverty.
Additionally there is a significant size difference between these two states and their population densities are very different. Massachusetts has 7,001,399 people in 10,554 square miles. Oklahoma has 4,053,824 in 69,899 square miles. I wonder how population density affects availability of resources. I wonder how many of those red counties have fewer than 100 people in them.
But, honestly, it's mostly the blatant racism in this post that's pissing me off.
It’s not just about surviving; it’s a dream for a simple, safe life, far from the sounds of bombing and the smell of smoke. At 15, I have big ambitions despite my young age.
- My story is more than a plea for survival; it’s a call to fulfill a long-delayed dream—to complete my studies and build a new life for my family, away from fear and daily challenges.
- I lost two of my uncles in this war, adding to my family’s pain as we try to hold on despite harsh conditions. Even the basics have become hard to get, and their costs add to our daily struggle.
- You might feel powerless, but you can give my family hope. Your support offers me a chance to build a new future full of hope and optimism.
Do not despair of the elections, you can save a family and give it hope. With your support, you give me a chance to overcome the pain and build a new future full of hope and optimism.
To support my family here🇵🇸

she was eaten by a music spider
how would you continue under these conditions?
even though @hildanasr1 has been fundraising on here for several months and been vetted by mohammed ayesh w gazaevacuationfunds since october 9, her family has barely received any donations.
on top of surviving under constant shelling, losing all sense of stability, living with nine people crammed into a tiny tent afflicted by snakes and insects, struggling to find adequate food every day, and the terror of being pregnant (!!) for the first time when healthcare infrastructure is constantly at the brink of collapse--hilda has to go through the demeaning, frustrating process of navigating tumblr and twitter to ask for help. she endures constant disappointment and annoyance because it's her family's best shot to survive.
this is exhausting. these people are exhausted! what else does she have to do to win our attention and sympathy?
right now her campaign is at €1,391 / €50K. let's get hilda to €2,000 by friday! please ask yourself if you can spare even the price of a coffee.
€1,885 at time of writing. Didn't quite hit 2k by Friday, but there isn't much left to go!
Hey y'all, we just paid rent and it was our entire paycheck, and then another bill came out on autopay today, so we're $15 in the red right now and don't get paid for another two weeks. Can anyone toss us a couple bucks so we don't get hit with overdraft fees?
(Venmo & Kofi if you prefer not to use paypal)
got out of the red but I'm going to keep this up since I still have to get food and gas until my next paycheck, thanks for the help everyone
I am really ashamed to have to resort to this but it is my last resort, I am currently unemployed and it was something that came out of the blue, I was not expecting to be suddenly fired from my job and I have been struggling a lot to be able to get ahead with the payments that I have to make for my school and dental treatment,I used my savings to pay off some outstanding debts, but currently I only have what is necessary to cover my share of household expenses. my parents have been helping me in what was possible for them, but currently we have rent and bills to pay and it has been getting more and more difficult to be able to sustain the necessary expenses for all of this, I have tried to get a job that fits my school schedule, but I have not been successful since the job I had was very flexible in terms of hours and I could adapt to work, study and carry out my current routine, I am very sorry for doing this but if any of you could support me I would really appreciate it infinitely, I am also willing to take any kind of drawing commission for any type of donation, I just have to be able to cover the expenses of these 2 months in terms of school and dental treatment, since I genuinely do not want to have to stop my studies again because of this situation ( I am very close to getting my certificate in April next year), during the end of year holidays I will focus on getting a new job to be able to continue, it really is very unexpected how things can change from one moment to another and unfortunately for now I do not have anyone else who can support me and im really sorry
Anything you can donate would really help. I just need to get together what I need to pay for these 2 months of school and supplies before the end of the year!
here is my p*ypal: lluviaymiel
I have until November 11th to 17th to make my next payment!
IM REALLY CLOSE FOR GETTING THIS FIRST PAYMENT PLEASE HELP ME OUT IF U CAN SHARE OR DONATE I WILL INFINITELY THANK U
she touch my yippee till i yay
update on @/ghada-family
as of 11/15/24 the campaign is at €4,580/€20,000 and Ghada has expressed worry over donations recently slowing down/stopping completely.
to refresh those who may not remember or simply haven't seen my other posts Ghada's family consists of his elderly parents (Nabil, 62 and Fatima, 57), his younger brother (Khaled, 23), his 2 married brothers (Mohamed and Ahed) and each of their 3 kids (Lama, Nabil, Amir and Fatima, Iman, Noor). the family is still trying their best to survive the harsh conditions they're subjected to and aim to raise the enough to help them cross over from Gaza into Egypt. Ghada told me that just today he'd lost his uncle and his son to an attack. he doesn't want to lose anyone else. if you can: reblog, donate, and keep the family in your thoughts.

GAZAN BOY NEEDS URGENT MEDICAL TREATMENT (SHRAPNEL EXTRACTION FROM HEAD)
A Gazan friend of mine outside Tumblr has recently contacted me with urgent and terrible news about one of her family members.
[ID: On the left, a photo of a partially destroyed building that has weathered an airstrike, and on the right a photo of two children holding toy purses and smiling serenely towards the camera. /End ID]
Haitham, who is here on tumblr @haithamnayef, and has been vetted by Mohammad @ayeshjourney on @gaza-evacuation-funds's list here at number 8 has endured a year of war without help and without a source of income.
He, his wife Sherin, and their 4 children, have endured constant displacement, homelessness, lack of basic needs, and constant terror for a year. Countless of their friends and family members have been martyred.
Now, Haitham is forced to ask for our help because the unspeakable has happened. His son was struck in his head with shrapnel.
I don't think I need to explain the danger of leaving a little boy with such a critical injury untreated for any amount of time, and yet he has been left untreated for far too long, and continues to worsen by the second. This is why we need to fight for him to receive treatment outside of Gaza as quickly as possible.
I always reiterate that time is of the essence, and that every second counts, and right now I mean this more than ever. Haitham and his family cannot bear the thought of losing their son.
I certainly can't bear it, and I know you can't either, so I'm begging you to act in any way you can, even if it's sending this campaign link to your friends and acquaintances.
The campaign has only received 9 donations so far, putting it at 158outofitsgoalof158 out of its goal of 158outofitsgoalof50,000. We can't let this stand.
[Tagging for reach under the cut.]
