The two-state solution is the normalisation of occupation, of colonialism, of chronic temporariness. And everyone knows it. We are not waiting for permission to take care of each other.</p><p>1.

<p>This is going to be the hill I die on: a small number of social media followers is better than a large number of social media followers. This is especially true if your small number of followers know you or have met up with you in real life. </p><p>This has been my experience over the last few decades of my life. I feel that social media is just better if it's small-scale rather than big. When your community becomes too big, you hardly know them, and they probably don't even have much of a connection with you. How do you know a million people anyway? But it is much easier to know at least 50 people in a following of 100.</p><p><a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#socialmedia</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a></p>

Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended. This week’s mutual aid roundup listed twelve requests and eleven Palestinian campaigns that need movement. Just like me, they need help. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something, or maybe because this is the only thing I can give them. We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. If you can't or won't help me, then help them. Support them within your capacity in the way that matters—materially, socially, however you can.
