But before you go back to your regular scheduling of stealing posts from Reddit and pretending they're your own, I think you're followers should know what the backlash against you is about.

Here's screenshots and a links to the posts you've quietly deleted:

NOTE: The person sending this ask is Mahmoud Balousha, a Palestinian refugee currently residing outside of the country. He's organizing several GFMs on behalf of his family, and is very much a real person.

Here's a post from his Palestinian friend (another long-time Tumblr user), with a reply from one of the people who has been in daily contact with Mahmoud and helped him set up a fundraiser.

Anyway, here's how writing-prompt-s decided to reply to Mahmoud's plea for help:

I'll repost my own reply here, since you never acknowledged it, and never apologized to Ahmed (90-ghost):

This is really not my story to tell. It feels very uncomfortable to shared Ahmed's history like this, and to see how he's been forced to be this public about his loss and trauma in order to be believed (and then to see you, still doubting him!).

Ahmed is now trying to adjust to a life in Egypt, still has most of his friends and family in Gaza, and is struggling just to cover his own living expenses in the city he's now a displaced refugee in.

The fact that you, from the safety of your home (Ahmed's has been turned to rubble by Israeli bombs), felt so comfortable dragging him and other Palestinians through the mud like this is despicable.

And you can read yourself from @/Killy, the person who initiated Ahmed's fundraiser when he was still in Gaza, the horrible effect this harassment campaign you've started has had on him:

Do you have any fucking conscience at all?

You never responded to any of this, and I know for a fact that you at least saw my reply, because shortly after, you made a new post doubling down where you tried to imply Ahmed had faked his entire blogging history:

And again, my reply, which you also didn't respond to:

You've done real, material harm to the Palestinians you're dragging through this. And I think you're very well aware of that, you just don't care and you never will.

Here's the donation links again:

And lastly, if you want to accuse me of contributing to spreading scams, that's fine. My conscience is clear. I'd rather take the risk of accidentally promoting a scam (and I've seen no evidence that I have so far done so) than keep silent and deny help to people desperately trying to survive a genocide.

EDIT: and now you're sharing asks from @/prismatic-bell, a racist, Zionist blogger who once publicly threatened to dox a Native American by detailing, step by step, how easy it would be because of how small the First Nation group they belonged to was.

if you think you might be pregnant, get your hands on a test. you don’t need the fancy digital ones. the ones you can buy at places like the dollar tree work just as well. buy a few and take one every day until your period comes on if you need to. if there is a FAINT line you aren’t sure about (sometimes tests have something called an indent that makes a shadow that can be mistaken as a very very faint line), test again the next day. as a general rule, morning is the best time to test for most people.

we were just as smart then as we are now

I mean besides the fact that some people actually use their posts for good, like activism and combating misinformation, there's just posting for the sake of posting which is its own reward.

They're basically a type of tutelary spirit of the sauna. Whenever you build a sauna a sauna gnome will eventually move in. I mean you can always expedite the process by going to someone else's sauna and telling everyone there that you've just built a sauna and it's such a shame that you don't have a sauna gnome yet, so the local sauna gnome will put the word on the grapevine that any sauna gnomes in need of a sauna know that there's a new sauna in town.

And they basically take care of the sauna for you, making sure it doesn't burn down and that it works properly. But they're also capricious and vindictive: to stay on their good side you gotta make sure to behave properly in the sauna (the sauna is no place for drunkenness or obscenity, in fact going to the sauna should be treated almost as a somber religious ritual), you gotta greet them when coming and going, and it's customary to leave them a vihta/vasta (a bundle of birch branches with the leaves on, used for cleaning up in the sauna) and to leave them one last löyly (a very specific term for the steam that rises from the sauna's stove, called "kiuas") before you leave so the sauna gnome can enjoy the saunaing.

Sci-fi basically exists to help humanity to avoid blunders like this. It takes a developing technology or concept or a social issue and asks, "Where is this going? What if we push it to the extreme? How would it look if it developed on another planet? What types of exploitation can or does this thing cause? What if it was happening to My Group? What are its weaknesses?" And it socializes far-off technologies and issues before they become real, so, for instance, people had some basis to form an opinion when they heard Dolly the sheep was cloned.
