medicated and ready to make things

That woman never gendered me right once, but she shut up about Jesus long enough to feed people next to us bc she cared more about action than ideology. She also had a whole network of other church people who helped contribute $ to ingredients. We provided more and better meals together than in our "correct" silos

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

1- they deflect from the issue at the core of this, as if the issue is with lack of aid and not with Israel besieging a whole population and denying entry of food and basic life necessities while committing daily massacres against them.

2- people in gaza are crammed into very small areas. 2 million people are squeezed into about 30% of gaza as Israel occupies the rest. Any airdrop will result in chaos and injuries and even deaths, which had happened before and happened earlier today as well.

3- it is the insistence on humiliating the people of gaza who are already starved and massacred every day. In no world is pushing thousands of people to line up for food after midnight or have them chaise airdrops meant to be dignifying. It's dehumanising to say the least.

4- the question that begs itself is: who will be able to get said aid? Can the maimed, injured, elderly, young children, doctors, etc... run after and carry these boxes of aid?

5- these airdrops are nothing but performative acts that Israel hopes will get it off the hook for manufacturing this famine or its policy of starvation that it had inflicted against Palestinians in gaza for years prior to 2023 even. As for the countries that are participating, it's their own vile performance through which they're hoping to be absolved from their complicity in aiding and prolonging this genocide.

1. Do you think a post pointing out an issue with fandom racism and misogyny is an appropriate place to bring up your favorite white male character? Why or why not?

2. Did this post call you racist for relating to a white male character? If you thought or think so, consider why you got defensive.

3. Think about the disproportionate amount of art and writing about white male characters in fandom spaces. Do you think this is, across all boards, due to them being written better or more relatably than the POC protagonist?

a. If so, consider why you notice the writing of white male characters more often. Are white male characters written "better" than the POC protagonist, or do you have an internalized fear of relating to non-white characters that you need to work through?

b. If not, consider what ingrained biases might lead to this phenomenon in fandom spaces.

c. If you read a. and thought that white male characters literally just are usually or always written better than the POC and/or female protagonist, accept you are wrong and consider some self reflection.

4. Have you researched how to write and draw characters that are non-white and/or non-male? If not, does this limitation lead you to gravitate towards characters you feel "qualified" to make content about, therefore inflating the issue?

5. If people are telling you to reconsider your point of view in my replies section, did you stop to consider what they said apart from your human instinct to be defensive? Have you considered that arguing against those trying to educate you about fandom racism and misogyny, which can be difficult to see in yourself, in the notes of a post talking about fandom racism and misogyny, might be short-sighted and counterproductive?

6. If you are inclined to defend your favorite white male character, pause. Are all of your other favorite characters also majority white? Are they majority male? Are they either of these and NOT the main character of the show, movie, or game they originate from?

a. If not, this comic is not for you. Please move on and give it a reblog if you're feeling generous.

Chainsawman: Yeah I guess if you go in thinking "this is a manga about a dude who wields a chainsaw" then you're going to be very seriously surprised. Like "ohhhh. he's a chainsaw man."

Portal: If I had to take points off this one its that the title is Portal in the singular, and lemme tell you brother. There's a lot more than one Portal in this game.

I aspired to study a master's degree in my specialty, so that I could build a better future, and get a stable job that would help me provide a decent life for my family. But the dream collided with a painful reality; I lost my beautiful home, which was our safety shelter, and my job that would have opened the door to life again was lost for me.

Half of my friends were martyred in this cruel war, the other half between wounded or detained. I feel that the dream is moving away, and that danger is approaching from every side, but despite the pain and loss, I hold on to hope.

Today I appeal to you, sincerely from the bottom of my heart, to stand with me. My family is in danger, and my young daughter deserves a safe life away from this nightmare. Any help you provide will be a hand that will lift us out of this reality, and a reason to save our lives. Thank you to everyone who hears my call and gives us a glimmer of hope in this darkness.

Despite Anas being vetted here by gaza-evacuation-funds and constantly documenting his struggle in Gaza through photographs and videos in multiple languages, including his interview with AJ+, he has messaged me telling me that tumblr has restricted activity on his previous blog @anas-kamal and he has been forced to create a new one at @dr-anas96.

This is already heinous under any circumstance but especially now with his condition. His campaign is severely stagnating and he is depending on it now more than ever.

Anas has been a ray of light for the children of Gaza, coming up with games and activities for them, but now he is unable to move around due to his illness. The doctors are trying to figure out why he is vomiting blood but as you well know, resources are very limited.

This is a video of Anas's parents baking bread with the scarce amount of flour they are able to obtain.

Anas is unable to focus on sharing his campaign as his internet connection is fleeting and he doesn't currently have the energy. I'm begging you to join me in spreading his campaign on his behalf.
