An ornate mastigure (Uromastyx ornata) in Palestine

I don't mean anything ill to you, but you seem like a passionate and smart person and I'm worried you are being taken advantage of.

okay i understand you think you're coming from a good place, but not only have i been talking to noor for over a year, but the @/gazavetters blog has her listed on their verification spreadsheet, and they continuously check in with fundraising families and, yes, mark them spam or scams depending on their interactions with said families. she is listed as legitimate

that said, it doesn't matter what she does, people are always going to lean into the "palestinian fundraisers are scams!" belief regardless of how much she and other palestinians show us their entire lives to try and prove they're human beings who are worth saving. like gazavetters is an entire blog run by other palestinians dedicated to verifying that these are real people, in fact it's literally listed in noor's bio! but rather than actually take a second to look through it you'd rather believe it's a scam

I can't ask you to like it, or not be annoyed by it, or to even tolerate it, even if I want to beg people not to be put off by it. I've given up on that. If you want to block and avoid any kind of engagement, that's your prerogative, and I can't ask you not to.

But to **REPORT** her like you said you did warrants much more than being annoyed. You need something more substantial than the fact that you don't like it. Please stop doing things like this on a whim because you're hurting real people who already have the whole world against them.

If you can't bring yourself to tolerate her behavior under the incredibly cruel circumstances she's under, then please at least conceptualize it as "this is a real person in real need behaving in a way that I dislike" instead of "this person is behaving in a way I dislike therefore they are not in real need" because that's just unreasonable.

@closet-keys thank you so much for reminding me of my favorite videos on this topic. good context that is mentioned in this clip is also that demi is a short man (5’4”-5”), dark skinned and has locs so i bet he gets this A LOT.

i especially appreciate his insight on how it makes him feels desexualizing and like a fucking puppy because two things are happening here.

the desexualization speaks to the default image of black men in the social consciousness. they are “bucks,” “studs, “mandigoes,” and so on and so forth. the juxtaposition confirms the expectation of what a black man is and isn’t. black men are Meant to be sexual objects defined by aggression and desire so it’s surprising when they aren’t !
