having fav writers and philosophers as a woman is like having your pet misogynists

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

My name is Issam Aziz, and I am 26 years old, living in the Netherlands. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a plea for help for my sick and elderly mother, Haifa Aziz, who is 59 years old and suffering from diabetes. Our lives have been turned upside down since the devastating events that began in Gaza.

We tragically lost my father on September 17th, before the October 7th escalation. He was a double amputee and struggled immensely. With our home destroyed in northern Gaza, my mother was left with no choice but to move to a refugee camp in Rafah. However, Rafah is no longer the safe haven it once was; we have witnessed the targeting of refugees in their tents.

My mother, Haifa, is enduring unimaginable hardships. With the collapse of the healthcare system in Gaza, she cannot access her necessary medications, exacerbating her already severe condition. The thought of her suffering without the essential care she needs is unbearable.

We urgently need to evacuate her to Egypt through the Rafah border crossing. However, this comes at a steep cost of $6,000, a sum that is beyond my means. I am reaching out to you, hoping for your compassion and generosity to help us raise the funds needed to save my mother’s life.

Please consider donating to our cause. Your support can provide my mother with the chance to escape the horrors of war and live her remaining years in safety and dignity. No one should have to endure such suffering, especially someone as vulnerable as my mother.

Your kindness and generosity can make a life-saving difference. Please, help us bring hope and relief to my beloved mother.

Thank you for your compassion and support.

Sincerely,

Issam Aziz

URGENT MUTUAL AID REQUEST‼️

hii i know i haven’t really been active lately but i really need help and i would appreciate any effort to spread this message.

i’m currently in my senior year of college and i am unable to register for classes due to a hold on my account because of my past due balance from the fall semester. i have recently lost my job and i’m in the process of getting a new one. i currently have no money for groceries or rent or anything.

i was relying on my mothers disability check to pay for the overdue balance, but she received a call the other day saying that she no longer qualifies.

the last day to register for classes is during add/drop is feb. 7 and i don’t know if my mother will have the money by then. i need $3000 to register for classes and complete my senior year of college. i’m so tired of struggling to pay for college and i really just want to be done. please help me finish out strong.

you can donate to my cash app or my venmo if you have anything to spare and if not i’d really appreciate a reblog so that someone who does may see it.

venmo: aresmorris1020

cashapp: aannaaiirb

i apologize i no longer use paypal because they have a habit of holding funds for suspicious activity when i crowdfund.

ADDITIONALLY if anyone would like to help me pay my rent or buy groceries until i find another job i’d appreciate that as well. i’m sorry to be asking for so much but i’m in a really tough spot and i could use the help as i don’t have any financial support besides my mother.

thank you. i’ll be tagging some mutuals for visibility i apologize for the inconvenience.

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

i wake up thirsty and i think of palestine. i go to the doctor’s office and i think of palestine. a sign in the corner of the waiting room says ‘this is a place of healing, disruptive behavior will not be tolerated’ and i think of palestine. they probably weren’t thinking of bombs and snipers and mass graves in parking lots. i call my parents and i think of palestine. i drive to the grocery store and i think of palestine. i look at the clear blue sky and i think of palestine. i put the dishes away and i think of palestine. i feed my cat and i think of palestine. i listen to music and i think of palestine. i read poetry and i think of palestine. i text my friends and i think of palestine. i think of palestine and i think of palestine and i think of palestine

in light of a four day ceasefire in Gaza being agreed upon, i am once again asking you all not to lose sight of the big picture. Biden and the Israeli Government are trying to frame this as a major democratic victory and as a favor respectively. they have no intention of a total ceasefire. they have no intention of stopping their genocide. remember - a ceasefire is the very first step. it’s not even the bare minimum.

the absolute bare minimum in this situation is 1) a complete ceasefire and immediate humanitarian aid in Gaza, 2) complete halt of all military foreign aid to the Israeli government, 3) the Israeli government being prosecuted for its war crimes in the International Criminal Court, and 4) land back and reparations for the Palestinian people. free Palestine means free Palestine, not just temporarily stop carpet bombing Palestine.

a temporary ceasefire is something, but it’s not even close to the end goal. we cannot let up pressure when things seem to be looking up. keep protesting, boycotting, spreading awareness, contacting politicians, etcetera. keep your eyes on Gaza. free Palestine.

"you don't know [insert popular tiktok trend]? you must live under a rock" Well i do. for your information i actually live in a thriving soil ecosystem complete with damp moss and various insects including pill bugs, beetles, and ants

“My story has so much gay rep in it!” Awesome. How are you treating your female characters btw

Don't Stop Talking About It. Don't Look Away. They're Still Here. They will be Free.

please unfollow me if you are an israel supporter. this is a pro palestine account. please do not try to argue with me about this. israel is committing mass genocide against the palestinian people. this is not coming from antisemitism because i am not anti-jewish people, i am simply anti israeli government and it’s mission to wipe out the palestinian people. if you are angered by this or feel like our beliefs do not align, then please unfollow me because you are not the type of person i want associated with me.

i also do not want to hear anyone saying that this has nothing to do with fanfiction and this isn’t something that we need to be talking about. it is so important to keep the people of gaza in your hearts and minds. human lives should be collateral damage as a heavily armed state forcefully occupies palestine.

this is not a war between israel and palestine, it is not even a war between israel and hamas. this is the mass genocide and ethnic cleansing of the palestinian people.

let the world never forget that it’s AMERICAN weapons being used to wipe out Gaza. that it’s AMERICAN tax money funding this genocide while the AMERICAN president and AMERICAN leaders support this mass murder of innocent people. let the world never forget America has Palestinian blood on its hands

it goes against so much of what i stand for to share "palestinians are humans, they have hobbies, they have pets, they laugh and cry" kind of posts because i've spent so much of my life and career completely rejecting the notion that we should humanize ourselves, that we should ever be defensive, that we should entertain this racism at all

but it breaks my heart when i have to share them from people in gaza, who are using their five minutes of internet connection, their 25% of battery charge collected from a macguyvered car battery, emotionally exhausted, thirsty and hungry, sleeping in schools that have turned into refugee shelters and still making the time to say "please, i am human too, i am still alive, please fight for me" in english to appeal to the only people who have the power to help

i shared a tweet from a jjk artist in gaza i follow about a bts photocard being found in the middle of the rubble. even the love of anime and kpop and sports is no longer just a hobby, but an appeal to humanity. what was once a source of joy is now proof of life.

the worst part is that you won't find this content in arabic. palestinians don't post like this in arabic. but when they translate themselves, they recognize that they must humanize themselves first. it's an unspoken understanding of dehumanization, one that has dictated a whole region's understanding of the value of human life. in arabic they speak with dignity, with anger, with sorrow. in english, they appeal for their existence.

i share these posts not just because we have to reach everyone we can, because im being asked to and i will not refuse. but i also share them because they're evidence of how deep the racism has run. at what dehumanization leads to. of war crime after war crime. this too i will not forget.

Massive fuck you to everyone who is talking about Palestinians as if we’re already all dead and sharing more solidarity with our corpses than us living. “We will never forget the beautiful Palestinian people-“ how about you stop “making peace” with Palestinian extermination. My people are not going to be forgotten because we are going to live. Palestinians have already survived one genocide and have been surviving one ever since.

Do not ever let the idea that all Palestinians are going to die exist in your mind. Mourn the dead, fight like hell for the living.

“Blood sweat and tears” such an excellent method of measuring investment. Yeah I worked really hard on this, hurt myself a lot, cried the whole time. stress nosebleed, sweated profusely, sobbed openly. Bleeding sweating crying etc. And everyone goes oh. Well done.

no more 2 minute songs. no more choreos dumbed down for tiktok challenges. more full length albums. no exploitation of minors. fair pay for idols. more time off schedules. no more insanely packed schedules. less unfair distribution of parts amongst groups.

He's everything. The rest are just Ken. HAPPY MINGI DAY! (990809)
