Seriously if you can’t financially help or go to protests wrt palestine the second best thing you can do is learn history and talking points by heart and be ready to bring it up with people you know. There’s never “nothing you can do”. There’s no shortage of books and documentaries made by Palestinians you can find for free on the internet you have no excuse to not educate yourself especially if you actually want to help

i found a palestinian film index online with free links to almost 400 films. there's also academic readings, interviews, and analysis of palestinian films at the bottom: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oJN9_AnDxd44QxwAxtwREfc3VRMcieqY_wQcxJErPsc/edit?usp=drivesdk

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.

A tribute piece of crossover fanart for Knights of the Light Table's work on what's now two of my favorite music videos of all time: Starlight Brigade and Neon Odyssey. I was so moved and inspired by their latest animation, and the pure artistry and passion that went into it, that I had to draw something to celebrate both with a shared theme of space. Thought it be cool to team up Strive and Pyke in one image. They're my big favs and I really wanted to do them justice while pushing myself on the background to hopefully capture that wonder and awe of space. :) Starlight Brigade Neon Odyssey

[sonicwind149]

It should be noted that a crossover between these two will actually be a reality if Neon Odyssey's Kickstarter hits $15 million, which will fund a Starlight Brigade extension adventure. No joke-- the Avantris crew just announced it in a livestream on Saturday.

So yeah, Heilos here unknowingly manifested it. Y'all know what to do next.

THIS IS REAL AND VERY TRUE LOOK:

YA'LL, IF YOU'VE EVER LOVED THIS MUSIC VIDEO AND THESE CHARACTERS WHILE WANTING MORE OF THEM IN SOME CAPACITY, THEN PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD AND/OR DONATE! They have to hit the 15 million goal by the final day minimum to get this mini campaign made with the Starlight Brigade cast included in the Neon Odyssey setting D&D books! It's not that far off either considering how much they've blown through previous stretch goals too!

KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN HERE

its probably a normal sign for the economy that all of my adulthood fantasies are like "imagine having your own kitchen living room and bathroom to decorate" "what if i could get on a train" "maybe one day i could purchase a sturdy pair of shoes" "i should save and invest in a single bicycle"
