While you're here, my father is wracked with pain, his strength waning, and he's suffering terribly. I wanted to remind you, Yan, that your donation can provide much-needed help and support to my father, who sees death before his eyes every second. Please donate and help keep him alive. Please.

[alanqar-nader]

I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and ignores it, who hears about my father's situation and doesn't donate. Please help us and donate. Your donations are our only hope in life. My father, my family, and I are suffering greatly, and your donations are our only lifeline. Please donate.

[alanqar-nader]

Please help us. We are a family and we don't want to see any of our members die before our eyes. The situation here in Gaza is extremely difficult, the bombing never stops, and every day there are martyrs. I implore you to donate to us and give whatever you can. We urgently need 3000euros to reach our goal. Please contribute any amount and help us reach it.

[hotvampireadjacent]

Nader's family needs medical and psychological support due to the ongoing war in Gaza. The bombing continues, and there are daily casualties. Nader's father is battling cancer, and they desperately need money to cover his medical expenses and survive. If each of my followers donates by selling dollars, we can greatly help this family. Please donate now if you can.

[punkitt-is-here]

Please assist my dear friend Nader!

[alanqar-nader]

Please, friends, I beg you to donate now. We need 2200 euros to reach our goal. Please contribute and donate now and save us. Please donate.

[alanqar-nader]

Friends, we're almost there! This money is our only way to survive in these dire circumstances. I implore you to donate now. Please, please donate!

[alanqar-nader]

My dear friends, we only need 1700 euros to reach our goal. Please donate now and save us! Please donate now!

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

[melanqueerly]

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

[phinarei]

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

it's amazing that I got to see him on his first day of being alive. and now he's in my home, biting my foot!

[pangur-and-grim]

he was also fuzzy! here he is at 4 week old, fully furred:

then at 6 weeks, you can see his fur is thinning:

by 8 weeks, nudity had set in:

and by the time I brought him home, he was entirely a pink raw chicken:

after they lose the kitten coat, the adult coat starts growing in, but it can take up to 1.5 years! eventually, he will be as fluffy as his mom

[pangur-and-grim]

and then he stayed bald

Sometimes as a European you play an American game and even though you speak fluent English and culturally there's not too much different you can Tell you're missing some kind of cultural context

I had no fucking clue what a mormon was when I played the New Vegas DLCs

[demilypyro]

This post is not an invitation for you all to explain mormonism to me I am fine not knowing about this

[propalahramota]

I can't put this in tags like a normal person because apparently Tumblr no longer lets you do long tags which is dumb and I hate it but ok. Long time ago when I was but a wee 14 years old kid living in a sleepy town in Northern Ukraine, one day my bestie told me: hey, have you heard about this new English speaking club at the city library? They say it's run by two guys that came here on a mission all the way from America. And I was like: what mission? And she told me they were supposed to be Mormons. I didn't believe her. I was convinced she was fucking with me because at the time I didn't think that Mormons were real. I honestly thought they were fictional and only existed as a gag in South Park. And then a couple of days later those two missioners actually showed up to our English class to promote their little conversion club. Those poor men stood in front of a bunch of 14 years old and told us they were Mormon and several of my classmates said: wait, Mormon? Like in South Park?, and from their pained expressions you could clearly tell that it wasn't the first time they had been asked that here.

everyone i've talked to about this has been completely unaware so: if you didn't know already, there's going to be a solar eclipse, with totality or coverage of 90% or more in some places, over a lot of europe, on august 12th 2026. in the uk it will start just after 6pm, and the maximum will be at 7:13pm.

here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

get eclipse glasses if you want to look at it. it is not safe to look at through sunglasses. ok informative post over o7

[ex-libris-craux]

mostly missing me but i know a bunch of folks that are right in the path 🥰 enjoy it for me, my lovelies!

[burins]

thinking fondly of this meme I made for a coworker years and years ago

[burins]

this is going around again and the tags are full of people talking about printing it out to put in their breakroom or cubicle or sending it to their coworkers, which fills me with great joy. vast diversity of professions represented also. zoos. labs. summer camps. restaurants. garden centers. libraries. schools. many reports from the brave warriors of assorted retail. a truth universally acknowledged: if there is a sign a customer will not read it <3 and they don't read emails either <3
