I keep seeing people on Twitter being all "I'm sure they'll be more respectful and mindful of the Quileute tribe this time around."
Except, they won't be. Even if they get actual Native American actors to play these characters, even if they bring on a Native American to serve as a cultural advisor, it wont matter. Why? Because Smeyer appropriated a real Native American tribe and twisted their culture and history in her fantasy books for her own profit.
This fictional Quileute Tribe is and always will be disrespectful to the real life Quileute tribe.
The Quileute Tribe is still taking donations to move out of the immediate tsunami zone as of April 2023. Instead of directing attention to this TV series if/when comes out (and even if it doesn't honestly), please consider supporting the tribe financially here if you can afford it.
"bathrooms at Walmart" y'all go on about bathrooms but what about like.....violent sex offenders in female prisons. or psych wards. like you really think there shouldn't be a line, anywhere?
They have to ignore the statistics demonstrating how trans women are the highest risk group in society for sexual violence because their entire argument hinges on the delusion that it isn't the case
Please donate if you can. Your donation will enable me to buy medicine for my sister , and it will save her, save me, and save my whole family. Our lives are at stake from hunger, disease, and anemia, and it will end the constant pain. || Chuffed

A New Israeli Policy Cuts Off Humanitarian Aid In Gaza
After Israel began expunging humanitarian organizations in Gaza for failing to comply with new rules, a Doctors Without Borders team was left scrambling to establish a permanent clinic.

When Amal surprised me by telling me she named her newborn after me, I felt like part of my heart had gone to Gaza and remained there ever since.
This part of my heart is now breaking. Amal, who's been on a poor diet because she can't afford better food, is unable to breastfeed baby Mina any longer, and is unable to afford enough formula to compensate, and now both mother and baby are weak and malnourished.
Amal is suffocating from the stress of having to provide for her daughters. Her husband Motasem is doing everything he can (recently, he was almost caught in a bombing while trying to get food) but they're both overwhelmed. I wish there was anything I can do for them.
I'm begging you to donate if you can and share if you can't. I want, more than anything in this world, for these kids to grow up healthy and for their parents to be able to rest.
Anyone who sees this, Help Share this with more people to help save Maryam and her older sister. Donations would be greatly helpful for them. Stay strong Maryam❤️❤️❤️
I am sick, and this pain isn’t passing… it’s growing inside me day by day. My health is slipping away while I stand helpless in front of myself. Every breath feels heavy, like it could be my last. With each day, I feel closer to losing myself completely. I’m not telling a story or exaggerating—this is my reality. A person fading in silence, trying to hold on to any hope before disappearing.
My name is Omama and I am creating this page on behalf of my friend Hazem who lives in Gaza, Palestine.
My account has been restricted from messaging, and this is my only source of income. This situation is seriously affecting my life. I truly need your support—whether by sharing my story or helping me reach someone who can fix this. Please don’t ignore me.
Currently at $1,231 USD! The last donation was made 3 days ago! Hazem has to create a new fundraiser since the organizer for the original one is unable to continue it! So please donate and share. You can give as little as a dollar and in your own currency, such as AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, or USD!
Verification: Previous fundraiser has been shared and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein!

These may be my last words or the last time I write a post, so I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word and ignores me.
I write these words in great pain, my eyes brimming with tears. I can no longer bear this situation. I am exhausted by hunger, severe anemia, my father's cancer, and the exorbitant cost of the medications he needs.
All I care about is getting rid of the cancer my father is suffering from and the constant pain. Please help me buy his medication so his body can recover and he can resume his life, and to save me, my entire family, and my young niece who is suffering from malnutrition and anemia.
Please donate if you can. Your donation will enable me to buy medicine for my father, and it will save him, save me, and save my whole family. Our lives are at stake from hunger, disease, and anemia, and it will end the constant pain. Gofundme

Help Tawfiq and His Children Escape the Trauma of War
My name is Tawfiq Al-Tatri. I am 40 years old, a father of five, and a survivor—but survival here in Gaza is not truly living. My children and I have lost everything. Our home, our safety, our community—gone.
We now live in a refugee camp, crammed inside a fragile tent, shivering through the freezing nights, unsure where we will be tomorrow. We have been displaced over and over again, fleeing destruction, heartbreak, and loss. My home was bombed with my family inside. By some miracle, we survived—but so many of our neighbors and relatives did not.
As a father, my only mission now is to protect my children, to give them a future beyond war and suffering. I dream of getting them to safety, away from the fear that haunts their every step. But I cannot do it alone.
That is why I am reaching out, with hope in my heart, asking for your kindness. Your support can help us cover the costs of leaving Gaza for Egypt—giving my children a chance at life, at healing, at simply being children again.
Please, if you can, stand with us. Help me save my children from the trauma of war. Every donation, every share, every prayer brings us closer to safety
Thank you from the depths of my heart.
Hello, I am Tawfiq Al-Tatri, I am 40 years old, from Gaza, and I have 5 children. Now I li… Tawfiq Al Tatri needs your support for Help me t
This fundraiser has been verified by us TWICE if not three times completely independently form each other. But it has only raised a low amount of funds. Let's help Tawfik and his family.
Wonderful news! My dear friend Fadel (@fadel-dani) was able to present his graduation project at his university and received his Bachelor's degree in Information Technology! Anyone who would like to congratulate and bless Fadel can do so by donating so that he can get medical treatment and study for his master's and doctorate in a safer place.
Fadel's project was about creating an integrated system for managing the water desalination plant in Gaza electronically. This is an incredibly important project, because Israel has systematically destroyed Gaza's water treatment infrastructure, blocked repairs in countless ways, and targeted workers. It is extremely brave to be working on this project. Please donate so that Fadel can one day lend his skill to rebuilding Gaza. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
While Fadel shared this happy news with friends, he was interrupted by Israeli helicopters bombing nearby. There were four strikes on Gaza City last night and at least ten people were martyred. As we text today, @fadel-dani is still in the hospital receiving treatment. To maintain hope in the future, he must survive the present. Please donate so he can afford his hospital bills and medication costs.
Thank you so much to everyone who congratulated me and shared in my joy. I hope to be able to travel soon and have my surgery as soon as possible to be free from my pain, and to be able to complete my master's degree. So, my friends, you are our last hope. Please help me and be by our side before it's too late. Please donate and stand by me.
Since Israel and the US have started bombing Iran, Israel has bombed Gaza almost every single day. Conditions in the strip grow even rockier than they were before. Food scarcity is a huge problem and the medical needs of the people are not being met. People are dying.
I am a father and a husband trying to keep my family alive in a place where survival has become a daily battle. I lost my leg, and even the simplest movement is painful for me. Yet I still try every day to find food for my wife and my child. Sometimes the only food we have comes from charity kitchens.
My child cries from hunger. My family sleeps in fear every night as the bombing continues. We are not asking for luxury, we are asking for the chance to live with dignity. My campaign and my story are real, and my only hope is that someone will hear our voice before it is too late.

In the heart of Gaza, a family of four clings to survival in the shadow of… Rania A needs your support for Gaza Family Left With Nothing Hel
My heart is breaking. We still need $920 to buy the medications that keep my mother and father alive. They are elderly, sick, and depend on these medicines every day. I try to stay strong in front of them, but inside I am terrified. I cannot bear the thought of watching their health decline simply because we cannot afford the treatment they need.💔
I keep staring at the remaining amount and wondering how I can save them. Yet if only 37 people donated $25 each, we could reach our goal. For many, $25 may be a small expense, but for my parents it could mean receiving the medicine that helps them continue their fight against illness.
Please, I am begging you, do not scroll past our plea. Imagine your mother or father needing medication and you being unable to provide it. Imagine watching them grow weaker while feeling completely helpless. That is the reality I am living every day.😔
Every donation, no matter how small, brings hope to my family. Please help us protect my parents and give them a chance to continue their treatment. We are desperately holding on, praying that compassionate people will hear our cry and stand beside us in this difficult moment.🙏💔😔
