Do not forget about Palestinians on this Eid, do not forget about Gaza, do not forget about the lives taken and homes destroyed, do not forget about the joy and life so cruelly snatched from them.

Eid means to us what Christmas means to most of you. And they're spending it digging through rubble and locating bodies to burry.

They have no chocolates, no new clothes to wear, no homes to decorate, they lost loved ones which would gather together, no Eidi to give to children to make them happy, no mehndi, no jewelery, no new toys.

Do not forget about Palestine.

Keep boycotting for them, keep protesting for them, keep donating to the families through the link tree, keep buying e-sims for them, keep sharing the truth, keep exposing Israel for their consistent humanitarian crimes.

Remember the Palestinians, especially today, on Eid, an occasion of joy.

May Allah make it joyous for them after everything they had suffered, may they be free from the Zionist occupation and genocide

Eid Mubarak, to everyone, and to the Palestinians

Notice how we have yet to hear of any Hamas deaths.

We've yet to see a body that has been identified as one of them.

Because you and I both know that would be all over the news... And yet, nothing.

19 days (as of today, 26.10.2023)

Over 6000 bombs dropped since 7th October.

7000 Palestinians killed by Israel.

And not one has been identified as a member of Hamas.

You expect to me believe a country with one of the funded military in the world.

Who has one of the most sophisticated surveillance systems in the world.

Simply can't find them?

We have yet to see one of them killed.

What we are seeing are the bodies of civilians, of men, women and children.

We are seeing doctors plead for fuel because premature babies in incubators desperately need it to stay alive.

Of elderly who refuse to leave their homes because they remember the last time they did and haven't been able to return.

We're seeing parents identifying their children and children identifying their parents.

If this was simply all about getting rid of Hamas, why are they not trapped under the rubble?

Why is it that the areas targeted are refugee camps, hospitals, schools, mosques, churches.

All places that are reported to be sheltering civilians.

We hear numbers of deaths, of how they've killed X many people (and a lot of lies about that.)

How this bomb needs to drop because that's who the IDF are fighting, it isn't about civilians.

But it's the civilians who are being killed.

Because it isn't about getting rid of Hamas.

It's about erasing the Palestinians off the earth.

They are targeting areas sheltering civilians.

They are targeting areas outside of Gaza like the West Bank.

Places where Hamas does not operate.

Because it isn't about them, it never was.

They poked a bear with a stick for 75 years and the second it bit back, it was the perfect excuse to kill it.

And market themselves as the victim to the rest of the world.

This is not a war.

It's an ethnic cleansing.

It's a genocide.

[ayouuni-deactivated20250907]

the fact that the report [ file available at the bottom of this page ] listing every person who has been killed in palestine since oct 7th is over 210 pages long is fucking insane. the first of the 88 names are from one family. after that, the following 72 are from one family. one family. i am asking you from the bottom of my heart, do not become desensitized to these numbers. 7,028 killed. 2,913 of them children. thousands missing under the rubble. do not ever let these numbers be anything but shocking and disturbing to you.

Israel has been committing unspeakable war crimes, crimes against humanity, and illegal collective punishment against Palestinians in Gaza for 15 years. 15 years. Any comment or analysis that doesn’t take this fact into consideration today is hollow, immoral, and dehumanizing.

I've grown to be exhausted of the MCU. like I have no interest in seeing anything that comes out anymore. It feels almost bloated now, after Endgame. A lot of it is bland and feels too much like military propaganda. Marvel girl had style to it i guess. But I generally don't care for it like I did when I was younger.

But the moment I saw that funky raccoon again I'm like FUCK!!! ROCKET!! MY BOY ROCKET!!! IT'S ROCKET RACOON!!! ugh cris pratt.... THIS ONE IS ABOUT ROCKET!!!!! I GOTTA GO SEE ROCKET RACOON!!! MY BESTIE ROCKET!!!

[beccarooni]

i genuinely don't think that there's ever going to be another franchise like guardians. i can't put my finger on what it is, but they're all filled with so much heart compared to the rest of the MCU. they've all been consistently good, and gotg 3 was maybe the best one yet - and imo the best marvel movie ive seen in a while.

im so grateful for the happy ending we got, and im so sad to see this franchise go. it really healed part of my MCU fatigue tbh, like especially in how the guardians got absolutely shafted in infinity war / endgame. they're so good, and im going to miss them so much.

[thewinterken]

I've been trying to digest GOTG vol. 3 for a hot minute now and I just need to get this out: FUCKING FINALLY, Marvel has been doing a hero narrative where everything is sacrifice, there can be no happy heroes and no (for the most part) battles that aren't for the greater good. Yes, go and defeat fucking everyone and everything that is stoping you from saving your friend, and yes try and kill as little people as possible cause not all of them are guilty.

This has been said a lot but the guardians are the only group that is actually a family and are everything the avengers couldn't be because they're weaknesses brought them together instead of apart, they chose to be a family even when they're not sure how it is to have one, but it works for them; even with all the screaming,but let's face it, that's all they've known.

All in all, is the most emotional movie Marvel has done (try and prove me wrong, you can't). Everyone is so transparent about they're feelings it makes the audience experience and actual connection, you want nothing but for them to get a damn hug and be happy; that scene where Nebula cries SO hard when she realizes Rocket is alive broke my heart in a million pieces (along with so many others) because they were so alone, when they lost everyone they had each other so they can't let the other go, when the group splits during the battle they go together bc they'll be damned if they're separated again.

I couldn't be happier they all get to be happy, that for once there are no deaths in sacrifice, they have lost so much that now is their time to win and enjoy what they built.

[wednesdaywarriorswc]

okay so GOTG Vol 3 is great all round but my new favourite canonical piece of MCU information is that rocket the raccoon, a literal genius who can build anything from anything and escape any prison he’s put in, who would get viscerally angry at people who called him a raccoon. didn’t get angry because he thought he was more than a simple animal he genuinely did not fucking know he was a goddamn raccoon.

[blue-cookie-for-percy]

Anyway it's been three years since the book came out and if you dont like the way its written that's no problem but it's always bothered me that people wrote off the book because of the "romance" and the fact that it's from Snow's perspective and "oh no he's hot" but if you read past the fucking tropes maybe you'd understand that we're not meant to like him. He's a despicable human being in a despicable society and he's written as such and I hope the movie does that justice.

[i-am-mldy]

i need these editors on tiktok making thirst edits of young Snow to always remember that that's the same mf who will torture Peeta our precious bread boy Mellark 65 years later thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

[nefarioushan]

I want the shadow and bone cast to react to season 2 edits please. No more thirst tweets, just show them those instagram/tik tok edits I'm obsessed with. I wanna see Freddy's face.

It's been a hot minute since I read the books but I really liked when Nina was talking about doing things for love and Zoya's serious response was 'for Ravka' it felt like a reflection of her character as established in the show and a subtle tease of her book future plus one of the conerstones of relationship with Nikolai. But the bit in ep8 when she blatantly checks him out and says 'I could fix him' felt so ooc for her and her perception of Nikolai (seeing his flaws but also respecting him otherwise she wouldn't bother with him - especially not after having just made such a stand against bad leaders. Zoya at this stage in her narrative would say 'throw the whole man out' before 'i can fix him') and an unearned referencing of their book relationship when they never interacted, thrown in in case the show doesn't get renewed.

Also generally kinda cringe and clunky of the writers to have her directly quoting a meme.

amita suman is just like me because i also am treating the soc spin off like my life depends on it

I’m crying so much over the Grover casting. Aryan Simhadri. Aryan Simhadri.

I have a nephew with that first name holy crap. We’re South Asian, Pakistani specifically. And it blows my mind that we see him as one of the leads for 5 seasons. Brown boys get to see such a kind, caring and empathetic person.

Someone who is loyal to the end, someone who would die for their friends, someone who cares so deeply about nature. Someone who is afraid yes, but constantly acknowledges that fear and still gets up and faces his fears for his friends.

Someone who becomes a leader, a figure as Pan’s successor, who convinces people to fight against Kronos, who guides every nature spirit in the modern world.

Someone who loves so deeply, and is loved in return, someone who takes care of his emotions. Someone who has such a beautiful arc, a central story and is a 3 dimensional character.

The actor may be around my age but little brown boys are gonna be looking up to him so much, my little brothers who’s 13 and 11, my nephews who are from the ages of 12-3. They will grow up with someone like them as a healthy role model and I’m so happy oh my god.
