Armand, a Muslim “coded” (to me confirmed Muslim but..) character, live-streaming a beheading and torture in a kosher butcher shop…. Was an extremely islamophobic choice.
Islamophobia has been used being used to justify genocide and US backed wars in the Middle East that has killed millions of innocent people.
I’ve talked about the anti-blackness in that scene but I also felt I had to speak up about this too.
My name is Tawi, and I’m reaching out for help for myself and my girlfriend. I know you’ve probably seen my fundraisers floating around before, and while I am still working doing art commissions, it’s hard for me to get hired anywhere in a wheelchair. Both my girlfriend and I are disabled and I myself am currently living in a food desert, where it’s nearly impossible to find affordable groceries, safe sidewalks, or reliable healthcare. The sidewalks in our area are so poorly maintained that my wheelchair motor is constantly at risk, it's the fifth time it's broken and everytime it breaks its a $500 repair, and the lack of accessible housing and medical care has made daily life a real struggle for me. Furthermore, the house that I’ve been staying in for the last year has five flights of stairs, including the first two to get into the building, and it’s been a nightmare getting in and out of the house with my wheelchair.
On top of all the expenses needed to move, I also have a sick kitty that I’m caring for, and the vet has recently located a tumor where her kidney is, and she’s continuing to pee blood even after her round of antibiotics, and she’s having an increasingly hard time keeping weight on.
Id like to move to a state where I can finally access better healthcare for me and my cat, find a place I can actually afford that’s not on the third floor, and live in a community where I can get around safely. The funds from this fundraiser will go directly toward moving expenses, car insurance, gas, securing a new place to live, and covering the gap in healthcare coverage during my transition. Some of you may recall when I was hatecrimed a year and some change back, where my belongings were trashed and my wheelchair and crutches were stolen, this money would also be going to help me find community in a more accepting area where I no longer have to live with strangers and be at risk for something like this happening again. Every bit of support will help us take this important step toward a safer, healthier, and more independent life.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story. Even if you’re not able to donate, just sharing our fundraiser means the world to us and brings us closer to our goal, and puts me in a more stable financial situation to complete the last year of my bachelor’s degree! Your kindness and support truly make a difference.

My name is Tawi, and I’m reaching out for help for myself and my girlfrien… Nana Tawi needs your support for Help Us Move to Accessible Hous

for those unaware today india experienced one of its biggest protests in half a decade. there were protests all over the nation for various causes but the major one was in delhi. all we asked for was the resignation of the education minister because he's failed the students of this nation time & time again. but we were met with brutality, the police had barricaded the main site of protest (jantar mantar). metro stations were shutdown, the public was restrained from reaching the protest site and all the adjoining areas had signal jammers to make sure the crowd had no access to constant updates. they had us blocked from all the sides. they were lathi (baton) charging students from one side & releasing tear gas from the other. you couldn't walk 100 m on streets without having a tear gas shell thrown at you. there were many students, women & kids bleeding — some from their head. some couldn't walk anymore. the police had removed their nameplates & acted with full impunity to resort to unprecedented levels of violence. they were pelting stones at us, beating up people for no reason, forcefully detaining them and attacking us constantly with tear gas & rubber bullets. they wouldn't let you exit either. the crowd was peaceful & looking out for each other yet they were met with violence. i made a friend who was all alone & she asked to join me & my friend because a policeman wouldn't leave her alone. he constantly prodded her for personal info, invited her back to the jeep saying they have food there, wouldn't stop following her around. you couldn't call or ask anyone for help, we were left to fend for ourselves & be on a constant lookout if you did not want to be beaten up to death by police. all for what? asking a resignation? shame on this country.
Youth-led movement calls on education minister to quit in one of India’s largest anti-government rallies in years
More than 10,000 protesters braved tear gas and baton charges in their largest challenge yet to PM Modi's government.
I don't want to talk about the 1000 days because I died a thousand times over during those days. They ripped my soul from me, took my sanity, and killed everything beautiful I saw. It's just a number the world talks about today and forgets tomorrow, even though tomorrow will be worse because it's 1001, meaning tomorrow there will be death, hunger, fear, poverty, and oppression. Nothing will change except that we keep getting worse and worse and worse. The whole world is showing sympathy today, but tomorrow they'll forget, even as our extermination and killing continue.
These are the types of words that will be in history books, the type of people your grandchildren will ask you what you did about.
So do something and if you have the means please please donate

Important video to share!
@creatingblackcharacters
So what's crazy is I don't have tiktok, but this video just happened (✌🏾✌🏾) to come across my FB and....yeah. everything she said is facts. I didn't know they mutilated Helen in the movie to punish her.... It may have been quite some time since my Odyssey run but em... I don't recall that happening!! 100% I believe part of her casting was to spark a Helen of Troy-esque racist media war. Antiblackness sells! Negative attention is attention!
With Rhaena, I'm on the fence. To me, it makes sense that she'd look that rough because she's in a situation where she doesn't know what to do and with no one to stand with her. Cutting off her locs to hide her white hair makes sense, especially because no one is maintaining all that on the run. But it does seem like she's being placed into harder circumstances than her combo of characters implies she should be, in a way her white counterparts just... Aren't. They've made Alicent far kinder, apparently!
And as for Louis, Claudia, and Armand? Yeah. The Islamophobia with Armand? Check. The antiblackness with Louis? Check. A white woman being the author of this last episode and how it is clear that she was having so much fun with the violence that she clearly did not consider (or maybe even just believes in) what this all looks like? Check!!! Like I said. It all passes far beyond a lack of intent, and pours all into blatant disregard and disrespect.
Great video!

Hey do you know what rumination is?
Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.
Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.
Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.
I'll say it again:
Rumination is a compulsion.
Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.
I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.
And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.
Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.
Like this was genuinely life changing for me.
Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

How to Stop Ruminating

The sign many left wingers have subconsciously accepted moving right on covid and embraced lowering public health standards is when people seem to think “masks should be mandatory in healthcare settings /airplanes “ is somehow a radical position to take in an ongoing pandemic
its so fucking weird because "masks in healthcare" should be the default all of the time. Doctors and nurses are literally employed to go from sick person to sick person, treating immunocompromised people especially often.
It should have been mandatory BEFORE covid
common advice for social anxiety is to tell yourself "people aren't going to think less of you just because you said something a bit daft" but the thing is. sometimes they will. and you just have to learn to be cool with that and to treat it as a dnd random encounter rather than letting it ruin your whole day
recent example. lady at my careers appointment had a post-it with her name on it stuck to the monitor, so i introduced myself by saying "hello, i'm eliot! you must be [name], it's nice to meet you!" and she stared at me as if i was the stupidest person alive and said icily, "yeah, i'm [name]. congratulations, you can read."
in bygone times this would have reduced me to a sort of quivering blancmange. thankfully i am now in a place where i was able to pull back, calmly evaluate this interaction, and say to myself "this woman should probably not be working in a customer-facing job"
important additions!!!!
hiii. doing a little sale!! sketch commissions are starting at $25usd(usually $40usd) so that i can buy cat food and keep some money in hand for helping my girlfriend move states in the next few weeks ! we are bith disabled and can use absolutely any help we can get 💚
