Gazan fundraisers are not tumblr/ social media novelties that should wear off, just because you have come across the 5 or 75th post about them. These fundraisers are someone's life. The colonizers- the government of the imperial core- made it so; of course then, if something so unimaginably cruel is happening in the world, you are going to feel the recoil of it or the reverberation of it wherever you are. Because this is not normal. You understand that right? The Notre Dame catching fire caused more reaction amongst the government of the West; in Gaza tents with human beings are burning! Tents they had to go live in after their houses came down on them and trapped them under the rubble- there's still no genuine attempts from the world powers to stop this. They want you to think this is normal, so it is your duty that you don't normalize this. The gfms of families surviving genocide is not normal-> this sentence should be an abnormal sentence to you. It is because of this you should not turn away. In fact you should make more of an effort to go through them- to read, to donate. The engagement with fundraisers is going down! Don't let them become just another post on tumblr please- it is not even a year; Palestinians have been fighting this fight for 76 years!!

My posts have no value if they do not help Gazans in bringing in donations- this is not for rhetoric. And since this has gotten over 20 notes, it is more than enough for me to bring your attention to Siraj Abudayeh's ( @siraj2024 ) fundraiser. His weekly goal this time is to reach 40k- that is $8605 CAD away. With his fundraiser currently stagnating, we need your attention on him.

Vetting at 219 on Hussein's fundraiser.

Boost and Donate.

This post has gotten notes but donations have dropped off so badly since today morning. This pace is unacceptable, we need to reach his short term goal of 40k as soon as possible so that he can help his sons get some much needed medical treatment. I dont know what i can possibly say to keep your attention at this point, we are wuite literally running out of words.

Please donate. Ignore the number of notes this has, siraj is currently not even halfway to his full total goal of 82k. The number of notes do not reflect the number of donations he has gotten. This will NOT stop being an emergency till her has recieved the FULL amount.

stripping her of her medal because theyre too incompetent to enforce their own rules is disgusting and cruel

[frontpike]

her coaches were wrong for not inquiring in time, the officials were wrong for accepting a late inquiry, but the innocent athlete with no control over any of this is being punished!!!!!! what the fuck are you DOING

[vika-listunova]

Imagine society if they never raised Jordan’s score in the first place

[erikahenningsen]

Just devastating for both of these women whose triumphs are now tainted

Hazuki Watanabe (JPN) becomes youngest Japanese woman to win a world title at the 2022 Liverpool World Championships. The 18-year-old was originally selected as an alternate for the Japanese world team, but replaced Arisa Kasahara after she became injured this October. Watanabe qualified in 5th place going into finals, but ended up beating Canada’s veteran Ellie Black for top spot on the podium, as well as fellow teammate Shoko Miyata, also 18, who earned the bronze.

[elenazamos]

Sorry but Carey eakering and then getting the exact same medal she would have gotten anyway, but getting Rebe on the podium too is the FUNNIEST thing that's ever happened to this sport

[darthmelyanna]

First failed inquiry: $300

Second failed inquiry: $500

Getting Andrade onto the podium: priceless

Canada wins team bronze! So happy for Ellie Black!

[jillyyfish]

And are those “improvements in her artistry” in the room with us right now?

[meanderingorange]

Ok, but let’s mention the fact that Ellie Black put together a 55,166 all around score tonight.

This is probably one of her best all around performances of her career. (It beats her 2017 silver winning score - which given the code changes makes this a much stronger performance.) For some context - this score would have placed her third in AA qualifications.

Now, don’t get me wrong, if the rest of her team had not hit every one of their routines, her great performance would not have mattered. But they all hit. And then she improved her very decent qualification results by an entire mark right when it mattered.

Canada is the only team that improved on their score from qualification and Ellie Black led from the front.

The conversation around abortion shouldn’t be “are you absolutely sure you want an abortion” it should be “are you absolutely sure you want a child”. You can get pregnant again. You can adopt. But you can’t half-heartedly raise a child or change your mind midway through parenthood. Children are a huge responsibility and if someone isn’t 110% sure they are willing and able to do it, they shouldn’t. Having a baby shouldn’t be the default because of how extremely demanding and difficult parenthood is and the irreversible damage it does to a kid to be raised by someone who didn’t even fully want parenthood and wasn’t prepared for that level of responsibility.

#NOT HAVING A BABY SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT. HAVING A BABY SHOULD BE SOMETHING YOU ONLY DO IF YOU’RE SURE YOU WANT TO.

Her DTY is soo good

[jillyyfish]

honestly it’s sooooo Gymnastics(tm) that a bunch of gymnasts, from multiple teams, noticed that there was WATER ON THE BEAM and none of them said anything about it? Jordan literally said afterwards “well, there’s nothing you can do about it” which likeeee. Not to armchair psychoanalyze but it says so much about how gymnasts are trained to a. never “complain” and b. ignore literal threats to their own safety

[tutyayilmazz]

nothing has progressed since 2000. literally nothing

[freifraufischer]

So apparently slip-in-slide beam was a thing.
