I’ve been getting a lot of asks and tags about how to support Palestine and Palestinians during this so here’s ways allies can support us (other Palestinians are welcome to add on): 

Spread Awareness: 

Taking a moment out of your day to spread awareness of the oppression Palestinians face is crucial to supporting our cause. You don’t need to be an expert on Israeli settler colonialism to speak out. Israel relies on media ignorance to enact most of it’s bombings and settler violence against Palestinians, silence equals Israeli violence - reblogging, retweeting and posting in Palestine hashtags (#freePalestine, #savesilwan, #savenaqab, #savesheikhjarrah etc) helps, please do not underestimate how much just interacting with our posts and sharing information helps us. 

Support BDS: 

BDS is a Palestinian-led movement to apply global pressure to Israel to comply with international law, part of the reason Israel maintains a regime of settler colonialism, apartheid, and military occupation over Palestinians is because of international support - so BDS calls for non violent boycotts, divestment, and sanctions on corporations and brands that are complicit with Israel’s oppression - this includes brands such as AXA, HP, Puma, Sodastream, Ahava cosmetics, Sabra, and Pillsbury. If you want to know more about BDS and other ways to support please check out their website here: x

Donate (if you can): 

Al-Shabaka 

Electronic Intifada 

Adalah Justice Project

IMEU 

Medical Aid for Palestinians 

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Decolonize Palestine: 

Decolonize Palestine is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to know more about Palestine, Palestinians, myths and deconstructing over 70 years of Israeli propaganda. It goes into detail of Israeli propaganda methods including pinkwashing, bluewashing, greenwashing etc and includes reading sources and frequently asked questions about Palestine from Palestinian voices, please check it out if you haven’t: x

Donate to direct action and gaza municipality and watch your money go to the best cause - if we can be anything we should be efficient. The most effective money you can give is to direct action, to group movements to protect our insurgents from adventurism, to Gazan medical tent for emergency medical relief, to providing water and food for Gaza through grassroots campaigns such as the PFLP's and mutual aid projects, and to Gaza municipality for their infrastructure. These crucial resources for maintaining life remain underfunded. Support BDS however you can against Carrefour, HP, Puma and Siemens. Share the following toolkit with your union and movement:

This one's for VELVET GOLDMINE superfans. Disney is unlikely to ever make merch for this movie, so I decided to use my powers for ... well, not good, exactly. But sometimes chaos is good enough, especially when sticking it to one of America's corporate overlords.

I have 10 sets of this bundle available to my Patreon subscribers.

You can read more HERE.

Lebanon is currently being bombed with thousands displaced and hundreds martyred. The Israeli strikes are intensifying and nearly one million people are displaced as of 3/12/2026.

Below are a few sources accepting donations to provide food, aide, and more to those affected. If you have any means to donate please do so. The Lebanese Red Cross - provides life saving medical services across the country

Lebanese Food Bank - distributing food and essential supplies to those who are directly affected and displaced

Egna Legna Besidet - a women migrant domestic worker run humanitarian and advocacy organization providing humanitarian assistance and emergency aide for migrant domestic workers

If anyone has any other places to donate, please share.

Just read a letterboxd review that called Arthur "queercoded" as if he isn't queeractuallyed and queernarratived and queersexhavered in the literal script of the film like there's no subtext or subliminal coding implying anything else y'all he has sex with a man onscreen and jumps for joy at feeling seen as a young bisexual and that should be more than enough to move him from being queercoded to just being queer. Like not to be pedantic but the two terms are not interchangeable/synonyms and cannot be treated as if they are

[gayalienwilde]

What if we had queercoded sex and we were both boys 😳😳🙈

Velvet Goldmine does a fantastic job of being a universally queer film in the little moments such as (but not limited to) "making your same gender Barbie dolls kiss" and "using your own blood as lipstick" and "watching a TV show with your parents and trying desperately to not convey any emotion or joy when someone on there shares your identity" and "jacking off to a rock star"
