back when i lived in the caribbean, she was down in St Thomas so often that the locals all recognized the yacht. for those not in the know, epstein's private island is a few miles off the coast of StT. the primary way to get to the island was to take a private ferry from one of the nearby ports.
interesting to put two and two together like this finally.
It's also quite funny that she apparently hasn't tweeted at all since openly denying that neither she nor her team ever invited Epstein to anything despite there being material evidence straightforwardly proving that she did. lol.
Also, âto colonizeâ literally means âto establish a colony,â which the Fire Nation canonically never did in the SWT, and we should maybe all learn what words mean.
(The FN did, however carry out a genocide of all their adult benders but were clearly never interested in maintaining a political presence there in the longterm.)
Why canât Zutara and Kataang shippers just live in peace side by side?? Obviously if youâre a kataang shipper you donât have to love zutara and vice versa but you should not be attacking the shippers!!
Theyâre always making up lies about their ships in order to justify them as well, this is seen mostly with zutara. They always claim the writers originally intended for zutara to happen, yet never provide any sort of proof. And they also claim Katara only saw Aang as a brother, which is not true. Katara is a naturally motherly character.
And theyâre always bringing up how much superior their ship is on videos that have nothing to do with their ship!! (Just to clarify Iâm talking about both zutara and kataang shippers) I literally canât even enjoy an edit without someone screaming in my ear about how much better their ship is.
Chibi shorts where Zuko and Katara are shown having romantic feelings for each other (especially Zuko)
Zutara getting acknowledged in the script
The creators wrote the last two episodes and they decided for some reason that the last sentence in the script will be "Kataang wins!" like there was some competition or something
Some writers talking about Zutara in this video where they said that there were fights about it in the writing room and that Kataang wasn't a foregone conclusion
https://youtu.be/dJsxfOnT9Y8?si=NpzXiojWthyRf5J7
About Katara seeing Aang as a little brother...that's on the creators, not the Zutara fans because, out of all the tropes out there, this clowns decided to associate their favorite ship with the babysitter trope
The motherly/babysitter vibes are there. It's in the text/show because that's how they wanted their dynamic to be written. The younger, more immature boy is infatuated from the beginning with the older, more mature girl while she sees him more as a little kid/brother and he needs to prove that he can be taken seriously as a love interest. We didn't come up with this. The men that worked on the show did.
And yes. Katara and Aang kiss and all of that throughout the story, but for some of us it's just looks forced or it's uncomfortable to watch.
Is this enough proof now? Are we allowed to say that Zutara should have been canon and that Katara and Aang are like a babysitter and her little brother who smooch from time to time?
The creators have said that Katara behaves motherly towards Aang.
They also said Katara was âconfusedâ because she struggled to see Aang as a love interest due to their difference in maturity.
In the Legacy book, Katara confirms that she fell in love with Aang because she got to watch him grow from a boy into a man.
This lines up with that weird speech Katara gave Aang about being proud of him for growing up. While her words sound more maternal or sisterly, the creators intended it to signal that she could now potentially see Aang as a romantic prospect because he had matured.
Katara can only make up her mind after Aang saves the world, effectively turning her into a prize for his heroism and persistence. The creators wanted to mislead the audience into thinking the balcony scene would be a platonic one, only for them to be presented with the two sharing a âdeep kissâ. Despite the animation directorâs protests that the kiss was inappropriate, Bryke insisted that the series had to conclude with a scene of a 12-year-old boy making out passionately. They are so creepy and disgusting.
And at the end of the second season, those two idiots chose quite literally one of The Most Recognizedâąïž images in the history of Western art, and itâs Jesus Christ being held BY HIS MOTHER THE VIRGIN MARY.
anyway if you feel bad about the palestinians undergoing a genocide who will inevitably get blamed for being in a situation that "cost kamala the election" as if theyâre the ones wielding power over her and not vice versa, consider donating to my gazan friend, who is vetted as #4 here. donations of âŹ10 or more are eligible for a commission, DM me.
A Fatherâs Cry for Help: Save My Daughterâs Future
My name is Ahmed, a teacher from Gaza. I lost my son, Tamim
And now my daughter Najah, just one year and three months old, is trapped with her mother in northern Gaza, suffering from hunger, fear, and homelessnessđ We are separated by war, and I havenât seen her take her first steps or hear her laugh. Every day without her breaks my heart đ
Tamim above and Najah below đđ»
Iâm in southern Gaza, caring for my sick father, my injured brother, and my younger siblings.
I need help to send my daughter food, diapers, and basic necessitiesâbut most of all, I need to get her out of Gaza. I dream of giving her a life free from war, where she can grow up in peace and safety.đ
Please help me give my daughter the future every child deserves. Every moment counts.
đŽ This is the brother I told you about in my story.
On the morning of October 13th, we woke up to a devastating explosion that shook our neighborhood. As we searched through the rubble for survivors, we heard the faint voice of my younger brother calling from beneath the debris of a nearby house. He was pulled out with partial memory loss and a skull fracture, and every day since, he has endured his pain in silence. The doctors have stressed the urgent need for surgery to remove the shrapnel lodged in his head, but this operation can only be performed abroad.
We humbly ask for your donations to help save my brotherâs life and give him the chance to heal. Your generosity can make all the difference.đđ”đžđ

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.
obviously she fucked up on that front and on multiple other fronts (an understatement) but if these results have showed anything it's that the alt right white majority will never vote for a black woman even if she were perfect. but liberals will blame arabs for the faults of white nationalism and misogyny. at this point if you're blaming the pro-palestine movement and saying shit like "are you happy now? is this what you wanted?" you're just brimming with anti-arab hatred that you're desperate to release at any given opportunity
so what now? the genocide is still ongoing and the rise of fascism is unimpeded but now people will point to those most affected by it and saying "this is what you wanted, right?" and you and i could spend the next four years arguing and yelling at those people or we can do something that matters.
mahmoud needs to pay his fees in 5 days or he will fail this semester.
amal needs to meet the soaring prices of baby food in gaza for the sake of her daughter maryam.
look out for the vulnerable and watch out for the way people are venting their frustration at fascism by blaming its victims.
please reblog this version. anger without action is nothing. if you feel like this is the end of the world remember that this is just another day of the genocide for those in gaza.
please reblog the fundraisers you see on your dash. please. if you claim to care about palestine, NOW is the time to prove it. everyone said gaza will be worse off if trump wins - well, now he has. the least anyone can do now is reblog and share and DONATE to as many fundraisers as possible. especially if you're american. you want harm reduction? this is harm reduction. help gazan families.
you can't decide where to start?

It is a shame to see where personal interests have more importance than many lives who are surviving an accelerated genocide. So many people overlook the horror and violence. The illness and injuries. The cries,and screams. It makes them feel guilty and uncomfortable. So they donate to AO3 and read their fanfic or buy the latest game for a franchise. But you should feel guilty. You should feel uncomfortable!
So please stop thinking about yourself for 1 day. Show your support to Mohammed Al-Habil (@alhabil). He is a 30 year old entrepreneur and he is raising 3 young children, Ahmed (8), Osama (6), and Mira (4) with his kind wife, Aya. He is also looking after his elderly parents who are chronically ill with diabetes and high blood pressure.
Let's help him achieve the short-term goal of 36K! The funds raised will help him purchase a tent since the one before has been flooded due to the heavy rain. He also need to purchase medication for his parents as well as for his kids since they are in contact with scabies to this day!

Why is no one talking to me? No one checks on my family anymore. Are we no longer important, the six of us?! When will I find someone to care about us? Will it be when we are bombed or dead?
The people here helped me, and the Tumblr community is wonderful. I love you all.
But no one wants to check on my family anymore. I have four children who live every day in fear, with bombings and death, in a place without sanitation, filled with epidemics and diseases. Even food is now just canned goods. Is a child supposed to live their life here without any sweets or treats?
Are we dead?! Is that why no one answers or asks about us? Or has the world's conscience died, so they donât think about us or inquire about us?
I created a post telling our story in black and white because my family and I are starting to lose hope. Perhaps someone will look at the pictures and read the story, realizing that this family is on the brink of becoming a memory.
My children, my wife, and I read your comments and your words, and the messages you send. Why have you stopped? No one is standing with us. You know, even internet and electricity here are hard to come by, and we walk a long way to reach a place just to tell you that we are still alive here in Gaza.
We hoped someone would fight with us, try to raise our voice to the world, send our campaign to friends, or even try to adopt our cause and reach out to people, asking them to write and share our story.
If Iâm the only one here in Gaza trying to raise my family's voice and save them, I wonât succeed alone.
I'm writing this because I can't do it alone, and I hope you will support me and stand with me.
Just read this with your hearts. My family and I need your support with your own selves, minds, and consciences, not just donations, above all else.
I will attach a picture of my family here, hoping it will make someone look with their heart, talk to us, and say, âI will try to help you.â
This is the link to my campaign»»»
I hope to find someone who cares about whether my family and I are still alive.
"It is not in the nature of noble souls to pass by in silence while others suffer. Some calls for help may not be clear, but they arise from genuine need, and recognizing them is a testament to our humanity."
No news that you haven't seen already coming from the Gaza Strip. IOF committed another 6 massacres just today, prices are still going up, the aid is still (almost) not getting through the occupation blockage. The Zionist forces including US administration still continue to obscure the genocide with empty promises of peace at best and with promises of total annihilation of Gaza at worst.
Falastin's family were displaced more than 50 times just in the last year. They are still in Al-Mawasi for now, they still live in a tent that will not shelter them from winter cold, they still need funds to just survive. You can see what they are forced to live with in this post [here]. They survived previous winter, but since then they some possessions with each displacement and are now not sure if they can survive this one. Please prove them wrong; please help them to see the next spring.
Her 24 family members need money for:
food and water
medicine for infections and for Falastin's 73 y.o. mother
diapers and other baby products
tent materials and clothes for the winter
and of course for evacuation.
They do not ask for any luxury. They will not be able to afford anything else, but with the current rates of donations they are not sure if they can get even this. Again, please prove them wrong and boost this and donate if you can. There are both Gofundme and Paypal, additionally there is a raffle for hand-made Palestinian thobs [here] if you donate more than 50$ and I am drawing commissions for more than 10$ donated.
Gofundme is in SEK and the rates are:

Ahmad and his family, Saja and their son Maher, are facing a tough time due to the severe lack of food. Since the war started, they've been struggling with food shortages, and it's seriously affected their health.
Ahmad works hard every day to find food, but it's not enough. The prices have skyrocketed, and sometimes there's just nothing to buy. This has led to all of them, especially little Maher, losing weight. The lack of proper nutrition is really taking a toll on their bodies. Maher used to be full of energy, but now he looks weak and tired most of the time.
Saja, as a mother, is worried sick. She tries to make sure that Maher gets whatever food they can find, even if it means she and Ahmad eat less. But even that isnât enough to stop the signs of malnutritionâpale skin, thinning hair, and fatigue are all becoming more noticeable.
The situation is really tough, and with the ongoing war, thereâs no clear solution in sight. They hope that one day soon, peace will return, and they can get back to living a normal, healthy life.
Please support and help me fight malnutrition with my family by sharing the link to my GoFundMe campaign.
