Please, I’m asking you to hear me.

In Gaza, everything is falling apart around us. Life here is becoming harder every single day, and even the simplest things feel impossible to find.

In the middle of all this, my father is getting worse. He is in the hospital, and every day we struggle to provide his treatment and medication.

It’s not just fear anymore, it’s the feeling that we are losing him while we stand helpless.

Please, if you can, help us. Donate or share, anything can make a difference.

📌📌📌 Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi), But we created a new GoFundMe page because GoFundMe suspended the beneficiary’s account.

[naderalanqar2007]

If my father passes away, please remember that I begged you for a small donation or to share his post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support it with a single word or a small donation, and simply ignores it.

[naderalanqar2007]

I write this letter trembling with fear for my father. He has been suffering excruciating pain from cancer, and I cannot afford all the medications he needs due to their high cost. All I wish is for him to stop suffering every day, so I implore you to stand by him and help him purchase his medications as soon as possible.

Please donate.

[naderalanqar2007]

Worse still, his health has deteriorated sharply, and he has great difficulty moving. The pain and weakness have rendered him unable to lead a normal life. He urgently needs medical attention and ongoing treatment to improve his condition, but the cost of treatment is prohibitively expensive for us. Currently, he cannot sleep comfortably due to the constant pain, and he cannot afford the medications and painkillers that might alleviate his suffering because of their high prices.

[naderalanqar2007]

He needs your help to alleviate his pain and save him as quickly as possible. Please, he doesn't want to die. Help us raise the necessary funds for his treatment and surgery as soon as possible Stand by him. Please donate.

Please help Nader!!

If you are a white person in a racialized person’s life, especially as a partner or close friend, you should go out of your way to ask regularly “hey is there anything you have been holding on to that I did?” and critically both fix it and NOT DO ANYTHING TO PUNISH THEM FOR TELLING YOU.

As a white person raised in a white supremacist society, you’re gonna fuck up sometimes. That’s just a fact. But racialized people often aren’t able/comfortable speaking up when y’all do some shit because of the power imbalance/not feeling up to educating when you may be resistant/don’t think the “fight” will be Worth It.

Show initiative without making it A Struggle or playing the white guilt card. Show you actually care about them, their struggles, and the way you interact with them BEFORE they have to have a bigger Conversation with you, beyond when they need to yell about someone else being racist.

And for fucks sake if they’re making/showing you something from their culture fucking act like you realize the importance of that, that they’re showing you shows they grew up with or making you food they made with their families, that they’re letting you in and trusting you more than other whites in their life.

[mintendo96]

This would honestly be life changing for me. The idea came up because I feel so incapable of telling the people in my life when they do racist shit. And like furthermore, actually respond beyond just an I'm sorry. Like for the love of god actually internalize the shit the Black and Brown folks say to you.

[mintendo96]

I'm seeing a lot of tags from white people saying something along the lines of please tell me if I fuck up and like that really goes against the point of the post. Racialized people have to swallow so much racism on a daily basis and it's impossible to tell who is safe to confront.

Even close friends or partners are not necessarily safe. I have had partners dismiss accusations of racism just off hand, I have had partners treat me like a repository for knowledge on Muslim cultural practices despite the fact that *my family has been Christian since Jesus,* hell I have had a partner say I was overplaying my pain at the genocide to get sympathy.

Racialized people are constantly waiting for the other shoe to job. Constantly waiting for their "antiracist" white friend to decide they have learned all they need to. We need you to ask. We need you to care enough to be proactive literally at all. Stop asking us to trust you without doing any fucking work to prove you are trustworthy.

[storyweavingspider]

To emphasize

IF YOU ARE WHITE YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP OR YOU ARE JUST PUTTING MORE LABOR AND DANGER ON YOUR RACIALIZED FRIENDS FOR YOUR FUCKING COMFORT

Fucking reblog this each time you see it so that it gets drilled into other whites heads

[subversivecynic]

This goes for stuff that isn't race too. If you are the privileged person in some aspect this is a thing you should be thinking about regularly.

I had a conversation about cis dude privilege with my little brother a couple weeks ago and he's second generation American from Nigeria - told him he's gotta be honest and ask and accept the answer multiple times if he wants to make it up to a person who he considers a friend but who he has been misgendering and who lost their temper about it.

He says they're talking to him again, so I think it might have worked.

Still early concept, but I've preemptively come up with a glamour for Bastion when Evercold comes out.

Day Three: Companion

While exploring the mountains of Yanxia, Jay found a small lesser panda that started to follow her around wherever she went. Seeing that no attempt to scare the thing off was working, she decided to take the creature in, choosing to name him Tomoe.

Au Ra August 2026:

Day One: Arrival A

After a lengthy trek from her home in Camp Drybone, Jay had finally made it to the big city: Ul'Dah. With her father's sword at her side, his shield on her back and only a few gil to her name, she wasted no time in looking for the location of the famed Gladiator's Guild.

Day One: Arrival B

There were a lot of emotions running through Jay as she crossed the massive archway that separated her ancestral homeland from where the Confederacy had set up their stronghold. She thought back to her childhood. When he was still alive, her father wasn't entirely forthcoming when it came to any stories from Doma. He mentioned he was from there, but any questions regarding anything specific were usually brushed off or avoided entirely. Thus, Jay had no idea what to expect.

TERFs keep arriving on that post to be like “actually! we don’t believe in bioessentialism!” yes you do. You believe sex and gender are synonymous and there is one sex that is the oppressor and one sex that is the oppressed. You believe this is intrinsic. No nuance, no understanding, no space for non-Eurocentric concepts of gender, no space for the concept of variance in gender identity. You acknowledge that gender is a performance and that what one considers to be an expression of their gender is informed by the society they live in but you refuse to acknowledge that gender can be at odds with a person’s sex and the societal expectations placed on them by that. You bitch and moan about the tiny little box women are kept in and then you do advanced phrenology to try to prove a woman is a ‘actually a man’ and punish her if she does not look, sound or behave the way you expect women to behave. You insist trans women have ‘male privilege’ while you visit the exact same misogyny on them that cis women experience, same tools, same shame-based punishment. Shut the fuck up. Go back under whatever rock you dwell under.

Do you think Clark Kent's first few major articles were about the continued presence of lead pipes in parts of Metropolis' water system

[teaboot]

(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy

[teaboot]

One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable

[teaboot]

To be clear, Clark is still a fantastic investigative reporter. He still has to track down the sources to prove all this shit

[teaboot]

"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."

[sindri42]

I just love the idea of a cape maintaining their secret identity by pretending to be a completely different and less impressive kind of parahuman.

[roach-works]

everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because he’s just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.
