Permanent ceasefire, total liberation of the people of Palestine, then the US and Israeli governments should have to pay mass reparations to at least rebuild the damage they've fucking done

It wont bring back the martyred, but it still should be done

The double standard 🤮

Also when israeki diaper force snipes 4 year old, media says "accidentally a stray bullet found its way into a 3-4 year old young lady"

I just wait for the day when israel has to pay for everything it has done. We will never forgive, we will never forget.

Help My Family Escape War in Gaza, organized by Yoseph Hamid

Hi, my name is Yoseph, and I'm fundraising to save my family from the ongoing violence… Yoseph Hamid needs your support for Help My Family

hi everyone, my dad and his siblings have been desperately trying to get my aunt and her whole family out of gaza. I’ve watched him have multiple breakdowns over seeing the conditions they’re living in. they haven’t seen each other in person in literal decades. my aunt’s home in gaza city was completely destroyed and her family have had to repeatedly flee from the devastation. they deserve a better life than this, her kids deserve a better future than this.

it costs an insane amount to get over the egyptian border. please, donate if you can or rb this, it would mean a lot. thank you

people treat bisan, motaz and plestia like they're influencers instead of, you know, people who have endured/are enduring war crimes beyond imagining and ethnic cleansing. what I mean is, they never asked to be spokesperson for their people's humanity, or planned to be so visible. they're just people, ordinary people who can never go home, who are surviving colonial violence. what they're doing and what they have done defies any term of admiration or respect I could apply. But I wish that people would stop thinking of these individual Palestinians trying to survive in war zones like celebrities or politicians with actual power because it's just another form of dehumanisation. Ask yourself, what will you do if something happens to Bisan? If she is killed or goes dark or inshallah she escapes? Everyday I see posts like, "if Bisan dies, I'll riot!" riot NOW. speak up, now! Palestinians and Lebanese and Syrian people who aren't going viral on social media are being murdered by the occupation in the 100s everyday. I am begging people to stop hingeing their faith in the free Palestine movement and the movement to end the Zionist occupation on individuals. I love Bisan and Motaz and Plestia with all my heart and pray for them every day, but I'm begging people not to reframe Palestinian liberation through individualism. Support BDS, donate to UNRWA or the Red Crescent Society, listen to Palestinians across Palestine and the diaspora. Your belief in the freedom of Indigenous peoples has to transcend the ones most visible and palatable to you.

Bless every single one of you and may you be protected.

Reminder that the Houthis have not killed a single person during the blockade, they have blocked trade. They will stop delaying shipping when the genocide stops. That is the point. And yet, Yemen has had to suffer and their people have been murdered by two of the biggest villain nations on the planet.

"- Wear shirts, pins, keffiyehs, anything outwardly pro Palestine.

Email your Representatives, Congress, White House. Tell the people in charge you want a ceasefire.

Talk to your local library about holding an educational night about the genocide and/or Palestinian culture.

Make schoolwork about Palestine! Writing about news? Focus on Palestine. Making questions for a test? Use Palestine as an example.

Find social media accounts for your representatives and schools, and make a fuss. Comment and @ them!

Show up to local actions (i.e. protests), join and organization, and follow Palestinian journalists! (next line) - Motaz Azaiza, Plestia Alaqad, Hind Khoudary, Bisan Owda -

Educate yourself on anti-Palestine talking points (Palestine toolkit) and how to refute them in a calm manner.

Speak up! It's scary, but don't let other people's bigotry go unchecked. You'll find that other people agree, and speak up from your example.

Don't engage with people unwilling to learn. Your goal is to educate people who are and make those comfortable with genocide feel UNCOMFORTABLE."

Don't pay a single cent to Tumblr, its merch, or the checkmarks. 4 blogs erased in about 48 hours, fuelled by transmisogyny. If you want to read more about it, look up the usernames of the blogs involved and scroll through the posts. There's no shortage of explanations or perspectives from the transfems on tumblr. And tbh I'm worried that more will be deleted for speaking out.

[el-shab-hussein]

Me and dozens of other Palestinian bloggers have been on the receiving end of no shortage of harassment, threats, stalking. There are several users who consistently create and recreate accounts that come back to harass us everytime we block them, to spout the most heinous, genocidal, racist drivel that no one else receives on this website, because we're Palestinians and we're outspoken on our right to exist in peace and as sovereign people. This is the least of it.

The knowledge that staff can actually take care of this problem, along with the nazis, the white supremacists, and the TERF epidemic, that I don't have to deal with the shit I do on this website every day - but don't - and instead use their moderation capabilities to delete trans women's blogs arbitrarily?

There are no words.

One really interesting thing about Ice King’s development from Villain With a Pathetic Comedic Side to Tragic Awkward Friend with a Silly Exterior is… very early on in the show, when Ice King was written more as a straight-up villain, he also had a tendency to use... I guess, ‘fancier’ words - that the Later, Friendlier and Goofier Ice King wouldn’t really use.

From a Doylist perspective, this is really just a case of the writers needing some time to figure out IK’s characterization. Back when he was supposed to be more of a villain, he would occasionally switch to Dramatic Villain Speech Quirks - which often include Fancy Words. When the AT Crew started emphasizing Ice King’s likability, they also emphasized how goofy and silly and sometimes a bit stupid he is.

But from a Watsonian perspective, it’s pretty easy to read this as evidence that the process of Simon losing his mind to the Crown was still ongoing at the start of the series. Ice King’s occasional eloquence was a remnant of Simon Petrikov’s vocabulary

that he pretty soon lost completely.

(Another example of that is compering ‘Holly Jolly Secrets’, where Ice King did at least seem to know that the Guy on the Tape was him to “I Remember You”, where he seemed to have absolutely zero recognition that Simon is/was him.)

And that’s kind of an interesting development because… ever since “Holly Jolly Secrets”, the audience (and on some level, the other characters) conceptualized the idea of the Ice King Redemption as being about restoring his lost ‘Simon-ness’. That, you know, his memories and identity of being Simon are inherently tied in with any attempt to make Ice King both happier and less harmful. 

But in a fashion... Ice King was kinda getting better at the same time he was losing yet another remnant of his old identity as Simon. You know, I don’t think it’s a direct causation thing. It’s not like it’s good for the Ice King to lose his mind more and more to the Crown. It’s more that… the support and friendship the other characters have given him were not reversing or mitigating the part of the Curse that made him lose his original identity and memory - they were just making him a happier Ice King.

out of habit, i try not to overexplain my comics, but this seems to be a reoccuring question here.

the purpose of this comic IS to promote better habits, not to shame people out of using medication when theyre in pain. the problem here is not the use of pain relievers, but

1) taking them on an empty stomach and long term can cause organ damage

2) by not changing the lifestyle that lead to my pain, i wasnt doing anything to lessen it or change the outcome. i was getting used to my own hurting and coming to expect it

at the end of the day, i have changed my habits so that i now do not need to take pain reliever, almost ever. but the purpose of this comic was to remind people not to become so used to their own pain it becomes a routine part of their day. some people have chronic conditions, its true, but for a lot of people there are small things you can do to improve your life so that it hurts less.

if my moral here is 'dont become so accustomed to your own pain you consider poor self care the norm', why would i ever shame anyone out of trying to relieve pain so they can sleep better? if i had just said 'grit your teeth, sleep terribly, just deal with the pain' ? thats sillieness. come on now

starting to suspect reading les mis in small daily doses is going to be less of an "updates from my good friends jonathan and mina" vibe and more of a "victor hugo barges into my house at lunchtime every day and begins debating me on a topic I absolutely did not ask him about"
