(i'd never heard of this site before but from what i've found it's fully legal. It has a subscription model, but you can also buy comics individually and there's a bunch of free stuff too, mostly from small creators)
PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL MY BABY BECOMES ANOTHER TRAGIC STORY YOU READ TOMORROW.
I keep imagining the moment someone asks me, "Is Qais still alive?!" I am terrified that one day I will not know how to answer. No mother should ever live with that fear hanging over every breath.
Every day, I fight two battles at once: comforting my child through pain and searching for a way to afford the medicine, bandages, and treatment he still desperately needs. I feel myself breaking a little more each day.
I am pleading with you as a persecuted mother in Gaza, helplessly watching my baby bleed before my eyes with no way to ease his pain. Please donate today and help me save his life before it is too late.
I am not asking for miracles. I am asking for the chance to keep fighting for my son. Please donate or share Qais's story today. Your kindness could help protect his future and remind us we are not alone.
critically stagnant spotlight campaigns for today (7/16.)
all campaigns are vetted by the organizers of gaza funds. this site has been vouched for by palestinian bloggers. for full transparency, a list of campaigns is available to view on their site. additionally, if you look at my list of individual campaigns, you will see that i personally trust these campaigns and have donated to them many times.
karem al-kahlout: 17 days since last donation
bessan khalaf: 15 days since last donation
dr. isam: 15 days since last donation
nada muhaisen: 12 days since last donation
basim and hla: 12 days since last donation
yasmin's family: 9 days since last donation
yahia hawajry: 9 days since last donation
ghazi mekawi: 8 days since last donation
hassan abdullah: 8 days since last donation
individual posts for these campaigns are generally ignored, which is why i've moved to using this pinned post instead. it simply takes me too long to queue up a bunch of posts people will just scroll past. please donât ignore this, you have the opportunity to throw someone a lifeline and do some real good. even if you donât have any money, a reblog is free and can help get more eyes on these campaigns. none of them are on tumblr, to my knowledge. nobody sees these campaigns unless people reblog posts about them or make their own posts.
thank you in advance for your consideration.

Like we all gotta go to work and do shit we don't wanna do for pay. I wholeheartedly respect these actors for having to literally pretend through this. But MAN. And I feel so bad for Assad because if this were my writing so far and we haven't even gotten to my season yet?? Looking at the crumpled bodies of Jacob and Delainey under antiblackness and knowing what's coming, I'd have to dodge lmao. Yelling at bro from the sunken place to get out!!!
Taking a bad or mediocre and shallow dumb comic book plot line and using my big beautiful heart and brain to make it more interesting than it was intended to be đ
i am pleased cass is so highly regarded as to be so highly nominated in the asian character poll while also acknowledging its mostly a runoff effect of broader batfam fandom popularity but at the same time it is kind of Hm that dcâs most popular asian character who is often the face of aapi efforts is the one who is perhaps the most thoroughly culturally (both mainland and diaspora) disconnected, isolated, and fragmentedâand then that dissociation is very rarely acknowledged or recognized*. though arguably feeling culturally disconnected is a big asian diaspora moment anyway so maybe it warps around to amazing meta commentary
*i am not reading more of brombals batgirl hes weeeeeeeeird about asians in there but maybe im wrong.

interesting how the descendants of the party well-known to be the most dutiful bootlickers to the british in the colonial era are now forcefully kidnapping and breaking the hunger strike of its own citizen, a protest method with deep anticolonial roots, just so they can protect one education minister who oversaw not one but seven (7!) major exam leaks
nobody UNDERSTANDS this post!! this is NOT about feeling BAD and watching your COMFORT show!!! this is about feeling FINE but then CHOOSING to watch a show that makes you want to KILL YOUR SELF
