found on Bluesky: a Dreamwidth post with lots of coverage of the current situation with Neil Gaiman, for those who wish to keep up and keep informed

Genuine question - I want to support Palestinian families by sharing their posts, but with tumblr being a big place for bots/scams, I don't want to share misleading or fake donation posts, and the sheer number of donation posts I'm mentioned in or am DMed about makes it had to verify them. I genuinely do want to support Palestinians, but the sheer amount is overwhelming and, again, makes it hard to tell if some are fake.

I know there's several vetters on Tumblr, but I'm still not totally sure - would it be better to share trusted organizations that are accepting donations?

I am not able to donate any money right now either, since I'm in college, and I know most people on Tumblr are here for the fandom & typically don't have much money to spare either. I want to support Palestinians, but I'm also not sure how the best way to do that without overwhelming myself every time I open tumblr is, as I want to be here to share fandom posts and my own artwork.

Sometimes i see my art and im like "wow it isnt half bad", but then i see amazing drawings with complicated backgrounds, full lighting and amazing composition and, i try to, i feel jealous.

Because all my life i heard how good i was, how many opportunities i had, how i have a good family that supports me when there arr others suffering, and now i feel im wasting all, that all those compliments are just for duty rather than real compliments

And that one day im gonna wake up and find out the horrible truth that i was right: that im worthless and everything else were lies

Hey how come fat girls are always called lesbians and d*ke as a bullying tactic? I never hear about skinny girls who are bullied being called a d*ke

Is it like, "oh you're too ugly to get boys so you MUST be a lesbian?" Like, what's the correlation? Like I'd been called gay and lesbian since late elementary school up until the end of high school? Granted they were right in the end (lol) but I know this isn't a specific experience to me.

I’m not gonna pretend i’ve never accidentally been guilty of it but, man, the casual transphobia of associating of genitals with gender is the worst. It’s so widespread even among people who claim to be allies, even among trans people ourselves... Just please remember there are women with penises, there are men with vaginas, please please please stop saying shit about how two men or two women can’t ever get each other pregnant, please stop treating cis as the default, it’s so fucking frustrating

some other teacher: Why on earth are they thinking about closing the schools?! It’s just another fucking version of the flu, get over it!!!

me, who teaches medically fragile children who absolutely WOULD be killed by the coronavirus, and is just impressed that her local district is doing something right by my kids for once:

(that being said, I absolutely get the validity of NOT wanting to close schools because it’s the only place some kids get a meal/time in their day where they feel physically and emotionally safe; i have some students who are both medically fragile AND very low income and I straight up don’t even know what to think in their case...)

Hmmm should I write right now? Or at 2am? Which one will it be today, I'll find out soon enough. In other news I'm so close to feeling comfortable enough to post chapter 1 of Human Promises: A Vister's Tale along with a synopsis too but i dont know if I should. I definitely would like to be more of a writeblr on here but at the same time idk if anyone besides like maybe 3 people will be interested in my story so...I'm definitely thinking about it. It's my baby, it's my oldest idea and I've put a lot of me in it so I want to share it with the world, I'm just scared I guess
