I’ve seen multiple takes from people who haven’t read Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights saying things like “why can’t people just go to the movies to have fun” about the film and I want to put this in perspective. This book is about racism, toxic codependency, domestic violence, grief, generational trauma, child abuse, and revenge. Wuthering Heights was not written to be a “fun” experience. Catherine dies. Her daughter gets abused by the man she loved. Her sister in law gets abused by the man she loved. Her nephew gets abused by the man she loved. Heathcliff is not “lover goals” he is scary, obsessed, angry, violent, half insane toward the end of the book because his entire life was filled with racism and the only person he believed to have loved him died very young. What about any of those plot points screams “we’re having fun” to anyone? Turning those parts of the story into smut and BDSM tropes is insane. People are allowed creative liberties, but erasing every meaningful plot point from the source material about overcoming abuse and replacing it with sex and submissive behavior from incredibly strong characters is absolutely not a good use of free will. She should’ve posted this shit to literotica and saved everyone the trouble of having to explain this.
someone at work told me 'oh, just ask chat' when i raised a casual question and i asked what she meant and she said 'you know, chatgpt' like im an idiot. and i should get an award for the fact that i did not start snarling and biting and killing
[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying
"fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug"]
I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware
but!
if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public
it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)
ALSO :
you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.
bc after the release of these very sensitive documents that have been denied denied denied denied for literally decades and now that they’re out for simply pedophilia to be the LEAST HORRIFIC thing about them why aren’t we in the streets crashing out.
💔🇵🇸 My Daughter Was Born Under Bombs — I'm Just Trying to Keep Her Alive
My name is Abdulmajid.
I got married one month before the war.
Those were beautiful days — full of hope, love, and simple dreams.
I dreamed of a small home, a quiet family, and a baby girl I could hold without fear.
But the war came…
Suddenly. Brutally.
My mother was killed.
My brother was killed.
Children in my family were taken by the bombs.
My home was destroyed.
And my work stopped completely.
Then… in the middle of this nightmare, my baby girl was born.
A tiny soul, innocent, unaware of the war.
She cries from hunger, from cold, from the sounds of bombs shaking what’s left of our walls.
Today, I’m a father with almost nothing…
Fighting every day to find flour, milk, or even a small meal to feed my child.
Prices are sky-high — a single 25kg bag of flour can cost $800.
There is no work. No income. No safety. No stability.
I write this from under siege, hoping my heart will reach yours.
My name is Abedmajed Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.
Even $1 can make a difference.
It can feed a child, buy milk, or bring a moment of peace.
Be the heart that reaches Gaza. Be the hand that saves.

Hello friends, supporters, and everyone who uses Tumblr,
Hello everyone, my name is Sahar! I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of a dear friend of mine in Gaza and his family. I have been tal
The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people.
The Rafah crossing will be opened as soon as possible, God willing. We need help, friends. Please donate.
The State of Qatar announced a complete agreement on all the details, and said that the ceasefire would be implemented on Sunday, then postponed until Monday.
Many people have been killed in the past 24 hours and have been impatiently waiting for a ceasefire, so I ask you, my friends, to donate to us so that we can leave at the first opportunity if we are allowed. Please donate.
Your donation, my friend, can get us out of here, so please donate so we can evacuate soon.
Gaza is still being bombed while waiting for a ceasefire, and many people have been martyred since the agreement. Please don't think the agreement means we no longer need your support, this is an opportunity to donate to make sure we have the funds to evacuate once the borders finally open again!!!
We are really tired. I am making a great effort to convey my voice to you, and your donation is not a simple thing, it is a chance of new survival for my family
Amplify me by reblogging and donate if you can, please 🙏🏻
We’ve cried blood not just tears waiting for this ceasefire in Gaza and hopefully tomorrow it begins. So yes, tomorrow families like mine will walk out into a wasteland. Homes crushed to dust, streets erased, memories scattered like ash. We’ve buried people we love, people who deserved to live and now we stand in the ruins wondering how to go on when there’s nothing left. I’m writing this not because I know what to say but because I have no choice. A few dollars, a reblog "anything" to remind us we haven’t been completely abandoned. When the dust settles we’ll still be here broken, grieving and left with nothing but the faint hope that someone, somewhere, still sees us.

Journalists interrupt and berate Blinken on Gaza policy.
Several journalists who are outspoken critics of US support for Israel loudly lambasted US Secretary of State Antony Blinken over the war on Gaza on Thursday, repeatedly interrupting his final press conference as he sought to defend his handling of the 15-month-old war.
“Criminal! Why aren’t you in The Hague,” shouted Sam Husseini, an independent journalist and longtime critic of Washington’s approach to the world, before being physically dragged outside of the briefing room.
“Why did you keep the bombs flowing when we had a deal in May?” Max Blumenthal, editor of the Grayzone, an outlet that strongly criticizes many aspects of US foreign policy, called out to Blinken before being escorted out.
fundamentally vile. there's just no words to speak of how evil this is. like i said, the palestinians will celebrate a ceasefire but the war is never over.
