i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.
i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.
palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.
they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.
palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.
here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

Still wild that people got mad at a woman for punching another woman in a "who can punch" harder contest. Goes to show how much the world is against female athletes.

It's still insane to me how Rusty was capable of writing a real world scenario in which a black butch woman (or just a black woman period) would be targeted by transvestigation just for being butch and black, and yet somebow Rusty thought it was completely realistic and truthful to life that it's trans allies who transvestigate, not transphobes
Ah yes
Somebody who supports trans people is 100% more likely to transvestigate somebody and invalidate their identity even if they're a cisgender woman, totally not the group of people who had a brown woman in the Olympics under a internet firing squad because she dared to be too good at boxing, and therein it meant she had to secretly be a man because how dare she hurt the little feeble white princess she was put up against.
beatles vs beetles who winning
Are we talking prime beatles or current beatles? Cause half of them are currently dead, the beetles would win.
But prime beatles would have the crowd stomp the beetles so they would win.
I don't understand the obsession with sex and all things physical in terms of showing attraction.
It's one of those mentalities that let porn take such presidence in our society- that sex is fundamentally, something everyone shows to prove they're "attracted" to something. And that later leads to the degradation we see later on in r*pe fantasies and exploitation that have been, in fact, popularised by pornography.
Sex in modern society is just a way to present control; over women, over other people, and as we saw earlier, over minority groups people see as "needing to be fixed". Sex has fundamentally become the ultimate show of power, and a lot of things aren't helping it.
Sex as empowerment needs to be followed up with the reminder that it's just *sex*. Love and appreciation don't have to be physical to be truly meaningful. And it gets lost in so many of the muddled discussions between the hard-core "Abstinence"-ers, the perversion, and the objectification that often ensues in a discussion regarding sex and how we perceive it.
Ultimately, stigmas regarding sex *need* to be broken down. Sex education, sex workers, all of it needs to be discussed and examined because if we keep this all under wraps, we're not letting the right people have the discussion. We ultimately tear ourselves apart using either hushed tones or bigotry against topics regarding sex and sexual attraction.
that's just my two cents, anyway
