froyo for mikey

There are also accounts that verify legitimate palestinian folks in need!!

Reblogging because i totally fell for one of these and gave 15 dollars to some scum on the internet. Do better than me 😭

Some quick tips to spotting accounts that are pretending to be a Palestinian needing mutual aid. Please keep in mind that not all of them are scam accounts, and that some may legitimate blogs who just aren’t too knowledgeable on how tumblr works. This guide is based around what I go by when checking certain blogs and usually it’s a quick giveaway the blog is a scam.

1. You was sent the ask as someone who regularly shares Palestine related content such as regular news updates of posts by other Palestinians who are regularly giving updates. You may also get these asks from sharing a popular post that is from the Palestine tag. If you post often about Palestine, you will always start getting these asks. These askers don’t care if you state don’t send the asks. They will anyway. Unfortunately minors also get sent asks.

2. The ask has odd formatting such as having odd quotation marks in it or unusual formatting that may indicate it’s been edited and copied from somewhere else. Often the ask is the same thing as the post itself minus a link to a donation site. These asks rarely change so searching it should pull up if it’s been sent to other bloggers and sometimes the asks are edited only to add new phrases to them in time.

3. The account is almost always a few days old or a week old or long depending on how often they have sent asks. Usually some may even be an hour old and reusing a familiar pfp/ask.

4. The blog has a few Palestine related posts or posts from random tags reblogged to pad out length and then no more. They will have no original posts besides the pinned post while occasionally answering asks that they may have received but otherwise nothing else and no further updates given either.

5. They may have a Linktree link that is called “GoFundMe” as if indicating they have a GoFundMe there. However, they don’t. When clicked on, the Linktree actually goes to a PayPal account whose name may not even match the one their supposed name is. They’ll say it’s a friend, but it’s just the same person not someone else. You’ll see this same name across multiple accounts after a while usually giving away it’s not legitimate even under a different theme.

6. The text used by the blogs are often real stories stolen from legitimate fundraisers and searching parts of it in your preferred search engine should pull up the sources. These sources make no mention of a tumblr account either or don’t have the PayPal account associated with them in the info. Scammers often impersonate a real person in need and will ignore you if you show them the source they copied from.

7. Legitimate Palestinians often link to their own GoFundMe posts that their friends have set up or post links to other social platforms they are found on. They will regularly post updates when possible, post sources to support them when necessary, and also generally have some method of verifying their legitimacy. They may often share links to support others as well or give links to charities that have been shown as reliable. They will have more original posts than just a single pinned one and regularly speak to other tumblr accounts beyond just an ask. Please don’t bother them with asks about possible scam accounts. There are many guides out there that can do that for you if you search. You may find verified fundraisers too.

8. Scammers don’t know anything about Palestine and will often have trouble once you ask them anything beyond the mutual aid post. They don’t know the languages decently and you can tell it pretty easily if you’re one who uses it regularly. Whatever the scammers use is often just copied off the site they got the post from. Sometimes the text is just reused from past scams such as asking for insulin that doesn’t last long.

9. These scammers can and will use names stolen off real Palestinians to look more legitimate and trustworthy. They change names constantly once one of their PayPal accounts is shut down.

10. If you do see a GoFundMe link on a blog, don’t immediately assume it’s a scam just because it’s a relatively new account. Check the post notes to see if anyone’s verified the account yet or wait a bit as it takes time. You likely can search around to see if anyone’s posted anything where the blog has been vetted by others. You may also see if the GoFundMe is referred to on other socials or on lists that compile verified and vetted fundraisers.

Please don’t let these scams deter you from sending support where it needs to go. Even if you can’t donate personally, there are other ways to help. If you are sending money, please make sure that it’s going to where it’s needed and the place it’s sent has been verified accordingly. If you find a blog is a scammer, and have been able to prove it, please make sure to alert anyone sharing the post and report the account.

Soooo

....

The outsiders musical, huh?

GO, GO NOW'S YOUR CHANCE TO RANT!!!

OHHHHHHH MY GOD I LOOOOVE YOU ANON I LOVE YOU

RANT INCOMING

Dude I listened to it maybe a year ago and just. WOAUGH. I'm seeing it in a few months and I'm BEYOND excited. Nearly everything about that musical is top tier for me. The beautiful voices... the characterization...

ESPECIALLY love the highlight on Pony and Johnny's relationship. cause like. wow. they really were something. :) Their duets are some of my favorites amongst the soundtrack, the lyrics and their voices work sooo well together.

Also LOVELOVELOVE the focus on Darry's struggles too, and a greater focus on Dally's relationship with Johnny :') make me hurt make me cry...

I LOVE all the casting (Pony, Johnny, Cherri, Dally, Darry, Soda, okay actually I'm just listing all the characters... whoops...) the choreography, the set, the costuming, the EVERYTHINGGG If the cast changes before I get to see them live I will be so normal (depression.)

I think that there are some things that I wish were translated into song instead of done in spoken scenes in between, and some characters should've gotten more of a highlight imo (entirely thought that they tossed Steve out the window when I first listened to it & also who the actual heck is Ace...), but I haven't seen the musical live yet so!!

And I think that where as most of the lyrics hit for me, there are a few times when I think there could be a little better lyricism. Small things like in Justice for Tulsa when Cherry goes "Could this have gone a different way, I can't believe I'm standing here today" feel a bit too simple? But I digress. The lyrics work when they need to, and my god they hit hard.

They hit the overall mood SOOOO good the instrumentation punches me in the face x 3000 every time I listen to the soundtrack, and man some of these tracks have for real become comfort songs.

I love the book so much, I read it at the time in my life that I needed to, it reminds me of the teacher who introduced me to it who since passed, and I'm happy with how they adapted the musical.

TLDR; I love the musical very much.

Could get into hour long conversations about it haha

Anon, have you listened to it? I recommend you do if you've read the book, it's a little bit hard to pick up on its own!

Happy birthday to the space man!!
