It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.

decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years

UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire

US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire

Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests

Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza

in less miserable news, my copy of maxim finally showed up so I could scan it. “Meet the new Rugrats“ is now an incredibly dated way of saying “this is the next explosive cartoon craze”

this is what i mean about storylines making the project as a whole way less interesting and unique. the characters are robbed of their self-awareness which means they can’t make this kind of meta-commentary. they don’t know they’re in a music video now. they can’t make these kinds of comments about the cracker island videos because as far as the characters are aware, they aren’t videos, just real events happening to them.

it just kills me, man. it was such a cool idea. now they’re just reduced to purely narrative devices like 99% of other fictional characters.

Hello everyone, although I wouldn't have expected to post stuff like this, this is a time of dire need.

At around 4 AM GMT+3, an earthquake hit the southern provinces of Türkiye: Kahramanmaraş and Hatay with the power of 7.8

The largest earthquake ever recorded in the region since 1939.

People were't able to escape as they were sleeping, there is over 5k injured right now and the estimated death count surpasses 16k.

The entire army and the special forces have been directed to the area to aid the rescue effort with many nations directing aid to Türkiye.

There is literal people, sharing their and their family's locations on Twitter, under the tons of rubble for the authorities to find them. over 140 THOUSAND building are reduced to dust and foreign report that the damage costs are estimated around 3 billion USD.

As a Turkish citizen myself, although thankfully not affected by it due to living far more west, I am devastated and exhausted by this. That my nation who is already struggling from many angles, stuck by such a natural disaster that affects so many people. It's just so exasperating.

For the ones who are eligible, I really really urge that you donate to the Turkish Red Cresent and AFAD (The Turkish Disaster and Emergency Management Office) to help the thousands and thousands of people struggling for their lives. I will be personally donating also and they accept donations in USD and Euros. For the ones not available to donate, plase share this post around more communities so we can spread the awareness of the situation to more people. I am linking the necessary websites below. (THE WEBISTES HAVE AN ENGLISH OPTION IN THE TOP RIGHT)

Stay safe everyone
