You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!

DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!

[dazxd-and-confusxd]

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.

An Ao3 appreciation post

You guys DID THE THING and I salute you for it.

As a writer, this site has given me the opportunity to expose my writing to hundreds, if not thousands of people. It's also an amazing outlet to share whatever headcannons or imagines I have of any fandom I'm obsessed with. It is Ellis Island for poc & lgbtqia+ writers who may or may not have the support of their peers, family or even a publisher but yearn to share their works with the world.

As a reader, I also enjoy the content within ao3. There's something for every person of every background and fandom. It's amazing the masterpieces that have been generated from ao3.

So I'd like to use this post as an opportunity to show my immense appreciation and gratitude to all those who've worked tirelessly these past few days to save this amazing thing. Kudos to all of you!

The Ao3 community is forever.

i'm actually so fucking sick of zionists using phrases such as "Was it worth it, Hamas?" cause literally what the fuck are y'all yapping about??? Israel has been indiscriminately bombing gaza in front of our eyes since last October, Israel has murdered more than 30 thousands Palestinians within 5 months, Israel is forcefully starving gaza, Israel is the one committing war crimes everyday, Israel is continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Israel. is. illegally. occupying. Palestine.

we all know who are the perpetrators here. and zionists can't gaslight people into "hamas started it" bullshit anymore. everyone is actually sick of Israel's dumb colonialism propaganda where they just repeat same old tactics “how dare you palestinians resist us, after we have your stolen land, freedom, human rights and subjugated your people under fascist colonial regime.”

Israel carry out atrocities in broad daylight and then go ahead blame Palestinian resistance for the said act of savagery they've performed, "O their audacity!" indeed!

"Alice Isn't Dead: A Novel" by Joseph Fink

My mini review of this book; It's a really good book with great wlw representation. The main character Keisha has an anxiety disorder and I really enjoyed the way she was written. The first 2 parts of the book had me hooked and I loved the mystery it presented, the atmosphere the author set was a vivid testimony to rural/mid America and life on "the road." The relationship with Keisha and Alice was super cute and the way Keisha's grief was described really gave me an idea of her mindset. I love how Keisha chose to not forgive Alice because Alice deserved it, but because Keisha deserved to be happy. I rarely see books make their characters deal with the consequences of their actions, and it was a moment that felt very real and in character.

I will say that there is a pretty big tone shift in the second half of the book, I wont say any spoilers but the switch from small town, trucker, mid-west murder conspiracy wasn't something I saw coming. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, and the writing continues to deliver all its goodness from the first half.

All and all I highly recommend this book, not only to the Welcome to Night Vale enjoyers, but anyone looking for a good mystery/horror fiction/thriller book.

Palestinians are starving!!!!

there is another symbol of palestinian resistance that needs more traction: the spoon! the story behind it is really powerful and admirable

Yes, the Gilboa prison break that happened in September 2021. Six Palestinian prisoners used spoons to escape the maximum security Gilboa prison in Israel. They used spoons to dig a hole to escape, and then spoons became a symbol of freedom in Palestine.

There’s a small article about it on Al Jazeera which is also where I found some cool pictures showing how Palestinians use spoons as a symbol of freedom and resistance to honour the 6 prisoners

Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon

God, the way paramedics in Gaza pull children out from under the rubble while people around them are repeatedly asking "is he alive? Is he alive?" but seconds later we hear a faint "no" followed by "okay keep going" because there's a new body coming... we simply cannot get used to this despite how many times we come across the same exact scene. Our humanity will always get in the way of Israel's relentless attempts to desensitise us.

Today’s sponsor is spoons. Can’t get soup without ‘em. What are you going to do? Drink soup? Just pick the bowl up and drink it? Now that I’m saying it out loud, that actually would work fine. I think there’s a number of cultures where that’s how they do soup. Still, how are you going to eat yogurt without a spoon? Ever thought of that? What are you going to do, put it in some kind of pouch that you can carry around and then….no, they’ve done that too? Really?

Ok fine. So there are fewer exclusive-use cases than we thought. But still, spoons are useful. Try spoons once, and buddy, I think you’re going to be back to try more. Our great culture rests on the back of the humble spoon, and don’t you ever forget it.

Spoons: Like a fork, but for wet.

“Robert Pattinson showed up with iPhone voice recordings and had already nailed the voice for ‘THE BOY AND THE HERON’ before recording started. It was his first ever voice role and he finished in 2 days.” (source)

He wants to laugh at the irony, he really does, as he lets Potter brand his arm and override the dark mark with a new one.
