in light of israel's looming invasion on rafah, south africa implored the icj to call for the protection of palestinians with new preliminary orders. the icj denied this request, insisting that its january orders would be sufficient in ensuring the safety of people residing in rafah.
we have all seen how israel responded to the icj verdict earlier this month. they have all but intensified their attacks on palestinians, their favorite of whom seem to be children. this will end in a bloodbath. palestinians, already malnourished and living in literal tents, will be bombarded, they will be shot, they will be slaughtered. and when i say palestinians, a lot of them are actual toddlers. the videos coming out of this are proof enough.
at this point, it has been made amply clear that palestinians will never experience safety in their own homeland. a lot of the families in gaza are trying to raise funds to get out of it, because there's nowhere left to go.
there is nowhere left to go. if these people don't get the funds necessary to escape, they will die.
it's vital that you go to operation olive branch's spreadsheet, choose a family that resonates with you, and donate as much as you can to their gofundme. every last dollar counts. one dollar could be the difference between life and death for a family. please don't fall victim to the bystander effect. your contribution matters, however little it may be. and whether you're able to donate or not, spread this to as many people as you can. each second we stay silent is a second an entire family is brutally massacred.

Yooo it's the MazM anon, just wanted to give you a goodbye too! I know I don't talk much but I liked seeing your posts on POTO and even JTTW stuff even though I don't know JTTW very well dfkgksdfk. Getting to talk to you about MazM helped me sort out a lot of thoughts I had and I'll always appreciate that!
Hey Mazm anon! (ah, it's been a while!) Thanks so much for stopping by to leave a final goodbye! It's been eons since I played MazM, but it gets props for being the first mobile game I was actually able to finish LOL Thanks for all your Mazm asks back then, and I'm glad my rambling was able to help you a little with your own thoughts :)
Goodbye, and take care!

Hi dorkshadows! I just wanted to give you a proper goodbye when I saw that you're leaving the hellsite. Thanks so much for all the years of fun and hilarity; your JTTW posts are some of my fondest internet memories from growing up and becoming "an adult". Thank you so much for all the laughs you've given me and for all the helpful advice and kind words you offered a babu first stumbling into the JTTW fandom. You helped me grow more confident in my writing and more comfortable sharing it with others, with your wonderfully thoughtful comments and amazing advice, and I can't thank you enough for that. You've always been one of my favorite people on here, and although I'm sad to see you go, I know you're going on to do wonderful things and have an amazing life. I wish you all the best with your writing, your hobbies, and your future going forward. Know that we'll miss you on here, but I'm glad you're going on to bigger and brighter things. Thanks for all the wonderful memories, and I wish you the best of luck. You definitely deserve it. :)

Urbanlegends aahhhh, I don't even know what to say ;D; asdfasdf thank you so much- this is so sweet- I- the BABY MONKEYS
Yes, I've had much fun with this blog- and it's definitely been an era, but my sixth sense tells me it's time to move on! And I wanted to properly "announce" it. That said, thank you so much for this goodbye :'D Really really means a lot to me.
I'm so happy and honored my jttw posts provided some good internet memories for you! And it was my pleasure to help out! Thank you so much for supporting my content, sharing your ideas with me, and being a great buddy in general!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again- your writing is truly amazing, and whether it's sharing fanfics for fun or trying your hand at original fiction, I know you'll do wonderful things with either! I'm honored to be one of your favorite people here (and vice versa, fyi!), and I wish you all the best with your goals, life, and hobbies too!
Truly, thank you so much for the sweet wishes. It's stuff I'll definitely need to read again and again :'D I really, really appreciate it! I'll cherish the memories for sure, and the best of luck to you as well!!

I just saw that you're leaving us. Very bittersweet. I wish you all the best even though I'm going to miss tagging you in weird Phantom posts 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the message! Yep, it’s the end of an era but I’ve felt like this for a while, that I should say goodbye. And I’ll definitely miss the things you tag me in, as well as the DS fandom as a whole! Thanks for being one of the best mutuals/buddies out there, and I wish you (and your loved ones and your pets!) all the best in the world <3 <3 <3

Hello! I know you are off to bigger and better things than this hellsite, but I just wanted to thank you for always bringing a smile to my face whenever you commented on my silly jttw drawings & whenever you took the time to provide information on everyone's favorite journey, from questions of translation to delving into the most cursed retellings out there. I wish you the best on everything in your non-hellsite life!
Hi @sketching-shark! This is such a sweet message to receive :') And now I'm the one with a smile on my face! I'm so happy that I could make you smile too, and that the little jttw translations, info., etc. (and miscellaneous cursed trivia LOL) I made were able to spark some joy! If that's the case, then it was definitely worth the time it took.
Again, thank you so much for the kind wishes, and I wish you the best with everything too! Your message seriously means a lot to me, and I'm definitely taking it to heart! And I hope you'll continue making your jttw drawings and have fun while you're at it!
Farewell, and best of luck on your pilgrimage too ;)

As a final goodbye, Blue Sky Studios came together and gave Scrat a send off on their own terms.
He finally got his nut.

my absolute favorite thing about richard “dick” grayson, hands down, is the fact that he always insists to be called dick. in every version of him, every show every movie every game, he’s like “yeah my name is dick”
like this isnt the 1940s anymore. its 2017 and everyone snickers when they figure out his name is dick but he genuinely doesnt care. this boy is in the era where dick jokes are at its peak and he still looks at everyone w/ the straightest poker face like “call me dick”

My Erlang Shen statue
I just picked up this 40 cm (15.75 in) tall Shiwan (石灣) pottery statue of Erlang shen (二郎神), a.k.a. the only deity to truly defeat the Monkey King. It’s magnificent.

Chinese stamps commemorating the 1964 animated movie, “Havoc in Heaven,” based on the misbehaving, mouthy Monkey King making trouble in the orderly world of the Celestials. 
It’s a commemoration of the historic era (between 1950-1966) when Shanghai was one of the animation capitals of the world, when the Wan Brothers and others worked with the Shanghai Arts and Film Studio….but before the beginning of the cultural revolution in the late 1960s, when many Chinese animators returned to the countryside as farmers or workers. Prior to 1966, the Chinese animation world was far more technical and developed than the equivalent industry in Japan at the same time, but after the cultural revolution in ‘67, China never really recovered from that lost decade, and Shanghai was never really the cultural center of animation in Asia again, despite some extraordinary efforts (usually in Shanghai by people trained by the Wan Brothers).
