the way the white dub actors are praised for wildly different (and worse) performances than the Japanese voice actors is just straight up white supremacy & racism especially in dungeon meshi. I have no idea how Laios' and Marcille's dub performances are getting praised as "better" when they're tonally inconsistent, shouty, impatient, unnuanced etc etc etc calling it preference is just insulting to the level of skill in the craft their Japanese VAs have

Some verified Gaza GFMs on Tumblr!

These gfms belong to organizers who have reached out to me and all of them are nowhere near their goals, there are a few more I'm going through right now but these are all verified. Please share and donate to help these families.

@ahmadturk00 is a verified gfm! Mohammed Skaik is raising funds for his cousin and their family to evacuate Gaza - Ahmad Al Turk's family is made up of seven people and are currently living in a tent - they are a newer gfm and need urgent support. (€1,332/ €70,000 - 4/30/2024)

@hlabarka is also a newer GFM but has been completely verified, she is raising the funds to evacuate with her three-year-old daughter and her husband from Gaza and into Egypt, she and her family have been forced to relocate in Gaza seven times. ($1,112/ $50,000 - 4/30/2024)

@maisonhijazi is organizing for Hamdi, a father in Gaza who is trying to evacuate his children to safety - they just had a baby girl while displaced in Gaza. Please help him get the funds he needs to evacuate his family to Egypt. ($6,852/$25,000 - 4/30/2024)

@mohammedfamily87  Tareq Abu Obaid is organizing for his friend Mohammad Mousa, Mohammed is trying to evacuate his three children and his wife - his house was airstriked back in October, and has lost several members of his family already. (€170/€80,000 - 4/30/2024)

@ahmednabubaker is organizing for Yusuf, an eight-year-old boy who is being threatened with kidney failure, and Yusuf's family - this campaign is for Yusuf and his family to be evacuated to Egypt so Yusuf can be treated and receive a kidney transplant. This is extremely urgent. (€1,489/€85,000 - 4/30/2023)

My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.

Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

taffy being filipino is such a great part of her character, even though she never brings it up. she is the only character of color in lisa frankenstein. she is surrounded by white people, even her mom is white. she's a cheerleader and a beauty pageant winner, but she is also an outsider, just like lisa. and she copes by assimilating herself as much as possible, keeping the peace and keeping everyone happy, putting a positive spin on everything. this is a huge part of how she tries to help lisa; she's constantly telling lisa that see, if you just put in a little effort, you can fit in like me. if you suppress everything that makes you who you are, you can be popular and pretty and just like everyone else

In the ruins of what had been Nasser hospital, the biggest in southern Gaza, Reuters saw emergency workers in white hazmat suits digging corpses out of the ground with hand tools and a digger truck. The emergency services said 73 more bodies had been found at the site in the past day, raising the number found over the week to 283.

Gaza authorities say the bodies recovered so far are from just one of at least three mass graves they have found at the site. "We expect to find another 200 bodies at the same mass grave in the coming two days before we will begin working at the two other cemeteries," Ismail Al-Thawabta, director of the Hamas-run government media office, told Reuters. He accused Israel of carrying out "executions" at the hospital and covering up the crimes by burying bodies with a bulldozer. Israel strongly denies having carried out executions.

it is so wild to me how I feel like leftist spaces by and large ignore blatant, implicit, and systematic fatphobia. how we will write so many think pieces about LGBT+ representation or representation for people of color but take no issue with there being a blatant lack of fat people who aren't jokes in media - how this is especially true for fat people of color despite the fact that fatness and race politics are inextricable - that we discuss power and privilege as if this aspect of it is related to some nebulous idea of self esteem & beauty rather than a widespread medicalized axis of oppression

These are billion dollar for profit institutions that directly impact financial backing of Israel’s apartheid regime

the way kate thought anthony was cute and then stalked him into the garden only to hear the most misogynistic speech of the night and the way he thought that it wouldn't make him look bad was so funny he really learned zero lessons from the first season

also the way lady danbury was teaching them all of the wrong lessons & giving edwina (and kate) all the wrong advice because she normalized her abusive marriage as a part of life is so interesting after queen charlotte

after having two deaths in my immediate family I feel that it's kind of insane to be over 80 and still want to be a politician when you don't even have a strong commitment to bettering anything. like i really truly do not understand why biden drags his carcass around trying his best every day to aid and abet genocide when he could just be napping or fishing or whatever the fuck why would you do that when your own life is so fragile

It will always astound me that zionists and zionist sympathizers just state things completely unsupported by facts. Like they deny don't cite a single fact other than "I just know" or the freaking Jewish Virtual Library which is a known antipalestinian and zionist resource. I can cite Avi Shlaim and Ilan pappe and other antizionist jews and Palestinian scholars and I can even literally point to Israeli state archives (because they document themselves pretty proudly committing crimes ACROSS swana) and then they just don't look. They just pretend they didn't see or they ignore it. Or they cite Wikipedia. Like no actually you cannot make assertions without supporting evidence and then pass it off as unadulterated fact. It frustrates me to no end the complete bastardization of fact and mixing it with Israeli talking points completely seriously.

on more bridgerton discourse I think it's fine if Penelope has a physical relation with Lord Debling (or not). The reason is not so she can get "revenge" on Colin but so Bridgerton can stop the cycle of "this man fucks so often and so frequently he's basically a god" and "woman who has never had a sexual encounter before him." it would be especially refreshing because Penelope is finding herself and what she wants. is it going to happen? no, but it's really weird to see everyone so obsessed with her chastity.

if Colin is going to be whipped for the girl that called him a beta cuck and his little sister a communist bitch I think he can handle not a virgin. like I'm supposed to be fine with him crawling shirtless into the carriage with his baby brother gregory in the passenger seat after some threesome sexcapade or whatever and then Penelope can't even have a horny makeout with another guy? for what? for what purpose? being obsessed with virginity in romance is just annoying. a messy girl boss like Penelope should be allowed to make romantic mistakes too lol.

I've bizarrely seen people try to say that you don't support the romance if you support Penelope having sexual agency and having any encounters with anyone but Colin (during the period where he's claiming to have no interest in her?) And I don't understand how wanting parity or equality in a relationship means not supporting it.

Wanting Penelope to try to move on and give feelings for another man (or woman - hello toxic yuri Peloise 👀) a real shot is not anti-Colin like that is such a juvenile mindset. Tbh I also somewhat don't want this to happen because I think it risks engendering unnecessary in-show drama and I'm very uninterested in seeing it on my screen but I also don't care. nobody should care 😔 it's about the execution of sex or kissing or whatever scenes and how they relate to the story that make them good or bad - not just whether or not they happen & you happen to ship the couple at the time

#colin bridgerton #penelope featherington #apparently she is my white girl Wednesday #polin #bridgerton #I'm glad i dont really do fandom anymore because people really get mad about so many non issues #whether or not a fan wants pen to eat some veg sausage has nothing to do with being a ''real'' fan of the main couple polin will be fine 😂
