What you can do for the people of Palestine

The genocide going on in Palestine feels so massive that it's hard to imagine how any one person can help unless they have major political, social, or economic sway. But there are things that you can do:

One of the easiest things to do is to keep watching - to reblog posts and to comment. It feels small, but the Palestinians have been oppressed for decades now, and keeping them at the forefront of our minds is crucial. On platforms like TikTok, some creators are giving all the money generated by their posts to various Palestinian families, so by interacting as much as possible you can help to send aid to the people of Palestine even if you can't afford to give money.

Reaching out to your representative by phone, email, or even letter is also a helpful thing to do, as it lets them know that their constituents are watching their actions closely during this time.

There are likely local initiatives near you, especially if you live an a more progressive area: check the Students 4 Gaza site, for example, to see if there's an encampment near you. Active participation in protesting is, of course, encouraged, but there are other ways to support these groups too. For example, donating to the encampments some of the items on the list below:

Blankets, lawn chairs, tents

Water/energy drinks/electrolyte packages

Paper plates/utensils

Snacks - ideally non-perishable, (although things like popsicles and ice cream are appreciated in the heat) kosher, and halal.

Of course, check in with whatever group is near you to see what they need before you head to a store.

I know all these things are minor, but if nothing else, it lets the people in Gaza know that they are not being ignored, that they are supported.

New hope. From Gaza to university students on the other side of the world: We watch you with pride. Please keep going

Elisabeth de Caraman-Chimay, Comtesse Greffulhe (1860–1952) made this dress famous by posing in it for the photographer Nadar in 1896. The museum also possesses the photographs made at the time, in which the elegant countess opted for being photographed in back view so as to highlight the slimness of her waist: this close-fitting 'princess line' dress – there were no seams at waist level – and the sinuous lines of the lily plants accentuate the impression of tallness and slenderness.

One of the leading figures on the Paris social scene – not only for her rank and sovereign elegance, but also for her culture and intelligence – Comtesse Greffulhe was a significant source of inspiration for Marcel Proust, who used her as the model for the Duchesse de Guermantes in Remembrance of Things Past. She was also the cousin of Robert de Montesquiou, who drew on her for some of his poems, including a sonnet whose closing line Beau lis qui regardez avec vos pistils noirs ('Beautiful lilies gazing with your black pistils') doubtless refers to this dress. The bertha collar, whose original form was altered, certainly during its owner's lifetime, could be turned up to form bat's wings; a bat being Montesquiou's emblematic animal, making this a true dress-poem.

Just to clarify: I'm aware that not everyone is shipping everything. My tags were listing examples of platonic interactions and pairings that I've seen people directly refer to shipping as sexual/romantic. I obviously don't think that the Figgug shipper and the Sklonda Lynn shipper diagram is a circle.

Dimension 20 fandom has some of the most feral shipping culture I've ever experienced. I'm starting to think y'all are fully incapable of perceiving platonic relationships

#I just think it's weird that anytime two characters are shown to care about one another at all #there will always be a subgroup that thinks they should kiss about it #we've been talking about this shit on Tumblr since the dawn of time so I'll keep this short #the way romantic relationships are presented by shipping culture can often imply that platonic friendships are lesser #and that two characters being just friends (or not getting along!) is in someway incomplete #the minutiae of which ships that applies to weren't the core of my argument at all #though there is something in there about the way queer characters are constantly bicycled around that feels very “slutty bisexuals” trope
