hi, i just want to say thank you ig for donating your patreon earnings to palestine...im in a place where supporting palestine is easy and in fact my workplace just did fundraising for palestine but i just realized its not like that everywhere. i saw the twitter thread of people losing their job for even just speaking about palestine so again i just want to say thank you...it just make me feel the world is less lonely

yeah....I know the news (or lack of it) coming out of palestine lately has been pretty unbearable, but the palestinian people haven't given up, and neither can the rest of the world - I'm not in a position where I can afford to participate in direct action, but I do have income and if I can provide an intermediary for people who are worried about reprisals from financial donations that's something I'm happy to do.

obviously, I'm not an expert or a spokesperson, but I do think public opinion is changing fast and the people in power are realising that; the UN already called for a truce today, and while it's not a resolution, it's a sign that international pressure is building against israel (and the US and the UK and other complicit governments) - the palestinian people deserve safety and freedom, globally and on their own land, and we cannot demand anything less.

what's happening is horrifying, and the response from people in power in the west has been unforgivable - politicians, institutions, and corporations all have blood on their hands, as far as i'm concerned, but the people on the ground do care, and are finding ways to show it. you're not alone, and there's more work to be done.

#good on your work!! I'm glad to know some there are places like that #I hope this makes sense sorry for the stream of consciousness #but yeah it's. it's awful and unbearable even hearing about it. but it is not the end and it is not for us to decide when that will be #if Israel are forced to open a humanitarian passage into gaza those organisations are going to need all the resources they can get #and that's something I can help with in my own small way #just like you and your work #and the people attending protests and sharing tweets and resources and stories #and the people shutting down arms factories in the UK and the US #you are not alone and neither are the palestinian people. even if it feels like it #anon

also isnt it kinda crazy how even thought kabru hates monsters and killing them is his main driving force hes never once considered learning as much as he can about monsters and instead chose to learn everything about dealing with people instead? to the point where he keeps getting killed by basic monsters but can handle just about any social conflict and kill other humans with ease

#when the fatal flaw created by trauma directly influences their main goals man. #both the dungeon in utaya and having milsiril as a mother completely warped his priorities and methods of achieving his goals #its just so. interesting to think about. #like hes so focused on the bigger picture of dismantling the dungeon altogether and dealing with the dungeon lord #he cant see the steps to getting there involve being incredibly familiar with monsters bc he has too many painful memories of them #(contrast with laios having no clue what hed do with the dungeon but enjoying learning about it and monsters instead) #biggest example of top down vs bottom up processing influencing like. the entire fucking story. so cool #AND LIKE KABRU DOESNT EVEN HAVE TO LIKE MONSTERS IN THE END! HE STILL CANT DEAL WITH THEM AND ITS PERFECTLY OKAY #he can instead hone the skills he has for a humanitarian approach to dealing with the dungeon and it works so perfectly and UGH its so good #ily kabru

naruto as a whole is a fucking mess and i say thisas somebody whos read the entireseries 3 times over. “naruto is going to change the system! haha teehee never mind hes not doing anytning about the child soldiers and slave castes and the genocides.” “sasuke can be upset at his brother for committing a genocide but actually genocide against an oppressed bloodline is good if theyre getting uppity and its sanctioned by the government and also have a genetic predisposition to be evil so he should just get over it and be okay with it” “sakura needs to stop obsessing over a guy whos not even interested and become strong for her own sake. actually shes a housewife now”

kishimoto im going to blow you up with my mind

YOU GET IT

For real though I think what they did with Sasuke's arc was one of the most baffling fucking things I've ever seen. "Actually. Your brother who carried out a genocide loved you :( he only put you in the Torment Nexus for several days because uhhh he wanted you to hate him and not find out about the government who ordered it. Everything he ever did was actually to protect you. And Uchihas are actually kinda rotten anyway so it's good an entire GROUP OF PEOPLE died. Don't think about any babies or children who were also slaughtered btw uhh nope all of them were bad."

Sasuke: "Yes I understand. I will now rule the world through fear. Actually nvm Naruto won our fight so, my philosophy is gone now."

Thank goodness that Evil Sasuke killed the three Bad Government Officials before that point, though. We had this whole theme going about toxic structures, cycles of abuse, and how oppressive regimes can propagate themselves even when a leader is well-meaning... but, like, Naruto REALLY wants to be Hokage, so actually if you just kill these Three Bad Governors it's gonna be fine.

There is no need for systemic change. Slave castes and child soldiers are fine. It's ok as long as the president is blonde :)

#It also bothers me unreasonably. And HAS bothered me since I was like 15. That in the final-- #--scene where sasuke finally lets Naruto Into His Heart he goes off about how they were both just Lonely Children Looking for Love #Like... no!! No actually! Sasuke's WHOLE THING was that EVERYONE was praising him as a prodigy #But that he was pushing away everyone around him because his brother put him in the fucjing torment nexus #It would have been more appropriate to talk about how THEYVE BOTH BEEN MADE INTO WEAPONS #For Naruto to realize (now that he is Useful to his war-obsessed society) that Sasuke was also undergoing a sort of dehumanization #It should be through THEIR GROWTH AS PEOPLE that they finally have a deeper understanding of each other #THEY DID NOT HAVE A COMMON ORIGIN #THATS THE POINT. THEY BECAME FRIENDS IN SPITE OF IT #iM FLIPPING TABLES #They had the opposite problem as each other but through self-imposed ostracization and proving one's 'worth' *NOW* THEY GET IT #But we cant do that bc you'd have to admit that Sasuke hada fucking point and wasnt just wrong the whole time #And that this system is ROTTEN and that Naruto shouldn't become Hokage but DESTROY THE POSITION #because dictators choosing dictators IS BAD. #They should have changed the government to democracy and then Sakura wins the first free election #Because she's actually deeply connected with the people of the fire nation especially outside of the capital city #For like her humanitarian work during the timeskip #And for being the disciple of Tsunade who was a respected leader #And then have a cute moment where Naruto and her banter about it. That she fulfilled HIS dream lmaoo #And also let the three of them be friends im beggign OTL #She gets over her crush on him and theyre just friends #Animeposting #I shouldn't have mentioned sakura now im yelling about naruto on the cat blog

a previous mutual of mine: 'I can grieve jewish life while also not being an imperialist, you're antisemitic for suggesting i'm pro-genocide for centering jewish lives and not wanting to talk about palestinians at this time! you're holding too much standards for a grieving people!'

same mutual: *unfollows me for posting donation links for palestinian children and hospitals and absolutely nothing against jewish people*

if you're only grieving jewish deaths — please ask yourself why some lives are more grievable than others.

#you're worse than the avidly pro-israel crowd bc you're disguising your genocidal political thought as grief and humanitarian concern #y'all are really truly showing your true colors #the [white] jewish diaspora in the US has a HUGE problem of conflating their religion with a settler-colonial political ideology #it's actually really depressing to watch from a distance; i could not imagine doing that with my own religion #and its sad because there are so many anti-zionist jews working hard in both combating antisemitism AND anti-muslim racism / colonialism #yet you're still stuck in your racist colonial bubble when people within your community are reaching out to you to change #do better #also i blocked her so — i win bitch lol #palestine

I hateee how specific so many jobs have become

#I want to be in many lines of work meddling!! I’m a renaissance woman!! I cannae focus on one specific line of work long enough to be #qualified for the hyper specific fields they create!! give me the ability to have a finger in every department at once! #I’m trying to find a humanitarian or government organization that will let me just be sort of free! #I can’t choose!

@raindovemodel together with a team is doing grass root work helping displaced Gazan Palestinians.

They're an activist I've admired for a long time. They’re not active here, but you can find them on instagram where they’re actively documenting the work they’re currently doing.

Consider sharing this around to help innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. 🕊️

you know i think it readily becomes apparent where the creators of re movies’ loyalties lie where you realize that really the only organization that our heroes work for that gets routinely criticized…is the human rights organization

like in degeneration, they pin the blame for the terrorist attack and lack of resources to put it out on terrasave acting on the knowledge they had at the time to try and stop big evil pharma, and although they end up being right, the blame falls entirely on claire/terrasave and claire spends a good amount of time believing it, even saying “it’s all our fault” and when leon comforts her, he says what she does is noble but the creators also have to slip in “well leon and chris, they’re fighters, they’re cool guys. but uh feel bad for claire i guess” then in infinite darkness we barely even see her doing terrasave work, just at the beginning, then she researches the mad dogs and finds the suicide, then she gets kidnapped, then the climax. like claire really has NO bearing on the actual PLOT going on except for exposition, meanwhile all the stuff we WANNA watch goes to cool government agent man. then in fucking death island, the one time i thought the movie was GOING to actually criticize the institutions these guys work for, who’s organization gets shit on the most by other characters and even called terrorists between the government, a private military, and a human rights ngo? go ahead. guess.

its actually kinda crazy you sent this because i was just thinking about it while i rewatched death island.

like, i literally was thinking about how messed up it is that an organization that works completely independently from a government, that gets its funding through things like donations, grants, and membership dues, that has to meet legal requirements to get registers to administer aid, that has hundreds, maybe even thousands of employees across the globe, is so heavily criticized in a series where the government literally nuked a city and covered it up to save a huge corporation's ass

and like idk, how realistic is it for terrasave to even get away with all this stuff? i'm not saying it can't happen, but so far terrasave has been called out for so much, like starting outbreaks, members secretly working with terrorist orgs, and other vague bad stuff the series won't go into detail on. i feel like if an anti-terrorist ngo was always in trouble for doing terrorism, they wouldn't be able to work. especially since governments will sometimes try to limit their power and diminish the aid they can give out.

and consider this: the BSAA works with the united nations. you know who else works with the united nations? ngos. granted, they're different since terrasave is a humanitarian group and the bsaa is a paramilitary agency, but considering the point is to combat bioterrorism, the difference between how they're treated in the games is ridiculous. i know now the bsaa is corrupt as of re village (i think), terrasave has been called corrupt since the moment it was shown.

i feel like if they wanted to go through with the "corrupt ngo" route they could do something more along the lines of terrasave destabilizing the communities it works in or maybe the people within it take bribes or don't use the money for its intended purpose. but yeah the way capcom goes "look at how UNRELIABLE these humanitarian groups are! the only ones who can save them are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and SOLDIERS and COOL PEOPLE" like gtfo

#ask #resizura rants #honestly i get confused with terrasave because one second capcom will be all #'look at how sweet claire is for working with a humanitarian group' #and then in the next breath #'look at the most corrupt people on the planet working with terrorists and committing terrorism and hurting its own employees despite being #a humanitarian group!' #like pls pick one?? #god leon willingly WITHOLDS INFORMATION about the SECRETARY OF DEFENSE wanting to start a war #but claire's the bad guy here? ok

I kinda want to figure out how to apply my usual "take the really dark and dehumanizing thing and make it compassionate instead" thing to the mech-pilots-as-replaceable-machines thing that I've seen going around, but even if I did I don't think I could get around my writer's block to actually write it 😩

#tesserants #something about a pilot from a fascist regime captured and rehabilitated by a socialist one? and set to work piliting mecha for like #humanitarian projects? #idk

Most of the i/p related posts ive reblogged are very much aimed at international audiences (which unfortunately means its mostly usa centered. Like half of the posts I see israel are talking about the us. For some reason) but despite being considered by some a Nich Internet Microcelebrity me just posting stuff on tumblr isnt doing much so I am starting to look into activist groups within here because after everything that have happened I can not imagine my future not at least somewhat involving taking part of activism

#After a conversation with an arab woman that works in the kindergarten I volenteered at over summer I already been messing around with the #idea of going like. working in a kindergarten in an arab area #we were talking about languages and she explained that she learned hebrew by going to work in a kindergarten in a jewish area #and Im in an arabic class in school and want to learn the language #and Ive always wanted to be involved in a humanitarian cause #so honestly. its not much of a change. its more of being more specific in what I am looking for #arabic class is kind of on a slight holt like the rest of my school because everyone from that area had to evacuate #but I might be temporerily going to school in here. where weve evacuated to #and the school were looking into is the one where my dad was in and where he learned arabic from. and he speaks very fluenetly #I really hope I get into it. Were missing so much school and the little we do over zoom is very hard for me cause I cant study over zoom #and most schools are working again so we wont be taken into acount and itll be like it was after covid lockdown. which still non of us have #properly recocered from #so I really want to be able to actually go to school. even if its with people i dont know in an enviroment im not familiar with
