I actually saw this a while ago but was trying to do research to update myself on the situation in Gaza before RBing bc I wanted to add the link for the ceasefire petition but didn’t know if it’s still relevant. The fruits of my labor are under the cut, I won’t include anything graphic but it is still abt what’s happening in Gaza so I understand if it’s too much for some ppl rn.
Don’t let your own mental state get in the way of helping ppl tho!
& you don’t need to let your financial situation get in the way either! This link I’m RBing & the petition I’m adding need no money for you to contribute!
What I’ve learned:
A ceasefire has been called but it was a temporary one for Ramadan
Israel didn’t like it & altho I can’t tell if they ceased fire I do know they acted uncooperatively, denying 30% of humanitarian aid from reaching Gaza in at least one instance & cancelling a trip to Washington that was meant to take place after the vote
Ramadan is now over along w/ the temporary ceasefire
On the 20th (the most recent date of the sources I checked) there were reports abt a recent attack which at the time had a confirmed death toll of 9 ppl (at least 6 of which were children). These numbers have since been confirmed higher & the attack was on residential buildings
The demand for a permanent Ceasefire is still necessary. Israel may not comply but further action will not be possible until then. If you haven’t signed the petition yet pls do now
here. take it. it doesn't take more than two seconds to help.
I wish the world worked like it did in the stardew valley universe. If I'm strapped for cash I should be able to go grab some blackberries off the nearest roadside bush and go sell them to a grocery store for a quick ten bucks. I should be able to think "huh I wanna go talk to the wizard today" and then I go talk to the wizard in his wizard tower
this one liberal dude on twitter made the (correct) take that parents have overwhelming power over their kids and very often abuse it and restrict children's rights and he was ratio'd by conservatives, communists and liberals alike who made comments like "my kids will have rights when they pay the bills" to "aw are you upset mom and dad didn't you get you a lega set for christmas". way to prove his point lol! any criticism of the power dynamics adults and particularly parents have over kids and how it is often used to abuse kids or refuse to let them exist as themselves is drowned in mockery and the idea that parents have absolute authority over children and that any less than that is actually spoiling them.
i said it before: people only care about Children as an ideal. as property. as something that is Innocent and deserving protection From Evil Traffickers but also something Dumb that barely deserves the status of human with autonomy. and its fucking wild how even the staunchest communists think of this as normal, and how people refuse to understand that this dynamic is how kids are emotionally, physically and sexually abused, as well as robbed of their voices and too scared/ashamed to talk about it.
Some doodles I drew base on the fact that MM Donnie wearing a JoJo hoodie in the movie.
I was quite obsessed with JJBA before I watched the ROTTMNT.So when I saw the weird fancy jojo satin jacket,I thought that 'MM Donnie must have one as his own purple satin jacket!!!'immediately.
And here is the jacket Donnie wearing,if anyone wants to know.:3
