i think its so funny that alumni from schools like harvard and columbia that were there during the protests in the 60s-80s are expressing support for students currently protesting against the genocide in palestine, and random zionists that were NOT at these protests in the 60s-80s have the never ending audacity to tell these alumni "well thats different, what you protested was good and what they're protesting is bad." as if protesters against the vietnam war and apartheid south africa were not also demonized, arrested, brutalized, and even killed for their activism. history only remembers them fondly after the damage has already been done.
Sometimes I see a respected mutual in my notes and remember they follow me and I'm like. Should I apologize for what I'm doing here. But they did choose to be in my house
Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.
I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.
These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.
I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.
My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 馃嚨馃嚫鉂わ笍
"If only there were characters that weren't white men who were more INTERESTING, maybe then we'd be more fannish about them!"
First of all, I've seen fandoms built around white male characters/ships with little to no screentime and one-dimensional archetypes, so jot THAT down.
And secondly, I can guaran-fucking-tee you that the standards by which you define "interesting" marginalized characters are not only a double standard that you don't hold white male characters up to, but that if you actually defined "interesting" with concrete descriptors, we could find marginalized characters that fit that bill but whom fandom has demonized/dismissed/erased for exactly those traits.
Palestinians aren鈥檛 micro-celebrities, by the way. They aren鈥檛 Brad Pitt or Beyonc茅 or any other celebrity you routinely follow the daily lives of; they鈥檙e regular people who鈥檙e going through something unimaginable, who鈥檙e barely able to grieve the deaths of their families because they鈥檙e too busy spoon-feeding y鈥檃ll information you couldn鈥檛 be assed to research yourselves.
Saying you鈥檙e a fan of someone who mainly posts about the deaths of their friends, families, and loved ones just confirms how you guys see the plight of black and brown people as entertainment to cheer on. It鈥檚 disgusting, have some fucking shame and humility.
I think it's a sign of good media when you have to reread or rewatch it to get the full experience. First time is for getting your brain blasted by the story and being confused second time is for knowing who's who and what's what and willingly getting your brain blasted again.
wanting to talk to people is so fucking embarrassing. literally hi it's me again I wanted to have a conversation with you because I think you're fun to talk to. oh god you can just fucking kill me if you want sorry
