i cannot emphasize enough how important it is to feel sick and disgusted and angry and sad whenever you see what is happening to Palestinians. it means you are not desensitized to the atrocities and violence Israel is doing to them, and that is absolutely crucial. they are not numbers, they are people who are as deserving of happiness as anyone else. i know that for some people, their first instinct is to look away but Palestine deserves to have their voices heard even if what they’re telling you is uncomfortable.
As a rule of thumb, don’t reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they’ve been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It’s disgusting this is what we’re dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don’t just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
I’m also gonna stop listing the reasons why I recognize something is a scam. It’s becoming more and more clear there is 1 person behind this STRING of scams and they’re leaving less trails behind but it still reeks of them and their MO.
DO NOT TRUST ANY GOFUNDME OR REQUEST FOR CROWDFUNDING THAT PALESTINIAN BLOGGERS HAVEN’T VERIFIED.
At this point I’m fine receiving a bunch of inbox messages asking me to vet x y z so y'all can avoid this shit. But please have some critical thinking!
People are exploiting our situation.
Reblog this post.
Whether you wanna read the whole thing or not idc.
REBLOG IT.
The person this was about deleted the 4th or 5th scam account they made and are definitely gonna make a new one soon. I don’t want anybody falling for this anymore.
I’m sad, I have rebloged lots of gofundmes and I didn’t know if they were real or not, I’m sorry i didn’t mean any harm
it’s very disheartening to see that Palestine or Gaza is no longer the highest trending tag on Tumblr so early on in Global Strike week, especially considering how many people have said they still need to work and buy food (100% valid, by the way). don’t lose momentum. keep talking about what’s happening. keep reblogging and sharing useful resources and information. we need the Palestinian people to know that we see what’s happening to them, we care about what’s happening to them and we stand with them. Percy Jackson and Tumblr Live are no where near as important as the genocide of Palestinian people.
This year marks the first Ramadan without the Jenin camp msaharatis
The martyr, Abu Ali Al-Sabah.
The martyr, Mahmoud Al-Saadi.
And the prisoner, Mounir Salama.
A msaharatiis the person responsible for roaming the streets while drumming and chanting in order towake people for their pre-fast meal during Ramadan before the break of dawn.
The specific chants being done in this video translate to
“Oh mother of the martyr, your son didn’t die, he is missing from the world, but he’s living a better life [presumably in heaven], oh mother of the martyr.”
“Oh mother of the martyr, oh mother, hold me close to your chest, hold me. Hold me close to your chest, hold me. Tomorrow, we’ll meet again, mother (yumma), in God’s heaven”
You know people don’t love the idealized version of you that’s in your head, but the tangible you that they can see and feel with their eyes and hands and ears, the one with all the insecurities and things you don’t love about yourself, the people love that person.
this ramadan we pray for peace and aid for the people of palestine. this ramadan we remember the previous ramadans, where thousands of palestinians were massacred. this ramadan we honour palestine, and may we see a free palestine next ramadan
Palestinians in Israeli prisons, and that includes men, women, and children, are subjected to torture, sexual violence, threats of rape and killing their loved ones, and they get KILLED. The “only democracy in the Middle East” is nothing but a colonial and imperial power that torments and kills the innocent. Keep talking about Palestine!
I'm not sure if you ever got this question (i think when i last checked you didn't) but what are your thoughts on fanfiction of your work? On Good Omens, for example, Michael Sheen has said sometimes that he oftenly sees it and even reads himself, David however, prefers not to go over them. What do you think about them? Have you ever read them?
gay people will romanticize anything. fossilization is an act of love. the earth holds the child that returned to her so tight in hopes that she never has to let go. eventually you’ll fall away from her grasp no matter what, but at least you can leave behind an impression that she’ll hold onto forever. fuck. hold on bad example. gimme a minute. fuck.
Mirna El Helbawi just put out an update — right now the Gaza Esims email only has 500 esims left when they send out more than 3,000 esims daily. If you have not yet sent an E-sim, now is the time to do so.
ive been seeing a new wave of transmedicalists lately I think we gotta start being vocal again about how nasty they are. you don’t need to take hormones or have surgery to be a trans person. changing your name and pronouns is gender affirming care. wearing new clothes and hair and makeup is part of transitioning too. you dont need to pass to be trans, you don’t need to be male or female.
nonbinary, agender, genderfluid, genderqueer people are trans too if that’s a label they want to use for themselves. and anyone who says otherwise is a piece of shit. it’s not “anti-transitioning” to say so, it’s anti-telling other people what to do with their bodies. it’s pro-minding your own fucking business and letting people do what they want with their gender and treating them with compassion and enthusiasm
I genuinely believe that the transmedicalist mindset comes from a deep place of insecurity and internalized transphobia, these people hate being trans so much that they get so irritated seeing other people who choose to not comply with the strict gender binary. they think they’re experts because they’re trans themselves but they don’t understand that they have no authority to tell anyone else what they need to do with their bodies. they want to be cis so bad they just parrot transphobic talking points and bully anyone who doesn’t fit in. and it’s sad because they’re trying to cope with the transphobia they face but it’s in such a harmful and maladaptive way that just harms other trans people.
I’ve been here for fourteen years, do you think I remember? I don’t know who any of these people are anymore. I don’t know why they’re on my dash. I allow them to stay because they haven’t pissed me off enough to unfollow them yet. “Why did you follow this person?” I’m not sure I ever did. They’re just part of my ecosystem now.

Lets do a little group children’s story together, it’ll be like a cool collab, I’ll go first: Once upon a time there was a little worm who lived in a biiig apple, his name was Stephenson and he had anxiety (aww)
I eat him
What the fuck
what the fuck
have you not eaten a worm? freak.
I then steal and eat an entire supply of potatoes from a chain grocery store which is unrelated to Stephenson’s demise, but I’ll still do it for the side plot of this story. Teach the children to eat worms and potatoes- it’s good for your health.
I steal all your internal organs (minus your pancreas) as I enact my revenge after you stole from multiple Tesco Extras
I have no regrets
Look it was just ONE time….fifty or so one times….
I will feast upon your bones as I dine with the mothman
What a dreadfully boring meal, least you could do is pair me with some mashed potatoes. Don’t fuck up my death like you did this children’s story.
okay you know what fuck you
[uneats your bones and throws them into a vat of rotten heinz beins]
