Reading Hilda Furacão, the novel (I'll post my general impressions here once I'm done), and confirming an impression I had about the show and the general opinion of those who watched it, particularly non-Brazilians who are not used to our way of doing telenovelas. Basically, the consensus (?) that the story should focus more on Hilda and Malthus and even ignore some of the other storylines is based on a misconception surrounding what the story is actually about. Drummond's novel, as well as Perez's screenplays, is not about a forbidden romance, though the romance is part of the story, but a chronicle of a city - maybe even a whole state - during a certain period of time. The title is Hilda Furacão because her character is central to that city and that time, she kind of embodies the zeitgeist if you will, but she's not exactly a protagonist, but simply another player in an immense group of people that embody a clash of ideologies, a certain sense of religiousness, an obliviousness to what's to come. In that sense, she and Malthus are, in the end, as important as Roberto or Dorinha or Loló Ventura or even fucking Tunico Mendes, and it makes sense for the plot to not focus so much on them. Of course, whether you like it or not is another matter entirely, but this is not a bug, it's a feature.

Took some inspiration from the classic Nosferatu posters and decided to try something different today, giving the high-contrast comic style another shot 🙏

READ THE ENTIRE SHORT STORY
Here is the hard truth, which no one else has the heart to tell you.
HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 1.02 "The Rogue Prince"
saw the funger version and made this
Direct From With Dena Takruri, Ahed Tamimi Freed From Israeli Prison (Part 2)
I highly recommend you watch Part 1, as well.
the nazi israeli army must be stopped like actually its insane this has gone on for this long
goodnight :)
In less than two months it will be October 7th again.
In less than two months, it will be a year of genocide.
In light of this, I just have only one request for you; please do not give into whatever you are describing as “compassion fatigue” right now.
Realize that this is exactly what the colonizers conducting this genocide want you to feel. Realize that apathy during a genocide is what leads to the normalization of atrocities. Realize that this is a tried and tested method found throughout history; that now when the genocide is been widely documented by Gazans themselves- the only way the colonizers can get away with it is by running you down and making you feel hopeless!
They want you to stop caring about their victims and this is why you need to fight harder now more than ever!!
I request you to fight harder for every Gazan! And therefore request you to fight for my friend Siraj Abudayeh too, whose family recently faced another assault. His parents and siblings had to flee to him for protection, because their areas ( Hamad, southern Khan Younis) were marked for assault from occupation forces. With the number of people depending on him increased now, Siraj has a much heavier responsibility on his shoulders to raise enough funds to support all of them and their needs, when prices of food water and other essentials are already skyrocketing.
With the coming of the rainy season, there comes the danger of epidemics spreading from open sewers as well! Siraj’s son Amir has already fallen ill, and his other two sons are showing symptoms too- they are in dire need of medical treatment! I cannot overstate how badly Siraj and his family need these funds!! How badly he needs your continuous support.
There has been a significant drop in engagement with fundraising posts and I very clearly remember, someone tagging one of my posts with compassion fatigue. It shocked me to my core to think that the cries of Free Palestine could fade so suddenly; that after only a year some of you have begun to feel fatigued, from having to care about this.
Do not give in please; do not let the colonizers make you complicit in this horror! They know that if they can overwhelm you enough, then one day the videos and posts would stop hitting as hard and sooner or later everyone will stop talking about Palestine. This cannot happen again! Not when your attention can literally save a life! This is the power you hold- especially if you are living in the Imperial core. The colonizers are afraid of it. You have to know this and believe this!
So please do not turn away and help Siraj get to 50k as soon as possible!
He is currently only at $45,044 / $82,000 CAD

And if you are having trouble donating to Siraj's fundraiser through Paypal, please get in touch with @malcriada .
As my family endures the challenges of living in the midst of the Gaza war, I kindly ask for your support and solidarity during these turbulent times. Your understanding and empathy provide a beacon of hope amidst the darkness of conflict, and your support is a source of strength in our daily struggle for basic needs such as clean drinking water.
Your words of encouragement and gestures of solidarity will not go unnoticed and are deeply appreciated. Together, may we foster a future where peace and compassion prevail.
With sincere gratitude,
[Amna Merwan]

URGENT: Get Shaima to 80k BY SUNDAY
i will make a more detailed post about this tomorrow but when it boils down to it i need you all to know this: time is running dangerously low for Shaima and Muhammad's families to evacuate.
yesterday 1am the kids were woken up by deafening explosions extremely close to al-Mawasi—another iof targeted airstrike aiming for refugee camps. the family was forced to flee without any of their possessions. they are now officially tentless.
to make matters worse, Hala agency contacted Wafaa to tell her that she needs to have the full campaign amount ready by August 18 if she wants her family to be registered for evacuation together. We still have about 28k left to raise.
we have less than SEVEN DAYS in order to help this tentless and starving family evacuate. they have been displaced more than 10 times now, and the kids are sleeping exposed on the sidewalks of Khan Younis. I opened Al-Jazeera literally 15 minutes ago and the iof is bombing Khan Younis AS WE SPEAK. Please. I don't know how else to urge you to donate, the lives of 10 children and their parents literally are in your hands.
The last donations made were from more than half an hour ago. Please do all that you can to save these children from constant siege and bombings. Please save a new mother from contracting potentially deadly postpartum infections. Please help rekindle hope for Wafaa to reunite with her beloved family.
Currently $51,924 raised of $80,000 goal as of August 11 end of day, we need to raise the remaining $28,076 in the next seven days. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can save a family.
Two raffles being held simultaneously by me, winners will both be announced at the start of September (this deadline was set before I knew about Hala agency's stipulations. we still need this campaign to be completed THIS WEEK). please donate what you can and enter one of the two raffles: a crocheted Magikarp plush or a custom screen-print tote bag.
To any Europeans reading, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family.
It's for @bilal-salah0, a 22 year old Palestinian refugee who, while trying to raise funds for his family in Gaza, is facing the possibility of an imminent deportation from Germany. It might happen as early as next week, which is why his fundraiser is so urgent.
I of course encourage everyone who can to share and donate, but I especially think us Europeans, with the current and terrifying uptick in anti-immigration rhetoric and violence, have an extra responsibility of helping Bilal.
For more information on Bilal's current situation, please read this post from one of his friends.
actually fucking insane that the moment posts about mohammad and shaima's fundraiser turned their focus on the boys of their family still stuck in khan younis, donations slowed down so drastically. it just goes to show that people truly don't care for arab men, because to them arab men are not worth the same care and effort as women and children. and that really hurts me bc i can't even stand to think of my uncles, my cousins, my dad in the situation so many palestinian men have found themselves in - let alone teenage palestinian boys. please donate what you can and help spread this. arab men deserve your sympathy as much as anyone else.
i can't get this tweet out of my head
i hate olympics cuz i’m the strongest and fastest but i’m too shy to show anybody
i think rice with things on it & also some sort of sauce is like basically the best food genre tbh
the thing about brasilian ppl is that we love heavily and deeply, our language is one of poetry and song. we are masters of metaphor and lyricism in a way. that being said most of us do need mood stabilizers.
laurae, a small Native farmer who built up her farm over the last five years, was served a 90-day eviction notice despite being promised by the landowner that she would be given a purchase agreement and the farm would never be sold to another person. Everything she has is in this farm - she’s put thousands of hours of work into it, built her cabin by hand, and invested every penny she’s made back into it. we are fighting to help her get the money to purchase her land before someone else buys it and kicks her - and us, her tenants who had no access to land without her help - off.
she ships her jams & honey, which you can buy here
you can also donate directly to the gofundme here
I know we’re all hurting right now and the world is fucked. but I love laurae and she’s done so much for all the people in her life. She has nowhere to go, no other options for a home, and no means to start over. she is a veteran, a survivor of multiple cancers, and close to fifty. all she wants is to live out her days on her farm till she hands it off to the next generation of farmers and I don’t want to see that simple thing taken away from her.
