Call for help from Gazan people

Trying to help family trapped in Gaza for 10 months

Hello everyone, and hope you read my story.

I’m Mohammed Shamia, a fourth year student of laboratory medicine.

I’m trying to get funds for my family of 9 members

With the beginning of the donation campaign, I was the first individual from my family escape to Egypt after 200 days, so I could help my family to get out of Gaza.

Unfortunately, the crossing close and my family still in Gaza

My family lost everything, our house and my brother's house, we lost our happy lives

Now my family lives in difficult conditions in Gaza and fear between plastic walls that do not protect from the summer heat or the cold of winter

This is how my family struggles daily to obtain the most basic rights

We urgently appeal to your moral and financial assistance to help me reach the goal in order to secure the life of my family,and the beginning of a new life. Every help or donation through you makes a big difference. Do not underestimate how the difference is for someone who needs your support

1:05 am thoughts that will probably be ignored because I'm never here but I just need to get it off my chest.

Whenever I stumble on a video about fandoms and shipping, I often see the "The ____ fandom doesn't need shipping! You can't shipp the characters because of the theme of it!" And I just laugh (dry, yellow) because that's like, so stupid to me?

Okay, the media doesn't focuses on romance, yeah, it might be dark (super dark even) but shipping is much more that just being: "I think I and R should make out and have nasty sex!" It's also giving a whole new depth for the relationship between the characters, creating scenarios to grow even more attached to them, give a new light, maybe an explanation to why you think they are like this in the media they are from, it's stimulating, it's fun and harmless.

I find it crazy how we went from shipping characters that had the same vibe/power/personalities coming from various shows to being firmly against it, and attacking people because they have harmless fun.

Like I said, shipping isn't only "I think I and R should kiss and have intensive sex" It's also "C and J have this bond they can't get rid of, they don't really try to, it's tearing them apart, bringing them closer, causing them to fight, cut and yell, and then hold, and sometimes, it is romantic, other times, it's pure manipulation, a need to keep the other, play pretend until the knife is red again and arms are wrapped around the other with a promise for a change, the other knowing it will never happen, but staying anyway because they want to."

And sometimes, shipping is: "L and L need each other, they could do fine in their life without them, but now that they are here, they'll do everything to make them stay, treat them like a treasure, make them feel seen, cared about. It'll be arms wrapped around each other, exchanging words, stories, pieces from the past they get to make a puzzle on to see the person they're holding in their arms really, the beauty and the ugly."

And yeah, sometimes you just want both your favorite characters to bang the hell out of each other because hey, sex's fun! (probably, idk).

Finally, if the media is dark or we are hitting a rough patch, you cannot be mad at people wanting to seek out happy and silly moments between the characters. Shipping is always welcome to give the happy vibe the media lacks.

That's it. Bye.

I did something.

I have an idea for a long time, and I want to start it.

How do you know you're human?

Humanity isn't just a word we repeat; it's a collection of actions and feelings that define how we interact with others and how we view the world. But how do you truly know if you're human? Is it the daily actions you take? Or is it the way you feel about the suffering of others?

As we reflect on these questions, @mohammedalanqar family's going through difficult circumstances due to the destruction of their home in Gaza.They're in urgent need of your support to help then regain hope and rebuild them lives

sometimes i just marvel at letterboxd reviews of beyond evil

I watched a few movie reviews on Nezha 2 and one of them on two white guys (iirc) doing a podcast on their surface thoughts on the movie kinda threw me off as one of them said 'one thing that was off-putting to me was a lot of onscreen crying' or something like that. Which is super off-putting to me actually.

I mean what do you mean? Your little brother or mother or wife just died in front of your eyes what do you mean you should not cry and it's not a natural response? Ao Bing cried into his dad at the start as he felt so awful for letting his dad down and his buddy nearly died if he didn't intervene. Ne Zha cried so hard when he saw his parents again because he really thought they were gone. Both kids are three years old for the love of God. And Shen Gong Bao is a literal family man he has a soft spot for his little brother of course when he died trying to escape he had to cry so much and to be honest, I've watched videos of how the animation team spent a long time animating and planning the crying scene for him to ensure it's perfect. The creative team has spent so long to ensure every detail to actually ensure the whole story and every shot and scene will have a lasting emotional impact to touch the audience.

And another thing that's also respectable is how the team and the story in general is very committed to fleshing out the characters and ensuring they are all very relevant to the plot and have their own personal stories in a sequel, which is not often seen nowadays given how hard it is to make a better sequel (but that's another story and post I digress, but anyway-)

What I'm trying to say is that we all need more stories of boys openly crying. The only other movies off the top of my head I can think that has boys openly crying are maybe Coco, or Luca and maybe HTTYD, and I feel Nezha 2 has done a great job in showing the different sides of healthy masculinity, in how it's okay for boys to ugly cry and for dads to be tough on the exterior while also being very caring and gentle to their own sons, and for close brotherhood bonds being a soft side of characters. And it also dispels a stereotype in how Asians are often stoic and not as emotional as westerners, as while a lot of Chinese and Asians are quite stoic, there are plenty of people who see themselves in Ao Bing and Ne Zha and etc.

And I also saw a post earlier on how Ne Zha and Ao Bing defy societal rules and societal expectations respectively, with Ao Bing doing so by being outwardly feminine in looks and being elegant while precise and aggressive in his attacks and still being able to be confident in his self, while Ne Zha has been insecure in his own looks until the end. And personally I feel the movie is a great place for kids and boys especially to learn that masculinity can be anything they can define, like how one can be more confident like Ao Bing even when he's not traditionally masculine, while knowing it's okay to be insecure and that they can overcome judgements in society.

And with their friendship and loyalty to each other (and possibly *cough* *gay* *it's ok if you don't ship them*), it also teaches boys that male friendships can be very close knit where they can be vulnerable to one another, like how Nezha soon learnt to be vulnerable around Ao Bing and how Ao Bing learnt to follow his heart through Ne Zha's influence. Boys can learn from one another and become emotionally stronger together like it's not just a girls thing yay-

So yeah this is another long ramble but tldr again:

Nezha 2 is a fantastic movie on healthy masculinity and we need more movies like this for boys especially to learn that expressing strong emotions are very healthy and essential in being a person. And we need to punch toxic masculinity to death the way Lu Tong and He Tong did at the end to the bald bitch so-
