I don't know if someone has already said this but... IMAGINE if katsuki bakugou from my hero academia meet Eustass Kidd from One Piece, IMAGINE THE MESS
Can someone please write a scenario with those two I beg y'all HSJSJSJSJKSSJ
What is going on in Palestine is not a war - this is genocide. Over 35,000 are dead, and over 70,000 are fatally wounded without access to basic hospital supplies like anaesthetic or painkillers. Over 10,000 children have been killed during air raids and ground operations led by the IDF - not just by starvation or illness.
If you cannot see what is going on, I am afraid your humanity is severely lacking, and you need to take it upon yourself to educate yourself.
Why should you donate?
The bottom line is, if you can’t, then don’t. But even the smallest amount helps contribute towards these families’ goals, and helps them move towards the option for evacuation or rebuilding their lives.
If you cannot donate, or don’t feel comfortable donating, share this around. Let the message spread.
All eyes on Rafah.
I have linked a few gofundme pages below, but feel free to go on the gofundme.com website if you think there are other families you have in mind that could use your help too.

Hello! As someone that dumpster dives year-round and usually finds a SHIT TON of perfectly usable items thrown away after the holidays, please listen:
Christmas is over and now comes along the weeks of people returning and exchanging unwanted gifts at retailers. A lot of these stores cannot actaully put a lot of these items back out on the shelf, (especially seasonal items or holiday themed) for one reason or another. Returned brand new items end up in landfills.
This is not only horribly wasteful when good items could be used by people in need, but also insanely bad for the enviroment.
So please consider:
Did you get insane amounts of those fluffy socks because they're like a default gift option? Donate your excess to a homeless or domestic violence saftey shelter.
Did you recieve a gift that is pretty much a jab to your identity from that estranged family member of yours that still doesn't use the correct pronouns for you? Oh, and they wont give you or 'lost' the receipt? Donate it.
Recieved those oddly named holiday themed lotions, perfumes and candles and can't stand the smell of them? These items most usually will not be put back on the shelf if returned and thrown away. Donate them. (Some charities may not accept them, some will. Check beforehand.)
Did you get one of those holiday throw blankets that are marketed just for this time of the year even though you already have several? Donate it.
I find tons of holiday themed clothing thrown away this time of year. Including ugly sweaters, hats/beanies, gloves, onesies, shoes, socks, ect. Perfectly fine items that are returned because people don't keep holiday themed stuff outside of holiday season. Regardless, they could be used by people who need warm clothing.
Electronics are not safe either. Perfectly working Items I have found in dumpsters in the past range from: a $300 roomba with the ticket saying it was returned because the customer didn't know how to work it (needed an app to control), not one but TWO tablets (Samsung and Kindle Fire) a working bluetooth speaker, ect. (Items that can not be donated I gave away.)
If you are not going to regift unwanted gifts and you are certain you are not going to use it, please consider donating it (or make a post and just give it away or sell the thing yourself.) You can go get $15 worth of store credit if you return the thing, but it's usually going straight to the trash afterwards.
Unfortunatly, stores like to try and destroy items they throw away as well. On lucky days, I find items that are still in their original package. Other times I find perfectly usuable items destroyed by spray paint or box cutters.
(ALSO this is not a post shaming people who return gifts for money to pay bills/buy food/basically survive. That is a completely different situation.)
Please research the places you donate to before doing so. Do not donate to the Salvation Army (despite them trying to do reputation control, they're still blatantly anti-LGBTQ) If you are a dumpster diver, remember to sanitize the items you find and let the organizations know where you recieved the items.
That's it. Thanks for coming to my soapbox!
Sorry to be an ugly fun-killer but in light of the recent Invasion I urge you all to be mindful of the things you reblog and the memes that you repost. Please remember that behind every "world war 3 lmao" post there is a reality where real people are going to be displaced from their homes and are going to lose their lives.
Before you laugh at that tweet that talks about the draft or whatever ask yourself: are you laughing because it's funny? or are you laughing because you're safe and comfortable in the West and it's not a direct problem for you?
what is your fav thing about joon?
how he’s super respectful and always wants to shake people’s hands even though they don’t always reciprocate, and how he refers to people as sir/maam
he once said ‘i like peace, my favourite bird is the pigeon’ but he’s an idiot and he meant dove
going off number 2, alternatingly, how he got pigeon and dove confused but calls fruitflies by their scientific name aka drosophila
how he thinks about love inclusively, not just the romantic kind but the friendship and familiar kind too
how he released mono because he wanted to be a source of comfort for all his fans and give them a hug even if he cant physically do it

how to spoke openly about going to therapy and getting help when you need it
how he speaks softly a lot of the time, and when he pauses and its almost like you can see his brain working, see him thinking and he’s completely beautiful
how his voice is low, and deep, and silky smooth, and how when i hear it its that feeling of drinking hot chocolate on a chilly day, just something so comforting
how he prefers sunset to sunrise (just like me) but how he likes being out at dawn when everyone else is asleep (again like me)
how he wrote moonchild for the people who feel most happy at night, for those who felt like ‘they can’t breathe during the day’ and how he believes the night sets him free

how he looks when he has no make up on and his hair is falling in front of his eyes and he just looks so soft and adorable
how he likes using filters on his vlive, especially the really cute ones and how i will deadass fight that fan who told him to stop using them because on god he deserves happiness in the little things and if filters make him happy then you BET he should use them
how his entire face lights up when he’s happy, and the way it scrunches when he sees things that are cute
how he’s so big and yet so gentle with everything - the way he picks up crabs, and frogs, and any small creatures - but he handles them with utmost care because he knows his strength and he would never willingly hurt any living creature
how he likes ryan from kkt and has a bunch of merch but freely admits he prefers brown from line jfsjfjsjfjd and how he has a collection of both of those as well as K.A.W.S. like he’s really just an adorable little nerd
how sometimes when he laughs he buries his face into his hand or his shoulders, and how sometimes his eyes are wide and his mouth is open and you can see his tongue
how he dressed up like an astronaut for the 2018 MAMA performance and did his little move and then fell on the ground in the most cUTEST way possible - and then his legs were all stretched out but he stayed on the ground
how he can be hella petty - like when he admitted his sister pissed him off one day and before they were going to school, it was raining, and he took all the umbrellas in the house so she’d have to walk to school in the rain
how when he was younger his dream was to be a security guard because it shows just how sweet he is and how much he wants to protect people, and how he does it every day just by being him and encouraging people to continue on even if they’re struggling
how much he loves his mother
how he gets annoyed with rap mon for not remembering who he is even thought monie is named after him
how even though he’s not a major vocalist, his husky, low-toned voice sounds so beautiful and calming

alternatively, how sometimes he just bounces in place instead of running around

how clumsy he is and how easily he breaks things as if he doesn’t know his own strength

how he is a hazard to himself and is so smart yet doesn’t know basic things like how to use a knife or to NOT touch boiling pasta
how he’s so big but if he curls up into himself he looks so small
the way his nose wrinkles when he’s confused
that stupid ahahAHAHAHA laugh he does
the fact that he grows bonsai and has named them - ‘cherry blossom baby’ ‘jjin jjin’ ‘cherry’ and ‘orihime’ who he calls ori as a nickname and that he also talks to them
how he said he will wear whatever - regardless of ‘gender’ stereotypes
how he’ll sit on the side and simply watch the rest of bangtan with the proudest, sappiest smile because he knows they’re happy and because they’re his entire happiness
how he does aegyo and then immediately gets shy afterwards
how gentle and delicate his features are, and yet so unbelievably handsome and sexy he is at the same time
how he’s the gentlest giant to ever exist
how he lets bangtan do whatever they want to him - like wipe cake onto his face, or squish his cheeks, and he accepts it all with the patience of a saint
how he gives love freely and loves freely but never asks for anything in return even though he deserves it and everything
how he has a sweet tooth, and eats spoonfuls of sugar, and how he believes that even when the world ends people who make cotton candy should continue existing
how humble he is, despite being in the biggest boy group in the world, but how he never fails to thank the staff, the people who work with them, their dancers, the stage crew, the directing crew or whatever
how he can’t take a compliment without getting incredibly shy
how he learned to love himself over the years
how he’s so willing to let people use him for them to learn to love themselves
how he made me fall in love with the world again, and it’s beauty, and reminded me that there is good in the world
how he is my source of strength and happiness
how his words and existence bring me comfort
how he saved my life
and a whole bunch of other reasons that i cannot remember because i’m crying
I get so angry hearing and reading about what's happening in Palestine right now. I don't even know what to do and it all feels hopeless 😔
The situation around Sheikh Jarrah should make everyone angry. For those of you who might not know what’ going on here’s a brief breakdown:
Indigenous Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah, for a very long time, have been fighting lengthy legal battles in Israeli courts against eviction orders which aim to replace these indigenous people with illegal Israeli settlers.
On May 7th, the illegal Israeli settlers along with courts (an apparatus of Israel’s apartheid regime) have started a campaign to illegally take over the home’s of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah. These families were given until today (May 10th, 2021) to “reach an agreement” with the occupiers. This obviously prompted protests. The IDF has also brutally responded to these protests. Now the world is watching and global protests have started happening.
Some important things to note:
-Sheikh Jarrah belongs to the Palestinian families. It is part of the occupied Palestinian territory, and therefore any Israeli settler presence in it amounts to a war crime under international law.
-There has been a mountain of UN Security Council resolutions demanding that Israel withdraw from East Jerusalem which Israel continues to ignore.
-This is ethnic cleansing
I know you feel hopeless but here’s what we can do:
-Support BDS (Boycott, Divestments, Sanctions) movements (What”s BDS?) Boycott Israeli products from their colonial settlements
-Understand whats happening in Palestine and the crimes of apartheid/persecution being committed by Israel. (Check out this great report by HRW on the situation) After getting an understanding. SPREAD AWARENESS. Especially in the US. This is key to combatting Evangelical propaganda and Israeli lobbyists. Do this through social media.
-Contact your local reps and pressure them to stop giving Israel military funding or any form of financial support. Fight against zionist lobbyists such as AIPAC or Christians United for Israel.
-Donate if you can. Here’s a few links. If you can add more (reputable) donation links to this, I ask that you please do.
International Medical Corps
Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Grassroots Al-Quds
I found this great twitter thread of donation links
Here is another
This is a start and we can honestly make change happen. I personally believe social media outrage coupled with supporting the BDS movement is a great way for you to help even by sitting at home.
Most of all, it’s important to spread awareness.
Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister
Ppl will be like “end the stigma around mental illness uwu” but still judge you if you’re unemployed or single or not completely self-sufficient or healthy or perfectly groomed or still live with parents and don’t see the hypocrisy in that whatsoever
pansexuality is not bi erasure.
countless [exclusionist] bisexual people have told me that my identity is invalidating theirs and tell me to read the bisexual manifesto. they then proceed to send me this:
but the rest of it is so often left out.
“do not expect a clear cut definition of bisexuality...”
“there are as many definitions of bisexuality as there are bisexuals.”
“many of us... find the word ‘bisexual’ to be inadequate and too limiting.”
your own bisexual manifesto proves you claims wrong. so, perhaps, instead of telling us to educate ourselves, maybe you should educate yourself before attempting to perpetuate panphobia and mspec exclusionism.
there are several other arguments i’ve commonly encountered that are clearly counterproductive to the manifesto.
“pansexuality is just a preference”
“labels aren’t for comfort”
“bi isn’t an umbrella term”
pansexuality is simply a label to help people feel further comfortable in labelling the way they feel attraction. by definition, pansexuality means “attraction regardless of gender.” it’s not a preference, though it has several overlaps with bisexuality, and can be seen as a microlabel. it helps people more specifically identify and express their attraction. there’s no ‘erasure’ of bisexuality there - there’s no invalidation of bisexuals or their identity. pansexuality and bisexuality can, and do, coexist. bisexuality is an umbrella term for various mspec identities that fall under the label but are still completely valid as singular and whole. this is made clear in the highlighted lines above.
“the original definition of pansexuality was nb/transphobic”
“pansexuality is rooted in transphobia”
“pansexuality has a biphobic history”
“the definition of pansexuality keeps changing”
before the bisexual manifesto, bisexual was seen as meaning two genders. given time, labels have changed. the current definition, again, means “attraction regardless of gender,” and though it was originally seen as a more inclusive counterpart to bisexuality, since both definitions have been adapted, it is now seen as an overlap or subsection of bisexuality.
in conclusion:
we need bi/pan solidarity.
all mspecs are welcome on my blog. you are valid and loved.
exclusionists, you are not welcome on my blog.
stop trying to twist the bisexual manifesto to fit your exclusionist pov.
