WAYS TO HELP UKRAINE FOR FREE AND WITHOUT MUCH EFFORT

Many of us want to help Ukrainian people during such terrible times but not everybody can do that directly or has enough money to donate. There are ways to still help tho - for example watching videos made by people promising that they will donate whole ad revenue to the charity, yet it is not unreasonable to suspect some of the creators to be scammers, not all of them will publish proof of donation, right?

1) Fortunately, channels like Watch to donate ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCJH1K31TTLYhux3v1Yb3NQ ) exist. They have their own website where they publish proof of donation to the charity for all their videos, each dedicated to another important issue. https://www.watchtodonate.org

Watch to donate already engaged in raising money to fight climate change, aid indigenous people, support girls and women in Afghanistan, prevent LBBQT people suicide,  and so much more! Videos created to support this important issues are still on their channel.

2) Moreover, they have collaborated with artists, for example Michelle Teh - all money made of streaming her song Life Update on Apple music and Spotify will go to Project Hope, they also help in Ukraine (and in other places in the world as well). Their website states that

,, Founded in 1958, Project HOPE is a renowned global health and humanitarian relief organization. Our lifesaving work addresses the world’s greatest public health challenges, transforming lives and uplifting communities. “

There are a lot of little lines in TFA that sort of tip you off that something isnt quite right with the "heroic autobots" and it just gets more pronounced once you've noticed it. Like everything about Optimus's speech in the first episode. "We're all cogs in the great big autobot machine." Emphasizing the needs of the collective over everything else (and notice that this is apparently something he says a lot. Something he's internalized). "Don't try to be a hero, it's not in your programming." Idk bro sounds like functionism to me. But probably the most unsettling line is Ratchet's implication that they can just.. delete emotions. Just run a program and bam! That feeling of dissatisfaction with your lot in life? Gone. Thats a big old red flag if Ive ever seen one.

Can you share that interns tweet?

1. Sam Maggs claims credit for naming Rivet

2. Intern at the time (now programmer) calls her on her bullshit and brings up how much of a toxic element she was (in a polite tone).

3. Maggs has to backpedal about being the one who named Rivet and pivots to "I'm angry because it was a team effort" when, in reality, she was clout chasing.

4. What Maggs hasn't done is address is she's been lying and trying to steal credit from the person who actually came up with the name for at least a 5 months.

November 2021. She was called out on March 2022. She's a shitheel who is purely out for herself. And remember, she left the project (possibly fired because she's toxic) 1.5 years before the game was finished, with other writers taking over for her.

Which means that anything she said about Rivet as a character is null and void. Her claims about both named Rivet and that Rivet is actually gay are both attempts at grabbing attention.

Why, you ask? Because the game she just finished working on, Tiny Tina's Wonderland, was just released and nobody is talking about it. She's desperately trying to farm clout and look progressive to get invited to some other project because that's how she operates.

She jumps from project to project, acts like a toxic bitch, leaves halfway through and then tries to act like she was a bigger influence on the game than she actually was. She's a leech.

Nobody should hire her, period.

Edit: She was stealing credit for at least 5 months, not 16. I have no idea why I put 16 down.

Do people forget what TERF stands for?  Do people forget what the R and F mean?

You don’t need to say “Radfems and terfs’.  That’s like saying "I hate flowers and roses”

Do other people in the world really believe the genocide is over or that conditions have improved? They began starving the North in March last year and then continued to starve the whole Strip for a year and now they are starving the whole Gaza Strip again this March, in Ramadan.

Genocide is an act of collective punishment and neglect of the most essential life sources.

In reality they began committing genocide against the people of Gaza the day that the siege on Gaza was imposed. What we continue to witness since Oct 7th is only the same genocide accelerated which I will never stop repeating.

Not only that, the murder by aircraft has not stopped. israel's fascist death machines are still hovering and threatening and firing and killing people in their tents, in their damaged homes, in cars, at people trying to rebuild...their thirst for Palestinian blood is literally infinite.

Even if the fire stopped, it would still be genocide. There is no such thing as an israeli ceasefire because they practice murder by freezing and starving and medically neglecting and physically and psychologically torturing Palestinians too.

the favoritism of the creators can be traced very clearly, especially when it comes to the consequences of the actions of the characters. John executed a terrorist in a state of passion and was deprived of everything for this without proper procedures. Bucky and Sam were walking freely around the city with a particularly dangerous terrorist, who was deliberately dragged out of prison by Bucky, forcibly seized a shield from a government agent and staged a brawl in madripoor (and the fandom shouted that Bucky would definitely be punished to the fullest extent!! yeah, of course…), but they got absolutely nothing for it, as if it never happened.

I’m not saying that John shouldn’t have faced the consequences. I say that everyone faces them, except the main characters (sharon, john, karli and etc). you either make sure that everyone is responsible for their actions, or that no one is. seriously, it was just funny (and sad) to watch.

did you guys see yesterday that a whistleblower came forward and said that facebook knows how to remove the conspiracy theories and nazis but chooses not to because of the ad revenue those kinds of things bring in (and actively turned off the bare minimum safeguards they had when biden won the election), and now today, immediately following this whistleblower’s report: facebook, instagram, whatsapp, and all the sites owned by facebook are mysteriously down and have been down for over two hours now

a helpful slideshow created by my friend @the-celestial-bitch and her sister who can no longer access her blog from her country and has asked me to post in her stead instead

this is what she said:

this is a direct response to all the people whose reaction to what’s happening in iran is a calling them islamophobic and blocking them, furthering the oppression they’re experiencing by the government’s hands. please read this, and repost it on Twitter or Instagram and stop the misinformation from spreading

You’re the most recognised and internationally praised superhero, but you don’t fight any crime. Instead, you use your powers over stone and metal to repair the damage caused by the catastrophic fights other heroes get into.

”… What’s happened?” ”Nothing. Everything. I lost my way.”

This was honestly meant to be a short piece, but my crippling weakness for dads + found families means my muse took the wheel for some Morgan Trayton/Megatron and Thaddeus Marshall/Terminus over the years.

(For the curious, Terminus raises Megatron as something of his son in this Human AU! Also that panel with Megatron beaten up is basically the night he came back from police custody after going out for a drink with Impactor in the city.)
