"I not only like [“Fake Your Death”] as a song but as a companion piece to The Black Parade. It’s a good signifier of the band’s end, equal parts heroic and reflective. On it, they sound both proud and defeated. I think, often, about what that album must’ve taken out of them. Gerard Way, in recent years, has said that he imagined the band being done after they finished The Black Parade tour."

answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:
tl;dr:
- israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.
- with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.
the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.
as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.
the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.
ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.
all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!
long answers under the cut!
plugging gaza soup kitchen for those with the means to donate! it's another gazan-led initiative currently providing food, water, classes for children, and medical care across the north and south. you can donate through their website or their gofundme, or follow them on instagram for news about their projects
please also consider taking a look at dahnoun mutual aid (instagram link), another ghazzawi-run initiative doing great work using very little funds! they're currently distributing winter clothes for young children, as well as food and water, infant formula, tents, and cash. they've also got a chuffed

fucking Americans I swear to god the amount of pearl clutching about how the Signal thing EnDaNgErS nAtIoNaL dEfeNsE WHAT ABOUT THE TROOPS like christ almighty I've never seen a country so full of people desperate for an army boot in their entire mouth.
like obviously it's incompetent insecure work from a bunch of people holding a lot of very sensitive information and that's obviously A Bad Sign. but for real who give a shit about the troops frankly. I hope Jakey dies.
53 people including 5 children were killed by those air strikes that day. I had to find this information on Wikipedia. None of the mainstream reporting that I've seen mentions that 53 people were killed that day. That children were killed that day.
Instead the focus is the fact that Jakey Yank from Texas could've been in danger while he was dropping those bombs on children. That includes the news coverage in my country, which is just...insane. I can understand american brains being cooked by USA military propaganda. BUT WE'RE CZECH FOR KURVA SAKE. That same group chat has messages stating pretty clearly what they think of Europe. So what's up with all that boot-licking?? Jakey Yank isn't going to fuck you he's too busy protecting Israel's right to do a genocide.

"so youre saying we should just allow rapists and abusers to remain in society?" where else would they go ⁉️😭🙏 so confused can you show me this place outside of society
people that dont wanna seem like law and order conservatives but have trouble not being a reactive arguer will allude to life prison or the death penalty but waffle on the delivery in 'progressive' spaces so theyll just advocate for exiling them to the wilderness. or something
The worst part is seeing self-labeled "leftist abolitionist anarchist punks" etc say shit like this. If you advocate for mass killing or incarceration of abusers, you probably aren't a leftist, abolitionist, anarchist, punk, or whatever.

There is no ceasefire, and we need to continue to do everything we can to end this disgusting killing and supporting the people there in any capacity we can.

I just discovered two of the people on the campaign I created were murdered. One of them was a child.
I feel like an absolute ghoul posting these conversations online but I need people to understand what is happening. I've been talking to Abdul and his friends almost every day since last year. I know them.
Every time the messages stop I know I may never even find out what happened to them. When and if they start again, I find out who is left.

For anyone who has donated or shared so far: you can and are helping. Please, please don't stop supporting these campaigns in any way you are able.
am writing this letter in the most difficult moments of my life. I lost all my friends during the painful events that went through us, and now I am trapped and my circumstances are getting more difficult day by day. I am only looking for hope, support, or even a good word that restores my faith in humanity.
All I ask is help, whether it's financial support or even communication with me to feel that I'm not alone in this world. Your words and support may be the hope I need to continue.
Thank you to everyone who can be with me even a little, because a little in such circumstances means a lot.”
