Tiktok banned one of my Palestinian mutuals, I’m gonna start biting.

Anyway, this is the GFM for Mohanad Abuwarda and his family. They are on OOB, but haven’t received very much in donations. If you can, please donate, if not, share and pass it along or come back to it when you can donate.

I just donated 10 euros, how many can match it?

Thank you so much if you do, I’d appreciate it very much.

im gonna be real frank and honest here, and what i’m about to say is meant only for non palestinian allies, not palestinians themselves.

to prove a point, i counted how many different gfms i saw just yesterday. only yesterday. yesterday was an especially slow day, and i saw between here and tiktok 48 different gfms. not 48 times i saw one, 48 different gfms.

my point is that it’s not selfish to acknowledge that there is an overwhelming amount of need. with the $5 minimum, that’s $240 minimum. most cant afford to give that much every day. and it can be paralyzing to see so many and feel guilty that you can’t, because how do you say to someone in desperate urgent need that you have nothing because you already gave it to someone else?

i’m not interested in shaming you. shame is not a good motivator, and i prioritize more helping these people in anyway i can than i do being morally superior to people online.

if you have nothing to donate, i understand. we’re in a cost of living crisis and the vast majority of people checking for these gfms are the ones affected by it. im acknowledging this so that you know that i see all the barriers and still say you can make a difference.

mohanad’s children are now sick. their campaign is moving very slowly. if you’ve already given what you can give, please share it.

thank you.

Annoyed at both US and Canadian liberals acting like Canada is an oppressed Global South country that is under the boot of US imperialism and full of progressive revolutionaries when it's actually one of the wealthiest countries in the world and an enthusiastic ally of the US in its imperialism most of the time, and when it isn't, it has its own imperialist and colonialist projects, especially mining, both in the Global South and on stolen Indigenous land within so called Canada - don't even get me started on how reactionary Canadian settlers are either, and it's not just the white ones born here bc a lot of non-white diaspora and immigrants are just as nationalistic and hate both Indigenous peoples and the Global South, even if their families are originally from the latter.

yellowjackets is genuinely so fucking bad this season i have to laugh. the writing is so ass! they truly don't know what to do with any of their characters. they introduce random twists purely for shock value, refuse to actually elaborate on the interesting parts of the plot, and leave so many storylines half finished.

this is coming from someone who really loved season 1, both the teen and adult timelines were actually interesting. the writing was well done and cohesive and the choices that were made actually paid off or were implied to be explored in later seasons.

season 2 dropped the ball a bit. the first half of the season was basically just setup for the teen plot last 3 or 4 episodes. the adult timeline was fine? but mostly directionless - it didn't feel like there was really any continuity between episodes, just a bunch of diconnected events and callbacks/parallels that were supposed to make the audience Feel Something, and it worked to some extent for me - enough that i could overlook some of the shortcomings of the season and try to enjoy the show for what it was.

season 3? genuinely awful. there's one episode left and like three things have happened in the teen timeline. there's basically no stakes in the teen timeline right now either because we know they don't get rescued until during or after the next winter. instead of actually spending time on any main characters other than shauna (ESPECIALLY taissa and lottie, who are some of the most interesting characters on the show, and we can get into the implications of the writers ignoring their woc another time) the writers are putting their time, effort and budget towards melissa, a character who literally was not named during the first season of the show and had like ten lines in season 2. the adult timeline is also a whole lot of nothing! shauna's on some kind of wild goose chase, taissa and van have no characterization or plot outside of each other, no one really cares about the fact that nat died last season when they all seemed to respect her greatly in season 1, and for some fucking reason, lottie is dead. mind you, we know next to nothing about who she really is outside of the wellness guru we saw last season. all of this is being sidelined for the melissa plot which is just truly so idiotic i can't bring myself to watch any scene with her with a straight face. and with episode 9's ending of melissa stabbing van, i really feel like the show has gone off the rails. her entire plot this season has been about whether she and taissa are going to have a future. whether van will survive cancer and the wilderness is appeased by natalie's sacrifice in the season 2 finale. but no! get rid of all of that for background character #4 who has literally no personality but gives your season shitty underdeveloped #gay representation! or whatever

Sonically, Caramel is incredible (I'm a sucker for music boxes in songs, lol), but lyrically, it's devastatingly personal. I think this is their most straightforward song, with not much room for interpretation. It's not as riddled with cryptic metaphors.

And yet, I feel like the message will not reach those it's really aimed at. People are already coming up with excuses when the man so clearly said, "Leave me alone!"

I hate how harassment is so normalised with the excuse of "that's the price of fame."

Like the man is scared to open his damn door because he's constantly doxed because people can't respect basic boundaries.

He's clearly been through shit and people think it's funny to yell out his real name, DURING a song about attempted suicide. Why would you do that?

I wish a lot of people who call themselves fans of anyone in general finally learned some basic respect! These people are not puppets just there for our entertainment.

The song is incredibly ironic when you look at all that happened with the riddles leading up to the release.

And yet it's incredible how Vessel STILL invites us to sing with him, despite everything.

Gaza without bread .. The sector's bakeries were closed all of the day .. The remaining flour is not enough for more than a week, and the sack of flour if its price is exceeded 60 dollars ..

I swear to you that Gaza is hungry, and the remaining food stocks are not enough for the maximum of more than ten days and will completely end .. What do you expect after that from a people who kill around the clock and now hunger?! God does not forgive those who brought us here, God does not forgive those who have the ability to stop this genocide and did not.

To everyone considering paying 5 billion dollars per year to play gamecube games on switch

Take my hand. I can show you a better way

Anas has gastric cancer.

Anas (@dr-anas96) is severely suicidal and is dying on the inside in every sense of the word. Mentally he feels his life is over, and physically he's barely moving anymore, only occasionally coming to consciousness and vomiting blood.

I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart not to let my friend die. This entire time, during this genocide he's living through, he's been:

Now, with some reprieve for Gazans seemingly so close, he is dying. I don't use this word lightly because I don't want to believe my dear friend is dying. I am only saying it because I have no escape from believing it

But I still have hope that we can carry him through this so he can see the end of this difficult road. I am not giving up on him and I'm begging, begging, begging, begging you all not to give up either. We're so close.

I didn't want to share some of the more graphic photos Anas sent me, but his campaign goes days without donations, and he insisted I share these photos. CW for blood under the cut.
