Reblog this if you want a slightly ominous compliment in your inbox
So hi I gotta say something.
I’m on RTC TikTok bc of how much content I posted/interacted with for our Majestic Rep production. There’s a production of Cyclone, I believe it’s a high school production, and I am seeing a relatively regular amount of users sharing videos of this production and ridiculing the performers, making fun of them, and genuinely being bullies to these performers & this production. I personally think that’s pretty messed up as these are children/teens. Like, honestly and truly how would you feel if your high school’s production made the rounds and dozens of people across the country/possibly the world were making fun of you? Personally I’d feel pretty shitty.
These are young performers, they’re still learning, we are all growing and they are presumably at the beginning of their journey. Y’all gotta realize that, these are people at the end of the day- young people who are taking the scary leap of performing a show that is VERY difficult for even most adults to do. I really hope that none of them have seen the hate bc if that were me as a little high schooler I would have felt humiliated and probably would’ve given up immediately.
There’s no reason to be hating on a HS production or ANY production for that matter. We’re performers, we do this bc we want to share the stories, we want to entertain, they didn’t hurt anyone. They’re just kids playing make believe for an audience.
Point blank period: you can have your opinions, but it’s never okay to bully people. We have got to do better y’all.

everyone watching the presidential debate rn
PLEASE remember that 99% of the things coming out of tr*mp’s mouth are lies. Fact check every claim. Every statistic. Remember that he has never solved any problem ever. He will not ‘fix’ the war on Ukraine. He advocated for the continuation to the genocide against Palestinians. He does not care about black or Hispanic people, he does not care about women. FACT CHECK LITERALLY EVERYTHING
and also remember that
a) he is only 3 years younger than Biden, if you have found issue with Biden’s age
b) while he is right that only the Israeli government wanted to continue the war, in the same sentence he ADVOCATED FOR THE CONTINUATION OF THE GENOCIDE
c) he willingly ended the USA’s involvement in the Paris Climate Accord
d) firing people does not make you a better president
e) tr*mp is not a politician. He is a failed businessman, and the only way he stayed wealthy enough to run was bc he inherited enough money to lose almost half and still stay rich.
f) finally, it is a crime to negotiate on behalf of the United States if you are not sanctioned to do so. So remember, every time he promises to ‘fix it’ before he takes office, he is threatening another crime!!
The situation is getting more serious, please help. My children wish for a happy life, nothing more. They want to play like the .children of the world
I'm not sure if I posted this one yet. But considering tumblr has decided to censor it for... featuring Palestinian children, as if Palestinian children are some kind of forbidden content you shouldn't see, I will post it.
This is a legit fundraiser that was verified by Nairuz! They're 7k from their goal! More than halfway through!
The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) reported that since October 7, Israeli authorities have detained 640 Palestinian children from the occupied West Bank.
Currently, about 250 children remain in Israeli prisons, where they reportedly face abuse and torture.
On the first day of the Eid al-Adha holiday, PPS reported that Israeli authorities detained a seven-year-old child, Baha Kazem Haj Mohammed, from the town of al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah.
According to his family, Baha was detained while at the town centre with other children and youths.
PPS stated that he was beaten on his hands during detention and then released far from his home.
Israel is the only country that systematically prosecutes minors in military courts, which often accept confessions obtained by coercion.
An estimated 500-700 children, some as young as 12, are tried in military courts every year, the most common charge being stone-throwing, which carries a 20-year prison sentence.
Defence for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) also documented the widespread "routine" detainment of child detainees in solitary confinement.
In 1991, Israel ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) which states that children should only be detained as a last resort.
But a series of policy changes have created loopholes allowing the Israeli authorities to convict children.
Before the war, after I left Gaza for Germany, I used to call my dad almost everday and tell him about my day. He would tell me how everyone else was doing and say that Salah,my little nephew, kept asking where I was.
Now, I hardly ever reach my parents or any of my siblings.I don't think Salah even remembers who I am any more as he struggles to carry water containers. I always find myself agonizing and wondering if I'll ever meet my family again, whether the newborns will see me one day and know that their uncle longs to hold them in his arms.
Every time I look at my dad's picture in our home, smiling and surrounded by his grandchildren, it breaks my heart into a million pieces. The house he dreamed the kids would grow up in was leveled to the ground in a split second. Nothing is left, not even both his shoe shops where he worked so hard to build a future for us all. My siblings are unable to work or finish their studies. There are no schools left for the children. There is no proper food, water, or sanitation, no life; only death and rubble all around.
When my brother sent me a photo of my dad lighting a fire, he still had that same old smile on his face. I was relieved to see him somewhat hopeful but it broke my heart even more. My father is the most resilient and hard-working man I've ever known. He always supported us in whatever we wanted to achieve. His only hope was that his grandkids would grow up safely and happily in their home. He never complained from work and taught us the true meaning of sacrifice and perseverance. Instead of living peacefully with his family, he, the kids, and everyone else have to endure life in a makeshift tent,God knows for how much longer, while their lives are constantly threatened by airstrikes, starvation, and disease. No child, elder, or adult should go through such hardships for this long.
As the injustice persists, we only find solace and hope because the free people of this world are still standing with us. Please continue to support us any way you can. I don't even have the words any more to say how grateful I am to everyone. You have already done so much for us but we need you now more than ever.
Please donate if you can and reblog as many times as possible.
This is my friend Bilal's new account after he lost his old one. Please support him here @bilal-salah0 and reblog this post. Don't forget my friend's family, please.🙏🏻
Don't forget about the Palestinians.
Don't forget about them now.
Don't forget about them tomorrow.
Don't forget about them in a week from now.
Don't forget about them in a month.
Don't forget them next year.
Don't forget them in 5 years.
When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.
When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.
When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.
Don't forget about what we've seen.
Don't forget about what we've heard.
Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.
Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.
