Ace. 24. Salty, salty Dane. History student at CPH Uni. Still not over 1814 (come back Norway!), and still super bitter about Sweden (fandens Svenskere). 16-1700's navy stuff is my thing oh my god yes, and Kings and courts. Aesthetics, shitposting, and...
So the "food" that the US dropped to Gaza is MREs. Expired. Saw a stitch of this video from a woman saying this is the same thing they did with Hurricane Katrina survivors.
MREs are shelf stable for 7 years. Total. These ones were over 15 years old.
And ofc there were people in the comments being like "ummm well our military eats them just fine, they were expired when I was in the army too" THATS NOT OKAY THO?? NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO EAT EXPIRED FOOD!
Fuck the US, fuck the Israeli government, and fuck you if you think that this is any kind of help to the people of Gaza. They're starving to death and the US is sending expired applesauce while also giving bombs to their murderers.
Just received an ask from Sila Keli - please PLEASE be aware that there are now scams pretending to be Gazans and Palestinians. If you are asked to PayPal or send money directly to people with no verification, please be wary. Use GoFundMe or go via known charities and nonprofits if you want to be sure you're donating to a real person in need!
Scammer pretending to be in Palestine v2
Currently there is a scammer posing as either a person in Palestine, having a family in Palestine, or is an orphan/an orphan with kids in Palestine. I have another post where I’ve been documenting this scammer but I’m redoing it here since recent updates are hard to be seen. Every account that will be listed here are scammers. Please make sure that if you see this as a reblogged post, please check the original to see if it’s been updated since. This scammer will send you hate asks if you call them out and they have been doing this since the start of February. Here is my original post.
The most common thing is that their blog is usually only a week old at best and commonly is taking their posts from a real fundraiser. Please do not give money to this scammer. Please note that they send asks to anyone who interacts with trending posts or tags and will promise to you that they’re legitimate but will refuse to answer any questions to prove they’re legit. If they do happen to send you a DM, please see if they’ll give you a direct link to their PayPal-me which would make it easy to figure out which country they’re actually located in.
As of 3/2/2024, these are the currently active accounts:
Please keep in mind all their info is generally stolen off a real Palestine fundraiser and a quick Google search of the text should lead you to the general location of it. Also please alert anyone who’s shared any of their posts and inform them of the scam by linking them to my posts.
Below is a growing list of fake names used across the accounts:
Nour Samar | maryline lucy | Fred Odhiambo | Jeff Owino | Valentine Nakuti | Conslata Obwanga | JACINTA SITATI | David Okoth | Martín Mutugi | Daudi Likuyani | William Ngonyo | Fred Agy | George Ochieng | BONFACE ODHIAMBO | Sila Keli | John Chacha | benson komen | Alvin Omondi
some facts for western christians this holiday season:
jesus’ birthplace is under military occupation
bethlehem is surrounded by military checkpoints, an apartheid wall, and over 20 segregated illegal settlements built on stolen land - all designed to keep palestinians (including palestinian christians) under the thumb of oppression
palestinian christians are not allowed to move without restrictions, meaning that many have never and will never see their own holy sites in jerusalem. jerusalem is less than 30 minutes away.
they are often harassed, beaten, or even killed on holidays like christmas and easter.
palestinian christians are forced out of their homes as israel continues to build apartheid walls and illegal settlements
churches have been deliberately targeted in airstrikes, arson attacks, and settler violence
nuns and other clergy have been targeted in violent attacks
indigenous christians of the holy land have begged for help from christian communities abroad, fearing for their lives and even a possible extinction, according to christian religious leaders there
and finally, a message from the archbishop of jerusalem:
In light of a recent string of reblogs for my 10+ year old Stand Still Stay Silent (by Minna Sundberg) posts, I wish to make a public statement:
I, Augustine, no longer supports or consumes content by Minna Sundberg, including her comic 'Stand Still Stay Silent'. This is due to certain racist overtones in the work, a total lack of people of colour in the depiction of countries with large ethnic minorities from the Middle East and Africa, as well as comments made by the author herself. I also pledge that in every book I ever write, I will place one character of colour (though I promise there will be MANY), specifically in (dis)honour of Minna Sundberg, to offset her total lack of representation of anyone non-nordic in her works. Than you, next.
One of my earlier embroidery animations, this was my second one. I made sure that the designs were very simple, since I wanted this to be fairly long. The tangled thread is just purposefully messed up French knots.
Please reblog and add your nationality in the tags along with what you answered! I'm very curious about this; and it's not to shame anybody, so don't be rude!
That's honestly very Humanity of Miette and I, and the many people who has ever eaten smth completely random and Seen the Heart of Cosmos, love her for it
Been a rough couple days for one of our favorite cats, send Miette some good thoughts.
