The student protests for Palestine have been an amazing show of solidarity and support and seeing thr way that so many young people are willing to stand up for their values is admirable when so many others stay silent. But this is all to say that we are entering a pattern of glorifying these white “martyrs” from the global west to put all of this effort and resources and media coverage into instead of the actual cause they are fighting for.

I saw the same thing happen with Aaron Bushnell, when his self immolation was being talked about more than the actual genocide in Gaza (which went against everything he said he was self immolating for in the first place).

And again this happened with the prisoner from the US who worked 136 hours just to be able to donate his $17 check to Palestine aid efforts. In response to this, people wanted to help him and ended up raising over $100,000 in a gofundme for him. This feels almost satirical, as every gofundme to help Gazans evacuate Palestine and get to safety has a goal of less than $100,000 and most of them are not even close to reaching it.

And now, there are more and more posts on how to get aid to the college student encampments, and the “urgency” of getting enough bail funds for the students who have been arrested during them. Talking about Palestine itself and getting resources to Palestine has almost been put on the back burner in favour of making all Palestine related news about college students in the United States.

It think it is valuable to recognise the selflessness and importance of these protests, and getting these students resources but what is MORE important, and what these people are truly fighting for, and protesting, and make a statement about is PALESTINE. We have unsurprisingly reached the point where there are people who care much more about the white people fighting for the cause from the comfort of living in the global west than they care about the Palestinians undergoing a genocide in Gaza. It’s become almost blatant racism, the way people begin to drop everything the second a white/usamerican person does something in regards to helping Palestine, but will not put the same effort into a Palestinian IN Gaza who is telling their story or asking for help. I respect anyone who has done absolutely anything to help Palestine, but I hope people are starting to see the pattern of how the media gravitates towards the “white saviour/perfect martyr” instead of the first hand accounts coming from those in Gaza.

Anyway FIND A GOFUNDME AND DONATE TO HELP FAMILIES IN GAZA ESCAPE GENOCIDE

INVITE! Part 7 of my AU comic where Teru is stronger than Mob, but also works with just regular canon. aka the one where i drew half a page, couldn't think of a conclusion, and then forgot about it for months before giving it the most no-thought conclusion i possibly could've.

i need to figure out how to draw shoes oh my god.

Strength Swap AU Original idea

Strength Swap Comic: part 1 previous part

image id under the cut!

In panel 1, Mob, in his school uniform, says, "So, Ritsu told me you were at our house last weekend."

In panel 2, Teru, also in his school uniform and visibly nervous, replies "Ah, yeah... So, um, I..."

In panel 3, Mob says, "If you would like to spend time together, 3o'clock really isn't ideal for me."

Panel 4 has Teru looking completely blanked faced while text reads, "...Teru.exe has stopped responding" in a typewriter-inspired font.

Panel 5 has Mob slightly smiling and saying, "Right now would be okay, if that works for you. I don't work today."

Panel 6 has Teru smiling. A thought bubble reads, "This is the first time HE'S invited ME to do something together!" He says out loud, "Right now is great!"

Panel 7 has a descriptor reading "1 hour later" and shows Teru and Mob holding video game controlers and sitting on the Kageyams's couch. Teru looks satisfied, Mob looks like he's concentrating (I hope).

None of this is drawn well.

End image id.
