this is the Gaza Family Funds Directory, a spreadsheet of palestinian families' gofundmes, sorted by the amount of support they've received thus far. please choose as many as you can from this list to donate to, even just a dollar.

in addition, the sheet also contains a link to a gdrive folder with designs for flyers/stickers that you can print out and place in your community. if you truly can't spare anything directly now, please consider doing this so you can get these links in front of people who can donate!

it also remains urgent to keep the people of palestine connected in the face of communication blackouts; please contribute esims! it is very easy to do and is fully explained on this page: https://gazaesims.com/

if you cannot afford the price of an esim individually, there's a campaign currently running on twitter to which you can contribute whatever you can afford ($1, $3, whatever) to a larger pool which will then be used to buy esims collectively. there's also the crips for esims for gaza fundraiser, which operates similarly. there are probably more than this! i chose these two for this post bc they are currently active + both have easily vettable proof of donation (screencaps in the qrts of the twitter campaign, financial accountability document in the crips for esims campaign.)

finally, look into local grassroots organizations in your area so you can stay in the loop on protest activity. many such orgs have accounts on instagram. if you are in the us, looking for local chapters of the PSL, the palestinian youth movement, or national students for justice in palestine can be a good start.

please, please, please: pick something here and do it. i know it can feel overwhelming and there may be an urge to tell yourself that you'll reblog this now and get around to it later. instead please choose one thing. even if it's just finding orgs in your area and following them so you'll be notified the next time there's a protest. even if it's just downloading the flyer designs and looking up a print shop where you can run off a stack of copies. make a decision to do something tangible right now, even if it's just a first step.

#this is not an exhaustive list of fundraisers or avenues of action at all. it's just what's in front of me right now #let seeing stuff like this be a jumping off point for looking more in-depth and finding stuff in your own area too #at the end of the day everything helps -- including just boosting things -- but to get anywhere we all need to individually engage #free palestine

A one-and-done line of Worm Worldbuilding which I think about a lot is in Lisa's interlude, where she receives mover support from a jetpack user she describes as, quote, "one of the Silicon Valley Capes." Worlds unspoken there, right? That the Wormverse Silicon Valley has a distinct enough and well-known enough cape subculture that Lisa can visually identify him as one of them immediately. He's using a jetpack- a tinker? Or another kind of cape with Gallant-style tinker backing, because the expectation of advanced technology is the price of admission in that area? Mention is made of at least two rival corporate teams being in attendance, and this is the section of the book where they're still talking about things like the "tinker-driven tech boom." Do you see my vision? The expanse of twee-named 2010s tech startups fielding superpowered mascot-janissaries? The apps-as-services which are bogus, unsustainable ventures puffed up by flashy tinkertech demos that haven't a prayer of scaling? Sillicon Valley or The Social Network, as prosecuted with mechs and laser weaponry? The most insufferable corporate social media presences that you ever did see?

after life 1998 <- watch this movie

#the plot is when you die you get to choose one memory to be recreated as a film and then you live in it forever #but its about the individual process of choosing the memory and the people who live in the limbo area and produce the films #Really sweet.. really hopeful

This is what I did during my spare time... I'm fine.

Side Notes: I didn't add any of the actual players for simplicity's sake, but I did add characters played by the CCs that aren't their main characters such as Arin, ElQuackity, and Sapo Peta.

It will be too complicated to add ex-alliances and spy-related stuff... but if I did! Jaiden will be between the "knows the federation" and "sides with the players" and Etoiles will be between "understands the codes" and "sides with the players" just because there are no real secrets about it if you watch their POVs.

#qsmp #this is what I did in Valentine's Day because my aro-ace ass couldn't think of anything better to spend my time on #also the thing that shock me the most out of this is THAT THE FUCKING DOG WORKS FOR THE FEDS WHAT #also the Watcher may hate the Federation and stuff but only really knows about Egg Island and nothing else #so he is included in the same area as Cucurucho Mr Duck and the Bunnies #and the Fed workers are in between because they LIKE the players 80% of them are friends or more that the other workers ARE NOT #Creation is so new but I think I'm okay in the placement for now just because is not attached to the Players enough to move to where Arin i #also there's a glee on seeing Ayrobot and SOFIA (Max's robo-daughter) in the same place just for perfectly for my little aymaxo brain #also I'm putting all the Cucurucho's on the Feds because there's not much distinguishing Cucurcho from Osito Bimbo and Ourson #also that's Madagio not naked Slenderman... although both of them would be in the same slot #and all the individual gods like Mine Kristin/Mumza Matt and both Cellbit's and Philza's individual god entities are still there #because we know them as the audience but we don't know what the fuck they know and what they can do even if they canonically exist #also I don't know what the fuck is @v@ so clearly deserves that spot despite being able to infect players federation works and the codes

It sucks that the doctor managing my hormones asks me every time we have an appointment ‘how are you doing with the current political climate’ because each time I see her, the provincial government has made another statement/law restricting our rights. I hate I can’t be on campus, literally the only ‘safe space’ available to me, without hearing threats that make trans people out to be predators. And that the student body has voted in elections multiple times, to not levy our GSA, allowing it to receive benefits, while other clubs are able to receive this just fine (while being more expensive to maintain). It’s frustrating to deal with!

#transphobia #I feel I can’t even be visibly angry about this either because I’m one of the few trans people in my area #who is respected well enough to be able to talk to more conservative individuals about the problems we face #i don’t want to lose that

I think queer headcanons for the characters of the ccs are fine when it is clear you are not talking about the actual irl person. Maybe not on Twitter but here. Tumblr doesn't have many of the ccs here and people usually try to be respectful about it and it's good to see someone like you in your favorite character.

I do understand your reasoning tho, this isn't an argument or anything. Just wanted to add my two cents.

Love your art btw <3

i appreciate the input! and thanks for the compliment :D

the way i see it, the personas that the ccs put on in the life series and hermitcraft etc are not consistently separate enough from the irl ccs in order to warrant treating them as fictional characters. of course this is case-specific— ren probably considers some of the characters he’s played as more separate from himself, compared to someone like etho who doesnt stray much from his true personality. and to me, its just not practical to take it on a case by case basis— we’re not going to ask every cc a list of questions about their content just to know if its ok to ship them and whatnot, so i tend to take a very “better safe than sorry” attitude and just not engage with that fictional treatment at all

i’ve seen this described as a twitter opinion before and while i do think that probably has foundations in reality, i think separating between platforms like that isn’t helpful. i barely use twitter and haven’t for probably a year or so (aside from my private account) so i engage way more with the tumblr fandom than the twitter one, and further, i see a lot of people on twitter who do treat them as separate characters. idk that statement just irks me

and i’m glad that people are generally trying to be respectful— that’s good! and i understand that i, a random guy, cannot enforce my own views onto other people. but i do think this is a good conversation to have that too often i see people brushing off in favor of their own fan desires

if you want to see people like yourself in the minecraft content you watch (as many do, including myself) you should find other queer creators to watch, and/or find qualities about the hermits (and co) that you can relate to

#theres a difference between imagining yourself in a fictional situation and playing a fictional character #also the ccs are friends and know each other well enough to joke about these things #us as the fans do not know enough about the ccs individual comforts to talk seriously about these things #the things being lgbt headcanons and shipping and stuff #its certainly a grey area #askbox #masontalking #also i hate the excuse that some people use of ‘they wont see it’ like first of all you cant promise that #they see a lot more than we think #and secondly that doesnt change the actual stuff you’re doing

Most recent "not to sound like a feminist scold but" was my speech on how the majority of relationships are heterosexual and therefore have an inherent power imbalance because men hold structural power over women in a patriarchal society.

#this doesn't mean individual partners can't negotiate healthy and fulfilling relationships #that's where the 70s radical feminists went wrong with this imo #I was just criticizing the overuse of the 'power imbalance' argument in some areas (age) #and simultaneous silence on the most common one (gender)

All the tour groups in Springfield should be very proud of me for how well I refrained from sharing all my fascinating Lincoln facts.

#there were so many school groups! #a giant one came in RIGHT AFTER i entered lincoln's cabinet room #part of me was screaming 'children i NEED to tell you about all these idiots and their insane drama!' #a smarter part of me understood that would be super weird #so instead i regaled different individuals of my own traveling party after we had the room to ourselves #then at lincoln's tomb we lucked out in getting there during the ten minutes of the day when school groups weren't there #which meant we got a personal tour from a guide who seemed thrilled to have grown-ups to talk to #he and my dad chatted about fishing for a long while in the entry #it didn't feel disrespectful because it totally felt like the kind of conversation lincoln would have understood and joined in on #and then we went on our way but the guide then chased us down to share all the fascinating lincoln stories as we went along #(shout-out to lefty you were great) #and then a school group found us so we made a graceful exit #but outside a teacher was explaining to a different group about how robert was significant in his own right so he's buried at arlington #and the RESTRAINT i showed in not immediately informing them that he was present at three presidential assassinations! it was rather heroic #and then when we toured lincoln's house the guide (who accidentally made it clear he was a revolutionary war buff) #(which made it a bit hilarious he was stuck with lincoln) #asked for questions before we started and someone asked about lincoln's 1860 election campaign! #aka one of my SPECIAL NICHE AREAS OF OBSESSION! #you cannot imagine how desperately i wanted to tell him ALL ABOUT seward and thurlow weed #anyway it was fun to go back now that i actually know stuff about lincoln #but it was also a bit frustrating because now i know how much they leave out #(though there was cool new info and artifacts) #(the blood-stained piece of laura keene's dress was very morbid and very cool) #also it reminded me that i still have that book on the 1860 election i've yet to read and the hype is so real #presidential talk

idk if this is a Jaw Problem that I don't know about or The Inevitable Cavities my dad says I will get bc of our genes but my mouth hurts and well i don't like it

theoretically

i could get a tramp stamp

#i dont actually use my legs because i dont have enough fatty tissue #the cannula goes straight into my muscle and its severely painful so i dont use my legs for jack shit #thus i could get leg tattoos #could get panel outlines around everything like cyborg style #then do a skinrip in the open areas and have like mechanical shit everywhere #idk #i could give up my arms for blood checks and use my legs for that instead #cause i rEALLY WANT SLEEVES #but sticks on the top of the forearm are comfortabbblllleeeeee #and my cgm is comfortable on my triiiiiiiiceeeeeep #basically all the blue areas on me are just shitloads of scar tissue now though #wrecked my stomach so hard i lost a lotta feeling in it #bout 17 years worth of thrice weekly jabbings #thats about 2652 individual needle marks not including any time i messed up and had to redo it #and not including my cgm or bloodwork or glucose checks or anything #also i cant watch other diabetics check their glucose #no idea why it just squigs me out so hard #cant let other people check mine for me either #my nurses are nice they let me do it myself

giomis + Trish in a grey third area is real to me in the same way that bakudeku + Shouto in a grey third area is

#like they don't hit as ot3s because there's something that doesn't click in that way. to me. nor am i into the ''individual'' ships #but i really like T and S there. not necessarily Involved with G/M and bkdk but in their general area #no i haven't read phf and i don't even really care to. F can be G/M/T's occasional lapdog or whatever #ideally N would be there too. as T's and i guess F's boy exclusively. but alas 😔😔😔 #my sweet boy sleep tight my beautiful little prince (*was a menace*)............... #mytext

i just really have a soft spot for beard being bad at football, like he cannot play it that well, but still trying out for the team anyways...

#like god. i also feel like there's something to be said about how beard's more adept in individual sports than team sports. #he's not good at football and i bet he's bad at soccer and baseball and stuff. #but chess? boxing? lumberjacking? darts? the only team he thrives on is the coaching team #coach beard #ted lasso #beard is boyfailure with playing sports btw he just has the random areas of expertise

I had a dream last night that ZoS made Fennorian into a companion.

#feykrorovaan #elder scrolls #elder scrolls online #eso #fennorian #Fennorian Ravenwatch #I know they won't but man that would be rad #the new guys are great and all but it would be fantastic to have already established characters as companions #I know they won't for continuity reasons #but then again they also claim our companions can't wear helmets because they need to be seen as individuals when there are 42 Ember clones #running around in the same area so what do I know #I'm just an online fantasy game blog

haha it's so awesome that Qi Xiaotian is like. canonically romance averse and implied to be nonpartnering. and everyone respects that. it's so awesome that nobody ignores that part of his character for a ship that kinda sucks. right.

#im not tagging this as anything fandom the last time i posted about xiaotian being aro coded i got a ship discourse blogger in my notes #and they were misinterpreting my post because DUH. thats what discourse bloggers do. they love being bad at reading. #'huhuhu romance being used in place of character development is ok when the characters influence each others development' i mean yeah. #thats not what i was saying. can you take this 3rd grade reading comprehension test rq for me please. #anyways if that blogger sees this #know that i based a shithead traumatized loser spidersona off of that interaction #they delete their discourse blog and it shows that theyve matured as a character #and they now have better priorities and theyre on the way to recovering from trauma #so. i hope that was blatant enough for you? #idk i can never tell whats too vague for discourse bloggers. you can never know how #uhm #theres no nice way to say this. you can never know how stupid a discourse blogger can be #there is always a new low! keep digging! (please dont. delete that damn blog and put that time and energy into like. #idk #fixing the roads in your city or something #or whatever problems are most prevalent in your area #anyways that individual was so fascinating. bro i am complaining about amatonormativity how do you not see that. ur apparently aroallo!
