This is my coworker and his wife after one dose of Pfizer. They were perfectly healthy adults before the jab but since then they haven’t been able to stop doing the Charleston. Please do your own research so you don’t end up like them 💔💔

Iman Al-Anqar is just 6 years old, suffering from osteoporosis that makes it difficult for her to walk. She is in desperate need of a brace for her foot. During a genocide like this, where people are internally displaced again and again and again, the ability to move is the difference between life and death. In addition, the bitter cold and lack of nutritious food increases Iman’s chances of a bone fracture. This is not something that the Al-Anqars, nor the struggling hospitals in Gaza, can afford right now.

The Al-Anqars are nearly at the 50% mark of their €20,000 goal. The Palestinians and their allies are in a perilous position: ceasefire talks are said to be progressing, but Trump’s imminent presidency puts all of this on a timer. This is not to say that a ceasefire won’t/can’t happen under Trump, but we know his position on Gaza, and for everyone’s safety, it is best we treat Jan 20th like a deadline for now.

€9,870/€20,000 - DONATE AND SHARE

The Al-Anqars are verified by GazaVetters, at #6 on the list.

A frustrating thing about Voyager that many people have discussed before is the way in which B’Elanna is seen by the characters and the narrative itself as inherently or naturally angry and aggressive regardless of her actual actions in relation to the actions of those around her. It would be one thing if the narrative itself questioned this assumption of the characters (including B’Elanna herself), but in fact the narrative generally supports this idea.

Obviously this whole concept falls very much into racist tropes in relation to Klingons in general, and for B’Elanna specifically, into racist stereotypes about Latina women. But even going purely based on her onscreen portrayal, I think it is genuinely an inaccurate reading of B’Elanna’s character to call her more angry or aggressive than the other characters around her, despite this clearly being the intention in a lot of episodes. If you actually pay attention to the behavior of other characters interacting with B’Elanna in situations where she is “angry”, it is often clear that treating her emotional and verbal reactions as indicators of some sort of inherently aggressive temperament makes no sense at all.

This is especially evident in many of her interactions with Tom. Here is one example from the episode “Night”:

In this scene, Tom describes B’Elanna as being angry “twenty-four hours a day” while B’Elanna says that everything is a joke to Tom. This is a common way for Voyager to represent the issues in B’Elanna and Tom’s relationship. The problems are supposedly caused by B’Elanna being angry all the time and Tom never taking things seriously. Tom, of course, is never irrationally angry and that could never contribute to their arguments. But if you actually pay attention to this interaction, it’s clear that Tom is at least as angry and aggressive here as B’Elanna is, if not more so. His “jokes” are intended as verbal attacks. To see this scene as indicative of B’Elanna’s inherently aggressive nature but not Tom’s is extremely questionable.

In isolation, this scene doesn’t indicate much, but when B’Elanna’s actions are continuously interpreted as indicative of some kind of innate aggression regardless of the context or how they relate to those around her, the bias becomes clear.
