Hello dear people
I am Nabila from Gaza,, I am 64 years old ,,
speaking to you with a heavy and painful heart. I am sorry that I had to ask for help from you, but what we are living is what pushed me to do this. I was living a beautiful, quiet life, enjoying the time I spend with my grandchildren and seven daughters.
Imagine waking up to find that your world has changed in a moment, and you have lost your security and peace, and your home has been destroyed, and you have become homeless and living in conditions that no human being can bear. I suffer from chronic diseases, high blood pressure and diabetes. My medication has run out for some time and I am facing difficulty in obtaining it in light of the lack of treatment in hospitals and health centers. Most of the time I cannot feel my limbs, but I am trying to resist. I do not want to die in such circumstances. I still have hope that this war will end and we will rebuild our beautiful and beloved country again and live in safety. I believe in divine power and justice and that all this pain will go away.
I am trying to endure these difficult conditions that I live in inside a small tent and a bathroom a few meters away from my tent and you know the conditions of diabetics in this case but once again there is still hope. I used to live at the expense of my daughters but with all sadness and regret they have all lost their homes and places of work and they have no source of income left and their situation is like that of any Gazan who is still inside Gaza struggling with death, hunger, diseases and extreme heat each one struggling to feed his children I cannot ask them for help so I have resorted to you and I am fully confident in your humanity to help me so that I can provide food and treatment and provide a better tent than the one I live in because it is torn and the place is full of insects. If I can provide treatment, I want to continue my life and see my grandchildren grow up around me. I don’t want to go now. I know that I don’t have as much life left as I have, but I have the right to live and enjoy this. Please don’t hesitate to help your mother who has come to you with a heavy and sad heart. Every dollar will make a difference in my life. Don’t leave me to live this pain. I appreciate what you are doing for every Palestinian inside and outside Gaza. I pray to God that you don’t go through what we are going through, my beloved.

i think there is something to be said about the way a lot of popular western media (both within fiction and outside of it, now that i think about it) uses the pretense of nuance to obfuscate existing power dynamics.
the example i'm mulling over at the moment is netflix's Arcane, which depicts a pretty straightforward conflict between a brutally oppressive ruling class and an underclass that is out gunned, out manned, and lacks even the means to support its own population. despite this, the show takes a very even-handed "everybody's flawed" approach to how it portrays this conflict, one that seems to be increasingly popular in popular western media. this makes for a compelling story, the show takes the time to make sure we understand all the characters involved, their motivations, their flaws, their hopes, their dreams etc, but i think when people engage with that kind of narrative uncritically, they tend to miss the forest for the trees and get lost in pointless debates over which characters were more in the right or who's actions were more justified by their trauma etc. this kind of weightless, individualist approach seems to always lead to the same conclusion: that changing society is scary and traumatic and everybody is too flawed to be trusted with leading such a shift. how convenient that this always seems to benefit those already in power.
i'm thinking about this in regards to the reactions to the latest developments in the story of Arcane, which sees caitlyn supporting a military dictatorship, in part as a response to the trauma of losing her mother in jinx's terror attack. the reactions are pretty typical fandom discourse about whether or not her actions are understandable given what she's going through as a character, but what no one seems to be considering is that she's only able to undergo this change in the first place because of her class position, not just as a member of the wealthy elite of the overcity, but also as a respected member of the overcity's law enforcement. see, while the individual characters involved might be complex, the moral dimensions of the overall conflict really are not. one side has all the power and resources, as well as a vested interest in keeping the other side subjugated to maintain its dominant status quo. just because the dominant side is populated primarily with skinny attractive people a who're shown to be doing their best with the situation and the other are mostly grotesque caricatures of poverty stricken degenerates doesn't mean this is a difficult choice.
it remains to be seen how the actual show will play out, but i can't help but see it as continuing a trend of what i can only describe as a kind of smug liberal nihilism, crafting a brutal class conflict only to revel in the horrific spectacle of it all, basking in the complex moral greyness of its protagonists, uninterested in taking an actual stance. there's a point when nuance becomes a form of cowardice, imo

Some out of context, unused takes from our recording session with Anairis Quiñones, who is voicing Aika in the pilot!
Can't wait for y'all to hear more than just this one line. And also what this one line is for in context haha.

arcane s2 spoilers i guess but my favorite caitlyn moment in this season by far is her conversation with vi when she's trying to convince her to be an enforcer. like immediately vi rejects that and says something like "u want me to be an enforcer? after what they did to my parents? do you understand how that feels?" and CAITLYN'S response is just a perfect showcasing of her misunderstanding of the system. like this is right after she lost her mother to jinx so her response is something like "yes i do". like caitlyn believing that she has been personally victimized by the system through jinx's act of rebellion the same way vi has by losing her parents to enforcers. which is just objectively not true because the violence of jinx and silco and zaun in general will never be state sanctioned. like an enforcers job is to weild violence FOR the state to enforce the status quo and oppress those at the bottom. which is why vi's parents died while they were Rebelling against the state. And we literally see this state sanctioned violence in action when we See caitlyn and vi decide to literally poison the underground. like fundamentally jinx's rebellion is so so different to that but caitlyn is unable to see it because she thinks that all of the violence being enacted is equal in its power, which it isnt. and i think its just such a good moment to show that not even rlly slow slide into fascism by her

Ekko is literally the BIGGEST advocate for the undercity and the one that’s actually been helping people and the fact that he’s never brought into conversations about undercity activism and the fact that I’ve seen more people giving Jinx, Vi, Silco, and even CAITLYN credit for trying to help and better their lives is so??
I guarantee if Ekko was a white boy you guys wouldn’t ignore or forget about him as much
#honest to god who is giving anybody credit before ekko#he is the only one actually helping ppl tangibly#i love every character but i also watch the show and everybody else is too busy#with their messy personal lives#ekko??? kid's been orphaned at least once and he grew up with his old friends dead#or jailed#or grown into someone warped and unrecognizable#and he's still just doing his best#no one is doing it like him#arcane

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.
This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

"it's her blood in your veins" is so essentialist. You know how oppressors categorize the people they oppress as less than them, as animals? This is textbook fascism, which is actually fascinating regarding Caitlyn's arc.
She was born in a very wealthy and influential family in position of power which allowed her to exercise a certain care-free, almost naive desire to see the world, just like a child whose presented with toys. I do not doubt for a second she thinks the people of Zaun suffered because of the society she is a product of, Vi is the perfect example of "you are not like them", which in season 1 was the cataclysm to her empathy, and indubitably the crumbling of any shred of compassion the moment she is personally attacked.
Her mother died, which is atrocious, but countless mothers died in Zaun against Piltover and the complete disregard it had towards Zaun's population. How many mothers died by enforcers? By chemicals' exposure? How many little girls lost their mom?
Caitlyn grief is emblazoned and coated in the privilege she was born into, reinforcing the idea she grew up with, that people of Zaun will not hesitate to eat her alive if they could, that's why she violently rejects Vi. They are all the same, it's in their nature. Caitlyn's anguish is in part grounded in discrimination.
#arcane#caitvi#caitlyn kiramman#honest to god loving the direction theyre taking her in#because tbh “sheltered rich girl with a saviour complex” is. annoying to me as a trope half the time#but to then have her getting pipelined into fascism? amazing#honestly realistic in a way thats harrowing to see

If you voted, can you also share ( @freepaleatine95 ) Marah's story? Her family is living under dangerous conditions in Gaza where they are at risk from the bombings and other attacks. Everyday is a struggle and Marah hopes her family will not be starved. They've raised $53,175 / $70,000 as of now. Even just a small donation or one reblog can help.

Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.

please think of the disabled people of gaza. please think of the diabetic people of gaza. please think of the neurodivergent people of gaza. please think of those whose lives are relying on medicine that has either stopped coming in due to the blockade, or is available in such scarcity that its price has skyrocketed.
we're approaching winter. on top of the challenge of securing waterproof tents and sufficiently warm clothing, some diabetic people in gaza have stopped taking their insulin as they can no longer afford it. those who are able to acquire it for now know every shot may be their last.

honestly knowing what i do about viktor's character in league of legends i was kinda expecting him to continue experimenting on himself with the hexcore but the twist that it was jayce who used it on him to change his body and save his life was so good. and like obviously jayce was never going to let viktor die. there was no better solution in that situation. but doing so also robbed viktor of his autonomy, autonomy that he's struggled with both as a disabled person and as a citizen of the undercity who had to work his way up to be in piltover
jayce couldn't have known what he was doing because viktor kept his experiments a secret from him. he didn't know that the experiments had already killed sky and permanently scarred viktor. and he also can't understand why viktor was so upset by this decision because he isn't from the undercity and he's always been the golden boy of piltover. that isn't to say that he hasn't had to work for his success, but he hasn't seen the hardship that viktor has so he doesn't get it
#arcane#arcane s2#arcane spoilers#jayvik#not only that but also jayce naturally assuming that viktor would be on the side of piltover#dude forgot his boyfriend is from zaun AGAIN#jayce creating more hex tech weapons on top of that....#hex tech that is used for the invasion of against zaun#while viktor's first actions after resurrection is to heal the damage zaunites have gone through#of course they split apart#they were already apart#the love was there but it wasnt the understanding either of them needed#which is to say.#rip and welcome back jesus 2024

Not hating caitlyn, not loving caitlyn, but a third secret thing
(Deranged obsession where I need to see her brought down to her lowest and most pathetic self before slowly growing into a more balanced person)
#to be clear i think she fucking sucks but that's whats interesting about her#acab and caitlyn is really making me feel it tonight#girlie pop u have a hot butch fawning over u and begging u not to fall in ur darkest impulses and u do not fumble so much as#chuck that possibility of not becoming ur worse self away as fast as u can#incredible. i need to see her suffer and struggle and be so very fucking conflicted#i want a child to flinch away from her and her have a moment of recalibration before she ultimately chooses to sink into what she is#and then maybe get piss drunk after or bury herself in work#i need to caitvi to get worse together ❤️#caitlyn kiramman#arcane#arcane spoilers#arcane season 2
