Ok ladies and gentlemen, i would like to say that i am a sweettoother (fav. shipping), and i am pretty sure its not healthy to fangirl over this shipping as well as others this much. I also ship lokianna, kirstoffanna, jackelsa, and tiananveen....like i said not healthy. Anyway, i enjoy writing fanfic for these shipping's as well as drabbles for the over all movie. I'm still building up on my writing but trust me i'm working on it. Feel free to ask me anything, i don't mind lending a hand. Oh, and feel free to fangirl here!
"The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.). In Haitian folklore, for instance, zombies do not physically threaten people; rather, the threat comes from the voduon practice whereby the sorcerer (master) subjugates the individual by robbing the victim of free will, language and cognition. The zombie is enslaved."

To those with compassionate hearts and a spirit of humanitarian giving,
I write to you today with a heavy heart and indescribable sorrow. I have lost my father in this cruel war that has left us with nothing but destruction and ruin. The pain did not stop at the loss of my father; the tragedy extended to claim the lives of my brother's daughter and my sister's daughter, who found no escape from the fires of war.
Today, my family is living a harsh reality. Our home was completely destroyed, and all we have left is a portable tent under which we live, facing extreme weather conditions and difficult days. Life has become harder than ever, and the simple shelter we cling to does not provide us with the minimum safety or comfort.
We appeal to your kind hearts and all the humanity within you to extend a helping hand by donating to the relief campaign we are trying to launch to save my family from this ongoing suffering. Every donation, no matter how small, will help alleviate our plight and restore some hope to us.
We urgently need assistance, not only to secure a shelter to protect us from the cold of winter and the heat of summer, but also to regain some of the dignity we have lost in these harsh conditions.
We hope to see a glimmer of hope in your donations that will light our dark path.
People making post to (rightfully) mock zionists are getting more interactions than the ones on fundraisers. That's great that you are laughing at them but what are you actually doing to help their victims? How much times do palestinian have to wait for you to start caring? Do you need to see another beheaded baby to start donating or is it just performative?
I can't believe than even after posting about the shootings my friend Shahed and her family survived and her showing the BULLETS that got in their house (not the first time it happened) people barely gave attention to her posts and donations are getting even slower. Only 3 in one day.
If I can't post for a day I feel like people on tumblr will forget her and abandon her campaign. And frankly I don't have much hope that people will act to help her get to her goal, be it short or long term.
If you can't donate then please at least share her posts @drshahd and @shahdhatem, make your own posts to reach more people, send her fundraisers to people you know or tag them. Just please do something !
I don't know what to do and what more to tell you to get to act.
Trope of the day is... realizing they've basically been in a relationship for a while now.
Perfect for that married couple in the friendgroup that isn't actually a couple yet. They often find out about it because more and more people act confused when they say they're not actually a couple. Even people they've known for years think they've been dating all along.
