PALESTINE SCAMS IN DMS AND ASKS

I have seen several people promote GoFundMes in their asks like these for example:

These accounts spam their links in dms to Tumblr users (mostly artists who are more emotional and more vulnerable to manipulation) but these are likely not real, especially since Palestine has no internet right now

These accounts can claim to be verified by several different accounts that arent verifiable.

THESE ACCOUNTS ARE NOT ACTUALLY VERIFIED OR VETTED

you CANNOT verify these accounts as they often steal from actual victims of the genocide.

THESE ACCOUNTS WILL OFTEN USE SOCIAL ENGINEERING TO MAKE PEOPLE FEEL MORE URGENT AND LESS LIKELY TO THINK ABOUT TRUSTWORTHINESS

they use these stolen or fake stories and spam dms and asks of users of a certain number of followers (likely with bots). These accounts often use bots to target several people at once.

Palestine - What you need to know

I’m not one to talk about politics but over the years I have gained a large following and feel as though I need to start using my platform on this app for things worth talking about. I feel as though as an Arab myself I have failed the men, women, and children of Gaza because I have not used my voice to speak about the oppression happening in front of our eyes. My parents taught me to stand for what's right even if it means I stand alone. For the first time since mankind stepped foot on this earth, we are watching history in real time as it happens.

There is a difference between war and genocide. Palestine is still fighting despite the horrific tragedies they are facing and we as creators and citizens of any country can still take part in bringing education and awareness to the genocide, not situation; call it what it is GENOCIDE. Linked below are videos, originations and other content creators that can give and are giving ways to help those in Palestine. This is a good way to understand just how far back this genocide has goes. If you are unsure of what to do or exactly what is happening and why it’s wrong please use the links below. There are also videos and resources if you are looking to boycott brands who support Isrrael. You do not have to be Muslim or Arab to stand with those facing injustice. I do not care if I lose followers, from river to sea Palestine will be free. To stand with Palestine is to stand with Humanity. We must keep talking about this.

hi everyone!

I wanted to make this post because I've been getting a lot of asks and DMs about donating to various groups/people in relation to what's going on in Gaza.

First I wanted to say that what's happening is horrific, enraging, and harrowing. However, that being said, please do not send me DMs or asks asking for donations. I cannot verify who you are through a tumblr account, and it is important to me that donations go to the right place, and to people who need it.

For people who are asking for donations through my asks and DMs; please stop. This is a form of spam content. And again, I cannot verify who you are or where the money will go.

That being said, I encourage all of you to look at these resources to help Palestinians get the resources that they need!

Palestine Children's Relief Fund - Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), founded in 1991 by concerned humanitarians in the USA, provides free medical care to thousands of injured and ill children yearly who lack local access to care within the local health care system.

Islamic Relief USA - IRUSA has been working in Palestine for decades. Not only do we provide immediate emergency relief, but we work with our partners to implement long-term development programs that will help rebuild Palestine and bring hope to its people.

UN Relief Fund

Medical Aid for Palestinians - Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) works for a future where every Palestinian has access to a comprehensive, effective and locally-led system of healthcare, and the full realisation of their rights to health and dignity.

Does Candy-Flavored E-Liquid in Vapes Increase the Risk of Cavities?

Electronic cigarettes, or vapes, have gained significant popularity, especially among young adults and teenagers. In the US, many flavored vapes are officially banned, stating that these flavorful vapes are harmful to teens who are easily appealed. However, one concerning aspect of this trend is the increasing use of candy-flavored e-liquids. The question arises: Could these sweet flavors potentially lead to tooth decay? Keep reading; we will unveil the answer and offer comprehensive tips for you in the following paragraphs. Understanding Candy-Flavored E-Liquid To begin, let's break down what e-cigarettes are and how they operate. E-cigarettes are devices that heat up vape juice, known as e-liquid, to create a mist that users breathe in. This mist, or vapor, is what people inhale when they use an e-cigarette. What makes candy-flavored e-liquids appealing is that they taste like popular sweets that many of us enjoy. Now, let's talk about the ingredients in these candy-flavored e-liquids. They often contain artificial sweeteners and flavors to mimic the taste of candies, fruits, and other treats. These e-juice flavors might make vaping seem more fun and tasty. However, there's a catch – these sweeteners and flavors could contribute to the growth of bacteria in our mouths. You see when we consume sugary foods or drinks, bacteria in our mouths feed on the sugars. As they munch on these sugars, they produce acids that can harm our teeth. This acid attack is what can lead to cavities. And guess what? The same thing could be happening when people vape candy-flavored e-liquids. The sugars in the e-liquid might provide a feast for bacteria, just like sugary snacks. In other words, while candy-flavored e-liquids might taste delicious, they could be creating an environment in our mouths that isn't so friendly for our teeth. This is something we should consider when thinking about the impact of vaping on our oral health. Tooth Health and the Mechanism of Cavities Cavities happen when bacteria, acids, and teeth all meet up. The sugary stuff in candy-flavored e-liquid can become a feast for bacteria. This feast makes them produce acids, and these acids can eat away at the protective covering of teeth, called enamel. A special part of the brain, on the left side, helps us make decisions and sometimes break rules. This part might play a role in why some people get hooked on nicotine and also get more cavities. It's like a little sign that could run in families, making them more likely to get addicted and have cavities. Research and Evidence Although the study's results are in the early stages, they suggest a possible link between sweet e-liquids and cavities. Specifically, researchers like Dr. Karina Irusa have been exploring this connection. They found that many young people, especially teenagers, use e-cigarettes, with some even constantly vaping. This habit among teens is making experts concerned about what it could mean for their teeth. Effects on Tooth Health A study conducted by experts at Tufts University, including Dr. Karina Irusa, looked at adults who needed dental care, particularly those who were already at a higher risk for cavities. They discovered that among these patients, those who used e-cigarettes had a much bigger chance of getting cavities than those who didn't vape. This finding shows that vaping people might need special dental care, like strong toothpaste and mouthwash with extra fluoride.   Implications and Recommendations Another important thing the research showed was how the sticky stuff in e-cigarette aerosol might be a major reason why cavities could happen. When people use e-cigarettes, their mouths might become a perfect place for cavities to start growing. The problem could be even worse because e-cigarettes can change the balance of bacteria in our mouths. If we're not careful, this might lead to long-term problems with our teeth and gums. It's super important to make sure people know about these possible tooth problems from vaping. Tips for Protecting Your Teeth: Vapers and Non-Vapers Maintaining healthy teeth is important for everyone, whether you vape or not. Here are some practical tips to keep your smile bright and your oral health in check: For Vapers: - Choose Less Sugary E-Liquids:If you vape, opt for e-liquids with lower sugar content to reduce the risk of tooth decay. Less sugar means less fuel for cavity-causing bacteria. - Stay Hydrated:Keep a bottle of water handy while vaping. Drinking water can help wash away residue and maintain moisture in your mouth. - Practice Good Oral Hygiene:Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss regularly to remove lingering particles and prevent plaque buildup. - Limit Vaping Sessions:Reduce the frequency of vaping sessions to minimize exposure to e-liquids, which can potentially contribute to dental issues. - Visit the Dentist:Schedule regular dental check-ups to catch any dental problems early and get professional advice on maintaining oral health. - Be Mindful of Temperature:Avoid vaping e-liquids at very high temperatures, as it may impact the health of your teeth and gums. For Non-Vapers: - Maintain Oral Hygiene:Brush and floss regularly to avoid cavities and gum disease, even if you don't vape. - Balanced Diet:Eat a well-rounded diet rich in nutrients and low in sugary snacks and drinks to promote oral health. - Limit Sugary Drinks:Cut down on sugary beverages to lower the risk of enamel erosion and tooth decay. - Stay Hydrated:Drink water throughout the day to help cleanse your mouth and maintain saliva production. - Chew Sugar-Free Gum:Chewing sugar-free gum can aid stimulate saliva flow and protect your teeth from acids. - Regular Dental Check-ups:Visit your dentist for routine check-ups and cleanings to catch any dental issues early. - Use Fluoride Toothpaste:Brush with fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. - Protect Teeth During Sports:If you're active in sports, consider using a mouthguard to safeguard your teeth from injuries. - Avoid Smoking:If you smoke cigarettes, quitting can greatly improve your overall oral health. - Be Mindful of Teeth Grinding:If you grind your teeth, especially at night, consult your dentist for solutions to protect your teeth. Remember, taking care of your teeth is a personal responsibility that goes beyond policies. By following these tips, you can maintain a healthy smile and enjoy better oral well-being in the long run. Conclusion In conclusion, whether candy-flavored e-liquid increases the risk of cavities warrants further investigation. While the link between sugary e-liquids and cavities is plausible, more comprehensive research is needed. As the popularity of vaping continues to rise, it's essential to be mindful of its potential impacts on oral health and to encourage responsible usage practices. Read the full article

like changing bluebell characters ok, I have no idea why they changed Kamil to cam but Okay, but like. Why did they change the Japanese characters names.

Like Licorice to Reina I Get but I’m still glad XSeed kept her as licorice in SoS (same with Kamil)

But like. Why change Kiriku to Kana. Nana to Nori. CHIHIRO TO HIRO???? THAT ONE BAFFLES ME SO MUCH. WHY DID YOU THINK IT NECESSARY TO TAKE AWAY ONE (1) SYLLABLE FROM HIS NAME.

Not even just the love interests either like they changed Zuri to Mako and Irusa to Ina and SONA TO YUN???? FOR WHAT PURPOSE ARE YOU CHANGING JAPANESE NAMES TO OTHER JAPANESE NAMES

They did it in anb too like for what reason did you change Sengoku to Soseki besides making a pun with your company’s name.

Anyways I know this is all just a bunch of Natsume Moments but thank fuck Marvelous switched to XSeed for these games. I didn’t know what I was missing until it was in my hands.

playing a Natsume translated game for the first time in a while and I’m like wow. This sure is a Natsume translated game!
