#Zero hunger

[yessoupy]

In 2016, I taught Qasem how to fold a paper crane. His family is in Gaza (he is safe in Germany). His father is collecting funds that Qasem sends him each month to purchase food for those living in tents and on the street. Qasem's English is not the best, so the description as I post this isn't the best, either, but I will vouch for him.

All of these Palestinian students of mine I met while teaching about leadership and communication in Ireland. At the conference, their projects were ALWAYS about education and how to ensure Palestinian kids could get the best education possible. When they left, they had friends from America and Ireland. My goal was to, yes, foster a sense of leadership in them, but more importantly to have them leave with these friends and new connections, and to encourage them to keep in touch. I always offered myself as someone who would be happy to write a letter of reference, help them proofread an essay, give advice about education, etc.

Now, they reach out to me to help them raise money to save their people. I post here and every other platform and WISH these posts got the kind of attention that my 3am post about Amber Glenn got, or that stupid post that went viral. Every single fundraiser I post is one that I myself have donated to. I've spoken to the person who started the fundraiser, or their family member.

I am BEGGING you to help my students, their families, and their friends. If you can't donate, please just SHARE the link. Please.

Heba needs help getting her handicapped family member out of Gaza

Joslin needs help getting her family out of Gaza

Taleed is seeking help to get her family's business rebuilt, including paying employees while this war is happening

I'll end this plea with some gallows humor. Mohammed has been relatively lucky throughout this war and has had WhatsApp access nearly continuously. I've checked in with him at least once a week since October. This is our most recent 'check-in' exchange:

[radiant--as-the--sun]

do people really just wanna be fans of the hunger games and not mention palestine at all? like honestly? do you really wanna just support fictional uprisings and fighting back against fictional oppression but don't actually give a shit about it in real life? did y'all genuinely learn and internalize nothing from this series????

no you guys don’t get it; it’s so bad on tiktok. everyone on there is so insistent that foxface purposefully killed herself with the berries solely based off the two second clip in the movie (which wasn’t even identifying edible plants it was literally just matching).

like…… the whole point with foxface from the beginning was not to overestimate your competitors. when she talks about cato and foxface in the same passage she explicitly states that it’s just as dangerous to overestimate who you’re facing. in that she was thinking about how she might be overestimating cato’s intelligence, but then foxface goes and does the same with peeta. katniss constantly talked about how smart she was. she had made it to the final four solely off of taking from others just to keep herself alive. she had been doing it the entire games, but she trusted that peeta knew the berries he was grabbing. she probably didn’t even check to see what they looked like, because let’s be real. district five’s industry was ELECTRICITY. do you really think someone from the power district knows anything about edible plants? she saw the berries with the cheese and took some to fuel herself. because she assumed katniss and peeta were literally about to eat them. why on earth would she kill herself when she was three people away from winning? and if she knew they were poisonous and assumed katniss and peeta were about to eat them, she would’ve been final two. she could’ve waited for them to eat the berries, take katniss’s bow and arrows, and she would’ve had at least a fighting chance against cato. not to mention all the other districts HATE THE CAREERS. if she knew they were poisonous, decided to kill herself, and assumed katniss and peeta were going to eat them, that would’ve left cato as victor. there was no one else. she did not know they were poisonous. she overestimated peeta’s intelligence. it’s saying being stupid is dangerous for everyone.

I’ve been seeing so many people theorizing that Prim’s name was the only one in the reaping bowl and I completely and whole-heartedly disagree. Prim getting reaped despite having her name in the bowl once is meant to show the cruelty of the games and the system. There is no guarantee that one will not be reaped—not even having the lowest of odds. That is the whole point. Katniss is not the “chosen-one”. Katniss was just a random girl who accidentally became more.

seven sentence sunday

oh hi everyone it's me. haven't really been writing much recently just small self-indulgent things, but slowly working on the buddie mockingjay au again so that is what i have for you today. the goal is to get it done before s8 so fingers crossed. thank you for all the tags this week i really appreciate it! thanks today to @spotsandsocks @devirnis @sibylsleaves @eddiebabygirldiaz for today (also maybe someday ill finish the presumed missing fic but today is not that day)

Now he needs to become their leader, the face, the embodiment of the revolution — the Mockingjay. Sometimes he wonders if they forget that he’s only seventeen years old. “We need the Districts to know that you are alive and well,” Abby adds when Sue finishes her pitch, “to unite them against our common enemy.” Eddie lets it sit for a moment, his fingers twitching to reach for the pearl burning a hole in his pocket. “No.” He finally says. Neither look surprised by his answer, in fact Sue looks downright determined, like she’s finally found a challenge worthy of her game making abilities.  “Eddie,” she says in a voice that’s supposed to be calm and soothing, but it grates at his nerves, “the Districts are only going to rally behind someone that started this revolution.” “Then you should have saved Buck!” Eddie yells, hand slamming down onto the table.

it's probably late to tag but @shortsighted-owl @colonoscopys @monsterrae1 @loserdiaz @hoodie-buck @weewootruck
