URGENT: DONATIONS NEEDED, PLEASE SHARE $14,686/$65,000 AUD (22.58% funded)

Bashar Inshasi from Gaza has held a dream of pursuing medicine since childhood. The occupation making greater need for doctors and medical professionals in Gaza only compounds this. Bashar is a scholar of medicine, even ranking second in the country. However, the occupation destroyed their homes, universities, and even dreams along with them. It caused more injuries and disabilities in the population, creating an even greater need for treatment.

Unable to continue in the path of medicine, or even life itself, Bashar greatly needs financial help in order to evacuate Gaza.

Border fees to enter Egypt are steep, and Bashar will need to cover for living and residential expenses, along with tuition.

Please donate and share this with whoever you can! Supporting Bashar can help further the education, in order to return to Gaza and bolster the health system— helping the population of Gaza as a whole.

Don't scroll, please view the link and read Bashar Inshasi's story there.

Also, if you have an Instagram account, you can check with Bashar (basharinshasi) and the fundraiser organizer Darina Bishop (darina.bishop) for validity concerns.

Was forced to watch a truly incredible (derogatory) thing recently.

A young person on twitter, adamant that transandrophobia doesn't exist on the grounds that 'no one is killing/raping/assaulting trans men'.

Several people responded, including some linking articles about murders and assaults on trans men and a couple op-ed style pieces of trans men talking about their own experiences.

Said young person responded with "I'm not reading those its triggering and I'm a minor"

So let me see if I've got this correct, you are knowingly refuse to acknowledge reality because it's upsetting to you and then you're going to turn around and deny that very reality because you refuse to acknowledge it because it's upsetting?

How do you feel about the idea of vampires using blood bags and donor blood to sate their bloodthirst rather than drinking directly from living people? Cause its seen in a lot of more recent vampire stories as a “ethical/safer” alternative to feeding on people directly to make the vampire characters seem more sympathetic cause their “not hurting someone directly”. Personally i see it as horrid idea, a “road to hell pathed in good intentions” kinda thing. Bringing up awhole lotta ethical dilemmas around how this blood is acquired and used. Cheifly in that this blood could be used to save human lives rather then sate vampires hunger. Among several other ethical and logistical issues which could probably make interesting stories of their own.

I think that depends completely on the kind of world the vampire operates in.

Is this a world in which it is possible for the vampire to explain to an open-minded human what the situation is and obtain their informed consent to be bitten and fed on? And is it possible to do so safely and without (permanently) harming them? In that case doing that would probably be the most ethical solution to the need for blood.

But if its a world in which a vampire’s two options are “steal blood that has been collected from humans” or “attack and overpower a human to feed on them (even non-fatally)” then I honestly cannot fathom how the latter would ever be seen as the more ethical choice. How could taking (even stealing) something freely donated to be given to those in need of blood ever be worse than the violent assault of another person?

Of course, the traditional idea of a vampire is that they are monsters, parasites, their entire existence and need for blood is meant to be unnatural and, I guess, unethical. But stories that introduce the “drink bottled blood” solution are usually showing vampires trying not to harm people. The logistics and ethics of that solution are usually also a subject of debate. From the questionable: in Only Lovers Left Alive the vampires bribe a blood bank employee who is clearly making a lot of money off of them. To the horrific: in Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines the blood bank is run by the ghoul of a powerful vampire and it turns out he tops up the supply by kidnapping people off the street.

But if we think of a normal blood bank ran by normal medical professionals, who have dedicated their time and effort to helping people. Why would they not want to help someone with a permanent dependence on blood? I do not think for a moment they wouldn't notice if blood suddenly went missing without explanation. Of course they’d notice. And they probably wouldn’t be pleased. But I also think they would infinitely prefer their blood supply being stolen, to having to use it in emergency transfusions on a slew of traumatised, terrified people bleeding profusely from the neck after being dragged into a dark alley by an unseen assailant.

Now, if you ask me what would be the most ethical thing to do? Strike a deal with a blood bank or hospital to get the blood they are going to have to dispose of. In general the medical world is always eager for more blood donors, not because there is never enough, but because blood does not store well. Sadly, a lot of it goes off before it can be used. So why not make sure it fulfills its intended purpose to help and heal anyway?

But even if none of that was possible, if vampires had to remain in the shadows, and the blood bags had to be stolen. I would personally prefer to donate my blood and have it stolen, than be dragged into the dark.

Wire, can unicorns be turned vampires?

Yep! Though they weren't often turned throughout history, especially as their population diminished.

Their blood out of any race's was considered the most delicious, and the more of them that were vampires, the less unicorn blood there was to go around for the others.

Maybe I did this to myself but it does irk me when people see me knitting and they ask who it’s for and I say it’s for me and the immediate reaction is “you should sell it” yeah… let me spend at least a week’s worth of my free time making an item I like, want, and would wear just to sell it on etsy, making at most a £2 profit on materials and not being compensated for my time whatsoever 👍🏻
