#but a social media cleanse was needed

[kuuipobangtan]

Does anyone else remember when Jin and Jimin were bored and had a weird pose competition back in 2014?

And Jimin declared himself the winner but then Sope just…

Printed some fliers and stickers to put up around town tomorrow. Remember that posting isn't the only way to spread awareness and build public consciousness in your area

Going on the free-palestine side of the internet is so fucking crazy bcs while you’re supporting the movement to free palestiniens you’re also presented with ppl on the same side that says the israelians deserved every human rights violations being brought their way bcs palesteniens hv endured it for much longer as if that wld solve the problem

[bluesunsdusk]

--// Sorry for being quiet to most. I took a step back to relax and work on verses pages, of which I have too many to go through and I am feeling deep regret for being so in-depth on some after making it to yet another character with separate bios for some verses, and I realized not being active made me slightly more productive on more than just the verses.

I'll get back to people after eventually, but I need to preserve my focus and maintain my chill because I'm having some random stress problems as well. ))

From River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

-----

Edit 1: took the first video down because turns out the animator is a terf and it links to her blog. Really sorry for any distress.

Edit 2: All recommended readings + Haymarket recommendations + essential decolonization texts have been uploaded to my linked gdrive. I will adding more periodically. Please do buy or check them out from the library if possible, but this post was made for and by poor and gatekept Global South bitches like me.

Some have complained about the memes being disrespectful. You're actually legally obligated to make fun of Israeli propaganda and Zionists. I don't make the rules.

Edit 3: "The river to the sea" does not mean the expulsion of Jews from Palestine. Believing that is genocide apologia.

Edit 4: Gazans have specifically asked us to put every effort into pushing for a ceasefire instead of donations. "Raising humanitarian aid" is a grift Western governments are pushing right now to deflect from the fact that they're sending billions to Israel to keep carpet bombing Gazans. As long as the blockades are still in place there will never be enough aid for two million people. (UPDATE: PLEASE DONATE to the Gazan's GoFundMe fundraisers to help them buy food and get out of Rafah into Egypt. E-SIMs, food and medical supplies are also essential. Please donate to the orgs linked in the How You Can Help. Go on the strikes. DO NOT STOP PROTESTING.)

Edit 5: Google drive link for academic books folder has been fixed. Also have added a ton of resources to all the other folders so please check them out.

Edit 6: Added interactive maps, Jadaliya channel, and masterlists of donation links and protest support and of factsheets.

The twitter accounts I reposted as it was given to me and I just now realized it had too many Israeli voices and almost none of the Palestinians I'm following, so it's being edited. (Update: done!) also removed sources like Jewish Voices of Peace and Breaking the Silence that do good work but have come under fair criticism from Palestinians.

Edit 7: Complete reformatting

Edit 8: Complete revamping of the social media section. It now reflects my own following list.

Edit 9: removed some more problematic people from the allies list. Remember that the 2SS is a grift that's used to normalize violence and occupation, kids. Supporting the one-state solution is lowest possible bar for allyship. It's "Free Palestine" not "Free half of Palestine and hope Israel doesn't go right back to killing them".

Edit 10: added The Palestine Directory + Al Jazeera documentary + Addameer. This "100 links per post" thing sucks.

Edit 11: more documentaries and films

Edit 12: reformatted reading list

Edit 13: had to remove @palipunk's masterlist to add another podcast. It's their pinned post and has more resources Palestinian culture and crafts if you want to check it out

Edit 14 6th May '24: I've stopped updating this masterlist so some things, like journalists still left in Gaza and how to support the student protests are missing. I've had to take a step back and am no longer able to track these things down on my own, and I've hit the '100 links per post' limit, but if you can leave suggestions for updates along with links in either the replies or my asks I will try and add them.

Edit 15 10th August: added to Palestinian allies list and reworked the Help for Palestine section. There's been a racist harrassment campaign against the Palestinian Tumblrs that vetted the Gaza fundraisers based off one mistake made by a Gazan who doesn't understand English. If you're an ally, shut that shit down. Even if you donate to a scam GFM, you're only out some coffee money; if everyone stops donating to all the GFMs in fear of scams, those families die.

[gabu-mon]

I return

[solar-eclipsed]

After getting tiktok again after years (to my absolute pain and chagrin) for my friends (who I love dearly but oh god) it’s really nice to go back to tumblr where I can cater my own experiences and also fandom doesn’t have to be infuriating

[mylovelyrainblog]

Look at this lol. Are they any better than the Chinese government?

The hope isn’t in governments or politicians. It’s in People.

And people need free speech, free internet to strengthen the people.

So they are trying to take it away.

People, you Must Fight, and Win.

If you weren't Pro-Palestine already, I hope the fact that the US government is literally trying to censor people that don't agree with them opens your eyes

[barbarastreisandof]

Blocking out her name and picture to protect her from harassment, but this is a Palestinian journalist reporting out of Gaza who I've personally had contact with through Twitter.

Money and aid is not getting through. Crowdfunding is not helpful. Ordering things is not helpful. Buying keffiyehs that say the money goes to Gaza is not helpful.

Gaza is a concentration camp - nothing is getting in or out that Israel does not approve of and right now Israel wants people dead or dying.

Most of social media, and tumblr is no exception, skews toward "taking action" being things that put you at zero risk and only ask for money or bits of time, or sometimes just doing nothing and calling it a boycott. "Call your rep!" "Buy this thing!" "Share this link!"

The reality is that you get out what you put in and if it was easy and low risk and comfortable for you to do it, then that is the level of impact it is having - low, comfortable to ignore, and flimsy.

Palestine, Gaza and increasingly the West Bank, NEEDS real help and the reality is we do not have the power as individuals to give it.

We DO have the power to band together and influence things collectively and the best way to do that is to loudly unequivocally express our anger and clarity of purpose.

So that does mean calling reps and being polite and firm and brief and giving your real address because otherwise they can't confirm you're a constituent and they'll ignore you. "Hello, my name is ______ and I am calling as a constituent to demand representative/senator _______ support aid to Gaza and to call for an end to support for all support to Israel."

It is important that your support for Gaza include opposition to Israel - there is no supporting Gaza while supporting Israel, it genuinely is one or the other.

Tear down pro-Israel posters. Tear down those fake kidnapped propaganda posters. Show up to rallies and marches where you can and if you can't, find out who's organizing them and get in touch to offer your support and help. Talk to family and friends. LEARN! Read up on these things and teach yourself history so you can better advocate and push back on propaganda.

Be willing to have people not like you. Losing friends over this is, and I don't mean to be cold here, nothing. It doesn't matter. Fuck em. If advocating against genocide costs you friendships and gets people calling you antisemitic, fuck em, good riddance. Privately process the loss of those relationships if they really matter to you, but publicly don't give it air because this is not a time to be focused on the feelings of people who cannot bring themselves to oppose ethnic cleansing.

The culture is shifting, support for Palestine is growing and it NEEDS to continue and we have the power to make sure it does.

[perplexities]

noooo not ur tumblr bestie

lmaooo aw! i truly love y’all and this site the most of out of all (must be my literal mental illnesses) so it will be hard to give up but likeee. i NEED a cleanse

[prontaentrega]

Watching the palestinian genocide in real time thru social media is harrowing for a lot of reasons but then seeing zionists cry and throw up and shit themselves defending their settler colonial state when everyday you see dozens of donation posts from palestinians begging for the insane amounts of money they are being extorted for for the chance of escaping the genocide theyre living thru. And like that one fucking blog dedicated entirely to conspiring that a Palestinian tumblr user was actually racefaking when that person is one of the main people vetting and sharing donation posts and blogs. It's like the most insane convoluted form of bigotry and for what. how is a person doing that so harmful to you, person not being ethnically cleansed, that you feel the need to get them banned from the social media platform they use to help people fleeing the genocide? Is this what you choose to do with your free time. When there is people struggling to survive every day right next to you. I can't wrap my head around that level of inhumanity

[la7ma-mafrooma]

Allow me to say that celebrities are not really worthy of the huge amount of praise their fans give them when they do the bare minimum of posting a link for Palestine. These people have enough money in their accounts to last them a lifetime even if they lose job opportunities. You know who're the real brave ones? Average people who are trying to make ends meet with regular jobs, in the middle of economic crises and inflation, and they still do all that they can do to stand up for Palestine. Those people risk their jobs and risk getting blacklisted everyday. The students who are sacrificing their education and their future, the ones who are our future doctors, engineers, lawyers, teachers,...etc. are sacrificing it all to speak up about Palestine and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. I'm tired of those of you who overly-praise celebrities who are not worthy of such praise. These celebrities are adults, not babies.

Average people on social media barely have a decent platform, yet are trying their best to keep going and keep talking about Palestine. We need the boost from celebrities. Using a platform as big as an average celebrity's platform can do a lot for Palestine and Palestinians.

And please do not blindly defend your faves. I will block anyone trying to defend any celebrity that has either remained silent, stood with Israel, or posted once and called it a day. This is an ethnic cleansing we're talking about. We need to talk about Palestine today, tomorrow, and until Palestine is free!

Your morals and humanity should come first!

Low Energy/Effort Witchcraft

Are you perpetually busy? Never have any spoons? This might be the post for you. Note that not everything here may be considered low energy or low effort to everyone, and that's okay :)

Carry a crystal around based on what you need. I have a black tourmaline bracelet that absorbs negative vibes throughout the day. I stick it on a selenite slab when I get home to cleanse overnight, then rinse and repeat in the morning.

Put a bay leaf in your wallet to attract money. If you have time, draw a sigil or a $/£/€ on it.

Dedicate anything you drink to your deities if you have any. I dedicate water and black tea to everyone and my favourite raspberry tea to Hathor. Coffee is for Caim.

Enchant your pill case so you remember to take them on time. Enchant your pills to work efficiently. ("Anxiety begone. Ye be banished" on all of my anxiety pills ✌️)

Draw a sigil on your body wash bottle to remove bad vibes or carve a sigil in a bar of soap.

Enchant your moisturizer to repel the evil eye. I fucking love this one.

Incorporate colour magic into the socks you wear (Goths who wear hot pink socks, I'm looking at you).

Enchant your charger so it doesn't break and so you don't lose it. Enchant your phone too while you're at it.

Sorry, I love enchantments--

Uhhhhh

Match those big ol jar candles to different intentions. Burn a cedar candle to cleanse/banish. Burn a cinnamon candle to draw in prosperity. Burn a citrus candle to uplift mood. This one is fantastic for broom closet witches.

Got a humidifier? Fill it up with moon water. You're welcome ;D

Politely ask the spirits of your plants to ward your space. Feed two birds with one scone this way.

Witchy social media. Scrolling on Tumblr and learning something new about witchcraft counts as witchcraft imo. Saving tarot spreads from Instagram for later counts too. Making Pinterest boards for literally anything also counts.

Keep a digital grimoire if doing it on paper costs too many spoons. I have used Google docs & drive in the past but I currently use Notion (You can copy and paste this way!)

If you still want a physical grimoire, print your stuff out and stick it in a binder or glue it in your journal. Boom. Physical grimoire

Listen to witchcraft related videos in the background while you do other tasks or chores in your home

Preparing a meal? Toss in spices that correspond with good health and drawing in positivity, or any other intention you have

Enchant your glasses to help you focus and "read between the lines" or see what wants to remain hidden (this one is a lifesaver at my job)

I know some of you follow me because you listen to Big Soy Naturals, but if you aren’t a listener then you may not be aware of the fundraiser for a friend’s family in Gaza that we are trying to help meet its goal as soon as possible.

The Himdan family is displaced as a result of Wasrael’s attacks and are struggling to afford basic necessities like food, clean water, diapers and medicine.

Wasrael consistently blocks aid, and when aid does arrive, the IOF opens fire on Palestinians gathering to receive it, which makes these resources very scarce. We are lucky to have a listener audience large enough that if each person gave $3, the fundraiser would be complete before our next release, but I know not everyone has $3 to spare.

That’s why we’re going to make use of the collective power of all our communities’ reach and ask all of you to share this post and text the link to this gofundme to anyone you know with the means to donate even $3.

For as long as Wasrael occupies the land and attempts to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, we must see the suffering of our siblings in Palestine as our collective responsibility. We must believe in the need for their liberation to be as important as our own.

If you have over $1000 in your bank account, please donate just $5 to the fundraiser. If you have more to spare, that’s great, but small donations can make a huge difference if we all share the burden. If you can’t donate, you can help this fundraiser break out of the social media algorithm suppression chamber by sharing and interacting with this same post here and on our twitter and instagram.

Thank you for reading! Here’s the link to the fundraiser one more time. 🇵🇸 From the river to the sea, baby!! 🍉

hi hi! requesting fluff/comfort hcs for pomefiore with a permanently exhausted s/o working in the media please :) it’s v fast-paced as a job, involves a lot of late nights and draining my limited social battery

hope ur doing well btw! super love ur characterization of all the twst lads

I hope you're doing better anon!! I almost went into film and then didn't for this exact reason ;-;

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ media industry reader!

type of post: headcanons characters: epel, rook, vil additional info: romantic or platonic, reader is gender neutral, reader is not specified to be yuu

Epel is definitely the most concerned. he knows just how exhausting all that work can be, after all. and he knows that he can't talk you out of it (though he's definitely tried), and so, he's supportive! he's always there to wish you a good day with a snack and a word or two about kicking ass. and Sevens forbid anyone is too rude or too demanding- Epel could charm or fistfight just about anyone for you

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Rook is very supportive, but that doesn't mean he isn't watching your every move- I mean- always around to lend a hand! :) he knows when you're overworking yourself before even you do, and will quite literally handcuff you to him until you agree to take a break (health first, he says!) so, lots of love and pampering

*ੈ✩‧₊˚

Vil is right there with you. really, he understands. you're both busy people, so he makes the time to unwind with you. he really takes pampering to the next level; anything you need is yours. he'll treat you to a nice dinner, a cleansing skincare routine, maybe some shopping, and, of course, lots and lots of bitching and gossip about the industry. you just get each other!
