people who actively chose to not vote i hope you know you are in fact equally as responsible if this turns out the way we're all worried about. bystanders are always equally as complicit.
#im not tagging this but im still turning off rbs for this just in case but i have a lot more to say tomorrow !#i am so tired. im so done. im so stressed out. fucking hell dude#tldr: thinking you have to kiss the very ground someone walks on in order to vote for them is STUPID.#politicians are NOT for you no matter what they say. respecting them does NOTHING to benefit you or anyone#but rolling over bc you dont feel like it and therefore letting the guy who EAGERLY wants it to be SO much worse step in?#thats YOUR fault. YOU helped make that happen just as much as the people behind him. bystanders are always equally as complicit.#im sorry im really really angry.

hi! sorry this isnt an ask for your main (im shy) but i wanted to spotlight a campaign but im not exactly sure how? as in, do i just place it in my pinned and rb the fundraiser link often? also, would you happen to know any fundraisers that are not yet spotlighted, so that i can give one of them a boost? thanks :)
hi sorry i turned off anons to prioritize fundraisers there!
there’s no real tutorial on how to spotlight a fundraiser but what many of my friends and i have been doing is basically:
choosing a fundraiser, making posts about it detailing any important information (the vetting, the amount of money, what the family is going through, how many people the fundraiser will fund, what the funds will be allocated towards, whether or not there’s any raffles with the fundraiser), and either reblogging the post(s) with updates every few hours or making new posts about the fundraiser every few hours. we also use the queue features for hours when we’re not online which can be helpful.
if you have the capability to, i recommend actively reblogging with updates and using the queue since i’ve noticed that it tends to help more since you’re reblogging it more constantly.
most of the time my friends will keep the same post for a few days and then when it stops gaining traction, switch to making a new post. if we’ll campaigning for a fundraiser that’s being spotlighted /featured on another blog, we’ll also add on to that post with any updates we see fit. this includes blogs from palestinians!!
don’t be afraid to tag people!!!! especially if they tag you! they most likely won’t mind being tagged :) of course please don’t tag palestinians with their own campaigns tagging you when the campaign your spotlighting has nothing to do with them but fjhdjdhs. i personally encourage tagging me (preferably through my main).
length of post is difficult to determine because unfortunately people will scroll past it if it’s too long. i like to keep mine as concise as possible but i’ve seen many successful spotlighted campaigns with long posts detailing life before this nakba and introducing the family members. i personally think the most important thing is to keep the vetting and fundraiser at the top of the post so it’s one of the first things people see.
now some warnings. i’m sure you’ve already considered some of these but just in case:
there may be accounts from assholes who will reply to your posts and accuse you of being a scammer or just say awful racist shit. i haven’t seen the sock puppet accounts in a while but there’s definitely still people convinced gaza’s fundraisers are a scam.
if the person you are spotlighting has a tumblr account, they may be terminated or shadowbanned. you’ll know if you can’t message them, find their blog through tumblr search, or see them in any notifications. shadowbanning in particular can be really shitty for palestinians because it prevents their posts from being as visible as possible. you’ll have to put extra care into these.
you may get an influx of asks from palestinians if you have your inbox open. you’ll have to check and see if the accounts are vetted anywhere by going through the notes of their posts and searching their url into tumblr search (make sure to check the link on any spreadsheet to ensure that they match the link on the blog) and whether or not their photos aren’t taken from the internet (via reverse google images/tineye). i also try to make it clear as to whether or not someone is vetted. ex: if a fundraiser i’m reblogging hasn’t been vetted yet i’ll tag that information. if i’m adding an addition to the post, i’ll put the fact that it has yet to be vetted in the reblog.
you may also get an influx of mentions/replies from other blogs spotlighting/featuring fundraisers. again, you’ll have to check the verifications for these/RiS etc. sometimes you will get invisible asks because these blogs have been shadowbanned.
please focus your attention on a limited amount of fundraisers. it’s awful having to make the decision but it also means you won’t get overwhelmed as easily. limiting the amount of spotlighted fundraisers will also mean more traction to the fundraisers.
there will be graphic images sometimes. hearing these accounts is horrifying and can be emotionally taxing especially because you know you’re often only being told this because of people’s apathy towards palestinians. they need people to care for them. it’s horrifying the lengths they have to go through to get there but it’s unfortunately necessary. please don’t hold ill will against them for it.
and off there are many fundraisers in need of boosts and spotlighting ones being spotlighted never hurt but if you’re looking for ones that aren’t being spotlighted: a while back northgazaupdates asked if a bunch of people if they had any capability to make a post about suad (@/khaled-mother) who has been vetted by nabulsi here. from what i can tell there’s been a few posts but i don’t believe there’s anyone actively spotlighting her campaign. @/amjadshiltawu has also been on my watch list for when one of the campaigns i’m monitoring has been finished. his blog has been shadowbanned and as a result, his campaign is slowing. even prior to this, his campaign was rather slow. i don’t think there’s anyone actively spotlighting his campaign other than manually checking his blog and adding updates to his posts that way.
if you want to give a boost to one that most likely doesn’t have any traction, your best bet will be to check either the operation olive branch spreadsheet or the vetted fundraiser spreadsheet by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi. the OOB spreadsheet in particular has several in need of attention, especially since there’s very few people on tumblr who go to that masterlist for fundraisers to spotlight.
ty for your interest and ty for the ask :) <3 please let me know if you have any other questions/concerns. obviously please take my words as more of a suggestion than a full on guide. no one’s an expert at this and there’s both plenty of room for mistakes and growth. we’re all just trying our best to help and believe me, this is helping.
#asks#hope you’re having a lovely day! sorry this is a bit long but i wanted to make sure you had a lot to draw upon#again please don’t take this as a definitive ‘how to’. i’m by no means an expert.

I love watching videos on the downfall of Bendy and the Ink Machine and hearing about how the games were full of missed opportunities and how the developers mismanaged everything and the company is dying 💖💖💖💖
#im watching chris portals follow up to his original video from a couple years ago#i have two hours left but oog hes talking about mike moods remark on how there wont be minority characters in the games#and then theres the novel (written by a different author but still) which has a jewish mc whos friends with multiple women and a black man#like i used to be obsessed when it first came out and i got to watch my interest and the game die in real time. its just so funny#anyways im turning off rbs in case this ends up in the tags for the game and someone who still likes the series gets mad at me for this#i hate the devs the game is sooo mediocre and the next isnt gonna be good thats all have a good night or day

*sits down in your inbox* hi can i hear your hcs about the 5 eccentrics as individuals + as a group bc the tags of that rb interested me
pls
hi this took a bit to answer bc i spent forever trying to come up with these im kinda bad at hcs but i hope theyre still to ur liking! it did get kind of long though oops.....
alsooo cw addiction, light mentions of an eating disorder, and general mental illness things because these are not all super light hearted
rei - okay starting off with what I mentioned in the tags but I think he may have old addiction issues from before 3rd year and maybe before from being in a very stressful situation (kind of his whole life rlly being a head of like 2 cults but the war def amplified his stress), the Mental Illness(tm), and often being in bar scenes to perform idk what kind but! he’s probably over them now and he doesn’t like his friends talking about drinking or inviting him out bc bad feelings
- after the effects of the war he pulls away from all of his friends that’s like. canon but during !! i like to think he gets closer with people again slowly (mainly bc of kaoru helping him open up but that’s a rant for another time), and he sometimes uses his friends as pillows </3 it’s his way of showing he trusts them
- he still hangs out in graveyards bc he’s a weirdo /affectionate he’ll go there and pay respects and care for graves that seem to be abandoned and then read quietly if no one’s around so that the dead doesn’t feel lonely
- not cis at all but he doesn’t care for gender he just likes being cute sometimes and edgy other times (an old vampire like him can’t be bothered with modern gender norms /j)
- he’s such a nerd he can tell you about the entire chronological history of any country or generally any school subject but if his phone dies he’s crying to kaoru that he doesn’t know how to turn it back on…… he knows so many things but also!!!! nothing
shu
- he finds swearing unsightly but he also knows a lot of French swear words that he uses and no one catches him on it
- not necessarily shu but madonee likes sharing shus secrets because she loves the drama
- he keeps detailed teacups and fancy tea sets in the handicraft room bc even tho he hates guests he LOVES to show hospitality and will only have the best for his guests
- he sleeps in one of those dreamy canopy princess beds
- i have a shuP friend who feeds me lore and it seems like madonee is implied to be an introject of kuros mother (from before she died) and I feel like sharing that in case you didn’t know!
- i like to think he likes taking care of people a lot in !! and maybe it’s meant to be atonement for how he was in the past or perhaps it’s just the mothering side of him he picked up on from kuros mom (before the war and madonee even) and so when his close ones are upset he likes to be the first to be there to support them and make sure they’re well
kanata
- im. torn because i think he’s autistic but one of my special interests is psychology and i know that he’s probably just like that because of a severe lack of socialization and stunted social development and all of his specific trauma but also. immediately after i got into enstars I was like wow!! hes like me!! so do with this information as you will
- he likes mothering not just humans but (non land) animals so even if he doesn’t enjoy his family he enjoys working at the aquarium for the animals and he sometimes babysits shinobus frogs but with humans even he likes mothering and taking care of his juniors as much as he can, when people joke he’s like chiakis wife he doesn’t mind it at all
- he’s very touch starved and loves hugs from his friends randomly or cuddling (his dorm is all bestys and they platonically cuddle just bc they all need a little extra love </3)
- he wants to be close with madara again but he doesn’t know how to (and he’s a little scared of being hurt/mama leaving again) so he tends to just push mama away but sometimes, mama comes to him injured and knows kanata will take care of them. they never talk about those moments but kanata appreciates the trust mama puts in him
- he likes sugar a lot he never got it growing up and now he just has stashes of sugary treats
- chiakis parents love him he makes their son so happy (in a ship or non-ship way either works) and even if at first it was. hard to get used to the “hey my besty is a ex cult leader who doesn’t know how to be human” they love him and want to smother him in parental affection
wataru
- i think it’s implied in some stories ? but if not i like the idea that he’s from america (or some other english country) he probably wasn’t actually found in a river like he says just. hiding the fact that he was from an orphanage but i think he started trying to become an idol not just because of “genius from birth” like some others but more. because he wanted to prove he was worth something and wouldnt be tossed to the side
- he likes wearing his friends clothes (he steals all of eichis sweaters mostly) because they make him feel loved and wanted for more than just his skills as a performer
- i wrote a fic about this once based on some vague references in stories but he? just doesn’t eat and im fairly certain it’s not an eating disorder i think he views life as his stage as a performer and eating during the “performance” isn’t allowed but the exceptions tend to be a) his day off! a boy needs to rest and he’ll happily eat with fine on eichi day no problem and b) if someone offers him food, he can’t say no, because it’s the script for this play (life. the play is life dude u have issues)
- i think he’d find dancing relaxing like ballet or ballroom dance he finds it a nice way to ease his stress especially if he gets to be near someone he trusts (and he doesn’t trust a lot of people)
- he has joint/muscle pain constantly u can’t take this hc away from me he’s overworking himself and constantly in plays/performing on stage there’s no way he’s always in peak physical condition (ignoring how he can dislocate his own joints. u good dude?)
- he likes collecting weird things like plants and books he probably won’t ever read and ugly shirts that he won’t wear in public and idol merch of his friends bc he’s horrible with his money and theoretically eichi would buy him literally anything but he feels baaaaad and wants to earn things himself
- gender doesn’t exist! wataru does not need a gender his gender is [ ]
natsume
- the trans guy of all time (not even inspired by his backstory of dressing like a girl I know why that was but I think he’s still just so very trans regardless of that)
- he’s. a very sad individual i would think he likes to push away his emotions as a defense mechanism but he needs a hug
- wannabe emo he constantly has accessory chains jingling with every step bc edgy
- he’s probably got a caffeine addiction and I don’t mean that in the quirky way I mean he’s like. nocturnal stays up all night doing witchy stuff but is still expected to go to school in the morning
- his parents have issues but that’s not what this is about but i think he’s very attached to them especially his mom that’s like canon but sometimes if the stress of his life is building up he’ll go stay with them for a weekend instead of the dorms just
- his wiki lists that he likes piercings but he. doesn’t have any i think he’s afraid of needles so he likes to give piercings to other ppl instead because he would probably faint if you even implied the idea of him getting a piercing
as a group!
- okay so I said some stuff abt a few individuals but none of them are cis actually. this is up to interpretation but none of them are
- bi-weekly outings to cafes (shu joins via video call if he’s not in japan)
- it’s. a little rough after the war can’t sugar coat things rei hardly lets anyone close to him and they all collectively stopped trusting wataru (im eternally left trying to figure out how the heck he went from being enemies with them to friends again in like. a month) but they’re getting better!
- emotional support system! they all love and care for each other deeply (platonically, imo) and it’s hard with them all being So Very Mentally Ill(tm) but they try their best to be there to support each other
- eichi is definitely a sensitive topic. wataru loves him and dislikes negative talk of eichi in his presence, rei and kanata are neutral (as of !! more so for rei), natsume and shu despise him…. makes it tricky to get along sometimes!
- they play card games together, bc most of them don’t know how to use a phone properly im not sure if this is quite what u wanted but i hope u enjoy nonetheless !! also. i very much hope that the read more works... i, like the oddballs, am horrible with technology!

Hewwo all !!! :3
I am need of some Assistance with mine life lol since this is really REALLY long cuz I lack the ability to be concise have a TDLR and also a read more lol:
Basically I need help paying to go to planned parenthood to try and get a gel testosterone ! I’m assuming it will cost around 250 for both ! And tw for needles and injections ? Just in case !
Also If u can’t donate it’s ok ! I know I always feel big guilty when all I can do is rb but bro !!! we r all just going thru it bro !!!!!! I llove u !! 😔🥺💖🥰
Recently some wild things have gone down in my life and if u wanted a full rundown I could give it to u but a) it’s a REALLY REALLY REALLY long story and b) really I only need help with one part
Let’s begin shall we ?
The parent that was providing for me to start/continue my transition isn’t supporting me financially anymore (for ANYTHING) I have very limited income and currently all of my money is going to fixing a snafu with my car insurance, my tags, paying for two storage units with all of my families stuff in it and whatever random issues pop up in my life like buying my sibling a new pair of shoes for school & paying for both of us to have phones tht work lol My car is a huge part in how much money I have at any time as I get payed to take my brother to and from work
I have that part mostly covered ! The thing I really need help with is my Testosterone
I really don’t have any leftover money after delegating and putting any money away for my testosterone is really hard since I keep having to dip into what I’ve saved for it
I need to go back to planned parenthood and try to get a gel to replace the injection method as I am SO bad at jabbing myself I’m afraid I’m gonna do more damage than I already have
(Here’s where the tw comes in ���)
The last time I tried to give myself an injection i caused enough damage that my leg was in extreme pain that traveled from my thigh down to just under my knee for several days on top of that one of my thighs has a bruise under the skin from a previous injection for a while now and is still a bit tender to the touch bc I really fucked that one up......At this point Id been putting off injections because of how afraid i was of hurting myself and how my fear makes me more likely to hesitate and therefore more likely fuck it up again (U may absolutely call me dumb if u wish it’s valid in my case aksnskssk)
I am aware that a gel testosterone is MUCH more expensive than the injections but I’ve looked around and found coupons for the most commonly used gel so I’m hoping it won’t cost me quite as much using those :] though I am not aware of what the initial price is going to be since it’ll be thru pp IM sort of guessemating the price and hoping that i have some sort of wiggle room just in case
The cost is for both the visit to pp and hopefully to cover the prescription (my insurance does NOT cover the visit unfortunately :[ it would be really nice if it did) The last visit I had at pp cost me about 130 but they can range from 80-135 depending on what happens during the visit (if I’m remembering correctly !) I’m hoping my visit will be in the 80 range since they aren’t going to run any tests
I’m gonna assume the gel will cost me about 150 dollars and I’ll see if I can cover the cost myself if it’s any more expensive ! so all in all I think I’ll need around 250 to get this done :] after I know the initial price of the gel I should be able to scrape up the money (hopefully w/the help of coupons !!!!)
if it was just the appt or the prescription by itself I could probably swing it eventually but unfortunately it’s just not high on the priority list when I have any money
I really wouldn’t be asking if I thought I had any other means of getting it realistically.. currently I can’t work due to my mental health (aka extreme social anxiety & depression 😳 lol) but I will probably end up trying to get a job regardless bc I really can’t go on with my life like this. It’s causing a lot of unnecessary stress and worry most nights
I can’t sleep & I am getting constant headaches from all the stress I carry which isn’t helping anything lol
My art isn’t the best but I can draw most things ! So if you’d like a drawing in exchange for a donation please let me know :] it isn’t very polished and little doodles are usually what turns out best ! I can provide examples if u would like me to ! I am also relatively good with my hands so I can make things like traditional art, jewelry and simple little clay statues and pots and send them to u if you later when I have the money for materials and shipping costs if u like :]
This is not life or death or anything so if u feel that ur money is spent better else where I totally understand !
I honestly think this is a long shot and that I probably won’t get any money in the first place (it be great if so ! But again I don’t really feel like my predicament is like. Super super important in the grand scheme of things u know lol) but if u actually managed to read thru this rambley mess thank u !!! I love u and I hope ur having a good day/night :] !!
#aitxt#UHHHH#donations#so if u have tht tag blocked u can just block it njnjknjknjknjkn#sorry yall i feel really bad for asking but at this point ive been out of T for a month and thattttttt not good u know#if ur on mobile and the read more doesnt work IM SO SORRYYYYYYYYY
