to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

The Best News of Last Month - July 2024

🏅- Talk about an Olympic comeback!

1. U.S. proposes ban on airline fees for seating parents next to kids

Parents should't have to pay a fee to sit next to their children when flying, according to the White House, which is moving to ban airlines from charging families extra to be seated together.

Under a rule proposed Thursday by the Department of Transportation, airlines would be required to seat parents and kids 13 and younger together free of charge when adjacent seating is available at booking.

2. A spinal injury killed Adriana Ruano's dream as a gymnast. She just won Guatemala's first Olympic gold medal as a shooter.

Ruano was training for the 2011 world championships in gymnastics, a qualifier for the London Olympics the following year, when she felt pain in her back. An MRI showed the then-16-year-old had six damaged vertebrae — a career-ending injury.

But on Wednesday, she came back as a shooter and won Guatemala's first Olympic gold medal.

3. Woman swept out to sea rescued after surviving 37 hours in 6.5' waves, drifted over 50 miles.

A Chinese woman who was swept out to sea while swimming at a Japanese beach was rescued 37 hours later after drifting in an inflatable swim ring more than 80 kilometers (50 miles) in the Pacific Ocean, officials said Thursday.

4. Afghan Sisters Escape The Taliban To Achieve Olympic Dreams

Sisters Yulduz and Fariba Hashimi are set to become the first female cyclists from Afghanistan to compete in the Olympics. The siblings fled their country after the Taliban seized power in 2021 and cracked down on women's rights, including banning women from participating in sports.

5. Stem cell therapy cures man with type 2 diabetes

A 59-year-old man had been suffering from diabetes for 25 years, needing more and more insulin every day to avoid slipping into a diabetic coma and was at risk of death. But then Chinese researchers cured his disease for the first time in the world. The patient received a cell transplant in 2021 and has not taken any medication since 2022.

6. Seventh person likely 'cured' of HIV, doctors announce

A 60-year-old German man is likely the seventh person to be effectively cured from HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant, doctors announced on Thursday. The man received a bone marrow transplant for his leukaemia in 2015. The procedure, which has a 10 percent risk of death, essentially replaces a person's immune system.

7. Every country has now banned the use of leaded gasoline in cars

Three and a half decades later, in 2021, Algeria became the last country to ban it. Leaded gasoline is now banned from being used in road vehicles in every country. It is a big win for the health of people around the world.

“Mmm. It is good… do you think Eve is okay? She’s been hiding out in the bathroom for a while now.” Aniara says with a small laugh. Eve had given them almost total privacy while Aniara was under the effects of the flower. At that moment, Eve cracked the door to check to see if they were finished yet. || Chuck lightly strokes your hair, starting to hum a lullaby as you drifted off to sleep.

Nebriel chuckles, nodding at Eve to signal they were done….for now. He sits up, pulling Aniara into his lap and wrapping a blanket around them both for some warmth.

“My Daddy.” I mumble softly before drifting off, my arms tightening around him before loosening in sleep.

In this new universe, I wake up with a yawn beside this world’s Chuck, rubbing my eyes as I snuggle further into him, not noticing the slight ache between my legs from his and Thea’s…..“loving” last night as I was asleep. Though it wasn’t just them that touched me at night, my brothers Gabriel and Michael too, and even my sister Raphael. The only one who didn’t know was me.

“Daddy.” I mumble, starting to shake him. “Daddy, i think Mommy is making breakfast.” I say, playfully starting to tickle under his chin to try and wake him. “Time to get up, Daddy.” I tell him, stretching out with a little whimpering groan before finally crawling out of bed myself, grumbling as I readjust my oversized t shirt, the only thing besides panties I wore to bed. Damn thing always rode up while I slept! I also didn’t notice the slight stickiness on my chest from Chuck cumming on my tits and Thea licking them clean, something that they both liked, although they equally enjoyed him cumming on my pussy or ass and having her clean up the mess there. But it was sort of an unspoken rule that no one cum IN me, or at least just not in my pussy, no matter how badly they wanted to. It would be troublesome if I ended up pregnant, and all the fun would surely end. But that wasn’t the only rule. There were others, like no hickeys or bruises in areas I could see. Just General things like that to keep me in the dark. They even had a schedule of who’s bed I would sleep in on which night so that everyone got a fair turn. Needless to say, my own bed didn’t get used very often.

people don’t talk about hilda (from the netflix show) enough and how absolutely insane she is. and by that i mean how she takes the Traditional Hero trope to the absolute extremes. she is filled with overwhelming whimsy; adventure is drawn to her like a goddamn magnet and absolutely NO ONE can stop her from pursuing it. and if they even try to get in her way then fuck them. this kid’s normal tuesday means possibly dying multiple times and fighting The Horrors. everyone around her is concerned for her and the unstoppable magical girl powers that she wields but she absolutely WILL be a little shit about it because she was pulled from her whimsical littol cottage in the woods where she played with trolls and forced to move to fucking Normal Non-Magic Town. turns out going to Normal Town is only a minor setback and soon she’s back on the befriending magical creatures (a GIANT TALKING RAVEN) grind. she’s so Magical Girl Protagonist that even her own mother is terrified for her.

put simply: hilda subverts the magical girl trope in such a way that makes her a threat to normal society. and i love her for that

Meanwhile…

On the nightstand, next to their bed, sits a hawk darker than shadow, watching them toss and turn.

whenever I remember those stupid fucking pins that Mark Ruffalo and Billie Eilish or whatever wore I think of Shlomo Mansour. He survived the farhud as a child, where people painted red hands on the houses of all the Jews they knew to show who to kill. And yet he still survived. He still survived and he probably thought that the worst was behind him, and now imagery of one of the most horrific moments in Babylonian Jews’ memories has been proudly displayed, not to commemorate or memorialise, but to pointedly ignore Jewish suffering.

They will never care about him. The world will never care about him.

on twitter, a viral thread started where people around the world shared their translations of “If I must die”, the last work of Dr Refaat Alareer also known as "the voice of Gaza". A beloved poet, teacher and life-long activist for Palestine, he was recently assassinated along with members of his extended family by a targeted Israeli air strike. His loss leaves a hole in the heart of palestinians all over the world.

Below the cut, I’ll be posting the translations of his poem, with links to the original posts. Unfortunately, tumblr limits posts to a maximum of 30 images. I will update when I can.
