Joe Biden has called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza, telling Benjamin Netanyahu that future US support for Israel will depend on it taking concrete action to protect civilians and aid workers. As the two leaders held their first phone call since Israeli airstrikes killed seven employees of the international food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK), Biden issued the strongest US rebuke toward Israel since the start of the conflict. In Thursday’s call, which lasted less than 30 minutes, the US president “made clear the need for Israel to announce and implement a series of specific, concrete and measurable steps to address civilian harm, humanitarian suffering and the safety of aid workers”, the White House said in a statement.

If you want to support Ukrainians, DO NOT donate to Red Cross. Can't speak about their work in other countries, but they're useless in Ukraine. The only trustworthy international organisation I can think of is World Central Kitchen.

Donate to World Central Kitchen

And it's even better to donate directly to Ukrainian organisations. Here are a few good legit places:

hospitallers.life - "Hospitallers", Ukrainian paramedics on the frontlines

savelife.in.ua - "Come Back Alive", assistance to the army

prytulafoundation.org - "Prytula Foundation", assistance to the army, humanitarian causes

starenki.com.ua - "Starenki", helping elderly people

everybodycan.com.ua - "Everybody Can", helping disabled children, elders and hospitals

uanimals.org - "UAnimals", saving animals

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)

Headcanon that Lasat food in the Star Wars universe has kinda the same reputation as British or German food irl.  At its best, it’s simple and homey, made to fill you up and get you through the Lean Times without being fussy about flavor.  Unfortunately this means it also has a reputation for being really bland and kinda nasty, so whenever it’s Zeb’s turn to cook on the Ghost, his food gets…mixed reviews.

Kanan and Ezra don’t mind it.  Kanan spent a good portion of his life surviving on pub grub, which is essentially what Lasat cuisine is in spirit and Ezra was homeless for too long to ever turn down a free meal, especially if it makes him feel full too.

Hera and Sabine cannot fucking stand Zeb’s cooking.  Sabine comes from a culture whose dishes are known to smack you in the face with spice and Hera grew up a) rich and b) French, so some of the dishes that Zeb makes seem like they should be considered a war crime from her perspective.  They both love Zeb far more than they hate his cooking, so neither will ever say anything, but whenever it’s Zeb’s turn to cook, Hera takes the opportunity to practice her sabaac face and Sabine drowns her plate in hot sauce the second Zeb’s not looking.

The only person who completely, unironically loves Zeb’s cooking is Kallus, fittingly enough.  He spent most of his adult life eating nothing but ration bars, so most normal foods are too rich for him.  Zeb’s cooking gives him the comfort of homemade meals without being totally overwhelming for him flavor-wise.  The crew is wary about having him join them, until they all realize they can just give their leftovers to him whenever Zeb cooks, and then he’s suddenly the most popular man on the Ghost.

World Central Kitchen confirmed that seven of their workers have been killed by an IDF strike in Gaza. Israeli forces are deliberately killing these aid workers to cut the crucial supply of food for starving people in Gaza. Being in the frontlines of support for Palestinians comes with a dangerous target on their backs, not knowing if they will even make it out of Gaza alive. Meanwhile, mainstream news outlets are still committed to downplay everything and enable the language of genocide by covering up Israel. Say the attackers name. WHO KILLED THEM? NAME THE OPPRESSOR.

just thinking about how luke was only ever really taught to wield the force as a weapon, but never how to put up barriers in his mind, just wondering, really, what happens to you when you touch the fabric of the universe but don't know how to wash it off your hands again, if sometimes being one with every living thing feels like you are disintegrating, fraying at the seams

i am a simon 'bad drunk' riley truther. he never gets Truly smashed bc he hates the loss of control being fully drunk brings up

but he does drink enough that it has you on edge. ruins the vibe if anyone else is there, brings the mood down immediately. you start shuffling anxiously if you're in public or at a party, a tense feeling in your stomach because he will start a fight and you won't be able to stop him

he always manhandles you when he's sober, but you get the feeling it's just because he can. shifts you about where he wants you. when he's drunk, his thumbs always dig into you just a little bit too much, wants you blinking up at him with wet eyes. he wants you just on the edge of feeling ashamed and betrayed by him and his horrible behaviour before he yanks you back into him again. just because he can

Cody can make all kinds of food. All you need to do is give that man a recipe, and he'll fucking nail it. And it makes Obi-Wan picky as fuck because he keeps going to restaurants and all he can think is "Cody would've made this better."

Not only does he enjoy Cody's cooking, but he also enjoys watching him in the kitchen with an apron on that flaunts his waist.

Insane. The IDF bombed the aid group three separate times in order to kill all 7 volunteers
