Lots. Lots and Lots, nonnie. He doesn't even know where to decipher and unpack those feelings. Those needs and desires that pull at him in every direction. My mans is cONfLicTed and repressed. FREE HIM.

[curiosity-killed]

Hi, I hope you're doing well. I'm writing to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for help. My family is in a very danger situation due to the ongoing war, and I've launched a GoFundMe campaign to save them. Could you please share my campaign post from my profile? Each share could be a lifeline for my family. 🙏 Feel free to share it in any other social media platform if you would like. Our campaign has been verified ⭐️ by operation olive branch, and is entry number 26 on their spreadsheet. Also with ⭐️ Project watermelon,line 249/(212) on their spreadsheet. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness.

sharing here and will also queue your post in case two times works better than one!

I don’t know who needs to hear it but if you get an ask that’s like “hello from [insert country having some serious troubles that the world cares about presently] because of all the war in my country my family is struggling. Could you spread this for awareness and send me money? We’d greatly appreciate it.” It’s a SCAM

ITS A SCAM

It’s still a scam if “people” “verify” it’s real. The “people” verifying are either the same person sending the ask or accomplices.

Don’t send your money to random people on the internet like that. Donate to organizations you’ve done research on to ensure the money is going to helping people.

I have seen this ask dozens of times and it’s almost always the same exact wording, right down to the excessive use of emojis. Last year all these “people” (scammers) were from Ukraine, now they’re from Gaza/Palestine. They’re SCAMMERS. There’s no telling where they’re really from but they aren’t real. If you want to help people in hardship, your money will actually be put to good use if you donate to a nonprofit organization (that you’ve researched) or if you go to go fund me. Just make sure you do a little digging there, too. Sending money to scammers just encourages the gross scamming behavior.

If someone goes in your inbox asking for donations, how do you vett them to be sure it's real? Genuine question

Hello‼️ 🍉🍉🍉

I hope you are well.

Could you help me reblog the post my account and share my story with friends with a big heart and soul. I really need help in this fierce battle for Life in Gaza!,

I hope you can support for donating any amount you can and stand by me at the beginning in this difficult time. ♥️

Thank you for every kind gesture and thought of yours.🙏

Hi, It took a few seconds of searching, but I found the fundraiser campaign that you ripped off for your scam post.

I will be sharing Manuel Fajardo's fundraiser instead.

[tiredguyswag]

($200/$40,000) very low on funds

LOW ON FUNDS

[Plain text: LOW ON FUNDS /end plain text]

This is vetted gofundme and it is VERY LOW on funds! At the time of answering this it has only received $5 in the last three hours!! Please donate as much as you can and reblog if you cannot, you may reach someone who can!!

Current amount raised: $300 / $40,000

[afloweroutofstone]

Really depressing how the final culmination of a public policy degree is pretending to be a consultant. First for my bachelor's and now for my master's, the program always ends with a "capstone" which is essentially a semester-long group project producing a policy report for a real-world client.

I understand that the point of this is to make sure everyone graduating has some level of familiarity with Actual Work, but it's so grim that the average job expected of a public policy graduate is to work at McKinsey and put together slides for clients whose goals you don't actually care about. Personally, I've put up with six years of this because I think that the world is broken and that we have real opportunities to improve it, not because I want to be overpaid by Deloitte! What an incredibly narrow and limited way of looking at this academic discipline! I'm normally the cynic, but surely we should have higher expectations for those learning about the machinery of government! Perhaps we should even expect them to care about something other than pleasing business clients!

I'm mostly complaining about this now because I'm about to start a "48-hour project" in which I waste my entire weekend putting together a brief within two days just to prove that I'm capable of working on tight deadlines. Depending on how interesting the policy topic I'm getting randomly assigned later today is, this weekend will range somewhere from "dull but tolerable" to "extremely miserable"

what are your thoughts on the current fandom

You are asking me such spicy questions nonnie!

I'm gonna sound so old but back in the day the fandom was all about creating and interacting with each other. It was a whole lot of fun and now I feel like people are just going over the same source materials for multiple ships and tearing it apart and putting it back together.

I think it just gets stale. Especially the BC we have picked it apart to death and there is not more to be said about it that people haven't already stated.

I miss when people would not tear each others throats out for their ships and just created funny little headcannons and shitpost.

I feel like it's whole of the same theories that people keep posting over and over again and to me that is just unexciting.

LIKE GIVE ME THE UNHINGEDNESS AND FERALNESS OF A GOOD YEARNING FANFIC between your two fave characters.

Tell me how this silly little animal reminds you of a bat boy.

give me a whole essay as to why Azriel is a shadowdaddy that is secretly in love with Eris Vanserra and just hasn't realised it.

I live for the pure crack.

That is what makes the fandom inspiring and fun and most of all engaging.

That is just my $2.50 opinion

[punkrockisafulltimejob]

Palestinians Deserve Better

I feel like this shouldn't have to be said, yet again, but Palestinians should not have to live in fear daily, not knowing if they will survive to the next day, when Israel continues their assault. They should not be forced to relocate because the Zionists have decided that the land that Palestinians have lived in for generations belongs to them. Zionists have chosen to try and erase an entire people, culture, civilization, country, from existence. Israel will tell Palestinians where they will be safe, and then bomb the supposed "safe zone". They will shoot people in the street for fun and games. The IOF is a terrorist group, and as a whole has committed innumerable crimes against the Palestinian people.

My stance on this issue should be clear. I am writing this post because I was requested to by someone who is currently trying desperately to flee with her family. She, her daughter, and her husband deserve better than to live in fear. She and her family deserve safety, shelter, food, and comfort. I cannot fathom what it is like to be her right now, and this is all I can do for her from afar. I can share her story.

Please help her get out.

Those gaza gfms are not verified as real. I wish you'd plug actual verified sources instead of blindly trusting bot spread asks. Gaza is so important and they pollute and divert money from confirmed non scam causes

Halaelhissi was verified (#182) by el-shab-hussein. Aymanayyad82's GoFundMe was verified (#144) by nabulsi. Ahmedalnabih was verified (#218) by el-shab-hussein. Basel-1995 is verified (#214) on the Vetted Gaza Fundraiser List.

I've been recently checking bibliography from one of our professors, and 1/3 of books references *don't exist*. Like, at all. Authors, titles, publishing houses.

I think he generated his bibliography in chatgpt, and it hallucinated the books.

He's a professor.
