guy sitting in front of me in class was vandalizing wikipedia and i kept reverting his edits as soon as he made them and he couldn't figure out why it was happening

absolutely

Riz is much too tired to defend his friends to his mom but him saying “NOOO mom Kristen does CrossFit now” to explain how he’s not carrying Kristen was so fucking funny

I’ve been noticing some confusion in the notes regarding what culture this is, so here’s some more info!

The girl in the video is Sámi. The Sámi are an indigenous people from the region of Sápmi, which encompasses northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

The traditional clothing of Sámi people look different depending on which area tradition they belong to. This girl is north Sámi and she’s wearing a Lyngen dress (ivgu gákti in the north Sámi language), which means her family/ancestors came from Lyngen, Norway. Lyngen’s proximity to the sea made fishing a common means of livelihood for the Sámi living there, which earned them the name “sea Sámi”.

The girl in the video mentions that Sámi people get harassed a lot on the 17th of May, which is the Constitutional Day / National Day of Norway.

You guys just have to trust me on this one and click here okay?

OH MY GOD I NEEDED THIS

For the chronically anxious and/or otherwise mentally ill:

This is not a screamer, jumpscare, or any other kind of horror link I don’t know the name of. It will not cause you to question reality and as far as I’m aware, there is no reason it should cause any kind of hallucinations or psychosis. I don’t want to spoil the surprise because it’s DELIGHTFUL but I am happy to tell you it’s very sweet and gentle and also great lowkey stress relief. This is a cinnamon roll link appropriate for all ages (yes, all the way down to babies) and you will enjoy it if you click it. ❤️

This makes me so happy

Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.

I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.

These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.

I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.

My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 🇵🇸❤️

Some more information from killy, the organizer of ghost-90's crowdfund, about how fucked the process is for Gazans to actually get paid out by GoFundMe.

And this is just one story from one person who had a little visibility at the time. How many funds have been frozen that no one knows about cuz they don't have any visibility? How many do we not know about cuz the recipient died while waiting for their funds to be released?

These financial institutions have blood on their hands just as much as the bastards dropping the bombs.

And for the people in the notes saying that the banks are just fallowing the law, laws that allow free transfer of money to Western countries but heavily criticizes and restricts money sent to the Middle East (or really any country that isnt part of the West) is racist and imperialist. Fallowing racist laws is still racist. But I think y'all might be understating how much power the banks have in this situation, they are choosing to fallow these "laws" of their own volition.

Don't try to cover for multi-billion dollar organizations that are directly profiting off genocide and people's desire to save their families from brutal death.

I'm glad for your help and thanks to anyone still helping 🙏❤️

A screenshot of the tags left on a reblog of the op by the tumblr user killy. They read:

i ran the campaign in question and it's even worse than it sounds

like after gfm freed up.the funds paypal refused to let me send them to ahmed

and then when i was finally able to send it via wire transfer (in person at the bank bc it couldn't be done online)

ahmed's bank marked it suspicious and won't unfreeze the funds until 2025

so he had to start from scratch

he'll be able to access the money next year nd hopefully it'll help in egypt at the very least

but that's 8 months where he and his family will be in a new country having to continue to fundraise

West Bank Palestinians are tearing down Israel’s apartheid wall following Iran’s counter attacks.

Full glory to the resistance.

Israel will fall and their colonial regime will crumble

The US colonial empire in cuba, Guam, and their economic stronghold over multitude of Latin American countries will ALSO FALL

FUCK ALL YALL HOES

friendly reminder that if you support israel youre either racist, or stupid

israels a bitch and dont you ever forget that.

i can’t believe this is happening… i’ve been thinking of the al-shifa siege for the past five six days and it has literally made me sick. when will this end?

Now, as the victims are 7 white people, Stephen Colbert finally used his platform to call for Israel to end its “war” in Gaza.

Too bad it had to take the death of 35,000 Palestinians and 7 foreigners for him to have the courage to say something.

a little mock postage stamp i did a while ago. free to download (X) and print as stickers, posters or whatever you like.

[ ID: Two images of an artwork showing two people's faces covered by keffiyes, only their eyes shown. The keffiyeh on the left is flowing, while the keffiyeh on the right drops down, the map of Palestine in green over it. There's white text in Arabic over it. There's also red text around the piece, which reads: "Palestine will be free". First image is the artwork on a fake stamp, and the second image is just the artwork. /End ID ]

Thank you 🙏

white text in Arabic: From the river to the sea

black text in Arabic: Resistance is the deepest form of love

green text in Arabic: Freedom for Palestine

The initial idea behind the imagery was that the keffiyehs in their different forms represent the river and the sea respectfully, because the saying From the river to the sea… still is (hopefully soon was) banned and criminalized in Germany. And where there is censorship there is art. The saying in Arabic (and the other elements) I edited in later on.
