Palestine Action permanently shut Elbit down in Tamworth! After sustained direct action, the Israeli weapons maker was forced to sell due to increased security costs which cut their profits by 75%. The new owners wrote to Palestine Action to confirm the factory is no longer associated with Elbit and have discontinued all arms manufacturing contracts.
Hussam's GFM is still extremely low on funds, so I'll be doing some fundraising for him! For every 5 euros you donate, I will write you 250 words. If you donate 8 euros, I'll write you 500 words. This rate is good up to 2,000 words! After that, every 10 euros donated will get you 250 words.*
Fandoms I've written for and will definitely write for: The Raven Cycle, Six of Crows, We Hunt the Flame
Fandoms I will NOT write for: Harry Potter, Marvel, OFMD, TLOU
If there's a fandom you want me to write for but I'm not that familiar with it, you can send me a DM and we can work it out! I'd just need some background so whatever you'd like to see in the story/characterization can be hashed out. Please make sure you DM me before donating so that we're both sure I can write for/am willing to write for the fandom of your choice. For artists: I will also write for your OCs if you'd like!
I will not write smut or anything NSFW.
You can send me proof of your donation and your request for a fic through DM. Please make sure to block out any personal information on your GFM receipt.
*please note that i am a student and it's currently exam season, so it will take me at least one week to get you your fics, possibly longer if they're over 2,000 words or if i'm unfamiliar with the characters. please be patient with me! thank you <3
Forgot we have until the 23rd to pay the credit card Dx

Just end me already!!
The funny thing with food is that you always need more to keep going.
We're very low on food supplies, a side from the lab tests the doctor asked and we have until the 23rd to pay the balance of the credit card this time.
My partner is also getting paid $22 usd a week and gets paid until May.
EDIT April 21st: Ok, I've got a tumor, It's been too long since my last check up and now I'm presenting new symptoms and noticeable growths(?) on my tights which are painful to touch.
I need to get some tests done and find another doctor or get insurance but that means money.
We're almost out of food and cleaning supplies too as we've been cleaning and spraying to keep roaches and rats away.
It's almost 3am, I'll be giving a more detailed breakdown of this when I'm feeling a bit better as we went out, it rained on us and I want to avoid getting sick.
The breakdown is $2670 for lab tests, $994.65 for the payment and $150usd for food. $1usd= $17 pesos.
That's $6165 pesos = $362 USD
Considering pypl takes a rate it's $380, give or take. And if we can get my meds to keep my gallbladder from giving me peritonitis I would be very grateful 🥲 but that's another $127 USD.
EDIT APRIL 24TH: WELL WE HAVE NO KITCHEN!!! And no natural gas service, we can't cook, there's no sink we can't have warm showers. <<<You can click to see the shit show.
The landlord won't take responsibility as always.
We used a good chunk of the money for food we can eat without cooking like cereal, tuna, sandwiches which is way over our initial budget. It is also not what some of us should eat.
The plumber told us it is doable in 1-2 days since he already started, it'll cost $3,000+ materials.
We were going to use the credit card but he only works with cash.
We have until next Tuesday 30 to give confirmation so he can schedule us.
We had already gotten some veggies and stuff that will rot if we don't cook it, please help?
I'll try to get at least a week's worth of my meds but whatever is going with me will probably have to wait.
Anything helps!!
Please remember Rafah as you talk about US protests for Palestine, the news I'm hearing from people there is nervewracking and it is bringing to mind the early days of the genocide. Please, please remember to focus on them.
I feel like Piotr Rasputin (Colossus) and Christian Frost (White Bishop / Red Monarch) should fuck.
This child, Salah, survived an air strike on his home and was badly burned. This video of him being fed by his mother is from a while back, taken by Hatem Rawagh. Hatem recently found out that this boy survived another air strike on his home, but this time his mother didn't. Remember why we're fighting. Remember who we're fighting for.
April 2024.
The student protests for Palestine have been an amazing show of solidarity and support and seeing thr way that so many young people are willing to stand up for their values is admirable when so many others stay silent. But this is all to say that we are entering a pattern of glorifying these white “martyrs” from the global west to put all of this effort and resources and media coverage into instead of the actual cause they are fighting for.
I saw the same thing happen with Aaron Bushnell, when his self immolation was being talked about more than the actual genocide in Gaza (which went against everything he said he was self immolating for in the first place).
And again this happened with the prisoner from the US who worked 136 hours just to be able to donate his $17 check to Palestine aid efforts. In response to this, people wanted to help him and ended up raising over $100,000 in a gofundme for him. This feels almost satirical, as every gofundme to help Gazans evacuate Palestine and get to safety has a goal of less than $100,000 and most of them are not even close to reaching it.
And now, there are more and more posts on how to get aid to the college student encampments, and the “urgency” of getting enough bail funds for the students who have been arrested during them. Talking about Palestine itself and getting resources to Palestine has almost been put on the back burner in favour of making all Palestine related news about college students in the United States.
It think it is valuable to recognise the selflessness and importance of these protests, and getting these students resources but what is MORE important, and what these people are truly fighting for, and protesting, and make a statement about is PALESTINE. We have unsurprisingly reached the point where there are people who care much more about the white people fighting for the cause from the comfort of living in the global west than they care about the Palestinians undergoing a genocide in Gaza. It’s become almost blatant racism, the way people begin to drop everything the second a white/usamerican person does something in regards to helping Palestine, but will not put the same effort into a Palestinian IN Gaza who is telling their story or asking for help. I respect anyone who has done absolutely anything to help Palestine, but I hope people are starting to see the pattern of how the media gravitates towards the “white saviour/perfect martyr” instead of the first hand accounts coming from those in Gaza.
My dream scenario for X Men ‘97 is for a finale (not necessarily first season or series, but somewhere in there) where ALL comic X Men appear in a massive, overlong intro.

Ghazzans are not your property to sacrifice. Ghazzans are not yours to decide the fate of. Ghazzans are not going to die for your luxury. Ghazzans are not going to die for you. Ghazzans have the right to live like everyone else. Ghazzans have the right to a peaceful life like everyone else. Keep fighting for Ghazzah. Keep fighting for our loved ones.
Those off.
There are lots of variations of awful public transit experiences, but we should always discuss the category “think they’re funny, telling shitty anecdotes that just makes them seem like an asshole.” guy.
