Please Read & Reblog❤️

Thank you all for your continued support. We achieved a very important goal, which was the cost of living for the first months upon our arrival. I increased the goal so that I could buy a new computer and go back to my job (graphic designer) after my house was bombed and all my devices at home were destroyed. This is what my office looks like. In my house before the bombing. I appreciate your continued support for us ❤️

Note: There are only 6 days left until the campaign ends

i made a character sheet. free to use as you wish, feel free to change whatever you want XD open source ass thing. spent all of ~maybe an hour on it.

Credit: the text in the insert-image box comes from this video, and the text for the top three lines (intense, complex, fruity) comes from this post. The actual image was made with the free NBOS character sheet creator, which is a sort of dated but free and solid text-layout sheet maker intended for ttrpg style character sheet creation.

this is GENUINELY one of the best character development sheets I've ever seen. Cuts right to the core of what you and your readers will glom onto, doesn't waste time on details that don't directly affect the narrative. Stupendous. Effervescent. Finally, some good fucking food

From the Freedom Flotilla, April 27 2024:

On Thursday afternoon, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition was contacted by the Guinea Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), requesting an inspection of our lead ship – Akdenez. This was a highly unusual request as our ship had already passed all required inspections; nevertheless, we agreed. The inspector arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon, before the inspection was completed, the GBISR, in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla’s ships, one of which is our cargo ship, already loaded with over 5000 tons of life-saving aid for the Palestinians of Gaza. In its communication informing us of this cancelation, the GBISR made specific reference to our planned mission to Gaza. It also made several extraordinary requests for information, including confirmation of the ships’ destination, any potential additional port calls, and the discharge port for humanitarian aid and estimated arrival dates and times. It further demanded a formal letter explicitly approving the transportation of humanitarian aid and a complete manifest of the cargo. Again, this is a highly unusual move from a flagging authority. Normally, national flagging authorities concern themselves only with safety and related standards on vessels bearing their flag, and are not concerned with the destination, route, cargo manifests or the nature of a specific voyage. Just like when you register your car, the authorities don’t require you to detail to them every place you are going to go with the car. Sadly, Guinea-Bissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate starvation, illegal siege and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International Humanitarian Law, UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice. [...] without a flag, we cannot sail. But, this is not the end. Israel cannot and will not crush our resolve to break its illegal siege and reach the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza and all of Palestine remain steadfast under the most horrific, unimaginable conditions. We take strength from their incredible, inexplicable ability to maintain their humanity, dignity and hope when the world has given them no reason to do so. It is our responsibility to keep that hope alive. WE WILL SAIL.

The Freedom Flotilla, which was set to depart from Turkey on the 27th of April with 5000 tons of life-saving aid, has now been delayed because Israel and the United States has pressured Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from the Flotilla's lead ship.

Seeing as how their tactics worked on Guinea Bissau, organizers now fear that Israel and the US will exert the same pressure on whichever country the Freedom Flotilla attempt to register their ship under next.

To help the Freedom Flotilla reach Gaza, please keep an eye out for further updates from the organizers. Right now, as of April 27th, they're asking people to help boost their visibility, and to donate to their member campaigns.

U.S. conservatives always talk about creating jobs but get SO MAD whenever anyone mentions banning prison labor like imagine the insane ammout of jobs that would be created literally overnight if companies in your country had to actually employ people instead of using slave labor from people that got caught with weed 10 years ago.

Daily reminder that the US, who love to scaremonger about "communist labour camps," have legal slave labour if you're in prison

We really need to start actively describing liberal bullshit like “you HAVE to vote for this genocider or the other guy will genocide them and you” as coercion and a threat. You are using the threat of violence occurring close to home to justify violence occurring elsewhere and that’s not a choice, that is a gun to your head. “If you don’t let me hurt someone else, someone might hurt you” is sadistic mafia shit, not pragmatism. Stop treating the system that holds a gun to your head every election cycle as somehow good, neutral or just. That’s a hostage situation ffs

There is nothing Jewish about genocide

There is nothing Jewish about colonialism

There is nothing Jewish about committing war crimes

There is nothing Jewish about ethnic cleansing

There is nothing Jewish about censorship

There is nothing Jewish about the way Isreal is treating other Jews

There is nothing Jewish about the way Israel is treating Palestine

Many Jews have always stood with Palestine

Many Jews always will

Do not let anyone trick you into believing that Judaism and Israel are interchangeable or that Israel is in any way speaking for what Jewish people globally want

There is nothing antisemitic about speaking out against Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. We stand with Palestine

What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!

The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.
We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”

Please reblog! Spread this! There is an effort by zionists to discourage people from boycotting! Don't let them trample your spirits and help us in the fight for a liberated Palestine!

They also have a great website that is extremely detailed and interactive!!

I found them because I had seen someone say that the ratio of Palestinians to Israelis fatalities since 2005 was 23:1 and i was wondering where the data for that originally came from. This website keeps such detailed accounts of fatalities, home destruction, and other human rights violations. It also has an interactive map that shows the timeline of the occupation, talks about different communities and settlements, shows check points, and more.

It is extremely informative, and honestly pretty remarkable.

The terms for releasing hostages held by Hamas were clear from the start. They said quite early on that they would release all the hostages in return for the 6000 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. [Link]

Since then, deals have been discussed which are way more favourable to Israel, and now there's talk of releasing 50 hostages in return for a 3-day ceasefire and some Palestinian women and children being released. [Link]

And we could get into the stories of Hamas offering to release hostages which Israel refused [link], or hostages saying how well they've been treated when do they get released [link], or the strong likelihood that Israeli bombs have directly killed hostages [link], but the first two lines of this post are all you really need to know: Israel always had the means to secure the safety of the hostages. They just love murdering Palestinian children too much to give up their weak excuse for doing so.

Yeah no, I'm sure the country using tiktok thirst traps to legitimize it's military has nothing nefarious to hide.

A casual reminder that while Israel is pumping out propaganda through tweets and tiktoks, they have simultaneously been killing journalists at an unprecedented rate. The IDF has killed over 25 (most likely an underestimate) Journalists since Oct 7th 2023 (Source).

By killing Journalists and churning out propaganda, Israel is hoping it can get away with genocide.

Hey I wonder what happened to OP
