ON GHOSTS AND DEMONS: Wei Wuxian's "demonic" cultivation?

There are a few big misconceptions I have repeatedly seen in English-speaking fandom about things that are fundamental to the story of MDZS. One of them is this—

Wei Wuxian is not a demonic cultivator.

To prove this, let's take a deep dive into the original Chinese text of MDZS.

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

with bds calling for an official boycott of eurovision, one of the things they have asked is for “supporters to launch creative, strategic initiatives that can pressure broadcasters to withdraw” and so i encourage all those whose countries are participating in eurovision to find out how to contact your national broadcaster to make a complaint. for those living in countries who dont broadcast eurovision i know u can still send a complaint to the bbc if ur outside the uk for one

this is the message i have been sending, feel free to translate it/use it as a template/improve it/etc:

Dear sir/ma'am,
In 2022, following the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine, pressure was applied to the Eurovision Song Contest to bar Russia from competing that year and all years since. It was widely rightfully agreed that the invasion was worthy of strong condemnation and that Russia should be given no avenues to rehabilitate its public image.
In October 2023, the state of Israel began a military campaign against the people of the already occupied Gaza Strip in Palestine. In a disproportionate, atrocious response to the Hamas attack on the 7th of October 2023, Israeli forces have murdered over 30,000 Palestinians and displaced almost 2 million from their homes. Palestinian civilians (journalists and doctors included), entirely unaffiliated with the Hamas party Israel claims to target, have been targeted and killed indiscriminately. Stripped of basic necessities like food, water and electricity by Israel, with intent vocalised by multiple Israeli forces to eliminate Gaza and the Palestinian people, this is no less than a genocide.
Thus Israel, much like Russia, should not be permitted to compete in a contest that has been used repeatedly to maintain its pristine public image while it brutally oppresses Palestine. Especially when it has been charged with genocide explicitly by South Africa, a case that took place in the ICJ, thoroughly elucidating the crimes committed by the Israeli state, a charge agreed upon by several countries and genocide scholars alike.
The BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement has called for a complete boycott of Eurovision by broadcasters, artists and viewers and I ask that the BBC comply with this - abstain from broadcasting the Eurovision Song Contest and withdraw this years entry to the contest.
Thank you.

PLEASSSSEEE if you support Palestine/BDS

especially f you live in a country that participates in Eurovision, contact your broadcaster. even if you don't, there is contact info for broadcasters and an official sponsor at the following link along with a template email

BOYCOTT ISRAEL

Got this flyer from a pro-Palestine march today. Make sure to boycott all these businesses that are funding the genocide Israel is still committing in Gaza right now.

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

here's some instructions for anyone who doesn't know how to opt out:

  1. login in on desktop, it's not available on mobile yet
  2. click "Account"
  3. click on your blog
  4. go to "Blog Settings"
  5. go to "Visibility"
  6. Scroll down to the bottom option
  7. turn the toggle ON, not off

you will have to do this individually for each sideblog you have too, no way to do it for each account in one go

hi if it’s okay i saw you were boosting fundraisers for Gaza and wanted to check if you’d be willing to boost this spreadsheet put together by Jenan Matari on IG. i made this post just cause she’s on IG and while she’s got a huge following there i kno some ppl just dont use certain platforms and wanted to spread it around here since its a huge list of folks in need for various reasons. i dont have a big following myself but still wanted to try. i understand its not just one person so any vetting is more difficult to do so understandable if you dont want to spread it around tho: https://www.tumblr.com/nonbinarymerbabe/741436918492987392/jenanmatari-posted-this-on-ig-she-and-a-friend

Here's the list:

  1. Kareem Abu Samra: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (43k out of 77k needed in USD)
  2. Natasha Matar. Unsure, tried to contact the person in charge, the message bounced. Check if Jenan Matari herself has verified it or posted about it. Link.
  3. Haya Hijazi: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (108k out of 120k needed in Euros)
  4. Amer Qudaih: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (5k out of 10k needed in USD)
  5. Rashida Alfaoimy: I think legitimate fundraiser. Link. (12k out of 85k needed in USD)
  6. Ula El Hindi: This one's already verified by GoFundMe since it is being organized and sponsored by a verified NGO. Link. (4k out of 15k needed in Euros)
  7. Muhammad Safi: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (2k out of 30k needed in British pounds)
  8. Yazan Khalaf: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (3k out of 50k needed in USD.)
  9. Afaf Masoud: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (14k out of 40k needed in Euros)
  10. Islam Daher: Not enough info to verify. Doesn't look like a scam. Link.
  11. Qasim Alkafarneh: Not enough info to verify. Doesn't look like a scam. Link.
  12. Motasem Khayal: Not enough info to verify. Doesn't look like a scam. Link.
  13. Mohammed Abu Malan: I think legitimate fundraiser. Link. (1k out of 26k needed in Euros.)
  14. Ahmed Saleh: I think legitimate fundraiser. Link. (5k out of 50k needed in Euros)
  15. Salwa Zarifa: Not enough info to verify. Doesn't look like a scam. Link.
  16. Al Ghandour family: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (27k out of 100k needed in USD)
  17. Motasem Quffa: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (4k out of 10k needed in Euros)
  18. Adel Al-Zaharna: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (goal reached, likely still needs sustained support for survival until they can exist)
  19. Mahmoud Al-Gharabli: Legitimate fundraiser. Link. (29k out of 57k needed in USD)

In conclusion, most of these are legit, and none of these are verifiably scams. The ones that I haven't been able to verify can still very well be legit.

For all those who want to check the rest themselves, here's the list.

If you're going to contact any of the representatives of the fundraisers that I couldn't verify, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL. You never know what's happening with their friends or family. I'm not an ultimate authority on this either, this is just what I can tell to the best of my ability.
