Now More Than Ever, Please Vet Gofundmes Before You Donate.

now more than ever, please vet gofundmes before you donate.

copy and paste descriptions into google to see if there are scam accounts reusing the same story, check to see if there are any images/updates on the fund with faces. go to the original blog, check if the post asking for help is only an hour old, or even less than that. refrain from donating if all it links to is a PayPal account, without any further confirmation of identity.

it’s horrible to say but it’s never been a better time for scam artists to exploit your generosity, when things seem so dire, and I’ve donated to campaigns before only to realise later that the entire story was stolen from an actual family in need. due diligence might take a few more minutes out of your day but at least you won’t be sending money to an opportunistic scumbag.

“#reading revival era (70's-80's) stuff right now and i'm getting a bit frustrated at some of it #especially how loveless the parent-child relationships feel in infinity inc but i haven't read much of that yet #when will golden age jsa return from war #jsa #dc comics “

Ikr????!! Fixating on the kids for a minute:

Setting aside parent- child relationships where they are contextually strained for in- universe reasons (Alan meeting the twins as adults, Carter and Hector growing distant in the wake of Shayera’s death, etc.) . . . You can’t tell me the golden-age version of the JSA wouldn’t be SOO invested in their kids’ safety and success- look at Dinah! Sure, they’re hands off once she’s grown, but they also obsessed over her training and relentlessly fussed in most media! Heck, look at younger heroes that AREN’T their literal children- Barry and freaking SYLVESTER???

…anyway, that sort of writing to just handwave the next gen’s independence is a HUGE pet peeve 😅

I DO think it would be so funny to retcon/rewrite that so that like. The crotchety old folk spent the majority of Infinity Inc spying on the ‘kids’ out of concern lmao. Fun little family drama reveal

I think my ideal JSA characterisation is like, mean but in a "take no shit" kinda way. They're Justified Assholes (most of the time, of course they'll lose their temper every now and again). So, I guess pessimistic takes where they can't fucking communicate with each other and seem to resent each other annoy me.

I’m not convinced Max does tbh XD

It’s so funny that speedsters are some of the most powerful beings in the universe but are also just regular people. Like, they pay taxes.

The funniest thing about this situation is that Elon Musk is so pissed off at not getting to do something illegal and get away with it by being a billionaire for once in his life that he has been -and I’m 100% serious here- making photo edits of our Supreme Court minister dressed as fucking Voldemort. Literal little kid taping a picture of someone they don’t like to a dartboard kind of behavior.

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. 🇵🇸
