Please support this family in any way you can.
Save my children's
Hello , I am Ahmed Abusaada. I am reaching out to you urgently as my family faces the devastating impact of the ongoing war in Gaza. Our home is in ruins and our jobs are gone. We are in dire need of your support for the safety of my wife noor, and four young children, Batool, Aseel, Bahaa, and Leen. My children suffered a lot during the war. My daughters, Batool and Aseel, were waking up screaming in fear. My children sleep with their hands over their ears so that they do not hear the sounds of explosions, missiles, and shells. When we were forced to move to tents, we could not bear the bitter cold and pouring rain, and my children fell ill with diseases and malnutrition. The war made me unable to provide a healthy environment for my family, and I was also unable to provide them with healthy food or sweets, which made me feel extremely helpless to escape the grip of the relentless war. We need your support. Our dream is not just to survive, but to find stability and rebuild our lives in a safe place free from the horrors of war. Your generous contribution can help us make this journey to safety and provide my family with a chance at a more hopeful future. Please consider donating to us and sharing our story. Your support can have a huge impact on our quest for a safer and more promising life.đ
So help me and my children to get out of this hell, with your simple donation it might help to get out of this war and start a new life for my children away from their suffering in carrying water and searching for firewood, with your donation we might return the children to their schools to live a happy lifeđđđŁ
This is a picture of my children before the war.

Scab behavior.
Look, if you wanna make a difference just vote for Jill Stein.
If the Green Party gets just 5% of the vote then they get federal funding and more ballot access. So even if Jill Stein doesnât win you can still make a difference in ending a never ending war between two corrupt Parties.
And also I believe that Jill Stein CAN WIN because she is what most liberals want the Democratic Party to be and I know that people genuinely want hope, and to them I say trust in Gill Stein.
I am already seeing y'all fucking make excuses not to vote if Kamala Harris is nominated so let's clear shit up real quick:
Number one: Harris has a harsher tone on Israel, and has demonstrated more willingness than Biden to push for the halt of all offensive weaponry aid to Israel if they continue their no-holds-barred assault on Palestine, and has been far more critical of their blocking of humanitarian aid. She also states support for a two party solution, but you will be hard fucking pressed to find any major candidate willing to say they want to help abolish Israel outright to the general public. While Biden has closer ties with Israel, Harris has more personal leanings on American progressives than anything else, and is far more likely to listen to criticism on the subject of Palestine. She demonstrates better diplomacy toward even countries we are not currently allied with and is in general, more likely to push for humanitarian change, she's objectively the best bet for both winning the election and getting reform on the Israeli bombardment of Palestine.
Number two: Harris is not fucking transphobic. The actions of the state attorney general office and state of California corrections, to deny transgender inmates gender reassignment surgery, was not her personal choice, she was a lawyer requires to do her job as a lawyer, she was not involved in writing the original briefing that used transphobic language or minimized the necessity of gender affirming care to inmates, in fact her involvement at later stages is part of what removed a lot of the repugnancy of the arguments and she was personally delighted when the settlement led to the state considering providing gender affirming surgery to inmates who are recommended for it. Similar is true of other stories like this as well. In general she's been a strong ally to the LGBTQ+ community, especially the T, she's responsible for making "trans panic" a non viable defense for the murder and assault of trans people in the state of California, helped toss a bathroom bill, created an act to hold law enforcement responsible for harassment and negligence toward trans individuals, and was a key player in altering title IX to include protections against discrimination for Gender Identity. Any attempts to paint her as having mixed or bad policy toward trans people is actively an attempt to dissuade you from voting for her, and should be analyzed incredibly critically.
Shut the fuck up already. Vote.
Yeah when I'm one of the deciding factors in law and imprisonment that has no reflection on how I feel about law and imprisonment. I could've spent decades on training and schooling and becoming a federal attorney because I hate law and imprisoning people and having power, you don't know.
Wonder how far I can prod libs into finishing their full thought bubble behind all this "harm reduction" "genocide is a single issue" "you don't care about marginalized people in the US" "dyou want fascism WITH genocide???" screeching.
Okay, class, say it with me: "I don't want to live in a third world country like the ones we keep destroying."
Because you know. The countries your war criminal leaders keep bombing and starving and destabilising and leeching dry? We don't have trans or gay rights or women's rights or disability benefits or environmental or labour protections. No one would want to live in our countries obviously. You'd kill yourselves before you had to live like we do. Sure, we're only like this because you keep us trapped in poverty and violence and we still have full, happy lives worth living despite it but that's because we're used to it! We don't know any better! Not like you! You know what you deserve and you shouldn't have to lose anything as a consequence of your own political choices! Your government is supposed to happen to other people! Not you! So like, yeah, it's bad that the poors are being massacred wholesale or whatever, but like. That doesn't mean you gotta die with them, y'know? And by "death" you don't mean actual genocide like what's happening over here but "death" as in "having to live like we do".
The trolley problem metaphor is so goddamn attractive to you because you see yourself outside the tracks, objectively assessing the situation and making the "tough" "moral" choice for the collective good. It's imperialist horseshit. You don't have a democracy and it's not a trolley. What you have is an imperial death machine running on an apartheid system that decides who gets fed to it and who gets fed by it. That's your "two tracks"â the colonized and the colonizer, the core and the periphery, the white and the coloured. "Harm reduction"? Have you counted how many fucking millions in and around the world your death machine eats to keep how many of you "safe"? But our losses are a foregone conclusion, a matter of course, a regrettable necessity. The only variable is yours. Every political choice in 200 years of your settler colony has been "genocide AND". "Genocide AND women's rights". "Genocide AND workers rights". "Genocide AND fascism". "Genocide AND democracy". The difference is that for the first time in your history you're now watching it livestreamed to the entire world in real time 24/7, exactly as your colony is about to capsize under the weight of its own bloodlust. A sea change from when your parents threw parties watching bombs dropping on Baghdad and then spent twenty years watching movies about sad it made the soldiers.
How do you count the victims when we are numbers and you are people? You scream about trans rights in the US while Palestinian trans children don't have the right to reach puberty. OSHA for you but Congolese children have to die in mines. Reproductive rights for the US while Sudanese women are raped in millions. Yes, but it's always been "genocide AND" no matter what, right? Do we want to sabotage the party that has never fucking cared about us and don't now even with half their own country screaming at them on the off-chance they might possibly maybe one day do?? Why are we acting so mad like it's YOUR fault that you're fighting for your quality of life over our corpses?? Do we want YOU to lose your rights over it??
Yes, actually. We do. We want you to have a taste of the reality that generations on generations of your illegal illegitimate white supremacist occupation has inflicted on us just so your worthless hide can sit there and call our genocides a single fucking issue. And let's be real: that's what you're so fucking afraid of.
CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ABOUT BISEXUALITY
that purple in the middle is not the right saturation, it doesn't fit with the other two colors and it drives me crazy.
Iâm going to be honest and tell you the truth.
68,000 people die a year from a lack of healthcare care.
Every summer has broken the record for hottest summer for the last 8 years.
Multiple BILLIONS of American tax dollars have been sent to fund a genocide.
YOU are the one with a sense of moral superiority when you blame and discourage people from fighting.
If you think youâre fighting for a better world Iâm sorry but youâre not fighting, youâre standing with the status quo which is not good enough.
I want to care and fight for a better world, so Iâm voting for the only NON GENOCIDE candidate on the Ballot this November, her name is Jill Stein
i kind of wish the anti voting people wouldnât dance around the idea of what happens after the election. Like okay, the democrats lose, you taught them a lesson (and fwiw, I do think its a legitimate message to send- the people are not happy with the actions and status quo of the DNC). Now What. Trump, the multiply indicted crime president who incited a violent mob upon the capitol, is now President. He has all the qualities you hate about Biden, AND more, except he and his administration have even less reason to be sensitive to the wishes of their democratic constituents. He is a puppet for the far right and white supremacists and christian nationalists. I really shouldnât even have to go over this- we LIVED it already. Genuinely asking, is this what you want? Because frankly I do not think 4 more years of Trump is worth it over Biden. Your hands are not clean, this is the future you want to choose. I just donât understand why.
THERE IS ANOTHER CANDIDATE!
People like this are why we have people like Trump and Biden. If you want things to change then you need to bite the bullet and fight for it.
Biden and trump when you get to brass tax are equally terrible when you look past what they say and just see the results of there actions and inactions

There is an another candidate, sheâs the only anti genocide candidate who will be on the ballot and her name is Jill Stein and I will be voting for her.

Yuri Jesus wants to show you Yaoi Jesus
They're soso normal about each other
Bad take.
So the show isnât really about the ending of the worldâŚ
In the end, in the finale analysisâŚ
What Carol and the end of the world is actually about is finding what makes you happy.
An office job is the stereotypical epitome of a boring, soul sucking job that nobody likes.
But she likes it. Carol against all odds finds it comforting and nice because even though it doesnât matter since the world is ending, it makes Carol happy to do something mundane and stable in a time where everything is overwhelming.
When we think about what makes a person happy itâs often characterized as something happening to you that MAKES you happy, kinda like a happily ever after as in its a big event ďżźthat you can attain. But happiness is an emotion that comes and goes and is something we have to build through each other and ourselves
Carol and the end of the world shows that you donât need to attain any great thing or achievement to be happy. Instead it shows that what can make you feel happy can be dumb or boring and thatâs ok, that happiness can come from anywhere and that we need happiness in order to grow and build relationships or make necessary changes.
Happiness cultivate growth, andďżź itâs needed if we want to get out of this capitalistic hell scape. People need to know that they deserve to be happy.
isnât selfish to want to be happy and I think you should watch a show before you criticize it.
I didn't finish Carol vs The World because it lost me with how we never get to see Carol question why she finds comfort in a deeply pointless job or address what that means. I wanted to like the show because it has a middle aged cast of characters that look realistically ordinary too.
I watched like 3 episodes and then went and read the synopsis of the other episodes, watched a video summarizing the season and read reviews.
I really liked the character and background design, the characters themselves are okay, but I can't get past the world building or the weird takeaway it has.
I can't say this any other way: I think the creators of this show can't imagine how people would exist outside of capitalism. Characters have two choices: to live the rest of their life in an individualistic hedonistic way, or to continue with their boring jobs. This is not different at all from how people in capitalism live. It makes me feel like the writers think people do these boring jobs because they find comfort in them, or that they don't know what they want from life, and they need a "distraction" from that. (I can imagine that there are people who are content with doing a job like this, but not for these reasons) I feel like writers often use this trope condescendingly. People don't do boring office jobs because they lack motivation and fantasy, it's because they need money to live and most jobs suck.
I think Carol's problem is not that she is a simple person who doesn't want much, but that she is lonely. And the show does say that in the end it's the bond between people that is important, and to enjoy everyday little moments, but if instead of idk, Carol talking to her neighbors they make a point out of showing that these characters enjoy doing pointless work for a faceless corporation. If the job supposed to symbolize a simpler life, well. i don't like that
there could have been some kind of critique of society here! but instead the show goes "if you are depressed and you don't find fulfillment in superficial hedonism that you are told you should enjoy, the alternative is that you can do pointless tasks while becoming friends with your coworkers :)" like what. sure i'll happily slave away my life for a corporation, not even knowing why, and i'll be happy about it. I don't think the idea that work could be fulfilling, for example that they could be doing something for other people's comfort or happiness ever comes up. most characters including Carol act selfishly. why did she fail to find friends up until the point of working in that office. i think this show is fake deep. sorry for the rant I just feel like there is wasted potential here
This is some crunchy art, carful not to cut your mouth looking at it.
You are here to stop something. Something big, something deadly and dangerous.
However, you can't remember what that something is.

Astro Boy (2003) now in 1080p Full HD!
The 2003 Astro Boy anime never got a Blu-ray release, so the copies circulating around only go up to 480p. I found out a native HD version was available on some Japanese streaming services, so I've made all the episodes available here. Enjoy!
Comparison:
I feel like a lot of people donât get Miki or are very uncharitable.
So first Iâll say what I think other people think, and then Iâll say why I disagree with that lol.
So I see a lot of people see Miki as some sort of puritan
To me, Iâd say Miki has more of an OCD thing going on but that he doesnât hold others to the standard he sets for himself. the only person he judges is his sister but thatâs because she acts out specifically for his attention.
The way I see Miki in the show doesnât believe in himself and feels like he needs other people to be enough.
I think Miki and Kozue have a parallel dinamica when it comes to their parents divorce and how they act out, Miki blames himself and Kozue blames the world/her parents.
Mikiâs problem is that he feels like he needs other people to be enough, (though he is distrustful of adults which is interesting.)
And Kozueâs problem is she feels like she doesnât need anyone.
But yeah TL;DR Mikiâs problem is he thinks Anthy will make him whole and not that heâs judgmental.
But also I like hearing what people think so feel free to add what you think.
The revolution is coming
