By The Way This Is The Procedure To Get Out Of Gaza

by the way this is the procedure to get out of gaza

it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child

if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.

once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit

once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out

it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.

hey guys if you actually care about mexicos water crisis please consider boycotting brands like coca cola and heineken. they are the ones running mexico's water supplies dry. I am aware of the "mexicans drink too much coke lmao" stereotype but it is because they have made us dependent on their brand, making it so in certain places of mexico, a coca cola bottle is cheaper than water. all thanks to our ex president Vicente Fox <3

AHHH the snoopy cookies are SUCH a good idea!! we love pittsie for bringing the snacks.

i hope you don't mind me adding my own thoughts to your headcanons, they're just so good and i wish to add more to them :)

todd loves the horror movie/s they put on (the orphanage and the human centipede) while everyone else dislikes/hates them. they're all clinging to todd like a lifeline during the orphanage because they're scared and todd's just laughing at them like 'this isn't even that bad!' (they would beg to differ). human centipede goes a lot worse because meeks and knox have very weak stomachs and they both nearly throw up multiple times. todd offers to watch something else but they know he loves the movie so they just smile through the squeasiness

neil and cameron would definitely spend so much time organising the whole thing - clearing their schedules, lining up everyone's off days, figuring out whose house to use, assigning who brings the snacks/laptop/blankets/etc, what movies to watch... also, despite the name, movie night lasts from ten in the morning up until two in the morning the next day since they just want to watch SO many movies. these usually happen at todd's since he has a projector and he's the only one who can convince his family to go out for the entire day. everyone gets to pick out one or two movies to watch. though, these big movie nights/movie days usually only happen during the holidays, and if they're at welton they have actual movie nights (10pm-1am) in someone's dorm and they watch it on meeks' laptop.

imagine some of the modern! dead poets having overbearing/overprotective parents who they have to call everytime a movie ends (cough cough neil and meeks cough cough). they're so embarrassed about it and it's like that 'my mom's calling... hi mom' meme except without the sexual noises because they're either scared of the parent calling or like them too much. meeks accidentally falls asleep during a movie and no one wakes her up because she needs the sleep, meaning she wakes up to ten missed calls and fifty unread messages from his mom and all of his sisters

if they were to watch a really sad movie they'd think they'd be able to tough it out, but by the end all of them are BAWLING. they have to take a twenty minute break to calm down from that. meeks and knox have it especially bad because they're crying so hard they genuinely can't see past the tears (real) and one of the other poets (also still crying) has to hold their hand and hrlp them navigate around the house to get them what they need like water or tissues

they'd all complain that's charlie's hogging the blankets/the couch, but my boy literally HAS to be laying down to watch a movie. in the end they make a compromise - all the other poets sit down first, and then charlie just lays down across all their laps - everyone loves it because it's like a free weighted blanket, especially neil and todd. how they're not sweating under all those blankets i don't know

cameron tries to enforce the 'no talking during a movie' rule but charlie just keeps breaking it, and in the end everyone's talking during the movies. cameron tries to act annoyed but he loves to hear their input or hear them explain something about the movie he previously didn't know

i feel like pitts would be an avid enjoyer of cartoons and sci-fi (like charlie brown and the great pumpkin as you mentioned) and hr and meeks would make a joint effort to make everyone else watch atleast one star wars and tmnt movie, and everyone ends up actually liking it!! they're a little confused from all the context they're missing but they enjoy it nonetheless - besides, pittsie is all too happy to explain tmnt/star wars lore.

meeks would also love sci-fi, but also historical/war films. she would convince everyone to watch forrest gump and i just know some people started crying during that movie (knox). later she talks about this awesome film she saw and everyone's excited to watch it, only to find out that meeks, the polyglot, was hyping up a movie that simply does not exist in english/a language they can all understand. she offers to provide real-time translations but no one trusts her to be accurate/not lie (that last one is based off of a real event at movie night with my friends!)

knox would have to get down on his knees and BEG to get them to watch legally blonde - charlie jokes that it looks like mean girls and knox tells him that it would make it even better! The watch it in the end and everyone is pleasantly surprised by the movie and actually end up really liking it!! they thank knox for making them watch it because it was actually super good (i've never actually watched legally blonde but i've heard its good!!) pitts would make pink snacks for the movie and he'd have to actively fight knox and charlie off because they want to eat all of the pink snacks

charlie would recommend superbad and meeks instantly agrees because he knows ALL the lines of that movie, and everyone assumes that means it's a nice, lighthearted, maybe sci-fi movie!! WRONG, by the end of it everyone is in various states of horror (cameron, pitts, knox, neil), laughter (meeks, charlie, todd), or in love with the movie (charlie, cameron, meeks). cameron has a love-hate relationship with the movie because he loves the drama but hates the vulgarity of the whole thing. (SUPERBAD SPOILERS SORT OF) knox accidentally predicts fogell's nickname (fagell) and meeks and charlie lose their shit over it

cameron gets them to watch a bunch of sitcoms/reality shows and they end up watching some episodes of the office too - everyone has a good laugh and it's a good way to calm down after something like superbad. they all poke a little fun at him for liking these kinds of movies but in the end it's all in good fun and he teases them just as much

neil gets everyone to watch romeo and juliet or the three musketeer (you can decide which versions because i haven't seen a single one) and everyone pretends to be annoyed by shakespeare, but they're all leaning forward throughout the movie (and accidentally smushing charlie in the process) because they actually really like it and romeo and juliet is one of the movies that makes them all cry. neil apologises for making everyone sob and they all assure him it's okay through the tears

once it ends no one has the energy to go back to their respective house, so they just go up to todd's room and crash on his bed with him. if they're doing it at Welton, they'll sleepily sneak back to their respective dorms and then not be able to keep their eyes open during class - mr keating, of course, notices and asks them how movie night was and if he 1. can recommend some movies and 2. if he can join next time because it looked like fun. everyone agrees

that's it!! again, i hope you fon't mind my input to your movie night headcanons :)

Dead Poets Society @ MOVIE NIGHT!!!

Inspired by @random-lil-illing 🙏🏻 I love writing HCs for DPS, nto sure if anyone has ever done this before for movie night but! oh well!

Okay first, I like to think that modern?! Knox- his family expecting him to become a lawyer like his father- once saw Legally Blonde, and fell in love with it. He is trying to convince the other poets to watch it one night. He would love Legally Blonde.

TODD LOVES HORROR I'VE SEEN OTHER PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THIS ON HERE- I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO BUT YES!!!!

Cameron loves dramas- I can see him being like "oh- 90s sitcoms are silly and I don't wanna waste my time watching that-" and then he ends up becoming super invested.

I also think Cameron would like reality television, again, becoming very invested

ANYWAY

It was Neil's idea to have a movie night, perhaps Neil's and Cameron's idea. They both organized it! Yippee!

Okay so- how did they manage to fit seven people, fifty blankets, and thirty pillows on one couch? I'll never know.

carpe couch ig

They end up watching a movie that just came out on DVD/streaming services or whatever.

Meeks insists that they could watch any movie, he could pirate it and all that, I've seen people talk about this too, which is so true.

However, they're using Todd's fancy fancy laptop for streaming onto the TV or projector, and Todd refuses to do that- boy wants NO viruses on his laptop!!

Pitts brings all the snacks!! or makes all of them.... he is snack man

thank you pittsie!!!

Would kill to have a movie night with them

Sometimes, if they know ahead of time what movie they're going to watch, Pitts will make treats themed to the movie!

Oh, they're watching Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin for Halloween? Pitts makes Snoopy cookies. thank you pittsie!!!

If they watch a sad movie, all of these goobers are crying by the end. Especially Knox. Knox is a mess, bless his heart.

Charlie is a couch hog, blanket hog, you name it.

I like to think they'd have monthly movie nights, and they take turns picking the movie

By the end of the movie, someone is snoring.....

that someone is either Charlie or Pitts

Charlie got distracted, Pitts on the other hand got happy with the Snoopy cookies and is now in a food coma. Can't blame the guy though, I'd be snoozin if I had a few Snoopy cookies and a tall glass of milk.
