The Death Toll of the Earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria may have reached 20,000 people, and that’s outside of all those who are injured and lost.

If you could donate PLEASE do!!!

Here’s a post full of charities you could donate to, but I’ll add my own trustworthy ones here:

Islamic Relief:  teams are on the ground right now providing emergency food assistance, shelter, medical supplies to hospitals and clinics, as well as blankets and tents for those made homeless by the quake in Turkey and Syria

Molham: The team at Molham are currently on the ground helping displaced families in Turkey and Syria who have been affected by the earthquake   

The White Helmets: The team are on the ground in Northwest Syria searching for survivors and removing the dead from the rubble.

MSF: remaining in close contact with the local authorities in northwestern Syria and with the authorities in Turkey to extend their support where it’s needed. They’re providing essential life kits to displaced people in the region

please PLEASE reblog. Syria and Turkiye need our help!!!

i think i should probably make an intro post sooner or later...

Eiffel/Hera coded cards because I miss them and I love them too much and because it’s the only serious valentine thing ill think about today.

I am sick and tired of people saying the new Harry Potter game is "Just a video game" and that "You are being antisemitic for seeing Jewish people as goblins" (we fucking dont, but to you people dogwhistles dont exist, so)

So Im gonna fucking tell you how its NOT just a video game, and that dogwhistles are a thing that exist, and you need to start seeing them if you want to be an ally to Jewish people.

I think the most obvious thing to people is the use of a Shofar as a "Goblin Artifact." For those who dont know, Shofars are a Jewish religious instrument :)!!!!

Wow!!! That doesnt look good! What does that artifact look like to you...?

Aha!

You see that?

"Used for Jewish religious purposes."

Now, lets get into the less obvious things to you people (that SHOULD be obvious)

In the Harry Potter world, Goblins were depicted as bankers. In the movies, they were depicted with large, hooked noses and pointy ears, with sharp rat like teeth.

"But OP! Thats just what goblins are in fantasy! They are greedy and ugly!" Have you ever considered that old folklore and fairy tales could be antisemitic too? Antisemitism ran in Europe for CENTURIES, not just during WWII.

You know what else is an antisemitic jewish stereotype? Greedy for money, maybe bankers that rule things behind the scenes with big hooked noses, rat like looks, pointy ears and occasionally horns.

How are none of you seeing this.

Not only that, in one of the movies, inside the bank, a symbol that looks suspiciously close to the star of david is used.

Oh but yk..its just a game, I guess, according to y'all.

The game of course has other problems. Its world building is awful, the story is literally just a blood libel (which is also antisemitic), theres not enough content for the $60 its worth unlike other $60 games, and they legit named a trans women character fucking Sirona Ryan. Any money you give to this game will be given to JK Rowling because all of the programmers and developers already recieved their pay. Not only that, but their lead dev is just as awful if not moreso than JK Rowling.

"Its just a game! Look at the transgender people being killed in the streets!"

Maybe you'd be right if it werent for the fact Rowling literally has the status and money to fuck trans people over in the UK. And not only that, you are actively consuming antisemitic content and not caring for your jewish cousins around you because of your want for a nostalgia factor.

So no, Carol, its not just a game.

Buy it or pirate it if you want, but dont be surprised when transgender and jewish people alike dont trust you, because I certainly wont.
