them: if you keep talking about how pretty girls are, it will make people think you’re gay
me:
Some of you are operating under this weird white savior idea that you’re saving Palestinian culture by mass consuming Palestinian themed items without sensitivity or reason. You’re not saving Palestinian culture by mass buying kuffiyeh print scrunchies or doing Palestinian miku fanart - you preserve Palestinian culture by preserving Palestinians. Palestinians are going to be the ones preserving our culture, just as we have for decades before this escalation. Not you. Please take a step back and actually treat our customs and identity with respect, not just a thing you can take from.
bisexual percy is so great tho
Israel has been making the population of Gaza evacuate to the South for the last month as they carpet bombed the North into dust (while also bombing the South every other day to mix things up). Most everyone had gone to Rafah as they had specified. With the ending of the truce on 1st December, they immediately began bombing the South. Yesterday they bombed Khan Younis, the Southwestern point of Gaza which was supposed to be safest, reducing eleven residential buildings to rubble. The new thousand families displaced have nowhere else to go.
The most popular and famous journalists who have been reporting from Gaza are now posting what feels like goodbyes.

Translation:
God bears witness that I am very tired and I am grieving over all my pain and all my fatigue because I know very well that many people take their strength from me and I must not be weak because Palestine wants me still, but I swear I have seen so many things that I cry every night before - I cannot sleep and to the point that I have nightmares to the point that I have 58 Day 2 I don’t know anything about my family and I don’t communicate with them. However, I continue to post, but it seems that the world has finished and will not respond. God willing, you will wake up when we are all annihilated and cease to exist.
Motaz Azaiza is arguably the most famous journalist in Gaza right now. The freelancer rocketed to popularity for his kindness, dogged good cheer, ability to find rays of hope amid constant disaster and death threats. Middle East GQ put on their cover while he was begging the international community for help as he covered Israel's atrocities and watched his friends die one after the other.
He posted hours ago:
Translation:
"The stage of risking everything to bring you the news has ended, now begins the stage of trying to survive. I've brought you enough news, as god is my witness, in order to save my country. We are now facing an internal siege. We can't move north or south. Israeli tanks surround central Gaza on both the northern and southern ends. Our situation is more dire than you can imagine. Remember: we are not content for you to share. We are a people facing genocide, we are a cause attempting to stay alive, alone."
Plestia Alaqad reposted his story to her own Instagram and added:

No one who hasn't been following them understands how devastating this is to witness. They've become like family to all their millions of followers. The first thing I do every day is check if Hind, Motaz and Bisan are alive and ok. I'm not remotely exaggerating when I say these are the most heroic, indefatigable, determined people most of us have ever seen in our lives. I pity everyone who hasn't had the privilege to follow them. I don't believe in a God and yet the force of their faith has me praying that they survive too.
But imagine if they made the Rick Riordan books into a movie franchise like the Marvel Cinematic Universe that followed the storyline, casted actors that were the right age and the right personality and everything, with end credit scenes hinting at the different mythological worlds and big crossovers and Rick Riordan cameos

i’m not aromantic but i believe in their beliefs
Book 1:
Crushes, friendship, good v. evil. Characters are loveable, and relateable. Absolutely iconic. Ending is adorable.
Book 2:
Female empowerment! Everyone is still loveable in their own little way. Nothing too crazy, just glad the babies are okay.
Book 3:
Tedros, you ignorant slut. Some insanely cute tagatha moments. But book 4 will straighten everything out, right?
Book 4:
Hell fire. Absolute madness and chaos. Tedros proves to be even more of an idiot, and Agatha is just strugglin ™️. Reader is advised to put the book down multiple times to avoid angrily combusting.
Hey bud, you okay? I heard Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths being blasted from your bedroom earlier.
