I get it, I really do, but I feel like ppl w decision paralysis related to Gazans are also suffering from a kind of non-malignant egotism
"who do I decide to give it to? everyone needs help! I can't help them all!"
You're not the only person they're asking!!!!!
If you choose one person to help that day, a bunch of other ppl choose others
stopping to overthink your inflated importance as an individual versus one in many is what's giving you paralysis
the more you burden yourself as an incapable hero the less you all act as a group-- which is the exact answer you're looking for
fkn close your eyes, scroll on OOB and donate to whoever you click on first
you're not god, it's not your job to save everyone
JUST DO SOMETHING

I've been going around asking my favorite writers for fics recs so now it's your turn: Got any fic recs?
I had to stare at this message for like a solid minute before it computed in my brain that you called me one of your favorite writers that’s so amazing oh my goodness thank you so much!
Here’s my first recommendation: Go to ao3 and just go into the miraculous ladybug tag and read whatever you find there. Seriously.
This fandom produces some amazing content and I can’t keep up with it all. Sometimes I just go into the tag and pick a random work and I love it almost every time. (The times I don’t love it are the times I pick angst and want to die, but there’s love there too. Just a pained love.)
Other than that, I’m just going to recommend any fic by any of these people (or all of them, really), but especially:
things left unsaid by @tei-gen (Ao3 profile)
Do you want your heart ripped out? Do you want to cry yourself to sleep every night? Read Tei’s stuff and despair. For such a nice person, the stories are incredibly cruel. (In the best way possible.)
weaving red strings and he’s not a siren by @miraculousturtle (Ao3 profile)
Ana has immaculate detail and beautiful descriptive prose, and also is just really really nice and I appreciate her existence. I picked two of the more fluffy pieces of hers (the second is a mermaid AU and is fantastic), but she will also rip your heart out and stomp on it, if you like that kind of thing.
Pickup Lines by @mirthalia (Ao3 profile)
First, Mirth is a delight. Second, this fic is everything I’ve ever wanted. Please read it. It’s short and sweet and perfect. Mirth hasn’t published anything else yet but you can bet it’ll be great when it comes.
I know you by @ladybugandblackcat (Ao3 profile)
John hates the attention but he really deserves it. Do you like disney songs? Do you like cute fluff? You’ll like this. (And in the future, he will kill you with angst. But not in this story. I’ve been promised.)
Tikki’s New Friend by @panda013 (Ao3 profile)
I died like 5 times reading this fic, it was so cute. Amanda is a super talented individual and it’s almost impossible to pick a favorite of her works. Everything is just gorgeous.
check yes juliet by @clairelutra (Ao3 profile)
This was the first fic I read in this fandom, I believe, and I regret nothing. I don’t know clairelutra as well as the rest of the people on this list but I’ve talked to her a few times and not only is she amazing, her writing is as well.
Secret Santa by @thelastpilot (ff.net profile)
If you’ve read any fics in this fandom you probably know Pilot, but just in case you don’t, read this and everything else Pilot has written. It’s fluffy and amazing and you will thank me.
If you’re suffering like me due to the lack of a new episode and if you’re craving Miraculous Ladybug fics, I highly recommend these :D Mainly for my own reference so I can keep track of what I want to keep reading, but hopefully you find something you like as well~ Credits to all the lovely writers who created the pieces c:
Heartstrings by taylortot on AO3 (She’s taylordraws on tumblr, please do check out her other stuff because it’s all super duper adorable) Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Chat Noir (so far) Status: Chapter 9/?, last updated on 2016/01/18 Summary: Absolutely flawless <3 I honestly can’t even summarize this, I promise it is amazing though! Steamy kisses in this c; Relationship development, working towards the identity reveal, etc.
Rainy Days by TheLastPilot on Fanfiction Pairing: Marinette/Ladybug x Adrien/Chat Noir (Has scenes with all 4 ships, with majority being Marinette x Adrien) Status: Complete (Chapter 10/10) Summary: PLEASE JUST READ IT :D I am completely in love with this piece! I’m not even over exaggerating to be nice or anything. It’s a brilliant, romantic fic, ending in an identity reveal. Lots of feels. They’re completely in love with each other, but Marinette and Adrien have times where they are torn for loving both of the other’s identities (which they don’t know yet), so prepare for a bit of hurt. The author also made an effort to be inclusive of all sides of the main ship. Furthermore, Adrien is a protective little sweetheart, standing up for Marinette when Chloe disrespects her. If you want to drown in fluff and romance, go for it.
Clear Skies by TheLastPilot on Fanfiction Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Adrien Status: Complete (Chapter 2/2) Summary: Sequel to Rainy Days! Post reveal, chapter 1 is about them settling down after what happened in Rainy Days, chapter 2 is the SWEETEST, CAVITY CAUSING, FLUFFIEST DATE EVER.
Boutique by TheJulyCentury on AO3 Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Adrien (so far) Status: Chapter 4/?, last updated on 2015/11/21 Summary: Marinette opens up an online store and Adrien later finds out, becoming an adorable, hot, hormonal, jealous mess (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Lucky Strike by Inkkerfuffle on AO3 Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Chat Noir (so far) Status: Chapter 5/6, last updated on 2015/11/28 Summary: Marinette stands up for Rose against Chloe, but gets suspended. Chat visits, and then steamy kisses c; Very cute storyline, worth the time reading even though each chapter is a bit more lengthy.
The Ladybugs and the Bees by BullySquadess on AO3
Pairing: Focuses on Ladynoir (so far) Status: Chapter 22/?, last updated on 2016/02/02 Summary: And the smut begins! Awesome fic, with a great storyline. So the first few chapters are about puberty, but I promise it’s essential for the rest of the story! So much Ladybug x Chat Noir, just them being expiremental teenagers etc. Honestly I personally loved it because they’re being such cute interactive darlings, so if you like smut with plot then go for it :)
The Consequences of Midnight Makeouts by Faequeen40 on AO3
Pairing: Marichat, Adrienette, Ladynoir? Status: Complete (Chapter 3/3) Summary: Hickeys, scratches on the back, reveal fic. First two chapters are about their school life with people seeing their love marks ;3 Chapter 3 is what got me though. If you’re a precious cinnamon roll, ch 3 might tear your heart out for 30 seconds or so because there’s a few lines of angst. Aside from that, it’s basically exactly what the title is (with Marichat), and then Adrien has suspicions of Marinette being Ladybug.
Secret Santa by TheLastPilot on Fanfiction Pairing: Focuses on Marinette x Adrien Status: Complete (Chapter 1/1) Summary: SO FLUFFY, very easily imaginable as canon. Adrien and Marinette get each other as their secret santa. Marinette is a precious little darling and Adrien is proud. Sweet and short c:
Too Real by PearLynn on AO3
Pairing: All 4 main ships Status: Complete (5/5) Summary: IF YOU NEEDED SIN, SEX, AND ALL THE SMUT, HERE YOU GOOOOOOO. Oral sex, identity reveal, and all that :’D Written very well, so it’s not JUST them being hormonal teens. Definitely recommended to all you smut craving lovelies.
Dont Wake Me Up by georgette_the_frog on AO3
Pairing: Covers most of the main ship Status: Complete (7/7) Summary: Just your average dose of dream smut, really all just dreams coming to an identity realization.
If you guys are looking for fics with Nathanaël as well, then look below the cut~
Keep reading

Love it when the kinda half-formed observations you make about an episode finally come to the forefront.
Watching the start of "Dot and Bubble": Hmm, everyone in this episode is very... white.
Halfway through: The Doctor certainly continues to stand out, especially in that bright red sweater amongst all the pastels
Lindy freaking out about the Doctor and Rose being in the same room together: I suppose that could be due to some cultural taboo about interacting in-person when everyone is supposed to communicate via bubble, but that doesn't track with what we've seen of her work day...
The "twist" that the chronically online, all white, super rich, entitled to the point of satire, willing to sacrifice others without hesitation, oh so eager to colonize people living in a literal bubble (TWO bubbles) are *gasp!* actually, devastatingly racist...
Yeah, that's not a twist. That's all deliberately interconnected. The episode didn't suddenly move from an argument about social media use to an argument about racism; the two historically go hand-in-hand.
@mist-fire is usually where I reside, though it's mainly Doctor Who
