okay not to be a downer but petitions won’t do anything for lebanon, reading a carrd by a westerner who has literally no clue what is going on apart from what the western media has told them won’t do anything for lebanon so it’s better if you read what an actual lebanese person has to say (their views on current political parties do not reflect every person from lebanon’s views, but at least it isn’t feeding into us imperialistic propaganda). signing petitions isn’t helping. please donate. this twitter thread explains why USD donations are important in this situation and provides links to many gofundme’s / other methods of donating. one of them leads to the Lebanese Red Cross app, and this explains in more detail on how you can donate. it isn’t a government organization, and according to people in the replies, the red cross is the best option and though the red cross in other countries have a bad reputation, this is apparently not associated with any other foundation. donating to individual people in lebanon might not work because their currency has been losing its value over the past couple months, so the best option is donate to organizations like Global Impact and the Red Cross, food banks, and gofundmes where the person will make sure the money is converted themselves (not through the website), also i would considering checking this account, they are part of an independently owned Lebanese media/news site and is actively updating their account / setting up new fundraisers and providing resources. make sure to check who you are donating to, you don’t have to donate to EVERYTHING you see but if you actually want to help, do not just sign petitions. donate to people or at least get others to donate if you currently don’t have the means to do so.
hey guys! last time I did this it seemed to be popular so let’s do it again! there’s nothing like to much positivity ♥
what is this?
basically it’s secret santa, only happening in October
you’ll be sending anonymous messages to another studyblr whose url I’ll randomly assign to you
the messages should be positive! talk about your day, tell them a story, compliment them, ask them stuff, anything you want! just keep them positive :)
someone else will receive your url as well and will also send you anonymous asks
the aim of this event is to meet new people and make friends
when?
this event will begin on the 5th October 2020 and last for a week, so will end on the 11th
you can continue sending asks after the week ends if you want :)
rules:
reblog this post to participate
pls only enter this if you are willing to commit to this
there’s no limit of the asks you should send but I’d recommend to send one per day (the more the better, we all love getting asks!)
have your ask box open with the anonymous option turned on! not everyone is comfortable being off anon
you can reveal who you are either at the end of the month or not reveal your identity at all! it’s up to you
the target group are studylbrs but langblrs and bookblr are welcome too
if you have any questions, feel free to ask
have fun :)

I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell.

Hello everyone!!
So with covid forcing most universities to switch to online instruction, a lot of incoming freshman as well as current students aren't going to be on campus. With this in mind I thought it could be fun to make a uni studyblr directory!!
Basically if you would like to participate please reblog this and add your university (or country/state if you're more comfortable with that), your major, and your year in the tags!! In a few days I will compile everyone's info into a large directory and masterpost. Feel free to participate if you are in undergrad or grad school!! This is really just for fun and to allow you guys to connect to people in your area/major!!
Tldr: making a uni directory reblog with major, year, and uni to participate
