The Thing Is, If Your Younger Self Was A Bigot Or An Abuser, U Can't Make People Forgive You. But You

Edit 4/7/24: Check out this post I made instead and try and redirect your attention to getting people out of Gaza as quickly as possible, thank you!

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

"Oh the media being biased/silent on Gaza is a conspiracy theory"

I am a literal journalist and this is what happened when I pitched an article to a magazine I write for:

We covered conflict before. We denounced PMs' positions as wrong before. But this is where the editor balks - anything that makes it look even vaguely like we might, possibly, support Gaza. Even if the article itself would not have been an opinion piece, but a news feature about events on the ground.

We have free press, baby! But avoid the matter entirely if you can. It's delicate and depressing, why would you talk about it? Don't rock the boat. Be quiet. You don't need to go there.

Self-censorship is alive and well.

Ivory and Gold

With Ninjago finally falling into a state of calm again, the Ninja finally find a chance to take a well deserved break after the whole Prime Empire debacle. What better to have time off than to visit the Kingdom of Shintaro upon official invite of King Vangelis, for his daughters birthday celebration. Only, Cole can’t help but feel that he’d already been to the ivory city before. The name at least rung a deeply hidden bell in his mind, the only issue was that he couldn’t place the memory.  4518 words

It wasn’t every day that being a ninja coincided with celebration and relaxation, but sometimes karmic justice did work in their favour.

STOP THE KOSA ACT!

This act will harm content creators that are POC or LGBTQIA+!! If you care about apps and platforms where your favorite fandoms are or your favorite content creators are ESPECIALLY if they are apart of the LGBTQ community or a POC person!! This act will wipe most sites/creators that are deemed as a “hazard” to kids and their mental health.

It has even passed on to the House of Representatives now! While it is a long way from being past, it is still a very urgent issue that must be addressed. Two (forgive me if I make a mistake here) senators from different states raised concerns when debating the bill the other day, our voices do have a difference!! Email and call your senators and sign as many petitions as possible!!

Another thing, the language used in the bill has been changed, they have updated the guidelines and it’s even worse than we thought as it’s even more clear they are going to try and silence LGBTQIA+ creators!!

The KOSA act is affecting people by taking away privacy first of all and wont be able to use social media and minors will have restrictions.

If this bill gets passed first of all it will be against the first and fourth amendment second of all we won’t be able to use social media anymore and we will always be monitored forever!

Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com

Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.

hi again ninjago fandom

Basically Clancee becomes a friend of the ninja after Splinter in Blind Man's Eye... Pixal offered an upgrade for his leg but he profusely refused.

Eventually he was convinced by only if it was mostly wood, and the wood from his original peg leg was kept. :] He got a piercing from Lloyd as a little memory from their trip as well!

Hes very thin and wirey due to constant time on ships and being the last to eat. (He gives his food to anyone who might need it more, even if hes extremely hungry himself) Despite this, hes still fit because of his work.

Oh also Clancee is based on Basilisks, and keeps some serpentine traits. Ex; his mouth and the fact he walks upright like adult serpentine. My little baby anxiety fellow :]]
