Thank you for this. I hate how people can't recognise the lack of consent within their relationship. It's coercion, kidnapping, and assault, plus they were both married.

[warning for rape and abuse]

I’ve been seeing quite a lot of pro-Paris posts on Tumblr of late, and can we just talk about this?

In the Iliad (and what survives of the cyclic poems), Paris is *not* a nice individual. He is cowardly, abusive, and refuses to take full responsibility for his actions.

First, his relationship with Helen is not romantic. They are not star-crossed lovers with all the world against them. He kidnaps her from her husband (who she actually chose from all the Greek princes) via what is essentially divinely powered date-rape. And when Aphrodite’s influence wears off, she hates herself for it, she hates Paris, and she hates Aphrodite. Or are we forgetting the end of Book 3 (‘κεῖσε δ᾽ ἐγὼν οὐκ εἶμι’, ‘I shall not go to that place [Paris’s bed]’)? Once again, Aphrodite has to force her into sleeping with him. Such a happy and well-founded relationship, no? Never mind that the only reason Helen is actually there is because she was used to bribe Paris in his position as judge of Miss Olympia 1200BC. It’s very telling that Helen thinks more highly of Hector than of Paris.

Let’s also look at how he acquired Helen: by taking advantage of his position as an honoured guest in the royal house of Sparta to steal their treasure and kidnap Helen. And as far as violations of xenia go, that pretty much trumps almost everything in the Odyssey apart from maybe the suitors. And then, when the entirety of Greece turns up clad in bronze and looking very angry on his father’s doorstep, rather than doing the sensible thing he acts like a spoiled child and forces the war to happen. Even ten years into this very bloody war, he’s only willing to give back the treasure and not Helen. He makes Agamemnon’s treatment of Achilles and Briseis look almost reasonable!

Shall we talk about Paris’s military prowess next? Despite being the cause of the war, he is conspicuous in his absence from the battle lines. He has no aristeia, and his battle tally comes to three minor Greeks, Nestor’s horse, and wounding Diomedes and Machon. Even Aeneas is more competent. Not only that, but with one exception, all of his hits are either from afar with the bow or while his enemy is fleeing. Even the one proper fight is won while Hector is storming along beside him. So very heroic. And when the battle resumes after his failed duel with Menelaus, where is Paris? Oh, he’s having sex with an unwilling Helen, rather than fighting in the war he caused.

If you want a nice Paris, go watch Troy or read some tragedy. Just don’t insist that the Iliadic Paris (coward, violator of guest-right, probable rapist) is a positive individual.

🍉 The ceasefire was stopped 🍉

⚠️ don’t ignore my text ⚠️

I am Mahmoud from North Gaza, studying computer engineering. I was working in a programming company during my studies. I got married a day before the war started and I was living in my house with my wife, but because of the war, things changed and I lost my house, my job and my father. 💔

It is very unfortunate and now my family has no breadwinner, so I desperately need your help. My wife is pregnant and we are suffering from famine. My child is my only hope in this world. I am asking you for a small donation so that I can provide food for my pregnant wife, please

✅️UPDATE 17/01/2025✅️

After the ceasefire in Gaza, hope has returned to us once again, giving us the strength to rebuild our lives.

now my wife is five months pregnant. She requires full care, including medications, vitamins, and medical attention.🤰👼

I beg you to help me and save my first child.🫀

My hope is for my child to come into better circumstances than these.

It is incredibly difficult for a child to be born in a tent, in the worst conditions, surrounded by insects and germs.

Please, help me build a new hope for this small family 👨‍👩‍👦

Hello 👋

I am the mother of LAYAN 12 years old, a mother of four children's from the Gaza Strip. 🇵🇸

The war has destroyed our lives and our families. I was injured in the damned war, and my body was broken, and my joint was damaged. 😔

We tried to escape from the war by the Ministry of Health, but we were unable to have the request, so I had to borrow money to get treatment in Egypt, as well as for my daughter to complete her high school studies, and for my son to take care of us on this journey. I suffered a lot to get my treatment, and I had to borrow money to pay the high cost of my treatment.  

Thanks to God, I completed my treatment in Egypt, and my daughter passed the secondary exams (Baccalaureate) after a hard work and study and the suffering and pain from the war,Her wish was to enter university like the rest of her friends, but due to lack of money, she is now unable to complete her studies.😞

I had applied to my daughter LAYAN, for a medical transfer, but it was delayed. Unfortunately, the RAFAH crossroads were closed. 

She is still stuck in GAZA with my other son, They are now suffering, regretting, and in pain. 

They have been displaced to another city. Rafah, The city we lived in has been completely destroyed. 

They are now in tents, and most of them are living a semi-life. They do not have the necessities of life. 

With the different weather in Gaza, my daughter suffers a lot because she did already some injured.

I hope that you all can stand by my side and support our story in raising money to get my family out of Gaza so that I can continue my life in Egypt with my children together.

Hello! 👋🏻 My name is Bethany-Grace. I'm the founder of Gaza Giving Tree, and I am sponsoring a Chuffed campaign specifically to help Hossam Al-Qazzaz and his family either rebuild their home or safely relocate out of Gaza.

Due to lack of infrastructure and income, the family has been forced to use the funds from their GoFundMe for essentials in order to survive.

Not wanting this precious family to be forced to make the decision between saving to eat and putting a roof over their heads, I made this separate Chuffed campaign to help Hossam, Hanan, and their family save for their future. 🌱🌳🏠

Hossam's campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters and is (#287) on their list of verified campaigns.

Help the Al-Qazzaz Family Rebuild Their Lives

My name is Bethany-Grace, and I am the founder of The Gaza Giving Tree, a volunteer initiative dedicated to amplifying the voices of civilia

Only white people would have the audacity to explain to me, a black woman about colonialism and the difference between them both as if my country wasn't culturally and socially deconstructed and controlled by Britain.

Compliancy within a system still perpetuates the system. It still harms the people who are exploited by it. Colonialism is multi-faceted, but compliance with the system, especially when you're directly benefitting from the system, is still harm and a bad thing.

After experiencing complications with gofundme, Mohiy and his family are now relying on paypal to receive donations. Please support his family through the link above and share.

Most of the funds Mohiy was able to raise on gofundme have gone towards his family's survival. With the rising costs of goods, they need continued support to be able to meet their most basic needs. Resources are scarce and expensive as it is, but winter has added to the suffering of everyone in Gaza, making the needs for things like warm food, warm clothes, and shelter even greater as cold and rain worsen already dangerous living conditions. Mohiy's mother, who suffers from chronic illness, is especially vulnerable right now due to the freezing temperatures.

Please donate and share to help offer Mohiy and his family some relief. Every contribution helps, no matter how small.

🏚️ From Rubble to Renewal — Help Mohamed Rebuild a Home Full of Hope 🌿

In the blink of an eye, the life we knew disappeared.

My name is Mohamed, and I’m writing this with a heart full of sorrow—but also a quiet flame of hope. Our family home, a place that held generations of memories, was reduced to rubble in an instant. The rooms that once echoed with laughter, the walls that witnessed our stories, and the garden where we dreamed of better days—all of it is gone.

And yet, we are still here.

Still standing. Still believing. Still dreaming.

Before the war, our home wasn’t just a structure—it was everything. It was the heartbeat of our family. We shared countless dinners around a modest table, whispered goodnight to one another across quiet rooms, and celebrated the small joys that made life meaningful. It was a place of love, of safety, of tradition.

Losing it has left a deep wound in our lives. But what we haven’t lost is our will to rebuild.

We are determined not to let destruction be the end of our story. We want to rebuild our home not just with bricks and wood, but with faith, with dignity, and with your support.

I know there are countless stories in the world that deserve to be heard, and I humbly ask that you take a moment to hear ours. We are turning to this community, to the kindness of strangers, because we believe in the power of people coming together to lift one another out of despair.

Your support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or even just a moment of your time—can help lay the first stone of our new beginning.

💛 Every dollar brings us one step closer to safety. 🧱 Every share gives our story a voice. 🌱 Every gesture, no matter how small, is a reminder that compassion can grow even in the harshest soil.

We are not asking for charity. We are asking for a chance. A chance to rebuild our lives, to give our children a roof under which they can dream again, and to find peace after so much pain.
