Thank You For This. I Hate How People Can't Recognise The Lack Of Consent Within Their Relationship.

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.

Hello dears! I am asking you to support my campaign to help me reach my goal. I am in dire need of your support now to help me stay alive and safe. Gaza is a very dangerous place both in terms of living and lives. The family consists of 20 members, most of them are young children. I need your financial support to enable me to get the basic needs for my family until the Rafah crossing is reopened to transport my family to safety and peace. Please help a family stay alive through your small donations or through your shares to others. Thank you very much for standing by those in need. My campaign 90-ghoset has been documented

Not a single lie was told. Let's add the rampant internalised misogyny, abelism, and casual racism

It's actually your civic duty to share Ursula le Guin's casually devastating, icily astute take down of the Harry Potter novels whenever you see it.

UKL: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the "incredibly originality" of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid's fantasy crossed with a "school novel", good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

⚠️ 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

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.

I liked certain aspects about barou no souretsu (except that awful ass relationship between richard and henry), but anne should have beaten Buckingham to death

you know, when you think about it

Anne Neville from the requiem of the rose king has the shittest life and she did nothing to deserve that She was used as her fathers commodity, Richard, her first love( possible his first love too, since Henry the 6th and Buckingham is both TOXIC with a capital T)but Richard shut himself out from Anne due to a misunderstanding and stubborn person with low self esteem and somewhat his misogyny. Her first husband says right to her face “ I love Richard, he’ll never love you, I don’t feel any love at all” when Anne, a cute kind and considerate person is right in front of him!talks LOVE IS BLIND IN SO many ways for prince Edward. Then, Anne’s forced into battle while being pregnant, her husband and mother in law is killed, gets treated brutally by her sister and her husband, runs away while being pregnant in her teens, mourning for her father in law when her first love comes up and says “ EVEryone waits for your death, the worst thing you can say to a woman who’s pregnant with a baby that gets its head chopped off at that time. Then her first love puts a who lame show of propose ( while really speaking to Anne’s father in law and her husband being attracted to him which makes it a whole list of drama) and says “If you don’t believe me, stab me’l She’s backed into a wall while having no where else to go and no one to help her. She has to accept marrying Richard while being treated like dirt for all her remaining life and being cheated on by Buckingham (him also being married which makes Richard and Buckingham a whole another story of being total dickheads)and forces to protect her son alone while dying of tuberculosis and loving Richard even though she was never told about his secret until the end.

I mean, Anne DESERVES rights to kick Buckingham in the face and chop off his genitals, scream at Richard for saying the worst things you can say to a pregnant woman in her teens carrying a baby that would be executed the moment his parentage is revealed, with her only family treated her like shit and basically keep her in a cage in hopes of killing her and Richard threatening her to marry him while not taking a no for an answer, and later revealing Edward’s lineage to Buckingham, which is a high risk of him killing Edward. She has every rights to say “F*ck all of this shit, don’t blame me for anything and F*ck y’all for ruining and taking my life and throwing it to the ground, I will be taking Edward and George’s kids and leaving, this is not a great place for raising kids where everyone is f*cking with one another and have lost all sense of moral and self dignity.”

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.  

Hello 👋

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.😞

Hello 👋
Hello 👋

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. 

Hello 👋

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.

I am Maram, a second-year student majoring in Information Technology. I never imagined myself in a position where I would have to ask for help, but circumstances are stronger than us, and I have no other choice but to speak up.

My father is a hardworking man who sacrificed his life to provide us with a decent one. But after the war, we lost everything. Our home was destroyed, and we were forced to leave behind all our memories and become displaced. My father tried every possible way to raise funds so we could survive, but every time, his account would get banned or shut down for no reason—it's as if even the right to ask for help is forbidden to us! Every time we find a glimmer of hope, it is quickly taken away.

On top of all this, my father suffers from severe back pain due to spinal disc issues and is still undergoing treatment. Yet, he endures the pain and does everything he can to provide us with a stable life. But the truth? Things are harder than anyone can imagine!

Housing has become a heavy burden, prices are skyrocketing, rent keeps increasing every month, and we have no stable source of income. The economic situation is suffocating, and everything has become so expensive that even basic necessities feel like luxuries! My father carries all these burdens on top of his physical and emotional suffering, and I can't just stand by and watch.

That’s why I decided to create this account myself and try to help him, even in the smallest way. If you are reading this now, I am not just asking for support—I am asking for a chance to save my family from falling apart and to give my father a bit of relief after everything he has been through. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us stand on our feet again. 💙

Please help us continue our journey. 🙏

My father's Tumblr account was verified by several people

My Friend Sama Has Been Through A Lot. She's Lost Her Husband After Making A Fundraiser With The Dream

My friend Sama has been through a lot. She's lost her husband after making a fundraiser with the dream of being able to save her whole family and be able to escape as one piece. That did not happen, but she still has herself and her two kids, Nour and Arkan. They get skin diseases that are expensive to care for and because they live on a tent on the beach, she wakes up to find poisonous bugs that enter the tent while her children sleep.

Her current goal is to reach $15,000 by the end of October, to help procure winter gear and food. So please help in any way possible.
