Reminder that communications in all of Gaza have been cut off for the past three days. This means no one can make calls to check on family members within Gaza or to report and call for help/ambulances following Israeli airstrikes. As a result, many end up dying due to injuries or being trapped under the rubble with no possible way of notifying anyone. Of course this also goes hand in hand with Israel intensifying their bombardment of every part of Gaza after having isolated it from the world.
You can help by purchasing e-sims. I will share a long post with all the details and instructions shortly and you can also Venmo smaller amounts if you're unable to buy a whole bundle so that bigger plans can be bought for families.
give me a batman comic where their trauma actually affects them.
bruce gets to be affected by trauma. his parents haunting his narrative and him making it everyone’s problem. his decline after jason died. his hatred of guns. damian does, too. his hallucinations of alfred. the inner turmoil he goes through almost everytime he sees talia.
but it’s literally only them except for a select few comics. with everyone else, everything is forgotten when the next run starts.
give me a dick grayson who is so terrified of loss from losing so many people that he worries himself sick everytime any of his siblings don’t answer a phone call.
give me a jason todd who can’t stand to be in small spaces due to waking up in a coffin and digging himself out of his own grave.
give me a stephanie brown who still thinks about her child everytime she sees a baby.
give me a tim drake who has to force himself not to flinch everytime there’s an explosion because of how many people he killed in the league of assassin bombings.
give me a cassandra cain that reverts back to silence when she gets hit with fear gas.
give me a duke thomas that spends every spare second he has researching potential cures for his parents.
like?? give me a comic where they’re human.
i am. so sorry if i have ever used the phrase “i have an au where—” and led you to believe that there is an actual fic out there for you to read rather than, at best, a post where i explain the concept, and at worst it is simply something that lives in my brain
This video is from 2021 but still holds true to this day.
It's of a Palestinian child telling an Israeli soilder to get off her land.
And this, this is unironically the biggest threat to Israel.
That the people of the world are not with them.
That they are exposed as the illegal occupation colonising land that does not belong to them, while they try to wipe out the indigenous Palestinian population.
A six year old child telling them this land isn't there's, that's what they are most afraid of.
50% of Gaza is made up of children like this.
This is who Israel want to wipe out.
Hamas even used a recording of 2 children speaking in Arabic and the Israeli soilders came running.
Not because they knew Hamas was there, but because they heard the sound of children and came running with their guns.
They are the terrorists.
They are the ones carpet combing civilians, killing Palestinians and Israeli civilians.
They are the monsters.
But they aren't feared.
Trying to keep your footprint as low as possible is a great way to self-destruct.
And I'm not saying this to people who take two hour showers during international flights while shoving red meat into their mouth. I'm saying this to my fellow activists who feel conflicted about heating their home on fossil fuels even though they don't have any other options (and struggle to afford it).
Like, we can talk about how 'consumer choice' is never going to save the planet and stuff, but more importantly: You are not a sin. Your basic needs deserve to be met. You deserve to be warm and filled with food that satisfies you and you deserve to see your friends.
We are not fighting to save 'the planet', that's a piece of rock. We want to save ecosystems and plants and animals, including people. You are part of that. Don't leave yourself out of the list of creatures that deserve to thrive.
I live for the bats not realizing how intimidating they are out of costume.
Like, they know how they come across while suited up, but they have no idea how scary they are as civilians.
Like, Bruce has an inkling, that's why the Brucie persona is so extremely stupid.
Dickie has no idea
Jason has trouble imagining himself as anything other than a malnourished preteen
Tim isn't physically imposing, but he sets people on edge
Steph has the musculature to break every single bone in your body
Cass seems to read your mind
Duke is kinda uncanny
...
Damian THINKS he's intimidating while actually just being adorable
Kate is very aware of how scary she is at all times. It's intentional
Don't take my brain vomit too seriously
i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what
Red Hood’s all about keeping his secret identity from almost everyone, right?
He’s going to all his meetings with the hood on and never lets any of his ‘business partners’ or goons or allies unrelated to the bats see his face, right???
He either gains enough trust or completely forgets to put it on as he walks in on his goons, his gang, if you will.
They all just kinda side eye this kid who just walked in and started ordering around until one of them finally speak up questioning this kids existence and whatnot. Hood whips around to yell at them for their insubordination but goes to run his hands through his hair or something and is genuinely surprised when his fingers DO go through his hair. So he just walks out of the room in a huff until he walks back in and says the exact thing. All the goons immediately burst into action and don’t question the kid who walked in and said the exact same thing moments ago…
In another instance he forgets his hood under his arm and starts addressing everyone but this time they react a bit more aggressively. This time he just sighs and puts the hood on his head. It’s an instant reaction but Doofenshmertz style, “a kid with a hood giving us orders?” To, “Red Hood giving us orders!”
Tim sees it this time and never lets him live it down, periodically calling him Perry the Platypus.
Following up on my post here. In 2-3 days the United States has:
- Declared the events in Sudan as a genocide
- Placed sanctions on UAE companies financing and arming RSF genocidaires.
- Watched over a ceasefire deal between the zionazi occupation and the Palestinian resistance.
What you need to know is this:
1) U.S. definitely ran out of money lmaooo
2) This was always on the table. Biden and Harris could've done this from the start. Instead, they do this 1 week before Trump inauguration to move the foreign policy agenda elsewhere.
The U.S. was performing genocide in Sudan and Palestine simultaneously and intentionally.
Don't you ever dare forget this.
Remember.
I fucking hate hostile architecture
