For Those Who Don't Know, Rafah Crossing Is Closed. Meaning Palestinians In The Gaza Strip Are Technically

For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.

For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.

So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

p1 is such a weirdo also. i am a big believer he never had a gf or bf because even tho he's cute he's super off putting. He says weird shit that makes you think he might actually shoot up the mickie d's over how long the drivethru line is. But then he pretends it was a joke. but nobody knows. Nobody knows if thats true. Also he wears that trench coat in the arizona summer whats he hiding. Dont trust him

Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.

I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.

These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.

I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.

My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 🇵🇸❤️

can we like…get rid of the so-called leather and rubber “pride flags” ? it’s honestly ridiculous and offensive to the lgbtq community. those aren’t pride flags. 

the thing about voice claims for characters of color is that anybody with a white oc can just choose from the smorgasbord of existing white actors in the world or the armful of ppl they can name off the top of their heads to the point where voice claims are a common practice but for but with characters of color with specific accents I really have to spend like a week searching for someone in the world that sounds the way I need them too and is also employed as an actor of some sort and usually just end up circling back to the closest approximations

I prepare an answer for other people's sake but at the same time, just because I know what someone sounds like in my mind doesn't mean there's a representation of that in Hollywood that I can actually point to

this is *very* old but I still like it alot, I think a lot of people forget Cynthia's Garchomp is a girl(⁠ᵔ⁠ᴥ⁠ᵔ⁠)
