Hi guys,
Heads up, because of the intensity of some things in my life right now, I am going to have to turn off messaging on here for a few days. I can't keep up. If needed you can always tag me.
NOTE: I AM STILL OPEN TO POSTING GAZA FUNDRAISERS IF SUBMITTED. However, I cannot guarantee they will be posted in an exceptionally speedy fashion. If the ask function doesn’t work for this because of tumblr’s limited settings, again you can tag me!

Casual reminder that the Palestine Children's Relief Fund has a 97% on Charity Navigator and you should donate to it if u can. Despite the limited external aid that's been allowed into Gaza, they've been able to distribute a lot of aid internally. And they are providing needed aid to Lebanon.

Earthjustice is now bigger, stronger, and better prepared than in January 2017 when Trump first took office. With more than 200 attorneys across the country, we’re the legal backbone of the environmental movement. We held the line when the first Trump administration attacked protections for endangered species and public lands, slashed safeguards for clean air and water, rolled back regulations on poisonous chemicals, and undercut the independence of scientists. We’ve shown that we can take on the Trump administration’s worst ideas and win. And we know that no organization can succeed in this fight alone — we will work with our many partners to take on his extremist agenda.
We will fight the Trump administration on every front, including:
Ensuring freedom from deadly pollution. We know a top Trump administration priority is to gut regulations of toxic chemicals that cause illnesses like cancer and asthma. That’s why one of our top priorities will be protecting the Biden administration’s recently issued rules requiring the nation’s biggest chemical polluters to cut toxic emissions.
Protecting our investments in a new clean economy. We will fight to protect the Biden administration’s unprecedented investments in climate solutions, including the Inflation Reduction Act. And we’ll do it while challenging the Trump administration’s attempts to open up our public lands and waters to oil and gas drilling.
Using the power of the law to protect all species. The first Trump administration went after the Endangered Species Act (ESA), our best defense against the biodiversity crisis. Our successful litigation stopped habitat destruction and trophy hunts for key species and pushed the Biden administration to reverse some damaging changes to the ESA. We’re prepared to do it again to protect the web of life that sustains us all.
Reinforcing the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law. We have proven that we can win in front of the most hostile courts. But Trump will continue to try to stack the bench with judges who don’t believe the federal government has a role in protecting the environment — and we will continue to loudly push back. We will pursue a legal strategy that chooses cases and arguments carefully, while pushing for needed court reform to restore impartiality and fairness.
Trump’s return to the presidency is a challenge to our democratic principles and the laws that protect our planet and its people. But we’re ready for the fight, and we know how to win. We’ve done it before — and with your support, we’ll do it again.

The Princess Bride is such a funny book to read after ONLY seeing the movie. Like Goldman made up a fake author from a fake country and proceeded to write the book as an abridged version of what the fake author wrote... and then he proceeds to add in notes to the "abridged version" mentioning all the boring world building stuff he skipped because it was boring.
Like shout out to William Goldman, man really did make an entire book that is just "the cool scenes you thought of in your head" and then made up a fake author to abridge so he doesn't have to connect them.
And it slaps
I used to work at a used bookstore, and had a group of three teenage boys come in wanting the "Unabridged Version" of Princess Bride.
They would not believe that it was a narrative device and the unabridged version didn't exist. Said no author would credit someone else for their own writing, that was ridiculous, and was there a guy who knew about fantasy they could talk to?
I grabbed a coworker and left him to deal with it. Heard him explaining the concept of a pen name as I walked away.

I am Lynn Matar, a mother of five children. The wife of Ahmed Matar. My husband traveled to the Netherlands. A month before the war, he had to make a living, and I endured and insisted on continuing in Gaza alone, without a breadwinner. 😭 In Gaza, after the occupation destroyed our home. Our situation is very difficult. She lives in a tent and suffers from the high costs of war. The children suffer from some serious diseases, and they need help to get the necessary medical care, in addition to food and shelter. Help us travel to my husband and live a safe and stable life. 👨👩👦👦🙏 Donating is a glimmer of hope in the darkness of this war. Please donate and participate. Via https://gofund.me/f18c36b8
