I know most of tumblr is thinking about the USA right now. but fuck the nz government right now too. tomorrow, the treaty principles bill, the 'worst, most comprehensive breach of Te Tiriti in modern times' is being introduced to parliament early, because there were activations planned country wide and the cowards decided to pull it forwards. fuck this government. a friend of mine had to go home early, crying. I've been in shock all day since it came out.

Twilight Secret Gift Exchange 2024

Hi!  It’s that time of year again!  

What is this?  It’s a fun gift exchange for Twilight fans!  This gift exchange is open to everyone.  You make some kind of digital gift (edits, art, moodboards, playlists, fanfic, memes, etc.) for another Twilight fan, and you get a gift from someone else in return.

How to participate:

You can look through this blog for some examples of gifts from previous years under the tag #gifts.  If you have any questions, check out the FAQ page or message twilight-secret-gift-exchange.

If you’ve participated in the gift exchange before, I hope to see you again, and if you haven’t, I hope you consider joining this year!

To the people in the OTW Tumblr Inbox asking about how the OTW is responding to the American Election.

This is a separate post (and not a response to a specific message) because we all need to see it.

Folks have been asking Support (through the form) as well as the other social media mods, and we have now been given the following to tell you.

We've seen a fair bit of worry/scaremongering about this in the past week, so it's great to hear a clear response directly from the OTW. The first paragraph in particular is a good thing for fans to understand—bills like KOSA (already in progress) and whatever might come next are specifically aimed at commercial sites.

We strongly second supporting the orgs that have been preparing for a Trump win, especially the EFF (Elizabeth was their keynote speaker a few months ago, and they are very interested in working more with fans). They're obviously going to have a massive number of things to balance in the coming years—including very grave threats around privacy and security that Americans should be worrying about first and foremost—but protecting free expression on the internet will remain one of their priorities.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

just found out that there is a sudanfunds website! like gazafunds, it is a compilation of funds for people facing genocide
