previous urls: aromarunwayexpress, otoutties, chososhairbuns

i block: bigots, capitalists, pro-lifers, zionists, bootlickers, MAPs, incest and pedophilia shippers, people who aren't critical of their favorite media, people who give tumblr and/or ao3 money, and fans/defenders of canon pedophiles. if you're none of these things and you're still blocked, it's likely nothing personal and i was simply curating my space when i did it.

other things to note:

  • spam likes/reblogs = OK
  • minors (or people who don't wish to see suggestive/sexual/etc content) blacklist and dni with posts tagged with #minors dni
  • i regularly tag commonly blacklisted subjects by default (blood, drugs, etc.), provided that it isn't anything important that everybody should see.
  • that being said, i have memory problems so i may have trouble remembering to tag more unconventional things for specific people. that being said, i'll still try and do my best with this.
  • NOT a fandom blog so don't follow me for media/fandom posts and then be surprised when i also make/reblog personal/political/etc posts
  • if i say something bad or reblog from someone shitty, please tell me and keep me in check
  • with all that said, i think of myself as pretty chill and try to take most things in good faith so please don't hesitate to interact with me i'm not scary at all :]

Watching how the media has been treating this case is absolutely fascinating. We (Black ppl) have been saying this shit for years. But now since the public’s reaction to the CEO of the shittiest insurance company in the country being murdered ranges from apathy to “good” and ppl are calling out how they’re obviously trying to make an example of him so the rest of the Poors don’t get an ideas, they’ll admit to their biased coverage. The ruling class must be a little shook.

If Luigi here had gunned down a room of kindergartners, they would’ve been plastering pictures of him with friends and family in articles about mental health (lol) and asking where his life went wrong. Instead they have this man doing pap walks surrounded by FBI agents with rifles and calling him a terrorist for killing one(1) piece of shit. Dylann Roof murdered 9 Black people IN A CHURCH and was taken to Burger King after he was arrested.

You’ll never get me to feel bad for the CEO of United fucking Healthcare.

operation olive branch reporting former volunteers to the FBI?!

Where did you hear about this?

If this is true, this honestly pushes me to believe that my initial reticence towards the OOB - which led me to start doing my own verifications - were somewhat founded even if they were based only on speculation and skepticism.

I learned it from volunteers speaking out on tiktok.

Theyre talking about how a lot of gaslighting and toxic bureaucracy goes on within the core which is keeping aid from actually getting to Palestinians. If you demand accountability for the money and what's it's being used for, you're isolated, the families you help are not given aid At All in retaliation, or now you're reported to the FBI I guess.

Tumblr is uploading one of the videos (since I know a lot of people don't have tiktok but still think you should be able to see this) and I'll be uploading a few more.

That said

Part 2 where the same user reads a statement clarifying they were reported for defamation of the core member's reputations among other "cyber crimes."

Besides that they've been speaking out for awhile about the lack of ethics within OOB. so this here is a link to the organized playlist they made of each tiktok they made about it. It's 71 parts/videos.

Screenshot of the complaint that ChyGunn posted.

Since the links are bouncing, these are 3 of the 4 ex volunteers where I got my info

Chygunn is reading the complaint and has the OOB playlist. Their videos about being reported to the FBI are also labeled as such and they're also recent (within the last day) so you don't have to scroll forever to find them.

This user, acabforcutet, is another ex volunteer who confirms that almost everything chygunn has experienced was also true for her. as well as having a back and forth with someone else which amounts to a clear cut incident of being gaslit by OOB

Faith has posted about the way OOB treated her, families she's sponsored, and how OOB refused to address any concerns she brought up. They're the vids with the red labels and yellow marks.

I did post a lot of these videos to my Tumblr for people without tiktok so they're all up now under #Operation Olive Branch if anyone wants to see them.

@el-shab-hussein i watched a few videos (thanks for linking them sibeblog side b!!) And Chy says the list of families is legit no matter what. Apparently OOB had donations to the org (?) Or something that they took for themselves but the list of families is separate from that. Here's the link where they said that:

In this harsh winter, the cold is always with us. Every night, I pull my children into my arms in a desperate attempt to shield them from the cold air seeping through the small cracks in our tent. No heating, no clothes to protect them from the biting wind. This is our reality, where one nearly forgets oneself in the midst of the fight for survival. ❄️

Each day carries a new fear. Will we manage to warm ourselves tonight? Will we find food to feel warmth from the inside? These were my daily questions, as I watch my children try to sleep in indescribable conditions. 😔

Our support campaign started as a lost hope in a storm, but with every contribution, no matter how small, I feel a beam of light illuminating the way. 🌟 It wasn't just donations; it was moral support that gave me the strength to continue fighting. Thanks to God, and to all those who supported us, we managed to overcome some difficulties. But the challenges are not over yet. 🙏

My name is Hilda, a chemist from Gaza. I lost my job and home due to the war, and now I live in a tent with my husband and family. I am four months pregnant, and my doctor has told me that I need a proper diet and medication due to nutrient deficiencies, but I cannot afford them.

listen. white people. LISTEN to me. if a person of color yells you that you did or said something racist the appropriate response is to go "oh shit, sorry" and maybe MAYBE a follow up of "can you elaborate" if you dont understand why and thats. IT. we do not need elaborate prose about how sorry you are or how grateful you are for us telling you or how youre working on unlearning it or whatever. JUST SAY SORRY AND DONT DO IT AGAIN THATS IT ❤️

if you talk like this to me i will be so fucking aggravated

🌹The cry of an orphan child who wants to survive and escape from stricken Gaza🌹

👋I am Sabreen, a widow and the mother of four young children: Toleen, 10 years old, Obaida, 9 years old, Laith, 7 years old, and Ghaith, 5 years old.

My children and I had to flee from one place to another after our house was completely destroyed, and we faced unimaginable hardships as I struggled alone to provide for their needs. Despite this, the occupation army ordered us to move south under the pretext that these areas are safe. My young son was injured in the head, and because of the massive displacement that the occupation army threatened us with, we moved. At least 9 times from one place to another, and I faced many difficulties with my children because I did not find anyone to turn my back after the death of my husband, may God have mercy on him.

All I had was my home and my dear children, then the occupation forces came and completely destroyed our home, leaving us only with each other. Now we are homeless, without shelter, and without anyone to turn to.

I am in urgent need of immediate treatment abroad to prevent my illness from getting worse, and to secure a decent life for my orphaned children. Their education, which was interrupted by the war more than a year ago, needs to be resumed.

Children are expected to move away from this never-ending conflict, to a place where they can experience the safety that every child deserves. A life where you can grow in dignity, away from war, with access to everything necessary to live safely

Please save my orphan children from under bombing and destruction with your donation, which can save an entire family via the link.

With the utmost respect and appreciation ،

Sabren❤️

my problem as a writer and as a roleplayer is that I always want characters to do that thing where you hold your hand out, palm to the ground, and kind of tilt it quickly left and right to express uncertainty or a "kinda-sorta"/"yes and no" vibe. but I don't know an official term for this so I always just call it the Noncommittal Hand Waggle

somebody appears to have responded to this post... via the contact form on bandcamp, using the burner email "[email protected]"

It is the sign of the scales. The scales have not settled and they waggle back and forth. Like this like that.

and you know what. I never thought about that before but it's probably right. why the fuck would you tell me this via the bandcamp contact form of all things, and why would you phrase it like you're writing an esoteric treatise encoded via metaphor
