I do wholeheartedly believe Wes Anderson is a sick sick freak. I like his movies but I definitely think this guy has like a hidden room in his spacious french apartment that he slips into quietly each night and it is just filled with tiny little doll replicas of all the actors he's ever used in any of his movies and he puppets them around and mimicks their voices and shit. and sometimes he'll text Owen Wilson pictures of his little doll with a comb or something from an untraceable number and pair it with like "see how I take care of you Owen?" and then the following day Owen Wilson will find him at the service table and go, "Geez Wes look at this," and Wes will pretend to be all concerned and horrified but there is this calculating almost eager look in his eyes that unsettles Owen Wilson. and the next time Wes is having a little soiree with all his actors, his beloved beloved actors, maybe Owen Wilson will accidentally get lost on his way to the beautiful bathroom and find that little room and see all those dolls and his throat will hitch with horror. And before he can call Bill Murray or Adrian Brody to look a dark silhouette will appear in the doorway and Wes looks sort of resigned when he says, "I see you finally found my secret, Owen," and Owen Wilson will try and pretend that he's fine with it but they both know better. and Wes will go (the look in his eyes back again) "We both know this can't get out, right?" and he'll grin very suddenly and Owen Wilson will laugh along very nervously and leave the room and eat some brioche and when the evening is over he will rush over to his Prius and frantically click his keys but over the cobbles on the beautiful beautiful street there is the sound of footsteps. and tears are running down Owen Wilson's cheeks but he can't say a word and Wes, emerging from the shadows, will gently touch him on the shoulder and say, "look, I'll drive you to the airport, huh?" and Owen Wilson will try to refuse but they both know it's futile. and, halfway through the drive, Wes Anderson will smile and say, "I'll miss working with you" and then perfectly jump and roll out of the car, wiping off his corduroy pants, while Owen Wilson's Prius swerves into a local patisserie, bursting into flames

This is my first time watching the show so forgive me if I'm wrong but something that drives me insane is Claudia is forever one of their sister, yes, but also 'OUR' daughter. SISTER MINE, yes. But also "The wilderness that is OUR DAUGHTER". God she never was allowed any identity was she

Time Sensitive: 8 Days to Achieve Goal!

As you know, crowdfunding platforms are notorious for terminating fundraisers so Palestinians cannot support themselves during this extremely dangerous time. One of them is PayPal. They have shut down fundraising services on October 7th, 2024, and those with an existing fundraiser have until January 12th, 2025 to complete their goal.

Iyad Sobhe (@iyadsgaza) and Ruba (@rubashsblog) are long time neighbours and friends who consider each other as family. They are raising funds with PayPal ever since GFM has either terminated their fundraiser or made them lose access. Iyad has lost 11K while Ruba can no longer withdraw the 27K.

They can not afford to start over when PayPal is their last resort. This means we have less than 8 DAYS to raise the entire amount of 60K! Please donate and share! Donations have slowed down significantly, resulting in 1 or 2 donations per day, when we should be raising $600!

You can match me! I've given $10 USD, and if we have at least 60 people contribute the same amount in a month, we would able to succeed! (You're more than welcome to give any amount! Even as little as $1 since PayPal accepts such amount!)

Verification: #90 for Ruba and #173 for Iyad in the spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi [Keep in mind that the document has not been updated and does not reflect the current fundraiser. You can learn about it here].

We have 7 days to help Iyad, Ruba, and their families achieve the entire amount of 60K! You can give as little as $1 USD since PayPal accepts such amount! At the same time, they need to purchase basic necessities since the prices have sky rocketed. So please donate and share!

Only $15 raised in the last five days!!!

Nothing has been donated in two days.

We have a little more than four days left.

I really hate it when white people try to jokify things they identify / percieve as Islamic, because they absolutely do not understand the context of things but want to laugh at us. And it ends with unintentionally horrible situations like this:

"By Allah, you people are dogs, I will continue as usual" was something being stated by a television cook in response to some Sunni-targetting sexual harassment on the show. He followed it up by stating his support for the defunct anti-Shia policies that Saddam Hussein held to massacre Shia people in Iraq. "You people are dogs" was him dehumanizing Shia people before him stating he believed Shia people should be wiped out. I was already uncomfortable when that still was getting turned into a meme by other SWANA and Muslims. So what makes these crackers think this is for them to get involved in? Fuck off. Stop trying to butt in on everything and try and get a piece of the pie. There are places you simply don't belong to, and certainly not without putting in the effort to connect with the people therein.

PS: every cracker who says "Insha'allah", "Alhamdulillah", and "Masha'allah" as a joke should eat shit.

Cracker's TLDR: "By Allah you people are dogs" is not some 'Islamic phrase' you cunts.

i see "men bad" jokes as very similar to suicide jokes. like making them every once in a while isn't the worst thing, but if you Keep making them constantly. it DOES shape how you start thinking and you WILL become a more unpleasant and bitter person and also make people around you uncomfortable. and sometimes you just gotta choose to not make or engage with certain jokes, even if they are amusing to you, because its just not who you wanna be

ASSAD ZAMAN as Armand

the full article is really informative (and does use the word slavery)

Pulling information from this article to highlight because this is unconscionable and deserves more attention (all emphasis mine).

Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | 2.03

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

Here's a link to ChyGunn's tiktok where they state that they, along with three other volunteers, were reported by OOB to the FBI. They said they were also contacted by OOB's lawyer.

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:

Wanted to chime in that I’ve seen a tik tok from @ Clarke.Jones of her discussing the paying directly thing.

But also that OOB may not actually be a non profit organisation as they’re calling themselves.

She states that as an American born organisation it should be monitored under the IRS (IRS Tax Empt Tool online) like other non profits like Heal Palestine.

She records herself doing the search and OOB isn’t there. I just did the search myself and got nothing.

She also commented on one of OOB’s TikTok’s about their lack of nonprofit status and they basically called her a liar.

I’m not the most knowledgeable about all that but I wanted to share.

She also did say that the list for the families is legit.

Tumble certainly lives up to his name!

The boys are play wrestling a lot today, and Sundew is respecting any "mrah!" noises Tumbleweed makes when he gets too rough. Very proud.

I'm hoping to have Tumbleweed up here long enough today to get tired and sleep, to see how Sundew reacts to that.

Have to admit, Tumbleweed's expression after nearly bonking into the camera is making me laugh even after watching it like 50 times.

he’s so graceful

Truly elegant

Actually, I'll be the Bitter Black Betty and say it out loud: this isn't just Israel's cruelty. There were still people with an enslaved Black woman that saw her life as worth so little that when it came down to it, they were willing to take an active role in her death- not just passively abandoning her to the bombs, but locking her in the house. Hawa's death is not on the Zionist entity alone. Antiblackness in the midst of something so horrible should let you know just how bad it gets.

I was too nervous to say anything, but this has given me some confidence.

In the original french tweet it's mentioned "elle travaillait comme une esclave", there are a few ways to interpret this but none of them are good and i dont think the english quote tweet emphasises this.

You could either interpret this as "she worked LIKE a slave" or she worked AS a slave", Based on the og tweet, it seems that her "employers" may not be the best descriptor of whoever she was working for. These people were cruel enough to leave her to die alone and I dont know why the english tweet chose the word employer im sorry

Quick correction, it states "elle travaillait comme esclave", no "une". There is only one interpretation of that statement. She worked as a slave, not like one. This is the reality of the Kaffala system.

If you are concerned for the rights and well-being of domestic workers in Lebanon, please support This Is Lebanon, an organization run by former domestic workers in Lebanon as well as Lebanese nationals, dedicated to naming and shaming this kind of horrendous mistreatment, and - frequently - anti-black violence.

Hey y'all, Mona posted an update for her mutual aid project on GoFundMe! Right now the priorities are winter clothing and food, please give whatever you can to this initiative!

Individuals fundraisers are still important but mutual aid funds such as these can help reach those who, for a variety of reasons, cannot get that help over the internet.

They're on Twitter saying romanticizing and sexualizing sexual violence is all that Gothic horror is about and maybe Ellen wanted to be groomed and that it's actually feminist to say women want to be raped. I fear there is no hope for women.

the assault is the horror, the rape and the ease with which men move and use her body is the horror, the tragedy of being unable to escape her trauma is the horror, giving her body over "consensually" to the monster whose haunted her her entire life is the tragedy and the horror. I think, what if we sat with things not being sexy but with things being horrifying while laced with sensuality. What if.
