so many queer ppl will be like "deviating from social norms is part of who we are" and then gleefully participate in fatphobia/diet culture and nearly make being skinny an entire ideology and identity

occasionally I am struck dumb by the sublime beauty of the world in the small moments, you know?

Who Is PCRF?

Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), founded in 1991 by concerned humanitarians in the USA, provides free medical care to thousands of injured and ill children yearly who lack local access to care within the local health care system. Over the years, we've sent over 2,000 affected children abroad for free medical care, sent thousands of international doctors and nurses to provide tens of thousands of children free medical care in local hospitals, and provided tens of thousands of children humanitarian aid and support they otherwise would not get.

PCRF's impact also includes establishing two pediatric cancer departments in Palestine, a new PICU and pediatric cardiology department in Ramallah, and many more critical projects to sustainably bolster the region's healthcare system. Our foundation relies on grassroots efforts, supported by a worldwide network of thousands of volunteers, to fulfill our humanitarian mission. We are a volunteer-based nonprofit, so please join our efforts.

They are currently supplying urgent "medical relief and humanitarian aid" in Gaza.

i’ve been mulling over this because i feel conflicted and sad. i believe my main contention is, if your politics only extends to your self-interest, what do you owe to your audience when you have such significant influence? Dan is always on about politics and makes the occasional commentary on twitter, when it matters to him personally. and that’s fine, but i’d rather you keep it to yourself if you’re not going to show up when it really counts. because really, you know what impact it does and can have, and that’s why you decided to make public statements previously.

i don’t think anyone expects dnp to do anything extravagant. the request is simple - be more mindful and sensitive with the content you put out and do whatever you can within your means to show up, even if it has no personal connection to you because it’s basic human decency.

because if you expect people, your audience to show up when your rights are at stake, then you must extend the same respect and support when your audience calls for it. i don’t think that’s unrealistic or unreasonable.

Ok I’m sorry y’all but no one is asking dnp to solve the war or turn over all their energy to posting about Palestine. It is the bare minimum to acknowledge the strike and not post a video with a sponsorship from a literal pro-Israel company that is funneling money to the military. Even if that was a video planned far in advance that they were contractually obligated to post, even if they are contractually not allowed to say anything negative about Amazon/audible, they could have made a single post with resources for how to support the strike. They could have mentioned donating some proceeds from the video to Palestine. They could have retweeted someone else’s post. They could have shared the same damn Barbie insta story that Cornelia did. They have tremendous power in their platform and they can put it to use and the fact that they didn’t and haven’t is disappointing. Again, people are asking for a bare minimum of action here. The silence is loud.
