inspired by the wonderful @tamarrud, i decided it would be much more effective to create one post every day that compiles the vetted fundraisers i receive from gazans, who desperately need donations/need their campaigns to be shared.

may 22nd:

Support Mohammed Ayesh (@mohammedayesh) - A university student who desperately needs to evacuate to Egypt.

Help evacuate Hani's family (@skatehani) - A Palestinian skater trying to evacuate 10 members of his family.

Help evacuate Fadi's family (@fadisharif11) - A father trying to save his wife, 9-month-old child, parents, three brothers, and three sisters.

Marah needs to save her family (@marahsalem) - Marah is trying to get reunited with her family, which consists of 5 members who need to urgently evacuate.

this compiled list is not just for convenience - it is supposed to encourage you to donate and share. do not scroll. please pick at least one fundraiser to donate to today, even if you can only donate a really small amount. if you absolutely cannot donate, share these campaigns. you can easily save a life

Jenny Nicholson and Racism

So Jenny Nicholson’s new Vampire Diaries video is making the rounds, and I saw some users in her tag saying that people only want to cancel her because she ships Reylo. I was gonna just mention to some friends what I remember happening with Jenny last year (EDIT: in 2020, to be clear), but I couldn’t find posts that focused on her. All I found were mentions of her as part of a bigger pattern, which is absolutely fair (racism isn’t just one person!), but I wanted something a bit more specific. 

I want to start this out by saying I used to really like her! Jenny is smart and charming, and her analyses are often pretty spot-on imo. As someone that majored in Film Studies, I liked her because her work seemed like stuff that would come from my courses. No clue on what her education or background is, but Jenny Nicholson clearly at least understands storytelling structure and how movies are made. Plus, she’s able to be brutal and funny at the same time, which isn’t exactly common, I feel like. That’s another reason why I’m posting this: I’m still disappointed that things went down this way!

Disclaimers: 

-this isn’t about cancelling Jenny or calling her A Racist or anything like that: it’s about documenting behavior that hurt people of color (particularly Black people).

-this post is not about whether Reylo as a ship is good or bad or whether Reylo shippers are good or bad for shipping it. 

-this post is long. I know it’ll look like a big anti-Jenny vendetta or something, but to be clear, the majority of this post is context + evidence of said context, just to show how much racism was going around. but people love receipts, or else i would have just put up a tl;dr.

-not all Reylos are white, and not all Reylos participated in harassing John Boyega.

-some of the pushback Reylos get is definitely rooted in misogyny. this post covers the pushback that is specifically about racist behavior.

-absolutely, under no circumstances, should anyone that reads this go after any of the users mentioned here. I don’t expect this post to get much attention because all this happened over a year ago, but this is for purposes of documenting and explaining. I’ve redacted the usernames of anyone that isn’t verified on Twitter. Do. Not. Go. After. Anyone.

the tl;dr: Jenny Nicholson repeated known lies about John Boyega harassing people and blocked people of color that tried to correct her. She doubled down by signal boosting a fandom study that considered PoC discussing racism the same as sexist, white supremacist segments of fandom. When that was pointed out, she continued blocking people of color.

iit means you need to boil him in oil

This astounds me because imagine her leveling with sponfebob like this. Recognizing that he understand what she’s saying. He is an adult sponge and she knows this. He acts like a little gay bitch and he is one but she’s like cut the crap Robert don’t you go sticking that long ass nose into kitchens it doesn’t belong because you can’t handle the heat you can’t handle what I’m cooking. The implications. He can’t handle it, because he’s a pansy, and that she knows he’s a pussy and that he knows he’s a pussy. He’s too soft for her world. Puff has been in state penn. she has been in and out of the system and she THRIVED in it. Her husband is DEAD. He’s a LAMP. She has committed grand larceny and vehicular manslaughter as well as evasion of police and resisting arrest. She’s probably assaulted an officer. Don’t fuck with her. You can’t handle the answer sponfebob so don’t even ask. Go home to your little fruit, get into your three mattress bed and turn off the lights. You are CANONICALLY homosexual.
