Places to donate to help Palestine
PCRF.net - They did over a 100 medical missions in 2022 (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund)
Middle East Children's Alliance - A Non-profit organization fighting for the well-being and rights of Middle Eastern Children. They also have a link to a 'tool kit' to help spread information about the Gaza Genocide. I'm linking to it directly HERE
Anera: Where Hope Finds a Way - They provide everything from food, medicine and hygiene kits. $30 equals 16 blood bags - an essential thing for helping doctors help people survive horrible physical trauma.
UNICEF.org - Link to where you can donate to help UNICEF get aid to those suffering in Palestine.
And because I know damn well that lots of people don't have the extra funds to donate money - you can help by simply clicking here once a day. It donates ad revenue. Click to help Palestine
[I wanted so much to find other places people could donate that weren't in the US or Canada, but I was having problems figuring out how to ensure that they were reputable. If anyone knows of any, please reblog and add the links!]
And some basic informational sources for those who want to understand what's really going on other than the misleading information from the media.
BDS - The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians. Offers actual news about what's happening.
Decolonize Palestine - In depth information about the history and origins of Palestine. Also has a great 'debunked myths' section that lists almost all of all the lies the Media has been peddling.
Mondoweiss - An independent website devoted to informing readers about developments in Israel/Palestine and related US foreign policy. (Be aware: Some articles show disturbing images of the horrors happening in Gaza.)
Petitions I found with reputable track records (there are a LOT of fakes out there)
Canada:
Independant Jewish Voices Canada - Gaza on the Brink Ceasefire Now! - Prewritten letter to Justin Trudeau and Mélanie Joly calling for an immediate ceasefire, and for an end to the collective punishment of Palestinians. Just sign your name and it sends a letter!
There are several other ways (Including email addresses to various people/companies, as well as physical addresses you can mail letters to) listed here.
DON'T send threats/hate mail. That does nothing but make them double down on their current stances. Be polite. You don't have to take a happy tone, but be polite.
United States:
USA - Tell Congress: Stop Fueling the Gaza Genocide - Demanding an immediate ceasefire and for Humanitarian Aid to be allowed into Gaza.
Jewish Voice for Peace - You can use their form for send a letter to Congress to demand that they should focus on de-escalation instead of sending money and weapons to Israel so they can continue their genocidal war against Palestinians.
Jewish Voice for Peace (part 2) - Fill out this form and inform President Biden that he should call for a ceasefire and stop supplying money and weapons to Israel.

Internet Archive Live Hearing happens tomorrow: March 20, 2023
Here's a link to the Internet Archive's page, describing how you can participate and listen to oral arguments on Monday March 20th at 1pm ET
You may know the Internet Archive because of the Wayback Machine!!
The court case Hachette v Internet Archive is being brought to court and threatens to tear down the Internet Archive as we know it.
"The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library, preserving and providing access to cultural artifacts of all kinds in electronic form. CDL allows people to check out digital copies of books for two weeks or less, and only permits patrons to check out as many copies as the Archive and its partner libraries physically own. That means that if the Archive and its partner libraries have only one copy of a book, then only one patron can borrow it at a time, just like any other library. Through CDL, the Internet Archive is helping to foster research and learning by helping its patrons access books and by keeping books in circulation when their publishers have lost interest in them."
This is so important because not only does the Internet Archive provide books that are long out of circulation and copies for people to borrow, they are also used as sources for things like Wikipedia articles! Imagine if suddenly, no one could access sources that someone cites for their information! Having access to information digitally today is a very important thing, and with all of the paywalls people face nowadays for news, imagine if you suddenly had to pay for access to any books. Websites like Amazon already are attempting to replace any sort of ebook rentals with paid services, when we have the right to borrow books online just as we do physically. The Internet Archive is extremely important and one of our rights- access to information- is actively being fought against.
REMEMBER: This will not JUST affect the internet archive. This could change how libraries in general work, and could threaten public access to information. Imagine how many youtube video essay sources would be null and void, imagine just trying to research an obscure topic at 3am-- If all of that was behind a paywall, only those with money would be able to access them! The harder it is for libraries to share books and archive information, the more the public suffers!
Please show your support! Read more about the case here: https://www.eff.org/cases/hachette-v-internet-archive
https://www.battleforlibraries.com/
I'm not sure how quick Tumblr will work on approving this blazed post but if the day/time has passed, please know that you can actively look into more information on this case and other info on the Internet Archive Blogs. You can also add your name to a list of supporters of Battle for Libraries Here.
Let's work together on making sure we have access to information! In this digital age, we deserve to access just as much online as we do offline!

TL;DR Support A Physically Disabled Person Today
Website to Donate + apply for a mobility aid (if you're over 18 and in the US) (https://disabled-identities-and-support.square.site/)
Explanation Below:
Some of you may know, but this account is run by a non-profit called Disabled Identities and Support. This non-profit has a total of one volunteer, and that is me (I am also the founder of this non-profit.) I fundraise, I apply for grants, I take on advertising, I answer emails, I run the website, I make the purchases, I do it all.
Why? Because low-income physically disabled people deserve personalized mobility aids. I don't think this, I know this.
Here's the issue I am currently facing: my non-profit is low on funds.
I was the one that had to deliver the bad news to some of the people that had applied, and one particular person responded asking if my non-profit could afford to purchase their mobility aid if they downgraded to one that cost just $15.
This broke my heart. I can only imagine how distressed these people are having just found my non-profit only to have to be put on a waitlist while I fundraise.
So this is me begging: please, if you have even $5, please donate.
On our waitlist are queer disabled people, disabled people of color, people who are both physically and mentally disabled/neurodivergent (particularly physically disabled systems), disabled parents, disabled muslims, disabled Jewish people, disabled people who have faced homelessness, and people who fit more than one of the groups above.
If you can, please visit our website and donate: https://disabled-identities-and-support.square.site/
I will make a post thanking you, I will write a fanfiction of your choice, hell, I'll try and draw art if you'd like. Just please, help me help physically disabled people.

Yesterday CARE International were at my local shop. My mom was able to sign up to monthly support and if you can I greatly recommend it.
CARE works around the world to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. We put women and girls at the centre of our work, because we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. (From their website)
They focus on Crisis response, Gender equality, Climate justice, Right to health, Right to food, water and nutrition & Women's economic justice.
So far they have helped 174 million people directly, been part of 1631 projects, in 111 countries! And they could use some help to reach people in poverty in Gaza, Ukraine and many, many more.
Here are some of their resources:
An article by a CARE humanitarian worker on the Gaza genocide - there are many articles to look through here
What they do: CARE works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice
DONATE HERE: Gaza Humanitarian Crisis Appeal: CARE's incredibly dedicated team are responding to the urgent needs of innocent people in Gaza and the West Bank. We are prioritising safe water, medicine supplies and short-term shelter kits to people who have lost everything.
Alternatively here is their Get Involved section where you can donate to CARE, to a specific cause, or help in many other ways!
On their Website you can also sign up by email to learn how you can support them and those they help. I would really recommend checking out their whole website!
Shoutout to the CARE workers representing at my local shop, in particular the man who was not only brutally honest about what's happening in the world right now, but also incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Look out for their TV advert, spread the word about this non-profit, and please support or get involved if you can!

I’d say, I hope these recent issues with Twitter and Reddit have made people weary of trusting countless amounts of data, information, and images in the hands of private, for-profit sites, but I know it hasn’t.

Friends, Romans, mutuals!
My sister will be home for Christmas from her job at a children’s home in a third world country (I will not specify the organization in the interest of the children’s privacy). All the toys in the home are secondhand and hard plastic. That is to say, the toddlers are able to choose violence, which no one wants. There are no soft toys nor any personal belongings for the youngest children. Between now and my sister’s return, my goal is to handmake 25+ teddy bears to send back with her. I will not be able to send these fuzzy bois by mail because American goods are taxed too heavily. The clock do be ticking and also like this bear is such a little guy.
Tumblr media
My heart is as full of love as my bank account is full of cobwebs. Consider help my dumb broke ass buy yarn by contributing any amount to this fund.
However, certain contributions will come with the following rewards:
$5 USD — 10 HCs for a mythical/folklore ship of your choice, including self ship.
$10 USD — Single page minimum one-shot, again, ship of your choice OR editing service for a 1k word fiction.
+ $10 at least two pages of your silly little scenario you twiddle your thumbs to at night. I see you over there. Yearning. Alternately, I can help you with a 2k word piece of your own.
Again, I do not chose to reveal look-upable info on the children’s home, but any and all contributors will receive a picture of their sponsored 🧸 in their ask box as online (read: eternal) evidence of their legitimacy and good-personhood. The Theodore Bears (named for my youngest son) are an original pattern I wrote myself and will be handmaking. Please consider what it means to a child to have a unique gift, purely to call your own.
Even if you are not able to contribute, (we get it) it would mean so much to us were you to share or blaze my post for a quick signal boost.
Much love to you all,
Peggy

Your whole argument for why it was ok to make AI was that it was for fun, now you’re trying to make a profit off the work of a computer and the likeness of Tom Hiddleston and character Loki, neither of which belong to you.
You have no right to make monetary gain off that. It’s hard to defend you even though I used to be a fan, specially after you privately treated me so poorly when I always defended and stuck up for you. You’re a bit of a bully with a sour attitude yourself and that’s why you attract hate, slide down off your pedestal and deflate your ego a bit and you’ll find it easier to navigate about without being harassed princess.
Didn't know I was a bully....good to know.....
Number one, it is fun so there's that.....
Number two, I am making zero dollars in monetary gain.....none whatsoever. If your referencing my redbubble I set the percentage to next to nothing, literally so its legit only paying for the service that makes the pics. And most of the time not even that, so maybe ask before you assume?
And number 3, I don't know who you are or what may have been said between us but many of my mutuals and friends can contest to the fact that I am not disrespectful, or rude or mean in any way shape or form. I think I may know who you are and if I'm correct well, there were reasons I may have been snippy.
And to further my point on the likeness of tom and Loki.......digital artists and sketch artists use his likeness and loki and sell them AND make a profit.........soooooooo
Thank you for your time, go have a cupcake and have a good day 💚💚

-----------{ ☆°•○•°☆ }------------
Black Clover: In the name of science!
Tumblr media
Summary: Sally decides to get her hands on Asta, requesting some help with her experiments~
Heh heh heh, oh I'm so meeean~ 😈
Tw: Rough tiggles, restraints, over stimulation
Requested Tags: 😚 @duckymcdoorknob @nataliewritez
-----------{ ☆°•○•°☆ }------------
"Saaally? You here?" Asta called as he entered the lab that Sally had been granted by the clover kingdom when she agreed to work with them, developing magic tools.
The magicless wizard had been asked to visit and help Sally out with a few experiments. The lab was a large hall filled with piles of books and shelves stacked with various odd looking substances.
"Oh! Comiiiiing~ Hehe-!" Sally's voice cooed out from behind a messy looking display wall, diagrams, and drawings of human anatomy pinned to the surface.
Hearing her response, Asta smiled as he waited for her patiently. He jumped when he suddenly appeared behind him, grabbing his waist and applying pressure to the area, making him yelp and flinch away.
"Ah-hey!"
"We've got so much to get done! Let's see. Okay. Mhm. Yep, yep, yep. Nice and plump. You're perfect for this!" The scientist thought out loud as she circled Asta, lifting his arm and tracing the length of it, before doing the same to his legs, poking and feeling around his knees and chest. He didn't protest, no, he just let her do what she needed to do. It was part of their deal, after all. She helped them, so he helped her.
"Soho, w-what kind o-OHOf experiments ahare you pff- hah, up to today? Ehe!" He flinched and huffed as she poked and prodded him before stepping back to take notes in her handbook.
"Oh, you know. Important stuff." She waved off the question as she turned away, scribbling in her book again with a giggle. Asta raised a brow, taking a step forward to follow her, only to have his ankle suddenly snatched up by a familiar, viscous tendril.
"Huh-?"
He was tossed into the air before being grabbed by more tendrils, holding him down on the warm, slimy surface of Sally's magic Gel. Keeping him in an upright position, leaning backwards slightly for his comfort.
"WOOAH! H-Hey, hey, hey! What's-"
"Hmm... Oh! Of course, nearly forgot. You're not against being tickled, right?"
Astas eyes widened with excitement. No. He wasn't against it at all. Actually, he found it very enjoyable. He and the other black Bulls would often get into tickle fights, wrestling and tussling for victory. But why did Sally want to tickle him?
Doesn't matter. He thought as a smile grew across his face. A deal is a deal. How bad can some tickling be? He's helping after all.
"Go right ahead! I can take it!" He looked determined, a bright, toothy, grin plastered across his cheeks. Sally looked more than pleased to hear this.
"Wonderful!" She picked up a small sand timer with her slender fingers, holding it up to the light before flipping it over, letting the purple hazy sand inside start to fall.
"Then let's begin~"
Before Asta could brace himself, several tendrils snaked closer, poking and wriggling into his sides.
"Pff-! GyahaHA!" The reaction was instant. Asta was deathly ticklish. He wriggled and squirmed against the gooey restraints that held him still.
"Oho God! Ahahaa! EheeEHAHA!" Sally was wasting no time. Another attack began on the wizards knees, the goo forming into little hands, pinching that nerve filled spot just above the knee.
Asta kicked out suddenly with a snort, the goo quickly grabbing onto his ankles again, yanking him into place as they worked on the area.
"BWAHAHA! No! Nohoho!"
"Oooho? No? What do you mean?" Sally grinned, stepping closer to examine his mirthfull expression.
"Why do you say no? Didn't you say you could take it?"
"I-I cahan! I-It juhAhHAA! Ahaa!"
"It what, Asta?" Sally sang, tilting her head to see Astas flushed red cheeks, smiling at how his eyes were squeezed shut, leaving laughter creases across his scrunched nose. She reached a hand, softly pressing on his hip with her thumb.
"IT TIHICKLES! OHOMygodnoooOHO!" He yelled out through his giggling, shaking his head as his ears also came under attack, smaller, string like tendrils fluttering and flickering just inside and behind his little listeners.
Sally giggled at his reaction as she jotted down more in her book before tossing it aside.
"It tickles. Well, haha, duuuh~ That's the whole point, ya silly!" As she spoke, she started casually slipping Astas boots off, letting them drop to the floor with a thud.
"Wait- Wahait not there! Sally! AH! Sahahally!" The silver haired boy was caught completely by surprise as his soles were attacked, not by the Gel magic, but by two sets of smooth, rounded fingernails. His little feet kicking and wriggling to try escape.
"Gotta stimulate every part of your body, for accurate results~" Sally said, in a matter of fact tone. Asta just nodded in response, this was already so overwhelming for the little guy.
"Dahahamn ihit! NyAhAHAAA! OHO! Oho NO!" He was staying strong. That's his magic, after all! Never giving up!... For now.
"Gichi, gichi gooo~"
"UWAHA! D-Dohon't sAHA! Don't say that! NO!"
"Oh? And why not? Does it make your tummy flutter?" The tracing nails found their way up to Astas belly, dragging and skittering over the thin shirt he wore.
"Does it make everything tickle more? Gichi, gichi goooo~"
Holy shit. It did!
"Dahamn it! AHAA! H-How?! How are you doIIING THAHAT!?"
Sally just smiled, walking her fingers further up Astas belly, snaking around to his ribs and starting to massage her thumbs into the bone. Her dexterous fingers tickled SO much more than the sensation her Gel magic caused.
"NONONO! Nyaaaha!-... *gasp* AHA!" Astas body flailed helplessly as the tickling grew more and more intense. His ribs are toyed with by Sally's fingers and nails whilst his knees, sides, and tummy are under attack from the Gel. This was nothing like the fights he had had with the Black Bulls. Not even Yami was ever this intense!
"Oho! This is wonderful! I wonder how long you can withstand the sensation! You're already sweating, and your pupils are dilated! I can hear that you're running out of breath sometimes, too, hmm... We'll have to keep pushing! I need answers!" Sally had that crazed look about her. She was enjoying Astas suffering way too much.
Asta was determined though, he wasn't giving up!
"I can do thihis all d-!" A look of horror shot across his face as he felt her nails creep up to his underarms. His whole world was flipped upside-down.
"GYAHAHAAAA-!... *gasp* Aha! NOOOHO! No! Ahaha!" The feeling of Sally's nails scritching at his armpits sent him into a frenzy. Flailing and cackling with his whole chest.
"Oooh, you like this spot, huh? Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle~!" Sally sang, relishing Astas intense reactions to such a small gesture.
This was crazy! Astas eyes fogged up with tears of mirth as his body was bombarded with tickles. The Gel tendrils snaked up into his shirt and up the cuffs of his trouser legs, tickling his skin directly.
"SAHAHALLY! *hic* PleheEHASE! AAAHAAaahaA-!... *gasp* AHAa! Not therehereee...! *gasp* GYAAAHAAAHA!"
"Hmm, this won't do." Sally sighed, seeing that her sand timer had already ran out.
"Uuugh, I need more time! Oh!" She grinned, pausing her ticklish assault for a brief moment, simply flipping the timer again, giving Asta a precious moment of relief.
"Problem solved!"
"Sally... Haha... Please just, just gimme-"
"Now then~" She smirked up at him, immediately beginning to rake her nails up and down his soles again.
"NAHAHAAAAA-!"
----------
Several sand timer rotations later, Atsa was spent. His hair was a fuzzy mess, and his headband slipped, covering one of his eyes as he flailed and screamed with laughter.
"Oh wow! Your all sweaty! And- Oh look at that colour!" Sally grinned, cupping his cheeks, squishing them slightly as her torment finally came to an end.
"Woooowza, such a pretty pink! Do you feel dizzy? Sick? Or do you feel amazing! Are you gonna pee? Is anything numb? Do I need to cut open-"
"Nooo, no, no, that won't be necessary." Asta chuckled, gulping in a fresh breath of air before sighing, letting his head droop.
"I'm just tired now. And I feel tingly all over." He explained with a smile as Sally set him om the floor, he'd Gel magic shifting away and melting into nothing.
"Oooooh, tingly~ Good word! You're such a good test subject." She smiled, handing him a candy after he finished straightening out his clothes and putting his boots on.
"Happy to help!" He chimed.
"Anything that might help protect the people of Clover." He said proudly, head held high even after such an exhausting ordeal.
"So, what was all this working towards anyway?"
Sally paused, tilting her head and tapping her chin.
"You know.... I forgot~!"
---------------------☆ END ☆-----------------------
Thank you for readiiiiing! 🥰🩷 Hope you had fun! Love youuu!
