if you've been hearing less about gaza lately, it's because most of the journalists are dead. hassan eslayeh, who was murdered yesterday in his hospital bed by israel, had 351 videos archived on tiktokgenocide.com (an online archive of israeli atrocities i recommend you browse). this single journalist alone had contributed 351 videos. the same database lists that 252 journalists have been killed in gaza since october 7th. the cpj's archive of journalists killed is 178. they have a more conservative and less accurate estimate since they have less information on those media workers who work with local outlets.

regardless of the exact number, the number of journalists killed is so high that it is markedly affecting the footage and documentation we have coming out of gaza now. let me prove it to you: 70 people were killed today, May 14th 2025. did you know that?

two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around

I am Mohammed, I live in the northern besieged Gaza Strip, I am 21 years old, I have always tried to create a beautiful future for myself in which I achieve all my wishes. I had ambitions and dreams, but they evaporated because of the war, but I still want to achieve them despite the siege. During the war, I lost many things, including my university, my dreams, my job, and some friends. Despite that, I still want to achieve my dreams and ambitions. I want to rebuild my life again, so please help me in that and rebuild my life. Therefore,

please donate as much as you can because that helps me a lot. If you cannot donate, tell people about my suffering.

Introducing The Cast of BIG BEAR

GREG - JOEY RICHTER

Also a STARKID superstar, Joey and I know each other mostly from seeing movies together—it’s a dream. So for the film bro, it’s gotta be Joey. Also, Joey and Lauren are a real couple, so to have them play a fake couple is just gonna rock.

MYKEL - CHRIS RENFRO

Hot off a run as Mary’s Teacher in “Oh, Mary!” on BROADWAYYYY, Chris is back in LA and is playing the most complicated, lovable, detestable, and sympathetic character in the whole show. They are such an incredible theatre performer, and I’m so excited to see them explode this entire show to bits.

LOU - PATRICK MCDONALD

I weighed casting myself in this show deeply. Hell, I still might replace myself. But I’m excited for the challenge, and the character is very personal to me for a lot of reasons. Here’s hoping it doesn’t kill me <3

STU - JON MATTESON

Jon (STARKID) is the reason is this play is happening. I coincidentally ended up on a flight with him back from Nashville on New Year’s Day, and I was telling him about this play I wrote 4 years ago I was thinking about doing. He told me to go for it. And at a very special table read when I first unearthed this to see if it was legible, Jon read Stu and it was literally kismet. He’s (unfortunately) born to play this role. It’s gonna be transcendent.

HELENE - EMILY SKEGGS

You know her as a Tony nominee from “Fun Home” and a cult celebrity from “Dinner In America”—I know her as a friend from college and incredible gardener who has always just been the coolest possible person. Working with her is a balm for the soul, and she’s gonna be bringing such heart and pain to this role—it’s gonna be unreal.

MICHAELA - KIMIA BEHPOORNIA

You’ve seen Kimia in Dropout and “Abby’s” and “Atypical” and a million commercials, but she’s one of the most singular people you’ve ever met. As Michaela, she’s the outsider that the rest of the group dares to dislike—so we needed someone you can’t help but love. She’s also the funniest and deeply in love with theater like all of us.

ANNABELLE - ANGELA GIARRATANA

From Dropout to SMOSH to Starkid, Angela is one of the most beloved people in all of the internet—so I figured it was time for her to play the worst friend all of us have. Our shared love of theater is one of the binding ties of our friendship (we created MAMMA MIA! BUT DIFFERENT just to make something), and there’s no way I’m doing a show without her. You’re not ready for this transformation.

DEENA - VIC MICHAELIS

From VIP on Dropout and a Hallmark movie and a soon-to-be Apple TV mega-hit, you already love Vic. They are such a joy to work with, because if they wanna do it, they make it happen no matter what. When I asked Vic to do this show, they agreed—sight unseen. And as the only common sense person in this whole ensemble, they’re going to make you laugh more than anyone—and that’s a tall order.

Tumblr continues to be a deeply racist and overwhelmingly white website. Making fun of a Palestinian woman seeking help amid a genocide because your English speaking head is too far up your own ass to consider that other languages have words similar to yours but with entirely different meanings.

The name رحاب "Rehab" (The "H" is pronounced "Ḥ", not like the English "H" in the word rehabilitation. Here's what it sounds like.) is a very common feminine name in Arabic.

The least we can do for Rehab for having to put up with this nonsense is share her fundraiser and donate if possible. Rehab is dying from hunger.

Her campaign is vetter by @gazavetters and her number is #410 on the spreadsheet.

Urgent Appeal 🥊

Hello my friend 👋

My name is Mohammed, I live in Gaza City and I am 19 years old. I have lived through the full horrors of war — hunger, displacement, fear, relentless bombings, destruction, and so many other painful experiences 🥹😭.I never created a donation link before, and I haven’t received any kind of help throughout this devastating war 🥲💔.

I was so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and I dreamed of starting a small shop to earn a living. But sadly, the war returned — even more violent and destructive than before 😭.Our area has now been declared a dangerous combat zone, and we lost our home — the only shelter we had 💔.

Worst of all, my father was seriously injured: he tragically lost one of his hands and an eye, and he is now completely unable to work or support our family 🥲😭.

Prices have skyrocketed, and we have no source of income. I’m launching this donation campaign now with a broken heart but a little hope 🥲.

Please, for the sake of humanity and for the sake of my family, consider making a donation to help us survive 🙏💔.

I just created the donation link, hoping that someone out there might lend a helping hand.

Please don’t let me down 🙏❤️‍🩹

i don't know how to phrase this but it feels so horrible seeing palestinians having to request strangers here for donations. they are having to put photos of their kids in hopes that it tugs the heartstrings of someone who sees it and then donates to them.

we've seen nearly 20 months of genocide and we've lost so many thousand people from gaza. i genuinely do not understand anyone who doesn't feel genuine heartache and grief for palestine.

gaza was so full of life and light. it physically hurts to see the aftermath of the destruction led by the occupation. homes and schools and hospitals and parks are all rubble now.

despite all this death and destruction, palestinians are trying to survive and maintain hope for the future.

i request you to donate to alaa amsse, a mother of two young children. she is fundraising to feed her family and take care of basic necessities. there is a famine and she needs firewood to keep her family warm. her fundraiser has been verified.

please help her and her family by donating

Any other crossover fans out there notice Jon Matteson and Angela Giarratana playing parts in Vic's voicemail musical? 👀👀👀

A Gazan’s gaze at a loaf of bread is like no other…

It’s not just a glance at food — it’s a glimpse of life pulled from the jaws of hunger, of dignity reclaimed from the ruins, of a long‑delayed hope that feels like a mother’s embrace calming a frightened child.

The world may see a loaf of bread as a commodity, aid, or a number in a report.

But here in #Gaza, a father sees a small victory over death, a mother sees the warmth of a table that has lost almost everything, and a family sees a fragile roof over a house with no walls.

Each loaf a child eats here is praised a hundred times over, because reaching it feels like surviving certain death, like pulling a life from under the rubble, like beating the flames of bombing and starvation for one more night.

This is the reality for my family, trying to survive one day at a time, one loaf at a time, one dream at a time, amid a siege, destruction, and a long, merciless war.

I have nothing to offer but this plea from the heart — for those who still value humanity, for those who can help.

Every donation, no matter how small, every word of support, every reblog can be a chance for life... a reminder that we are not abandoned.

Help us stand strong.

Help us survive.

Help us not be left alone under the rubble.

Vetted!!!

If a regional war breaks out between Iran and Israel, Gaza will be forgotten. We will continue to suffer this suffering and will not be mentioned in anything. We will be forgotten forever.
