I will stand by this statement until I die: every Donnie is a little thief.

2003 Donnie steals tech regularly off of Bishop

2012 Donnie has openly said he steals from military garbage dumps and will snatch any kraang tech he can get his hands on.

Rise Donnie stole the turtle tank and probably numerous other electronics just because he wanted too.

And sure, we haven't seen much with MM! Donnie yet. But he's already helped steal a car, I'm sure he's fine with a bit of thievery himself

I've seen way to many people think that stealing is limited to only certain Donatellos. Nope. All of them have sticky fingers. Stealing tech is not immoral to any Donnie. If they find something and they want it then it's finders keepers for them.

seriously though nothing can stop me from interpreting Real Life as canon just for how it progresses the canary curse situation. i'm obsessed with it. the curse gets broken in secret life and then in the very next "series", as much of a joke as it is, you get a situation like THAT. jimmy enters a mineshaft and everyone but him dies. not just his team, though obviously it's more significant because they were all red, but ren/martyn/skizz all get a mineshaft-death apiece. that canary's not doing his job anymore. he escaped his cage and made a break for the surface and everyone else is paying the price for it, and i for one could not be more proud of that little bird.

At a lot of Palestine protests in Europe at least, possibly America as well, Anti-zionist Jews have been heavily targeted. Possibly even disproportionately targeted. This is because their very existence shows the lie that Israel speaks for all Jewish people. Police and other institutions especially in Germany have been targeting these Jews to try and silence their opposition for Israel.

In the UK the labour party has thrown out a number of it's Jewish members for not supporting Israel. Jewish people who are out spoken against Israel have been arrested, including an Israeli woman and a rabbi.

In Germany over 30% of Jewish people have been arrested for Anti-Semitism charges because they were at or organising Palestine events. The German Jewish Voice for Peace has their bank account frozen. At least one holocaust survivor was blocked from an event held in her honour because she is outspoken again Israel.

While Israel and its allies main targets are Palestinians they will attack any Jewish person who does not support their narrative. We must be sure to protect and listen to our Anti-zionist Jewish allies who are instrumental in ensuring that Israel's support continues to dissolve

I will give Zionists half a point, hear me out.

The Free Palestine and other anticolonial efforts are not antisemitic. They have nothing to do with Judaism, they are about oppression that in the case of Palestine is done by people who chose to use the veil of Judaic belief to make you think being opposed to their genocidal actions is antisemitism.

HOWEVER, with the Free Palestine effort especially, it is ripe group for actual antisemites, white supremacists, and Nazis to try to convince you it is related to Judaism, exactly like Zionists do.

These people will try to worm in, convince you is a “Jewish Issue” and the “problem is Judaism.” THAT IS A BOLD FACED LIE. This never has and never will have anything to do with any religion, especially not Judaism.

Look out for common signs:

describing the perpetrators as “they” or “them”. The lack of an actual described may seem like laziness but it’s meant to make you think of a single religious block. If they don’t use descriptors to clearly identify who “they” are first, it’s extremely likely based in Antisemitism, or if they focus on “they” as a religious item it is also extremely likely to be antisemitism

Words surrounded by double parentheses. Example “((bankers))”. The double parentheses is a classic example of how antisemites use simple characters to denote “Jewish” and try to make sure you associate it with “bad.” Again, this has nothing to do with religion. This is anti-genocide and anti-oppression.

Names or focuses on 88, HH, or other double letter/digit shorthand that basically stands for Nazi praises (88 refers to the 8th letter of the alphabet, H, and done twice like that it generally means “Heil Hitler”)

There are plenty of other signs I encourage others to share to raise awareness.

Remember, this doesn’t and NEVER HAS had shit to do with religion, especially not Judaism, and attempt to associate them are Zionists attempting to make you downplay the atrocities or they are Nazis who want you to associate the crimes with Judaism.

And yes, they do have the same result, which is why Zionism is often compared to Nazi-ism, because they both try to make this a Jewish issue.

Another aspect of the Gaza Genocide that I want to talk about is the complicity of Internet banking and crowdfunding websites like GoFundMe.

I have seen multiple Gazans raise enough money to leave for Egypt, but the banks and the crowdfunding websites freeze their money or cancel their funds for "suspicious activity" or whatever. Every day that passes in Gaza supplies get more scarce, conditions get more deadly, and the price to cross into Egypt gets more expensive. I've seen people, like ghost-90 here on Tumblr, raise the full amount to get their entire family out of Gaza, but their money gets frozen for so long that the original goal is only a fraction of the price now needed to cross the boarder.

These financial institutions should not be allowed to get away with contributing to the death toll in Gaza. They are intentionally keeping people trapped in a kill zone by withholding money that is rightfully theirs.

I'm so pissed and angry that every avenue for relief for Palestinians is being cut of left and right. It is vile that Gazans are being extorted for 10s of thousands of dollars by the Egyptian gov just to save their family's lives, but even when they play by this corrupt game, the world still finds a way to make them suffer.

My heart is with every Palestinian for the rest of time, from river to sea you will all be free. 🇵🇸❤️

CHAPTER 1 COVER - Next >>

It's here! The beginning of the fancomic that I've been making for a few months now. I started planning this thing almost a year ago, and I am so excited to finally be sharing it. I'll make a proper dedicated side-blog for it later. Next couple pages drop in a week :)

Edit: Updated Navigation tools. Also, there is a side-blog now @heretherebeturtles-comic

as someone who has been scarred for life by experiences at gay bars, i need people to understand it's beyond tacky to mock people who want queer spaces beyond queer bars- it's dangerous.

let me explain. i went to 2 of my local queer bars a lot last year, as much as i was able to despite being poor. i witnessed a fist fight that was so bloody that ended up with a transmisogynistic drag queen getting hit in the head with a metal baton. the sight caused me to uncontrollably throw up in the bathroom of the club because of how gruesome it was. they had to close down the club and forard people out the back door because of how out of hand this person got- he was screaming transmisogynstic slurs and phrases at the bouncers were were transfem.

i was also sexually assaulted at these places, i was repeatedly groped by several people who i was not interacting with in the first place who found me attractive and decided physically grabbing me on numerous occasions was the way to get my attention. being femme in a queer bar is dangerous even if the people groping you are gay men.

i am also a recovering addict who dealt with alcohol issues in the past and could be considered a recovering alcoholic. i don't want to be around alcohol. i don't want to smell it. it triggers awful memories and also sometimes makes me consider getting a drink, but i can't have one, because the medications i take will cause a fatal reaction- i don't want to be tempted to drink, because it will kill me.

it's not right to mock someone or call them childish or whatever for not wanting to go to a club. whenever alcohol is involved, people's inhibitions are gone and they will do whatever. this includes fighting. i witnessed several other fights. just because it's a queer bar doesn't mean there won't be fights. and it especialyl doesn't m ean that you won't get groped or assaulted because, like i said, since alcohol is involved and it's a bar, there's a high chance this can and will happen.

queer people are not inherently safe angels to be around by virtue of being queer. there are still transphobes in queer bars. tranny chasers come to these bars. homophobic lesbians show up and lesbophobic gay men show up. drag queens and performers bring their cishet friends and family to support their shows. these are not perfect havens. they are not safe. we should not force other queers to interact with inherently dangerous spaces if these are supposed to be our safe spaces.

also these spaces are not friendly to people with disabilities; wheelchair users have nowhere to go especially when it's very crowded. other mobility aids get kicked and knocked over. neurodivergent people can get overstimulated by the deafening music very quickly. photosensitive people can have seizures due to the strobing lights. people with emetophobia like me run the risk of running into those types of triggers. people who are overstimulated by intoxicated people have no choice but to deal with it. dancing is one of the only activities to do other than drink and not many disabled (or even abled) people can dance for extended periods of time comfortably.

not to mention these spaces are not geared toward aromantic or asexual people at all, either. there is a long list of reasons why bars should not be our primary venues of interaction with one another. they serve a specific purpose- for people who want to cruise- but for the rest of us, it's really crucial that we have spaces that provide meaningful interactions with other queers on other levels of our identities.

some people just want to hang out with other queers in a quiet environment and craft, or shop, or drink coffee, or read books together, or just about any other activity on planet earth, and that's not "lame" or "cringy" or bad in any way- these are extremely normal and necessary parts of human interaction that we all require and crave and it's normal to want to do healthy, domestic things with other queers. we need this in our lives.

please take it seriously when people attempt to create queer spaces that don't involve alcohol and bars. it's necessary for our survival and well being as a community.

Some Things You Aught to Know (this also the index)

“At the end of it all, what’s left of you?”

The long reaching ramifications of an alien invasion… it all starts here. After the Kraang were defeated, the boys have taken a back step from their usual activities to heal. Which has been surprisingly easy due to sudden lack of activity from their rogue gallery. At least, until Donnie disappears.

Hi! Welcome to the side blog that hosts my comic, Residuum. This little brain baby of mine was conceived in a dream my subconscious cooked up one night and then refused to leave me in the morning! Yes, yes, very interesting, but why is that relevant? Well, my darling reader, dreams can get really, really fucked up. As suuuch, this comic gets kinda, okay a lot, fucked up (￣▽￣|||)

So, this handy dandy pinned post is both the content/trigger warnings and where to find parts. The warnings do contain some spoilers for future installments, so I’ve put them under the read more. I do stress again that this comic is fucked, but to those who don’t read the warnings:

Probably don’t read this if you’re squeamish. It will contain a lot of, uh. Gore. Seriously. I’m not kidding around here.

This comic will not contain anything sexual, consensual or not. Nothing implied, either. (I can’t believe I have to say this, but no incest, and yes, I am kink-shaming you.)

Directory | F.A.Q.

Parts

Parts that have gore or the more extreme tw’s will be red. Parts with mild-ish tw’s will be yellow. Censored versions of extreme gore will be blue.
