Do you live in Palestine currently or in another country? Do you know of any tumblr accounts reporting directly from Palestine?
i do not currently live in Palestine but i hope i will be able to return some day. i don’t personally know of any journalists reporting from Palestine on tumblr (feel free to rb and tag them if you know any) but my friend @90-ghost has lived in Gaza his entire life and is reporting his experience on his account (he’s currently living in a tent and does not have any internet). he has lived through 5 wars. please donate to his ko-fi if you can:
there are countless journalists reporting directly from Palestine on other social media platforms. i am tagging a few who are reporting on Instagram (and other social media) below - i encourage you to follow them for up to date and first hand information on Palestine:
Important thing I don’t see many people discussing. I’ve been seeing a lot of people lately say there are no hospitals left in Gaza. This is untrue and is psychological warfare.
STOP SPREADING THE IDEA THERE ARE NO HOSPITALS LEFT IN GAZA. DONT LOSE HOPE.
Greygold: Hey Shadowheart, do you know a way I can get Lae'zel to be more open to sharing? In general o-of course-
Shadowheart applying another layer of lipstick: Say no more Bu, I gotchu
But look. LOOOK. As a first playthrough, sometimes the insatiable need to explore and experience as much as possible happens. So let's just say that became Greygold's uhhhhh. Let's call it ~a character flaw~
Nobody is perfect, not even Greygold. Sometimes. Relationships can get bumpy! and confusing!
it's interesting how 'fact check' and 'vet your sources' seem to be the correct course of action only when it's about things we don't agree with isn't it

Tips for artists coming back to tumblr from twitter
Have a pinned post with your name and links, like you would on twitter. You can also add links to your bio with html.
Find a blog theme that is very image friendly.
Create an art tag so people can find your work!! Especially if you also reblog others’ stuff onto your main. If you don’t feel like getting creative, #my art is a popular one.
Popular art tags here are # artists on tumblr, # my art, # illustration, and # drawing, or just simply # art. You can add as many tags as you want to a post, although only the first 20 or so are prioritized in search.
Pinned tags are now a thing? so like if you have a bunch of tags on your blog but only want a select few to show up, you do that in blog settings.
You can also turn on tipping on your posts to allow people to donate to you if you connect a Stripe account. I don't know specifics.
Create an art-only sideblog for people to follow if they don’t want to see all your reblogs.
Submit your art to blogs like @art or @artistalley for a chance at getting featured or reaching a wider audience!
You can use spaces in tags. Please use spaces in tags. It makes navigation much easier.
@tips has a more in-depth explanation of various functions and how to use them so check that out if the UI here is overwhelming.
Go to @changes and @wip for updates/help/whatever on what staff are doing with the site. You can also make requests for new features I think? idk
