#if you do participate in the raffle remember that you will have to be patient

[buttercuparry]

Please I want to draw your attention to Hani's campaign. @skatehani has contacted me directly and has only one request for all of you. To help him evacuate his family to Egypt. Hani is currently in Belgium doing all he can, to collect the funds. This genocide has cost his family their home and he has also lost his father, making him the sole breadwinner of his family of 10 members. Please the goal is of 50,000 euroes and only 10,279 euroes have been collected so far. Time is crucial and we need more funds. I know all of us are trying our best but we need a little more. Just a little more.

Hani is holding a raffle too. This is the link to his post detailing how it works, on his own blog (please follow him and reblog and donate). I will explain how it works here too:

The raffle is for 5 Palestinian thobes, made in Palestine. They are beautiful and he is giving them away. The condition to participate is to donate 50 euroes and 5 people will be selected for the draw. A donation of 100 euroes would be considered as donating twice and that would be very much appreciated. The end goal is to reach 25 thousand to complete the draw. Gofundme and Paypal both works. All you have to do is donate and then send Hani a screenshot privately.

Remember, Hani is going through very very difficult time now. He will start the draw after he reaches his goal, so it is highly suggested that you follow his blog and be patient with him.

If you are wondering about the legitimacy of this fundraiser, then don't worry. Here is @/fallahifag's post. They have been hunger striking to reach the goal of 500 euroes for Hani. Their last post on this matter had been on May 7. ***very very important

And this is el-shab-hussein's reblog of the raffle Hani is conducting. So please please keep Hani in your thoughts and go follow him and reblog his posts. The link to both is GFM and Paypal is as follows:

How to Buy This Week’s Adidas Yeezys Restocks: A Step-by-Step Guide

 The anticipation for Adidas Yeezys restocks is always high, and scoring a pair can be as thrilling as it is challenging. Whether you're a seasoned sneakerhead or a Yeezy newcomer, this guide will give you the essential tips to navigate the buying process and improve your chances of getting your hands on this week's restock.

Step 1: Stay Informed Monitor release dates and times for upcoming restocks by regularly checking official Adidas accounts, Yeezy Supply, and reputable sneaker news websites. Set reminders so you don’t miss out.

Step 2: Create and Update Accounts Prior to the drop, ensure that you have active accounts set up with all potential retailers, including Adidas, Yeezy Supply, and other select boutiques that may carry the restock. Keep your shipping and payment information up to date to expedite the checkout process.

Step 3: Download the Adidas App The Adidas app often provides access to exclusive releases and restocks. Download the app, complete your profile, and enable notifications for instant updates on Yeezy releases.

Step 4: Participate in Raffles Take advantage of online raffles hosted by retailers. Enter as many as possible to increase your chances of winning the opportunity to buy a pair.

Step 5: Be Prepared on Drop Day On release day, wake up early and prepare multiple devices if possible. Use a stable internet connection to prevent any connectivity issues during the purchasing process.

Step 6: Join the Virtual Queue For websites with waiting rooms or queues like Adidas and Yeezy Supply, join promptly at the specified release time. Do not refresh excessively, as this may hurt your chances of getting through.

Step 7: Stay Determined and Patient Be prepared for potential website crashes or slow loading times due to high traffic. Persistence is key—stay determined, and keep trying even if initial attempts don’t succeed.

Step 8: Check for Unexpected Restocks After the official drop, occasionally refresh product pages or follow social media channels. Additional pairs may become available due to canceled orders or cart abandonments.

Remember, while securing a pair of Yeezys during a restock can be competitive, employing these strategies can give you an edge. Good luck, and may your swift clicks and sheer determination lead you to Yeezy success!

Perspectives on the Pandemic With Dr. Peter McCullough

Story at-a-glance Dr. Peter McCullough is an internist, cardiologist and epidemiologist who warns that COVID-19 vaccines not only are failing but are putting lives at risk McCullough believes if the proper safety boards had been in place, the COVID-19 vaccine program would have been shut down in February 2021 based on safety and risk of death By January 22, 2021, 186 deaths had been reported after COVID-19 vaccination — more than enough to reach the mortality signal of concern In his practice, McCullough is seeing an array of neurologic syndromes in people who’ve been vaccinated, with symptoms including blindness, paralysis, difficulty swallowing, headaches, ringing in the ears, myocarditis and more McCullough also mentions antigenic, or immune, escape, which he believes is driving the creation of COVID-19 variants and making the pandemic worse instead of better

Dr. Peter McCullough has an impressive list of credentials1 — he’s an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist and a full professor of medicine at Texas A&M College of Medicine in Dallas and is the editor of two medical journals and published hundreds of studies in the literature. He’s also among those brave and courageous persons speaking out about the dangers of COVID-19 jabs, and putting his medical license and future livelihood at risk by so doing.“There’s a hunting that’s going on here that’s very disturbing,” McCullough said in an episode of Perspectives on the Pandemic.2 He was referring to state medical boards hunting down doctors and their and threatening revocation of their licenses based on the spreading of unidentified “misinformation.”“This is absolutely astonishing that this is happening over a fair exchange of ideas,” he said. What is Dr. McCullough sharing that the powers that be don’t want you to hear? It’s about COVID-19 injections and, to sum it up in a sentence, “It’s not working and it’s causing tremendous damage.”COVID Jab Efficacy and Safety Overstated From the Start In the U.S., Operation Warp Speed is the federal effort that fast-tracked COVID-19 jab candidates to market. Gene transfer technology platforms emerged as the frontrunners, including adenoviral DNA platforms or messenger RNA (mRNA) platforms designed to deliver genetic material to the human body.Once the mRNA is injected, the body then takes up the genetic material and changes in some way. These technologies have been under study for years, in most cases being designed to replace a defective gene, which could potentially be used for cancer treatment, for example. Except historically, “all failed,” McCullough said. In November 2020, however, Pfizer, in a joint venture with Germany-based BioNTech, announced that their mRNA-based injection was “more than 90% effective” in a Phase 3 trial.3 This does not mean that 90% of people who get injected will be protected from COVID-19, though, as it’s based on relative risk reduction (RRR).The absolute risk reduction (ARR) for the jab is less than 1%. “Although the RRR considers only participants who could benefit from the jab, the absolute risk reduction (ARR), which is the difference between attack rates with and without a jab, considers the whole population. ARRs tend to be ignored because they give a much less impressive effect size than RRRs,” researchers wrote in The Lancet Microbe in April 2021.4Nonetheless, the jabs received emergency use authorization. By giving the emergency authorization, not approval, the jab administration constituted a research trial, with the sponsors being the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. According to McCullough:5“We’ve never had two government bodies together be a sponsor of a major research program. Shockingly, they did not have, and to this day they’ve never put together, an external critical event committee, an external data safety monitoring board or a human ethics committee. They had these committees in the registrational trials … and these are standard.Every large clinical investigation has these three committees … I chair many of these committees for pharmaceutical companies and the National Institutes of Health. Americans should have had at least weekly, if not monthly, reviews of safety to ensure Americans that the jabs are safe.” By March 2021, McCullough Was Worried Initially, McCullough said, it seemed like the experimental jabs might be safe, and about 70% of his patients had received one by December 2020. But by March 2021, he was uncomfortable with what he was seeing. From December 14, 2020, through March 8, 2021, more than 92 million doses of COVID-19 jabs were administered in the U.S.He cited data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database, which showed that during that time, there were 1,637 reports of death in people who had received a COVID-19 jab. The CDC and FDA said none of them was related to the jab but, according

to McCullough, by January 22, 2021, 186 deaths had been reported — more than enough to reach the mortality signal of concern to stop the program.“With a program this size, anything over 150 deaths would be an alarm signal,” he said. The U.S. “hit 186 deaths with only 27 million Americans jabbed.” McCullough believes if the proper safety boards had been in place, the COVID-19 jab program would have been shut down in February based on safety and risk of death.Such was the case in 1976, when a fast-tracked injection program against swine flu was halted after an estimated 25 to 32 deaths.6 Yet, despite a much larger death toll, COVID-19 jabs continues. As of August 6, 2021, VAERS COVID-19 data showed 12,791 deaths related to the jabs, according to McCullough, and tens of thousands of hospital and clinic visits.7In an analysis of COVID-19 vaccine death reports from VAERS, researchers found that 86% of the time, nothing else could have caused the death, and it appears the vaccine was the cause.8The researchers noted, “The sample contains only people jabbed early in the program, and hence is made up primarily of those who are elderly or with significant health conditions. Despite this, there were only 14% of the cases for which a COVID injection reaction could be ruled out as a contributing factor in their death.”9Further research shows, McCullough stated, and this is a very important point that I want you to understand and remember: that 50% of the deaths occurred within 48 hours of getting the shot, while 80% occurred within a week. An informal survey on Twitter, to which 10,000 people responded, also asked whether respondents knew someone who died after a COVID-19 jab.Twelve percent said they did. “When people see others in their circle dying, you can’t stop that type of organic COVID jab hesitancy,” McCullough said. Other confirmed adverse effects of the COVID jabs include myocarditis and blood clots.10An Incredible Violation of Human Ethics Your body recognizes the spike protein in COVID-19 jabs as foreign, so it begins to manufacture antibodies to protect you against COVID-19, or so the theory goes. But there’s a problem. The spike protein itself is dangerous and known to circulate in your body at least for weeks and more likely months11 — perhaps much longer — after the COVID jab.In your cells, the spike protein damages blood vessels and can lead to the development of blood clots.12,13 It can go into your brain, adrenal glands, ovaries, heart, skeletal muscles and nerves, causing inflammation, scarring and damage in organs over time.In his practice, McCullough is seeing an array of neurologic syndromes in people who’ve been injected, with symptoms including blindness, paralysis, difficulty swallowing, headaches, ringing in the ears, myocarditis and more. Other research suggests that the heart, brain, immunologic system and hematologic system may be most at risk from the jabs.14Children, who are at extremely low risk from COVID-19, receive no benefit from the jab, nor do those who have already had COVID and have immunity, McCullough said, calling the situation “a catastrophe in real time” that’s violating human ethics:15“We’ve seen an incredible violation of human ethics. No one, for an investigational product, under any circumstances, should receive any pressure, coercion or threat of reprisal for not participating in the research.”The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 jab received FDA approval on August 23, 2021, but prior to this, million-dollar raffles, free tuition, bonuses and other bribes like free beer and doughnuts were offered to entice people to get injected. When that didn’t work, mandates increased, including for many health care workers, and hundreds of U.S. colleges16 are also requiring students to get jabbed in order to attend.

~🌟 RAFFLE EVENT ;

Since I finally reached 200 followers and I thank everyone for it, I can announce the event I was planning, yeah-!

It’s a raffle so I think everybody knows what this thing is, I saw other persons in the fandom do this so I want to try, too. It seems so funny-! The prizes are three so also the winners will be three different persons. The winners will be extract on October  11th , 2017. I will contact them and I will write a new post where I announce everything.

To participate you need:

To follow my blog.

To reblog this post.

To read the rules below.

To be patient. 

PRIZES & RULES

─ FIRST PRIZE: A VERY PERSONALIZED FANFICTION (A ONESHOT):

The first winner will receive a one-shot written by me (Capitan Obvious). It will be a Character x Reader story, but you must specify some things since it’s very personalized.

The things the winner has to choose are:

• A character of the fandom you desire, it can be whoever appears in the list of the characters I do. Since I write also about poly-relationships, you have the possibility to choose this option, in this case you must specify 2 characters (of the same Fandom). Some Fandoms have AUs (like Undertale and Hetalia). Here, you can take two characters from different AUs but from the same fandom. It does not have to be only a love romance but any types of relationships (just like friendship, family etc.); • The name of the reader since I prefer to specify the person, you can choose your own name or another. It can be also a neutral name in case you don’t want to specify the sex of the reader. Otherwise, you can specify if you want a Female Reader or a Male Reader (or others). Telling me the pronouns I have to use; • You have to send a description of yourself, you can send me an ask or a message, because I have to know how to characterize the reader. It can be any characterisations you want, until they are not Mary Sues and those weird freaks; • A basic plot, if you have some ideas in mind, I mean what the characters do in this Fanfiction. You can decide also the kind of story if it’s a fantasy, a science-fiction, a horror, an angst or something else. It’s important!

These are the things you must tell me about the story, since it’s personalized so I can’t decide anything, I am only the person who writes it, yep. If you want, you can specify things I forgot to say in the list. The only thing I decide as writer is the style, and I use the third person narrative because I am more comfortable with it.

─SECOND PRIZE: A SPECIAL SCENARIO:

I don’t have to explain so much here, since this point follows the normal rules with some exceptions. I will write for the second winner a scenario with 10 Characters (I usually do only 4 characters). This time I will write 10 characters MAX 2 Fandom. It means that you can take different characters from two different fandoms (you can see on the list). For example: five characters from X and five characters from Y, or whatever you want. The more you describe the scenario the better is for me, so I don’t get confused, you can send me a message if the ask has not enough space.

─ THIRD PRIZE: A SPECIAL MATCHUP:

Here it’s more difficult to explain but I try. These are not normal matchups, they are different from the ones I usually do. Some people call this thing “Boyfriends / Girlfriends Scenarios”; it’s a sort of reader insert. There are so many situations where the reader interacts with a character from the first time they meet to the wedding day or something like it (for example). Here, like a normal matchup, you have to write a description of yourself and it follows my normal matchups’ rules. You are the one who choose the character this time, but only one (I don’t do poly-matchs here). We can say it is a fusion between the matchups and the normal imagines.

The scenarios-matches that can be used are:

• First meeting • Meeting again • Friends • New Feelings • Confession • First Date • Kiss • When he/she is jealous • Cuddle time • Some sensual time (it can be changed) • First Fight • Apologies • SPECIAL (your choice, you decide this).

Anyway, you can specify the plots of those scenarios, even if you want to change one (or more) of them, then you can tell me what to add or what to remove. The only thing is not to choose more than 13 scenarios because then I get crazy. These kinds of scenarios usually are not so long, so I don’t think I will write something too long, and it depends to my time and inspiration. This is an experiment that I want to do. Then, if I feel comfortable with it I could make this more often.

If you have questions or something is not clear, you can ask for explanations, no problem-! You can understand it will take time before I could finish to write all this stuff since there are so many scenarios and things, it will not be automatic and speedy so you have to wait a variable time, but I will do my best to answer to everyone.

I remember the 3 winners will be annunce on October 11th , 2017 untill then peace & love ❤️

Thank you so much and good luck~
