Palestinians: Joe Biden has the blood of thousands of Palestinians on his hands. I will never support a genocidal monster like him.

Mohammed is an engineer and founded the Gazan 3D printing company, Tashkeel3D. His contributions to the medical sector in Gaza have saved so many lives in light of Israel not allowing medical parts and equipment to enter Gaza during the years of blockade.
And right now he is under fire in the north of Gaza while his family is in the south. He needs help saving his life and the lives of his family as he is raising funds to get his family across the Rafah border.
george lucas, remarkably unsubtley, over and over again: the fall of the republic was because of corporate interests interfering with politics and increased complacency with fascist ideas in the face of a manufactured war
everyone, for some reason: so the jedi were the REAL villains because they didn’t get married
🚨🚨 In the space of 2 weeks we’ve gone from a pilot project that involved my cousin making and distributing one pot of fortified stew a day to a fully fledged soup kitchen with 10 volunteers that feeds 160 families a day or roughly 800 hungry people daily, in Omdurman #Sudan
To do this we’ve cut out all possible overhead costs to ensure we can feed as many people as possible
🟢Our volunteers are unpaid
🟢Our cooking utensils are borrowed
🟢The kitchens storage rooms are donated free of charge
🟢Transport of food items from the market to the kitchen is free courtesy of my Cousin’s Tuk tuk.
🟢However, in order to maintain this kitchen beyond Ramadan we need you to support this Gofundme that is now fully funding this kitchen 🙏🏽
Id: there are two photos in the tweet. The first in the tweet are of a group of men and women. The second is of stacks of backs of lentils.
Very important update from our friend @moatazart! Please read!!!
We have come a long way and there is only a little left.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support. There are 15 days left. Can you reach the goal before that?
Thank you all
Moataz, Mariam, and Maria are SO close to having enough money to evacuate! The goal is almost 75% achieved!
There are only about 2 weeks left of the campaign, and conditions in north Gaza continue to deteriorate. If you can give even just a few dollars, it would be an immense help! If every one of our followers gave just $2, Moataz’s family would have enough money to evacuate! If half of our followers gave just $4 or if even one quarter of our followers gave just $7.50, Moataz’s family would meet their goal!
HERE IS THE DONATION LINK!!! You can also click the link below
PLEASE keep up the momentum! Let’s help this family escape genocide!
So I read the first 3 volumes of She Loves To Cook and She Loves To Eat (Tsukuritai Onna to Tabetai Onna) by Sakaomi Yuzaki, and um, Sublime. 11/10. Perfect. Preordered volume 4. Cannot wait.
VOLUME 1 VOLUME 2 VOLUME 3 VOLUME 4
Expect a lot of content from this one in coming weeks.
The story is about two women who live alone in small apartments.
Yuki Nomoto is an office worker in a men's world. She loves to cook but tends to cook more than she can eat because she loves the creation aspect more than the eating. Moreover, she loves cooking big portions and desperately wishes she had someone to cook for. But not a man. Nope.
Totoko Kasuga is an alcohol merchandiser who lives two doors down from her. She's a very big, tall woman who eats a lot, and fascinates Nomoto when she's seen carrying home a family-size KFC order- just for her.
Nomoto decides to invite her over for dinner, and the two women immediately hit it off, planning future dinners, making weekend trips to farmer's markets, and planning their winter holidays together.
Eventually, the apartment between theirs is rented by a younger woman who needs to get away from her overbearing family, She befriends her new neighbors and they bond over how traditional Japanese values have hurt them all in some way.
Nomoto connects via Twitter with other women who share her interests and help her discover who she is and who she wants to be.
The series makes a lot of commentary about how much of what women do is expected to be for men's consumption. Why do I have to cook for men? Why do I have to dress cute for men? Why are men prioritized in family life? Why is the love between women so stigmatized? Why is it seen as lesser? Why is there so little dating advice for sapphic women?
Things I love about this story:
The love interest is a big girl like me!
It explores the emotional intimacy of cooking and eating together - my primary love language
Romance without all the shuddering, blushing, awkward hand-holding and attempts to kiss that get dragged out for 50 chapters, which can be cute but gets tiresome
Acknowledgement of asexual, aromantic and demisexual identities
Productive discussion of the ways "well-meaning" parents abuse their children without hitting them
Things I don't like about the series:
No step-by-step cooking instructions!
It leaves me with a strong desire to try cooking things I simply can't get all the ingredients for without a trip to an Asian market 30+ minutes away, which feels like such a drag because I work in a grocery store, and I hate going grocery shopping by myself.
The longing for a girl-next-door type meetcute has intensified.
I love cooking and baking. I love food. I love wine and beer and dinner cocktails. I dislike that I don't get to share this love with others.
This is what love looks like. This series was tailor-made for me.
The ideal ship dynamic is a tall, gorgeous, talented brunette with a disregard for social cues, who stands apart even among their own people, and a slightly traumatized Chris Pine
Those takes about the Jedi Order requiring you to “forgo your heritage” never made actual sense; we ARE introduced to Jedi characters who do things according to their people’s cultural tradition to the point of dressing or tattooing themselves accordingly. Sometimes a combination of both. Being a Jedi doesn’t actually mean forgo those connections.
You literally see a whole-ass government that actually suppresses the very things they attempt to blame the Jedi for & see it in how they dress. The Empire actively stomped out cultural traditions & had people ESPECIALLY in their military to conform to certain dressing standards deliberately.
Thank you Sakaomi Yuz for "She loves to eat, she loves to cook" this is the sapphic ace fantasy I've always dreamt of T o T If there was ever a yearning to be both the person cooking and the person eating, it is reading this manga T o T And there is a live action happening, bless T o T
Sudan is going through a famine, and with Ramadan coming up (this year it'll start March 10th), it would be nice to donate so that families can have food and medicine.
With the exchange rates for many of us, even a small donation could help in a big way, you don't need to donate the full $30.
