thinking about how my dad fled his home country at 19 in the middle of a war and then after 9/11 came to my preschool to educate kids on middle eastern culture/food/clothing so they wouldn鈥檛 be scared of people in traditional/religious dress or worry when they heard someone speaking arabic
It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them.
It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around.
I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives.

Hii, I LOVE Red Hour and just read the lyrics document for it and I cannot for the life of me hear the last part of the lyrics at the very end of the document in the actual song.
THIS PART. The lyrics sound so cool and I know they gotta be there somewhere buried in 10.000 layers of background vocals but I cannot actually make them out. Can we get the acapella for this part I would love to hear ittt :3
i hate to inform you that you still cant hear it when i mute the 5 main tracks
