Hello my friend, I am a hadiah from Gaza.

Can you help my children and donate even a little

I was working as a lawyer to bring justice, and now you are the ones who will bring justice to me...

I have children. In the name of humanity and not participating in genocide.

I ask you to re-share my story and help my children if possible. Ten dollars is enough to save my children.

Please do what you can.

i'd rather not engage online discourse. i mean, i'm also generally against engaging people or entities you dont know, but online discourse especially, not.

Dear Friends,

I write to you with tears in my eyes and a heavy heart. After 188 days of displacement, constant fear, and struggling to survive, we managed to escape with our lives and reach Egypt. But the pain didn’t stop there. Just yesterday, we lost my children's grandfather 💔, not due to direct war, but because of malnutrition and the lack of basic life necessities. We couldn’t save him, just as we couldn’t save our home or our dreams.

The rest of my family is still trapped in the war, suffering the same harsh conditions that led to the passing of my children's grandfather. We are here trying to build a new life, but we have lost everything. We lost our home, and my children were deprived of their schools and universities. Even my eldest son, who worked so hard to build his future, lost his job and saw his dreams shattered.😔

We are now in desperate need of your help. We seek to secure a safe home that will provide us and our children with basic needs. Life in Egypt is extremely difficult, and prices are soaring beyond our reach. All we ask for is a chance to rebuild our lives and secure a better future for our children.🙏🏼

From the depths of my heart, I ask you to stand by us in these difficult times. Your support means hope and life to us.🙌🏼🇵🇸

im going to name a few examples of webtoons off the top of my head

im going to get flamed but its true

unordinary: Farrah

Divorcing my Tyrant Husband - the 'aggressive' tyrant king

king is on right, mc in middle, lov einterest on right

i mean COME ON

unfortunately, hand jumper by sleepacross, my favorite webtoon:

^ the only character i could find that was slightly darker skinned (all of hte main cast are east asian or white -- and even then theyre all pale)

this dudes name is literally "the butcher"

ok now this isnt off the top of my head now im actively looking through my webtoons list

this one is the Princess's Jewels by Hong-Cha -- basically the two characters with emalnin are either hyper aggressive and jealous or super stiff and basically has zero character except having basic human decency

also it uses the excuse of "the Black people that can turn into wolves/giant shadow wolves have dark palms because of the paw pads of days" and like okay why doesnt eh dude who can turn into an eagle have sharp nails or feather pattersn on his arms or a white outline on his mouth for a beak or SOMETHING like PLEASE be consistent or at least be committed to your POC characters

highly recommend to NOT read this webtoon if you are the type who likes plot mor ethan art because this was just I Don't Know How To Write A Female Character TM galore

and then last but not least, Muted by Miranda Mundt. im going to be honest i loved this webtoon, i just wish Nyra had develope[d her character faster because in the first few episodes she had like five stereotypes written into her but they slowly got developed out so honestly im not mad about it. i also wish her hair had texture :[

now for good webtoons to read

Daybreak - cute, feel-good, slice of life, wholesome friendship things and is very lgbtq+. main two characters are both Black, both trans, and are so freaking sweet. this comic updates twice a week too!

Suitor Armor - im sure most people have heard of this but if you havent you should read it beacuse oh my gosh what a story - fantasy drama with some comedy in it with dark themes, slightly mature content (gore, etc.), adorable and yummy art style, interesting characters that are POC and!!! they have character!!! not just empty shells of people!!! they also give all hair their textures!

Lovebot - now this oen is also by Miranda Mundt, and i gotta say, wow is the improvement TANGIBLE! poc main character, several poc supporting characters, hair with TEXTURE, with INTEREST, gender is a SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, imaginative and creative science-fiction futuristic setting where we solve climate change and now its the future. very dark, mature themes, not reccommended for younger audience. great read, just finished too so go read it while you still can for free with no daily pass shenanigans!

god i spent too long writing this

It's everywhere

Please check Islam's new blog here @islamgzacc4

Islam, a 27-year-old physical therapist from Gaza, needs urgent help after his home was destroyed by Israeli bombings. Now, he and his family, including his 85-year-old grandfather who lost a hand in an earlier attack, are without shelter. They are struggling to find clean water and food, and with winter coming soon, they worry the tent they live in will flood again, just like last year.

Islam tries very hard to share his story through his blog, but it has been banned four times, making it difficult to tell people what is happening. To help his family, Islam made a GoFundMe to raise £30,000 for food, water, and shelter. Sadly, only £3,000 has been collected so far, and they still need a lot more to survive.

Please take a moment to read his latest post, where he describes the pain his family is going through. His relatives were seriously injured in another attack.

This fundraiser is confirmed by trusted sources like @gaza-evacuation-funds, @90-ghost, @northgazaupdates2, @riding-with-the-wild-hunt, and @mushroomj.

Every small donation or share can make a big difference in helping Islam and his family during this hard time.

Please donate to Islam’s GoFundMe if you can. If you cannot donate, sharing this post will help spread his message. Together, we can give hope to Islam and his family.

Hello dear friends! ❤🤍🖤💚

🍉I am Mahmoud Ayyad, a Palestinian from the besieged and destroyed Gaza 😭😭, coming from an extended family of young children, women and elderly people ❤❤ who have been suffering😭😭 for 300 difficult days from an aggressive war.

Our lives are harsh because we lack all the basic necessities of life. Everything has become scarce and unattainable. There is no food, no water, no medicine.

So, I ask you to help me keep my family safe and alive, especially after we had lost all our sources of livelihood.Please do not leave my family to struggle and suffer these difficult days alone. You can support my campaign by donating whatever you can or by sharing my posts to reach others who can help us survive the war to safety and peace. You are helping the lives of many people with your small contribution. Every donation makes a difference in our very difficult lives. But this is a legitimate campaign and has been checked by 90-ghost.

The Model Minority Myth Today -- Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. Harvard

Asian-Americans being discriminated against in college admissions, specifically towards Harvard.

The rat race of college admissions tends to be an uphill battle for Asian-Americans, as the Model Minority Myth (which stems from the creation of H1-B and EB-3 visas prioritizing skilled workers, causing Americans' perceptions of Asian-Americans as ALL highly skilled, which is untrue) contributes to the sky-high expectations of achievement by Asian-American high schoolers.

"To illustrate just how strong the Asian-American pool is, in the baseline dataset Asian-American applicants have academic indexes that are over 0.2 standard deviations higher than whites, almost one standard deviation higher than Hispanics, and over 1.5 standard deviations higher than African Americans. Indeed, Asian-American rejects have academic indexes that are higher than African American admits."

While yes, academically Asian-Americans excel, it turns out that in other areas of college admission they slump.

"Using data over ten years, they found that Harvard’s admissions officers assigned substantially lower personal ratings to Asian-American applicants versus white applicants, especially when compared to the ratings assigned by teachers, counselors, and alumni interviewers."

"Asian-American applicants suffer a statistically significant penalty relative to white applicants in two of the ratings Harvard’s admissions officers assign to each file (the personal and overall rating)."

So not only are the personal and overall ratings one of the contributing factors, but it is likely due to racial biases within school counselor and admissions officers systems.

White people having the most legacy as usual.

Within each of the other three groups (3, 3+, all 2’s), African-American applicants have the highest admit rates followed by Hispanics, then whites, and finally Asian Americans.

In fact, the scoring for African-American applicants on Harvard’s overall rating exhibits the opposite phenomenon exhibited by Asian-American applicants, as African-American applicants are disproportionately concentrated at the high and low ends of the rating scale.

African-American applicants are either overperforming or underperforming, never averaging out, showing how also due to societal norms and racist ideologies, have to fit the mold of being extraordinary or what society tells them they are. Or entirely be seen as a diversity student to lower (or raise) the GPA to seem more welcoming or exclusive.

Asian-American applicants are less likely to be admitted if they are in the middle of the road. They have to be exceptional or above average, otherwise they get completely ignored.

Despite being more academically qualified than the other three major racial/ethnic groups (whites, African Americans, and Hispanics), Asian-American applicants have the lowest admissions rates. In fact, data produced by Harvard show that this has been true for every admissions cycle for the classes of 2000 to 2019. A closer examination of the six years for which Harvard produced applicant-level admissions data shows that even removing those who receive some other form of preferences (such as legacy, athletic, or early action) still results in Asian Americans having the lowest admit rates over this period.

Asian-Americans are disadvantaged in a space where everyone else thinks they are not.

you know when your adhd compels you to immediately stop all work and begin reharmonizing a choir warmup for spooky season (october) and purposefully go download a free videoediting software (ShotCut, hot artists dont gatekeep) to then continuously voice record myself for the next one hour exactly cutting and editing the voice recordings to line up (speeding up by 1.001000x with pitch consideration) and then having a result that was absolutely not worth the time because your two-voice harmony one sounded much better than the three-voice one you spent twice the amount of time as the two-voice harmony one figuring out and you messaged your music major friend about it but theyre asleep rn so your thoughts are still hyperfixated on music even though i've music'd all the music there is to music right now because i have no instruments near my vicinity enough for my adhd to consider it more convenient than it is important to stay hyperfixated on this unimportant task?

yeah me neither
