Pray for Palestine!
I wish I could put the anger and sadness I feel into words. But, I’m not capable of doing so. And no matter how much I or anyone else writes about this, words cannot fathom the pain that Palestinians and all of us are going through because of this. We should start to voice our thoughts and somehow make a change. We have to fight for Palestinians and all of the Muslims around the world.
Please, take some time to read and learn about what is going on in Palestine.
Hi! This is Hanae! I’m here since 2012 and I’ve already seen many difficult things to face here. But the Anime Fandom has always been the strongest and most unified one no matter what happened. Since 2021 I’ve seen terrible things happening…from people copying one another to arguments to find out who edited first a certain scene and got more notes. It has become a stage for war! People aren’t creating for love anymore but for popularity and when people create for love and not for popularity someone comes (content creators or not) to criticize the person in trivial ways, discouraging the content creator and making them unmotivated to continue creating.I’ve already talked to many people who got discouraged to create just because of this kind of upsetting behavior from people who try to judge or criticize something that doesn’t even exist. These kind of people start a conspiracy about something that doesn’t exist, which makes the creator to feel like they did something wrong. Well, what I mean to say by this outburst of feelings and thoughts is simple: I miss the love (and respect) that we had for each other, the love that we had for the work of each other! When here was not a war stage and there was none of that nonsensical arguments that belittle the work of who is always giving their best to bring a smile to our faces! We are in a critical and very difficult moment, since last year this pandemic has taken its toll on us both psychologically and physically, and I believe that here (Tumblr) is a place where we can forget about reality and be happy. Sowhytheoppositeishappening?Whyarewefightingeachother?Whenweshouldbecheeringupeachotherandgivingsupporttotheblogsthatmakeushappy? I wanted to write a post about this for a while now…and today I found the courage to do so. Just read and reflect on it! I only wish the best for all of you and all of you are really important to me! Thank you for taking the time to read this. You can share this post if you think it’s relevant to you, let’s spread love not hate.
you guys i’m so fucking scared
the pandemic is absolutely thrivingin south asia. i’m not kidding. you might think the US is bad, but the situation in countries like india (which literally surpassed the US for the world’d highest single-day increase in cases) and nepal (which has seen a huge spike in cases recently) is genuinely reached horrible new highs. i have most of my extended family living in nepal, and they can’t go to the hospital for non-covid related issues. there’s barely any social distancing, around 250,000 people are homeless and have no access to proper sanitary resources, and everyone is terrified due to multiple conspiracies about the disease that are spreading like wildfire. the government is incompetent and has barely done anything to help people, and desperation is spreading. india is a bigger country with more resources, and is also suffering, but people in nepal, particularly the ones who live in slums or villages, are prime targets for the virus and will receive absolutely nothing from the government. if you are able, please donate to this fund to support children, particularly orphans, who have been left vulnerable by the effects of the pandemic in nepal. they need your help.
The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women of colour like Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can.Hey! Better yet, reblog this version:

“I couldn’t find any pictures that are-” is a very lousy excuse to whitewash PoC. There are plenty of PoC models, stock images, and editorials out there. You just have to find it. Here are some of the blogs that are dedicated to PoC editorials/models that I follow. Feel free to add and suggestion more.
