I have officially received my glasses
(They came in yesterday, but it was absolutely pouring outside)
I’m getting some new glasses
I also got to keep my prescription thingy this time, so that’s cool
I don’t 100% understand what everything on it means but I think I get the gist
I saw the part about how the patriarchy also negatively affects men, and I wanted to expand(?) a bit more on that.
Yes, the patriarchy centers around having men in the main position of power, both at the home and on the political scene (to name a few examples), but it also sells the idea to men that they have these conform to the stereotypes that the patriarchy perpetuates.
And I’m not ignoring the great privilege the patriarchy gives to men, but we can’t ignore the harm that it also causes them.
The idea that men HAVE to be leaders, that they HAVE to be strong, that they CAN’T be vulnerable
We should be able to recognize the harm the patriarchy causes to women without pushing the harm it causes all other genders, but specifically men in this instance, out of the picture.
I want there to be fewer MRAs. Do you want that too? Do you want to know what helps us get there, from a feminist perspective?
You may not like my answer: acknowledge that sexism can affect men. Recognize that, although the patriarchy generally privileges men, they are also subject to restrictive gender roles that are harmful to them (shunning all things “feminine,” not showing emotions, being protectors/strong, never admitting being victims of SA/IPV, having to “earn” their manhood, etc.).
Give young men a place other than the right-wing manosphere to be heard about the issues they experience. If these grifters are telling them “only we understand how hard it is to be a man, the left hates you for your gender” and they look to the left and see “men claiming they have ‘problems’ are losers who just hate women, all men are trash,” do you think they’re going to be drawn towards or away from feminism?
Before you leave an angry response: no, this does not mean to center men instead of women in feminism, it just means including them at all. No, it is not “coddling” men to treat them with human dignity, you can and should continue to hold them (and every other gender) responsible for unpacking sexist beliefs. No, this does not mean it is every individual woman’s and feminist’s responsibility to prioritize men’s issues, it just means at the least not shutting them down when they do speak up about sexism. No, it is not “not all men-ing” to point out that “men are trash” sentiments hurt the feminist movement rather than helping it. Ask questions before you make accusations on this post, please. I have been abused by men too, I get it, this isn’t easy to hear.
I got an ask from that account just today, and I'm so glad I looked into it before even thinking of sharing the donation link, and very thankful for the people who look into this kind of stuff and call out the scammers
It is terrible that there are people who would use this terrible situation for their own selfish gain
please be cautious when receiving asks, especially those asking for donations
I'm Tasneem Masud from Gaza. Am sorry for sending you this request without your permission. My house was destroyed in the war, and my family lost everything. We've been displaced multiple times, but there's no safe place here. I'm battling Type 1 Diabetes and can't afford insulin, and my mother needs treatment for kidney failure outside Gaza. Any donation, no matter how small, can help us survive and get my mother the care she needs. A friend outside Gaza is helping with the donation program. Please reach out if you need more details. Please donate using the link in my pinned post. Thank you ❤️
This ask is a scam. Report and block.

🤸 Welcome to marine facts with Bagel: part 8
A brine lake (I could be mistaken on the name), are much denser than the regular ocean water due to being higher in salt content, which causes them to be like separate(?) from the rest of the ocean, the only thing is due to the super high salt content creatures that go in it will face consequences, such as death
Bagel out 🤸
I have watched “The Witch” (also known as “The VVitch”) this Thursday (Halloween) and here’s something I noticed this run through that I missed the first time I watched it
Spoilers ahead
Ok so Thomasin in order to prove that she is not the witch who has been tormenting and murdering her family and that it may be Jonas and Mercy (two of her younger siblings) she states that Lucifer is known for taking the form of a horned beast (such as a goat), the twins constantly say that Black Philip (who is a goat) (and is actually the Devil in the form of a goat) tell them things, Thomasin says that the Devil always whispers in his adversaries(?) ears WHISPERS (she reiterates the “whisper”which is why I capitalize it like that)
Then the mom, Katherine, has a dream(?) that her two other children, Sam and Caleb have come back to her, in this dream the older son Caleb whispers the whole time even asking her to look at a book for him, which it is stated that the Devil has a book that he gets people to sign
This means (and I could be wrong) that the Devil used Katherine’s grief over her dead sons in order to get her to sign his book
YESSSS
LET THE BOOPING COMMENCE!!!
You can spam boop me!
reblog if you let people spam boop you

Mother octopuses will not eat or sleep in order to protect her eggs until they hatch which can take anywhere from 50 days to 7 months depending on the temperature of the water
Bagel out 🤸
I have decided to eat first
Now I shall take my nap
(or at least try to)
Oh the dilemma of having to choose between taking a nap and eating food 😔

This however is an ordeal/question for future Bagel to deal with :D
Update: I have regained access to my account as of Monday and have completed almost everything that was overdue
Hahaha don’t we love being behind with school work (I have multiple assignments overdue)
speaking of I have been unable to get into my school account :( (especially troubling considering one of my classes is an online one)
Hahaha don’t we love being behind with school work (I have multiple assignments overdue)

Welp guess who’s sick 😗✌️
And yet I still have to do schoolwork 😔
(I have not done any today yet) (that is beside the point)
Asks will be not be closed forever, I just need a break(?) as I’ve been getting a lot of asks regarding campaigns and while I’m happy to help however I can I kept getting a lot in one sitting (if that makes sense) and I felt like a lot was being asked of me, those who’ve sent me asks beforehand are still having their campaigns/go fund me’s shared (I checked to see if they are scammers or not)
Overall asks will most likely only be closed for a few days to a week (If it’s longer it’s because I’m a dumbass and forgot to turn them back on/forgot I had them off in the first place)
Hello ❤️
I hope this message finds you well♡.
I Stand before you as a person trying to preserve his family😔.
I am Lena Khamiss, a mother of three children from Gaza. We lost our home and dreams and everything we owned due to the ongoing war💔.
My husband was injured and can no longer work.
We are now struggling to secure basic necessities like clean water, food, and clothes for our children.
My children deserve to live with joy and peace not with fear and bombing every time.
We have set up a GoFundMe page and kindly ask for your support during these difficult times.
Thank you for any support you can provide.
You can donate and share our story through the following link:
https://gofund.me/cafe04f6
I am unable to donate but I have shared your go fund me so that more people can see it, donate if they can and if they can’t they can spread the word around too
However I did not share it on my tumblr page as I made a post saying that I will be sharing these kinds of things in other ways
I’ve been reblogging a lot of campaigns(?) (idk if that’s the word) lately as I’ve gotten a lot of asks to do so
This is just to say that in the future I’ll likely be sharing in other ways so if you asked me to share or donate your campaign(?) and you don’t see it reblogged on my page it isn’t me ignoring it or anything it’s most likely I shared it elsewhere
There is no childhood in Gaza 💔
At this time, children are usually on summer vacation, playing in the streets and going to the beach to swim. But this does not happen in Gaza. The occupation kills children in cold blood in front of their families because they demand their right to play like other children in the world. What injustice? You are my last hope. Our children want to go to school and live in peace and security
How can you help our children? This is done by donating, publishing the campaign, sharing it with friends, and reblogging. Thanks for helping us

🚨 Help Us Escape the Devastation of War 🚨
Hello, everyone.
My name is Mohammed Abu Swierh, and I’m writing to you from Al-Nuseirat, Gaza, where my family and I face unimaginable hardships. My wife and I are raising our three beautiful children: Mira (6 years), Bakr (3 years), and Maria (1 year). But our once peaceful lives have been shattered by the relentless conflict that has plagued Gaza for about a year. 💔
Our home, which once held so many dreams, is now damaged beyond recognition. Every day, we live in fear, surrounded by destruction, with no safe place for our children to grow up. The war has stripped them of the carefree childhood they deserve. Instead, they are growing up in a world filled with fear, uncertainty, and despair. 😔
After many sleepless nights and countless prayers, we've come to the heartbreaking decision that we must leave Gaza. We are hoping to build a safer, better future for our children, a future free from war and filled with hope.
But we can't do it alone. Here’s where you can make a life-changing difference for our family:
$20,000: To cover the expenses of leaving Gaza and rebuilding our lives in a safe country.
$19,000: For a year’s worth of housing, food, and essential living costs as we adjust.
$1,000: To cover transaction and fundraising fees.
We humbly ask for your help. No contribution is too small, and every dollar brings us closer to giving our children the chance to grow up in peace. This is more than just a financial plea, it’s a call to save a family from the grips of war. 🙏
Your generosity can be the light that leads us out of this darkness. Please consider donating and sharing our story with those who may want to help.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for standing with us in our time of need. ❤️🩹

I’m honestly a mix of neutral and positive when it comes to other people, but when it comes to me I feel a mix of like a feeling of uncomfortableness(?) as well as dread(?) (if that makes sense) (idk how to explain it exactly)
Okay actually, while I'm thinking about it, folks who experience romance repulsion, what is the main feeling you would describe romance repulsion as?
At least for me I feel some combination of these things, but there is a clear winner in what it feels most-like. Please leave in the tags any specifics you can, I haven't ever actually heard people describe romance repulsion (or what specifically triggers it! Now that I'm thinking about it, please also add when you seem to feel it) and I'd love to feel less alone in a very specific feeling
Touch Stances (not exactly sure where I stand) (also not sure about this title ☹️)
How does one determine where they stand(?) when it comes to the touch stances?
Like I think I'm either touch oscillating or touch ambivalent (I'm not 100% sure)
I am very much uncomfortable with being hugged (or really just touched in general) without warning (which my dad does a lot), and I can't stand touching strangers (the best I can do is a fist bump)
I'm like a cat in the sense that I either have to be the one to initiate the affection or in rare cases it's someone I'm close to that can initiate it (if that makes sense) and even then I rarely initiate affection (physical) at all
❤♥️ Save Dr. Farhat’s Family ❤♥️
Dr. Farhat’s family has endured unimaginable loss and devastation. In a previous war, his sisters Amal and Inas were martyred, along with his brother Mustafa. The recent conflict has left their home and office in ruins. Despite these overwhelming challenges, the family still holds on to hope. Now, they urgently need your support to rebuild their lives and secure a future filled with healing and possibility.
The devastating war has not only claimed the lives of Dr. Farhat’s beloved sisters Amal and Inas, and his brother Mustafa, but it has also shattered his entire world. His home, once a sanctuary for his family, has been reduced to rubble, leaving them without a place to call their own. The office where Dr. Farhat dedicated his life’s work to helping others now lies in ruins, a heartbreaking symbol of the dreams and years of hard work that have been destroyed in an instant.
The loss extends beyond the physical; it’s the destruction of a lifetime of achievements, a thriving career, and the stability that his family once knew. The war has left Dr. Farhat not only grieving for his loved ones but also facing the overwhelming task of rebuilding his life from the ashes. Despite this unimaginable hardship, he remains determined to rise again, but he needs your help to turn this determination into reality.
With your love and support, we can help them rebuild a new future. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant difference. Don’t let this opportunity pass without being a part of this noble humanitarian effort.
