What to boycott NOW to help stop Israel’s unfolding genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

We call on our supporters to strengthen our targeted boycott and divestment campaigns to maximize our impact!

Reminder that boycotting DOES work, there is historic proof! Don't let anyone discourage you otherwise!

The BDS movement uses the historically successful method of targeted boycotts inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement, the US Civil Rights movement, the Indian anti-colonial struggle, among others worldwide.

We must strategically focus on a relatively smaller number of carefully selected companies and products for maximum impact. Companies that play a clear and direct role in Israel’s crimes and where there is real potential for winning, as was the case with, among others, G4S, Veolia, Orange, Ben & Jerry’s and Pillsbury. Compelling such huge, complicit companies, through strategic and context-sensitive boycott and divestment campaigns, to end their complicity in Israeli apartheid and war crimes against Palestinians sends a very powerful message to hundreds of other complicit companies that “your time will come, so get out before it’s too late!”

When I started this tumblr I made the private decision to only post about my fics and nothing else. I said it would be the one space where I’d be “selfish,” the one place where it’ll be about the joy of my hobby and nothing else.

But over the past few days, I’ve watched trans creators who thought they were safe in this fandom come to the stark and heartbreaking realization that they’re not. And that’s emblematic of so many marginalized groups realizing that the thin veneer of safety that they thought they had in the world is being ripped apart at a terrifying pace.

Fanfic, at its best, is an anticapitalist, anti conformist, transformative, radically accepting, and imaginative art form, but that’s only true if the people within it are equally committed to that ethos and each other.

In other words, practice what you preach and don’t be an asshole.

can we talk about Dazai desperately trying to pull from his tragically limited will to live, trying to hand Oda all the tricks he tried to develop for himself to find a reason to stay alive like everyone else seems to have, all because seeing someone he cares about give up on living was too hard?

Can we talk about how it shows that despite his grim outlook on life, Dazai still wants to try to figure it out, because there has to be something he's missing, he just needs to look harder, and can Oda come with him to search for it, they will figure it out together?

Can we talk about how Oda gave up, but didn't want Dazai to follow suit, so he gave Dazai his own tricks he developed for himself to find meaning in his life: help people, take care of those who need it most, be good, then at least the world won't appear so grim.

They were friends, they recognized each other's darkness as their own, and both tried (clumsily, a bit insensitively) to give the other the tools to get out of that darkness. Dazai wasn't equipped to help a man whose darkness came from violence, but Oda had somewhat made the leap from bad to good before it all came crashing down, so he tried to hand that knowledge to his friend, to give him something different, before his death took that last opportunity from him.

hey do you remember when shipping was supposed to be fun and people didn't stereotype a black woman to be angry and manipulative. and people didn't stereotype a disabled man to be a pure baby who has done nothing and clearly can't help himself. and people didn't stereotype a smart man of color as incapable of making a decision without someone telling him what to do usually in the role of a partner? me neither. do you think we can stop tho because none of us are even having fun with it
