the fact that both a film depicting the forced displacement of palestinians from their homes by israel and a film that tells the story of how the dictatorship that tortured and murdered thousands of brazilians from 1964 to 1984 ruined an entire family won the oscars is undoubtedly historical
***They need a drink (Criston has water in a flask, because in the show he can't get anything good)/
Cecily of York is the only one who actually seems to understand what is going on and how to navigate the court in her favor.
Like, probably would have been for the best if Henry had married Cecily in The White Princess.

Philipa Gregory going out of her way to demonize Margaret Beaufort, who was 100% a victim of child marriage and rape, while in the same breath romanticizing Edward and Richard will always be jarring to me. In the show, Edward attempted to rape Elizabeth to the point where she had to threaten suicide to get him to back off, but she still portrayed him as genuinely 'good' guy. Richard was behind the death of his nephews historically, but she made that vague, and then had him with his niece (????), but for the majority of the show he was portrayed as a 'nice guy'. IDK it's weird. It's weird when female authors have the ability to impact how historical women are seen in their literature, and instead of being kind to them, they are cruel. Gregory's writing has negatively impacted the portrayals of Margaret and how she is viewed in a lot of historical literature circles.
Sis you had ONE job!!
My name is Mona Shehab, and I am writing to you from Gaza, where life has become an unimaginable struggle. Our days are filled with uncertainty, and the hope for a better future feels like a distant dream.
The road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Life in Gaza Today: 💔 Overwhelming Loss: The pain of losing so many family members is impossible to describe. 🍽️ Barely Getting By: Even basic necessities like food and water are becoming harder to afford. 🏠 No Safe Shelter: Our homes, once our refuge, now feel fragile and unsafe. 📚 Dreams on Hold: The pursuit of education and opportunities has been replaced by the constant fight for survival.
What We Need: In these desperate times, even a small gesture can mean so much. A $5 donation could provide us with food or water for a day. If you can’t donate, simply sharing our story could help us reach someone who can.
Your Support Gives Us Hope: This isn’t just about financial help—it’s about knowing that someone, somewhere, cares. Your kindness can be a source of strength for us, a reminder that we’re not alone in this fight
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 might not seem like much, but it could mean a meal, clean water, or a tiny bit of hope for my family.
Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.
I’m not asking for much—just a little hope, a little relief, and a chance to keep moving forward. Your generosity, in any form, can make a difference in ways you might not even imagine.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my story. Your kindness means more than words can express.
With heartfelt gratitude, Mona ❤️

The asoiaf/hotd fandom fundamentally misunderstands young/teenage girls and it makes me want to go feral

The first post, I bit my tongue while writing.

But if you've ever been the victim of SA after being drugged against your will, then you know why those specific scenes from UTM are the scenes we talk so loudly about. Why we don't normalize that, nor sexualize it, nor wipe our hands of it and say it was just a mask.
I don't want to trauma share. But the feeling of waking up nude with a sore body part, feeling sick to my stomach. Not knowing what happened...but knowing it did happen and I had physical ramifications from it. Was Beyond horrible. Seeing that portrayed in a modern fantasy book from a fmc pov, very sad, but healing. Seeing her end up with her abuser. And seeing that romanticized. Probably another reason I started this blog.
I thought about talking about this when on Sunday my mother forced me to go to her Catholic church and the priest said that we must forgive and my mother said "you hear we have to forgive people"
All I could think was: why?They screw up our lives, they don't apologize and when they do, it's not true.
I don't know, why do I have to forgive them? To give context to this, I'll talk about my experience.
I was bullied by the girls in my class, they made everyone bully me. And my best friend, well, she didn't tell the adults about it, but personally I don't blame her.
This starts in fourth grade and continues through sometime in my fifth grade, I told my dad about some things that were happening to me and a new girl, and my dad told me that what she was doing was Bullying.
I had to tell the coordinator, and then I cried in the middle of the class where they were doing English groups (I'm not American and I don't live in the United States). I was afraid of what she and her friends would do to me. And one day I heard them talking badly about me and some of my friends and from what I heard, one of the girls (I'll call her Mary) was bullying one of my friends, Olivia, and even threatened to kill Olivia.
I actually had dysfunctional amnesia from the time of the bullying (In other words, I don't remember anything about that time), but my friend told me it was really bad, and I was showing serious signs depression and I still have it (I prefer not to talk about it much).
But I was already called a bitch by a classmate in the third year. Because I should forgive people who hurt me, traumatized me, and messed with my psychology.
I moved to the morning, where I think everyone ignores me, I was never good at socializing but I think bullying made it worse.
I think I had hallucinations of demons and things telling me I should die, no one loved me, etc. But I think that was just my depression. Well, I made friends who were in the eighth grade, I thought that I thought they were talking bad about me, hating me, I went crazy. But I'm happy today, one of them sent me a message asking why I missed 3 days, and they missed me.
For a person like me, it means a lot. I think bullying has affected me a lot, and I've been told that I have signs of autism and ADD, which makes my situation a little worse.
So I say as a victim, survivor of bullying, verbal abuse (this was not the people who bullied me).
It's okay not to forgive.
I never forgave,I've had some pretty awful comments made about my hair saying I looked like a boy (just because my hair was short). Seriously, as a trans person (gender fluid and demigirl) this was really offensive. They talk as if it were something horrible, mocking me behind my back, I heard it. I saw people pointing at me, obviously it was very uncomfortable.
I may need therapy, but I probably don't have it since my parents don't pay attention to the signs of depression and autism that I have. Even my friends point it out and ask me if I have autism.
I have amnesia from my own childhood,So if something happens to me, I don't remember. so I would say if someone has hurt you, I would say if you don't forgive them you have my support. I haven't forgiven them and I never will.
I don't think I need to say anything else, I think this was just to talk about what I wanted to tell my mother at the time.
"When she thought of seeing Robb's face again Arya had to bite her lip. and i want to see Jon too, and Bran and Rickon, and Mother. even Sansa… I'll kiss her and beg her pardons like a proper lady, she'll like that."
HOUSE STARK.
I love A Stepmother’s Märchen,How to Get My Husband On My Side.
