Help Hadeel and her Family in Gaza

Hey everyone,

One of my closest friends is fundraising to help Hadeel and her family evacuate Gaza. She keeps in regular contact with Hadeel and consistently updates the GoFundMe, their situation is dire and they need our help. Hadeel recently contracted Hepatitis due to contaminated food and water and lack of available hygiene products, and because of rising costs they can’t afford milk for Salma, the family’s 6 month old baby. At the time of writing this post, they’ve only raised about $1,000 out of their $60,000 goal, so please donate if you can or boost and share if you can’t!

Hollywood Studios’ WGA Strike Endgame Is To Let Writers Go Broke Before Resuming Talks In Fall

Hollywood Studios’ WGA Strike Endgame Is To Let Writers Go Broke Before Resuming Talks In Fall

Regardless of whether SAG-AFTRA goes on strike this week, the studios have no intention of sitting down with the Writers Guild for several more months.

“I think we’re in for a long strike, and they’re going to let it bleed out,” said one industry veteran intimate with the POV of studio CEOs.

While some dismiss this as just “cynical strike talk,” studio and streamer sources around town confirm the strategy. They also confirm that the plan to grind down the guild has long been in the works for a labor cycle that all sides agree is a game-changer one way or another for Hollywood.

“It’s been agreed to for months, even before the WGA went out,” one executive said. “Nobody wanted a strike, but everybody knew this was make or break.”

Receiving positive feedback from Wall Street since the WGA went on strike May 2, Warner Bros Discovery, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Paramount and others have become determined to “break the WGA,” as one studio exec blatantly put it.

To do so, the studios and the AMPTP believe that by October most writers will be running out of money after five months on the picket lines and no work.

“The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses,” a studio executive told Deadline. Acknowledging the cold-as-ice approach, several other sources reiterated the statement. One insider called it “a cruel but necessary evil.”

The studios and streamers’ next think financially strapped writers would go to WGA leadership and demand they restart talks before what could be a very cold Christmas. In that context, the studios and streamers feel they would be in a position to dictate most of the terms of any possible deal.

Help my family

November is the month with the most difficult memories in my family's life. On the fourth day of this month, we lost my older brother, Mohammed, during the Israeli occupation's invasion of the city of Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip. My brother Mohammed was shot in the chest by a Zionist sniper. He continued to bleed for hours until he passed away in the first minutes of the ambulance arriving، What is striking is that 18 years have passed since the loss of my brother, and the occupation is repeating the same approach, invading and destroying the same city of Beit Hanoun. We are suffering, we are suffering from a criminal occupation that is unparalleled throughout the ages.

.🔴🔴 Help my family from here 👈👈

I am still calling on you from the Tumblr platform that supports the Palestinian cause to save what is left of my family So that we can provide them with the necessities of life or get them to safety if possible

Hiii, i’ve taken an interest in reading the manga series of Crows x Worst from your masterlist. But i’ve noticed that there are sequels to it and the internet is not giving me a direct answer as to what to read first 😭 , it says Crows was the first series published but that Crowz ZERO is the prequel, pls help meeeee.

You have no idea how happy this makes me! ❤ I can absolutely help you, so let me put together a little guide for you and anyone else interested in Takahashi Hiroshi's delinquent universe. Fellow fans can always correct me or add to the list. This is just my personal recommendation. Click on the underlined titles to read it!

Crows x Worst Reading Guide

Crows: The golden classic and first chronological work featuring the Suzuran delinquent school.

Sono Go No Crows: Optional one-shot set after Crows and before Worst. You don't have to read it, but it offers a smoother transition, and you get to know some characters in advance.

Worst: Continuation to Crows, although with a new protagonist and new characters.

Saigo no Worst: Sequel, takes place one year after Worst has ended.

Side-stories/Gaidens/Other works

Crows ZERO: Prequel to Crows, although written years later. Different cast, and you won't find it online because no group has scanlated/translated it. You can watch the live action movie instead.

Crows ZERO II: Follow-up to the first part, and covers the second movie. Drawn by Tetsuhiro Hirakawa (Author of Clover, another delinquent manga I recommend).

Crows EXPLODE: Sequel to the Crows ZERO saga. Also drawn by Tetsuhiro Hirakawa, only found it translated to Vietnamese.

Crows Gaiden - Katagiri Ken Monogatari: One-shot featuring the Crows ZERO protagonist.

Crows Gaiden: Collection of short stories featuring some of the Crows characters.

Crows Gaiden: Linda Linda: Backstory of Crows character Rindaman in his middle-school years.

Harumichi: Side-story featuring Crows protagonist, Bouya Harumichi.

Next Crows Supplementary Story: Crows side-series, not translated. I have the Japanese raws if you're interested.

Worst Gaiden: Backstories for some of the characters (such as the Umehoshi brothers).

We are the Worst!: Character databook. Couldn't find it online, but I have the Japanese raw scans if you're interested.

Worst Gaiden Dokuro: Backstory of Kawachi Tesshou, only the one-shot was translated to English.

Worst Gaiden Mr. Zetton: Sequel about Zetton becoming a high-school teacher

QP: Set in the same Crows x Worst universe, but it deals with actual gangs and not high-school characters.

QP Gaiden: Collection of side-stories

Kiku: Takahashi Hiroshi's first delinquent manga predating Crows x Worst.

Jank Runk Family: Takahashi Hiroshi's newest series (ongoing), a crossover with OREN's survival manga (included it because it does have delinquent vibes).

Crows Ladies: Genderbend AU

Plus a nice visual guide I found while searching online translations, it has some extra titles I haven't mentioned

Hey queen. You seem v knowledgeable about pro-Palestinian charities. Would you mind making a post or giving some info on which ones are really effective and honest abt their work? I've been hearing some problematic things about UNRWA, and Save the Children seems to be doing very little (as far as I am informed). I donate to PCRF and MAP, but don't know any other, smaller orgs that may also need more awareness? Thanks ♥

hello, thanks for sending this in. so i've been trying to find smaller orgs for palestine that are specifically for helping gaza, but the issue is not much aid is being let in. PCRF is a really good org in my opinion, I'd always donate to them regardless.

There's also the Palestine Museum, which does really great cultural preservation work.

Palestine Legal is a legal aid group that helps palestinian and palestinian advocacy facing legal challenges.

Palestine Action is a direct action group that helps do disruptive protests.

Samidoun helps palestinian prisioners around the world and keeps and eye on them.

Within Our Lifetime is an NYC based palestinian led organization.

Palestinian Youth Movement is a favorite for Turtle Island led Palestinian resistance.

Palestine Feminist Collective is a Turtle Island feminist movement that works to spread culture and information.

Good Shephard Collective seems to be doing good work in Bethlehem as well.

I would mostly look for mutual aid groups for people from Gaza if you want to donate to them. Aya Ghanamah retweets mutual aid groups a lot.

I might share more groups in a second reblog after I hear back on best ways to help them.

Save My Family from the War Nightmare in Gaza🚨🚨

،🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Hello I am Mohammad Tayseer, 34 years old, Palestinian living in Gaza. I am married to Basma Ramez, and we have two children: Jude, who is 4 years old, and yazan, who is 2 and a half years old.

Our life was normal and full of optimism, and we had big ambitions.I worked in smartphone programming at City Phone. I was happy with my job, and our dreams were focused on building a bright and beautiful future for our children. We had a large, beautiful home that sheltered us, full of many wonderful memories.

But suddenly, without any warning, war destroyed everything beautiful in our lives. Our home was demolished by a missile, leaving nothing behind, and my company was also damaged. I lost my job, and we became homeless and without income.

Pictures of a house when it is partially destroyed

Pictures of the house after it was hit by a missile and completely destroyed

We tried to flee more than five times to safer areas in search of security, but safety in Gaza has become nearly impossible. Death and destruction are everywhere, and our children live in a constant nightmare. Opportunities for education and entertainment have vanished, and basic necessities are scarce. We live in poverty and despair.

Donate to Save My Family from the War Nightmare in Gaza, organized by Mohammed Alanqar

Hello, I am Mohammad Taysir, 34 years old, a Palestinian living in Gaz… Mohammed Alanqar needs your support for Save My Family from the War

We are now seeking a chance to live in a safe place outside of Gaza. However, our only hope now is to escape this ongoing hell and find a safe haven for our family. This requires significant financial costs, as border crossing fees amount to $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, a sum I cannot afford on my own.

Every donation, no matter the amount, whether $10 or $20, will have a significant impact on our lives. Your contributions will help cover the costs of travel and living in a safe country. We hope to start a new life away from fear and destruction and give our children a new opportunity to dream and hope. Our children deserve to live in safety

‼️Helping me means helping 5 members of my family..‼️

🥶We're freezing🥶

Hello, I'm Wasim from Gaza, in Al-Mawasi specifically... My family and I were displaced from Rafah after hardship, bombing, displacement, and hunger.😭😔

Now we have been away from our city and our beautiful home for 9 months. We have lost our house that my father built stone by stone and he worked 24/7 to build this house. But the occupation destroyed it, and no house remained in my beautiful city remained intact.😭💔💔

We are now living in a tent or semi-tent, which does not protect us from the cold of winter or the rain. Our lives are very difficult.😔😭

Thanks to your donations, we have been able to buy food and flour, and now I am asking you for help to buy a tent that will protect us from the cold of winter. We do not know what it means to sleep because of the extreme cold.🥶

This is our tent made of fabric and some nylon, not closed on one side. We are freezing from the cold. Help us to buy a new tent. You are our last hope.😭🥶🥶🙏

I also want to ask for help for my mother, who is the most precious thing in my life. Without her, I am nothing...

She has a back cartilage disease and is in great pain. She needs physical therapy, medicine, and vitamins, and I am unable to provide them. Help my mother receive treatment.🙏🙏😭

Please help Ghadah and her family! Take the time to read through this post!

Today, I have been reached out to by Ghada Al-Madhoun ( @ghadahalmadhoun ) , a citizen of Gaza, whose life has been greatly affected by the genocide.

Not only have they lost their home and were forced to flee, but Ghadah's husband has also been lost to the conflict. They now live in a tiny, cramped tent; under the constant threat of violence and death, circumstances that no human being should have to live in. They have been displaced 6 times.

They seek to cross the Egyptian border to escape the genocide in Gaza, however they are short on funds, requiring 5,000 per person. As of now, they are only at 4,120 of their 50,000 goal. Please help these beautiful people. if you are unable to donate, sharing/reblogging is extremely helpful to this family's campaign.
