it makes me happy to see mei get too many lines for some reason.
I liked the new version of ONE TWO TREE with the 15ki gen in evidence, although I think Mei got too many lines. Maybe Haruka and Ako should have got some of them as well, maybe in the future performances.
right now, a hotel in kyoto, japan is mass rated falsely 1 star reviews by israeli people because the hotel refuses to serve idf soldiers.
this is the message the soldier had recieved:
if anyone is willing to help report the false reviews, it would help this hotel greatly. i think they deserve help with that for being ethical.
reblogs would be appreciated.
this was posted in an israeli group, so no non israelis know about it yet
Assuming that Aang represents the 1800s (colonialism, warships, coal and oil) and Korra represents the 1920s (jazz music, steampunk, cars), let’s say the Earth Avatar takes place in the Avatar world’s equivalent of the 1970s/1980s.
For episode 1, instead of the traditional opening, we get a montage of how the world has changed since Korra died. Someone is watching TV and is flipping between channels, resulting in this montage:
1) A cheesy commercial about the home computer, developed by the Air Republic (by this point, the Airbenders have formed their own country)
2) A tacky ad about a cruise line for Kyoshi Island. The ad is intentionally degrading and not at all respectful of the island (lots of “ooohhh, how exotic!” type of editing).
3) A 60 Minutes interview with the Fire Nation Prime Minister (the Fire Nation government has changed since Korra died). The Prime Minister accuses the Earth Avatar of “Fire-phobia” and that he is biased towards the Earth Kingdom since that’s where he was born.
4) A news report that the crime rates in Ba Sing Se are skyrocketing.
5) A music video from a Northern Water Tribe celebrity. The song is in the style of city pop (ex: Mariya Takeuchi, Plastic Love).
6) A movie adaptation of Aang’s story. The actor playing Aang is obviously based on Arnold Schwarzenegger and the costumes are all wrong. It’s like the 1980s’ version of “Avatar The Last Airbender”.
7) Another interview in which several intellectuals argue about a “revisionist” perspective of the Hundred Year War. The intellectuals argue that the Fire Nation “needed” to attack in order to combat Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe aggression. They also placed the blame of the war on Aang for “cowardly” running away instead of acting as a peacemaker and that the real reason why the war ended was because of Zuko taking the throne.
8) Another news report that war between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom is “imminent”. The Earth President and the Fire Nation Prime Minister both insist that they don’t want war but the news anchors cast doubt on the leaders’ statements. (obviously, this is to mimic the Cold War standoff between the US and the Soviet Union)
After the montage, we see that it was the Earth Avatar who was watching. He’s completely stressed out by what he was watching, which you can also see in his disheveled appearance. He tosses the remote and says something along the lines of, “Korra, if you’re out there, I need your guidance”. Korra doesn’t respond. The Earth Avatar then says, “Fine…I guess I’m on my own”.
Cue opening credits (which may or may not have 1980s synthpop beats).

thank you everyone who are sharing and donating to campaigns on dash, i've been seeing a lot of activity for many different families! we're making a true difference.
however, as we all know there has been mass deletions and shadowbans done by tumblr to Palestinians for months, and it's exacerbated recently. i would get 10 ask notifications daily and yet only 1 or 2 would actually show up for me. tumblr is not just complicit but actively silencing Palestinians in trying to evacuate their families to safety.
i ask you (who is reading this, hi!) to please match to your ability at least one of the below fundraisers that have been stagnating for the past two weeks:
Renad (number 132 on Hussein and Nairuz's spreadsheet!): donate £10 to Renad, who is a midwife taking care of her family members suffering from severe cases of Hepatitis (her mother's case is extremely severe). Currently £14,784 of £25,000 goal reached. donate here
2. Wafaa (number 175 on spreadsheet): donate €10 to Wafaa to help her reunite with her children and grandchildren (4 kids and 1 newborn). Her granddaughter has been having a high fever because of Hepatitis and all the kids are malnourished. Currently €13,929 raised of €50,000 goal. donate here!
3. Mahmoud (number 153 on spreadsheet): donate $10 CAD to Mahmoud, who is trying to evacuate his family with him to Egypt so he could finish his college degree. Currently $13,562 CAD of $50,000 goal reached. donate here

This is Andrey X, a Jewish Israeli pro-Palestine activist.
I don't know how to describe this video so I'll just write out what he's saying:
That is the beginning of an Israeli settlement. And this is the Palestinian village of Umm al-Hiran. Which is right now under a demolition order, in order to expand the settlement that way.
And we are not in the West Bank. We are in the Naqab desert. Every single Palestinian in that village has an Israeli passport. And yet they're being expelled to make way for a Jewish settlement.
And look at the hills around us. This place is empty. If Israel wants to build a settlement, they can do it anywhere. And yet they choose to do it here. Because the only purpose of that settlement is to expel Palestinians from their land.
This is happen all over the Naqab desert. Currently 14 Palestinian Bedouin communities are under demolition orders. And thousands of people are set to become homeless.
This is the most blatant illustration that Israel is an ethno-nationalist apartheid state. The Palestinians of Umm al-Hiran have the exact same citizenship as the settlers who are about to move into their land. And yet the Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed just because they belong to an ethno-cultural group that the Israeli state wants to suppress as much as possible.
I have lost more than 30 members of my family.I don't want to lose anyone else .All I have left is Lolo, the only survivor. I do not know what her future will be like without her father and her life as an orphan. Please, any amount will save the rest of my family.Please help my family survive these massacres & this war.The crossing will open at any moment.I have to register my family to travel. There's not much time
