Noooo OP you shouldn’t want someone to end you!
We love you! (Not in a weird way, in a really nice platonic way!!)
I rock with a Transformers themed harm reduction group in Central Florida called Kaon City Medix.
Folks who live in Florida can use our mail order form to request supplies including no-cost Plan B, HRT injection syringes/sharps boxes/bandages & alc pads, all mailed straight to your doorstep for free. You can also check out our Resource Rec List for local, regional, and national resources. We're working on translating all these into Spanish, Arabic, and Kreyol. We distribute free narcan and other supplies locally and work with other groups in area to expand the networks of folks we serve; if you're in the Tampa Bay area, Pasco, or Sarasota and wanna help out, we are accepting new volunteers.
If you think this work rocks and wanna support it, you can always contribute to mailing/other costs via ko-fi or Cshpp/Vnmo @/TeamKombatikon.
this is the kinda shit i been on
Megatrons words echoing in my head.
"The age of Primes has ended. No more false prophets. Follow me and you will never again be deceived!! RISE UP!"
"We will not be blinded by his deception, we are the ones who are....Decepticons RISE UP!"
has anyone done this yet
hum..
Everything feels awful right now but it isn't really. We still don't officially have a winner, but regardless of how the presidential election ends up, I wanted to take a minute and find what lights I can in the 3 a.m. darkness. Here's what I know:
* Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to undermine the public education system by offering private school vouchers:
* Delaware has elected a transgender woman to the House of Representatives, the first out trans person of any gender ever elected to congress:
* For the first time in history, two Black women will be serving in the senate at the same time, and they are only the fourth and fifth Black women ever elected to the senate:
* New York State has passed a constitutional amendment enshrining the rights of pregnant people (including the right to an abortion), LGBTQIA+ people, the disabled, immigrants regardless of legal status, and other at-risk groups:
* Democrat Josh Stein has beaten self-avowed Nazi Mark Robinson to become governor of North Carolina:
That's everything I know off the top of my head. It's not many bright spots, but it's not zero. I'm going to try to find more and I'll add them to the post. It's the only thing I can think of to do that isn't sobbing and throwing up or looking up Canadian immigration rules.
If you know more good news, I encourage you to add it in reblogs.
I TURN ON MY PHONE IN THE MORNING.
SEVERED LIMBS RED LINES ON THEM, CHILDREN EYES HALF-LIDDED UNMOVING STARING AT THE SKY ABOVE, ASLEEP, BLOOD ON THEIR FACES STILL FRESH.
I MAKE MY COFFEE.
HUSHED WHISPERS BARELY HEARD YET DOCUMENTED. AMONG THEM SCREAMS AND GUNFIRE, BURNING SMELLS AND RHYTHM OF BOMBS.
I LOG IN ON TUMBLR DOT COM.
SOLDIERS IN PALE GREEN HELMETS BULLETPROOF VESTS STANDING OVER LAYING MEN. THEIR POSTURE RELAXED THEIR TEETH BARED CONVERSATION GOING THEIR GUNS POINTED TO THE GROUND BELOW, TO PEOPLE FROZEN IN FEAR, ALL ACROSS THE GREY RUINS PAINTED WITH BLOOD GREY SKIES PAINTED WITH SMOKE.
I REFRESH THE GOFUNDME PAGE - LAST DONATION 4 HOURS AGO, 3 DONATIONS IN 14 HOURS. I DOCUMENT THE CHANGE AND TRY TO MAKE AN UPDATE.
NOTIFICATION INTERRUPTS THE FLOW. LINES OF PEOPLE PLEADING FOR BREAD NO END IN SIGHT. MOST WILL GO WITH NOTHING, TRYING TO COME UP WITH EXPLANATIONS FOR THIS FOR THEIR CHILDREN - EXCUSES THEY CANNOT BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES ANYMORE.
IS THIS NORMAL? SHOULD IT BE? SURELY YOU HAVE SEEN A FUNDRAISER POST OR TWO AT THIS POINT. YET I STILL REPEAT ALL THE THINGS I REPEATED FOR TWO MONTHS:
FALASTIN'S FAMILY CONSISTS OF 24 MEMBERS, ALL OF THEM STUCK IN GAZA AND SUFFERING FROM THE ONGOING GENOCIDE.
THE FUNDS FROM THE FUNDRAISER ARE THEIR ONLY HOPE FOR SURVIVAL. THEY NEED FOOD, WATER, MEDICINE, CLOTHES.
OF COURSE THEY ALSO NEED FUNDS TO EVACUATE BUT THE WAY CAMPAIGN IS MOVING THEY'D BE LUCKY TO GET GROCERIES TOMORROW. THEY'D BE LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.
FALASTIN IS RIPPING HER HEART OUT AND HOLDING IT FOR YOU TO OBSERVE EVERY DAY. SHE DOES THAT DESPITE CREEPS AND ZIONISTS HARASSING HER BECAUSE IF SHE LOGS OFF AND DOESN'T WRITE ANYMORE EVERYONE HERE WILL FORGET HER AND HER SUFFERING. A POST HAS A SHELF LIFE OF 2 DAYS, 3 IF KIND PEOPLE OF TUMBLR ARE GENEROUS WITH THEIR ATTENTION.
10 USD = 106 SEK

⬆️⬆️please donate to this fundraiser and share with your peers to help a family !!!! ⬆️⬆️
answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:
tl;dr:
israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.
with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.
the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.
as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.
the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.
ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.
and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.
all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!
long answers under the cut!
if you wanna donate to a charity that's absolutely fine, but the thing is most charities (and even the UN!) are unable to make it into gaza in the first place, leaving aid rotting at the egyptian side of the border or subject to israeli settler attacks
not to mention, charities and nonprofits also maintain a paternalistic colonial relationship with the indigenous people they are trying to help, determining what aid they need for them instead of returning power to them and letting them make their own choices
i'm not here to say that one option is better than the other, just that they achieve different things and are equally legitimate. there's an attitude among people who question the legitimacy of these gofundme campaigns that somehow the people promoting them are telling them not to donate to charities. nobody is stopping you from donating to charities. we are just asking that you do not dehumanize the very real gazans in your inbox just because their method of asking for aid is more direct and risky.
unfortunately that's exactly what has happened. because israel destroyed all of gaza's more formalized infrastructure, it seems that organized crime and rampant inflation has taken its place. aid is supposed to be free, but in order to save for evacuation or the cost of living, people have started selling them at an inflated price. and aid that is truly free attracts intense, large crowds that are dangerous to navigate.
this was posted on abc a few days ago
it's pure, unrestrained capitalism. i've had multiple palestinians describe this situation to me confidence. that's why everything's so expensive now. why people have to rent out tiny plots of land for their tents to sit on, why my friend @siraj2024 still has to buy tarps to cover the broken windows of the overpriced bombed out apartment he rented, and why a bag of flour can cost a thousand bucks in the north.
even before israel closed and then bombed the rafah crossing, the egyptian hala travel agency was only allowing people to cross the border if they paid a hefty $5000 USD per adult / $2500 USD per child bribe. it denies doing this, but the hundreds of stories from palestinians say otherwise.
with regard to the economy, here in america we saw something similar happen in the wake of hurricane helene and milton. the podcaster margaret killjoy describes how she saw dual economies rise after asheville was fully cut off from the rest of the country - some people offered each other supplies for free in a sort of mutual aid honor system, and some people required payment when they lent supplies because they themselves needed to buy stuff for their families. these dual economies exist in gaza too. and this means they all still need money to survive.

I think people are forgetting how strong D-16 was even before his ascension in being Megatron. And yeah, hold on—hold on, I know some people are going to mention other characters but I want to once again look on D-16.
He is so strong, from straight up lifting a large boulder (?) to help out Jazz (with the assistance of a jetpack of course but STILL) during the Energon mine closing up, to punching rocks to make way for Orion Pax and Jazz during their escape out, to that one concept scene I remember where Orion Pax was helping D-16 train with a steel punching bag that had dents—IT HAD DENTS. A STEEL PUNCHING BAG.
Here’s the art btw
This isn’t like a big thing probably but, I just really like D-16 if you couldn’t tell and admiring the guy. His strength is what I’d imagine also helped him get to the TOP of his sector, this guy’s the best of the best and ough
collapses
Don't let go
There is nothing in the world worse than the feeling of helplessness, that you cannot do anything, and you are standing in hell, and you are unable to do anything but silently observe your pain.
Hello 👋
Please take a moment to read my story.
I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.
We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. Our house was completely destroyed. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.
Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, but it too became rubble. Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.
If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,
With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.
With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,
Heba Al-Dahdouh.
Family 167 - Imagine being a mom, a wife, and a dedicated career woman on the brink of life-saving research, only to have everything ripped away. This isn’t just a personal loss; it’s an assault on progress and humanity itself. When the pursuit of knowledge and the chance to help others is brutally stopped, we should all be enraged. A world that allows this to happen is failing us all. It’s time to stand up and refuse to let dreams and lives be crushed.
please support my campaign #167 listed in paliliberation linktree

Hello, all! Recently, @help-mona reached out to me about the fundraiser for their family. I'm trying to help spread the word and pull in more donations for them! I donated 10 euros today, and I highly encourage others to match my donation!
No donation is too small! Even if you can't match 10 euros, every little bit you can spare really adds up and helps people! Please do check out their page and share their posts! And share this with people who aren't on Tumblr as well. Collectively, we can show others that we are still talking about and care about helping people in Gaza. And inspire others to help to. Please support @help-mona's campaign!
"Alright!... Thanks :)"
He has such a cute smile ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod
Oh crap…guys…I think…I have a new hyperfixation..
#transformers #tfone #transformersone #OMGRTHHISSSSSSSISSOTRUE
just going through the movie again for references and noticing random things
D-16's badge having 6 notches (assuming it showcases excellence, hard work/rank) and Orion only having 1 (troublemaker.) -- which is why D-16 stomps on it out of frustration; it's the symbol of his devotion to Sentinel Prime.
there's a certain point - namely when they reach the cave - where D-16 is clearly at the end of his rope. His first reaction to every single event is anger; which is not wrong!
It's just in sharp contrast to Orion who doesn't hold the same devotion he did, therefore isn't taking events quite as personal as D-16.
Sees dead Megatronus > Angry at whoever did this (assuming Quints at this point)
Alpha Trion declares that Sentinel is a false Prime - Angry and defensive (that's his idol and cybertron's savior)
World View falling apart > Angry at Orion for leading him off protocol that led to these events. Angry at Sentinel who should be executed and paraded for his betrayal.
Even his first instinct is to Fight when the Quints arrive. He's ready to stand up and not take things lying down anymore. He's ready to take charge of things - to set them right.
Unfortunately, to D-16 - that means disregarding what anyone else says too, including Orion who led him previously.
D-16 in the midst of all the unfolding events, finds blame in Orion for leading him to these life-shattering painful truths being unfolded before them.
Which is contradictory to the praise he was giving Orion for leading them to the surface previously when it was seemingly beneficial at the time; it's realistic - but still sad.
As D-16 lets out at Orion how he truly feels - being dragged around by Orion; Orion's first reaction is to reflect. "am i truly at fault?" - and later on after Airachnid attacks the High Guard, he clearly believes what D-16 said as well. That this was all his fault. (Even though it really is Sentinels'. And a friendship is not a one way street.)
When Orion learns about Sentinel's betrayal he's shocked; but his mind immediately goes: How do we stop him? How do we help the people suffering under Sentinel? How do we show others the monster he truly is?
Both D-16 and Orion want justice but prioritize different things. It's about revenge and the righteous killing of a false prophet for D-16. For Optimistic Orion, Sentinel should be exposed, to face his crimes and be judged fairly. The less bloodshed, the better a new age for Cybertron can begin.
Let it not begin in a bloody execution fueled by hatred. Let them not be like Sentinel who took the future of Cybertron forcefully into his own hands through blood. Who brutally ripped Megatronus's cog out from his corpse.
("Don't be like Sentinel.")
Even right after the argument when they get their cogs, the first thing they do is look at each other.
God. They are heartbreaking.
Right after they return from seeing Sentinel collude with the Quintessons.
The line of shadow drawn between D-16 and the rest as he is faced away... A visual way to represent the fracture forming in between them...
I love this movie so much.
Gonna end my ramble here for now - and this is just from the cave - there's SO MANY things to just go on and on about this film.

He guys! Starting this time right now, it's the birthday of my Ghazzan friend Mohammed El-Shaer (@malmo038). There's not much I can do for my friend while he's in blockade and genocide. If I could, I would bake him a cake with my fiancée, throw him a party, take him to get his hair cut, and have some tea with him on his balcony in Ghazzah. None of these things are possible.
But what I can do is this: donate 70$ to his Gofundme, and ask all of you to match that amount. Think of what you would do for one of your friends in this situation. Think about how dear they are to you and what you would do to cheer them up. I cannot erase the suffering he is experiencing everyday, but I can try to alleviate some of it by helping him survive, and maybe he'll be able to get himself a treat too ♡.
