I Feel Like You’re Probably The Best Person To Ask This; Do You Have Any Recommendations For Someone

Reblog if

It’s 104% okay to come to your DM and just say, “Hi, can we be friends?” And then start asking you random questions.

aaaahhh I'm drawing hiyori from noragami in the same semi-realism anime style i did yato and........ I unintentionally made her look so much more older then her actual age.... I'm still gonna post it when I'm done because I did work hard on it but to all the noragami fans in advance , I apologize🙇

Hey I just watched smth recently~~~

I know that it seems as though things cooled down in Palestine after the ceasefire, but they haven't. Sheikh Jarrah is now under blockade, no one from outside of the neighbourhood goes in or out smoothly, and sometimes Palestinian residents resort to sneaking in. The court order to forcefully expel Palestinians to replace them with settlers is still awaiting.

Silwan, also in East Jerusalem, has been facing severe colonial violence and segregation and is awaiting the same faith as Sheikh Jarrah, where the residents of 6 neighbourhoods out of 12 are going to be displaced and expelled by Israeli authorities and U.S. settler organizations.

Facebook and Instagram are deliberately censoring Palestinians, labelling almost every post, story, and comment as sensitive content. Not to mention the Israeli paid censorship of hashtags such as #SaveSheikhJarrah & #FreePalestine.

The Israeli MFA is investing millions of dollars to attack, blackmail, and censor celebrities and official bodies that support Palestine, pushing further the instrumentalization of antisemitism to counter the criticism of Israel, and Palestinian liberation. These tactics are both harmful to Palestinians and Jewish communities actually facing antisemitism, colonial, imperial, and racist oppression.

Palestinians in 48 (Israel- Occupied Palestine) are facing colonial oppression on multiple levels; Israeli Police are violently arresting online and offline activists for engaging in peaceful protests and for advocating for Palestinian liberation, Israeli's are firing Palestinian workers and company employees, while also boycotting Palestinian local products, and physical assaults in the streets are still very much a thing.

In Jaffa, there are approximately 300 forced expulsion orders for Palestinian houses, by the state-owned colonial real estate company ' Amidar '. An estimation of 20,000 Palestinians are now living under the threat of being homeless. This is just a continuation of what Israel and its neo-liberal colonial companies have been doing to Palestinians in 48 ' lands.

Since May 10th, more than 25 Palestinians were killed by the IOF (Israeli Occupation Forces) in protests in the West Bank. Since the "ceasefire" Israel invaded al Aqsa, detained 500+ Palestinians, surrounded Silwan & Sheikh Jarrah, demonized the entirety of Palestinian society in Israeli and right-wing (but not only) international media, protected armed Israeli civilians in assaulting Palestinians, and let Israeli civilians/soldiers/police officers who shot Palestinians dead, walk free.

Don't Stop Talking About Palestine.

Save Sheikh Jarrah.

Save Silwan.

Save Jaffa.

Free Palestine.

palestinian journalist muhammad smiry is also providing live updates

It still drives me crazy that this was written in 2014

Don’t let the ignorance and censorship of the media allow you to turn a blind eye on what is happening to Palestinians.

And for the love of literally anything, do not even dare saying "oh there's always two sides to a story, the Israelis probably had a reas-".

No. They do not have a reason to do such atrocities, nor does the IDF have a shred of humanity within it.

A literal 16 year old boy was killed a while back.

Masjid-al-Aqsa, one of the holiest Muslim sites was attacked and more than 163 people have been injured.

Palestinians are forcibly being removed by the IDF from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighbourhood in Eastern Jerusalem, and giving them to Jewish settlers.

This is not only supported by the government, but was ordered by it in accordance to a law claiming that these houses belong to Jews and they have a right to them. Once these Palestinian families are removed from their houses, they will become homeless. 

Is there any reason behind this ethnic cleansing? The boy was Muslim? People in the Mosque were praying on the last Friday of Ramadan, a day of great esteem? Palestinians are just living in their homes after being forced out of their previous homeland?

If these are your reasons to defend Israel in its atrocities, you're welcome to escort yourself from my blog, and from the face of this Earth. Oh, and next time you're mentioning Muslims being terrorists, keep this in mind, will you?

The fact that this level of atrocity is even up for debate in 2021 is heinous and absolutely disgusting.

Last time I asked for recs but I missed out on more recent movies so here’s a list of animated movies you might have missed out on… Part 2! :) (as per last time; This post will have multiple links (to the trailers of the movies) so tumblr might try to “shadowban” it, please reblog or save somewhere else if you want to keep it.)

Long Way North (2015)

In 1882, a young Russian aristocrat goes on an epic adventure to find out what happened to her grandfather and save her family’s reputation. This french animation have slipped under the radar for a lot of people, which is unfortunate because compared to a lot of the “simpler” stories in animations made for children as target audience, it’s this movies strong point. 

Bilal: A New Breed of Hero (2015)

A thousand years ago, one boy with a dream of becoming a great warrior is abducted with his sister and taken to a land far away from home. Thrown into a world where greed and injustice rule all, Bilal finds the courage to raise his voice and make a change. This movie is made in the United Arab Emirates about Bilal ibn Rabah’s start in life.

Zarafa (2012)

A bold ten-year-old Sudanese boy befriends a young giraffe and a kind Bedouin, who takes them on a splendid journey via a hot-air balloon as far as the palace of King Charles X of France. The style in this movie is so gorgeous, much like classic western animation! French-Belgian movie.

Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs (2019)

Princes who have been turned into green Dwarfs seek the kiss of the most beautiful girl in order to break the spell. At the same time, a princess is looking for her lost father. A fairy tale-parody with a twist. This korean movie caught a lot of unwarranted slack before being released due to a very gross ad. The ending credits are especially very cute.

Felidae (1994)

The story centers on domestic house cat Francis and the grisly feline murders taking place in his new neighborhood. I would recommended people to watch this movie based on style and animation alone, but there’s a lot of… adult themes including gore and sex. Very strange in a who-the-fuck-is-this-movie-marketed-for??-way but aesthetically pleasing. Made in Germany.

Over the Moon (2020)

Fei-Fei’s mother dies when she’s young and when she notices her father moving on, she takes comfort in a mythological story her mother used to tell her. Made by legendary animator Glenn Keane that worked on all your favourite Disney-movies.

Wrinkles (2011)

A man with Alzheimer struggle to adjust to life in an elderly care facility. There he makes new friends and reflect on the disease. There some really strong themes of love and friendship. Watching it, I felt it was actually really refreshing seeing an animated movie with main characters (and issues) that are not just teens! Quite a bittersweet watch. Some of the scenography is also really gorgeous. Made in Spain.

Lupin III: The First (2019)

Lupin III  (known character from several anime series and movies) goes on a grand adventure to uncover the secrets of the Bresson Diary, which is tied to the legacy of his famous grandfather. Sort of a really strange story at times but wonderful animation and a playfulness that reminds me of those cartoons you used to watch as a kid!
