Rafael Romero Barros - Bodegón de Naranjas, 1863

you're kidding.....

edit: these are from 2022 AND THERES MORE!

if you run a gimmick blog with a patreon and start whining about the gofundmes of refugees I think at the bare minimum you should be legally required to get PIG tattooed on your forehead in large bold letters with reflective eye-catching ink

I really hope everyone is aware that the GFM that writing-prompt-s targeted is a legitimate GFM. The man who sent the ask, Mahmoud Balousha, is a real refugee in Cairo who I talk to every day and for whom I’m managing another GFM, as well. That one is for his sister, Maysaa.

You can scroll like 5 posts down my blog to see my infuriated response at that waste of space and Mahmoud’s exhausted and defeated response to hearing his desperate calls for help were met with such bullshit. I spoke with him for 3 hours straight after having to reveal to him the lies being spread about him and his family, apologizing in any and every way I could think of to try and make up for this vile, racist, hate mob of spoiled little shitstains who decided to potentially destroy a family’s hope at survival.

Please don’t forget Mahmoud in the midst of all this, please donate and help his family! Maysaa’s campaign has only just broken $3k out of the $60k needed to evacuate her family of 6. Please don’t let your only activism be anger and quips, that helps no one, least of all the Balousha family.

update: writing-prompt-s continues to double down on painting 90-ghost as an unreliable scammer

after this post i made about writing-prompt-s being a complete and total dickweed started spreading around, i honestly thought i'd be done with them for the time being, but someone in the reblogs of that post called something to my attention, and i'm completely and utterly disgusted. i don't care anymore at this point, i just don't want ANYTHING related to writing-prompt-s and their racism towards palestinians passing under the radar, hence this new post. please, if you remember reblogging the first post, reblog this one too, because i think this is an important follow-up. and if you somehow missed all of this until now and you have no idea what this is about, the post i linked explains pretty much all you need to know because i'm not gonna bother going over old info right now.

i thought writing-prompt-s quietly deleting their shitty racist post was a real coward move but i figured that they wouldn't do anything other than pretend like they never said anything and hope that this all blows over for them eventually. but apparently they can't stfu because, in the wake of everyone pointing out to them that 90-ghost aka ahmed has had tumblr for 12 years, they made this post:

i'm completely speechless that even in the face of intense backlash and overwhelming evidence to the contrary that they'd rather double down on attacking ahmed's identity than admit to being wrong. a few of the other dumbasses who accused palestinians of being scammers, while never exactly apologizing, at least backtracked on what they said and went "okay well maybe some of them are legit," but this cunt can't even do that. and what's more, they're doing it in this weird underhanded way where people who aren't in the know (and even some who are) wouldn't understand what they're trying to do here. you know, because they're a little bitch who can't even be open about the fact that they're a virulent racist, so they choose to only express it using subtle tactics.

anyway the screenshotted post is in the wayback machine already in case writing-prompt-s chooses to do the expected thing and delete it in the same way they deleted their initial post.

seriously, we need to wreck this guy.

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

me on wikipedia at 3AM

still very angry at writing-prompt-s lol. actually i'm angry at that entire circlejerk going around trying to convince everyone that the palestinians on tumblr are all bots but writing-prompt-s is someone who has a big presence on this site and who knows what kind of damage they're causing by enabling this rhetoric that real ass people trying to survive a genocide are bots trying to scam you. idk i know this isn't productive but i'm feeling really petty right now and i really wanna see them get destroyed for this. cancel writing-prompt-s we as a collective deserve a writing prompt based blog that's run by someone who actually cares about people dying

Is that a lot of money to you?

If not, then please consider donating that amount to Safa'a and her family, who are desperate to escape the war in Gaza and start over. The fundraiser is in Euros, but a Dollar is worth an Euro, so you don't have to convert anything again! Just donate the same amount!

And if it is, then donate what you can - half an hour, ten minutes, whatever you can spare. Many small donations are what we're going for! And of course, if you can spare more hours for her, please do!

Please, let's help her out. Her fundraiser is vetted!

REBLOG THE POST IF YOU'VE VOTED

tumblr users in the 1930s: have you noticed a lot of these “jewish refugees” asking for help all have the same names and tons of siblings and talk weirdly. you cant expect me to believe youre all named chaim or shlomo

like its actually astounding that so many peoples first impulse is to think think all these fundraisers are fake. we get it you have no palestinian or arab friends but different families having the same surname or first names or a family having multiple members with the same name is very very common. arabic names being spelled in multiple ways is also common. its the same with many jewish surnames (kahn, kohn, cohen, cohn are all the same name) everyone who participated in this is just a racist idiot

here's a list of all the possible results for those curious !~

wdym people can see what i post....

‼️Please don’t skip taking a look 🍉🇵🇸

I am Fidaa from Gaza. I am 29 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to preserve his family. I am married and a mother of two children, Sila, who is two years old, and a child named Muhammad Amr, 2 months old. I gave birth to him during the war and in very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital directly to the tent, and I cannot describe the extent of the suffering and difficulty of living in the tent🇵🇸💔💔

We try to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis, south of Gaza. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it's not just hunger, disease and fear; Rather, it means actual death.

We have been forced to move more than 7 times, and my house has been completely destroyed, and I cannot provide enough milk, diapers, medicines, and vitamins for my children.💔🍉🇵🇸😭

Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I strongly and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza. The situation in Gaza has become unbearable due to slow death as a result of hunger, thirst, displacement, the spread of diseases and continuous bombing.🍉🇵🇸💔

The past months have been full of hell and horror. This war has gone on for too long, and our mental health and lives are constantly at risk. We have reached a point where there is no hope anymore in Gaza, as if we are waiting for death. Even if a ceasefire is reached, the devastation in Gaza in all its forms cannot be quickly repaired

Please help me and my children to get us out of genocide🍉🇵🇸💔

Your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.💔💔

I will be forever grateful for your kind assistance in this difficult time🇵🇸🇵🇸

Thank you for your kindness and generosity❤️.

"i dont think people facing a genocide are taking time to make a tumblr blog/tiktok/etc" reads like "why do poor people have computers/phones/nice things"
