Reblog if it's the same year as it was yesterday, 2024
i love when sibling characters are fucked up from the same event but in opposite ways
Hold the fuck on no way WW3 jokes are trending on Twitter when this is an extremely serious situation that’s threatening to destabilize an entire region. No way everyone’s gleefully looking at this as if it’s the grand show finale they’ve been waiting all along. There is no fucking way
I actually can’t right now I’m so angry. Do westerners realize that a direct Iranian attack against Israel is literally unprecedented & that this strike marks a major shift in all that’s been happening & that this is grounds for interception by the US. Does anyone realize that Iranian drones have to cross Iraq to access and strike Israel, making it an all too perfect situation for Iraq to be sucked into what could be a regional war. Does anyone realize how serious this is. We have families there.
All I ask is for you guys to take this situation with the gravity it deserves. Please don’t make jokes. Please review all updates carefully. Please try not to spread misinformation. Arabs like me have relativrd in the countries that are on the brink of getting involved in this. The US has never been kind to the SWANA region. Please please please be careful with what you say and spread.
Anyway, I don’t just bring this up when I talk about Twilight, but I do bring it up every time I talk about Twilight:
Reminder that the Quileute tribe, whose sacred stories made author Stephanie Meyer a multi-millionaire, never received any money from the enormous success of the Twilight books or films.
Their entire community is located in a Tsunami disaster zone, in a region where a world-changing earthquake and tsunami are expected to hit perhaps within our lifetimes.
They should be set for life financially based on the use of their stories in Twilight. Instead, they have to publicly raise funds to move to higher ground and have been raising the same funds for years.
Anyone is encouraged to donate, but if you have personally purchased a physical or digital copy of any Twilight media or Twilight merchandise, I recommend matching the purchase with an equal donation to the Quileute People.
Recently, they successfully moved their school to higher ground! It was a major accomplishment to ensure Quileute children can learn in a safe environment! But there is still much to be done .
Statement from the Tribe (link to the source):
“Living in a tsunami zone at the edge of the Pacific Ocean, a catastrophic earthquake can wipe out our community in less than 10 minutes – an entire generation of the Quileute people will cease to exist.”
You can even set up a monthly donation. I don’t have much, but I’ve had a small monthly donation coming out of my PayPal for a few years now.
Many people don’t realize that the tribe didn’t profit off of Twilight, so I mention it whenever I bring up the series!
