Ms. Rachel announces she’s matching Macklemore’s $1 million donation in support of Palestine:
“I will match Macklemore's donation and I invite every wealthy white celebrity to match it and speak out against the genocide in Gaza.
Over 20,000 precious Palestinian children have been killed and children continue to be killed every day.
We have a moral obligation to use our privilege and platforms to protect children and human rights.”
nung nanakawan ako ng wallet alam niyo ba dun talaga sumagi sa isip ko na "sayang kayo sa tax" hahahaha. nung nanakawan kasi ako, wala pang 10 mins yun kasi napansin ko kaagad na nawala na yung wallet sa bag ko and since katabi lang ng police station kung saan ako nanakawan, na-report ko agad. but you know what they did? instead of doing an effort para mahanap yung nagnakaw after i described to them the details i remembered, all they did is bigyan lang ako ng upuan and sabihan ng "marami na kayong biktima ma'am, ganyan talaga 'yan. dapat iningatan mo bag mo" and spent all those times just gaslighting me na "at least hindi kayo nasaksak/napahamak" 😃
and please don't get me started with the police blotter they made because we spent half an hour with that report when all the info they need was just my name, age, address, and whatever is in my stolen wallet and pagtanggap ko pa ng paper, mali-mali yung spellings and grammars ng report.
idk about u guys but i think this is also one of the reasons why criminology students are looked down by a lot of people kasi you can see what they can be after pursuing that career. and i am not even generalizing because sure there are good and smart students/police officers but sobrang konti lang nila and they are not enough to cover for the incompetent ones.
yes, naaawa rin ako sa mga students na nadadamay because of their corrupt and incompetent seniors but you really can't blame the people who observed na majority of the behaviors is ganyan.
Being 10 years old and making your debut in epigenetic trauma research all because you noticed your caterpillars still loved you after becoming butterflies is so profound and poetic and impressive. I love children and their incredible hearts and minds!!!!!!
constantly think about how she understood him, even though her empathy was the first thing he took out of his wedding speech and she forgave him instantly, while it took him the entire film to make his mind up
I remember a teacher telling me how Archaeologists would hack off the noses of statues they found in order to remove any indication that it was of a black person or any POC. It hurts me to think of all the art we've lost and damaged because of historical revisionism and flat out racism.
if her brand disturbs u, do not book her. yun na yon. hindi yung umaabot tayo sa ganito.

British Museum colludes with pro-Israel lobby to erase Palestine from historical exhibits
——
An investigation by Middle East Eye has exposed the British Museum for covertly removing the terms “Palestine,” “Palestinian,” and “Israeli occupation” from its historical displays following intensive lobbying by pro-Israel activists. Internal emails obtained via a freedom of information request reveal that the London institution rapidly altered descriptions of artifacts dating back to 7,500 BCE to appease political pressure groups, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews and high-profile figures.
While museum director Nick Cullinan publicly claimed the changes were part of a standard curation refresh and backed by audience testing, the newly released disclosures confirm that no visitor research regarding the term "Palestine" was ever conducted.
The internal correspondence details a frantic effort by museum staff to pacify complaints lodged between October and December 2024, with one directive explicitly ordering curators to remain hyper-conscious of the anniversary of 7 October. In one instance, a panel describing ancient rulers of “Palestinian descent” was scrubbed and changed to “Canaanite origin” within five hours of receiving a complaint from the Board of Deputies.
Middle East Eye cross-referenced the redacted emails to identify key lobbyists, including right-wing commentators and historians who weaponized access to the museum's leadership to argue that historical references to an ancient Israelite occupation would stoke modern antisemitism.
The targeted erasure has sparked a severe diplomatic and cultural backlash, with Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Husam Zumlot accusing the public institution of betraying its historical integrity to serve political ends. Cultural figures and human rights defenders have condemned the museum for complicity in what the United Nations classifies as an ongoing genocide in Gaza, noting that the bureaucratic deletion of Palestinian history in London directly mirrors the physical destruction of heritage sites on the ground.
Despite photographic evidence showing that references to "modern Palestine" were replaced with "Gaza and the West Bank" at gallery entrances, the British Museum has refused to answer specific inquiries, issuing a blanket denial to Middle East Eye that any erasure took place.
what many evelyn fancasts are missing is that evelyn can't just be white. she has to be one of those people who are very racially ambiguous in a 90s way where they're certainly "ethnic" but you're not sure if it's in a southern italian or filipino way. get anya taylor-joy out
