WHEN U LOVE SOMETHING SO HARD BUT THE FANDOM CONSISTS OF APPROXIMATELY SIX OTHER PEOPLE AND A SHOELACE
in my overwhelmed era
You may have recently seen a post like this, stating that Sanrio supports Israel and operates 18 stores there.
This post is full of OLD AND OUTDATED INFORMATION AND MISINFORMATION some of which comes from a 2011 article from when the stores were just opened in Isreal. Like with pretty much every other country outside of Japan, Sanrio no longer operates stores in Israel and hasn't for YEARS, to the point that Israelies have even made several past petitions for the stores to come back (none of which have worked) and have stated that Sanrio stuff is not widely found there.
The part about "Hello Kitty Land Tokyo" staying open admist the pandemic is ALSO false, as 1) Japan pretty much closed every and all theme parks immediately admist the pandemic and 2) the theme park isn't even called Hello Kitty Land Tokyo, it's called SANRIO PUROLAND.
Here's a tiktok from user anjeezyalmighty breaking down the original boycott post's outdated and misinfo as well:

TLDR; I'm not telling you to boycott Sanrio or not boycott them but please know that the post going around is NOT an official Sanrio statement nor would they ever make an official statement usually because Sanrio never does when it comes to anything like this. The post is also full of old info and straight up bullshit, and Sanrio no longer operates stores in Israel nor have they for years. Please be careful in sharing boycott posts without prior knowledge on their validity as there are in fact, people who will try to throw random companies under the bus to lower morale and get people to stop boycotting altogether. Thanks.
If anyone has more info please let me or others in the community know.
israel's invasion of jenin is so aggressive and inhumane that it speaks volumes how underreported it is in mainstream media. blocking aid from the refugee camps (classic starvation tactic), displacing at least 20 families in the last 24 hours alone, and now setting fire to jenin's market. they are razing streets with bulldozers. people are left without electricity, food, or water. and now they're targeting ambulances and medical staff without even trying to pretend it's erroneous or they're just terrorists. this is what complete impunity looks like
I love talking to kids about disability bc
1. they often just Get It, and
2. they have 0 concept of disability as a tragedy or something pitiable.
I've watched kids get into an argument with a teacher bc they thought wheelchairs were cool. I told a kid that I can't stand for too long sometimes and they replied, "That's okay, I can't do cartwheels sometimes, but I just do other stuff then. You can sit down with me if you want". Today a girl asked me what the headphones on a classmate's desk were for and I told her that headphones are important for some kids because noises bother them, and she said she wished she had headphones at home, because her baby brothers make a lot of noise and it makes it hard to think. The idea that different people could use tools at different times is intuitive and simple and when accessibility aids are explained neutrally, kids don't see them as bad or unfortunate, they're just things that are useful.
Even mental disability!! In Kindergarten the other day one of the kids asked me why his table partner got stickers when nobody else did. I started off by saying, "Well, when you do your work well, it feels good, right? That's your brain giving you a reward," and the kid just right away went, "Oh, and the stickers are like his reward?" YES! You are 5 and have a better grasp on ADHD than most adults! Kids blow me away every day.
Footage emerged from Gazan journalist Nooh Al-Shagboni of the heroes of the Civil Defense rescuing a number of children, women, and youth from under the rubble of a home bombed by the IOF in Gaza.
A 37-day-old baby named Salam (peace), born during the first days of the war amidst the bombing, was rescued after a four-hour-long operation, reborn from under the rubble after all thought she had been martyred.
Salam was the firstborn child of her mother and father, who both ascended to martyrdom as a result of the bombing.
