It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
Stop pointlessly attacking people who didn't ask for your opinion.
It's a waste of everyone's time.
just for that im now gonna invent a entire religion purely to shame mac n cheese periods thou shall not bleed when covered in cheese amen

Link tto some of the leasebound dissertions you mentioned? Or even just where they can be found? I appreciate it!
First of all: very sorry about the late reply!
Second: the majority of people on the leasebound tag on tumblr have come up with amazing stuff regarding leasebound!
One such account is @micah-write , who makes great criticisms of the webcomic in depth, and who I was largely referencing with that line! Their criticism of Rusty's skin lightening over time was spot on, and I laughed so hard at the "Patricia" line.
Another is @fluffytimearts with their incredible art! They've done amazing redraws and redesigns!
@l0veraven has a ton of cool dissertations and criticisms, such as their criticism about Riley linked here: https://www.tumblr.com/l0veraven/763359106662809600/we-dont-talk-about-riley?source=share
They're also working on a fic to rewrite LB in its entirety! It's available on AO3.
@angelmelon is pretty famous in the Leasebound community, and is working on a sort of redraw of the entire comic! They're wonderful, and their ideas are interesting to hear out.
@codabound has so many good ideas that I wish I posted first, and they're all very well phrased and well rounded. They've also got great art on their account!
And finally, @chrysalis-the-butterfly has this amazing Blaire text that inspired me to write my initial Blaire post:

Save My Family from the War Nightmare in Gaza🚨🚨
،🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Hello I am Mohammad Tayseer, 34 years old, Palestinian living in Gaza. I am married to Basma Ramez, and we have two children: Jude, who is 4 years old, and yazan, who is 2 and a half years old.
Our life was normal and full of optimism, and we had big ambitions.I worked in smartphone programming at City Phone. I was happy with my job, and our dreams were focused on building a bright and beautiful future for our children. We had a large, beautiful home that sheltered us, full of many wonderful memories.
But suddenly, without any warning, war destroyed everything beautiful in our lives. Our home was demolished by a missile, leaving nothing behind, and my company was also damaged. I lost my job, and we became homeless and without income.

We tried to flee more than five times to safer areas in search of security, but safety in Gaza has become nearly impossible. Death and destruction are everywhere, and our children live in a constant nightmare. Opportunities for education and entertainment have vanished, and basic necessities are scarce. We live in poverty and despair.
We are now seeking a chance to live in a safe place outside of Gaza. However, our only hope now is to escape this ongoing hell and find a safe haven for our family. This requires significant financial costs, as border crossing fees amount to $5,000 per adult and $2,500 per child, a sum I cannot afford on my own.
Every donation, no matter the amount, whether $10 or $20, will have a significant impact on our lives. Your contributions will help cover the costs of travel and living in a safe country. We hope to start a new life away from fear and destruction and give our children a new opportunity to dream and hope. Our children deserve to live in safety

(idk what mouthwashing is sorry)
what I wish people would understand about fundraising for gaza is that while everyone is desperate and I would never say not to fundraise for or donate to individual families-- I currently fundraise to support multiple friends' families-- the overwhelming narrative I see on Tumblr that the best and most ethical thing you can do is send money to individuals and there is no option for anything else is so so incredibly damaging and inadvertently lends support to the marginalization and distrust of any remaining communal social infrastructure. the sameer project, which you should donate to, talks about this in a recent video they put out. the situation in gaza is unimaginable and everyone is in need of a huge level of support, and yet this fundraising discourse by well-meaning people in the west that donating money to individuals is the only moral way reproduces societal divides wherein resources are directed to people who speak English, who have relationships with people outside of gaza, and who have internet access while hundreds of thousands are left behind.
there ARE non-ngo locally based grassroots initiatives working to meet those needs however they can, and your small donation goes a lot further with them because they are able to buy food/water/supplies in bulk at a reduced price and reach more people with less money. again I'm not saying people shouldn't fundraise for individuals because these initiatives are so limited and many people cannot access them -- but as an example, the group I fundraise with is currently serving people fleeing north gaza who are starving and have nothing, and when we fundraise enough to do cash aid distribution there's so much need that our partners can only distribute 100-200 per large family. and then I go online and see people who have absolutely no understanding of this context at all exclusively working towards raising tens of thousands for just a few people when evacuations haven't been possible for months. it's good to do whatever you can but please consider how this narrative being reproduced among westerners trying to help that there are no other options has the potential to damage groups working towards equity and wider reach however is still possible
Might post more abt my comic here soon. If you're interested
