there's an upload of wall-e IN ITS ENTIRETY that is being recommended to random people, it's been up since the 22nd and so far the only thing that youtube moderation has done is turn on the "youtube for kids" thing
absolutely nuts?? like.. this is both cool (copyright infringement is fuckin awesome, especially wrt disney shit) and also really funny (because somehow a disney movie with 1.6 million views is up)
honestly i'm surprised it wasn't taken down earlier. i remember the dark age of disney youtube poops where a bunch of them got taken down, even though they were heavily edited and were significantly different to the originals.
honestly i thought some kind of copyright protection bot would pick up the movie and nuke it from orbit but... it just didn't?
anyway i think that's the most interesting thing to happen on youtube this week.
shoutouts to characters that are edgy vampire/monster hunters who wear cool black clothes and kill monsters with swords and/or guns gotta be one of my favorite genders fr
a drawing of my friend Mohammed Abdelgawad, a young Palestinian man from Gaza. he makes a peace sign with his hands among sunlit rubble. the photo of Mohammed i referenced in my drawing.
hey cohost. today i want to tell you about my friend, Mohammed Abdelgawad. his insta is @ s.mohammed_20. i am in the process of adopting his fundraiser from the current owner, Emma.
Mohammed is only 20 years old, but he has already endured more grief than anyone should ever bear. he used to be a university student. he used to be an incredible defensive soccer player. he used to be passionate about design, art, and video games, like me. he is so kind, so gentle, and so open. in the few weeks since we've started talking, i've shared the story of my transition with him, he's shared his favorite love songs with me, and we've commiserated about photoshop together.
another a drawing of my friend Mohammed, this time holding his niece Sidra.the photo of Mohammed and Sidra i referenced in my drawing.
Mohammed and i message on instagram and whatsapp every day. he has shared uncensored pictures of his martyred cousins and family with me, and footage he has not posted to social media.
as we talked today, 8/26/24, a missile fell by the building where he is staying, martyring multiple children nearby. this attack was corroborated by my other friends in Gaza as it was actively happening. less than an hour later, Mohammed received the news that another close friend of his was martyred.
all of this is to say, Mohammed is a real guy, and he really, really needs the help.
if you're not hurting for cash, could you please donate to help evacuate Mohammed? he's responsible for evacuating only a portion of his family, and has a very modest goal of $15,000. 🚨🚨 as i write this, he has only reached $674 of his goal. 🚨🚨
