The legacies people leave behind in you.
My handwriting is the same style as the teacherā€™s who I had when I was nine. Iā€™m now twenty one and heā€™s been dead eight years but my iā€™s still curve the same way as his.
I watched the last season of a TV show recently but I started it with my friend in high school. We havenā€™t spoken in four years.
I make lentil soup through the recipe my gran gave me.
I curl my hair the way my best friend showed me.
I learned to love books because my father loved them first.
How terrifying, how excruciatingly painful to acknowledge this. That I am a jigsaw puzzle of everyone I have briefly known and loved. I carry them on with me even if I donā€™t know it. How beautiful.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, ā€œwhatā€™s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?ā€ and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is ā€œunofficialā€, and we know thatā€™s not the right word, but itā€™s the only word we can come up withā€¦until finally itā€™s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is ā€œartificialā€.

If I had my way I'd live in one of those fucked up little houses you sometimes see in very old neighbourhoods where it looks like a fancy two-storey mansion with all the trim and ornamentation and whatnot, but it only has a ground footprint of like 600 square feet. I think that would be good for me.

Thereā€™s certain hobbies and interests that arenā€™t inherently conservative or regressive but do attract a lot of people who are those things or worse and when youā€™re a progressive person involved in those hobbies hearing that someone else is interested in your hobby usually has to involve some ā€œBut are you normal about it?ā€ conversations before you get too excited

šŸŒāœØ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹
Hi, my name is Mosab , and Iā€™m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today Iā€™m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
This journey hasnā€™t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from usā€”25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their loveā€¦ all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far When I first reached out, I couldnā€™t have imagined weā€™d make it this far. Thanks to your incredible kindness, weā€™ve reached 19,800 out of 30,000. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.
But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, weā€™re reminded of how much weā€™ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Hereā€™s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now: šŸ  Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us. šŸ˜¢ Loss: The absence of the 25 family members weā€™ve lost is a pain we carry every moment. šŸ’” Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 might not seem like much, but it could mean a meal, clean water, or a tiny bit of hope for my family.
Canā€™t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.
Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isnā€™t just about helping us meet our goalā€”itā€™s about reminding us that weā€™re not alone in this fight. Itā€™s about hope. Itā€™s about survival. And itā€™s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, Iā€™m endlessly grateful.
With all my love and gratitude, Mosab and Family ā¤ļø

I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

The vast majority of times I use a phrasal verb I'm never sure if I'm using a real saying or I'm making English up. All I care about is being credible and conveying a vibe.

thinking about this bc i did just watch the odyssey 1997 again and this part made it in, but it IS totally wild to me when odysseus returns to ithaka and athena tells him ā€œthis is why i like you; any other man after what youā€™ve suffered would run home to his wife and children in joy, but not you!ā€Ā 
and itā€™s like. what a cruel compliment. what a team
