“The world is swirling with so many mysteries and secrets that nobody will ever track down all of them. But with a book you can stay up very late, reading until all the secrets are clear to you. The questions of the world are hidden forever, but the answers in a book are hiding in plain sight.”

Often boring, sometimes exhausting, and occasionally thrilling, every moment of life is unskippable.

you're jake hix. your parents leave you behind in stain'd-by-the-sea, but at least your aunt takes you in. you have to work for food and board, but at least you get to cook. you drop out of school to work full-time at hungry’s, but it’s okay, because you can still read at the library. you see pip and squeak taking care of themselves, and they remind you of you. you start feeding them whenever they visit. and when young lemony stumbles into town, you take him under your wing too.

Last Push for My Family's Fundraiser before the Temporary Ceasefire in Gaza: Help My Family Seize the Opportunity to Evacuate
Vetted by:
1. @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi # 151 on the spreadsheet of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List
2. @riding-with-the-wild-hunt Here.
From thousands of miles away in Ireland, I have watched my family endure unimaginable conditions of fear, displacement, hunger, and thirst in Gaza. It has robbed me of sleep, struck my heart with constant fear, and caused indescribable pain and agony.
If this war has taught us Gazans anything, it's that Israel can never be trusted. Many Israeli officials and extremist ministers have already declared that this ceasefire is temporary and that the war will resume with even greater ferocity, raining missiles and bullets on Gaza once AGAIN!
If this war has taught us Gazans anything, it's that Israel can never be trusted. Many Israeli officials and extremist ministers have already declared that this ceasefire is temporary and that the war will resume with even greater ferocity, raining missiles and bullets on Gaza once AGAIN!
Hearing about the devastating loss of friends and acquaintances who have lost their families chills me to the bone. I cannot fathom how one continues to live in this world without their family. What would life look like? How could there be any joy, meaning, or value left? I don't want to know, and I won't take any chances.
I am determined to evacuate my parents and sisters at the first opportunity a ceasefire is reached.
Please help by reblogging and boosting my final support post for my family's campaign. This upcoming temporary ceasefire might be their only chance to evacuate and survive. Time is critical. Please take action today to help my family find safety and rebuild their lives in Ireland.
As we inch closer to achieving our goal, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you-friends of Gaza, friends of Palestine-for standing by us during this time of strife, fear, and agony. We are forever indebted to you.
Your support, even with just a click, can make a huge difference in the lives of people in desperate need. We pray that you and your loved ones will never have to endure the horrors of evacuation and war.
Please don't look away. Take action today.
Donate, reblog, and share with your friends.

ishmael dislikes many volunteers of the newest generation. he dislikes beatrice baudelaire, olaf, josephine, bertrand b., the snicket siblings (the youngest snicket in particular is the worst of them all)... it's easier for ishmael to list those he tolerates and/or likes.
and ishmael has reasons to dislike widdershins.
widdershins is an outsider to the organization. widdershins was a random child taken from streets who no one batted an eye for. no doubt if organization had known of his existence and watched over him, his photo wouldn't be taken, name unwritten.
widdershins is a random refugee orphan from a poor country torn by civil war, which went bad to worse after the war was over. but it pales in comparison to the troubles of the organization, something that widdershins eventually learned over the years.
widdershins is a volunteer who lagged behind in his studies on account of english as his second language. despite struggling to balance school work and night esl classes, widdershins would waste his time reading mythology books, ocean books, and more.
ishmael had no qualms to tell widdershins the truth many times as a child and teenager -even now as a young adult- that he is a parasite. ishmael tells widdershins without hesitation that he's a leech who steals away valuable resources away from those who truly deserve it.
it makes sense for ishmael to dislike widdershins. one would even think that ishmael would hate him. but it's because of those things that has ishmael liking widdershins. in fact, ishmael would say that widdershins is his favorite of the newest generation.
ishmael was entrusted by widdershins own adopted father to be in loco parentis whenever away. believe it or not, ishmael has some standards, which made him the ideal volunteer to protect a young widdershins from those who want to harm him by violent means (or worse) when father dearest isn't around.
ishmael as widdershins' guardian, personally taught young widdershins basic mathematics (geometry was his best) and basic chemistry (that was his worst). ishmael took widdershins to his night classes, and watch from afar to be sure the troublesome instructor widdershins had didn't do anything funny or harmful.
ishmael when being widdershins' first chaperone, taught widdershins what he needed to know about the ocean and its danger. when widdershins went to his second chaperone, ishmael was furious who said chaperone was: a former apprentice now captain who didn't serve the title. but ishmael kept his tongue in, for widdershins' sake.
most of all, ishmael was and is able to be physical with widdershins, of the affectionate kind and the corporal punishment type. ishmael could ruffle widdershins' hair, or pull him close into a hug. ishmael could slap widdershins' face, or give him the cane. ishmael is able to get into widdershins' personal space without consequences.
even though ishmael likes widdershins, the feeling is not mutual. widdershins more than once makes his dislike clear. he never says it, but his actions says it all; such actions for examples are widdershins rubbing the spot on his face where ishmael touched, or widdershins flattening his hair after ishmael tousles it.
ishmael accepts widdershins' dislike for him. ishmael doesn't expect widdershins' feelings towards him will change. widdershins is free to like or dislike whoever he wants. ishmael will never force widdershins to see him in a positive light, and will never do tactics of any sorts that would manipulate widdershins into thinking so.
because at the end of the day, ishmael got what he wanted, even if widdershins doesn't recognizes it.

it’s one thing for lemony to not look up esme’s last name, deciding it unnecessary or whatever, showing that he doesn’t care enough to research it
but then eleanora also does the same thing. she enjoyed the performance but she also didn’t try to look up her last name.
it’s. fascinating. esme only going by “esme” and nobody knew her last name before marriage theory intensifying ……
#if it’s L he could just be passive aggressive#even if his sentence is aggressive enough lol#esme squalor#the unauthorized autobiography#lemony snicket#eleanora poe#daily punctilio
