!! Please don’t skip

taking a look 🍉🇵🇸

Here is my story 🍉

Hello, I am Eman from Gaza, a science teacher and a mother of five children: Nada (11 ) , Rahaf (8) , Sarah (5) , Sham(3) and Zeina 8 months. Before the war, our life was heaven. When the war broke out, everything changed. My school was bombed, our house burned down, my husband lost his job and my children lost their schools, thier toys, clothes, dreams and future.

We were displaced and displaced more than 10 times..

My little girl Zeina was born in the tent and you can imagine the extent of the suffering with the lack of health care, the absence of baby milk and the crazy rise in prices (Diapers, detergents and food )

My children suffer from skin diseases, water pollution and malnutrition with no medicines available .

Every day there is destruction and bombing.. My children live in real terror. They have lost their friends, relatives and dreams in this crazy war. Please help me and my children get out of Gaza. Help my children to live in safety and peace like the rest of the children in the world.

My children have lost a whole school year and if they can't get out of Gaza they will lose more school years. Help my children get their right to education and live in safety and peace like the rest of the children in the world. Save us from the hell of war.

Please help. Any funds raised will be used in daily survival and if enough is raised, to be able to evacuate Gaza. 🥺🍉

Vintage Drarry Fics

Thought I'd put together a list of some of the old Drarry 'classics' of my teenage years, for anyone interested. All posted between 2001-2006, compiled using my (bad) memory, a lot of googling, fanlore.org and numerous different LJ rec accounts (including the incredible @capiturecs). I checked as best I could, but if anyone knows of any fics that their author doesn't want to be shared, please let me know and I will of course remove.

Please also note that these fics are of their era, when attitudes may have been different, and they may not all be grammatically perfect. I haven't reread all, as my own tastes have changed, but most importantly do note that they may not be tagged - don't blame me when, for example, Harry dies tragically on a rooftop at sunrise...

You can donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund for as little as $1.00.

There is a fee you can choose to apply to cover processing.

Which if you choose to do leaves you with a total of ~$1.35 (USD) depending on the type of card you have.

PCRF has a score of 97% on Charity Navigator.

Adults and children alike are currently dying in Palestine due to starvation. (World Health Organization Link)

The Gaza Strip is one of two places in the entire world that is categorized as Phase 5 (the highest phase) on the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification scale.

So even if you think it isn't enough, remember that donating even as little as $1.35 helps! It's $1.35 they wouldn't have had otherwise. So donate if you can. 🇵🇸

DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!

DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!

[dazxd-and-confusxd]

Don't forget about the Palestinians.

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

Don't forget about the Palestinians when the world tries to make this go away.

An Ao3 appreciation post

You guys DID THE THING and I salute you for it.

As a writer, this site has given me the opportunity to expose my writing to hundreds, if not thousands of people. It's also an amazing outlet to share whatever headcannons or imagines I have of any fandom I'm obsessed with. It is Ellis Island for poc & lgbtqia+ writers who may or may not have the support of their peers, family or even a publisher but yearn to share their works with the world.

As a reader, I also enjoy the content within ao3. There's something for every person of every background and fandom. It's amazing the masterpieces that have been generated from ao3.

So I'd like to use this post as an opportunity to show my immense appreciation and gratitude to all those who've worked tirelessly these past few days to save this amazing thing. Kudos to all of you!

The Ao3 community is forever.

i'm actually so fucking sick of zionists using phrases such as "Was it worth it, Hamas?" cause literally what the fuck are y'all yapping about??? Israel has been indiscriminately bombing gaza in front of our eyes since last October, Israel has murdered more than 30 thousands Palestinians within 5 months, Israel is forcefully starving gaza, Israel is the one committing war crimes everyday, Israel is continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Israel. is. illegally. occupying. Palestine.

we all know who are the perpetrators here. and zionists can't gaslight people into "hamas started it" bullshit anymore. everyone is actually sick of Israel's dumb colonialism propaganda where they just repeat same old tactics “how dare you palestinians resist us, after we have your stolen land, freedom, human rights and subjugated your people under fascist colonial regime.”

Israel carry out atrocities in broad daylight and then go ahead blame Palestinian resistance for the said act of savagery they've performed, "O their audacity!" indeed!

"Alice Isn't Dead: A Novel" by Joseph Fink

My mini review of this book; It's a really good book with great wlw representation. The main character Keisha has an anxiety disorder and I really enjoyed the way she was written. The first 2 parts of the book had me hooked and I loved the mystery it presented, the atmosphere the author set was a vivid testimony to rural/mid America and life on "the road." The relationship with Keisha and Alice was super cute and the way Keisha's grief was described really gave me an idea of her mindset. I love how Keisha chose to not forgive Alice because Alice deserved it, but because Keisha deserved to be happy. I rarely see books make their characters deal with the consequences of their actions, and it was a moment that felt very real and in character.

I will say that there is a pretty big tone shift in the second half of the book, I wont say any spoilers but the switch from small town, trucker, mid-west murder conspiracy wasn't something I saw coming. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, and the writing continues to deliver all its goodness from the first half.

All and all I highly recommend this book, not only to the Welcome to Night Vale enjoyers, but anyone looking for a good mystery/horror fiction/thriller book.
