A little bit of the Harry Potter Oc I wrote.

In 1987, Rhiannon was seven and was very aware of the Wizarding world. Her older sister, Simone, was already in her second year and wasn’t shy about telling her or their parents about the magic or letting Rhiannon hold her wand. Rhiannon would always sneak to look and read her sister’s schoolbooks, her favorites being Magical Draughts and Potions and Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them, she would read them for days and not get bored and it got to the point where she could recite any passage from the books and Simone would always remind her that the potion professor never used the book in his classes. Of course, her older sister would also remind her how rare it was for there to even be muggleborns, so she was not expecting to be a witch until her eighth birthday. 

Rhiannon was struggling with her math homework, she took a deep breath and whispered “I know this... I just need to remember the formula was again” She tapped her pencil against the desk and the more she stared at the paper and the numbers the more stressed she became. “Why can I remember potion recipes and what unicorns' hair is used for, on the top of my head, but not remember a simple math formula!?”  She complained as she threw the pencil down on the desk, she felt her face and hands warming up as she stared at the paper, her eyes getting watery. She kept staring and as soon as the tears finally dripped down on her face, her hands lit up and with a panicked scream she fell, staring at the fire on her hands; it didn’t burn, it felt nice... like she was putting her hands near a fire and that her hands weren’t literally on fire and as her parents and sister rushed overlooking in awe. Her mother came over and tried to stop the fire, as her sister hugged her the fire died down only to her finger like it was a candle and her sister looked at her smiling... “You’re like me!” and hugged her tighter, Rhiannon stared at the fire feeling the comfort of the warmth “I'm a witch!” Rhiannon shouted as the fire grew more before snuffing out leaving no burn marks.

They all calmed down and her father smiled a bit “Couldn’t you have just made the cold water turn into hot water like Simone?” He joked hugging her while checking her hand just to be safe, “Do you know how rare it is for TWO muggleborns to be in the same family?”  Simone asked wanting to show off “Now wait, why did your hand even do that?” their mother asked in a stern voice “I.. I couldn’t figure out my homework and.. I got angry that I couldn’t figure it out, I wanted to know, and I knew that I could do it, I just forgot how..” Rhiannon whimpered out turning red in her cheeks and her father rubbed her back “That’s okay, you got stressed but that just shows you wanted to know, let’s take a break and I’ll make you some jasmine tea then we can try to figure it out together.” he said, and she nodded getting up. 

After that, Rhiannon couldn’t wait to turn eleven and get to Hogwarts, she reread all of Simone’s books as the years went by, and though her accidental magic was more work and chaos she knew that meant she would learn how to control it with her wand. She would spend every day daydreaming in her class about what it would be like her wand, her house, how she would do in class. All of it felt like a dream but as soon as 1990 february the eleventh rolled around and a barn owl flew by dropping a letter on the doorstep, she rushed over to her mother almost sliding against the wood as she took the letter ripping it open and read the letter and it said:

“Dear Miss. Roth

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwart of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.

Term begins on September 1. We await your owl by no later than July 31.

Yours sincerely, 

Minerva McGonagall” 

Rhiannon was practically vibrating as she read over the letter and equipment “I can use Simone’s old first year books so we just have to get the uniform, cauldron, glass phials, telescope, brass scales, and most importantly my wand!” Rhiannon smiled, “Good thinking.” her father smiled ruffling her head as Simone went down the hallways to bring her books to Rhiannon’s room though she looked a bit upset to be giving up her things. 

That same night, Rhiannon snuck into her sister’s room and whispered “Hey... What house do you think I’ll be in?” Simone rolled over trying to fall asleep, but Rhiannon kept talking “Hm.. I know you’re in Gryffindor; it would be cool but at the same time not cool if we got in the same house, oh maybe I’ll be in Slytherin... But I’m not really a leader but can be if I have to.. But I don’t think so.” She whispered while sitting on the bed “Hufflepuff sounds cool, but I can lose my loyalty pretty fast if someone does the wrong thing, which I think is a good thing in certain situations.” her sister finally turned around and stared at her “I would say Ravenclaw but.. You’re the smartest person I know and if you’re not in Ravenclaw then I can’t be…” Rhiannon looked down at the ground and wiped her eyes “I think you’d be great in any house, but you’re probably right you most likely not be in Ravenclaw.” Her sister whispered, and Rhiannon eyes went wide “I.. Thanks..” Rhiannon whispered out, almost stumbling over her words “I should go to bed now, good night loser.” She smiles a bit “Good night, demon spawn.” Simone calls out as Rhiannon snuck back to her room.

Help a queer family of disabled nerds

Hey my name is Dante, I live in the Midwest with three of my best friends. We have four cats, one of which is my babyman whom I love very dearly.

His name is Latke Library Card Mango (LLCM). He's very orange and he's the light of my boyfriend, Kris, and I's life.

Cat pics are great right? Have a few.

A few months ago, latkes chronic bladder stones condition acted up which resulted in two emergency vet visits and a week long stay with his actual vet to get the stone removed.

It was the size of a chickpea.

Here's a photo of his post surgery when he had a nakie tummy. He was very very happy to see us.

He's since recovered, but the cost of this put us back around 1300 dollars in total. He's now on a special diet with rather pricey food to prevent this from happening but it might still act up eventually.

We've paid down some of his debt, but the interest is making it become more and more as we try to pay it down.

On top of this, our pipes backed up into our basement and refused to work suddenly a few weeks ago. We live in a house that is over a century old, and the clay pipes keep getting roots growing into them that causes them to not drain.

The roto had to come out and high pressure the roots out to clear them (which required expensive equipment), This put us back another grand.

To add to everything, our 700+ auto insurance bill is due in November, which is the worst time for this bill to need due, but both myself and Kris drive over ten miles to work during different shifts on opposite ends of town- neither of our jobs have public transit anywhere near them.

We are currently barely making ends meet-

I am a lunch lady at a public high school. I love my job. I feed kids who possibly don't even eat at home some days. I do work I am proud of.

However, I can only work around 25 hours a week without risking losing my insurance as a disabled person. My job does not have longer hour positions available, and I am too disabled to work more than this without ruining my body like I have done in the past.

I have been going without buying groceries out of fear that what little money I have in my account will be needed in an emergency. I will be out of work for a week this month, around Thanksgiving, and during Xmas break- unpaid due to me working in a school. Me being out also means no guaranteed meal every day.

Kris works in a factory. He is currently working 55+ hours a week to make what we can to pay off the bills and keep our house. He only has one and a half knees that hurt all the damn time and is barely eating either just to afford everything. His factory keeps calling for sudden shutdown weeks with little notice at the worst times, and he's the main breadwinner in the house for us.

The other two in our household, one is severely disabled and can barely work 10 hr/week (he is waiting on hearing back to receive SSI) on top of having multiple medical appointments a week to figure out what is wrong with his body and why it keeps failing. The other is a freelance artist who is working her butt off to make money while carting the previous to appointments nearly every day. She is full up on commissions at the moment, but when she opens them I'll reblog her posts.

I really didn't want to make this post. I hate asking for help. But we are drowning and there's no sign of land. None of us can afford to live on our own, nor can we move back in with our parents for various reasons.

All I'm asking for is some help. I don't care how much. Five dollars is five dollars. Five dollars is half an hour less we have to kill ourselves to make ends meet.

Even if we don't make the full amount, every dollar will help us get a bit closer to paying this stuff down so we can afford gas and regular grocery trips again instead of having to save up to go once a month like we are currently doing.

Our goal is 2000 dollars.

Yes, this is the high amount. I do not believe we will ever reach it. I can hope we can raise this much at some point.

But for now that's the dream number.

It's the number that is looming over our heads, telling us to pay up or lose our home.

It's not something we need this very moment, but just what we need in the next few months to be able to afford living without destroying our body or working three jobs/ridiculous hours.

We thank anyone who can spare a few bucks to help us, and if you can't afford it just pass this post along to someone who might be able to.

Please send as friend/family if you can, PayPal is threatening to withhold money sent as transactions now if you receive over a certain amount.

Israel is conducting massacres and mass arrests as it decimates northern Gaza. With journalists and social media activists increasingly targeted and detained, less and less footage is getting out of Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign. ⁣

⁣

Israel has killed at least 175 journalists since the start of its genocide. Now, it has labeled six Al Jazeera journalists as “terrorists,” which the network denied, calling Israel’s claims “fabricated accusations as a blatant attempt to silence the few remaining journalists in the region.” ⁣

⁣

The Committee to Protect Journalists said on X, “Israel has repeatedly made similar unproven claims without producing credible evidence.” ⁣

⁣

As it silences journalists, Israel has leveled over 10 residential buildings in Jabalia and stormed the north’s only remaining hospital, threatening the lives of about 200 patients trapped inside and conducting mass arrests. ⁣

⁣

One of the journalists targeted by Israel, Anas al-Sharif, wrote, “North Gaza is being wiped out.” ⁣

⁣

Journalist Bisan Owda reacted to the attacks in Jabalia, saying: “No civil defense to grab the people from under the rubble. Nothing. Even journalists. No one to cover this massacre ... the world is complicit in this, is silent on this.” ⁣

Help Allister the Cat

If you don't know me, my sweet little man Allister is 11 years old and he's been dealing with some severe constipation. He was taken to the vet last week to help evacuate his bowels, but he quickly became constipated again shortly thereafter, and last night I witnessed him struggling to produce urine, meaning the constipation is putting too much pressure on his bladder, and his bladder being full is much more dangerous than the constipation. I was given laxatives and medicine to help lubricate his colon, but he hasn't responded to treatment since returning home from the vet and, this morning, he didn't want to eat his food,which is the first time he's shown any loss of appetite this entire event

This fund is to help pay for the examination and x-rays that will be mandatory to check Allister's health and potentially determine if it is time for him to be humanely euthanized, as he is too old for certain procedures and surgeries that would be able to save him, but if the veterinarians think his body can take some more fluids and potentially more enemas, if they think this is just a weird case of constipation and he is otherwise healthy, then I'm going to fight to try and help him. However, it is most likely that he will need to be put down, and unfortunately I have already taken money out of my rent for the last visit. I need some help affording euthanasia so that he isn't in pain if his condition doesn't improve

You can find my venmo to help us out over here, and if you can't donate, helping spread the word is almost as good. This little furry friend is my family, and we've gone through everything from his birth to being homeless together. I want to be able to at least try and see what I can to help him after all the years we've spent together

Hey guys! I've got good news and I've got bad news and I need your help!

So I wound up suddenly moving out of my abusive home, which is great! But unfortunately I have to manage my money real tightly and in the excitement of moving, Allister has become dangerously constipated and needs emergency vet care. Between my move and my job, I was running all over the place, and kept forgetting he was having bathroom problems, keep forgetting to buy him a laxative, and medicine for him was with my mom and she, was being difficult and hard to reach, so what has been a preventable treatable problem has now become an emergency, albeit an easily fixable one as long as I get to the vet in time, which I'm going today since he is older and we are reaching a critical window

I have to either choose between taking him to the vet and paying my November rent, but with the emergency vet having payment plans and it still being the middle of the month, I think I can squeeze it if I have a little help! I got a recent raise at my job, I'm maxing 40 hours every week, and I'm trying to look into a second job (although i would have to walk home and my area is... rough), and I can even open commissions if absolutely necessary down the line (although right now is an emergency! And also my laptop is um not working very well tbh so even commissions are a little difficult right now unless i use my phone...)

Anyways, I think I have all the money I need to take him to the vet today, but it's going to leave me short on rent by several hundred dollars, especially since I'm also paying utilities now. I know I haven't written anything solid in a while but at this point like you could donate and make a general request maybe, idk, you can DM me for more details

Allister is 11, so I know he's getting up there, but he's my best friend. I've had him since birth. I love him so much. He's all I have right now in terms of physical company and I can't lose him when I'm going through such an important transition in my life

My kofi is here if you're able to donate, and please help boost if you feel comfortable! These are unusual circumstance with me having moved into my own apartment for the very first time, and I guess I've just had too much on my plate. I would really appreciate any help or support or words of encouragement anyone can give, and keep your fingers crossed for Allister!

(I moved phone storage recently and don't have any good photos of him besides this, but listen to his happy purrs. Look at my handsome happy little man 🥺❤️)

I want you to imagine yourself, fifty years from now, sitting with your grandchildren. Imagine them asking you “what did you do during the Gazan Genocide?” What will you say? Will you say “I did nothing?” Will you say “I did what I could?” By donating to this fundraiser, you will be able to say “I saved a man from cancer.” I’m sure many of you have seen the fundraiser for @mohiy-gaza2 . What you might not know is that Mohiy himself is very sick. He told me himself that he recently had an MRI to diagnose a tumor in his pancreas, and now needs surgery to remove his spleen. Dealing with these illnesses is difficult enough for those of us lucky enough to live in peaceful countries; in a warzone Mohiy’s task is nothing short of horrific. I know pancreatic cancer is a difficult disease, but with our help, I believe Mohiy can beat it.

I know there are other fundraisers on your dash. I’m sure your bank accounts are already low from the donations you’ve already made. All I can do is beg you, from the bottom of my heart: help Mohiy and his family. I’ve already donated; please find it in your heart to donate whatever you can. To quote Mohiy himself:

Thank you for reading this. I know Mohiy and his family are grateful for anything you can give.
