A Christmas Wish from GazaVetted by: 1) gazavetters verified on the list is (#89 ) 2) a-shade-of-blue Here, Here and Here 3) 90-ghost Here and Here 4) dlxxv-vetted-donations Here

Dear Friend,

This Christmas, while homes around the world shine with joy and togetherness, my family sits in the cold shadows of a life shattered by war. My name is Ghazi Al Amoudi, and this year, my wish is simple—to give my family a glimpse of hope in the midst of despair.

The war has stripped us of everything we once cherished—our home, our safety, and the small comforts that make life bearable. Each night, I hold my family close, whispering promises of brighter days, even as the uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

But I can’t keep those promises alone.

This Christmas, you can be our miracle.

A small gift from you could mean food on our table.

Your kindness could bring warmth to our freezing nights.

Your compassion could remind us that, even now, we are not forgotten.

🌟 Here’s how you can help: https://gofund.me/8a2c70d7

This season of giving is a chance to create real, lasting change. Whether through a donation or by sharing our story, you can be the light that leads us out of the darkness.

As you gather with your loved ones this Christmas, please take a moment to think of families like mine, who long not for presents but for the gift of safety, warmth, and hope.

Thank you for being the hope we so desperately need. Wishing you and your family a Christmas filled with blessings, love, and light.

With endless gratitude, Ghazi Al Amoudi

okay so i work in the deli of a grocery store, yeah? and today i got this guy who came up with his two twin children, around five years old. he walks up to the counter, carrying one kid in each arm, and loudly goes "oh, no, i forgot what i wanted!" and turns to the boy in his left arm and, in a perfect blues clues style voice, goes "caleb, do you remember what i wanted?" and the boy goes "half pound of yellow cheese!"

i, obviously, say "you've got it little sir!" and slice up half a pound of yellow american cheese, handing it to the little boy, who looks it over, nods, and tucks it in his lap.

then the man goes "well, we can't just have cheese on our sandwiches. but what else can we put on there?" and the little gurl in his other arm goes "half pound of ham!" so i nod and say "yes ma'am! what kind?" and she points at a random cut of turkey, so her father nods and says "like she said, honey ham!" i cut half a pound of honey ham, hand it to the little lady, she looks it over, nods and puts it in her lap.

then the man goes "now, what should we have for the side?" and the kids both simultaneously start cheering "macking cheese!!!" and the man spins on his heel and marches off, presumably to find the macking cheese.

later, the little boy comes wandering back to the counter while his father looks on and loudly and proudly proclaims that he wants to know where the mustard is. i point him to the correct aisle, he nods, says "thank you mister deli woman" and walks away.

Hello 👋

I’m Yahya from northern Gaza, and I have 3 children. We are displaced, living in tents, and I have no source of income. My children need to live like other children around the world, in peace and with a safe life away from wars.

‎‏My son has developed a skin disease, and there is no medicine available for him. It’s been a year without any income, and my hope lies in your support to improve my children’s situation. Your help can change our lives for the better and give us a stable life.🙏😭🍉

I love in cow magazines when they talk about top prices and impressive genetics and whatnot and it’s all such cool dude powerful language but then the photo of the animal is just on no level matching the vibe of the spiel, like

He doesn’t know he’s worth $150,000 AUD. He doesn’t know he broke an Australian record. He’s just a guy.

finally made a little zine from all the photos i took of various wires and machines and pylons and etc

this was sooo fun i need to get it printed

🛑You could be the reason for saving a family member

In short, I am Tamer from Gaza, one of a family of 23.🇵🇸🍉

I lost most of my family members during the genocide that has been going on for over a year. We have suffered from hunger, displacement and siege for months.❗️❗️

We have been deprived of our right to education, security, to live in peace and freedom, and we have been deprived of our right to treatment.

We have lost all our property and homes in northern Gaza and we cannot afford to lose more.

With a heavy heart, I ask you to help me spread my campaign. She is still very weak, what I am asking is too much.

Can you write a post about my story and share it with your friends? I am in dire need of your support. The rest of my family members were injured in the bombing and are in critical condition. They need to travel for treatment.

I need your support.

You are my only hope for survival.

I really cannot emphasize enough the mental health benefits of abandoning the idea that you're special.

[mossumbrella]

Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one's current state of existence. There's a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of "may or may not be alive or aleady dead", "may or may not have even been born yet", and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.

The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the "is yet to be born" pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the "wait what did you just say?" reactions.

Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies' man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he's planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.

A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with "may or may not be already dead" until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like "ma stop telling people I'm dead" and having her respond with "well how could I possibly know that when you don't even write to us? >:,C"

"Ok, ma'am that'll be 226.03$."

I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

I just realized that apparently I never shared this series here on Tumblr??  

I call it Living Paintings, as they are recreations of extinct animals that some artists actually saw and painted from memory, a long time ago.
