it's true and you should say it.

[staphyreads]

this is my new theme, I love it so much and it's just exactly what I wanted!

credits: @ebrothemes

theme two: airlock by ebrothemes

live previews: (one) (two) / install: (github)

this theme was designed around wanting a simple theme with only 2 colors and options for a couple photos in the sidebars, that also supports photosets with a carousel lightbox (ideal for gifsets) and has a night mode toggle. i'm really happy with it, and it definitely works a lot better than my past themes/pages. it should work well for both text-heavy and photo-heavy blogs.

features:

responsive

NPF post support

day/night mode toggle

2 custom colors (day/night mode colors can be different)

540px posts (option for 400px, 450px, and 500px, but it was designed at and works best with 540px)

custom text like and reblog buttons

optional photo in right sidebar

8 body font options with even more customization options for font size and heading fonts

up to 4 custom links

carousel lightbox for photosets

credits in the code as well as here

Dear Supporter,

I hope this message finds you and your family in good health. My name is Eman Zaqout from Gaza. I am reaching you out to seek your urgent help in spreading the word about our fundraiser. I lost both my home and my job due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and we are facing catastrophic living conditions. 💔

I kindly ask you to visit my campaign. Your support, whether through donating or sharing, will help us reach more people who can make a difference. Thank you for your continued support for the Palestinian cause. Your dedication brings us closer to freedom. 🙏🕊

Romantics always believe in revenge, because romantics love harder, suffer loss more painfully, and hold onto a grudge that has shattered their heart - Lana Myers, The Mindf*ck Series

Shout out to people whose favorite book (or series) is one that doesn't have a fandom. People who found a random book somewhere and it changed your life and you love the characters and the story and the world but by nature of the sheer number of books that get published all the time forever, no one seems to have heard of it. Shout out to those who don't have fanart or fics or even people to talk to for their favorite book. I see you and I love you and huge mood someone else please read this so I can scream about it with you

So my research methods will actually be: interviewing those close to the case, obsessive social media stalking, and wild, WILD speculation.

Misaki had always pictured herself having daughters. She had enjoyed the vague fantasy of raising powerful, forward-thinking young women with the courage to amount to more than their mother, but it was just that: a fantasy.
