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. 🙏🕊

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

"You can't force characters to do things that they don't want to do. And when you do that, you end up with a lousy story. Characters are not chess pieces. You cannot move them wherever you want to because that's what you feel like doing today. If you're writing properly in my opinion, your characters become like your friends. I tell students all the time as a learning exercise; write a story about your best friend. You'll find it so easy to write because you know that person so well. 'He's going to behave like this, she's going to react like that.' and the book writes itself at that point. Now your characters should be your best friends. But when you take a character and make them do something that's entirely against their nature, you wind up with a story that people will not buy into. Because they know it doesn't make sense. They know its false, they know you are forcing a character to do something that is NOT something they would do. I once wrote a book and had to delete 45 pages because I had made the character do something that he didn't want to do. And from then on he wasn't cooperating with the book anymore. I couldn't predict his behavior because I had already made him do something that was out of character. The hardest part of writing is like pushing a sled up a hill because you're just getting to know your characters who they are and what they care about, but once you know that you're at the top of the hill and they'll just sleigh right down. Because then they'll tell you the story and you just type it up." - Greg Farshtey aka the author of the many Lego's Bionicle books.

take figures out of their boxes btw. sew patches on your favorite jacket. go to bed with your favorite plushes. wear the pants you usually save for special occasions. draw something cool on your wall. put a sticker on your laptop. dye your hair and pierce your lips. glass is meant to break, metal is meant to rust. items are meant to be used. that's how the world knows that somebody loved them.
