Psychopomp (n.)

A spiritual figure who conducts recently deceased souls to the afterlife. They act as a neutral yet protective figure, serving only to guide and not to pass judgement.

Often, psychopomps are regarded with a mix of fear and reverence, gratitude and dread, foreboding and respect.

Nico Di Angelo.

Psychopomp.

PS everyone should go listen to Abstract (Psychopomp) by Hozier. Very Solangelo I think

So many incredible quotes in this episode, but so many of them are also beautiful long monologues that require context!

We went to the Renaissance Festival last night and then stopped for dinner on our way home still dressed in our outfits and as I was waiting to order, this dad was like "I like your elf ears, my daughter has those same ones" and I was like "oh did you guys go to the Ren Faire today too?" and he said they went last week. And then a minute later the daughter, who was probably like...12(? I am so bad at guessing how old children are) came back from getting her drink and I looked up and she shyly waved at me and I waved back and then I remembered! I had a bag of trinkets! So I went over and asked her to pick a color and gave her one of the little leaf charms I had been handing out and she looked so happy and then I went back to stand in line and her mom came back to the table and she was like excitedly showing her the little leaf and her mom was like "that's so sweet thank you!" and like listen, no need to thank me, I am just trying to be the cool fantasy-looking lady with elf ears out in public that 12 year old Hailey would have been obsessed with. Every time I interact with a child, especially if they're like...middle school aged, I'm just trying to be the kind of person that I would have thought was so cool at that age.

I think when I tell ppl I post fandom content they don't expect it to be The Horny Doctor Who Spinoff, Famously Maligned Early 2000s Surrealist Island Show, and Comic Book Characters Are All Failsons but hey it's a living

[isa-ah]

sometimes I forget how bad my black outs used to be when specific other alters fronted but I just found an entire sketchbook cover to cover full of art and ocs I don't recognize in a style that's hardly mine from my last really really low point a number of years ago. wild. who's shit is this lol

How annoying that I’ve had to buy new scrubs and to just realize while putting on my good jeans that they’re too big too 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hello 👋

Please take a moment to read my story.

I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.

We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.

Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, but it too Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.

If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,

With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.

With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,

Heba Al-Dahdouh.

Genocide flattens every discussion. There are no new conversations to be had about the destruction, death and cruelty. After more than a year, there is nothing left to be said about various media houses, corporations and international bodies of law aiding and abetting all that has been happening in Gaza, either. It is the banality of evil, it is colonialism. However even in this atrociously banal circumstance, I do think what still is a continued point of hope for Gazans and what still pushes so many of them to reach out to the world, is the support people around the globe have shown and still continue to show. Which is why I am here on behalf of the Shehab family ( @fahedshehab-new ) and requesting  you to help them survive through this winter. This won't take much of your time so please read: 

Fahed is currently supporting 13 family members in total- his own family and that of his sister’s.

He has to look after 8 children now, with the youngest being his son Yayha who is barely having anything to eat because the price of baby milk  is exorbitantly high in Gaza. 

The genocide has taken a toll on Fahed’s daughters. Sahar and Dana spent a whole year under the threat of bombs and right now instead of getting to be teenagers, they ask their father if they will survive. They have even said they don't want to live if they lose someone. 

The family right now immediately needs clothes to keep them warm throughout winter. Fahed’s family is from the north and has been displaced several times before they came south. Displacement is dangerous and a silent killer because often essential items are lost and cannot be replaced in time. 

Please consider that the weather has already turned colder around the world and that which is only mildly uncomfortable to us, presents a dire situation for Gazans. The families don't have a shelter and there is no way for tents to adequately protect from cold winds and rain. So right now the immediate need is for warm clothes and it can cost upto $400 per person. With THIRTEEN PEOPLE to take care of Fahed immediately needs to raise at least 5k to buy the required apparels. So please boost and donate. 

Currently at $66,248. He needs to reach $71,248. Please help however you can.

Please remember that every donation, even if it is 5 dollars, is a ray of hope for the families who have lost everything.

Tagging for reach 🙏🏽

I know that the best thing I can do rn is focus on surviving and focus on my personal life/what I can control. I know that in order to do that, I should avoid the news or at least 90% of it. I know that the chances of things being as catastrophic as my brain thinks is not 100% certain.

I know this.

But I want to die. I'm so fucking scared man. Like we are doomed doomed it feels. Again I want to believe that good will prevail but God do I have little fucking hope.

It's hard to explain these fears in therapy bc I can't be like "Haha yeah this all makes me so scared that I have an Out plan in mind if it comes to a civil/world war"

Bc that would get me into the psych ward for "having an active plan"

Like I don't have a fucking timeline/date, but I like have had an Out plan in my mind since I was 13. Like... it's passive, but I do have a set plan yknow?

Anyway how do I not feel doomed? How do yall keep up the mental energy and sanity to keep going?
