VERIFIED AND VETTED FUNDRISING APPEAL

DONT SCROLL, YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO ASK FOR DONATIONS UNTIL ASKING FOR DONATIONS IS THE ONLY OPTION.

Stand with Palestine, Kindly Read Share and Donate

Hello, I am Purity Abdalla 32year old woman living in Gaza tents, I have two children, and I hope you know the current situation very well in Gaza. I have lived with type 2 diabetes since my early childhood age, but I have been managing the condition.

My condition worsened when I couldn't access insulin because of the protracted conflict in my war-torn homeland. I desperately need insulin (Humalog) injection and seek for medical attention which I have not had access to for the last one month, although I am a pregnant woman with type 2 diabetes, and I require a delicate insulin balance.

I feel like I am fighting for my life every single day. I am afraid if I don't receive insulin injection and medical attention i might go to coma and I don't know the state i will leave my young kids. A times I feel like there is no one in the entire world who can help me, but again I feel there are generous people who can come through for me.Anyway I have faced the cruel part of the world and hope well-wishers can come through for me.

I have opted for a fundraising appeal to help purchase insulin, go for medical checkup to ensure safety of my unborn child and for my life wellbeing Any amount will be much appreciated, and it may save my life from going to coma.

Another thing very interesting thing about the people who refuse to look at the videos showing what’s really happening in 🍉 is that they say “the videos are just so hard to look at” & “omg it’s too hard to watch!” OK BET haven’t you sat through those very in-detail crime documentaries??? What about gory horror films?? You’re telling me you can watch films like Infinity Pool & Saw & The Exorcist not only on a tv in your home but even on a GIANT movie theater screen, yet the videos of innocent Palestinians you see on you little phone (free C ongo btw!) calling for a ceasefire is too much for you??? Very telling just saying…

Supernatural 14x13 Lebanon Musings; Dean’s Heart’s Desire

Okay, so I’ve been re-watching Supernatural and it’s kind of nice.

And it’s weird because when I first started watching it I was like 12 and I thought Sam and Dean were both these really cool dudes who were ladies men and were mostly having the time of their life.

And I have a totally different viewpoint now. I mean, I still think they’re badass.

But they’re not playboys kicking ass and taking names. They both had a traumatizing childhood and clearly wanted families and normal lives. To recreate for themselves what they had lost. 

In Sam’s case what he’d never known because he was too young. Hell, Sam was well on his way to achieving that before Jessica died.

And for Dean what he has quite literally wanted ever since he lost it at 4 years old. Old enough to remember what a real, happy family was like. Like a phantom limb he could still feel. And trying to make that dream come true in the present since he couldn’t go back and undo the past he literally sought out a wife and child the moment he didn’t feel like he had to follow unwritten orders from his dad.

I love then that the show rounds out with Dean raising a child with his brother and a male angel who’s in love with him. 

Love by the way that Dean’s dad specifically expresses that Castiel is a male angel. He could have just said angel but he didn’t. 

Because Dean gets that family he’s always wanted but it looks different than I feel like even he thought it would look.

I don’t remember what my favorite episode was originally and I haven’t seen all the seasons completely yet. I think I stopped somewhere around season 11 and then saw episodes here and there.

But from my recent re-watch my favorite is season 14′s Lebanon.

I just love how that episode makes everything come full-circle specifically for Dean.

We really get a “Dean living his heart’s desire” feel from it.

From his parents reuniting and him not being able to take his eyes off them as they do so. To the family dinner. All of which he’s desperately wanted but was a wish he never in his wildest dreams thought could come true.

It also has two other things I really love about it. The subtle queer love story in the background between two girls. 

And Dean telling his father and brother two very important things in my opinion. 

The first is directed at his dad when his dad pulls him aside and asks him why he never settled down and had a family and he tells his dad he has a family. Someone pointed out that it’s interesting that John solely asked Dean and not Sam this question and that it’s possible John knows he’s queer and it’s a commentary on that. He tells his father he does have a family with Sam and Cas and Jack. 

The second thing is when Dean tells his brother that he’s good with who he is. He knows who he is and he’s good with it and pretty much wouldn’t change a thing. I love this for Dean, because Dean has always struggled with self-love and self-acceptance and so this is a nice little moment that shows he’s come a long way in that.

And the queer love story that takes place between two girls is a lovely choice but I believe also imperative to Dean’s story if we consider the episode to really encompass Dean’s heart’s desire. Because the love story is hidden in plain sight. And directly relates to Dean given that it starts with half of the queer couple-to-be stealing Dean’s car to impress her girl crush. 

It’s also, the way it’s done, it briefly becomes the main story when the girl steals Deans car and then continues on in the background through intimate looks and touches between the girls. All hidden in plain sight. 

It just underlines that a love story doesn’t have to be in your face the way the love story between Dean’s parents is in order for it to be valid. 

Also, I’ve recently seen the episode where Dean goes on a road trip with Jack and it’s just a nice parallel between Dean trying to help raise a kid he doesn’t understand and John trying to raise his boys.

You have Dean, who is terrified of snakes, yet still trying to be understanding of Jacks’ interest in keeping one as a pet. And trying to understand all of Jack’s quirks and being quietly supportive even when he doesn’t understand. It’s just such a healthy difference in parenting tactics, between John and Dean but also between Dean and his younger self.

I say this because a lot can be derived from who Sam and Dean are as people. There’s just a lot of toxic masculinity wrapped up in their behavior. Where they’re all about being manly men even when they’re not. And teasing each other if they don’t fit the stereotype. All of which leads to gay/acting like a girl jokes/digs and teasing each other for the things they like or are afraid of and doesn’t really inspire authenticity (being yourself and being okay with being yourself). 

And I believe this all stems from how their father raised them but also from the balancing act of a too young Dean, a self-conscious tween and teen, trying to please his father and maintain the image of being the man he wanted him to be, embody a weapon shaped by his father to protect his brother and the rest of the world, an alpha male and an actual present father to Sam.

And don’t get me wrong. The boys love each other. They’d both die and kill for each other and have. They’re fantastic at the grand gestures. But not always great at the day to day.  They very clearly don’t understand each other well and in the beginning especially Dean is loathe to talk about his feelings or listen to/talk about Sam’s. Something that even in his relationship with Cas becomes an issue. They (Sam and Dean) don’t do deep conversation well or don’t want to do it at all.

And so even if one of the boys was some type of queer, I don’t see it being in the forefront. Simply because of how they were clearly raised based on how they interact with each other. And this macho image Dean especially projected initially didn’t leave much room for anything else. Especially not for Dean possibly being queer. Having to be on high alert, tough and brave and often deadly all the time, would never have been able to exist alongside Dean being queer.

So while I think the creators of the show didn't queerbait, they in fact made it very obvious that Cas was into Dean and Dean was into Cas while they also clearly loved each other, it was easy for it to fly under the radar and for them to keep it there given the world of toxic masculinity the boys lived in.

Now, if they had been raised by their mother I think things might have been different. Maybe. Or hell, even if they were solely raised by Bobby.

This also makes me love that Dean’s story doesn’t end on earth. He really ends up embodying the “There’ll be peace when you are done” part of the song. Because on earth he somehow always finds his way back to hunting and unlike with Sam you don’t get the impression that Dean would marry hunting with having a family and true happiness on earth.

But also, the last time we physically see Cas he pretty much offers Dean happiness with him while also letting him know that they can’t have it on earth. What Dean does get is the promise of a happy ending with Cas, if he wants it. I say the promise of a happy ending because from previous story lines we also know that leaving the empty isn’t impossible. And these boys have repeatedly done the impossible.

And then Dean arrives in heaven and Bobby very meaningfully tells him that Jack (God) and Cas rebuilt heaven. The raise of Bobby’s eyebrows as he tells Dean this and Dean’s answering smile tells me that it isn’t a stretch to believe that Cas is in heaven and waiting for him. Bobby very helpfully also tells him that it’s a big new world out there and that this heaven is the heaven Dean deserves. It just makes me think of that song God Help the Outcasts and the line “Show them the mercy they don’t find on earth”. All of which tells me that if Cas is part of Dean’s heart’s desire he can have it. It is up to him.
