Wazifa to Bring Wife Back Home

As-Salaam-Alaikum, my brother and sister today talk about Wazifa to bring wife back home. Marriage is one of the most beautiful experiences of life. I think we can all agree with it. That’s why it begins with a glorious celebration to set the tone right for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, sometimes people are not careful enough to respect the other individual and do their best to make the…

Please send your love and support to Amal Ashour @amalashuor, and her daughter Maryam, who is merely one year and 9 months old. Half of Maryam's life has been spent enduring this genocide in Gaza.

Amal and her family have lost their home, and been displaced multiple times due to bombing. Currently Amal is doing her best to care for her daughter, and to save money in order to evacuate herself, her husband, and her daughter from Gaza.

Right now, Amal desperately needs money in order to feed her family, buy diapers and milk for her daughter, and pay rent for where her family is staying. Maryam is at risk of serious malnutrition unless Amal can get baby food and milk for her. Amal does not have any income other than this fundraiser right now, as she is unable to work due to the ongoing genocide. She needs ~$5,000 dollars just to survive each month, and even more to evacuate.

€38,263 / €50,000

The good news is that Amal is more than halfway to her goal of €50,000, and you can help get her there! As of writing this, Amal still needs €11,737 to reach her goal. Donations have been slow, but you can change that! With your help donating and sharing Amal's campaign, she can reach her goal, care for her family, and hopefully evacuate to safety soon.

Amal's campaign is #175 on the vetted campaigns list by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi.

[neil-gaiman]

Hey Neil! So I'm trying to get one of my good friends back into reading again and sent him a short story from the Uncanny Magazine website (Seasons of Glass and Iron by Amal El-Mohtar is amazing!!) He told me he was suspicious of it, because why would a popular author put their work online for free? I wondered the same thing- do reading communities prioritize access to knowledge more, or is it something else? Since you've written short stories for many magazines, I was wondering if you could give me your take on it?

Thanks, and have a lovely day!

We do it for lots of reasons. The best way to sell someone a book or magazine is to let them know that they'd like it, after all. Your friend is probably also suspicious of the kinds of supermarkets that hand out free cookies or cheese...

what does mitch look like? like does she have a face claim?! and vito?? (i couldn’t tell which one was which in imola)

ok so here we go! - thank you to whoever asked for this!!

this was a tag worthy post I believe :)

face claim - Amal Clooney

Meet Michelle "Mitch" Walker - Y/n L/n's race engineer

She has been at Red Bull since 2020, but was an actual engineer for the cars. She graduated with a Masters in Engineering and interned under Adrian Newey. She is currently in her late-30's and not married.

She was a bit skeptical when she was told by Christian that she'd be a rookie's race engineer, but when she saw you and your times on the sim, she was hooked.

She can be seen wearing her favorite big sunnies during race weekends and carries her gray notebook everywhere she goes. As a part of a ritual, she always drinks an iced Americano before a race.

For future references, she stays Y/n L/n's race engineer until said racer retires. She will have served under two different team principals by the end of her carrier (but I'm not saying who the second is hehe).

no face claim - Italian, short beard, and a whole lot of love for Y/n

Meet Vito Accardi - Y/n L/n's manager

Vito had been a part of an organization of people who lend out unofficial managers to younger racers who don't already have one. He was assigned to Y/n L/n in 2018 when she first joined F4. He, like most people, thought that she had raw talent and he wanted to stay with her.

Fast forward to 2019 and F3, Vito was officially Y/n L/n's manager, hired by her godfather Lorenzo. He has no plans to leave anytime soon.

He has a Public Relations Degree along with degree in Business. On the side, he runs his own line of go karts. He has mentioned that he was only able to start it due to the kindness of Y/n and Lorenzo.

For further references, Vito stays with Y/n until her retirement. After that, he ends up being asked to be godfather of her second child. Of course he agrees and tears are shed.

face claim - Brendan Taggart

Meet Lorenzo "Enzo" Alessandrino - Y/n L/n's Godfather

Lorenzo had been Y/F/N L/n's best friend growing up after meeting at boarding school, but distanced himself after he saw how awful he truly was. Only came back into his life after the birth of Y/n. Surprisingly, he was named godfather and he took that to heart.

Being a major business man and influential figure in karting and Formula racing, he couldn't possibly be near the girl all the time. But after finding out what you had been going through, he wishes that he would have fought for custody. Maybe then you could have grown up with other kids such as Logan Sargeant, Oscar Piastri, Mick Schumacher, and Arthur Leclerc. But, he couldn't dwell on the past.

Everyone thought he was pretty poor as he didn't like to flaunt his wealth everywhere, but they were wrong. Pretty much one of the wealthiest persons the time of his death.

Gave Y/n L/n a second chance at karting and formula racing as he fought for sponsors to agree on the younger girl (most said no due to age and gender, but he never gave up).

Late in 2019, he caught pneumonia, which turned into a fatal respiratory tract infection. He died in early 2020 after falling into a coma. The only person to ever show up was Y/n L/n

What would you like to see more of [in speculative fiction] in the next 10 years?

Amal El-Mohtar: That’s such a good question, the next 10 years. You know, I’m aware that when I find myself wanting to answer this, I don’t want it to come from a place of nostalgia. And I’m aware of the fact that I’m at an age where some of the things that are delighting me, the most are things that revisit stuff from my childhood in, like, weird, interesting new ways. And I know that I’m at the age where I’m being marketed to by that specifically. So seeing Interview With the Vampire delights me. Seeing X-Men ’97 delights me. But I don’t want to be pandered to in that specific way in the next 10 years. I don’t know if this is too froofy an answer but I really want to be dazzled and surprised, you know? To me, wanting to see more queerness means not just box ticking categories of, like, how many chocolate box kinds of queer can we see in a book representation-wise. I’m really interested to see books that queer shit, like queer as a verb. Maybe that’s what I’d say, I want to see queer as a verb more in books. I wanna see genre boundaries blurred at the same time that I wanna see really unapologetic deep dives into genre furniture to be like, give me the most melodramatic shit. Give me, like, the most maximalist iteration of the genre that you want and stuff. I think I just wanna see a lot more unabashed… something that is activating and lovely. It also feels very selfish and inchoate to say I just wanna be dazzled. I wanna be charmed. I think she also wanna see just, like, more I would love to see more SF digestion of other modes of writing. How can I put this? I just I wish I want people to read outside of genre so that they can bring into genre things that are exciting in other places. I wanna see cross-pollination. I just wanna see people being dazzled and excited by other stuff and then, like, bringing it in and exchanging. That’s where I thrive, I find. That’s why people get mad at my column a lot because it’s like, ‘where’s the science fiction and where is the fantasy?’ And I’m like, it’s here, it just looks different. It just looks different than what you have read.

from Eighteen Authors, Two Big Questions: What Is the Best Thing Happening in SFF Right Now, and What Do We Need More Of?

[nkogneatho]

since everyone's exams are close, i want you to remember it's good to have academic validation. we are proud of you for working hard and chasing your dreams. however, don't forget that you are allowed mistakes. you are human and no matter what you do, your best is all you can give. there's nothing beyond that. it's good to challenge your capacity but it is also good to remember that you gave whatever you had. and if you're unmotivated to study and then stressing over why you are not studying, that's okay too. don't try to gulp all the syllabus in a day. try to break down on what's important and do that.

here are some tips that help me keep my sanity during exams and hope it helps -

Take a 8 hour sleep. Believe it or not, it increases your efficiency. And if you're thinking about taking a nap, take a nap for 1 hour and 30 minutes. less than that and you will risk constant headache.

Eat something for fuck's sake. If you keep your tummy happy, your brain will be happy to memorize stuff. Try eating a proper meal instead of amall snacks for a whole day. (the good idea is to meal prep a week before or make a one pan meal)

Before studying, close your eyes and meditate for 10 minutes. breathe in for 5 sceonds, hold for 2 seconds and then breathe out for another 5 seconds. If you tind it hard to focus, you can put on some forest music in the bg.

Don't completely abandon phones or laptops and stuff, if you feel like you are addicted. here's a trick. Most of the time we keep scrolling because we lose traction of time, but if you set a 10 minutes alarm, you will be reminded that it's time to get back to studying.

Last but not the least, don't deprive yourself of little moments of happiness just because exams are close. They are just exams. Yes for some people it's their everything but it doesn't define you. Take a walk in a garden or down the street. Meet up with friends. Cook your favorite meal if you have time. Do your skincare.

Remember that you will reach your highest good if you keep doing good things no matter what. Your success is inevitable. All the best for your exams. No matter the results, everyone loves you <33

[bigshoeswamp]

In the last few weeks, I've received many asks from Palestinians asking for support in their GoFundMe campaigns. I don't have much to spare, but I've managed to donate make a total donation of 15 dollars to them. Can you match my donation?

Here's a list of the people who have contacted me and some words from their campaigns' pages. Please take the time to read their stories and, if you can, please share and donate, even if it's a dollar!

Heba Al-Anqar (@heba-baker) - €4,503 - €60,000

Hello, I am Heba Al-Anqar, 21 years old, a university student. My university was suspended due to the war. I am writing about my family: my father Bakr (54 years old), my mother Alaa (46 years old), and my sisters Aya (18 years old), Amal (15 years old), Muhammad (13 years old), and Maryam (8 years old). We have faced many challenges in this war, from the destruction of our home to the famine we continue to suffer in northern Gaza.

Ahmed Altaban (@ahmed4palestine) - $18 309 USD/ $20 000

There are seven members of the family: Heba (the mother), Amjad (the father), their sons Ahmed, Khaled, Soliman, and Abdallah, their young daughter Lamar, and Ahmed (the grandfather). The siblings were all pursuing engineering, design, or completing grade school. Lamar in particular aspires to be a doctor some day.

Eman Zaqout (@rakan2010) - $25 669 CAD- $40 000

My name is Eman Zaqout, from Occupied Gaza, Palestine. I am contacting you at a really desperate and urgent moment. I am seeking your assistance to raise funds for saving our lives, facing the starvation in Gaza and help me achieve my doctoral degree dream after awarding prestigious PhD Fellowship. I'm a wife and mother of two little kids. My husband Mahmoud Zaqout 39 years old, my son Rakan 12 years old and my doughter Seba 10 years old. I am also an employee working in a medical field and at the same time a scientific researcher conducting different research inside and outside Gaza as well.

Mohi (@mohiy-gaza2) - $30,000 USD- $31,000

I am 23 years old. I live under the bombardment and constant aggression against Gaza. Here we struggle with a life of constant death and loss. I lost a large part of my family. We also lost our house in which we used to live. We were displaced more than 10 times from one place to another, searching for safety. In fact, there is no safe place. We had many ambitions and hopes. I graduated from university and intended to travel, work, and many other things. But the war came and destroyed all that. We also had a source of livelihood and clothing shops. The occupation completely destroyed and burned them all, and we no longer have any source of livelihood. (...) Therefore, I hope you can help, even if just a little, as this will help us get out of death."

Islam Al-Najjar (@islamgazaaccount3) - €2,150/ €30,000

My name is Islam Al-Najjar, a 27-year-old Palestinian from Gaza. My life was turned upside down when our home was destroyed, and I lost many loved ones and friends. Now, I find myself homeless, jobless, and struggling to survive. We lack basic needs such as food, water, and healthcare. Despite these hardships, we still hold onto hope, believing that your generous support can help us overcome these adversities. My grandfather is 85 years old. He lost his left hand due to a previous Israeli bombing and suffers greatly from this serious injury. We also suffer a lot in taking care of him due to the scarcity of basic resources like water and food, and their complete absence.

Ahmed (@ahmadresh) - $13,241 USD/ $31,000

Hello, my name is Ahmed, 19 years old from Gaza. I finished high school with a high average and a very good grade, and because of the genocide war on Gaza, I was deprived of enrolling in university. I had dreams and ambitions to study photographic design, but I was deprived of all of that because of the genocide war on Gaza. I was living the best days of my youth. But with the beginning of this war, I became unable to live my normal life. At least our warm house sheltered me and my family until it was bombed for the first time, that damned night. Our house has become like a ghost town. We continued to seek refuge from death there until we were besieged and displaced from our safety under fire to a tent (shelter) in the bitter cold of winter, with the lack of basic necessities of life (water pollution, high cost of living, disease, insect infestation, ‏malnutrition, ‏Difficulty of movement, overcrowding), and many other daily difficulties, especially with the significant increase in prices.

Haya (@hayanahed) - €86,967/ €100,000 target

I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies). I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.

Sara (@sara-97a) - €1,297/ €50,000 target

Before the war, 7 -year-old Sewar dreamed of becoming a doctor to treat people and alleviate their pain. Sewar is a kind, active, intelligent and diligent girl in her studies. Every day, Sewar and her two brothers, Abdul Aziz and Omar, begin a bitter journey to get water and food, collect firewood for cooking and help their father and mother secure the necessities of life. The lives of the three children, Sewar, Abdul Aziz and Omar, have been turned upside down. They were kind and innocent children who went to school every morning with enthusiasm. Please help us arrange the costs of food, water and medicine for the children and their sick grandmother.

Nisreen Suhail/Hazem Shawish (@nisreensuhail - vetted by association) - €7,869/ €50,000

I’m Hazem Shawish, trying to save my family from the war. We’re a family of 8 members, me, my mother, and I have 4 brothers and two sisters. And their kids. Islam (30) years old, Hashem (31), Samer (29), Mohammad (35), Nisreen (37), Noor (36), Amal (12), Kenzy (17), Zoheer (19) In the shadow of conflict, our family has faced unimaginable hardships. The passing of my father, a victim to the cruel grasp of hunger and inadequate healthcare, left a void in our lives, underscoring the fragility of our existence here. My brother, Samer, battles bipolar disorder, a condition exacerbated by the ongoing war and the severe shortage of essential medications. Without access to the necessary treatment, his life is at risk, and we live in constant fear for his well-being amidst the chaos that surrounds us. These personal tragedies have deepened the urgency of our situation.

Dr. Husam Farhat (shamfarhat1) - $8,590USD/ $29,500

Amidst the relentless bombardment, Dr. Farhat faced an unthinkable tragedy: the martyrdom of his beloved sisters, Inas and Amal, along with their husbands and children, and his brother Mustafa. This devastating loss shattered not only their dreams but also their hopes for a peaceful future. (...) Now, after all this devastation, my family and I are living as displaced people, homeless and jobless, with no clear future for ourselves or our children. Every day is a struggle to find food for my children, who have been robbed of every chance at a normal life by this war. Once, we lived in Shuja'iyya, in North Gaza, where we had a home, a life, and dreams. But now, after being displaced over nine times, we find ourselves in the refugee camps of Nuseirat, the war has stripped us of everything—our home, our security, and our future.

Dr. Mohammed Aldeeb (@mohammedaldeeb) - €41,065/ €55,000 target

I am Dr. Mohammed Aldeeb, a dedicated medical professional specializing in emergency care, hailing from the Gaza Strip, We are a family of 4 members. (...) In the chaos and carnage of conflict, I sustained injuries, and the sanctuary of my home was obliterated, leaving my family and me destitute and displaced. Yet, amid the ruins, a flicker of hope persists. At Al-Aqsa Hospital, I continue to extend a helping hand to those in need, drawing strength from the resilience instilled in me through years of education and service. Today, we find ourselves sheltering in a humble tent, stripped of our possessions and livelihoods. The loss of my job, my home, and the comforting presence of my loved ones weighs heavily on my heart. Nevertheless, I refuse to surrender to despair, clinging to the belief that brighter days lie ahead.

[phaedraismyusername]

Do you have any book recs for someone in a reading slump? I always had a book out from the library when I was at school, but fell out of the habit and want to get back into it!

Personally when I find myself in a slump I tend to go for short books and novellas to try and avoid that mid-book slog that can happen when I'm not feeling motivated lol

Some excellent fast reads for me were

- Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E Harrow it's only 33 pages and it is legitimately one of the best stories I've ever read lol

- This Is How You Lose The Time War by Max Gladstone and Amal El-Mohtar is less than 200 pages and has some of the most romantic language I've ever read if, like me, you live for the yearning lol

- Milk Blood Heat by Dantiel W Moniz is a collection of short stories that comes in around 200 pages and has some of my favourite contemporary lit fic stories I've ever read mostly surrounding the Black female experience in Florida. Just the range and quality of writing are just *perfect*

- The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo currently has 5 or 6 books around 120 pages each and are all excellent examples of Asian inspired high fantasy and are real love letters to storytelling in all its forms (the second one is my favourite though I love the tigers lol)

- Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells are a great choice if you like Sci-Fi, the first one All Systems Red is 150 pages and surprisingly funny and heartwarming considering the name lol. I think a couple of the books are full length novels but the first one at least definitely isn't

- or, if you're more of a horror girlie, Mapping the Interior by Stephen Graham Jones, Helpmeet by Naben Ruthnum, The Country Will Bring Us No Peace by Matthieu Simard, and Green Fuse Burning by Tiffany Morris are all dark weird little 100 page stories that I ate up in one sitting

Hopefully there's something on this list that appeals to you because slumps are so tough to be in and push through so I hope you you find something that helps soon 😩❤️

i can be slow to answer dms, i am a full-time student and i have a part-time job. i will try my best to answer/read asks but i receive a lot of them so please be patient with me and i apologize if some get lost.

i only reblog fundraiser posts that i have confirmed to be vetted/verified by a source that i trust. i am not equipped to be an official vetter. please use discretion and your best judgement when viewing my reblogs.

if you are a gazan, please know that you are loved and i am keeping you in my thoughts. i am sorry if i am slow to get to messages but i will try my best to respond appropriately. i care about every person who reaches out to me and i want you to know that.

can you make art for my gofundme campaign?

i would love to. please be aware that i have multiple people requesting art for me currently so i can’t guarantee it. art is a slow process for me and i want it to be the best it can be so that fundraisers can receive enough traction. i apologize if i can’t get to every request, but understand that i appreciate every single one.

can you make a post for my gofundme campaign?

see above. i can try, but it may take a while because i want your post to be the best it can be so that it gains more traction. information that makes the process MUCH easier is if i can find where you are verified and have a clear story to tell. i am sorry if i can’t get around to it. reblogging previously made posts is much easier for me so i’m happy to do that if you ask.

can you pin my fundraiser to your blog?

i will add it to this post.

do you take commissions?

as of right now, no, not officially.

can i tag you in a fundraiser post?

yes, absolutely.
