Imagine if education were forbidden for everyone, healthcare denied, and homes just distant dreams...

Imagine that travel, visits, outings, play, and the simplest moments of joy became forbidden…

What would life feel like then⁉️

To all with heart, Please don’t skip‼️

Please take a moment to consider the reality my family and I face daily ‼️

We are now in the second year of this devastating war, where every moment is a fight for survival. The essentials of life security, education, and healthcare have slipped through our fingers, leaving us in a state of despair.

It's only gonna get harder now that UNRWA has been banned in the Settler state. Let's fight this battle together!

We live in a makeshift tent, vulnerable to the elements. The relentless rains flood our home, and the biting cold seeps into our bones. Illnesses are rampant, and we feel helpless against the threats that surround us. Every day is a battle to provide for our children; basic needs like milk, diapers, and food have become unattainable luxuries. The weight of hopelessness hangs heavily on our hearts, and our dreams for a brighter future seem to fade with each passing day. We are in urgent need of help to navigate this crisis and to bring a glimmer of comfort and stability to our family's life amidst the chaos.

To me, what is so fantastic about One Piece Fan Letter is the emphasis on the way the Straw Hats have created these connections in the lives of people they have never met. The ending scene, with all the hands putting together the puzzle pieces, and the way that all these connections came together in one dazzling way-- I loved that. I teared up at that. Wherever the Straw Hats go, they leave behind all of these puzzle pieces for people to put together and create bonds that would not have existed had the Straw Hats not shown up!

And it also just... Makes me so in love with the concept of the world after Luffy becomes King of The Pirates. I know that Oda has the final chapter planned in his head, and I doubt we will really see the long lasting effects of Luffy achieving the title of Pirate King + his dream, and I really do not want a sequel series ala Boruto or Yasahime, but.... I want to see a world in which children believe they can become a Brave Warrior of the Sea thanks to Usopp, I want to see more children look at Nami and realize they don't NEED to have a Devil Fruit or Haki or muscles to have adventures. I want to see the next generation of the One Piece world believe so strongly in their dreams, that they set out to accomplish them.

One Piece Fan Letter really opened the door, I think, for more and more stories about the "regular" people in the world of One Piece, the people you don't see in the arcs because they're the nondescript background characters, and how the Straw Hat Crew has changed them. And I want that. To me, that is fantastic.

Layan Albaz is one of thousands of Palestinian children who had lost limbs in Israeli air strikes since October 7—and one of the very few evacuated to the U.S. for medical care. 

The new Atavist story, COMING TO AMERICA, is now live, and also available in Arabic:

The average U.S. public school has about 550 students. Imagine eight or nine schools in an area roughly the size of Philadelphia where every kid is missing at least one limb. Imagine also that their amputations happened alongside a torrent of other tragedies: the loss of family members, friends, neighbors, schools, houses.

Now imagine that the only hope to reclaim some semblance of physical normalcy required those children to leave home. Gaza’s sole manufacturer of prosthetics and its affiliated rehabilitation center were destroyed in an air strike months ago; as a result, many families of children who have lost limbs are trying to evacuate them so they can receive medical care abroad. Social media is brimming with their desperate pleas, and only a few get what amounts to a lucky ticket for the mortally unlucky: Countries willing to take pediatric amputees from Gaza are doing so in relatively small numbers.

The kids who do find a way out board planes for distant places. In Layan’s case, that place was more than 6,000 miles away from everything and everyone she knew.

Winter here is not just a season, but another battle added to our lives. 🥶⁉️

View on Twitter

Our children sleep on cold, wet ground, without blankets to warm them, and no walls to protect them. Their voices mix with the sound of the wind, a silent cry asking for help.

The cold, water, and hunger are killing them, and the numbers speak of the scale of suffering. We are not numbers, we are human beings, with a right to live. In Gaza, the dreams of our children drown in the floodwaters that have swept through our fragile tents. Their clothes, their food, even their few toys are not spared from the flooding. The fierce winds nearly tear our tents from their roots, leaving small bodies shivering from the cold, and small hearts wondering: why must we suffer all this?

Will you allow this innocence to be lost in this hell⁉️

The children of Gaza deserve more than just survival; they deserve life. Save our children, stop the war, we are not numbers.

In November, Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, uploaded on its official X page a video of Israeli children singing a song celebrating their country’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The broadcaster deleted the video clip after a huge online backlash. Even after the video was silently erased from social media, however, the song remained a subject of discussion and controversy. Many across the world were shocked to see children sing happily about “eliminating” an entire people “within one year”. Yet a closer look at Israeli literature and curricula shows this open celebration of genocide was the only natural outcome of Israel’s persistent indoctrination – or brainwashing to be more blunt – of its children to ensure that they do not view Palestinians as human and fully embrace apartheid and occupation. There is myriad evidence of Israel’s brainwashing of its citizens to erase the humanity of Palestinians spanning many decades. Israeli scholar Adir Cohen, for example, analysed for his book titled “An Ugly Face in the Mirror – National Stereotypes in Hebrew Children’s Literature” some 1700 Hebrew-language children’s books published in Israel between 1967 and 1985, and found that a whopping 520 of them contained humiliating, negative descriptions of the Palestinians. He revealed that 66 percent of these 520 books refer to Arabs as violent; 52 percent as evil; 37 percent as liars; 31 percent as greedy; 28 percent as two-faced and 27 percent as traitors.

Just a bit more about my HC for this lil' guy

[straightlightyagami]

frankly not a fan of how therapyspeak and the internet pathologize any relationship (of any type) that is less than perfect. how any solution that is not “immediately break off contact without offering an explanation” (which in some cases may be valid and actually the safest decision! not saying it can’t be) is in itself treated as pathological behavior.

like you have people thinking having to put any effort or having any conflict or experiencing any hardship means it’s toxic. and if it’s toxic it means it’s abusive where one person is the Abused and one is the Abuser (and obviously the person who is asking the question is always the victim), always completely knowingly and intentionally, and all types of abuse are equally bad and equally render the responsible individual completely irredeemable.

Israel Uses Palestinians As Human Shileds, Not HAMAS

Dad, despite your sadness and pain... I know you are fighting for me, for my sisters Zeina and Eileen, and my brother Yamen.I haven't seen the world yet, but you are my entire world.I hear your whispers to me every night: 'You are everything to me, Ronza.'I feel your love, battling a war with no end in sight.

If this war takes us away from you, you will be left with only memories, and nothing else.

Here I am... reaching out my tiny hand to you and saying:"Be strong, Dad. We will get through this together."

Please help my father get me and my siblings out of these massacres in Gaza.

I deserve to live, and my father deserves the chance to give me that hope.

‼️🚨BREAKING: Zionist settlers attack humanitarian aid trucks again

Zionist settlers attack humanitarian aid trucks again and destroy the packages of rice and flour that were going to be distributed among the hungry population of the Gaza Strip.

Gaza is suffering the greatest famine of this century and this is what the supremacists of "Israel" are dedicated to.

MXTX protagonists ranked by how bad their mommy/daddy issues are

Luo Binghe: absolutely nuclear level of mommy/daddy issues. this is the consequence of giving your protagonist two deadbeat dads and two dead moms, and then letting him project all those issues onto his overly indulgent teacher

Wei Wuxian: he could've had perfectly normal orphan levels of parent trauma, but what's that?? IT'S THE JIANG PARENTS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!! the combo of fear and respect he had for Yu Ziyuan is already bad enough, but then there's also the feeling of responsibility for the Jiang siblings that they put on him, which then leads to, you know, all the Yunmeng sibling problems

Lan Wangji: this dude is so haunted by his father potentially kidnapping his mother and then locking her up and putting himself in seclusion, and this significantly shapes his relationship with Wei Wuxian. plus he took his mother's death really, really badly :(

Shen Qingqiu: he like never mentions his parents?? which is weird, but at least he's not haunted by it. however, he gets the special privilege of being the person exacerbating someone else's mommy/daddy issues. he brought this on himself. he doesn't get to walk out of a confession involving a metaphor where he'd be pregnant with his partner and act like that's normal

Xie Lian: he definitely has trauma surrounding his parents for sure, but they don't seem to have manifested as specifically mommy/daddy issues? it's just, you know. normal grief. honestly, there's so much shit going on with his trauma and baggage that he can't be defined by this one thing

Hua Cheng: does not seem to care about his parents?? at all???? he's presumably an orphan and they're probably the origin of his self worth issues, but like. in the grand scheme of things, they do not seem to be that big of a concern for him. who needs mommy issues when you have devotion to dianxia i guess
