🍉💚 follow @eslammsaidd 💚🍉

Today I learned that Gilmore Girls is one of Eslam’s favourite shows. Another thing we have in common! She’s a teenager in Gaza, I’m a 20-something in New Zealand; but despite the physical distance, and all the privileges I have grown up with that she has never known, she is like a sister to me. I’m reminded of my decade and a half of friendship with my beloved Alyssa @tilyoutryit who was (and still is, I’m just no longer a teenager 👵🏼) like a big sister to me, during my angsty teenage years. Alyssa and I finally met IRL after several years of talking online. I am so hopeful that I can meet Eslam one day, but it’s obviously a far more complicated situation. Even if the crossing were to open tomorrow, Eslam and her family would be unable to escape. Any money they have raised so far has been spent on rent, food, medicine and blankets, aka SURVIVAL.

Eslam’s family is safe from eviction for another month 🙏🏻 this is basically a miracle; but here I am asking for another one! Because they are forced to pay $2000/month in rent, this makes it impossible to save any money for evacuation fees. the cut-off age for ‘adult’ fees is 16. this means they need to raise almost $50,000 to pay the necessary evacuation fees. I have been talking to Eslam about making a tumblr, she loves photography and making videos, I think she would love this community, unfortunately her phone has been broken for weeks, which leaves her having to borrow her sisters phone, to share her campaign on Twitter/X, and talk to me and her other friends and family. Today she is going to try downloading the app on her sisters phone, and sharing her story with you beautiful people who support Palestine 🇵🇸

Please give her a follow❤️💚

Lol, the changing ring tone idéa 😆 Really made me laugh, it’s been so long since I thought about that! I think I’ve followed you for 12+ years or something now… makes me feel old 👵🏼 but at the same time really happy! Your stories and your Tumblr means so much to me 🩷 Still. Eva & The Heartmakers song Traces of You always reminded me of Quinn before they got together. I mean, I think Quinn liked that song when she pined for Rachel, maybe already in High School. When she hears it now it makes her smile, and a little embarressed. Thank you for making me smile for over a decade 🩷 You’re the best 🏆

Imagine how old I feel. 🤪

Thank you so much for following me for this long, even though things around here are a lot quieter than they used to be. This message definitely made me smile today.

Traces of You is another song that I was introduced to via this blog and the Faberry fandom, so you're definitely not the only one who saw it as a Quinn song. Unless...Song Rec Anon, is that you? ^_^

Absolutely no one asked for this, but I’m lying in bed bored instead of sleeping lol.

Ten Fun Tumblr Facts

1. Username Meaning:

No1IsLost came from the song No One Is Lost by Stars. I was super into them when this blog was created, and I still really like them. Give the song a listen to if you wanna feel like dancing!

AbsoluteGarbage also came from music. Growing up as a 90’s kid I listened to the band Garbage a lot. Absolute Garbage is the name of one of their albums.

2. Are you new or a Tumblr veteran?

😅. This blog in particular dates back to at least 2012, but I’ve had a tumblr since about 2010 or so. (I had a blogger before that haha!) 12 years, baby! 👵🏼 LOL This makes me sound old. I’m still considered a young adult, I swear!

4. Do you have any other Tumblrs?

…Yes. I actually have two others. One of them I only use when I’m really going through it and need a place to just write through my thoughts. The other one is fairly new and I use to post creative writing. I do like to write, though I’m not a fic writer. (I actually used to be casually YEARS ago back on ff.net. Those days are long gone thank goodness lol super cringe stuff). Now, I like to find creative writing prompts and write short stories. I’m not revealing the names of those two blogs though, sorry! 😅.

5. What are you currently listening to?

Do You Want Me Now by The Beths

6. What is the theme of your Tumblr?

Well, right now it currently is a big fat love letter to Natasha Romanoff, but it wasn’t always so Marvel focused. I like to reblog different video games and shows I’m into. Yes, this blog did go through a Glee phase at one point. We don’t talk about that lol. Cats and other animals, things that make me laugh, and art are some of the other things I reblog a lot.

7. How many followers do you have/how many do you follow?

Honestly, I don’t even know. This year I did a purge/clean up for accounts I follow/who follow me. A lot of my friends stopped using their accounts a while back, so I deleted them oop LOL But I really love the few new mutuals I have made since then!

8. A message for your followers?

My DMs and ask box are always open! Say hi anytime!

9. Favorite blog you follow?

Ah, y’all know who you are!! I have a handful! 🥰

10. Favorite thing about your Tumblr?

It’s literally a collection of my favorite things. It’s fun to scroll back when I need something to cheer me up. It’s also fun to see how my interests have changed throughout the years.

Many people have questions and there are some misconceptions about our super foods 😋

✅1. You eat REAL FOOD 🥒🥑🍳🥙on the program and generally lots of it!!

One of the ideas of the program is to flood 🌈 your body with nutrition it's not currently getting - 2 shakes a day is an ADDITIVE to your regular, clean, whole food diet.

Some people even need to eat 5-6 meals per day like me and 2-3 of these meals are the shakes. There aren't huge restrictions on what you're able to eat but you will crave healthier foods and drinks!

✅2. Unlike so many other programs out there, ☝🏼ours resets your cravings and teaches you how to make healthy choices - AND it almost eliminates cravings for junk, especially unhealthy processed carbs and sugar.

✅3. The program is scientifically validated 📊 by clinical studies (including data points like people lose 2x the visceral fat than on a heart healthy diet) and by a number of doctors and nutritionists in the company and also an impressive Scientific Advisory Board. 👨🏼🔬👨🏻🔬👩🏾🔬

✅4. This program is not exclusively for "weight loss," but if your body would function optimally at a lower weight, it will get you there. Many people on our team are looking for more 🏃🏽energy and sleep😴, better performance🏋🏽, more lean muscle 💪🏼, healthy aging 👩🏽🌾👵🏼and overall optimal health.

✅5. The products are delicious and filling with NO 👎🏼 GMO's, no artificial 🌈 colors or dyes, no soy and 🙅🏻 most of them are gluten-free 🌾too.

✅6. You should not be hungry. If you are physiologically hungry, you will increase ⬆️ your calories so your results will not be impeded.

✅7. The results are LASTING. Many people use this as a maintenance schedule: a shake for breakfast most mornings along with an adaptogen drink and essential vitamins 💊. Then, if/when they start to drag or feel like they need a reset, they do a cleanse 🍷day. We have many nutritionists on our team that have explained why people are able to maintain their results so well; in a nutshell, the program fires 🔥 up your metabolism and the detox balances your system to function optimally.

✅8. Cleanse days. If you follow the program as its written - out of 30 days, FOUR days are 🍷cleanse. You pick the days. So many doctors and nutritionists advocate for intermittent fasting, but with ours you're supported by products that control your blood sugar, increase your energy and mood. Cleanse days are not difficult; they're 90% mental.

✅9. There are even other ways to cleanse. Some people who prefer not to do a deep cleanse day (intermittent fasting) prefer to do a daily cleanse. That is just drinking 2 oz of Cleanse before bed or in the morning.

✅10. This is not a colon 💩 cleanse. You won't be in the bathroom from this cellular cleanse 🚿...You don't need to take time off of work or be at home. In fact, most people say they have great amounts of energy 💃and incredible mental clarity on cleanse days.

✅11. We're NOT 💰expensive compared to what we spend on things now. It is a program that can transform how you look and feel with a 💯% money back guarantee.

✅12. Yes, you can still indulge. People are blown away that they go on vacations 🍫🍰🍕 where they indulge, party 🍹away the weekend, make a few bad decisions and they don't see a huge rebound! In fact, they're able to get right back on track. We live rich, full, indulgent lives but we do so feeling amazing, looking a lot younger than we did before we started, and for many of us able to perform at a much higher level 🥇than we have for years.

✅13. You have a 100% satisfaction, 30 day money back guarantee - nothing to lose and everything to gain. You have complete control of your account, you decide what you want and when you want it.

Why not give it a try? It will be the best decision you ever made👏🏼😋💕

THIS 📦 changed my life, but only after I decided to say YES!!!

My take on ladders 🪜😉 Evidently as seen in this painting here, the ladder is my subject. Why the fascination, you may ask. Until I saw Georgia O’Keefe’s paintings with ladders 🪜 hung on the tranquil walls of rarefied museums 🤔, I never paid much attention to them 😬 These objects that so many ordinary mortal folks like us 👵🏼👨🏽👦👧🏼👩🏻 have used at one time or another. As long as I can remember, the ladder is a practical item to reach for something higher - an extremely useful and practical piece of apparatus for someone short like me. Georgia O’Keefe, a painter who lived from 1887-1986, however saw the ladder in a different light. 🔆 This is what a really inspiring leader does. They lead without coercion and with gentle winsome messages help us see the world and ourselves in a totally new way. They introduce to us things we never considered before and usher possibilities for us to aspire for and step into with both heart and bravery. The message for us all? Follow wisely and lead well ❤️ (Something I am learning still) *My two subsequent IG posts, also to do with O’Keefe, promise to be a little bit more fun and light-hearted.

👵🏼 🇱🇧 The Widows' Sanctuary in Lebanon | Al Jazeera World by Al Jazeera English Filmmaker: Hala Mourad In the heart of Lebanon's second-largest city, Tripoli, is a "Khan", an ancient guest house dating back to the period of Mamluk rule in the 14th century. The city fell to the Ottomans in 1516 and, under the Muslim charitable practice of "Waqf", the Khan was donated to the community to house widows unable to support themselves. The Islamic philanthropic tradition of Waqf dates back to the Prophet Muhammad's time and is intended to be "in perpetuity". Waqf in Islamic law was developed in the medieval Islamic world, but bears a resemblance to English trust law. Every Waqf was required to have a waqif (founder), mutawillis (trustee), qadi (judge) in addition to its beneficiaries, with continuity being "secured by the successive appointment of trustees or mutawillis." Now called the "Khanka", few Tripolitans may be aware of the guest house's existence, or its governance by the Ministry of Endowments. When this film was made, the Khanka had fallen into disrepair and its 12 rooms offered its residents only the most primitive accommodation. "Everything leaks here," says Khanka resident Um Fadi, a mother of three. "We wake up in the morning to find our mattresses and clothes completely wet. My little daughter fell ill because of this problem." While the widows depend on charitable donations for sustenance, some of them do menial jobs like cleaning apartments and cooking for meagre pay. Everything leaks here. We wake up in the morning to find our mattresses and clothes completely wet. My little daughter fell ill because of this problem. Um Fadi, Khanka resident Many of the widows have quite sad stories to tell. One of them, Um Ahmed al-Tahesh, had seven sons and two daughters, but moved to the Khanka when her husband died in the Lebanese civil war. "I had a very good life. We lived well and I had a housemaid. My husband was killed in Beirut and my life was turned upside down," she says. Her children have all grown up with their own families to care for but Um Ahmed doesn't mind her place in the Khanka. "Yes, it's a small room, but at least it shelters me. I don't mind sleeping on a mattress on the floor." Life in the Khanka can be lonely, isolated and uncomfortable for the widows and their families. But sometimes the residents are there by choice. When the ministry conducts an audit, it discovers that all but two of the residents, Um Ali Sikkari and Um Fadi, actually have family capable of supporting them. The rest are asked to leave. "Any woman who has a house or another shelter will be discharged from the Khanka," says supervisor Sheikh Nazih Musa. "This Khanka is exclusively for widows who have no financial support and no place to stay in." Charity in this part of the world has its limits and if the terms of the Waqf are breached, residence in the Khanka is unceremoniously terminated, regardless of one's age or time served. Since this film was originally made in 2016, the Ministry of Endowments announced that it would renovate the Khanka to better serve the needs of its residents in 2019. - Subscribe to our channel: https://ift.tt/291RaQr - Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish - Find us on Facebook: https://ift.tt/1iHo6G4 - Check our website: https://ift.tt/2lOp4tL More from Al Jazeera World on: YouTube - https://ift.tt/2bwus2u Facebook - https://ift.tt/2bFCW4Z Twitter - https://twitter.com/AlJazeera_World Visit our website - https://ift.tt/2bwuzLt Subscribe to AJE on YouTube - https://ift.tt/2bFDsA1
