please support palestinian voices and organizations 🍉 - links and sources

hello, i hope everyone can take the time to read this and consider donating if possible!! ive recently had a few people in palestine reach out to me personally asking for donations, and i think that putting the resources here in a main central post would be a great benefit to these families in order to get them more donations. ive donated to a few of these families and organizations below, but i feel bad that i cant donate more amounts since im currently a full time college student juggling with a job at the moment. so if you can, please please please considering donating or reblogging their pages, so that they can get the help they need!!! i will keep this post pinned so that it is the first thing seen on my account

I hope this post can come across as helpful to someone, the last thing i want is to speak over palestinian voices that NEED to be heard, and i sincerely hope this post doesnt do that. so many people have lost everything in their lives: loved ones, work, school, food, their homes, the list is endless. PLEASE consider donating or speading the word or even just researching on your own time from current news sources. please let me know if i got anything in this post incorrect, i want to make sure this post is a good source for people to look at.

here are a few people who i have donated to that reached out to me for help (i will try my best to update this list as people comment below this post, but i urge you to check the comments section too):

"You actually were alive?"

[ivoreene]

“Because I want to leave him in the care of an adult who understands other people’s pain. Someone like you.”

“…You came here just to say such sugary-sweet words?”

“You know that I have a sweet-tooth, don’t you?”

“I’m not good with sweets, though.”

You shouldn’t be friends with Don. 

He’s a selfish little bastard who doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He’s gonna abandon you one day and never feel an ounce of remorse or regret. He’s the absolute worst and you should stop talking to him.

leave me the fuck alone and go get hit by a bus

Pacing Tactics

● Prioritize your activities and delay, delegate or eliminate non-essential items.

● Minimize sustained physical or cognitive exertion by dividing and spreading out your activities into small segments with planned rest periods in between. For moderate to severely ill patients, even normal activities of daily living (eating, bathing, dressing) should be modified to avoid triggering PEM.

● Immediately stop and rest if you start to feel dizzy or short-of-breath, notice your heart rate increasing, or sense other PEM warning signs that might be unique to you. Don’t try to “push through” when you feel sick or tired. Although the concept is lauded in today’s society, doing so with ME/CFS will only exacerbate your symptoms and potentially worsen your illness.

● Schedule rest time (even if you don’t think you need it) to relax your body and allow for potential healing. When anticipating the need for extra energy (e.g. trip to the doctor, night out with friends, special occasion), plan extended rest time before and after the event.

● Learn to recognize emotional PEM triggers and take steps to avoid or minimize their impact. If a stressful situation is primarily beyond your control (e.g. the actions of others, world events, lack of understanding about this disease) try to take the emotion out of your thought process. Worrying or holding on to anger when you can’t do anything about a situation rarely accomplishes anything for anyone, but if you’re living with ME/CFS, it can use up your energy and cause you harm.

● Difficult as it may be, avoid the temptation to do too much when you’re feeling a bit better. It is rarely worth the consequences when living with ME/CFS.

making a fursona is fun but getting to retire an old traumatized time capsule of yourself and make a new, happy, grown version of yourself is so fuckin nice.

nvm i’m good now. watch this video

(full disclosure, captions are unfortunately only-automatic at the moment of posting. they are pretty accurately generated! but i do wish there were fully formatted embedded captions so they weren’t so flashy. this video was released barely 24hrs ago so maybe there will be proper captions added at another time.)

[c0rpseductor]

i think the only thing that bothered me was mom talking about me finding part time work once i have my migraines managed before we even got in to see the doctor, but mostly because i was already stressed. i get that it's important for a number of reasons. i do want to and i know why she puts that forward. but looking for work is Hard and it sometimes feels a little "Hurry up and get better so you can get a job already!!" even though i know she doesn't intend it that way

[star-felled]

i think there needs to be more awareness for people who are low/no-empathy btw. because it's all "support nd people" until they come across someone who cant understand and properly process other peoples emotions

[starstruck-flames]

Hey everyone.

This is your friendly reminder that no matter what-

Size you are

Gender you are

Colour you are

Hair length you are

Height you are

Mentally stable you are

Anything fucking else you could possibly find negative about yourself

That no matter what I can assure you that your fave loves you.

The way you smile at them.

The way you laugh with them.

The way you love them.

You are okay, you are accepted and you are loved.

And hell. If you still don’t believe me?

I love you! No matter what.

A song, for you!! Yes, you!!

A lot of us used to be messed up kids. It’s up to us to be not so messed up adults, and accepting ourselves and others is the first step.

Take your meds, drink your water and get a snack. You deserve some care, no matter what.

[bitchapalooza]

I loooooove England and miscommunication so muuuuuuuuuuuch they pair SO FUCKING WELL TOGETHER ENGLAND X MISCOMMUNICATION OTP FR FR uuuuh well anyway most of his bad relationships with his kids is built on bad communication and often times infantilization(still seeing them as his babies rather than politically strong and smart capable individuals). His trust issues are to blame for the most part but also he’s just reaaaaaally shit at communication in general and often resorts to lying and manipulation to protect himself. He self sabotages in as many ways as he possibly can— “they’re going to leave me anyway, might as well kickstart the abandonment myself”.

need some good things to come my way asap, NO i will not be doing anything to make this happen

[a-shadowedvales]

when jane's powers return in season four (and because they were regained by her confronting and accepting her past, rather than being retraumatised with it!) they're stronger than they ever were. when she starts getting a handle back on them, she very quickly comes to realise not only have they affected her, but her mother, too. one of the biggest losses that came about with her losing them was the fact that she could no longer visit terry in the void; while there was no real communication there, it did allow jane to sit with her, and gain a little more connection than she could in the real world. when she first visits the void after their return, it takes her three hours to find terry, something that is both unexpected and incredibly worrying. but when she does, it's something of a miracle. jane's increased strength and control over the void actually wakes terry up from her catatonic state, but only in the void. there's no way to help her mother physically, but she does do so (unbeknownst to her) mentally. terry is reborn in jane's newfound control over the vale of shadows; she becomes the woman she once was, and while her body remains frozen in a "good dream", her mind connected to jane's own allows her some freedom. jane is able to speak to her mother in the void, is able to be held by her, and while it's still unfair and jane cannot stay in there forever, it's something. this only lasts for about eight months, as each visit slowly begins deteriorating terry's physical and mental state, and jane's health begins declining after spending hours upon hours in the void each and every day.

when jane finds out these visits are actually killing her mother on the outside, she deems to stop, but terry expresses the importance of them being able to speak, that she'd prefer to die on the outside, if it meant she could have just a few months with her daughter like this. terry and jane's connection was always so strong, which ultimately led to terry "waking up" in the void, but even jane's newfound strength cannot save her from the harsh realities. each visit nearing the end of those eight months, terry fades more and more, becomes weaker in the void, and her real body eventually gives up. jane's in the void when her mother eventually passes on, and physically feels their connection weaken, like some part of her suddenly becomes lost in the shadows, a part she'll never find again. jane falls into a depressive state for weeks after her mother's death, given she's technically lost her a second time, but soon comes to realise she was lucky to have even shared those eight months together. it was better than nothing at all. there is a proper burial and funeral, (and when jane dies, she's buried next to her mother) which allows jane some sense of closure. she never fully recovers from losing terry, nor from the fact that she never had a proper relationship with her, but she does eventually find some peace with it all.
