This is Eman a Biotechnologist from Gaza. Asking for help is not easy. It's not easy at all. You have no idea how mentally and emotionally tiring this is. But when thinking that the price is my family's life, getting out of here safely and achieve my doctoral degree dream, it just pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal. I'm here as I try to reach out to more people asking for their help to support our family's campaign so we can survive while all you have to do is literally donating even by just the price of your morning coffee or maybe a simple breakfast, So I think I'm not asking for so much. We're really tired of living under these catastrophic conditions for a whole 10 months. Your generosity will not only change our lives but also remind us that even in our darkest hour, we are not alone. https://gofund.me/d597b8e2

Hi there, Eman. I'm a biotechnologist just like you. I looked up your work and saw your research on identifying genetic risk factors for ischemic heart disease and celiac disease. That's really admirable work, and I hope you can one day achieve your dream of studying for your PhD in Malaysia. For now, I've donated what I can to try and keep you and your family safe.

REI REI REI!!! I WANNA KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY HEADCANONS FOR KENJI X CONSTANCE!! :33

OF COURSE!!!

1. Constance is the only woman Kenji feels secure with.

2. Kenji is lowkey bad at hunting so Constance is the one that brings food.

3. Constance constantly has to repair things that Kenji has broken - including Kenji himself. (Lmao)

4. Kenji asks Constance the most unanswerable questions.

(I just woke up so i don't have many ideas😔)

Not even being dramatic when I say this is the 2nd worst gymnastics scandal after Sydney 2000. The FIG should be ASHAMED of themselves for their handling of this Olympics

[bigtreefest]

essie will u explain forms in gymnasticsss? like what's classic form etc?

Brandy! I will gladly do my best to explain this. I know I have a tendency to talk like people understand what I’m saying when it comes to gymnastics. As my sister likes to say “not everyone watched every elite competition since ‘96, Essie. You can’t spill encyclopedic knowledge and expect them to understand.” Oops, she’s right. Anywayyyyy. I’m going to answer this in the context of bars, because I think that’s the event it’s easiest to differentiate on. You know it when you see it.

Form in gymnastics is essentially how you perform skills. It’s technically execution, but it can also be technique. Execution is things like, are your legs straight? Are your toes pointed? Do you finish your pirouette skills in a handstand on top of the bar like you’re supposed to, or in the downswing which causes a deduction?

Technique is the method in which a skill is performed. There are a few different ways you can go about learning and doing a skill so that you actually make it. That might be the position you release the bar in a release skill, how hard you swing into it, how you connect it to others. It’s how the skill looks. It’s your handstand position, is your body hollow (correct) or arched? Is your head tucked in between your arms like it’s supposed to be? The littlest things like that make the biggest difference.

There’s a concept in gymnastics of ‘international lines.’ ‘Lines’ are just the appearance of your body during skills. The way your legs extend and your body is stretched. It’s a bit of an outdated thought process that the sport is stepping away from, but there’s a classic shape that is seen to be particularly successful on bars. It’s a graceful body that has fluid movements, swinging instead of muscle-ing your way through skills. Usually marked by long legs and flexibility instead of body muscles and power.

Kaylia Nemour shows this sort of rare form that I haven’t seen in a long time. (What I mean when I say classic form- reminiscent of an earlier time in gymnastics. A very particular style) Not only is she doing difficult skills, but she’s executing them well. She makes them look good, but not necessarily easy. She’s aggressive, but not forcing the fluid motions. She’s swinging the skills, but not losing control. There’s a certain essence to a routine like that you very rarely see, but it was commonplace before 2012. Some of it might be speed, but it takes a lot of strength and care to your performance to do this well. I think that’s all I’ve got to say, but I’m happy to answer follow-up questions. I’ll leave you with some videos so you can see what I’m talking about.

Kaylia Nemour (2024 gold medalist aka perfection):

Suni Lee (2024 bronze medalist, a representation of what modern bars has come to look like):

Courtney Kupets (2004, and example of what the best technique imo on bars used to look like):

all this swimmer!percy talk got me thinking ab annabeth as well.

i feel like the logical answer for her is something like judo and taekwondo, some sort of martial arts but i have this random headcanon of her that she secretly had a talent for somersaults and cartwheels

percy and co are looking for annabeth at lunch, they’re so lost as to where she is so they go looking for her

they find her doing a whole gymnastics floor vault routine in the school auditorium while her coach is yelling “LEGS STRAIGHT ANNABETH DON’T GET SLOPPY”

randomly gymnast!annabeth decides to start competing and everyone’s floored because ??? she literally??? matches???? simone biles’ difficulty level????

naturally gymnast!annabeth aces regionals, nationals and off she goes to the olympics

gymnast!annabeth qualifies for the olympics for the first time in her career and she’s already got a gold medal with a RECORD performance

gymnast!annabeth who pulls a suni lee where she falls during her warm up but ends up becoming a medalist in the final thing

gymnast!annabeth who buys tickets to every event percy is in because she wants to be there for his every win

gymnast!annabeth who sneaks percy chocolate muffins after his coach told him off for eating too many

gymnast!annabeth who’s a natural at the sport and is practically guaranteed a win but still looks for percy in every audience for some good luck (but she’d never tell him that)

gymnast!annabeth who ran away from home at a young age, waited for ages for a quest and lost so many friends along the way only to find the only thing that can never leave her now that’s she’s found it: her love for gymnastics.

gymnast!annabeth who doesn’t just win medals but also the respect of all gymnasts as she levels with simone biles in her performance.

gymnast!annabeth who is just a good kid

(Japanese High School AU, Alternate story)

At a certain house in a neighbourhood near 12 midnight, the door was pounding frantically.

(Again, I am sooo sorry that this came in sooo late. I hope this works. T^T)

Zelda jumped out of the bed as the knocks started. She grumbled as she noticed the lights turning on outside her room.

Suni was already up when the door knocked. She felt uneasy at first, but then she heard Fidel's heavy steps as the lights came back on. The man's hair was messy, and Taiping behind was a groggy Zelda.

All three stared briefly as the thud came and went... but the knocking persisted.

The young girl turned to the door, walking over before answering it.

Dear

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for help. My family and I are facing an increasingly dire situation in Gaza, where the security conditions, lack of proper nutrition, and absence of basic life necessities have made it impossible to live safely.

I am striving to relocate eight members of my family to Egypt, where we can find the safety and stability that we desperately need. However, I have only been able to raise 11% of the necessary funds, leaving us far short of our goal.

The situation in Gaza worsens each day, and the urgency to secure my family's safety grows more critical with each passing moment. I humbly request your support in raising the needed funds as quickly as possible. Any contribution, no matter how small, will bring us closer to our goal and provide us with a glimmer of hope in these challenging times.

Please consider donating and sharing our story with others who may be able to help. Your kindness and generosity can make a life-saving difference for my family.

Thank you for taking the time to read my appeal. I am eternally grateful for your support.

Headcanon request for The Boys' favorite foods/meals?

The Boys' Favorite Foods/Meals ☻

Annie January (Starlight)

Steak de Burgo. It's a beef tenderloin either topped with or marinated in butter, garlic, and herbs, and is an intrinsically Iowan meal that started in her hometown, Des Moines, and reminds her of all the best things about home. She has really fond memories of going to the Dallas County Fair with her friends and mother and enjoying some with some Coca-Cola. The meal made everything feel OK and normal, and continues to do so for her now.

Billy Butcher

Pastrami sandwiches. Growing up halfway down from a kosher deli in the heavily Jewish community of London's East End, he and Lenny would often find comfort in spending late hours there eating sandwiches and matzoh ball soup when their father was in his worst moments. Still, he's mostly distanced himself from the memories that come with the dish; the guy just really likes pastrami sandwiches, and will devour even the biggest, meatiest thing of it in one minute tops. It's slightly concerning and always ends in acid reflux.

Frenchie

New York style pizza, specifically with marina, mozzarella, and basil. Unlike most of The Boys, Frenchie doesn't have many memories attached to it, but that's what he likes about it — it's entirely separate from his past life (to this day, the guy can't eat pelmeni because it reminds him of Little Nina). He knows all the best spots in town, and actually has several Yelp accounts dedicated to rating pizza. He has several because his usage of colorful language has gotten him banned.

Hughie Campbell

Grilled cheese and tomato soup. He's been eating it ever since he was a kid; it started with his mom making it, then his dad, and then him, so it's a huge comfort dish for him. While his go-to answer would, of course, be grilled cheese and tomato soup, Hughie also has a guilty pleasure for grilled cheese and Spaghetti-O's, which he has at least once a week. He's a big carb guy.

Kimiko Miyashiro

OK, bear with me: McDonald's cheeseburgers. As much as Frenchie expanded her palate (she's got a special fondness for margherita pizzas), she loves McDonald's cheeseburgers due to them being the first thing she ate once she left the Shining Light Liberation Army. Specifically, she likes a plain McDonald's cheeseburger with extra cheese dipped into a medium McFlurry. Do not judge. Our girl has been through enough.

Marvin T. Milk (Mother's Milk)

Pecan salad, typically with a sweet vinaigrette. It's very specific, but when M.M. was a broke SUNY student trying to stay healthy, he would fuck up a good chicken pecan salad from the nearby SuperFresh. You know how if you have too much of something, you get sick of it? M.M., a creature of habit, is not that type of guy. It's become a meme in the office to see how many times he comes in with a damn pecan salad (or a green chia smoothie, which almost won over the salad).

PINNED!

ooc: hello! welcome to my house oc dr gavin maxwell's askblog!! underneath the read more will be basic information one would need to read to understand him better, plus a few visual references :p!

this acct is run by @worldrusher ! i follow and interact from there as well!!

note that i'm not a doctor or knowledgeable on medical things. i may get things wrong! correct me if i do!!

rules!!

- no crazy nsfw things. please. i may be 18, but i rather not talk about that stuff. sexual jokes are fine but nothing too extreme, please

- don't be an ass? or ableist or homophobic etc.. i don't want to deal with nonsense negativity on a silly askblog.

- if you want to pretend to be wilson (you'll see why under read more) that's okay, but only on anon. i won't be pushing this element of maxwell on any preexisting wilson askblogs either

tags!!

- # blood based inquiries: answering asks!

- # discussing life: non-ask rp posts!

- # turp speaks: mod posting!

that's all the basics! time for the real character info 😎 ⬇️

☆☆☆

while this may be a standalone oc blog, maxwell is actually involved in a house md oc universe that me and my bestie made. i don't intend to make him get involved with these askblog shenanigans, so i'll be breaking maxwell off of it for the purpose of this blog!!

basics!

dr gavin maxwell, md works at princeton plainsboro teaching hospital as a hematology oncologist (simply put, he's a blood cancer doc). he's 30-something years old and has been at the hospital for an unspecified amount of time (aka idk yet). he attended suny upstate medical university for his doctor things 👍!!

maxwell is scottish. he moved from scotland to new jersey in his teens and masks his accent heavily; you can only hear it if you listen close OR when hes displaying strong emotions of any time. many people are under the perception that he's american and he's perfectly okay with that. when he's especially frustrated or just alone in a room, he'll speak scots to himself. for funsies. i'm not going to attempt to translate things he says into scots because i don't speak it, plus it wouldn't make sense if he's not actually Ever talking to himself because all posts are public.

this is something no one but me cares about, but. he attended high school in the relatively same area as ppth. he was in band and marched tenor drums during marching season but was able to avoid concert band. 😁

the woke mob...

he is a trans man, gay, and uses exclusively he/him. he recieved top surgery after working at ppth for a while, and wilson helps him with tshots when at work (an arrangement made by him, wilson, and cuddy).

maxwell is autistic and has anxiety. (he's played by an autistic + anxious [?] mod, btw!) due to his autism (and probably anxiety too), he tends to be very direct, dull, and deadpan to people he does not know well, leading some people to believe he's just a dick. he has a resting pissed off face! when he's close to someone, though, he's much more comfortable showing his emotion externally and being more playful. he's taught himself how to mask to be more expressive and emotional around patients, though. he learned that the hard way...

romantical 💞

in our ocverse lore, he ends up in a relationship with wilson (hilson on the side with other oc thing; long story short polyamory is cool) after a long while of pining and house-induced angst. you know how he is. they are a healthy relationship, believe me; they're very sweet and domestic together! when maxwell is around wilson, he's beyond comfortable showing emotions and the like. i'm the #1 wilswell shipper. because of this, i welcome romantic asks towards maxwell via "wilson" on anon. i won't be attempting to interact romantically with any wilson accounts unless they say it's okay.

faceclaiming!

despite him being mid-30s, his face claim is young jared padalecki. think...giImore girIs. he technically obviously doesn't look THAT young, but he's also my default oc faceclaim. no i will not explain. he obviously dresses professionally (button up, tie, lab coat, slacks, dress shoes) but there's not going to be photos like that of young jarpad. so.

if you have any more questions about maxwell's lore, feel free to dm me or send asks! (psst, and if anyone's interested, fanart is greatly appreciated!)

[matan4il]

To the Nonnie who (we really need to find you a better nickname) asked me about the Druze and the Bedouins in Israel, you're very welcome, and likewise, I appreciate your kind words! :)

I still think Israel should strive to include our closest brethren in law as much as we can

We actually refer to Arabs as our cousins. ;) I think the Druze in particular, as well as the Israeli Arabs and the Bedouins who are not hostile to Israel, who do not support terrorism and violence against Jews, are in fact generally seen as closer than that. And I already said in my first reply to you, that I absolutely think that Israel, like all countries, should constantly strive to make life as good and inclusive for its minorities as possible. So on that point, we def agree, Nonnie. To me, it's also clear that Israel must remain the Jewish nation state, while to you it isn't (you say you're undecided what the answer is, to me there's not even a question), and I'll admit, I'm not sure why. Being a Jewish state, doesn't mean Israel is solely a Jewish state (meaning, it is NOT a state for Jews only), but we've already covered that. You want it not to be solely Jewish on a national level as well, not just that of citizen rights, or who gets to be one. You still haven't provided me with an explanation of why you think Jews are the only ones not deserving of a nation state? Historically, many bigger and more powerful unions, have disintegrated into smaller nation states, because no one group wanted to feel controlled by, or dependent on the good will of another. Why is that acceptable for the former Yugoslavia's Serbs, Bosnians and Croats, Slovenians, Macedonians and Montenegrins (as one example), but not for Jews?

And why do you think anyone will thank the Jews for throwing our right to self determination away? The Druze, for example, have been forced to do exactly this. Under the French Mandate in Syria and Lebanon, they were given self rule from 1921 to 1936. Then, as part of establishing the independent Syria, the Druze State was taken away from them, and it was forcibly integrated into Syria, while they were still allowed some autonomy. By 1944, that was canceled, too. And what has happened to them since? Syria doesn't even recognize them as a distinct ethno-religious, let alone one that deserve protection or rights. In Syria's official demographics, the Druze are registered as Muslims (in fact, the only country in the Middle East that recognizes the Druze as a distinct group, is Israel). And according to at least one Druze researcher, the Civil war in Syria has made the Druze realize that their very existence there is in danger. And this is despite the fact that the biggest Druze population in the world lives in Syria, and that since the rise of the Allawi minority to power through a military coup, at the expense of the Suni Muslim majority, minorities in Syria were treated better than in most of the Middle East (while the majority was oppressed, leading to the war).

Groups without any power, without self protection, marginalized and vulnerable, have NOT been historically treated well. I don't really know many examples to the contrary, if at all. We, as Jews, should know that better than anyone. I know that you know this, but I want to emphasize it. NO ONE will thank the Jews if we throw away our right to self rule away, and NO ONE will protect us, if we choose to make ourselves once more weak and defenceless. It's just not how human nature works.

From your last ask, it sounds like your environment is very radical, and likely anti-Zionist? And I commend you for not being as extreme, as well as for being able to carry on a respectful dialogue. I think that's maybe the biggest counter to hatred, the ability to communicate respectfully even with people we disagree with. So I don't take it lightly, that you disagree with me, but we can still have a nice conversation. But I think you can and should pose some of these questions to the people around you, who you implied are radical. Do they recognize the Zionist nature of Judaism, and the unbreakable bond of Jews to their ancestral homeland in Israel, that Judaism sanctifies? Do they recognize that before the Jewish state, and the self rule and self defence it provides us with, Jews were horribly abused in the Middle East? Do they understand how Israel continues to save Jews since its inception, both by giving them refuge in Israel, and by protecting them in the countries around the world where Jews live? Do they understand and care, that dismantling Israel as a Jewish state, takes that protection away from Jews worldwide, at a time when antisemitic narratives about us are at their strongest since WWII? And why do they think it's okay for Jews to be the only ones deprived of the right to have a nation state in their ancestral land? Hopefully, you can have a respectful dialogue with these people about these questions. But even if not, I think it's vital to ask them, because Jews have suffered too much, for too long, and there's too few of us left, to risk the safety of those of us still left on this earth, by just being optimistic, or going on a sanitized version of the past (in which nothing was ever wrong between Jews and Arabs in Israel before the advent of 19th century Zionism), and not truly confronting the real facts, history, and rights regarding Jews, and the consequences of depriving us of a nation state.

I'm glad my posts and opinions helped you reflect on and form your own. And I'm happy to share whatever knowledge I have, or why my conclusions and beliefs are what they are... I would be happy to meet for a coffee, and to kvetch together if you come to Jerusalem, and you're absolutely welcome in my inbox! Have a great day and week, and I hope you really enjoyed your Hanukkah! ^u^
