👇Urgent Update👇

‼️Please Don’t Scroll It‼️

My last donation was 24 hours ago. I launched the appeal that I am in Egypt and I need to buy medicine for my parents and transfer the cost of treatment to my daughter in Gaza, but I did not receive any attention. My hope is still pinned on you. Please do not leave me like this.

Donate Me Please😭💔

‼️🚨EMERGENCY UPDATE🚨‼️

🍉🍉Please do not ignore🍉🍉

After a long struggle during the war, my father's condition deteriorated rapidly and madly (a broken pelvis, blocked arteries, high blood pressure, and ulcers in his diabetic foot).

Thank God, we have arrived in the Arab Republic of Egypt to receive treatment. He is now lying in intensive care and his condition is critical.

I left my wife and children in Gaza, who are in dire need of me. The situation there is very catastrophic and the war could return at any moment.

My daughter needs weekly treatment that costs more than 500 euros.

We are here today in Egypt. I do not have anything to move around with. I hope that whoever sees this post will donate and share it widely, as I am in dire need.

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

There's a viral video circulating from the Fort Worth Zoo, of two keepers who ended up in a habitat at the same time as a silverback gorilla. Spoiler for good news: neither the humans nor the gorilla got hurt. It's a bad situation that ended extremely well, and that's why I want to talk about it.

The audio for this video is mostly someone praying loudly, so if you need to turn the audio off to watch it, you won't miss anything relevant. If you don't want to watch it, here's the summary: it starts with a keeper running around the corner into the main exhibit, pursued by a large male gorilla. She is quickly able to get into a doorway at the back of the exhibit, but does not completely close the door because the gorilla is standing across from her, watching. He eventually moves off to the right hand side of the exhibit, where we can see a keeper is trapped in the corner at the front. She was trying to move towards the exit as he moved to the right, and she stops, standing very still behind a tree, while he stays along the far right wall. They stay like that for a minute, and then the gorilla runs to the front right corner, and the keeper is able to run to the door in the back of the exhibit and get to safety.

Let's start with basic information. Even though it's just going viral now, this video is from October of 2023. It was taken not by a guest, but by the zoo security officer responding to the situation. Hmmm, seems like he maybe should have been doing something else during that situation, instead of than taking a phone video. It's going viral now because the guy (who is no longer employed at the zoo) decided to post it on TikTok for his five minutes of fame. This guy immediately started giving all sorts of media interviews, answering questions like "why no tranquilizers" inappropriately, making memes out of his own video, generally distasteful shit.

Zoo spokesperson Avery Elander gave a public statement that "thankfully, there was no physical contact between keepers and gorilla, and all staff and animals are safe." A comment from the zoo has also indicated that the incident was due to keeper error. (As opposed to, for instance, something in the fencing breaking.) According to the guy who posted the video, a lock was left unsecured and the gorilla was able to open the door to the habitat. I don't know if I buy it, and again, this just... is probably why he doesn't have a job anymore. By sharing that detail - real or not - he places a ton of public scrutiny and blame on that keeper team. (If that's what happened, I can promise you it will have been dealt with internally.) He also was nice enough to say he wouldn't name the women in the video... but verified they're still staffers at the zoo... which means they're eminently identifiable! Excuse me while I ragequit for a second.

So there's two reasons I wanted to talk about this. The first is to make sure it is well known that this guy is purposefully and intentionally exploiting the worst day of someone's life for media attention. Their lives were in danger, and he's using it for fame. His name is in the media articles - I'm not going to share it because he doesn't deserve that attention. The second reason, though, is because this video is a masterclass on how to survive if you end up sharing space with a gorilla. Every zoo person I've spoken to or seen comment on the video is so, so impressed with how the keepers handled themselves.

The gorilla in this video is 34-year-old Elmo. All apes in AZA zoos are managed in protected contact, so keepers are supposed to be separated from them by a barrier at all times. The zookeepers were in the habitat putting out a mid-day meal when he got out. Watching the video, you can see he's not actively being aggressive towards them - he's not making threat displays or trying to approach them. Mostly, Elmo seems like he doesn't know what is going on and he's kinda freaked out about it. (This is confirmed in the zoo's press statement, too). The staff stayed calm, and importantly, watched and waited to see how he'd move and act.

The zoo did say one thing, though, that's a bit misleading. In one article, their press person I quote as saying “In general, gorillas are considered the “gentle giants” of the great ape species.” Just because this may be true in comparison to other great ape species doesn't meant gorilla aren't still incredibly dangerous. This type of messaging always worries me, because I think it leads people to misunderstand the risks of being close to megafauna. Gorilla are extremely strong animals, and their social norms/behaviors are very different from that of humans. That's why it's such a big deal any time people end up in gorilla habitats, and why sometimes in those circumstances lethal measures have to be taken to protect human life.

These keepers are incredibly lucky to be unharmed. These women stayed safe specifically because they're trained professionals who knew how to act around gorilla, they knew this particular animal well, and they'd learned the escapes from the exhibit just in case this ever happened. We should applaud them for their cool heads and quick thinking.

As for the guy who posted the video? As a colleague put it, may he always step on a Lego.

We do not enter or leave our homes as others do, For our feet remain rooted in our land, no matter how fierce the storms. We return, carrying our wounds and our hope, From the burning south of Gaza to its devastated north.

We are like trees whose roots grow deeper as the storms blow. We are the Palestinians, returning to our shattered homes, To rebuild them anew, with stones of resilience and the will to live.

For the homeland is not merely land, but a story we write with our blood, And every step we take over the rubble is a declaration that we remain here. We do not seek refuge, but we create life from amidst the ruins, Because resilience is what makes us different.

The Journey of Return

After fifteen months of forced displacement, we returned carrying hope, but what we found was harsher than we had imagined. Our homes were no longer homes. They had become silent ruins telling a story of loss. There were no longer walls to protect us nor windows overlooking the dreams we had grown up with. Every corner here whispered the pain of memories, the sound of laughter buried under the rubble, and the warmth of family that had become just a memory.

We walked 11 miles, nearly 18 kilometers, carrying what was left of our lives on our shoulders, treading over harsh ground that seemed to reproach us for our absence. The road was not just a distance. It was a lesson in patience and resilience. Our bodies were exhausted, but our souls burned with longing.

Today, we stand on this land, trying to gather what remains, to start again despite the pain. But the truth is, we can't do it alone. We need a helping hand, support to rebuild our lives as they once were, or even better. This land has suffered just as we have, yet it still holds the potential for life. And so do we… we just need someone to believe in us, to help us rise again.

Astrology observation -1-

Buy me a coffee (tip)

₊˚⊹ People with Leo Mercury are very straightforward in expressing what they want to say. You will always find them leading something even more so than Aries Mercury individuals because while Aries Mercury handles leadership with aggression, Leo Mercury shine when they speak their mind.

₊˚⊹ Having Capricorn, Sagittarius, and Scorpio in the same chart will create a person that can basically make people hate being around them. Sorry for that, but I’ve met a lot of people with these placements, and it's always the same. They are pessimistic in a sense, blunt, and emotionless, and they want everything to go their way like a 'my way or the highway' type of person. At first, people may fear them, but over time, that fear starts to turn into a dislike for being around them because they tend to release a lot of negative energy at some point. And let��s be honest no one wants to be around negativity.

₊˚⊹ A Cancer with prominent Gemini placements is the definition of a '1000-face' person, frr. These individuals manipulate situations in the worst way possible, especially when combined with Mars energy (Aries and Scorpio placements). They can be superficial and always look for a way out of a problem by playing the victim. The wildest part? They lie and actually believe their own lies. For example, if they stole something and sensed people were suspicious, they would cry their way out of it and genuinely convince themselves they didn’t do it. On the bright side, they’d make great actors.

₊˚⊹ 12th house placements are naturally drawn to solitude, but they have an incredible depth of spirituality. As someone with Moon-Jupiter in the 12th house, I find it fascinating how in tune these individuals are with the unseen. They have a unique ability to perceive things clearly, if that makes sense. If you're ever going through tough times and need deep, insightful advice, you’re better off seeking someone with strong 12th house placements they just know things in a way others don’t.

₊˚⊹ Make sure to pay close attention to which planet conjuncts your Saturn that's your biggest karmic lesson. For example, if you have Mercury conjunct Saturn, you may struggle with expressing your thoughts and communicating effectively, often feeling stuck. Writing might become a useful outlet for you. Also, consider the sign where this conjunction occurs. If it's in Cancer, for instance, you might find it difficult to express your emotions and may fear hurting others with your words, causing you to hold back.

₊˚⊹ People with Taurus Venus love being spoiled they thrive on luxury and comfort. Nothing makes them happier than a partner who treats them, whether it’s paying for a meal or gifting them something nice. They see it as a sign of love and security.

₊˚⊹ Having Moon square Venus is really tough, whether in a man's or a woman's chart. In a man's chart, it indicates that the vision of the woman he wants as his wife is so different from what he wants in a girlfriend, which can eventually lead to cheating. In a woman's chart, it's like she can't express her feminine energy in a way that truly satisfies her she may want one thing but need something different, leaving her stuck between her emotional needs and what she wants in a relationship.

~ 𝙵𝚕𝚞𝚏𝚏 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝙱𝚘𝚢𝚏𝚛𝚒𝚎𝚗𝚍!𝙼𝚎𝚐𝚞𝚖𝚒 ~

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who walks into your room late one night, dragging his feet as if the weight of the world is on his shoulders. His usual cool demeanor is softer tonight, replaced by a subtle tiredness in his eyes.

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who, without saying a word, sits down on the edge of your bed and just exhales a deep sigh, rubbing his face with both hands as if trying to shake off the exhaustion. You look at him, concern written all over your face, and gently ask, “Hard day?”

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who nods silently, his shoulders slumping further as he leans back against the headboard. “Yeah,” he mutters, his voice rough. “Just... really tired.”

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who doesn’t want to talk about his day, but the moment you reach out to him, your fingers gently brushing through his messy hair, he starts to relax. You sit next to him, resting a hand on his shoulder, offering him comfort without asking for anything in return.

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who eventually lets out another sigh, his head dropping to your to your chest and his arms wrapping around your waist as he rests against you, clearly worn out but still craving your warmth and reassurance. He doesn’t need words to express how much he needs you, and you understand completely.

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who finally, with a quiet whisper, says, “Can we just... stay like this for a while?”

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who allows you to pull him closer, snuggling up against you as you carefully guide him to lie down on the bed. You tuck him in, brushing your fingers through his hair one more time before kissing the top of his head softly.

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who closes his eyes, feeling the weight of the world finally lifting off his shoulders, just from being in your presence. He falls asleep with your hand resting on his chest, your soft breathing lulling him into a peaceful rest.

❀ Boyfriend!Megumi who, when he wakes up in the morning, feels the comfort of your presence beside him, knowing that whatever challenges come his way, he’ll always have you to turn to. And that thought makes the world feel a little bit lighter.

HELLO LOVEESS~!! have yall been eating and staying hydrated?? I hope you darlings have a great rest of your day~ bai baiii!! love, ✭ Nika ✭
