Rolan

A Childhood Stolen by War 💔

When I think of my little ، daughter Rolan, the first thing that comes to mind is her innocent laughter that used to fill our home with joy.

Rolan, who is just five years old, was once a lively, energetic child, full of innocence and unaware of anything but playing with her toys 🧸🎈.

Since the war began, everything has changed.

We have been forced to flee several times, each time hoping that it would be our last stop 😔🏚️.

Rolan would watch us silently as we packed our few belongings, her eyes reflecting fear and confusion about what was happening around her 😔.

In the last place we went to, Rolan began to suffer from a problem with her skin, which began to become constantly sensitive due to pollution, insect bites, and germs spread everywhere.

Rolan cried from the pain, and we couldn't afford to get her the necessary treatment😢

Access to doctors or medicine became almost impossible due to the ongoing conflict 🚫🩺, and we now live in a place lacking the most basic necessities.

Rolan would ask us innocently, "Why can't I play like I used to? Why does my skin hurt?" 🥺, and all we could do was reassure her that everything would be okay, even though deep inside, we felt completely helpless.

Our constant displacement has also affected her nutrition 🍽️.

Despite all this pain, Rolan remains a child 🌸.

Even in the hardest moments, she tries to smile 😊, searching for small moments of joy in anything she can find around her.

Her story is the story of thousands of children who have suffered because of the war 🕊️.

Her life has been suspended between pain, fear, and deprivation.

All we want is to give her back a piece of the life she deserves 🎨.

We are doing everything we can to provide Rolan with the treatment she needs and to restore the sense of safety she has lost, but we cannot do it alone 🤲.

We need your support, not only to secure medicine and treatment but to give Rolan the chance to live her childhood as she should 🌸.

Every contribution can help heal her wounds and bring back the smile we’ve missed 💖.

We want to give her a better future, free from pain and fear 🌟✨.

best wishes:

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

I have found the best ally

Straight and cis people will say that they are allies, but you will NEVER measure up to my dentist.

Me: "Hey, is it ok if I can change my name on my info from [DEADNAME] to Aspen?"

Random woman that I wasn't even talking to in the chair next to me: "Honey, if that's the name you had at birth, [DEADNAME] is your only name."

My dentist, very slowly turning her rolley chair towards the woman: "Shush."

Random woman: "Excuse me?"

Destist: *closes privacy curtain while staring bullets at the lady*

Me: *pissing myself laughing*

My dentist while changing my name in my info (reminder that English is not her first language, she immigrated from Russia): "There, Aspen, you have pretty boy teeth. Smile and make all girls swoon."

Me not having the heart to tell her I'm not transmasc but I'm Agender, and still pissing myself laughing: "Thank you [DENTIST NAME]."

Edit: Ok, this has gotten alot of attention, but right now my other posts is what really needs attention. I have a few fundraisers for people trying to evacuate Palestine and Gaza, but also a diabetic who needs her insulin shot. Please please please, go to my page and at the very least repost those posts, have the day you deserve and free Palestine🇵🇸

[buttercuparry]

Reblog the fundraisers you mfs!!!!! I don't know why you all skip those to reblog some pic of a banner saying "FREE PALESTINE" or of news from Columbia University! Literally these people from Gaza have made an account on Tumblr and is writing in english to communicate what they need and you all are coming onto my blog or on the tag and not reblogging their posts. We have people both Palestinian and non Palestinian vetting the fundraisers! I mean more the reblogs, more the chance of the fundraisers gaining momemtum, the more there would be a chance of a donation. Please donate if you can and reblog!!! and follow them if it is possible.

@/mohammedayesh has posted about getting leaflets, telling them to evacuate Rafah. They are very low on funds. Go follow them and reblog their posts and donate if possible.

We have @/haneenatya too whose mother is suffering from eye stroke and need to evacuate. Please I have been following them for some days and it doesn't seem their own posts are getting much attention.

Follow them! They are on tumblr. Reblog their posts and donate. The protests in universities are being done on account of them. They should be our focus.

(EDIT: on re-reading my post it seems as if I am dismissing all that the students of universities are doing. I am not. I just meant, since all of it is to help Palestinians, we must not ignore them when they ask for help).

I don’t even think it’s accurate to be like “Neil Gaiman portrayed himself as the good guy but was secretly a monster” I think Neil Gaiman thinks he’s the good guy and that’s what’s scary. I think he still views himself as a scrappy 20 something year old misunderstood introvert trying to make it with just a wish and a story in his heart and I think that’s the problem. I think his refusal to grow the fuck up and get over himself is what caused his entitlement to others. Like, he has the most vile strain of Peter Pan syndrome imaginable. Women in the public eye often get smeared as immature for things like making art about difficult feelings they have or standing up for themselves against unfair or misogynistic criticism, but men in the public eye are seldom criticized for their very glaring, very dangerous immaturity and it is emboldening them and enabling them big time. Men in the public eye get to be charming, impish boys well into their middle age. Society coddles them. Society gives them the benefit of the doubt. Society blames the woman instead. Society makes excuses. Society is patient with them as they take their sweet time sorting things out that women are expected to have sorted out by the time we turn 30. Of course powerful men think they can do these things and get away with them! We so often allow them to!

New Year🎄

New Beginnings 🫶✨

As the world celebrates the start of a new year, my children, Rolan and Omar, remind me of the simple joys of life that many of us take for granted. Here in Gaza, hunger and hardship overshadow many moments, yet the hope in their eyes keeps us moving forward.

This year, I dream of bringing smiles to their faces. A small gift or a thoughtful gesture could light up their hearts and make them feel the joy every child deserves. If you would like to help, your generosity can make a profound difference not just by providing essential food and support, but also by bringing happiness into their lives.

Rolan and Omar would love to receive even a small surprise. It could be

a warm jacket,choose a gift from the pictures.👇

or anything that shows someone cares. Your kindness would not only ease their struggles but also fill their hearts with joy and laughter.

Let's make 2025 a year of love, sharing, and compassion. Together, we can create a brighter future for the children of Gaza.

Send your gifts and donations to bring hope and happiness today.

I'm endlessly amused by the fact I applied to a market's events 6 times that prioritizes minorities, lgbtq, disabled people (I'm all three) and especially first-time vendors with them- and all I had to do to finally get accepted in was apply under a less ethnically identifiable name and 0 social media attached! I thought it would be really funny if a me who wasn't me would get in.

The random no social media guy with an 8 photo Google drive folder of my work got in first try but I didn't- and I'm gonna laugh about that tbh. 2 years of "maybe next time.." and I finally can rest easy confirming the reason I wasn't accepted truly does seem to be: they didn't want the Jew there.

I really want everyone to stop and watch this video.

Yesterday, on 10.7 - the one year anniversary of the deadliest day for Jews since the holocaust, pro-Hamas students at my alma mater, The Claremont Colleges, engaged in a protest that resulted in the students who were attending class ESCAPING through the window.

Not only did they disrupt classes but they rendered the building so vandalized, the electronics so cut up that it is unusable for at least the rest of the semester. I want to empathize, STUDENTS BROUGHT KNIVES TO A PROTEST - they sliced a projector screen in half.

Oh, they also shoved a professor and kept him trapped in the building.

this behavior is unacceptable, abhorrent and obscene.

For anyone who says "oh this is free speech," it's absolutely fucking not

A male South Australian politician is going to introduce a bill to restrict how women have their abortion today. At present, abortion is legal in South Australia, but any abortion procedure must be approved by two doctors, and must be to protect the health of the pregnant woman; under the proposed changes, women who want an abortion would instead be forced to be induced and put the foetus up for adoption (assuming it survives; there's no detail about what rights this unwanted parasite would have to identify its mother or what responsibilities women would incur for the unwanted parasite's future, e.g. around disclosing health problems). The politician claims the bill is necessary to balance the 'choice' of the mother and the 'rights' of the 'child' (and isn't it interesting how women have 'choices' and foetuses have 'rights;' that, in the discourse, women are referred to as gender-neutral 'people' whereas foetuses ad referred to as 'babies').

I don't know about y'all, but I'm just so tired of all the insidious ways that men tell us they hate us: that they can't trust our decisions (what if we regret wanting to terminate a pregnancy?), that they can't trust our intentions (what if we want an abortion for a 'bad' reason, like being pregnant and not wanting to be?), that we can't be objective (we might want rights, but what about our unwanted parasites), and so on.
