Welcome! I'm a grad student who consumes far too much media and I blog about whatever I'm fixating on at the moment - nonbinary, pronouns are she/they and I promise I will send you pictures of my dogs if you message me 💕
rolling snake eyes is a bad thing. being a snake in the grass is a bad thing. being cold-blooded is a bad thing. the english language is so fucking hostile for snakes why do you hate us so bad
NOT TO MENTION snake oil salesmen are famously sketchy. why do you hate our oils
really funny character concept i will definitely be using some day: oil salesman who is a snake. introduced as a snake oil salesman
he’s a painfully honest and sincere oil salesman. he’s not selling miracle cures he’s telling you exactly what it is. and what it is, is oil. he’s got olive oil coconut oil corn oil. every kind of oil you can think of
Today, Angelina Jolie arrived near Gaza as news reports speak about a possible reopening of the Rafah crossing. For the world, this is diplomacy and headlines.
For my family, this could be the thin line between staying trapped in a tent , or finally escaping it. If Rafah opens, this may be our only chance to leave the cold, the fear, and the nights our children cry themselves awake.
The actor Jackie Chan has said that a boy from Gaza made him cry. He said, “Recently, I watched a video. As soon as I saw that child speak, I started crying.
He was asked, "What will you be when you grow up?” He said, “Children on our side don’t grow up.” My tears just came falling down instantly. Gaza. The children of Gaza… Every day, being bombed.
When he said that sentence, he had no expression. So, you see, growing old is a form of happiness.“
I did not sleep last night.
I kept thinking: what if it comes into our tent? What if it bites my son while he sleeps? Amir is just a baby. I checked him all night. Every movement of air made my heart race. This is the kind of fear we live with in tents. Not once. Every night.

This is why I am asking for help.
We are trying to move our children out of a tent and into a simple unfinished apartment — just enough to seal it and keep them safe. We are close, but we cannot finish without support. Please help us leave this tent.
If any of you felt the helplessness I feel, you wouldn’t hesitate to help my children.
