he is born, raised and based in gaza. please help him reach his goal of $50K to get his family to safety across the rafah border into egypt. as of right now… it’s $7.5K per person to evacuate gaza.
one of the three palestinian students shot by a racist in vermont for wearing kufiyas and speaking arabic. hisham’s injuries have left him paralysed from below the chest.
note: you can call everyday. they tally the number of calls per issue. so more calls = higher chance for them to take action. p.s. you mainly go to voicemail so don’t worry about phone call anxiety. fight through it just this once please.
p.s. if the template is outdated, just use it as a guide and add a few sentences here and there that reflect the current situation. i can’t find any recent templates so :/ at least this is something
hey, I went to Mad At You Island and it wasn’t empty. there was a stranger you were a bit curt with on a bad day, an old friend who you got into a falling out with, a labmate who’s experiment you messed up by mistake, someone who’s birthday you forgot, an internet stranger who is hellbent on deciding you’re not morally good enough for not reblogging a post or not following a one day boycott. and it is kind of mortifying to realise that Mad At You Island will never be uninhabited, but it’s just a fact of life. and if you try to reduce the population to zero, you’ll end up whittling yourself down to nothing
this is completely true, and you know what else? i’ve actually visited Mad at You Island a few times, and while it’s never empty, the turnover rate is pretty high. most people only pop in for a minute or two at a time, a couple of hours at most. in most cases, they have better things to do with their days then sit and stew on Mad at You Island. and while there are certainly exceptions, in general, if you are someone who does your best to communicate openly and listen well and be decent to other people, then most of the time, folks you find lingering for ages on Mad At You island probably got lost on their way to Mad At Myself Island. that’s a bummer for them, because it sucks in both those places, but that’s neither your fault nor your problem.
though i once would not have believed this, it’s okay to let people go to Mad At You Island. it is, in fact, one of the great joys of life to reach the day where you see someone set off for that desolate hellscape and, with delighted relief, realize, “my god! i don’t have to follow them.”
Thinking about the Holmes story where a blind girl goes to him and is like “My fiancé is missing and he kept telling me the week leading up to his disappearance that he would always love me and come back for me,were anything to happen so I think he knew he was in trouble and I love him so much and I’m going to wait for him but I’d like to find him faster,ya know?” And Holmes figures out that it was this girl’s parents to scam her out of money she was owed from an estate which she gave to them because she was still living at home,which she wouldn’t be if she ever married,so her step father PRETENDED TO DATE HER for MONTHS to keep her from ever getting engaged to a real person and when Holmes finds out he confronts this man and this man is like “Well,you caught me! But it wasn’t illegal:) so:)” and Holmes is like “No,but it was sickening and cruel and if she had a brother or good male friend he should post you up and whip you but she doesn’t.” And the man is like “No,she doesn’t.” And does the Victorian version of sticking his tongue out and Holmes is like “Well,I guess I’ll do then!” And HE PULLS OUT HIS HUNTING WHIP.
One of my favorite things about moving into my own apartment has been just autism/adhd proofing the fuck out of the place. I can accommodate my needs as much as I want to and it’s a type of freedom every neurodivergent person should experience
hey quick PSA but “reading before bed to wind down” only works if you’re normal about books btw. if you aren’t you are going to end up awake at 2:52am after finishing the whole book just trust me on this one
Gasp! a non alterhuman post by me. It’s more likely than you think!
I just need to say that my queer platonic partner I had and mentioned on my blog a few times well we’re partners now! We’ve been dating since woah March 22nd
I just love them so much and this song by Gigi Perez basically shows that and it makes me cry every time I listen to it
The song is titled “At the beach in every life”
[Verse 3]
There I saw you standing Must’ve been a holy light ‘Cause I can’t see and I can’t feel But the color in your eyes
Is saying if my dreams come up empty
And I wash up on the shore
You would find me at the beach In every life, through every door
Specifically that last lyric represents my love for them and what I’ve told them last year that I feel like we’d find each other in any life. Anyways that’s all I wanted to say because I realized I just stopped posting about my QPP.
qpr where i will fall in love with you over and over again, i don't care how, where, or when, no matter how long it's been, you're mine. don't tell me you're not the same person, you're always my partner and i've been waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for you. /lyr
No, put–put your clothes back on. I know I said friends with benefits, I meant *fumbling with a kid’s dress-up ring* tax benefits. Why would I mean something else?
Ya know, it’s be really just dandy if I lived in an apartment in a large city and shared a flat/apartment with my queer platonic girlfriend. We’d take turns making each other breakfast and dance around in our apartment while we did so. We’d have plants lining the windows and little crystals hanging in the windows. In the warmer months, we’d make tea and sit on the balcony to watch the sun rise. In the winter, we’d make hot cocoa and watch some cartoons. Then we’d spend some time just talking before we help each other get ready for the day.

I’m not crying…you’re crying. It just seems so nice to just exist with someone who you know loves and cares for you. You’re able to do things that are usually considered “romantically coded” and it just be pure and wholesome.
That gleeok is a public menace to the public infrastructure.
