A NEW EVACUATION.. NEW SUFFERING 💔🥺
👍🏻Vetted by@90-ghost -vetted link
Breaking‼️‼️
Israeli military evacuation orders have been issued multiple times throughout August 2025. These orders have forced tens of thousands of Palestinians to repeatedly relocate amid intensified military operations and severe humanitarian conditions.
We are now forced to evacuate from Gaza to the south and we need a lot of money to move our things. We need 1000$ for the car and 1000$ for the rent of piece of land to put our tents on and we need another 1000$ to buy new tents that not preventing us from summer or winter.
Please guys do your best to share my story. We are here starving and dying slowly we need your help. Every 3 months they create a new thing to kill us or to make us suffering more and more. You are my only hope please continue you donation and sharing don't stop because you are my voice and my kids.
My name is Shada Kassab, and I am a 24-year-old mother living in Gaza. Every day is a fight for survival for me, my husband Hussein, and our baby boy Adam, who is just five months old.
My home was destroyed and my husband lost his work as a driver. He had a water truck and used it to spread water to people in need, but it was destroyed alongside my home. I have evacuated many times. The first evacuation was at Deir el balah and I stayed there for more than 4 months. And now I've evacuated again to Anusirat camp and I don't know where could be the next evacuation.
I need your support to help me and to save my son (Adam) from this violence. I need to have a safe life with my small family. Due to the high prices of traveling here from the only border I do this link to help me and my husband evacuate from Gaza Strip forever to seek our future. Adam needs an urgent surgery in his foot and need to evacuate from here ‼️🥺

If you were to create your own video game based in Greek Mythology, what would it be like?
THE HORRORS OF BACCHANAL
That's a very interesting topic because the ideas i have are so many (wish i had the skills) for example
- Cosmic horror mystery game where a detective tries to uncover the mysterious disappearing of a town's women which would unveil to finding Dionysus cult
- Honestly i would love a rpg game set in the Peloponnese war
- THE TITANS AND GIANTS WARS cause why not? Imagine a third perspective game where you choose a greek god and each one of them has a different skill level to defeat the enemy
- A puzzle game where someone goes to Crere and navigates through the ruins of the old kingdom but to their surprise new mysteries are being unveiled underneath
- A game where you play as Apollo’s priestess, giving cryptic visions and decide whether to speak the truth or twist prophecy, knowing your words will change fates
- A survival-sailing game where you command a small crew across the Aegean encountering many adventures (kinda like Odyssey or Argonautica)

I’m confused with this fandom? Are Achilles and Patroclus a thing?? I never saw them as one just a close friendship that’s all
I think it's an interesting case to study how foreign countries alter canon. In this case since Victorian and post-Victorian Europe was developing early discourse over ancient Greek myths discussing pairs even with same sex relationships however that would sometimes erase the true meaning of the original myth.
The case of these two becoming a popular pair in today's media happened after Miller's The song of achilles book that skyrocketed their fame. That said however Miller didnt stay true to the source adding modern ideologies in her book, not following Homer's depictions of said characters, unnecessary drama, plus the women were meant for no reason
Personally i never saw them as lovers especially knowing they are first cousins, i never understood why they got so popular when in the original myths there have been canon gay relationships with no "were they or not?" discussions. Not to mention that people shouldn't dismiss the equal value platonic love has over humans lives.
There have been many canon same sex relationships that some are underrated and haven't gotten the same attention:
- Apollo x Hyacinthus
- Apollo x Cyparissus
- Poseidon x Pelops
- Heracles x Iolaus
- Pan x Daphnis
- Hermes x Krokos
This pair is a study how modern culture values aesthetics, popular media, over literacy and it shows.
