Dear friends of Palestine, friends of Gaza and friends of my family in Gaza!
FINALLY!!! We are at 99% of our goal in our campaign to evacuate the living hell of Gaza and rebuild our life in Ireland!
While people post Eid outfits, food, and family photos, my family in Gaza is trying to survive another day of bombs, hunger, fear, and unbearable heat.
There is NO safe place left in Gaza.
The bombardment continues every single day.
The explosions never stop.
And now summer has turned the tents they live in into literal ovens.
Imagine trying to sleep inside plastic and fabric under a burning sky while drones and airstrikes continue around you.
This is NOT a temporary hardship.
My family has lived through this nightmare for more than two years.
Two years of displacement.
Two years of terror.
Two years of watching their lives collapse piece by piece.
I am in Ireland, studying and trying to build a future, while every day I fear getting the phone call that my family did not survive the night.
We have already come such a long way thanks to the incredible support from friends of Gaza and Palestine around the world. Truly, we would never have made it this far without you.
And now we are VERY close to reaching our final goal.
Our only goal is to evacuate my entire family from Gaza to Egypt temporarily, and then reunite safely together in Ireland.
Please do NOT abandon Gaza and my family because the headlines got quieter.
Please don’t stop caring because the world moved on.

People say: "Family always comes First," and to that, I say: "Amen!".… Mahmoud Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza;
In addition to 15-year-old Nour’s ongoing health issues, Nour’s sister Noha recently developed a severe stomach ulcer due to an infection induced by drinking unsanitary water. This ulcer is causing Noha extreme pain and digestive issues, and if it is not treated very soon, will lead to internal bleeding. This ulcer has gone untreated in order to allot more funds for Nour’s ongoing nebulizer treatments, but it has progressed to the point of literally debilitating pain and serious complications. Let’s raise the cost of treatment ASAP so Nour can continue nebulizer treatments and Noha can live her life again!!
Current: $4,790 out of $5,290 usd (7 June)
Need: $500 usd

It's done!! I lowkey zoned out halfway through- genuinely can't tell how good the colors look right now,, will see once my eyes are well rested tomorrow.
I want to speculate and discuss. How would HRT work on elves in TDP? I mean their horns specifically. They're attached to their skulls, like how antelopes and bovines have theirs, so there must be blood vessels and thus nerves
So they might feel something, right? How they grow and/or change? Increase in sensitivity? Headaches? Do they feel them grow?
Perhaps since they're growing new tissue they may have a need for more nutrients?
I haven’t really noticed sexual dimorphism in the elf horns. Since horns have a bone core, you would not expect a transfemme elf to show much difference because it’s not like the horns could shrink, but a woman transitioning to a man might start growing heavier horns… 🤷🏼♂️
Transitioning before puberty, however, could make a bigger difference? Assuming that the hormonal changes at puberty impact the growth of the horns?
Despite being an entire continent completely devoid of mammalian predators, there are not as many lineages of flightless birds as one might expect of an environment like this. This is because of the unique positioning of Antarctica, with the continent experiencing a polar night across the entire surface, six months of the entire continent receiving a perpetual night. Due to this, land migrations into more hospitable environments like the ones found in the northern hemisphere, are not possible, and herbivores like anatids need to retain their flight in order to fly to South America for greener pastures. For the few that stay, they must survive temperatures below -30 Celsius, and practically no food for those six months of winter.
One group that has perfectly adapted to ensure these winters are the Karanis (Crassopectiniformes). This ancient order of birds was amongst the first to colonize the continent when it first started to thaw, and has found great success through a very unique adaptation. Although they have completely lost their wings, they still retain a fairly robust breastbone that they use not to support large flying muscles. They take advantage of the short growth period of plants on the continent and eat as much as they can, storing all the extra energy in the form of fat that they slowly burn through the winter to supplement the meagre amounts of food they can acquire during it.
They are distributed throughout the continent and are generally very large, with the largest of them being the Titan Karani (Crassopectus corpulentus), with a summer weight of almost 300kg. Even more impressive is the amount of weight they gain for their winter molt, as they can reach over 500kg during this time, almost doubling in weight. They are the widest ranged species of the group, living across the shrublands, tundra and open carpet forests of the continent, feeding on any plant they can cut with their sharp beaks.
