"i require more fluids" well what did you do with the fluids I already gave you. hmm? did you make more mucus with them? you made more mucus with them.

Sometimes I think about those old photographs from the late 1800s of snow drifts taller than a person, right in the heart of major cities, and then I think about how for the last 3 years we haven't had enough snow here to cover the grass.

The duality of man is thinking “children cannot help themselves and we all need to be patient with them as they explore what it means to be human in public” and also “damn, I wish this crying baby was not on the plane rn :/“

[ffcrazy15]

Just as courage is not the absence of fear but doing the brave thing in spite of it, patience is not the absence of irritation but doing the kind thing in spite of it.

The black text in it reads "No matter how open-minded, socially conscious, anti-racist I think I am, I still have old learned hidden biases that I need to examine. It is my responsibility to check myself daily for my stereotypes, prejudices and, ultimately, discrimination." /ID end]

One of the worst things to happen to antiracism is the (figurative) PR campaign that convinced us (esp US Americans) that a racist is the worst thing you can possibly be--this makes contronting and unlearning your racism near impossible because we have conflated racism (a systemic, structural problem) with ontological truth (racism as some essential component of our being).

Once we start loving ourselves, people no longer seem good to us unless they are actually good for us.

The reason why I hate the idea of growing up, I guess, is subconsciously because I want to remain a child and be sheltered from accepting the responsibility of things. I also shy away from making decisions and thinking about what I'm good for—which I am convinced, isn't much.

URGENT: Get Shaima to 80k BY SUNDAY

i will make a more detailed post about this tomorrow but when it boils down to it i need you all to know this: time is running dangerously low for Shaima and Muhammad's families to evacuate.

yesterday 1am the kids were woken up by deafening explosions extremely close to al-Mawasi—another iof targeted airstrike aiming for refugee camps. the family was forced to flee without any of their possessions. they are now officially tentless.

to make matters worse, Hala agency contacted Wafaa to tell her that she needs to have the full campaign amount ready by August 18 if she wants her family to be registered for evacuation together. We still have about 28k left to raise.

we have less than SEVEN DAYS in order to help this tentless and starving family evacuate. they have been displaced more than 10 times now, and the kids are sleeping exposed on the sidewalks of Khan Younis. I opened Al-Jazeera literally 15 minutes ago and the iof is bombing Khan Younis AS WE SPEAK. Please. I don't know how else to urge you to donate, the lives of 10 children and their parents literally are in your hands.

The last donations made were from more than half an hour ago. Please do all that you can to save these children from constant siege and bombings. Please save a new mother from contracting potentially deadly postpartum infections. Please help rekindle hope for Wafaa to reunite with her beloved family.

Currently $51,924 raised of $80,000 goal as of August 11 end of day, we need to raise the remaining $28,076 in the next seven days. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can save a family.

Donate to Help Mohammad & Shaima in Gaza!, organized by Said As

Hello, my name is Wafaa 42 years old. After my campaign ended, I wanted to start evacuating my… Said As needs your support for Help Mohammad

Two raffles being held simultaneously by me, winners will both be announced at the start of September (this deadline was set before I knew about Hala agency's stipulations. we still need this campaign to be completed THIS WEEK). please donate what you can and enter one of the two raffles: a crocheted Magikarp plush or a custom screen-print tote bag.

[finalgirlabigailhobbs]

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped spread this campaign today!! We have broken 60k and have now helped the family raise the exact amount necessary for evacuation. However, we still have some more to raise.

As touched on in the original post, the family is now tent-less because of forcible displacement by the iof and unable to afford basic things like baby formula, food, and even pots to cook in. We absolutely need to raise the remaining amount so the children could at least sleep in a tent instead of exposed to the elements, insects, and most importantly to iof drones ahead.

Currently $60,222 raised of $65,000 daily goal for tomorrow!!! Please help us start raising money towards this milestone so we can help Shaima and Muhammad complete the campaign BEFORE THIS SUNDAY. Time is running out.

please help spread if able 🙏

ah shit I just got Infomercialed

[dragon-in-a-fez]

I opened a kitchen cabinet and there was a big open bag of spaghetti inside, and a waterfall of spaghetti gushed out, continuing for a comedically long period of time while I, for some reason, desperately tried to catch individual noodles instead of blocking the bag so more didn't come out.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

has this ever happened to you? there's gotta be a better way! [picture suddenly changes from black & white to full colour] introducing the spaghetti dam
