My name is Moataz, a journalist from Gaza.

My story!

Imarried Huda on June 22nd. I was very happy with her. I photograph humanitarian issues for the world. The war started and we were exposed to a deadly attack that we miraculously survived.

We became homeless, without food or drink. My wife was crying. I set up my tent for the first time after displacement on November 1st. We sought refuge with all the relief organizations, but no one helped me. We are now awaiting the birth of our first child after a long wait. Huda is pregnant... I tried to search for safety by any means, for me, my wife Huda, and our eagerly awaiting son, Malek! 😭

We were surprised by the new displacement and the terrifying sight of the bombing. We lost everything we owned for the second time, we took refuge in Rafah, I tried in every way to provide healthy food for my wife and our expectant child, but we were surprised for the third time by a major attack that made us leave without any food or shelter, Huda is eight months pregnant and we were displaced for the fifth time, this time is the worst, Huda and I stayed for five days sleeping on the burning sand of the sea. We did not taste food for five days, 💔

we were forced to sell sweets to save and pay the price of the tent. The date of birth of our first child, Malek, came, while we were preparing our tent to receive him, the place next door was bombed. Huda saw the remains, she lost consciousness, Dr. Ghassan requested an emergency delivery, Malek, our first child, died, I cried bitterly, and she entered a state of blood poisoning. All I want from you is to help me to save my family and Huda and restore my hope in life, from now on you, my family, I want to reach my goal, any donation. Help me save my family, if you can't please I just want to cry💔🥹🙏

when drawing muslim characters

yes this is about samirah al abbas and what about it

- if they’re hijabi, they won’t have their hair showing 

- obviously sometimes it slips, like if they’re not wearing an underpiece to hold it in place and it gets windy or something, but they’re not going to wear it with their hair showing

- same with their neck. please

- they’re wearing hijab? they’re wearing loose clothes now too

- they’re also going to wear full sleeved shirts and long pants

- general rule for shirt sleeves: four fingers of skin from the wrist up can show

- many hijabis also try to make sure their shirt is long enough to cover their butt, or they’re wearing really loose pants

- they’re not gonna wear anything form-fitting. please

this has been a psa from a disgruntled fan trying to find fanart that actually fits the rules of hijab

where is my bromance

[bruh-----respectfully]

hello i want new friends most preferably Muslim brothers like me here is my 'profile'

k i'm funny like my sense of humour is immaculate

i love myself and will love you too

i'm Muslim (no way 😱)

i'm born in Mauritius but then moved to England to the UAE to Kuwait to England again but this time Walsall instead of London

i am the eldest of five in a dysfunctional but loving but dysfunctional family

i am 20 years old

i love music and listen to a wide variety and generally my favourites just aren't mainstream but thankfully some are getting some widespread recognition lately

speaking of music i sing to myself all the time and will sing awfully to you, habibi 😎

i am fond of chocolate and hoodies so gift me that shit (money's good too tho)

i am always down to hug/cuddle

i write poetry tell me stop if you want you might make a good argument for me to stop but i won't

i will scream how much i appreciate you

don't expect bought gifts from me at this very moment bc financially issa struggle but baby i'll try to do awesome things for you without spending money

i simply adore the homies and will let them know just how

i am cute in the way i exist i think

my behaviour is chaotic good for the most part i think

i know the difference between turtle and tortoise

why don't you? 🤨 jk

i want to play basketball with somebody like throughout my life i gravitated towards it but didn't play it enough to see just how good i currently am and don't know where i need to improve

i'll remind u that you are loved

i will inform you about important shit

we can rant about our parents' actions that we haven't discussed with anybody else

i didn't perpetuate the 'drama' around Driver's License or shame Joshua Bassett for his looks or antagonise Sabrina Carpenter cause i choose love and i actually knew wtf was going on and wasn't a sheep who rode stuff other folks of my generation were riding for the sake of it, nor do i have an obsession with slapping my hand over my mouth all 'astonished' at stuff online in front of my peers to feel better about myself

blue is my favourite colour

i once cut a butterfly's wing by accident like literally chopped half of it off and it has hurt my heart bad

i've also made many more mistakes than that which actually have contributed so positively, or rather, i have contributed positively to myself by looking at them and realising i am human and i deserve to be loved and so i learned to have love for everybody else.

i prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi

i'm realising i don't have a formula or criteria for what makes up this profile. anyways,

i love Disney like they are my bitches but fuck the way they perpetuated orientalism with Aladdin that irks me so fucking much. anyways stream WandaVision and Candace Against the Universe on Disney+

oh and stream Infinity Train on HBO Max

oh and stream Superstore wherever

fuck Elite on Netflix it's uncalled for and unnecessary

i'm good with a camera so let's have a photoshoot baby

Monsters vs. Aliens is like my favourite DreamWorks movie after the Shrek franchise

fuck Aladdin once again

the stuff i've said may be a little all over the place but here i am. take or leave my presence :P

walk beside me bc emotional trauma is healed primarily through safe relationships and we likely share some trauma if we get along idk maybe who cares

follow my poetry page if u don't wanna be friends :P

also romantic relationships are a modern human invention which have caused tons of sadness and identity crises for no reason

yeah there's plenty more ideas where that⬆️ came from

[bruh-----respectfully]

😭😭😭😭 i had a dream i accidentally posted a dick pic to my sc story helppp

[yo-its-matt]

what is it about me sitting in my little corner of the Internet and saying “I actually don’t hate myself as an adult now and I want to be nice to people and that’s my entire thing” that makes these anons start foaming at the mouth

[yo-its-matt]

I’ll be perfectly honest, I’ve spent the better part of a decade wishing I weren’t fucking alive and beating depression off with a caveman’s wooden club. If I get to a point in my adult life after all that shit where I can finally say “I don’t want to see myself dead anymore, I like who I am” and you have the gall to tell me I have too much self confidence now, I’m gonna take the club I killed my depression with and I’m gonna start beating you with it

[yo-its-matt]

Basically,

[yo-its-matt]

The really nice thing about how this post has aged is that the notes are filled with similar stories of people coming to terms with loving themselves over time, unlearning the shitty self deprecating joke-but-not-joke mentality we’re currently seeing others struggle to leave behind on the ol’ bird app.

People will add their experiences, even to this day, and it’ll be so out of the blue for me every time it happens, but faith-restoring nevertheless. Keep up the good work y’all, I’m proud of ya.

[bruh-----respectfully]

i only can recall watching TV regularly in the UAE, Kuwait and England but has anybody ever watched a show and when they found out that it was Canadian they were like "of COURSE it's Canadian smh"? i felt this way about Tupu, Martha Speaks, The Magic School Bus, Dinosaur Train, Growing Up Creepie and others. i guess i felt this way because lots of these shows presented some nice diversity and/or a nice educational aspect and filled with lots of Respect™? idk Canada does radiate a lot of Respectful Vibes, right?

i also think i've gotten a similar feeling when finding media to be European (other than the UK). i think i've even guessed it beforehand on occasion. like Tupu again, Rekkit Rabbit, Matt's Monsters, Arthur and the Invisibles.

i must note i don't mean to erase the Singaporean origin of Dinosaur Train. Sparky Animation is a Singapore animated content company which provided animation for the show. much appreciation for that. wait as i'm typing this rn i'm remembering that Big City Greens has an episode that has a gag making a point about people shoving material over to Asian countries to have the show animated???

k i just researched this shit and outsourcing of animation has become very widespread and it's been a thing since the 60s. ain't it wild how many American folks may have grown up watching cartoons animated by Asian people and were still taught racism against Asians by people and other media they saw on TV???

also anybody viewing this know more about outsourcing of animation, particularly Western companies hiring Asian companies, that they can tell me?
