there’s absolutely something to be said about ‘booktok’ books being largely wattpad quality written erotica i’m certainly not reading them however having seen a guy on tiktok make a video like ‘all the women in your life are READING PORN’ about a book he picked up and read in his FEMALE FRIEND’S HOUSE in a tone of scandalised horror and disgust i actually don’t think men should be making those criticisms. he said he picked it up expecting a romance and was horrified it was GOONER SHIT he said specifically like ‘who are you getting your pussy wet FOR??’ in a tone of revulsion. idk man im not sure shes the weird one. i kind of wish you were dead
"a lot of books that are successful on booktok are not very good" and "people can read what they want and we need to stop being so fucking weird about women enjoying erotica" are both correct statements
I haaaaaaate it when people apply like a gamified narrative to HUMAN CONNECTION that they are in the process of forming. maybe you "fumbled" the "talking stage" because you see "fumbling" as a meaningful failure state of this "stage" towards an end goal you already have set expectations for in your mind. maybe if you applied more creative narratives to the experiences in your life (or even just let experiences be experiences) you would find less suffering in a conversation naturally petering out.
Nader lives in Gaza with his family. They have lived through bombs, destruction, hunger, thirst and illness for so long, now. Recently, he had the displeasure of experiencing an internet blackout, leaving him cut off from the rest of world. Worse even, he has nearly died today, trying to get food for his family. Israel’s attack on Gaza is relentless, so our aid must too be. Nader and his family need our aid to eat, to survive, to escape gaza, and to help his father with cancer. Please, help them.

Guys, I don't know what to say or what to do to get you to help me and donate to me and my family. We really need these donations. I forgot about the Gaza issue after the war between Israel and Iran. In addition, now Trump has announced that he wants to enter the war with Israel against Iran, along with Britain, as they have transferred their planes and warships to the Middle East. This Israeli occupation has destroyed the security and safety of the entire world. Please donate to me and my family and don't forget us. This is my request to all of you. Donate.
I don't know why or what the reason is, but we haven't received any donations since the post was created. Please, please donate to us. We need money to stay alive. Please donate to us.
The Democratic congresswoman said she plans to plead not guilty and called the case "a brazen attempt at political intimidation."
Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury and plans to plead not guilty, according to statements from the congresswoman and the U.S. attorney's office in New Jersey.
Why it matters: Acting U.S. Attorney Alina Habba said McIver is facing a three-count indictment for allegedly "forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers," and faces up to 17 years in prison if convicted.
McIver has denied the charges and said in a statement that "the facts of this case will prove I was simply doing my job and will expose these proceedings for what they are: a brazen attempt at political intimidation."
She said she plans to enter a plea of not guilty.
State of play: McIver and Reps. Rob Menendez Jr. (D-N.J.) and Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) were involved in a scuffle with law enforcement outside the Delany Hall detention facility in Newark last month.
The incident occurred as ICE officers went to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, with body camera video showing McIver elbowing an officer.
Please think of my friend Nader this holiday season
Nader is only 17 years old and has desperately been raising fund for himself and his family to seek safety after over a year of genocide in Gaza. He and his family have been displaced (9) times! an imaginable amount
-His family is number 4 on the Gaza Vetter's list
Link to his campaign
People on tumblr have helped each other in the past, please keep this same giving and charitable spirit for Nader and his family. Even the smallest amount will add up.
Please help him and his family. If you've ever wanted to pay me for the blog i've been running over the years, please send anything to Nadar's family instead. We both will appreciate it and happy holidays.
Beginning Friday the 11th, RTVS will be holding another 3-day weekend fundraising event for the people of Palestine.
It is a tragedy that Palestine is still enduring the same nightmarish conditions that they were this time last year. There has been little to no improvement in things as Israel continues to break ceasefires and block incoming aid as they try and continue their genocide. We would like to once again rally our community and as many others as we can reach to give what support we are able to to Palestine's people.
Like last year, the event will not be a traditional stream fundraiser, rather than pointing people at one donation point, we will be suggesting a number of different recipients for support. However, this year may be organized slightly differently than the way we did it last time; more information regarding that will be shared in the next few days once we confirm our plan. Overall, it's the same idea: all donations to Palestinians and aid groups will be tallied into our grand total for the event.
The all-day, all-weekend streaming event will once again feature a rotation of hosts from Radio TV Solutions putting on all kinds of events. Themed segments, classic segments, crazy gameshow-type beats, chill segments, gaming w/ Da Whole Crew and MORE await you. The event will be hosted at http://stream.rtvsfundraiser.live/. Mark your calendars, tell your friends, and GET READY!
in just a few moments we shall begin the VIRTUAL WORLD TOUR... waynes VR grab bag. gonna play a bunch of VR games i bought and never played! we are 36.6k dollars raised, lets keep up da pace!
WE NEED THE MONEY FOR THE REPAIRS MORE THAN EVER PLEASE!!!!!!
It was so hard to get the neighbor to take the pictures so we could have proof please PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!!!
I'M ON MY KNEES!!!!
Last post for transparency's sake
We need a lot of money to repair all the damage the humidity has done.
I just want us to keep a roof over our heads.
We have kids and elderly, some with chronic pain and/or disabled, it's imperative the roof doesn't fall over our heads or that we don't keep breathing in the mold.
$0/$1,500
Pay•pal K°fi
We do have a big debt too but priority is not letting the roof fall off on our heads.
Ok no, I don't want to scare anyone but between the hole on our roof I have mysterious new pain on the opposite side of my gallbladder and knowing we won't be able to make the $140 payment tomorrow is stressing me so so much, please, I'm terrified.
We are on day 3 without water, at least we still got some on the water tank and we collected a couple buckets with the rain but if things are going like last year we will have to go 6+ months with a water shortage.
And we just used our last cash to pay for computer access but my partner really wanted to check emails and apply for more jobs.
between my father getting his pay cut due to the time he had to take off due to his stroke, my mum not getting paid this month, my sister getting horribly sick and needing multiple exams and treatment, the meds, the bills, the food, the meat for the dogs and the kibble for the cats, the rent... fucking...
My sister needs uterus surgery but she won't be able to get it for at least another week. She can't go a single day without her meds, otherwise she might straight up bleed to death, but we just ran out today. If anyone could offer anything right now, it would really help her
Ibrahim Hussein and his wife, Yasmina, were married only three years ago. In January 2023 they welcomed their precious baby Maryam into the world...
Only nine months later, in October 2023, their lives were turned upside down by war and destruction in Gaza, forcing them to flee their beautiful home and to be displaced ever since.
Ibrahim's family has suffered much, even before the war. Ibrahim's father tragically died in 2014 as a result of a traffic accident, leaving Ibrahim responsible as the eldest of 7 siblings. Ibrahim's siblings are Muhammad, Hamza and Zakaria, and Israa, Ghadeer and Hadeel. Sadly, Ibrahim's sister, Ghadeer, and her husband were killed in October, leaving behind their two and a half year old son, Waseem
Waseem is now an orphan, cared for by Ibrahim and his family. Both Waseem and Maryam are infants/toddlers who are now suffering from malnourishment and disease from dirty drinking water. They have no formula, no good food of any kind, no diapers, and they are living in tents under the constant sounds of drones and bombs, and screams.
Yasmina's family members include her father, Abdullah, her mother, Yousra, her brother, Amir, and her sister Samar.
Abdullah and Yousra both need medicine for heart conditions and high blood pressure. Samar has Down's syndrome and needs much assistance with daily living and medical care.
This family has stayed together, hoping and praying every day that they could live to see another day and not see any more of their loved ones killed. They suffer each day from exposure, malnutrition, disease, and the constant threat of being bombed..
Ibrahim pleads for help to save his family from this suffering.
The funds raised by this campaign will help them to buy food, water, medicine, tents for travel when they must flee from bombs. They will also be used to pay for the expensive fees necessary to flee to Egypt.
I met Ibrahim and Yasmina through a social media campaign and project called Pass The Hat that is allied with Operation Olive Branch, a grassroots initiative that has been helping Palestinian families in need of urgent aid. Over several weeks I have gotten to know this family and now consider them some of my dearest friends.
They are in a crisis and every day grows worse for them.
Please donate as much as you can spare to get this family to safety as quickly as possible.
Thank you.

a mother of 5 children, living with my family in a tent after the war destroyed our home and everything we had. Hunger and cold have become our daily reality. My children wake up with nothing to eat, and I have no way to provide for them 😭
This is a video of my husband and I. We were running away from the place. Please donate to save my children’s lives.
We became homeless in the street
We are in desperate need of food to survive these harsh conditions. My children cry from hunger, and I feel helpless as a mother. Your support can bring us hope and relief. Every contribution, no matter how small, can save us from this unimaginable suffering 🥺💔
The Israeli occupation asked us to leave our area as soon as possible because they going to invade it by land, but we didn't leave. Then the shells rained down on us, so we quickly got out and miraculously escaped death. I can't believe I'm still alive, but the worst thing is that now we're sitting in the street and we didn't take clothes, food, or anything from our tent with us, and we don't know where to go or what to do!!! 😭
Please help us, donate, share, do anything, please.
How bad it is to sit in the street under the bombing and fear, and worse than that is that we do not have a tent now or a place to sit, and worse than that also is that we do not have food or clothes now, as we left everything in the tent and fled on our own!!!😭
Please, my family and I are in dire need of your help. Please, we are now sitting in the street and we have no place to sit. The bombing is everywhere and the weather is extremely cold. We have no clothes or food. Please, the whole world is watching us in silence. Do something, please!!!!😭
Because we didn't find a place to sit .We stayed and sat in the school tonight. I cannot describe to you how bad this feeling is. I have never lived a worse night in my life than this. It was very cold and there were rats everywhere We had no food with us.. We did not have blankets. I lived the worst night of my life yesterday!!!😭😭
Please help me by donating and share this post so everyone knows what a night we went through.🥺
Until this moment, we are sitting in the school and we have not found another place to go, and the bombing is continuing until this moment and has not stopped. There are fierce dogs here that do not stop barking, and here also rats, and the sounds of the bombing are extremely terrifying. Please do anything for us. The explosions are very violent and loud, and the situation here is extremely terrifying. !!!😭
Today, my family was displaced under heavy bombardment after a three-day siege in a tent. They left behind everything: clothes, food, and medicine. Please look at us with compassion. Do something. Participate. Protest. Donate.
A bag of flour costs $800, if available. Due to the intensity of the war, this story hasn't been covered in the media, so please be our voice. I don't want to die anonymously, please.
Now due to the rain and wind our dilapidated tent collapsed and now my family went to our neighbors tent (22 people in a 4*6 meter tent) I leave you to imagine this tragic situation
it would be cool if websites let you be an adult on them. the advertisers and payment processors need everything to be Family Friendly though and their definitions of family and friendly are absolutely fucked. but since they're in charge of the Internet now, no one is allowed to be an adult. tiktokers say things like "unalive" and "seggs" because they know death and sex are too adult for online. online is for idiot babies only now because they're easier to market to
oh im sorry you're a trans adult? super ban. you are super banned for life. you have upset Visa's feelings. Mastercard is throwing up in the corner. how could you do this to Google Ads?
