The two are crammed into a closet. Benrey grins bashfully at Gordon, who is clutching his own hair with an anxious smile and a panicked stare. Gordon’s thought bubble reads, “So this is 7 Minutes in Heaven…” In the middle of the drawing are two blue buttons representing the player’s options for actions to choose from. The first reads, “Make out?!” while the second reads “Strangle them with a coat hanger.” End ID]
new hobby: editing the text on photos of warning labels I take
[Image 1 description: A warning sign for an overhead door. The sticker features a black icon of a door closing down on the head of a kneeling simplified figure. Above the icon is a warning symbol with the text “Warning” in all caps. Below the icon reads text that has been edited to say, “Kneel before your mechanical overlords” in all caps. Further down is text that reads, “Safety Instructions” / “An overhead door is a large heavy object that moves with the help of springs under high tension. Moving objects and springs under tension can cause serious injuries or death. For your safety and safety of others,” with the rest being cut off at the bottom of the image. End ID 1]
[Image 2 description: A warning label on the side of a black Pepsi-brand vending machine. The orange-red header of the label has a warning symbol with the text “Warning” in all caps. Below the header on a white background is text that has been edited to read “Do not tip or fuck this vending machine” in all caps. Underneath the text is a black icon of a figure lying below a vending machine that is falling on top of them with a red “no” symbol over top of it. The text continues in all caps, reading “Tipping or fucking may cause serious injury or death.” The orange-red background returns for the footer of the label, which reads, “Anti-theft device prevents obtaining free product.” End ID 2]

I never thought I would be writing this. I never thought I would be begging for help just to keep my children warm, just to feed them one more meal. But here I am, reaching out to you, because I have no other choice.
My name is Rola. I am a mother of two beautiful children, and before October 7th, we had a life filled with love and laughter. We had a home. My children had their own room, filled with their toys and drawings. We would sit together on our balcony, drinking coffee in the early morning light. We had dreams, just like any other family.
But in an instant, it was all gone.
A missile struck. The earth shook beneath us. The air filled with dust and fire. My husband and son ran, stumbling over each other in terror. I stood frozen, the ringing in my ears drowning out my own screams. Our home was shattered—windows blown out, doors ripped from their hinges. And when I looked outside, our neighbor’s house, a place that once echoed with children's laughter, was nothing but rubble and ash.
That was just the beginning.
The bombs never stopped. Every night, I held my children close as the sky rained fire. The sound of explosions mixed with the cries of mothers searching for their babies in the darkness. I covered my children, whispering words of comfort, but how do you comfort a child who is terrified of dying in their sleep?
We had to leave. We walked away from everything—our home, our memories, the warmth of our life before. My children left behind their favorite toys, their books, their safe space. Now, we have nothing.
No home.
No food.
No clean water.
No way out.
I went to buy sugar the other day. It cost $20 for just a kilo. Food is disappearing, and the little that remains is impossible to afford. Every day, I fight to find just enough to keep my children alive.
I am exhausted. I am scared. I need your help.
I never imagined I would have to beg for my family’s survival. But today, I am.
Please, if you are reading this, help us. Help me save my children. Help us find shelter, food, a way to rebuild even a small piece of the life we lost. If we ever have the chance to leave, we need support. If we are forced to stay, we need a home again.
Every donation matters. Every share helps. Every voice that speaks for us keeps hope alive.
💚 Please donate if you can. Share our story. Help us survive. 💚
Hi I am Fatima and live in London UK. I have known Rola now for appr… Fatima Rajwani needs your support for From Despair to Hope: Help us to
We don’t know if we will survive until tomorrow… Bombs are everywhere, and each missile that falls carries two tons of explosives, burning bodies completely and leaving nothing behind. Shrapnel has torn apart our fragile tent, and the streets are filled with the smell of blood. My children are crying in fear, and my sick mother is fading before my eyes.
Don't leave us alone! Donate, share, pray for us, protest—do something. At any moment, we could lose our lives.
In just a few hours, 500 of our loved ones have been martyred, and over 1,000 have been injured... and the count is still rising!🔂
I was reading the half-life wiki article on the Standard Headcrab (as you do) and there was a segment of tips for fighting them. It said they were “irritating,” which I thought would be funny if it was canonical in-universe. Like that Gordon gets so so mad when he sees one.
