From PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving) of Alabama: https://www.instagram.com/p/DanMdMZmk8N/?img_index=1 We've been relatively quiet on social media lately — which generally means that we're busier than ever behind the scenes. In the last two weeks we've been deaking with several urgent and emergent cases — cats facing euthanasia because their owner passed, a tiny kitten with twisted front legs, a heartworm+ dog (despite being closed to dog intakes), several kittens with severe upper respiratory infections, a kitten with such severe internal injuries that a compassionate goodbye was the kindest gift we could give, a laboring mama cat in apparent distress, and the list goes on. We haven't even had a chance to introduce most of these babies yet because we've been scrambling to coordinate rescues, line up fosters, get everyone vetted, deal with unexpected emergency vet trips, keep supplies stocked and distributed, provide the daily hands-on care for our own dozens of fosters, and so much more. We are just a small, 2-person run rescue, and juggling the 24/7 responsibilities of rescue life along with our own spouses, kids, households, and the tasks of every day life is…..a lot. On top of that, rescue comes with a steep price tag and we are constantly struggling to figure out how to pay for the care of all of these sweet souls. One of our supporters reached out yesterday with a generous offer: they'll match up to $100 in donations. If we raise the full $200, that covers standard vetting — deworming, flea treatment, rabies and FVRCP vaccines, and spay/neuter — for one cat. Just yesterday we took in a bonded pair whose owner had passed away, and they were facing euthanasia. Raising the funds to cover care for even one of them would mean so much. If you're able to help, you can donate via PayPal, Venmo, through the “donate link” on our Facebook and Instagram profiles, directly to one of our partner vets, or by check. Every dollar gets matched up to $100, so it goes twice as far right now. In the midst of kitten season, that is a tremendous blessing. Thank you for your support, always.❤️

book review for The Obelisk Gate (Broken Earth no.2) by N.K. Jemisin featuring animals song: CONTROL by SIIICKBRAIN https://open.qobuz.com/track/396272518

4/5 NO spoiler review The world building is so good, I really love the world, despite how just disgustingly BLEAK it is. My favourite games of all time are Dark Souls and Corpse Party, two of the darkest, depressing, despairing, horrible, sad ending shit of all time, and I love that here. Like Dark Souls it's almost like there's no point in going on in this world, it is so broken. While the magic system is incredibly interesting, it is also stupid hard to visualise (maybe on purpose? idk, but we will finally be on the same level as the readers who can't see things in their brains lol) Like if there's something happening with them using their magic, we have all this.. pseudo-scientific jargon for all the magic shit going on that is very hard to remember what it meant, and visualise, and it's like, is the author a genius and I can't understand or is it a bunch of bullshit? I can't fucking tell. There's all this stuff about threads, and falling up, and talking pieces of iron, and etc etc and it's just I can't tell if I need more or less details lmao

I can make a whole essay on in world swear words but all I will say is why do they say things like "what the rust" (which sounds stupid if you ask me LMAO) while at the same time they will also say "what the fuck"? If "rust" had replaced "fuck" it would've made much, much more sense and I wouldn't care, but having both the words used in the exact same way confuses me on how severe a curse word "rust" is supposed to be, is it like a second version of "fuck" or is it more of a "frick"? When someone says "I'm going to rusting kill you." it just sounds so fucking stupid LMAOOO

The characters continue to not be very bright. I already bitched about Essun's main problem in my short review of the last book, but it continues here, and Alabaster being intentionally vague about what he wants Essun to do for NO reason other than to have the main character and the reader in the dark until the very last moment when Essun figures out what he's been saying at the perfect moment when she needs to is incredibly annoying and I don't think is good writing (for lack of better words?) It happens constantly, he refuses to tell her shit straight, despite DESPERATELY needing her to understand something, and she won't understand until RIGHT when she needs to. Like girl, we don't need that to happen every single time On that note, way too often there is shit that is said with absolutely 0 context or explanation that the reader is apparently supposed to just understand. "The implications of what the stone eater has just done." Even with context, that line makes no fucking sense, but we are supposed to understand it.. somehow. Which brings to some telling not showing, or rather, refusal to tell OR show. One chapter, Nassun does… something. Who knows what? Author refused to type it. "In a span of three breaths" and everyone is dead. Books have words for a reason, fucking tell us something holy shit. Sometimes I feel like these books are just a way for the author to show just how smart or clever they are and it's more of showing how annoying they can be lol

On the subject of the characters. I really, again, love the world, I just wish the characters were more enjoyable to follow. I understand when/if a character isn't supposed to be likeable, but if they aren't likeable then they need something else to make them worthwhile to read about, and I just really don't feel that here to be honest. I don't even understand the motivations of Essun anymore, if she even has any.

In conclusion, I really like it, and the last book will be a 5 star if everyone dies horribly.

Over the past few days, I asked for your help to cover Eid expenses and to buy medication for my parents. Yesterday, we experienced a very nearby airstrike that caused significant damage, including damage to our tent.

We are living with fear every moment. Every minute feels uncertain, and the war has never truly ended. The situation continues to worsen, and I could lose my life at any moment.Please do not forget my family and loved ones. Any support you can provide, even to help us repair the damage, would mean so much to us. We urgently need your help.These are some photos showing the damage and the area that was bombed.

[mohammedwael-gaza00]

I am Mohammed, I live in the northern besieged Gaza Strip, I am 21 years old, I have always tried to create a beautiful future for myself in which I achieve all my wishes. I had ambitions and dreams, but they evaporated because of the war, but I still want to achieve them despite the siege. During the war, I lost many things, including my university, my dreams, my job, and some friends. Despite that, I still want to achieve my dreams and ambitions. I want to rebuild my life again, so please help me in that and rebuild my life. Therefore,

please donate as much as you can because that helps me a lot. If you cannot donate, tell people about my suffering.

Help Us Survive the Winter: A Desperate Plea for Sela and Our Future 💔🌧️🙏

The silence of a stalled campaign is a different kind of cold. As donations have dried up, the desperation in our tent has grown. I am writing this with a heavy heart, reaching out to anyone who can hear our plea. My family is at a breaking point, and we need your kindness now more than ever.

### Sela Cannot Wait Any Longer 😞🥺

My little sister, Sela, is only two years old. She has been fighting severe malnutrition, and though she is starting to recover, she is still so tiny and fragile.

Now, the freezing winter rains have become our greatest enemy. Our tent is badly torn, and every storm brings a flood inside. Our blankets and clothes are constantly soaked, and I watch Sela shiver uncontrollably in the bitter cold. I hold her to my chest to keep her warm, but I am terrified that the cold will take her from me before the hunger does.

Your donations go directly toward a sturdy, waterproof tent and the nutrition Sela needs to stay alive.

A Career Sold for a Crust of Bread 💻🚫

The war has stripped us of everything. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering and have professional experience, but the starvation became so extreme that I was forced to sell my laptop just to feed my family. It was a devastating choice. Now, I am stuck in a cycle of survival that leaves no room for hope:

I spend my days carrying heavy water containers across ruins.

I spend my nights trying to start fires just to keep us from freezing.

I have no way to work, no way to study, and no way to pull my family out of this nightmare.

How Your Donation Changes Everything 💸🤲

I have launched a new campaign with a trusted friend after my previous one was unfortunately banned. Every dollar donated is a brick in the wall of our protection. We urgently need funds for:

Emergency Shelter & Food: To keep Sela dry, warm, and fed.

A New Laptop & Internet: To replace the one I sold so I can apply for remote software or data entry roles and provide for my family myself.

Medical Care: To ensure Sela’s recovery from malnutrition continues.

Please, if you can find it in your heart, donate today. Even the smallest amount is a miracle for us. If you cannot donate, please share this post—your voice might reach the one person who can help us survive.

From a Computer Engineer to Fighting for Survival: Please Do Not Scroll Past My Urgent Appeal 🥺💔

Before this crisis, I was a Computer Engineering graduate from the Islamic University of Gaza. I had a house, a car, a promising career, and a life full of dreams. Now, I am a brother carrying the heavy responsibility of keeping my entire family alive.

I sacrificed absolutely everything before turning to this campaign. I spent my entire life savings and sold every single thing I owned, including my laptop. Out of pure desperation to feed my family, I took a grueling heavy-lifting job that my body couldn't handle. My back broke under the weight, leaving me hospitalized for an entire month.

Today, I am broken and in agonizing pain inside a tent, unable to even stand up on my own feet.

I feel completely helpless because my campaign is moving extremely slow—it doesn't even cover the cost of basic food for my family right now. We are starving, and the slow support is leaving us stranded on the brink of survival.

Please, do not look away from our agony. Your donations are our only way to eat and stay safe. If you cannot donate, please share my story. You are truly our last remaining hope 🙏😭🥀💔😔

My goal today is not to raise hundreds of dollars, but to find only one person who can donate $10. If you were that person, you would change my whole family day.

[qusayxxalkalili01]

My name is Qusai, I was born in Gaza and I am 16 years old. The war came and I was in the third preparation and I could not complete my studies. I had a house and a place to live in, but unfortunately it has been completely destroyed and our area is subjected to constant warnings and displacement of the population. I do not have any source of income. My father is unemployed after we had a bird shop where we rely on a source of income, but it is destroyed because of the war and we can hardly buy expensive food and because of famine and lack of money, we cannot manage ourselves with our simplest daily needs, so I hope you stand by my family and help make our lives better and make sure that no matter how much it is, no matter what it makes us happy and helps us make our lives better

Helping for Qusay to make a better life

Hello 🙋

My name is Maram, I am 25 years old from Gaza. I dreamed of a peaceful life, spending my life with my husband and my three children... but the war turned this dream into an impossible one 💔😭. We lived through this genocide with all its painful details and we are still suffering from it😭. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in northern Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Gaza Strip. After repairing a small room in our destroyed house, we began to live there and start over. Unfortunately, the war came back, and it was even stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter or source of income. We have used up all our savings during the war. I know I created my campaign very late, but that's because I have no other means to help my family 🙏. I am completely confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these tough circumstances 😔.

I know how painful and frustrating it is to start over from scratch, but I hope to get any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

Help Maram and Her Family Rebuild Their Lives

My name is Maram, a Palestinian woman from Gaza. I am 26 years old and a mother of three children: Malik (8 years old), Ibrahim (6 years old

So, please, donate to my campaign, even if it's a small amount—it will have a big impact on us 🥺. May God bless you, my friend 🥰❤️.
