“The trouble is that, for women, being “nice” often translates into putting up with things we should never put up with. How many times has some creep sat uncomfortably close to me on the bus and stared me down, yet I’m too afraid to just get up and move, lest I offend him? We smile when we’re harassed on the street or hit on by jerks. We laugh at sexist jokes. We learn that when we have strong opinions, we’ll be called bitches and that if we get angry, we’ll be called hysterical. When we say what we want, we’re called pushy or aggressive. Part of learning “ladylike” behavior is about learning to smile politely when someone is being crude. Femininity has long been attached to passivity and to being docile. Men fight, women giggle and fume silently.”

it sort of creeps me out that TRAs don’t just want JKR to be evil. like, they NEED it to be true. i’m not even saying the woman’s a saint or that i agree with everything she’s said and done, but there are so many other male celebrities that have been outwardly anti-trans or made transphobic jokes and are undeniably infinitely worse people…radio silence. maybe it gets an article on some stupid “kweer news” website and they get shit on for like a week, if even.
like the richest man in the fucking world is ACTUALLY a white supremacist that claimed “the woke mind virus” infected his estranged trans child, yet you don’t see trans people complain about elon musk A FRACTION as much as they do JK Rowling, who is apparently the number one investor of the alleged trans genocide because she cares about protecting female only spaces and has an unhealthy twitter addiction. okay. and i’m supposed to believe this isn’t a community built on misogyny. right.
My name is Adham, and before the war, I lived a simple but happy life. I worked as a driver with my own car, earning an honest living by taking people where they needed to go. It wasn't a luxurious life, but it was enough. I was proud that I could provide for myself and look toward the future with hope.
Shortly before the war began, I got married. My wife and I dreamed of building a peaceful life together, but those dreams were shattered almost overnight.
The war took everything from us. Our home was destroyed, and the car that was my only source of income was lost. In a matter of days, I went from being able to support my family to having nothing.
Today, my wife and I live in a tent. Even the small piece of land where our tent stands is not free, and the landowner asks us to pay rent every month. We struggle every day to find food, clean water, and the basic necessities of life.

As if losing everything wasn't enough, I was seriously injured during the war. A bullet struck my chest, and it still remains inside my body. I need surgery to remove it, but the operation costs far more than I could ever afford. Every day I live with pain and uncertainty, knowing that I cannot pay for the treatment I need.
I also had a fundraising campaign in the past, but unfortunately, I never received the support that was collected for me because I was deceived by the person managing the campaign. After that painful experience, I am now searching for a trustworthy person who can help me create and manage a new fundraising campaign so I can finally receive the support my family urgently needs.
I am asking for your help with humility and hope. Whether you can help by creating a fundraiser, donating, or simply sharing my story, your support could truly change our lives. Your kindness will help us cover our basic living expenses, pay the rent for the land where our tent stands, buy food and other essentials, and, most importantly, give me a chance to receive the surgery I desperately need.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story and for standing with my family during the hardest time of our lives. Your kindness gives us hope that we are not alone.
No donation is too small. If you are unable to donate, sharing my story or helping me find someone who can safely organize a fundraising campaign would mean the world to us.
I kindly ask you to support my brother, Adham, and his wife during these incredibly difficult times. They are facing severe hardship and struggling to meet even their most basic needs.
If you are able, please consider donating to Adham's fundraiser. Any amount, no matter how small, will make a real difference and help my brother and his wife get through these challenging days. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing his fundraiser with others who may be able to help.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, generosity, and prayers.
Saw some people in an anime group I'm in talking about the Inuyasha love triangle today. One thing I continue to not understand about peoples' perception of the Inuyasha and Kikyou relationship is the idea that the two of them 'falling for' the betrayal is somehow proof that they didn't trust each other or weren't right for each other. People act like Naraku preyed on their 'distrust of each other' when what he really preyed on was their shared internalized belief that no one could possibly love or understand them. That was both of their deepest insecurity, not distrust of each other specifically.
Let's look at that same logic applied to the relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome, or even Sango and Miroku. Kagome's major insecurity throughout the series is Inuyasha's lingering attachment to Kikyou. For Sango with Miroku it is often about his pervertedness or apparent unsuitability for a monogamous relationship. So what would have happened if a literal shapeshifter posed as Inuyasha and went and did something intimate with Kikyou, or the same with Miroku and some woman? You're telling me if Kagome or Sango saw their love interests doing the very thing they're fearful and insecure about, that their first thought would be 'that couldn't be him, it must be an unknown shapeshifting enemy I was previously unaware of'.
Spare me. It really reeks again of the need to invalidate Kikyou and her relationship with Inuyasha in an attempt to fluff up the relationship with Kagome. If Inuyasha and Kagome's relationship is contingent upon Kikyou being a bad, failed relationship partner I question the value of it on its own merits. Imagine dating someone whose spouse died and insisting they must have never had true feelings for that person, or the feelings must be lesser.
🥹How many times must my little girl be admitted to the intensive care unit before the world gives her a chance at life?
A 16-year-old girl has been admitted to the ICU twice due to kidney disease and needs €660 for urgent tests and treatment. What would your reaction be?
❤️ I would donate if I could.
🔁 I would share her story so it reaches someone who can help.
🙏 I would pray for her recovery
💔 I hope she finds someone to save her.
Sometimes, a life hinges on an amount that might seem small to some, but for our family, it represents the difference between continuing treatment and waiting for the condition to deteriorate
😭My daughter, Farah, has a severe renal tubular disorder that causes dangerously low potassium levels and blood acidity. The condition can lead to extreme weakness, muscle paralysis, cardiac complications, and is considered a form of chronic kidney failure. She has been admitted to the ICU twice after life-threatening cardiac episodes. Medical reports confirm that she urgently needs continuous treatment and close monitoring, but the medications and medical services she depends on are unavailable💔🥹
🆘Today, we urgently need €660 to cover:
🩺 Necessary medical tests and examinations.
📺 An imaging scan required to assess her condition.
💊 Healthcare services and necessary treatment.
Every day of delay increases the risk of her condition worsening, and we cannot bear these costs alone🥹💔
🙏 If you are able to donate, you are giving Farah a chance at treatment. If you cannot, sharing this appeal might reach someone who can help us. Thank you to everyone standing with us and praying for Farah’s recovery🌹
Note: if you would prefer to pay via paypal, you can do so here.
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #451 )✅️
Some families measure time in days; we, however, have come to measure it by our ability to secure the next step of our daughter’s treatment. There is nothing harder for any parent than watching their child in pain🙏🏻
🚨👩🏻🦼Happy Disability Pride Month! 🤍✨As we celebrate this special month, I am reaching out to your kind hearts as a mother. My beautiful little girl is a child with special needs—she is my ultimate source of pride and joy, fighting her battles every day with the sweetest smile.To help her get the medical care, therapies, and support she needs to thrive, we are raising funds.🌹🇵🇸🤍👩🏻🦼
I reached out to Wesal today because I hadn't heard from her in a couple of days, which doesn't happen often, and she brought me this alarming news. Farah is back in the hospital:
"Farah had to undergo an urgent procedure and remains in the hospital. Her condition deteriorated—her potassium levels dropped to 2.2—forcing us to keep her in the hospital to receive intravenous potassium."
These are extremely low levels of potassium, putting Farah at risk of cardiac arrest. Intravenous supplementation of potassium must be done slowly - going too fast also endangers one's heart. This means Farah has to stay at the hospital, which, for a child like her, is very distressing. It is distressing for Wesal too.
"I feel like I am the one who will collapse to the ground, dead. I simply don't have the energy left; I am not a superhuman robot—I am a human being with limited stamina. The strain of standing, the constant vigilance and caution, and the need to monitor the IV drip—watching it fall drop by drop because the flow rate cannot be increased without risking adverse effects on the heart—have all taken their toll."
This is the second time that Farah has been admitted to hospital in a very short time. It is very costly, but there is no other option. The potassium supplements that Farah should be receiving have been unavailable for months now. We must keep Farah alive so she can be evacuated by the WHO when the opportunity arises.
Please donate if you are able, and share this post! Farah needs us!
"I'm afraid things will get to the point where I can't even buy a banana or a chicken breast for my daughter, mother, or father. I cry and say, "Oh God, please let the humanitarians continue to support us and donate. I won't even be able to afford filtered water without them.""
Wesal and I are both grateful for every single donation and every single reblog. ❤️
tagging for reach, I'm sorry to bother you once again, but please share and ask your friends to share as well, thank you <3 (let me know if you don't want me to tag you anymore, apologies for any multiple tags)

🩷There is a little girl waiting not for a gift... but for a chance at life. 💔From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who donated, shared, or prayed for my daughter. 🤍🫂🇵🇸
🙏🏻I am exhausted from the endless hospital visits. So far, we have only been able to raise $65 toward the cost of the essential medical tests, and we still need $590 to complete them.💔😭
😭🙏🏻 Please, help my little daughter… her condition is urgent, and donations are still very low.All I wish for is her recovery. Even a small donation can make a big difference. Please don’t wait—donate now and share our appeal. 🙏🏻🤍
💔 My daughter’s life cannot wait… the ICU bed cannot wait. My daughter is lying in intensive care, fighting kidney failure while also living with autism and disability. But medical care alone is not enough to save her — she urgently needs tests, medication, and treatment that we cannot afford.
I am an exhausted mother fighting every single day to keep my little girl alive. Please don’t leave us alone in this battle. Every donation and every share can give her a chance to receive the care she desperately needs. 🙏🏻💔
The thing is that sex scenes actually are incredible ways to explore character. People are at their most vulnerable during sex! The way they have sex says a lot of very interesting things about their desires, obviously, but also their psychology, their vulnerabilities, their hopes and fears, etc. It is completely insane to me to think that sex scenes have no value other than to sexually excite the audience. And even if their only value is to sexual excite the audience - SO WHAT?? A movie is supposed to excite and entertain you! Grow up!!!
