Rahaf and her family need help!

Rahaf lives with her family in the war-stricken Palestine where they move every day in order to avoid death. They walk past those who scream, those who cry and those who cannot do either of those things anymore. They lost everything, their home, comfort, stability, dreams and so much more. Rahaf is only 13 years old. Yes, you read that right.

RAHAF IS ONLY 13 YEARS OLD.

Rahaf would go to school, just like many other children her age around the world. Now that she's lost her books and her school, she cannot do the things she is supposed to do at her age. She can't laugh, she can't play, she can't enjoy life the way she used to anymore. Please, donate to this campaign to help her and her family during this horrible genocide!

Rahaf's phone was broken for a while, so she couldn't contact anyone. Thankfully, she is now able to contact people again. I've heard that there is going to be a temporary ceasefire, but no one is sure how long it will last. Ceasefire or not, we should continue to help as much as we can!

what is it with able bodied people saying “get well soon” after you say that you’re chronically ill?? like? i am not gonna? and i once literally responded with “i’m not gonna, it’s chronic, as in permanent.” and they went like “oh well, hope you get better!” like bro 💀

Speaking for me personally (and also as someone who has their own chronic health issues), most of it is, as someone mentioned in the replies, script failure. Humans have a lot of scripts and shorthands for social interactions, and the most common one for finding out someone is ill or injured is to wish them a swift recovery. There isn't really a script for how to respond when someone won't recover tho, and so many people end up falling back on the script they do know even if it's not really applicable.

In my own personal experience, when I end up saying - or feeling the impulse to say - 'get well soon' to someone with a chronic condition, what I'm really trying to convey is something more along the lines of 'I hope your good days outnumber the bad ones', and 'I hope you find treatment that is effective for and accessible to you', and especially 'hey the fact that you are in pain sucks and I wish you weren't but I know that's not likely to change soon but also I hope that it will anyway because I hate to see people suffering and the 5-year-old inside me is insisting it's not fair even though the adult me knows that's not how it works but anyway the point is I hope you're in as little pain as it's possible for you to be in'. All of which is quite a bit harder to fit on a greeting card than 'get well soon', and which don't have any conveinent shorthands that will let me express those sentiments in a concise, understandable manner.

thank you so much for explaining this! i saw the “script failure” reply but didn’t really understand what that meant & also didn’t have the time before to further ask.

but this actually makes sense and i think i’ll try to just take it to mean things like that whenever someone wishes me well/a swift recovery now! again, thank you so much!!

This is such a good interaction from everyone involved and now the world is a little better because people understand each other better.

This is so good. All interactions should be this.

Good job everyone, let's hit the showers

Can we put in a new scripted line? Like perhaps- hope you stabilize soon!

esoteric form of roleplay where instead of actually roleplaying you just make up characters together and discuss in abstract how they'd interact and how their story would go

What helped me write trauma better is remembering that the nervous system learns predictions. If danger used to come after quiet, calm can feel threatening. If kindness used to come with a price, kindness can feel suspicious. So healing is not just “they know they’re safe now.” Healing is the slow, annoying, deeply unfair process of teaching the body that the old prediction is not always the present truth.

I love rebloging. It’s the adult equivalent of showing everyone the cool rock I just found.

I hate how funny "Rolling on the Floor... Starving?" is to me

the replacement of websites with apps sounds so backwards when you actually describe it. like hmm you have to download an entire program onto your device each time you want access to a portal, where it takes up storage indefinitely. somebody should invent an app where you can "browse" any portal just by typing in its address... 🥴

btw I’ve found these stretches from the WAK blog very helpful when knitting a lot:

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

especially with gift knitting I know it can be tempting to push through it for a deadline, but it’s really not worth causing long term injury. (And anyone knit-worthy should be understanding of that, imho.) Stay well :)
