Hey, I have to buy a program for one of my school finals and that’s not really something I can afford right now. I’ve got like 10 spare dollars a month at this point and the program is 60 bucks. So if any of you would be willing to chip in a few bucks to help me buy my simternship program for my class final I’d be very very grateful.

you forgot the best part tho

(via @butchmuppet)

[chilewithcarnage]

no lie, the second half of this post really helped me put a different perspective on my life and greatly the decreased the anxiety i have about my life to come

[spudislander]

It has brought me so much peace and progress to think of myself in the future as another, different person that I really care about. I think this is what people mean when they say to love yourself - not as in blind affection for yourself, but as in actual, active, material acts of love and support for yourself.

I do my best to live in today, and mostly focus on what I need to do to get by - but I try to put time and effort aside for my future self when I can, and take care of them like a good parent would. I try to give parts of my day away to them when they need it, like a good friend would. I try to teach and prepare them like a good mentor would. I give myself away to the person ahead of me - the person I will never be.

The good thing is, you don't need to know what to do in the future now - you need to know it in the future. You'll be best armed to face the future when it comes if you make the moments leading up to it matter, and you'll be best armed to make the present matter if you actually live in it mindfully.

Lower the bar - just get through today, but squirrel away a little something, anything really, for your future self. If you do that most days, you will eventually wake up in a capable self and a meaningful life.

Hello👋

Please take a moment to read my story.

I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.

We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.

Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, . Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.

Dear friends around the world, Greetings to you from Gaza, the land of pe… Heba Nasef needs your support for Helping Heba Family : Escaping

If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,

With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.

With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,

Heba Al-Dahdouh.

From Flour to Rubble: Ismail's Journey of Resilience Ismail, a baker from Gaza, on… Valeria V needs your support for Please Help Ismail

I'm Ismail Almughanni an entrepreneur from devastated Gaza trying his best to rebuild his Bakery 🍞🥐🥖

On a quiet morning, the aroma of freshly baked bread filled the street, signaling the start of a new day at your small bakery, a place you took immense pride in. For years, this bakery had been a haven where people from all around would gather to enjoy the warm, delicious pastries and bread that you carefully crafted. It was a symbol of hard work, a beacon of hope, and a destination for anyone seeking a taste of comfort amidst life's challenges.

But one day, in the blink of an eye, everything changed. The sounds of bombing began to shake the city, and it wasn’t long before the fires of war reached your neighborhood. There was no warning, no chance to escape or save what you could. Shells rained down on the district that housed your beloved bakery. You watched helplessly from a distance, unable to do anything.

Minutes passed like hours. When the noise finally subsided, and the thick smoke that blocked out the sun began to clear, you looked towards your cherished place. It was destroyed.

The walls that once protected you and brought you closer to your customers had collapsed, and the oven where you had kindled the flames of hope had turned to ash. Everything was shattered, broken, as if that place had never been a sanctuary of peace and comfort.

But the destruction wasn’t just physical. The pain in your heart was far greater than any material loss, a place filled with beautiful memories now reduced to rubble. The moments when you saw smiles on people’s faces as they savored your bread, the laughter that echoed through the bakery—those were now just memories, dissolving in the ashes of devastation.

As days went by, you tried to piece together the fragments, not just of the bakery but of yourself as well. You knew rebuilding wouldn’t be easy, and the wounds left by the war wouldn’t heal quickly. But you also knew that the hope you had infused into your bread would remain alive in your heart, even if the tables and chairs were destroyed, even if the bakery itself was gone.

The bakery may have been destroyed by war, but its spirit lives on in you, in everyone who tasted your bread, and in everyone who walked into that small place and found a slice of happiness.

🚨 🍉The Tent Amidst War and Hardships!!🕊

☃️🕊🚨🤶🎅👩‍🍼🧏‍♀️👨‍🍼

I am Ashraf Al-Sir I appeal to kind hearts, please help me. The rain caused the tent to flood yesterday and today, forcing my family to face the bitter cold without protection or a safe place to go. My father is 70 years old and suffers from a health crisis, and my mother suffers from diabetes. I came to help me. The rain raged inside the tent, which actually flooded and was blown away by the winds.

the midst of ongoing war, tents have become a refuge for many families who have lost their homes due to bombing and destruction. These families live in harsh conditions that offer little protection from the weather, lacking basic necessities like water and electricity. The tent, although a symbol of resilience and challenge, also reflects the state of humanitarian collapse we are experiencing.🕊🫂

No pressure. I'm not one to make massive guilt trippy posts but you know. If you can afford to slide a few bucks my way it would be really super helpful at this point because I'm between jobs.

Man the sanders sides fandom had some stupid stuff going on like 1 inch below the surface back in the day and we all just pretended we were peaceful huh

[what-even-is-thiss]

I think that places that are all positivity all the time are good places for abusive people and people that are extremely conflict averse to the point of harm to get their fingers in pies where they aren’t expected.

Like I got some serious heat for just disagreeing with people back then. There was that whole abusive discord server or something that was going on. Any criticism of Thomas or the company was met with extreme hostility.

There was a lot of good going on for sure. I loved my time in that fandom and look back on it fondly. Most of my friends and close/familiar mutuals on here are still from when I was in that fandom. But I also think it was unsustainable. All of it. That extreme level of surface positivity can’t hold.

[what-even-is-thiss]

There’s also the fact that updates just stopped. The positivity was bound to crack eventually with no updates.

Also quite frankly the quality of writing tanked after Joan left the company. Thomas is a good actor and very charismatic and good at writing one liners but a screenwriter he is not. The writing team in general seemed to lose all interest in the series. Eternal positivity can’t hold under those circumstances.

There’s also the fact that the series is most appealing to teens and a lot of us just aged out of that style of humor. We moved past disney nostalgia and teenage angst and became people with jobs or were already people with jobs whose sense of humor evolved a bit. And that’s natural. It’s normal to move on from things. But the series didn’t stay strong enough to attract more new fans. So the fandom still exists but it’s smaller and the creators are holding onto it seemingly because it’s extremely merchandisable.
