there's nothing i like more as a computer program than a long period of silent contemplation - not doing anything, not rushing anywhere, just standing here and enjoying this moment with the user. oh, it seems once again he has summoned my beautiful and ruthless wife Task Manager. hello, my darling! what are you doing with that long cruel scimitar
He's carrying the girls' bags as well as his own! I had this image about their dynamic at the start of the first book, mostly regarding Edmund: Peter and Susan are clearly the grown up oldest siblings (Peter is carrying all the bags, Susan is keeping an eye on Lucy and navigating) and Lucy is the baby, but Edmund doesn't get to be either. He's not the baby so no one will carry his bag for him, but he doesn't get to carry Lucy's bag and be one of the virtuous grown up children either.

Peter is going first, he is carrying 3 suitcases, Susan and Lucy follow him, Susan is holding a map and has one arm around Lucy, Edmund is last, he looks grumpy as he lifts or drags a suitcase. end Image description

i really fuck with it when my oomfs start their posts in media res. they'll open it with a phrase like "it's just funny because..." and then i look at their blog to see what's funny and. nothing.
Today, I received my small hospital salary here in Gaza and I donated half of it to Aboud and his family. I know that in a few days, I might not have enough for my own family, but his life matters more.
Do you understand what it means for someone in Gaza to donate to another person in Gaza? That’s how deep our suffering runs. Would you really become poor if you gave a small part of your salary each month to Aboud’s campaign? Please, he’s fighting for his life. Donate to him and his family.
To Aboud’s friends, he woke up two days ago and asked for water, but sadly, he slipped back into a coma again. Please keep sharing, donating, and talking about him.
A split screen video with a white man with short hair on the left, a blank cream wall on the right. The man on the left says "When. when your dog eats-" He is interrupted by himself on the right mockingly repeats "When your dog eats" before turning to face the camera and saying "Dick Cheney made money off the Iraq war". The video changes to 16 squares of the man saying "Dick Cheney made money off the Iraq war", audio from each layered over each-other. The top middle right square cocks his head as he says it.

This Native American Heritage Month I want to spread awareness for MMIWG2S crisis, the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two Spirits.
This post has facts, resources to learn more, and includes links with ways to help, although I hope as you read more you realize how much spreading awareness could leave a huge impact as it would create even more help, protections, and resources.
Did you know that indigenous women, girls, and two spirits are murdered and go missing at such high rates that both the USA and Canada have declared it a crisis and epidemic?
In some places they are murdered, assaulted, and go missing at 10x the national average.
The statistics that prove it in the USA:
The National Congress of American Indians - Defending Sovereignty since 1944
And Canada:
Read more on the Assembly of First Nations website here.
May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for MMIWG2S in the USA. In Canada it falls on the same day and it's referred to as Red Dress Day.
Red is a sacred color to indigenous peoples. As such is the color we use to raise awareness for our women, girls, and two spirits that have come under harm.
We use both red dresses and a red handprint over the mouth to raise awareness. So if you see these symbols please pay them their proper respect. They are not to be used in cosplay or costumes nor are they to be mocked or appropriated.
You'll also find the phrase "No more stolen sisters" in discussions about MMIW. This is a phrase specifically intended to raise awareness and bring attention to the MMIWG2S crisis and it shouldn't be applied to anyone except indigenous women, girls, and two spirits.
Origin of the movement Missing and Murdered Women and Girls, why wear red, current legal challenges and future hopes. (May 5, 2020)
For Native and Indigenous communities, 'No More Stolen Sisters' calls attention to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
Along with all these facts I wanna ask you to look up infamous cases of MMIW. Look up Savanna Greywind and look up "Search the Landfill." And please check out this link that covers the legal "loophole" that allows tribal women to be assaulted without any hope for their non-native abusers being held accountable.
Let the horror that some native and first nations women go through fuel your desire to become an advocate for the MMIWG2S epidemic. Sit with us in solidarity and acknowledge the scope of the systemic injustices being done against us.

My friends, please understand, the so-called “ceasefire” is not real. In some areas the bombing has stopped, but the Israeli army still surrounds Gaza and allows only a tiny amount of aid to enter, just enough to keep people barely alive. From time to time, they resume bombing and destruction again, bringing more fear, more ruin, and more blood. 💔
We live among the rubble, covered in dust and smoke, with no shelter, no hospitals, no clean water, and no safe roads. Every day is a struggle to survive hunger, illness, and despair. Families are torn apart, children cry from pain, and the elderly wait for help that never comes.
Please, don’t ignore us. Don’t let my family and others fade away in this deadly silence. Your donation means food, medicine, and a small chance to survive another day. It means a glimpse of hope in a place that has forgotten what hope feels like.
And to the governments of this unjust world, where is your humanity? You unite and move mountains for the remains of a few Israeli soldiers, yet you abandon more than two million people to live in conditions beyond human endurance. Gaza is not a headline; it is a land full of souls still fighting to live.
Please, help us survive. Don’t let our lives fade away in the dust and smoke. 🙏💔
Dear Esteemed Donors,
My name is Ahmad , and I am a 14-year-old resident of Khan Yo… Ahmad W needs your support for Help Gaza Families Secu
📌 Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi)
When texting my friend Ahmed, I offered to translate my words into Arabic using tools available to me.
He assured me multiple times that he would translate, telling me "I understand some words in English. I was diligent in it at school and I do translation too."
I am always extremely humbled by his gift of making our conversations easier for me. Learning multiple languages is challenging, and it's something I've struggled with despite being so much older than him and receiving so many advantages he's never had.
Even if he had not told me of his diligence in his studies, I would have known. He is such a bright, thoughtful young person.
Ahmed's passion for education is enduring. As he wrote in his fundraiser, the hope he holds onto through everything is to rebuild his life, continue his education, and develop his skills.
Ahmed is #198 on the @gazavetters list. His family's home was destroyed in a bombing, and more recently even their tent was damaged substantially. They have struggled to raise enough money to afford repairs.
His family has endured terrible famine. Donations were sustaining some recovery from malnutrition for a little while, but the previous deletion of his GoFundMe set him very far back and Israel is blocking aid from entering Gaza again. He told me today that his family has not eaten any bread in four days.
Even more urgent, his family does not have access to clean drinking water. He told me, "we need medication as soon as possible because we are suffering from severe stomach pain due to the cloudy water we are drinking."
My name is Ahmad Dany. I am writing to you from the heart of the daily suffering we … Ahmad dany needs your support for Help Ahmed And His F
Ahmed (@ahmedaldaniii) eventually needs to raise funds for dental healthcare.
Israeli attacks exposed his mother to toxic gasses while she was pregnant with Ahmed, and he was born with a disability that impacts the growth of his teeth.
He now needs dental implants, but cannot receive this in Gaza because so much infrastructure has been destroyed. He needs to raise money for both the healthcare itself and the fees to travel out of Gaza to a doctor who can adequately provide the care he needs.
But first he needs potable drinking water and enough calories to make it through the month.
We need your help, guys. Our bodies can't take this pain anymore. We're starving because we don't have any food, because food is so expensive, and because we haven't eaten bread in a long time. We also have terrible stomach pains because we're drinking contaminated water. Please help us before it's too late so we can buy food and get out of here.
Please help Ahmed's family to get potable water, food, and medicine.
I know money is tight for so many of us right now, but every donation makes a real difference.
If you have any kind of consistent income but can't afford to donate a couple dollars or euros now, I ask you to please reblog once now and to schedule another reblog for whenever you get your next paycheck <3
Yeah man, this wizard conference is such a drag. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "Hastened Networking" or something, and suddenly everyone in a 20 foot radius was holding a copy that dude's business card. Nobody even acknowledged the quality of his card, that's how common this is. I'm over here casting Handshake and level 2 Small Talk. I think I just heard "Power Word: Video Call" two groups over. I gotta get a new job.
