odysseus absolutely does present a threat to penelope if he perceives her as at all unfaithful, and i feel the unfairness of this, and i think people tend to undersell how much tension at least potentially exists between odysseus and penelope. but i'm also like. his reaction, all speculation aside, his actual reaction in the odyssey to her flirting with the suitors is delight, because he immediately ascertains that she is running a con. sorry that they're so in-sync in spite of the forces that try to drive a wedge between them, including their own misgiving hearts. sorry that they invented homophrosyne ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. I lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand , and my other eye was damaged. These were the previous wars until this 2023 war came and destroyed everything from my home and my workplace
Today, on August ,12 ,2024, in these difficult and harsh circumstances, we have a new child from us. We hope that his birth will be in a better condition than the one we are living in, in the genocide and dire circumstances💔🥺
Now we are 6 people, we are more worried about the unknown and what will happen to us and our new child. How can we be safer and protect the child from these tragic circumstances.😔
Please share as widely as possible, the situation has become more difficult now.🙏please help me

[ID: instagram video made by bees and watermelons; voiceover that says: hi there friends and family- it's sandy! today i'd like to talk about yousef. he's 19 years old- and during this rough time- he's been the sole caretaker of his family. just like you and i, he had a life before this atrocity. had lots of friends to hang out with, school, and dreams. but all those dreams came to a halt for this 19 year old, still so young and has so much life to live. a lot of people have lost their jobs because of what's been happening, but yousef has managed to work to make money to make sure his father gets his medicine and the family get what they need. sometimes he wouldn't have enough for himself to eat, so he'd go without food for days just to make sure his family is taken care of. so that is why yousef and his family need your help. at this young age, yousef should be having fun- going to school- not have to take the full responsibility of taking care of his whole family. so please donate what you can to him. let's come together as a community and save gaza. END ID]

the cost of living in gaza is ridiculously high-- families must pay for tents (and continue to need to purchase one as they are continuously displaced), firewood, food, medicine, etc. anything you may consider a simple task requires hours of labor for palestinians currently under bombardment
yousef holds the weight of the world on his shoulders- he works very hard, yet earns very little. if you are able, please consider donating to his campaign 🖤multiple family members are ill and in need of medical care. please share his story so that others may come to his aid

I'm writing this post to bring attention to the GFM campaign of @nor-famaily, a mother of five in Gaza.
Last week, Nour came very close to dying. She was out getting food for her family when a building close to their tent was bombed. Because of the injuries Nour suffered, she now has to rely more on her children, the oldest being only 13, to secure water and food for the family's survival.
If you have the means, please consider donating. Even a small donation could make a big difference!

🚨A family trapped in the Gaza Strip appeals for survival
I am Lubna Al-Sir, I am 30 years old, married to Ahmed, who is 37 years old.
We have three children: Mohamed, who is 9 years old, Hassan, who is 7, and Yazan, who is 2. We built a beautiful home to shelter our small family, but we incurred many debts and loans to make our dream house a reality.

We took nothing with us but the memories of our home, hoping to return and resume our lives. We moved to places that were supposed to be safe, but they became dangerous, and we had to keep moving from one place to another, searching for safety for our children. We’ve been displaced five times, and we still haven’t found a safe place. Now, we live in a tent 💔💔on the street.
Can you imagine children of this age having to leave their home and sleep on the street? After the withdrawal from our neighborhood, we rushed back, eager to check on our home, only to find it reduced to a pile of rubble. We didn’t know whether to mourn our house or our current
At that moment, my son Mohamed found his favorite toy. He was so happy, but he discovered it was broken. He tried to fix it, but we returned to the tent disappointed.
Currently, we have lost everything we own. We only have our children. We are trying with all our might to get them out of Gaza, to live in freedom and dignity away from war and destruction. My children deserve to continue their education, to live with dignity, to play freely, and to feel safe and secure.

I am Fidaa from Gaza. I am 29 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to preserve his family. I am married and a mother of two children, Sila, who is two years old, and a child named Muhammad Amr, 2 months old. I gave birth to him during the war and in very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital directly to the tent, and I cannot describe the extent of the suffering and difficulty of living in the tent🇵🇸💔💔
We try to live under miserable conditions in tents in Mawasi Khan Yunis, south of Gaza. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in Gaza. No food, no medicine, no clean drinking water, oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, doubts, and daily trauma due to the loss of loved ones. In Gaza, it's not just hunger, disease and fear; Rather, it means actual death.
We have been forced to move more than 7 times, and my house has been completely destroyed, and I cannot provide enough milk, diapers, medicines, and vitamins for my children.💔🍉🇵🇸😭
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I strongly and humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my children, by getting us out of Gaza. The situation in Gaza has become unbearable due to slow death as a result of hunger, thirst, displacement, the spread of diseases and continuous bombing.🍉🇵🇸💔
The past months have been full of hell and horror. This war has gone on for too long, and our mental health and lives are constantly at risk. We have reached a point where there is no hope anymore in Gaza, as if we are waiting for death. Even if a ceasefire is reached, the devastation in Gaza in all its forms cannot be quickly repaired
Please help me and my children to get us out of genocide🍉🇵🇸💔
Your help will contribute greatly to alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.💔💔
I will be forever grateful for your kind assistance in this difficult time🇵🇸🇵🇸
this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
everyone needs to go read this entire article, the reports from both whistleblowers and prisoners are absolutely harrowing. its reported medical procedures (including at least one amputation) are being performed by under qualified staff, prisoners are not allowed to speak or move, and people in the hospital ward are cuffed to their beds in only diapers and fed through straws. satellite imaging of sde teiman from september 2023 vs march 2024 shows more than 100 structures have been added to the area of the military base/prison camp. cnn geolocated the leaked pictures (shown above and in the article) and determined they did in fact come from sde teiman, they also noted the structure holding prisoners "resembles an animal pen". it cannot be understated how fucking evil what theyre doing is.
I'm scared to say this isn't new because it feels like it takes away the gravity of the situation but like. It's so important to understand that this isn't just a response to October 7, we've had reports of Israel imprisoning and torturing Palestinions (including children) for a long time. Without charge, and trying them in military courts.
Don't let any zionist tell you this is just an angry response to October 7 the way they tell you that bombing Gaza is just a response to October 7.
