Hello. This is Mahmoud Khalaf from Gaza, currently studying in Ireland. I hope you’re doing well. I am campaigning to evacuate my family from Gaza and reunite with them in Ireland where we can build a new life in a safe place. My campaign has been vetted by El Shab Hussein and Nabulsi #151 on the Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List, as explained in the post. We are at 84% of our final fundraising goal. Could we ask you please to reblog our post titled “Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza". You are our last hope; my family’s time is running out! Help my family evacuate while they still breathe!

Donate to Death chases my family in Gaza; help me save them, organized by Mahmoud Khalaf

People say: "Family always comes First," and to that, I say: "Amen!".… Mahmoud Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza;

Help me get rid of actual vampires /j (the bug kind)

Edit: $10 donated and appreciated!

Also added my PayPal

Tw for a post entirely about bedbugs

Hi, I nor my mother have the funds to once again hire a company for heat treatment against the horrid, paranoia inducing f*ckers that continue to survive in our apartment and drink our and our cats blood.

We are, to put it lightly, at our combined mental emotional and financial limit. Quarantine put me out of employment, my mother has had major surgery within the last few months, and both of us have gotten our anxiety and paranoia levels put higher than ever bc we really thought the company we finally were able to hire would get rid of the bedbugs :)

So yeah! Im here to formally ask for help bc Im at a loss for what else to do, bc even if I were to get a job tomorrow all of that money would go to helping pay rent and utilities and food etc.

Any and all of these donations would specifically be used for 2 purposes: saving the funds to eventually hire a bedbug killer company once more, and to pay for the extra drying of clothes and linens as it can really add up when one is constantly drying their stuff to heat kill bugs so they can at least try to get decent amounts of sleep.

That being said, the estimate for a lower cost hire is at least $1000 which is. A lot that we don't have. The laundry funds aren't a priority but fyi the Laundromat we go to only costs $4 for about a 60 minute large sized dryer.

(Im not sure exactly how often ill be able to go to said Laundromat as we have one car and my mother has a varying schedule with her doctor appointments)

Anyways onto my cashapp info:

Trolls unlike the the internet trolls we talk about today were humanoid supernatural beings who lived in the forest and mountains in Nordic folklore. In Sweden they were called bergtroll or bergfolk, berg being the word for mountain in Swedish. These nature beings have been intertwined with the Nordic countries folklore and mythology for centuries with lullabies and folk songs written about them still being sung to this day. The trolls were mostly talked about in south and mid Sweden, the oral traditions stories differ a lot from today’s portrayal of the creatures. Today they are seen as clumsy, slow and grotesque looking as seen in movies like Trollhunter or John Bauer’s famous paintings as seen above. In the old farmer societies at the base of these mountains, these beings were seen as crafty and clever able to hide among humans. The trolls just like a lot of nature beings could shapeshift, mostly presenting as stunningly beautiful and well dressed. Even the iconic tail are unusual to find in the old stories. Oftentimes the stories about trolls comes from foresters, miners or hunters who had seen elegantly dressed ladies standing on mountaintops. This of course was absurd, seeing women dressed in satin and adored with expensive jewellery hike through the deep forest. This of course meant you had to be careful as not to be seen, the best way to keep the beings at a distance would be to read a prayer or signing the cross. The trolls also liked to turn into animals, so if one saw an unknown cat or dog they should tread with caution. Just like other nature beings trolls are usually invisible to humans, some tales said that all trolls owned a hat that hid them from the human gaze. Even if unseen the villagers of these farming communities could still smell the smell of cooked meat coming from their mountain holes often accompanied by shouts and yells at night. The bergtrolls lived collectively in both small and big groups, most of the time they had fun making the humans existence tumultuous. Suddenly the trolls could’ve gone down in the village to steal food and drink. There were ways for the wise protect themselves from these antics, carrying anything made of steel would keep them at a distance. Putting a sharp tool also made of steel in the barn protected the harvests and cattle. Of course these sly antics of stealing or pranks by the supernatural beings created issues for the villages but much darker things could also happen. From time to time a person would disappear out in the wilderness and this was attributed to the trolls as they were known to bergata humans and animals alike. Bergta is when the trolls would tempt a human or animal into their homes and keep them captive for different lengths of time. For a troll to be able to keep the human captive the human themselves would generally have had to make a mistake of some kind, for example accepting food from a stranger that came and offered them. People who had been bergtagna and came back talked about the beautiful homes, filled with silver, gold and gemstones, how they had been well taken care of. Even if the relationship between humans and trolls might be seen as a hostile one today, it was actually surprisingly normal for being between creatures so extremely different. It wasn’t unusual for humans and trolls to spend time together or exchange goods and services like normal human relationships. Trolls were just an easy creature to blame for all the bad things that happened to the people. It’s important that these are the beliefs of the local folklore and people’s beliefs and not the trolls out of the fables. In the fables they are portrayed as evil and extremely dangerous not at all like the nuanced perspective of the local oral tales.

What if Sophie had joined the Black Swan when they’d originally planned for her too- many years after the series takes place. How would Gisela expect Keefe to just... accept the fact that he’s spying on his best friend for his mom, is meant to be this all powerful bastard, etc. I mean... wait... would Keefe and Fitz join the Neverseen..... would BIANA join the Neverseen... WOULD DELLA JOIN THE NEVERSEEN AND LEAVE HER HUSBAND IN THE DUST-

Hear me out-

dealing with adhd tips from your local adhd mutual

ive been meaning to make this list for a while! mostly for myself to remember what works for me, and for others who may be struggling and need some tips. some of this is bolded for your convenience for those who have a hard time reading a lot of text. 

note: this is stuff that works for me, so it may not work for you and that’s okay! 

caffeine can be your friend or your enemy. caffeine is something a lot of people with adhd use to self medicate, but that doesn’t mean that you go reach for the coffee or the soda. try an herbal tea instead! my favorite brand is yogi, and the teas i drink when im out of meds and having a particularly bad adhd days are perfect energy and gingko clarity.

set alarms/reminders on your phone! if you’re like me and forget to do basic tasks like eating or whatever, setting alarms on your phone will help you remember when you cant.

give yourself treats for completing tasks. one of the biggest problems adhd people have is the lack of ability to self motivate. so get a big pack of your favorite candy or whatever and treat yourself for completing a task. even if it’s supposedly ‘easy’. 

allow yourself to take breaks, especially if you’re having a hard time doing whatever task you’re doing. self explanatory, but something i deal with a lot is getting frustrated for having rough patches during a task. take a break and clear your head.

exercise is good for the insomnia! even if it’s just a walk, you’ll be able to decompress and enjoy nature.

get a hands on hobby. others have discussed this more in length, but getting a hobby where you get to see the progress of it is beneficial and will help with the boredom.

make lists or progress bars! if you have a lot of stuff to do for the day, make a list. crossing out items off the list is extremely satisfying to me because i get to see the progress i’ve made and remember what i have to do. progress bars are great for long term stuff. i’m sure there’s apps out there for this, but i like making my own because it lets me do stuff with my hands.

don’t beat yourself up for hyperfocusing. we all do it! no need to be upset about it. if you’re trying to break a hyperfocus? try picking up a different hobby, or set an alarm for the amount of time you’ll allow yourself to have. for example, i’ve been hyperfocusing on stardew valley and to combat this i’ve been setting an alarm for an hour of playtime in the afternoon and at night and then force myself off afterwards. it works sometimes, other times no. but it’s all in the effort.

do things right away! if you have an appointment, set the appointment in the calendar as soon as you get the date and time. you gotta make a phone call? do it right now. procrastination is the enemy to adhd people and to others in general, but get into the habit of doing things as soon as you need to. and it IS a habit.

i hope this was helpful! of course this isn’t for everyone, but these tips have helped me when i needed it. also remember, most of these are habits, and habits take a while to develop into your routine! anyway love you all adhd peeps
