Three days ago, this beautiful baby girl (masa) was born. Her name signifies high value and beauty, and it suits her perfectly, for she is very beautiful and dear to all our hearts. She is my brother's second daughter, Iman's younger sister.
Despite the immense joy that has filled our hearts and the delight we feel at the arrival of this new member of our family, we are deeply saddened by the situation of this child and how she will grow up and live her life in Gaza, which is facing genocide.
Gaza is not safe, and this child was born in the worst place in the world. It's not her fault that she's a child who doesn't understand or feel anything, but she was born in Gaza. This is not easy at all. Here, formula, diapers, and all baby supplies are incredibly expensive, even more so than food and drink, due to their scarcity.
I implore you to support me, my family, and this beautiful child who survived a genocide. Please give this child a gift; consider her one of your own. She deserves it just like any other child in the world. Please donate now.
Please help Nader's family to raise the funds they need to support his young niece! Please help them to provide her with all the comfort and care that every infant deserves. <3
Help Nader! This is a beautiful and bittersweet moment, he needs support more than ever for supplies to help keep the baby healthy. She’s only a few days old.
Despite all these shares, not a single person has donated. This post has been shared by over 200 people and not one has donated. Please, please help us and donate now, please.
hey can everyone do me a favor and put in the tags why they chose their name? even if you don't go by a chosen name irl, you can put why you chose your online name.
Forced to Rebuild From Zero: A Father’s Plea to Protect His Children in Gaza 💔
We have been forced to rebuild our lives from the ashes so many times that I have lost count. Do not mistake this for temporary displacement. Do not insult our agony by calling it a "fresh start." This is not a new chapter; it is a brutal, exhausting fight to stay alive.
Again, I was forced to flee with my children and rebuild our lives from zero. Every time we move, I try to convince my children that the next place will finally be safer. Better. Permanent. And every time, we end up surrounded by rubble, fear, freezing nights, insects, rats, and uncertainty. 🏚️
I am a Palestinian father from Gaza. I am not asking for luxury. I am not asking for comfort. I am only asking for the basic human right to protect my children.
Today, as you can see in the photos, we moved once again into a damaged apartment because it was the only shelter we could find. The place is unsafe and barely livable.
It urgently needs:
Wood and plastic sheeting to close exposed areas 🪵🪟
Basic repairs to make it structurally safer
Mattresses and essential supplies 🛏️
Protection from weather, insects, rats, and disease 🪰⛈️
My children are already suffering from insect bites, skin irritation, exhaustion, and the trauma of constant displacement.
I swear to you — we have nothing left except the kindness of strangers. Here in Gaza, nobody can survive alone anymore. No savings. No stability. No safe shelter for my children.
Right now, I urgently need to raise $1,000 to make this damaged shelter barely safe enough for my children to sleep in.
Current Status: $10,857
Immediate Goal: $11,857 🎯
Our GoFundMe campaign has been stuck at $10,857 for five days with no donations (as of May 20). These donations have been helping meet the basic needs of my extended family of seven since November 10, 2024. I am now appealing to you for help.
Even the smallest donation or share could help us survive and create one safe corner for my family. I will continue sharing transparent updates so every supporter can see exactly how their help is used.

🤡🎶💖🤩⛔ this is scout hi. the second to last emojee i want to hear the opposite too, whos your Least favorite to write. love you
🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?
bwuh. I do think I am funny but I am often not writing with Humor in mind. I still think "wei wuxian thinks, briefly, about simply just killing himself again" is funny in sort of a horrible and morbid way, even tho that's not the intention of the line
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
I can't listen to music with vocals that I understand while I write because it will distract me but I can't Not listen to anything because then the outside sounds will distract me, so I have a playlist that is all instrumentals and songs that are not in english. I also am often writing things in snippets in the notes app of my phone when they come to me, and thus am not listening to Anything. its only in like a formal sit down long writing sesh that the playlist comes out. you'll be pleased to know a song from the malignant soundtrack has made it on there recently
💖 What made you start writing?
oh gosh. I don't even remember, I have loved it for so long. but I certainly know that I Keep writing because it is the clearest and most honest way I know to express myself. I have always been very eloquent, I love words, but we know that I have a hard time being earnest and tender. writing gives me the opportunity for distance and time that cannot be gained verbally. I love the puzzle of working out just the right way to express something specific, I am obsessed with syntax and vocabulary. writing is problem solving, and I Love problem solving. this is also why I love to edit. I also Hate to be misunderstood, and writing specifically offers me the ability to be as clear as physically possible. and in the terms of narrative writing and fanfiction, it is so often so much easier to give a feeling or an experience to a character, than it is to express it via myself. my goal with art is always to invite other people into a feeling with me, and that is the easiest for me to do in writing. I also think that of the arts I practice in, I am certainly Best at writing, and it does feel nice to know I am consistently Good at something, in a way I don't feel is true with painting, for example. language and grammar and words and writing have Rules that I can understand, there is a logical structure that I can both follow and be talented enough to break. I also learned to read and write Very Very late, and ironically I think that "discovering" writing was a sort of relief
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
JIANG CHENG as the grief and anger guy I love to write jiang cheng. his speaking voice is also the easiest for me to capture. I hate writing dialogue but I can get into his voice fairly easily. don't read too much into this. I wouldn't say that I actively Dislike writing wen ning I just find it difficult to get into his voice. I think he goes through so many wildly different stages in the story and is so different depending on who he is interacting with that I find it very hard to capture even tho he is dear to me. he also has such a specific way of speaking and behaving that its glaringly obvious when you get it wrong
⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?
a heaven so sweet you don't have to die for it young Notoriously abandoned
