fell into a riverdale rabbit hole today. here are some of my favorite plot lines

[save-the-child-qais]

OH MY GOD… my baby Qais’s heart stopped tonight. I ran through darkness carrying him, screaming for help, until doctors said severe anemia from his bleeding nearly killed him again.

[save-the-child-qais]

Today we ran out of clean bandages and medicine, and I had no money left to replace them. I never imagined I would beg strangers to help me care for my child.

[save-the-child-qais]

I am begging you with everything I have left—please don’t let this happen again. Donate now, because your donation could be the only thing that keeps my baby alive.

Please donate now Gofundme

[save-the-child-qais]

The doctor told me that due to malnutrition and lack of treatment, my baby Qais has developed severe anemia. I have no money to get what he needs. Please, can you donate now so I can buy his medicine and food?

[save-the-child-qais]

Unfortunately, Qais has run out of medicine, and I cannot afford more. To everyone who helped before, I beg you again today. Your kindness kept him alive, and he still desperately needs support, please donate now.

[save-the-child-qais]

Tonight, I counted what I had left for Qais: no medicine, no clean bandages, and almost no hope. Yet I am still here, knocking on strangers’ hearts, begging someone to help my child survive, please donate now.

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

I'm crying now, I swear to God I'm exhausted and I wish I wasn't alive. Everyone has let me down, and after two years of hardship, Tumblr blocked my accounts this morning despite my extremely difficult circumstances. I swear to God I have no money, and I'm undergoing treatment for severe depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Everyone has abandoned me now. All I want is for you to follow me here on my new account. I love my friends and I can't forget them. I'm Ibrahim Abu Rukhiyeh.😭🙏😭

It seems that the Tumblr team has no other purpose than to delete, close, and attack the accounts of transgender people and Palestinians trying to survive genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

[abdalsalam-2000]

Two days ago, I was shocked to find that my blog, abdalsalam2000, had been deleted without warning and without me having done anything wrong, simply because I was asking for help from the Tumblr community. That blog was our only source of income that kept us alive in Gaza, and unfortunately, it was deleted by Tumblr employees.

[abdalsalam-2000]

In Gaza, we need at least $300 a day just to survive. After Tumblr deleted our account, this blog is all I have left. I hope you will help me by sharing this post, donating, and following this blog. Please, please help us and donate now.

Save a Palestinian dental student and her family in Gaza

Hi, I'm Tristan from the Netherlands, running this campaign on behalf of my friend Inge. This is her story:

[yixiaosuige]

gazavetters #538

[save-the-child-qais]

What I am about to say is the hardest thing I have ever written. Five days ago, three missiles struck the place where we sheltered. Screams and dust filled everything; I awoke injured in a hospital.

[save-the-child-qais]

When I regained consciousness, the first thing I did was search for my two children. My heart raced with terror as I called their names, fearing I might never hear their voices answer me again.

[save-the-child-qais]

I will never forget those who searched for me and worried when I suddenly disappeared for days. But concern alone cannot rebuild our lives. We urgently need a new tent and medicine. If my story moved you, please turn that feeling into action today.

Please donate now Gofundme

[save-the-child-qais]

I am still without shelter, moving from place to place with my children while recovering from my injuries. Every night brings new fear and uncertainty.

Please donate now help us secure a safe tent, medicine, and a small chance to rebuild our lives.

[save-the-child-qais]

Unfortunately, the bombing did not only take away our shelter; it also took away the little stability we had left. My children now ask where we will sleep tomorrow, and I have no answer. If you are able, please help us take one step away from fear and one step toward safety.

Please donate now Gofundme

[save-the-child-qais]

Every day, I open my messages hoping to find a sign that someone still cares, and every silence feels heavier than hunger, pain, or fear. The hardest part is watching baby Qais suffer while help feels farther away. Please, don't let silence decide his fate—Donate and save him.

[bashar-qazaz]

We are not just facing summer; we are living in a literal furnace here in Gaza. My four children (Hani, Diana, Bashar, and my nursing baby girl Habiba) have all contracted severe chickenpox

Imagine tiny, fragile bodies covered in painful blisters, trapped inside a suffocating tent where temperatures soar past 40°C (104°F). We have no clean water to wash them, no electricity, and not even a simple cooling fan or a battery light to tend to them during the pitch-black nights. The children scream all night from the unbearable itching and heat.

Due to the blockades, medications are extremely scarce and sold at imaginary prices that I cannot afford. I am completely penniless. Eid has passed, and we have no food, no money, and zero means of survival.

I beg you to save my children from this slow death. We desperately need immediate funds to buy their prescribed medicines, and to purchase a cooling fan and a lighting battery to ease the scorching heat burning their skin.
