This Is Extremely Painful

not to sound corny but the textile arts make me feel connected to the world around me. it's so intentional and deliberate and when i sit and do it, i think a lot about how many other women that came before me used to do it, how many hands have used the same supplies i am using, and how many other people might be doing the same thing as me all across the world right now

don’t get distracted. free palestine. do your daily clicks. keep donating esims.

One of the grossest things about this watcher controversy to me is that they BUILT so much of their channel based on their fans. The ghost stories at the beginning of ghost files, the stories for are you scared and too many spirits....not to mention that their original base of viewers followed them to the new channel based on the good will they had built up at BuzzFeed. It feels like they're saying thanks for all the content and passion and then slamming the door in everyone's faces.

do you ever feel like you're being left behind?

rapidly approaching my mid twenties has made me think of my position in this life. still living at home, still single, still working in a job that requires no real skill, all these things I've done in my teenage years of studying hard, getting good grades to get myself out there, get an upper hand and here I am.

having a place on my own is too expensive, not feeling like anyone is capable of loving you for who you are, not feeling like I can take the plunge and go for a job I'd be passionate about.

there's nothing in my life that spurs interest, I wake up, go to work, come home, sleep. day in, day out. its a never ending cycle that I can't seem to break out of.

I've been finding myself falling into longer disassociative episodes more often, because I simply can't find any reason to be in my own body and mind because life is so mind numbingly boring.

maybe I should move out, maybe I should date, maybe I should change jobs, maybe I should get back into my old hobbies... maybe.

I got art block what should I do

Sometimes you stress yourself out to the point of tears and then u have to coax urself off the ledge by reminding urself that nothing is ever that fucking serious . It works out how it works out the point is we put in the effort

i cant wait (<-lie) for it to get cold as fuckk so i can finally start dressing while every other aspect of my life noticeably worsens for several dark months

Subject: Urgent Help Needed – Your Support Can Make a Difference

Hello, my friend. I hope this message finds you well. 🙏

I am writing to you with a heavy heart and an urgent request for your help. My family is in a perilous situation due to the ongoing war and the famine we have endured for more than ten months. We are facing immense challenges, So please read my story as if I were a member of your family, if my family is your family.🥺

I'm Ola, a graduate student from the Faculty of Science at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, Palestine. I'm dedicated and passionate about becoming a good researcher and teacher.

Unexpectedly, after October 7th, my life took a drastic turn with the commencement of the cruel war on Gaza, transforming me from a passionate student into a person struggling for survival. 🥺

I have created a campaign to help my family rebuild their lives and meet our basic needs for food, drink, and other essentials in these harsh conditions. This will also help me continue my education. At this critical moment, I implore you to share my story with your network, both offline and on social media platforms. Your advocacy is vital to our success.

All I am asking for is your support. You can assist us by sharing/reblogging the pinned post on my page and/or writing a post about my campaign. This would greatly help us reach more potential supporters, and I would be very grateful if you could share the campaign link with your friends and family via email or other social media platforms. ❤️

I sincerely hope you can empathize with our dire situation and consider supporting us. Please be assured that any help brings us closer to our goal, and no matter how small your donation might be, it will make a significant difference in my family's lives.

I would appreciate it if you could follow me to stay updated, as I will always need your help. 💔

I met this nice girl through my college friend. She's my friend's childhood best friend and I had heard so much about her so I was really excited to finally meet her. The three of us hung out at a stupid school-sponsored event into the late hours of the night, drinking soda and eating pizza and getting to know each other. At the end of it, she entered into a raffle and ended up winning free tickets to Disneyland. We celebrated and parted ways. It was the highlight of that semester.

A few months later, Israel began dropping bombs on her family home. I watched from afar as her entire life fell apart and her family was displaced and killed. Every time I asked how she was doing, she was doing bad.

In Palestine, as in a lot of places in the world, it is shameful to ask for money. A little bit after the war began, I passed a message along to her family offering to help raise funds for their evacuation, but they declined saying that they didn't want pity from anyone. Now it seems like they're running out of options.

My friend has already lost so much so please spare her the additional indignity of asking for help and not receiving it. I can't imagine how soul crushing it would be to do something you believe to be shameful and for your effort to go to waste.

Their goal is only $5000 and they've already raised ~$820, I don't see why we can't raise the full amount within the next week.

Donate to Help 12 People in my Family Survive in Gaza, organized by Noura Elkhatib

For nearly a year, my family in Gaza has been forced to move from one place… Noura Elkhatib needs your support for Help 12 People in my Fami

Verified by the fact that this is literally my IRL. DM me if u wanna see her Instagram or other contact info proving she's real. Tumblr is a rather unsafe place for Palestinians so I'd rather not publicize all her personal info but I've been pretty careful with the fundraisers I boost on this blog so I hope you can trust me here.
