Hello🤗❤️

I’m actually a little offended because if there were ever a male Strong Female Character

it’d be Nightwing

Isn’t that right Karen?

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

um.

i really didn't want to make this post, i hate asking for help, i hate being vulnerable, and above all, i hate feeling like i am not enough.

hi everyone. i'm bones, and i have not had health insurance since January, 2022. my forms were mailed to an address i haven't occupied since 2018, and after repeatedly calling the state's insurance marketplace multiple times, i was told "your forms are coming. be patient." by the end of the month, they still had not arrived. i couldn't pay my initial premium without my forms, and being that they never arrived, i was in a catch 22.

i called again. "just wait! we'll re-send them." they sent them to another old address, despite me updating it on the phone TWICE.

by the end of the month, my coverage had been cut off. "well, why didn't you pay?!" was the answer i was given. i've spent the last four months trying to get my coverage reinstated, only to continually be told it was my own fault for not paying--even though they're the ones that made it impossible for me to do so. finally, they said i was welcome to reapply--the only catch being that they want me to pay $800 for the months I received no coverage.

yes, you read that right. Blue Cross Blue Shield is requiring me to pay them for FOUR MONTHS OF COVERAGE I DIDN'T HAVE.

i'm at the end of my rope. i haven't had my medication, gone to therapy, treated my endometriosis, adhd, or bpd, for four months. my mental health is in absolute shambles, i'm having pain flares every week, and now i have to find almost a grand somewhere just so that i can continue getting the care i need.

on top of everything, my fiance and i are now going to have to postpone or cancel our wedding entirely to pay for this. we were already on a shoestring budget for the ceremony as things were, and now it looks like my wedding will just be the two of us signing paperwork in the city hall parking lot.

if you're able and want to help, my paypal is paypal.me/boxofbones. thank you for even reading this rambling mess. ❤️

PLEASE DO NOT THINK FOR EVEN A SECOND THAT YOUR VOICE WILL NOT HAVE AN IMPACT THIS IS LITERALLY THE BARE MINIMUM

I'm sorry for putting this in the BLM and stop Asian hate tag but in the last few days posts tagged with "Palestine" have not been showing up.

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.
