They get over a thousand requests for connection a day, but their email inbox is regularly sitting at 300-500 eSims. With the bombardment of Rafah and continual internet blackouts, the need for more eSims is particularly urgent.
Even if you have already sent an eSim or donated to an eSim donation drive, there is more you can do. The team is calling for people to campaign in their communities to help spread the word about eSims and encourage donations.
You can help by printing out posters and putting them up in local businesses, on telephone poles and notice boards, or wherever people are likely to see them.

Genshin Characters LGBTQIA+ Headcanons!
Part 1 ~ Anemo Characters
Okay, so hear me out:
Demisexual
Biromantic
She isn’t looking for love, but if someone gets close enough to her, feelings may develop. I also think she’s cisgender, she does seem quite comfortable with her masculinity tho
This man is not a straight man.
Panromantic
Asexual
Polyamorous
He seems like the kinda guy who could romance anyone, but not the kinda guy to go any further with something. He’s content with some simple kisses and charming dates, regardless of his partner(s) gender(s).
Okay, I know she’s not a kid but I’d feel uncomfortable saying anything. Moving on.
I love Sucrose! Built as a main once. But that’s not the point.
Homosexual
She’s a lesbian. I originally thought of making her aroace, but then I thought, hmmmm, sorta? My thoughts are that she’s actually homoromantic and asexual, but intensely sex-positive. Remember, her field of study is the modification of life, so I think she’d like sex from a scientific perspective. Other than that, totally a lesbian.
I wonder if he’s really necessary? But he’s my kinnie so I must.
Gay
Gay
Nonbinary
That last one kinda slipped in there, whoops. So we know he’s gay, like, yeah. But I personally think he’s also nonbinary and uses He/They pronouns. We should remember that this guy was literally a wind spirit, and the only reason for his body’s appearance is because of his best friend. So he’s actually comfortable with all pronouns, but prefers he/they.
Edgy McEdgeman
Panromantic
Asexual
He just wants love. Nothing too intimate, just pure and simple tender love and care.
The coffee theory but it’s nothing to do with drugging or anything it’s just the Metatron subtly making Aziraphale aware of exactly the choice he needs to make. Coffee or death. Come back to Heaven or death. You can choose Crowley all you want but the consequences will be retribution that may destroy you both.
“Does anyone ever ask for death?”
wdym this isn't how lab rats vs mighty med went
Two of the members hated each other at first. They argued a lot and one time, they threw folded clothes at each other and the member who folded them had to come scold them. And now they keep reminding everyone how long they've known each other for. They wrote a song together where they said that "respect is a higher tier than love" and then called each other "my respect."
The smartest member of the group (one the previous two morons btw) didn't know how to tie his shoelaces until highschool. He doesn't eat seafood because he loves crabs. He's a literal geniues and he's so clumsy and such a dork (and I relate so deeply). And that body, guys, I'm telling you. This whole guy was made by a fanfic author.
Their company was near bankrupcy when they debuted. One of the members, who was getting offers from so many other companies, joined this one because he admired another member who was already a part of it. When these two met for the first time, member two was only wearing underwear and member one said "wow, thighs."
Another member came to an audition, not to audition himself but to support a friend. He was the only person from that audition round to get in. The friend did not.
Another member, who was studying to be an actor, was street cast on a bus.
One of them lost confidence and tried to leave before the debut, but another convinced him to come back, because they "needed him."
The whole industry hated them when they debuted and now they're arguably the best kpop group worldwide. (Arguably, read: argue with the wall)
(Add your own pls, I want to make a collection from this)

Thinking about being a demigod as a metaphor for neurodivergency
Thinking about demigods fighting monsters no one else can see, thinking about the mist, how mortals just can’t see it. Thinking about Mrs Dodds, and how everyone told Percy he was crazy for remembering her. How ableism and insults are just so typical in places like a high school and yet if you’re neurodivergent and remember it years after school, you’re called crazy and obsessed because “it wasn’t that bad” and “you need to move on”. How Nancy Bobofit called Percy special. How Chiron (a centaur) was the only teacher to be actually nice and understanding of Percy, since he too wasn’t a mortal. How mortals can’t see the monsters and swords, how they can’t see the struggles we face and our defense mechanisms/ways to cope. How demigods just trying to defense themselves against monsters are seen as “evil” or a threat by mortals, because they can’t see than the reason they made that thing explode was to survive, than the bump on their car wasn’t actually made on purpose, but by a monster throwing them against it. How the world is dangerous to demigods, how they always have to stay alert, how there was always something off about them growing up. How they might have known they were demigods since a young age, or if not demigods, they knew something was different about them. Like Annabeth, who kept attracting monsters and decided to run away at just 8. She knew, her father knew, her family knew. There was no point in hiding it, no point in pretending it wasn’t there, everyone could see it. Thinking about Percy, how his mom knew, and how she made sure to help Percy no matter what, how she never cared. Thinking about Leo, who didn’t know until he was a teenager, who figured out on his own, who’s childhood was traumatized by his powers, how being a demigod completely ruined what would have been a lovely childhood. Thinking about Percy’s time in school, thinking about the demigods having adhd and dyslexia, thinking about how “their brains are trained for ancient greek/latin” and how they have trouble understanding what everyone else can easily read. Sure, it’s dyslexia, but it can also be something else. Their brains are not trained for neurotypical social cues, that’s not a language their fluent in, they have their own language, which neurotypicals can’t understand. How if they tell someone they’re a demigod, they won’t believe them, and think they’re weird. How it’s not something they can mention unless around the right people (other demigods, gods, mythological creatures, or parents of demigods kids, which in this scenario, is anyone with a connection to neurodiversity). How the parents sometimes are aware their kid is a demigod (like Sally), because they know the other parent was a god, in this scenario, they’re aware of the possibility of a neurodivergent kid because they slept with a neurodivergent person. Except sometimes they don’t know the other parent is a god, they don’t know their kid is a demigod. How someone can have neurodivergent kids, who’s neurodivergency is passed down from their other parent, except the other parent is not diagnosed. How, even still the neurodiversity community, there’s still stigma and stereotypes. How they treated Nico, even if he was just like them, simply because he didn’t fit. How the more visibly demigod you are, if you’re the child of one of the big three, the more monsters you attract, the more dangerous life becomes, how the moment a demigod realizes they're a demigod, they can't hide it, they attract more monsters, there’s no turning back.
Thinking about being a demigod as a metaphor for neurodivergency
objectively speaking that was a copout. a little fix-it fic loophole so Russel didn't have to get rid of his favorite guy again. and I recognize that. but seeing as he happens to also be my favorite guy, I don't think I care
