Blooranje - Wednesday's Child Is Full Of Woah~

this is honest to god what we should all feel like at all times

Hey shout out to every custodial/sanitation worker taking out and cleaning up literal hot garbage so that the rest of us can go about our summer days like it doesn’t exist

i am once again speaking on behalf of my friend @shimaa20sblog to help her promote her familys campaign. i have spoken to her on numerous occasions on whatsapp, and her her campaign is VERIFIED!

due to some difficulties Shima cant access the money from the gfm right now, so instead shes been fundraising via p*yp*l with help from the wonderful @halalgirlmeg !

Trying to figure out if you’re ace or aro can be so goddamn hard because it’s like, trying to find the absence of something. Imagine you’re at a pond and you want to know if there are any turtles, or fish. Say you find a turtle and you’re like “great! Now I know there are turtles.” Or a fish, now you know for sure there are fish. Or you find both, and now you know for a fact there are both turtles and fish in the pond.

But like, if you don’t find any turtles it might be that there are no turtles or maybe you’re just really shitty at looking for turtles and maybe you THINK you saw a turtle over there or maybe it was just a stick. Maybe there are only a few turtles. Maybe you need to do something special to find the turtles. Maybe a bunch of these rocks are actually turtles but you couldn’t tell them apart. Maybe there are no turtles. You have no idea. Meanwhile some people are saying “Oh there have to be turtles! You’ll find them eventually ;)” or “How many turtles have you found in your pond?” or “Try planting some vegetables at the shore to attract the turtles.” Or “Oh no! What disaster happened to your pond that there are no turtles?” And you’re just standing there wet with an empty net and a tired expression.

But whatever because whether there are turtles or fish or not your pond’s ecology works just fine without them because that’s what eco-communities do they form a system around what they have. You aren’t missing anything if you don’t have turtles you just have a pond system without turtles. If someone tried to change you by pouring a bunch of turtles into your pond it would probably fuck something up.

So you don’t have to be entirely sure. You don’t have to search every inch of the damn pond before you can decide there are probably no turtles. If you want to take the aro or ace label because you think it fits go for it. And if you do find your turtles you can rename the pond. That’s fine.

My heart breaks whenever I think of the fact that evacuation funds are at the bottom of a very long list of things Palestinians have to deal with once they do actually escape. Then it’s finding somewhere to live, then it’s finding a way to sustain themselves, then it’s dealing with the impossible weight that comes in the wake of surviving a genocide… it’s literally all so beyond our comprehension. I truly, genuinely cannot compute how some people are going through such insurmountable amounts of grief and suffering. Helping Palestinians reach the fundraisers is—literally—the least we can do.

Can't believe I'm saying this but the weather is slowly changing in Gaza again and it rained quite heavily this week. Knowing this while literally 90% of Gaza's population has been displaced, many living in makeshift tents, is a terrifying thought. Since last week's rain, many people are left without a place to stay and their belongings destroyed by the rain.

The cost of tents is between $700 and $800 which is beyond practically everyone in Gaza right now. However, the Sameer Project are crowdfunding and providing these families with tents. You can help out by either donating and/or sharing their initiative with your friends and community members.

they finally invented an assignment thats not due tomorrow. but the problem is that my body is a machine that turns assignments into assignments due tomorrow

Hello, my name is Tahani, I am 31 years old, a mother of three children, my first daughter Sanaa is 7 years old, my second Hanan is 5 years old, and my youngest daughter hla is 3 years old. We live in the southern Gaza Strip, and my other half, my husband and support, lives in the northern Gaza Strip with his elderly parents.

Since the morning of 10/7/2023, our lives have turned into hell, and every day our lives get worse. We lived the most difficult days of our lives, and we were displaced and displaced 9-10 times. The occupation forced us to flee after destroying our home and destroying our private project, and we were left with neither a home nor a job. We left without knowing where we would go, without shelter, and to this day we do not know where we will go.

We sought refuge in shelters and relatives’ homes. My children and I are currently living in tents. I kept the key to my house in the hope that we would return to it. The nightmare came true in the bombing and detonation of our house, and our dreams became displaced.

My children and I would wake up to the sound of shells, missiles and bombs. My children and I lived days of fear, and when the house next to me was bombed, we were displaced, and I did not know where I would go with the children.

We are living a real famine in the Gaza Strip. My children and I went to bed many nights without food because there was no food available. We had to eat animal and bird feed because of the lack of flour. My children were starving and I was crying over them. Hunger was killing my children. This led to malnutrition and they started to show symptoms of stomach problems, diarrhea, and the spread of skin rashes in their bodies due to the spread of viruses. There is also a lack of cleaning agents and insecticides. There is also a shortage of drinking water, and when it is provided, it is not safe to drink.

My children cry every day because they don't eat fruits, vegetables, eggs, chicken and meat and I can't stand their crying. There is also a shortage of gas that has forced us to use fire in all aspects of life such as cooking, baking and heating water for bathing. We use solid waste to light fires because of the high price of firewood and its unavailability.

My children suffered from a severe health problem. One of my children was infected with severe pneumonia and was placed in the intensive care unit for a long time. After that, my children suffered from hepatitis due to malnutrition, and I was unable to treat them due to the high prices.

A year of war has passed and winter has returned with rain, wind and severe cold. We do not have any winter clothes or blankets to keep my children warm, and I cannot buy them because of the high prices. The tent has become worn out from the sun and has begun to tear, and I cannot buy new tents to protect my children from the cold.

That's why I'm begging you to share my story and post the link to help my children stay alive.

IT'S VERY IMPORTANT 🚨

Are you just tired of these kinds of posts coming from G@za strip that ask you not to skip and to read the whole post, interact with it, and help in sharing/ reblogging it? Well, maybe you are right, but guess what? We are also tired of living in this reality for a whole 11 months.💔

And you know what? You have no idea how mentally and emotionally trying this is. Asking for help isn't easy at all, but when I think that the price will be staying alive, getting our basic needs and rebuilding our lives, it pushes me more and more to do this until we reach our goal.

This is Ola, the older sister who is trying to help her family. For 11 months until now, we have been struggling to get proper food after prices increased by 15 to 20 times, struggling to have clean water for use and drinking and now we're out of them all. We are trying to survive under starvation, thirst, and poverty. So please, if you can give help to our campaign, don't hesitate.
