What I say: Damn, that guy's hot.
What I mean: I love that facial structure. I need to study it, learn to draw it, and use it for my art. Also, I want that haircut.
Thank you to everyone who helped the Ashour family reach €40,000.
As @dlxxv-vetted-donations pointed out, the longer it takes to raise €50k, the longer this family is forced to spend the funds on their survival instead of their evacuation. We don't know when the Rafah crossing will open again, but it is imperative that they have the funds ready for when it does.
Let me reintroduce you to this young family:
The Ashour family consists of Amal, her husband and baby Maryam. You can follow Amal at @amalashuor
Before the genocide began, Amal was studying for a Masters degree in French, and Maryam was only 9 months old.
Previously, their goal was to raise €30,000 to evacuate Gaza, however they have since been violently displaced several times. Costs in Gaza have been skyrocketing - transportation, tents, rent as well as food, baby formula, diapers and hygiene products. This has forced Amal to use the funds that were meant for their evacuation.
As of last month, bombings by the occuptation forced them to flee from Rafah to Khan Younis, then to Deir al-Balah, and then west from there. Please read Amal's post explaining this situation as well as the breakdown of expenses, and why they raised their goal to €50,000.
The money they raise from this fundraiser is all they have to survive. Just think about that. Maryam is facing severe malnutrition not only due to aid being blocked from entering Gaza - with more than 1 million people forced to starve - but also because what is available is extremely expensive.
Now winter is coming, which not only brings freezing temperatures but heavy rain. There isn't sufficient shelter and illness is already rampant - and don't forget they are still under constant threat of bombings and displacement. Everyday the situation is changing faster than any of us can comprehend.
It has been about a month since I started focusing on their campaign, which had been stuck on €30,000 for some time. The fact that it took this long to raise €10k, and that there is still a long term goal of €50,000 to raise, is deeply concerning.
Please give what you can, even if it's as little as €5. These fundraisers survive thanks to several small contributions - a drop in the ocean goes a long way. For this family, your donation is a lifeline.

It amuses me greatly that the most normal day at the lab probably looked like this...
Peace be upon you. I am Umm al-Abd al-Habil. I am a woman, 58 years old, and I suffer from chronic diseases. My husband is a martyr, my son is a martyr, my son is injured, and my little daughter has a heart condition. We are displaced from northern Gaza and are currently living in a tent. Please donate the ties and help me so that I can escape from Gaza with my remaining children.
Please donate 🙏

Salam, of course I will share your fundraiser. الله يحميكم إن شاء الله
Here is the link to Umm al-Abd's GFM:
Umm al-Abd is a mother of 7. Her eldest son (Allah yarhamo), who acted as the family's breadwinner, was martyred in the genocide in November 2023. Her young daughter also has a congenital heart disease and has contracted Hepatitis A due to the unhygienic conditions in the camps within Gaza.
Currently their fundraiser is only at $9.9k/70k (CAD), which makes it very low on funds. Please donate what you can; if you don't have the means, send the link to someone who does. Reblog, and share the fundraiser with others. Let's do everything we can to get this family the help they need.
I saw a post about how Bill "isn't ACTUALLY the villain" of Gravity Falls, given his ✨tragic backstory✨. Y'all know you can be sad and evil at the same time, right? You know Bill maybe feeling kinda bad for his actions does not make him the VICTIM of his own actions, right?
He gleefully drew little doodles of 12-year-olds in puddles of blood and you people are like "but his parents are dead." YEAH. HE KILLED THEM.
DREAMCAPTOR AU, FIDDLEFORD REF and lore rambles eheh
Grunke stan and fiddleford in this au run the mystery shack together, stan hosting the oddities and fiddleford running the ''mystical'' part of the attractions-
THERE IS A CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE TWO ATTRACTIONS☝️💥💥💥/hj/hj XDD
now, to the nit and gritty of some of their lore, the twins are still visiting their ''great uncle stanford'' with the surprise of another oldie who the twins
mistankenly assume [mabel] they we're married, and the two kind of just wen along with it, and their summer happens-
relatively similar. however, fiddleford himself wasn't much of a fun of this set up, as you ya'll know he has ALL of his sanity and memory intact so he knows all he danger that lurks in gravity falls, but there's also another reason why he'd prefer to keep stans family out
the two have been hunkering down on gravity falls after fords ''leaving'' their dimension, and have been doing all they can to hide their dimensional signature from him, to avoid the possibility of him returning,
they've done all they could, even faking their own deaths so their families won't try to get in their way, stanley still faking his deah here and now fiddleford doing the same, no one knows anythn abt this except them
