OkAY I’ll be responsible and do the school thing before the job thing
“are you busy today?”
Joy Sullivan, from “Almonds”, Instructions for Traveling West
Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.
I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.
Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔
Emily Dickinson, from her poem titled "1188," featured in The Emergency Poet
good night
“are you busy today?”
'Autumn Evening with Rider'. Franz von Stuck. 1893.
accidentally saw twitter discourse about this but if a zoomer said something like "prove women have hobbies" to my face my kneejerk reaction would be "prove you shouldn't have been aborted." if a guy says something crazy to me I will say something crazier and then say "oh my bad, I thought we were both pretending to be stupid" if he gets upset
