Hello everyone, I am Ahlam, 21 years old. My life before the war was simple, filled with ordinary dreams like any young woman my age. I envisioned a future full of the ability to help others. I lived with my family in a warm house full of love and security, thinking about how I could achieve my dreams and become an impactful person in society.
But suddenly, everything changed. The war swept through our city like a relentless storm. In a single night, my home became just a memory, and the city I once knew crumbled before my eyes. The sound of planes and shells became the only thing people could hear. We tried to find shelter, a safe place to hide our dreams and lives, but the war followed us wherever we went.
We were forced to leave everything behind—the house, the memories, and even the university. We became displaced, homeless, with no destination, just trying to survive. I walked with my family through unfamiliar roads, searching for a place to take us in, trying to escape danger, running from one explosion to the next, from one ruin to another.
The war didn't just destroy our city and homes, it destroyed our dreams. My dream of completing my studies became far out of reach, and every day, I feel hope slipping further away. But despite all this, something inside me refuses to give up. There is a desire to escape this reality and build a new life, a life worth living. I dream of continuing my education, I dream of standing on my own feet again and achieving the goal I was once striving for: to help others who have lived through the pain of war like me.
I ask for your help, humbly. I can't get out of these circumstances on my own. The donations you gather will help me travel to a safe place where I can continue my studies and start a new life away from war and fear. The amount I'm asking for is the key to a new life, to the dream of becoming strong again and one day helping my family and community.
Help me rebuild my life and become the person I dreamed of being. Every donation, no matter how small, is a step towards safety, a step towards a better future.
Thank you for reading my words. Many thanks and respect to you

Annie: There are legends of people born with the gift of making music so true, it can pierce the veil between life and death; conjuring spirits from the past...and the future. In ancient Ireland, they were called Filí. In Choctaw land, they called them Fire Keepers. And in West Africa, they were called Griots. This gift can bring healing to their communities. But it also...attracts evil....
Sinners (2025)
Black fans in fandom: Listen, we really don't want to see fanart and fanfics of our beloved Black characters being cucked, mutilated, tortured, dehumanised, and sidelined, because it's legitimately detrimental to our community. It tolerates racism further; we all want you guys to stop. Many of you are incredibly microaggressive, so please hold yourselves accountable for that.
Half of Non-Black fans (who are ironically pro-fic, and anti-harassment despite the fact it goes against their principles): Are you guys saying fandom shouldn't write and draw taboo themes? I'm sorry for the anti-Blackness you experience daily, but this is what fiction is about; I don't want to acknowledge the racism in our spaces because it challenges us. It evokes our guilt that we haven't expanded our idea of a "safe space" for your community because we're exhaustingly race-blind. I mean, it doesn't mean I'm racist, though! I have mutuals who are people of colour, but it just coincidentally happens they are non-Black! I specifically fancy them to have the same values as us, so we don't have to address how harmful the racism has been. It's just "fiction." Your favourite characters aren't real.
OMG your HC's for Moxie's!! /pos
Also daaaaaaaamn poor Ellington 😭😭
Edit: also waittt @spooky-cryptid-friend you're kinda cooking with the "black trenchcoat" thing.. Like – an inverse of the traditional lab coat – "better to wear black so you don't see the stains" (#cornyalert /hj)
if sinners (2025) taught me anything, it's that it IS actually always about race.
you can be oppressed, and still promote and maintain the very same systems of oppression onto other marginalized people. being oppressed in one dimension doesn't allow you to be exempt from oppressing in other dimensions. the "villain" of the movie, remmick, being from the time period of the english colonization of ireland, all the while wanting to take a piece of sammie's own culture from him, use him for it. and this plot point coming after remmick witnesses the significance of sammie's playing within his culture, for his ancestors and how it would shape Black culture in the future.
even in today's society, ive noticed that people treat Black people like a commodity. our worth is only as much as other people decide it to be, and that's usually dependent on how much the oppressor can take from us. for example, the controversy of"internet slang" and how it is blatantly just AAVE with a bad disguise on
do you listen to Black musicians? do you watch Black movies? do you engage with Black creators? do you defend the racist tendencies you notice in your friends, in your family, or do you stay silent? do you listen when Black people tell you you've said or done something racist? do you actually care about not being racist, or do you just not want to look like you're racist?
i just think people have a very specific take on what racism is, and that if they're not committing KKK-levels of violence on people, then they're not racist. or if you've experienced oppression in one form, you cannot possibly be engaging with oppression in another form. but the ways in which we interact with other people and the world will always be through the lens of race, because that is simply what it means for oppression to be systemic, especially in the US and our current political climate
anyway 10/10 movie. highly recommend
As of today I am here to appeal to you for support ❤️🙏, we all know very well that the peace agreement that was signed in SOUTH SUDAN expired last month . This month south Sudan has gone back to war.
We are really suffering, there's too much hyperflation and there's no crossing 🚸 since there have been gun shots everywhere.
We are really starving and have no food to eat. Being LGBTQ refugees in war-torn country, the situations are piling up day after another, from discrimination to insecurities.
We call upon you the well-wishers with heart of humanity to intervene in our lives by donating to us so we can sustain ourselves and lives during this tough time.
Should you be in position to host a ZOOM MEETING, we are available for it . Any amount of dollar can really resurrect hopes of living in us.
We all know USAID fundings have been stopped 🛑 from Africa by president Donald Trump, meaning the only way out is private clinics which are expensive and require Money.
Donate to the fundraiser below to help us out, for further verification, I can provide you with the details our support partner who once hosted us on zoom and created this GoFundMe fundraiser. Share and donate 🙏👇👇

The way I know those PJO fans were lying about "we just want book accuracy" in regards to Leah's casting as Annabeth is bc they didn't complain nearly as much for anyone else in the cast
Percy being blonde? A little bit here or there but acceptance in the end
Grover? Literally nothing for miles about how Aryan's Indian
Luke Castellan? Charlie Bushnell is Japanese, Irish, and Costa Rican, but no one ever said that he wasn't book accurate
Chiron is Black. Did you complain about that?
Y'all can take your "we want the looks to be like the books!" and shove it up your ass. You're just being racist toward Leah
Now that I have your attention, I am calling all my followers and anyone else who comes across this post to spare at least 10 euros to support Nader and his family in Gaza.
Match my donation of €10 and share proof if you want in the notes.
This campaign is vetted (#4 on the list)!
€31,960 has been raised as of the time I post this, it's getting closer to the goal than before!
(Cos I'm gonna draw a reference sheet, or at least a headshot of them..)
