A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety
Hello, I am Samar Shamiya, married to Hashem Al-Shawish (@hashemsh92) @hashemsh12 . I have a child born in the war, his name is Omar. He is 6 months old.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair.
We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.
We are originally from the north of the Gaza Strip, but at the beginning of the war we were displaced several times without anything. Our house was completely destroyed and we are now homeless.
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.
We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.

Actually no one should be having sex. All of us are aged-up minors and the passage of time is inherently problematic
a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, "wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it." has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was "itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike." . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.
I HAVE BEEN FREED!!!!
oh.my.goodness.The exams I've been fretting over for almost two years are finally over, and I am just so happy I was able to reach my personal goal of reading TSP after they were done, and damn, it was so worth it!! TSP I HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION😆
...28,12 for the ask game.
Have a great day(or night)!
CONGRATULATIONS Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!! I know you were really stressing out about them and working super super hard I'm so proud of you. I hope they went well!! That post-exam emptiness feeling is so distinct, i hope you're filling it with lots of fun things and doing what you love now that you're free :) <3
Also I can't believe you jumped to TSP 😭 !!!!!!!!! I hope you enjoyed it >:) I'm starting my writing for the next chapter tomorrow and I'm super nervous about it.
28. On average, how much writing do you get done in a day?
That fully depends on where I'm at in my process. Back during spring semester, I'd sometimes get a whole chapter done friday/saturday, and spend the rest of my weekend editing. but as I got busier and busier, i averaged about 5k a day? maybe? ish? when I was especially swamped ( and i feel so bad about this ) it looked more like 0k Friday, 2k Saturday ( Saturdays are for chores and rotting in bed ) and getting like 7k done on Sunday between the hours of 5 am and 3 pm.
12. how does receiving or not receiving feedback/support impact you?
i don't really know, honestly. all of my original stuff--my poetry, ocs, and whatnot--i've kept pretty close to my chest and not shared them with other people so I'm not really used to getting support or feedback. I don't really know how i feel about feedback, especially unwarranted feedback, but the support I've gotten really means the world. it's made the experience of writing a lot less lonely, somehow
I see all that random general knowledge swimming in my head does eventually get to be of use eh.
I happened stumble on the TSP summary on ao3 which i actually read for the first time,and couldn't help but notice.....the name pf the cold case 'red camellia' sounded like smthg i heard before, and after racking through my brain I suddenly remembered it:'the black dahlia'.I don't know if you've ever heard of it but it was a rather infamous case of the murder of a young lady aspiring to become a hollywood star and I don't know, it reminded me of the name arrangement of like a colour and then a flower name.....
it was inspired by the Black Dahlia case! A little, anyway. but that's just one of the most famous floral crime cases out there ( there are TON of flower-nicknamed murders, for the drama ), and I thought Red Camellias and their tragic symbolism were perfect for soukoku.
few things more humbling than the realization that you really do write the same fic(s) over and over again
I think we should start a collaborative collection of minor bsd lore/character facts that people forget/don't know about because they're manga or light novels-exclusive because there's so many of them
Like Dazai making extremely good tofu while trying to make a saying literal by hurting his head on tofu and being mad about it in Dark Era

(copied from an ask I got) Hi. choppedreviewsong, who you recently reblogged from, is a scammer. They stole their images from an actual fundraiser, and they've been trying to scam people under different names from months. I recommend deleting your reblog and reporting and blocking their account. You can check out kyra45 's blog for information on how to spot scams in the future
Thank you for letting me know❤
