We Really Are Living In Hunger Games

PEOPLE I WORE EARRINGS AFTER YEARS AND IT FEELS SO GOOD SO FEMININE SO BEAUTIFUL

“O son of Adam,till when will you remain addicted to sins,drowning in the waves of faults,swimming in the waters of heedlessness?Have you acquired certainty of immortality?Or have you acquired certainty that after death you will return to the world?”

[Al-Āthār 10/22]

— pov: this is your "aesthetic"

The last line...

you will get up & you will make that to do list & you will be realistic about your limits & you will take it easy but steady & you will eat good food & you will get things done & you will move your body & you will do things that make you happy & you will limit your screen time & you will be the thing that saves you

Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful

"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"

"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"

"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"

Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Save my family from the war in Gaza, organized by Hussam Aburamadan

I am reaching out to you for your help in saving the lives of my family from the… Hussam Aburamadan needs your support for Save my family fr

This campaign is relatively new but I have it on very good authority that it is legitimate.

Hussam needs to evacuate 13 of his family members from Gaza, including his sister who gave birth in February and now has an infant to care for as well as a young daughter. He’s already lost more than 18 of his family members, and now his remaining family are spread out in refugee camps across southern Gaza.

Any donation makes a difference. Sincerely, if everyone who sees this gives $5 that’s already a great step forward.

Yeah that's what I have been feeling lately.

I would like to tell God that He doesn't need to turn every man around me into a lesson . I get it you know.... I get it all. I learned my lesson. Now can I just have some peace. I am not going to pursue men okay... I gave up. You don't have to tell me that again and again.

15 August 1952:

Your letter came today. I feel happy today after a mild attack of a blue period lasting over a few days. It must be the weather. It is more like spring than summer. The mornings are vaguely cool and disturbing like the first breath of love and the sun in the early hours brings more colour than heat. In the evenings the breeze seems to bring the breath of the seas and the skies seem to close not on drab prison walls but on distant palm- fringed beaches. And it is sad like all beauty that is within your sight and beyond your grasp—like all beauty that you know to be an illusion.
