Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
💔 A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨ I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.
🙏 How You Can Help
Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing the essentials we desperately need.
Share Our Story: If you can’t donate, please share this post to help us reach others who can.
Your support will help provide food for the children, clean water for my family, and basic supplies to help us survive this unimaginable crisis.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can create a lifeline for my family—a chance to live, to dream, and to hope again.
With love and gratitude, Areej Kassab ❤️
What makes this so interesting is that while Nauls and Windows are close, and even more evidently are Nauls and Palmer close, Palmer and Windows can hardly stand each other.
I really want to understand what was going on between them. Why, when tensions were at their highest, did those two immediately go after each other’s throats?
Yes, Palmer Thing might have been throwing him under the bus those few instances because he found him to be the weakest or something along those lines, but the thing is that Windows didn’t seem shocked that Palmer would do such a thing even before he knew that he was one of those things. (I’ve used the word thing too many times in a row.) And, I don’t know, I feel like that might say something about their relationship.
It’s just interesting to see how they both share close associations with the same person but can’t get along alone together or even when Nauls is there in the middle.
Anyways, but apparently from what I’ve read the actors for Palmer and Windows wanted to actually their characters to ally themselves together agansit the rest of the group but apparently that didn’t fit John Carpenter’s vision and also they apparently improvised a lot of those scenes of them fighting together. So, I’m kind of assuming that after John Carpenter rejected their idea they just decided between themselves they were going to go in the complete opposite direction of what they initially had in mind for their relationship and have them disdain each other’s guts wholeheartedly lol.
nauls and windows's differences only bring them closer. like, they contrast just as much as they compliment one another. they're both young, their hair-dos are similar and they aren't afraid to be blunt when they have to be. yet nauls is more positive than windows--even if he is more snarky. he's more quick to react, more grounded in his emotions than windows who's a little more hesitant and panicky.
yet they're never very apart from each other for too long...they really do rely on each other when things get rough. idk man just nauls being the one to comfort windows in the og script...windows being the one to draw the blood from him...it's just they're SO close it honestly makes me wanna cry. their character traits just play off each other so well it's great
I want to bring another fundraiser to your attention. In the link above, Fadi Ayyad has told the story of his family, who lost their home in Northern Gaza and have been forced to evacuate to the south.
Fadi is a high school student who wishes to graduate and further his studies. And his father, Ayman is a well-respected and known Gazan educator, who has lost his source of livelihood during this war.
Their lives have become a constant struggle for survival, from trying to secure what food and water they can to the constant bombardment and raids by the Israeli military which threaten to take their lives at any time.
Their situation is dire. They require $35,000 to evacuate their 8 family members and after 1 month they have not even gone over $1000 yet.
Help this family reach their goal and evacuate to Egypt, where they can get back a semblance of stability and safety. Donate if you can, and please share!
You can also reach Ayman on tumblr @aymanayyad81
My name is Mohamed Saqr, and just a short time ago, my family and I were living a life full of hope and stability in Gaza. We had worked hard for everything we had – multiple homes, a farm, and several successful businesses. Life was good, and we were building a future for ourselves. My brother, 24, recently married, and we were both proud of the lives we had built. But all of that changed in a heartbeat when the war began on October 7th.
this is my brother, Motaz Saqr, who had to undergo surgery in his stomach due to the pollution we are exposed to daily.
This is my house, before and after, im newly married and this was the house we were supposed to live in but the war happened and it turned into rubble since the war.
Since that day, everything we knew has been taken away from us. We were forced to flee our homes, leaving behind everything we had worked for. We lost our homes, our farm, and our businesses. Now, my family and I are constantly on the move, trying to find safety and shelter wherever we can. The fear we live with every day is unimaginable. We move from one camp to another, never knowing when or where the next attack might come. My brother’s children cry every night, scared of the loud explosions that seem to be getting closer with each passing day.
This is my brother’a daughter, this is the condition we are living in during the war.
Every day is a struggle just to survive. Food, water, and medicine are scarce, and we never know if the next meal will come. My wife, my brother, his wife, and their children are doing everything we can to stay strong, but it’s getting harder by the day. We’ve lost so much, but the hardest part is the constant fear for our lives. We’ve already witnessed too much destruction, and we know the situation could get even worse.
We started this GoFundMe because we need help. We need funds not only to survive but also to try and escape Gaza before it’s too late. We are asking for your support – anything you can give will make a huge difference in our lives. Your generosity could help provide food, clean water, and medical supplies, and it might even help us find a way out of this nightmare. Please, if you can, help us. Every donation brings us one step closer to safety and a chance at rebuilding our lives.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love how everyone just ships everyone together ‘cause they’re all really shippable with each other and yet none of us have a considered the possibility that they could all just be poly if we wanted them to be.
WinMac should NOT be the top ship. You guys are insane when MacReady and Childs is RIGHT THERE. That ending??? Dead mans yaoi. They had chemistry throughout the whole film, and Y'all latched onto Windows and MacReady?? Is it all for the computer brands joke?? Whatever. Just you wait.
@emile-tb knows whats up, and is holding the flashlight for my keyboard while I type in the dark rn.
He tells me to tell yall he says hi.
if you guys have ship name ideas for Mac and Childs lmk
The Thing is a perfect film and I want to kiss it with tongue. I could watch it another 30 times without getting sick of it. Do you think those guys ever explored each other's bodies? No, and that's what killed them.
Colored an old sketch of Norman for an updated PFP. It really needed updating lol.
Ya gotta believe getting Thanged by That Thang feels a little good, right?

Hey! I’m Luni. I go by any/all pronouns. Welcome to my blog!
I’m mainly posting this to ensure that people don’t automatically assume I’m a bot when they see me following them lol.
But just to preface, I am very new here. I don’t know how anything works on here. I have never used Tumblr before. So please give me a little bit of a break if I fumble something up or don’t understand some unspoken rule about what you can or can’t do on here. Everything’s very new to me here so I’ll be taking my time trying to figure everything out.
For the time being, I will just be lurking around. I’m still in the process of setting up my other side blogs, so it’ll probably take me a minute before I actually start to reblog and post stuff.
With that being said, when I do start posting stuff it’ll likely be on my side blogs for the most part. I don’t know what I’m going to do with my main blog yet, but as of right now I’m thinking I’ll just post day to day stuff on here.
In the future, I’ll hopefully get around to making an official “about me” pinned post that explains everything you need to know when viewing and interacting with my blogs.
Anyways, that’s all I have to say.
Luni || any/all || multi-fandom Still sorta new hereI mass like posts in a row before rebloggingAlso I have no shame in reblogging really old postsCurrent hyperfixations are The Dragon Prince, The Arcana, The Dark Crystal, The Thing, Voltron, Spider-man, and typologyMore active on side blogs
