Hello, my name is Jaber Mohammad Al-Dahdouh. Iโm 13 years old, and Iโm sharing my story of how war has taken everything from my family and me ๐๐.
I grew up in northern Gaza, where we lived a life of comfort and love ๐๐ , all thanks to my mother, Maysaa โค๏ธ, who has a heart condition ๐, and my father, who worked hard to provide a bright future for us ๐๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ. My siblingsโShabaan, Hanan, Ahmed, and my youngest sister Ameera, our little darling ๐ง๐โwere my closest friends, and we shared dreams ๐, laughter ๐, and plans for a life full of hope ๐ โจ.
I was a student ๐ at the Rosary Sisters School, part of the Union of Churches. My school meant so much to me; it was more than a building ๐ซ. It was my second home ๐ก, a place where I felt safe and happy ๐๐, surrounded by friends and childhood laughter ๐ฆ๐ง๐ซ.
But in a single moment, our lives were turned upside down ๐๐ข. The war destroyed our home ๐ ๐ฅ and my beloved school ๐ซ๐, and we were forced to flee south under heavy bombing ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐จ. We took refuge in the Nuseirat area, hoping to find safety ๐คฒ. Yet even there, we were not spared; fighter jets bombed โ๏ธ๐ฅ the very place where we had sought shelter. I witnessed family members being taken from us in that attack ๐๏ธ๐ญ.
I share my story today as a child who has lost almost everything: my home ๐ ๐, my school ๐ซ๐ช๏ธ, family members ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ๐๏ธ, and even my dreams ๐ . I am reaching out not only to share the pain ๐ but to search for a glimmer of hope ๐ to help rebuild our lives.
I humbly ask for your support ๐คฒ๐ to help me and my family through this tragedy ๐๏ธ. My mother, Maysaa, is unwell with a heart condition ๐, and my remaining siblings and I need your support to rebuild from the devastation ๐๐. Your donations could be the only chance to restore a part of our hope ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ and enable me to build a new future from the rubble ๐กโจ.
Thank you for your kindness and support โค๏ธ๐๐ท.

In the changeling au, what does โkeepingโ mean? I know thereโs the whole thing about faeries tricking people into โgivingโ them their names, but what actually happens in this au? Like what would the actual consequences be in a practical sense?
(And I assume nothing happens if Adrien just learns the names through other means bc they have to โgiveโ it to him?)
it means that people who's names he has are susceptible to his illusions and persuasions, even if neither party knows it
they can't perceive what he doesn't want them to, and they're more likely to agree with what he asks, even if its wildly out of character for them. he doesn't know he has this power, he just thinks his friends are really nice to him
and yeah, if he learns someone's name secondhand, it doesn't count. it has to be a direct interaction, and it has to be comprehensible

Hello dear people
I am Nabila from Gaza,, I am speaking to you with a heavy and painful heart. I am sorry that I had to ask for help from you, but what we are living is what pushed me to do this. I was living a beautiful, quiet life, enjoying the time I spend with my grandchildren and seven daughters.
Imagine waking up to find that your world has changed in a moment, and you have lost your security and peace, and your home has been destroyed, and you have become homeless and living in conditions that no human being can bear. I suffer from chronic diseases, high blood pressure and diabetes. My medication has run out for some time and I am facing difficulty in obtaining it in light of the lack of treatment in hospitals and health centers. Most of the time I cannot feel my limbs, but I am trying to resist. I do not want to die in such circumstances. I still have hope that this war will end and we will rebuild our beautiful and beloved country again and live in safety. I believe in divine power and justice and that all this pain will go away.
I am trying to endure these difficult conditions that I live in inside a small tent and a bathroom a few meters away from my tent and you know the conditions of diabetics in this case but once again there is still hope. I used to live at the expense of my daughters but with all sadness and regret they have all lost their homes and places of work and they have no source of income left and their situation is like that of any Gazan who is still inside Gaza struggling with death, hunger, diseases and extreme heat each one struggling to feed his children I cannot ask them for help so I have resorted to you and I am fully confident in your humanity to help me so that I can provide food and treatment and provide a better tent than the one I live in because it is torn and the place is full of insects. If I can provide treatment, I want to continue my life and see my grandchildren grow up around me. I donโt want to go now. I know that I donโt have as much life left as I have, but I have the right to live and enjoy this. Please donโt hesitate to help your mother who has come to you with a heavy and sad heart. Every dollar will make a difference in my life. Donโt leave me to live this pain. I appreciate what you are doing for every Palestinian inside and outside Gaza. I pray to God that you donโt go through what we are going through, my beloved.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.
iโve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. iโve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.
please consider donating to emilyโs ko-fi, especially if youโve used their design to create something and profited from it.
