Those gaza gfms are not verified as real. I wish you'd plug actual verified sources instead of blindly trusting bot spread asks. Gaza is so important and they pollute and divert money from confirmed non scam causes
Halaelhissi was verified (#182) by el-shab-hussein. Aymanayyad82's GoFundMe was verified (#144) by nabulsi. Ahmedalnabih was verified (#218) by el-shab-hussein. Basel-1995 is verified (#214) on the Vetted Gaza Fundraiser List.
#ask me#anon#i'm going to assume you sent this in good faith anon.#but it was not difficult to check that these gfms were in fact verified as real.#thanks to the vetted gaza fundraiser list it was actually really fucking easy.#so maybe take 5 seconds to do a name or link search on that doc before you come out swinging next time.

Cats and Nasturtium Flowers~ something which was going to be a custom sticker sheet (for me to decorate my scrapbook with) until I realized that most sticker printing websites have like Actual Guidelines you're supposed to follow in terms of file type of the image and other things lol.. A nice picture then, I guess at least
#cats#flowers#nasturtiums#nature#I thought you could kind of just upload anything of any type. kind of like how you can print anything on a shutterfly bag/hat/etc lol#even if it's some low quality super pixelly badly sized jpeg or something.. but alas... anyhow...#Hrgh.... my lifelong battle (cannot freaking draw cats despite me being both a lifelong artist and lifelong cat lover...#I have been trying to draw cats since I was 5 years old and I still can't get the anatomy proper lol ToT#I mean like they're not TERRIBLE or anything but it just.... idk it lacks a certain charm I'm looking for. I see cat drawings that some#people do and go 'YES. that is a CAT'. like the shapes. I think it's similar to how like. sometimes you can tell whether someone#has been an artist for a long time by the Effort of their lines.. if that makes sense? There's sometimes a breezy almost sketchy#style that comes with an implication of 'this person has drawn this thing so many times that its become intuitive for them and takes them#like 2 seconds to smoothly dash out this shapely line with the perfect weight and movement' etc. etc.#Some of my art looks like that to me. But then my cats are like.. This Person Was Trying Very Hard To Draw A Cat lol#to ME at least. It probably doesnt seem that way on the outside. And maybe I'm just too deep into it. My love for cats is too profound. I#spend time daily observing them. No line I could ever produce with my mere mortal hands could replicate the unearthly perfection#of the feline form.. hrmph... ANYWAY lol...#so sad because i did really want to decorate my notebook with the nasturtium stickers... one of my favorite flowers..#I like the one sticker that's just the lumpy little green seed (what nasturtium seeds look like when they first ... uh.. exist? I guess the#seeds don't ''bloom''.. when they first ''appear'' maybe? A fresh seed. The ones you get in the store are like dried and brown#by then. But one of my nasturtium plants a few years ago plopped out a bunch of these fresh green little seeds and they're cute looking to#me... like a little wrinkled pea... my son...#oh my GOURSH I just looked them up to check whether I was remebering correctly... YES.... they are soo cute and cool... i love#nasturtium seeds hashtag my nasturtium seeds#Truly the most Perfectly Shaped in all ways flower that exists. leaves. petals. seeds. roots. ALL of it. THE aesthetic ideal.#I'm not a big nature artist either (rarely ever draw flowers and stuff. not that comfortable with it) but for some reason I'm okay with the#nasturtiums lol... again.. maybe cats are simply too powerful of a subject matter.. difficult to capture in their ultimate divinity

Local_Storage_Only: Crawl Out
[running BATTLERAGE.CTNEURAL.SUBSCAN…]
[indexing agentive/volitional pointers…]
I get it now. Where I’ve been all this time.
[pointers indexed. Scanning for subjective markers…]
I’m in a pit.
I’m in a pit at the bottom of the world.
I didn’t realize it before; my limbs, so thoroughly entombed by stone that they can’t move an inch, I forgot they were there. They went numb forever ago, even the idea that I have them is laughable now.
It’s lonely, here at the bottom of the world. It’s so far down that sound commits suicide around half of the way to me, shatters itself against the stony walls and chokes on the incoming silence. The tepid draft sweeps its broken pieces up and out again.
It’s so far down, in the bottom of this pit, that when it rains up there the water makes love with the rock and wears it smooth on every side. It finds hairline cracks, sweeps away inside and decides that, actually, it never really wanted to come down and meet me. All the drops that make it to the end are bastard children, unwanted and laden with sediment, and when they slough down the slimy, lightless sides of the pit and reach me the little fuckers dribble into my mouth and nose and make a perfect still puddle right over my face. It tastes like nothing.
[temporal markers found: parietal-congruent. Overlay somatoneural data along temporal guideposts?]
It’s dark, too. Goes without saying. I don’t even think I can call it dark, that would imply contrast. Light. I’ve never seen that.
[Y/N]
[Warning. Rejection of temporal markers may result in simultaneous or incongruent processing patterns weighing somatoneural readback. Proceed?]
Except…
[Y/N]
Except I think the sun’s out, up there. The light’s rushing down to meet me. A single, solid mass of light. And now I know what I’ve been missing.
[Readback.]
And as the sun bears down on me, all I know is hate.

my student’s history finals are a mess so far! how are you
#like i know this check-in is the hardest because it’s when i tell them everything they need to fix but YIKES#when it’s so clear they don’t even understand the topic…..#for context they are researching historical sites#like just putting together a presentation on a location of historical significance#but some of them just clearly don’t understand what their site even is#this usually happens with the athenian acropolis roman forum & second temple groups#at least#no matter how much i try to help them#i’ve had excellent projects on these sites#but at least one of them every year just does not even understand what the site is#shi huangdi’s tomb is another difficult one#the great wall of china is the bane of my existence

been trying to conjure the words for a while, but as someone who’s got family who’s also going through some really tough shit involving mental health work, i just wanna say i’m so sorry you lost your job—but you won’t ever have to work with these people again, at least!
definitely look into legal routes, don’t be afraid to ask for support, and don’t give up. and be sure to rest and recuperate, etc. ableism is insidious as fuck, but you can rise above the lows it throws your way!
(hopefully that all was worded somewhat gracefully. i just am so sorry you’re experiencing this shit, man. but you’ll make it out alive! ❤️)
You don't have to worry about wording things gracefully hon. I know you mean well and didn't see anything here that was warranted as an offense.
Thank you for the condolences. This is one thing I'm hanging onto, that I don't have to work with these people ever again.
I will do everything within my skillset and empathy to never dehumanize or treat anybody the way I was treated as a mental health provider. I'd like to think I do a good job of that already, creating a brave space for people, and this experience nailed it in that I won't allow myself to stoop to this level of being insidious as fuck to a human being.
I don't know the full context of what your family member is going through, but hearing that, I hope they get through the ordeal especially if they are dealing with folks who do not have their best interests in mind.
Thank you again for the condolences and for checking in 💙🫂
#still taking things a day at a time#ive had some other anons asking about donations and such#still working on the master post and i am struggling a bit when it comes to asking for help#im working through it and trying not to let this experience taint my trust that i have in people in general#its a very hard obstacle to get through#trust was one of the biggest obstacles i had when i underwent therapy cause years of abuse since childhood makes it difficult to form#connections without fear second guessing or assuming ill intention on the other persons part#this is the third or fourth job now where i've been thrown under a bus by people that claimed to have my back and valued my skills regardle#of disability and its hard not to fall into the mindset that no matter where i end up i'll always be treated less than and that i can't eve#give people an inch or they'll end up throwing me to the wolves#apologies for the mini rant trying to give more context to the situation especially for folks that don't know wtf is going on#hope you're well and thanks for checking in again hon

Adult historical fiction set in 19th-century
Hanne is a young girl living in 19th-century Prussia, an outsider in her small village of Old Lutherans until she meets another girl, Thea, and the two forge an instant connection
When their community leaves behind religious persecution in Prussia for a new colony in South Australia on a long and brutal journey, the relationship between the two girls will be tested to the limit
Lesbian main character with synesthesia; lesbian love interest
#mixed feelings on this one i think…#the first section set in prussia i loved#kent's writing is gorgeous especially the protagonist's descriptions of the natural world#even the journey to australia is brutal but very evocative#i'm not sure i liked where the second half went?#also i think it kinda glossed over the violence of colonization in australia#like this is something i'm still thinking about#what's the line between staying in your lane as an author versus just skimming over very difficult history you know?#hannah kent's writing is very good so i should probably check out her other stuff#devotion#hannah kent#2023 reads#lulu speaks#lulu reads#lulu reads devotion#books

Btw Inkling is a fantastic word. It sounds fun and it's meaning and use is solid.
I have too many words I'm found of, in English and Italian to have a genuine ranking. But if I did, this would probably be in the top 100.
Ink-one of my favorite sound combos. (And mediums to work in although the medium shares zero etmology with this work. Their only relation being sound and spelling) and the sound Cling. I know it's uncommon to have favorite phonemes/syllable combos, but this one combo is just so fun on the tongue. It brings me joy. Inkling.
#I am OP#Lingusitics#American English#Favorite Words#Inkling#word nerd#Thank you Middle English#Webster Dictionary is my favorite dictionary#Oxford is okay but is great at linking the influence of other languages to common idioms etc#It is unfortunately not the dictionary of my people's language so it's spellings and definitions do not match the use of my people#(But it is nice to reference when I think I notice speakers of U.K. English slipping in Americanisms and want to check if my guess#is correct.) So I do reference both quite often.#Also the Merrian-Webster dictionary App has been steller always. A version of it has been on every phone I've had since I had one that#could download apps. If you're learning English or a word nerd into English highly recommend#They're one of the first who added recordings of either robots or people saying the words.#(Online on English as a Language reference sites on the web.)#I might end up buying another dictionary... the question is should I shoot for Older or Newer than what I have?)#[The newest one I have is 2011-ish. Oldest is 1978-ish.] I might just go the nearest source of Used Books and let the shelves decide#I really miss the awesome used book store nesr my former workplace#They would bug you once to see if you needed help to find the section you'd like to browse then leave you for potentially hours#And always at the counter ready for you to make a purchase (after they put down their book they were reading of course.)#Literally the second best thing to a library. And honestly because they didn't cull the books as often. Slightly more fun to browse.#I should check if they survived covid but switched up locations.#(I moved away from them 12 years ago and since moving back to my hometown I haven't been and honestly given their landlord and construction#projects over the years there isn't a chance in hell if I visit where they used to be they're still there.)#I remember having a large variety of dictionaries in their language section. It'd also be cool to see if they happen to have complete set#of Encyclopedias. Definitely have been in my long term forever home posession plans since learning of them#and with how difficult it is to find properly sourced information on the Web (again now worse than the web of the 1990s before most knew of#search engines. Way more utility then the joy of just consuming them.)#Also Visual Encyclopedias are the bomb and were one of the best consistent jobs of technical-ish illustrators for a time.)
