Ahmed @ahmedaldani333 and his family still need your help!

Ahmed is fundraising in order for himself and his family to escape the forced famine and merciless bombings in Gaza.

Ahmed himself was hurt by Israeli occupation before he was even born. He has a lifelong health condition that effects his bones and teeth, all because his mother was exposed to a dangerous gas weapon while pregnant.

Ahmed can't get the specialized medical treatment he needs in Gaza because of the war, but he also can't get basic necessities like food, water, or shelter, and neither can his family.

Currently Ahmed and his family are only at 16% of their goal.

Anything you can share is meaningful! Several people giving a small amount will make a big difference, so give what you can and share the campaign!

Please don't forget about Ahmed and his family!

📢 ISRAEL HAS KIDNAPPED ALL 12 CREW ON BOARD THE MADLEEN HUMANITARIAN AID SHIP 🚨

Earlier this evening, the IOF boarded The Madleen humanitarian aid ship, headed to break the siege on Gaza.

As a result, 12 foreign nationals have been kidnapped by the IOF and their fate is currently unknown.

You can help.

You can contact the relevant ministries of foreign affairs for the crew on board The Madleen and also the UK foreign ministry as this was a UK flagged ship.

This is a violation of international law and an attack on the UK's sovereignty.

The crew on board The Madleen also reported white "paint" being poured on them and it's unknown what this substance was.

Please write to your local representatives and the relevant ministries of foreign affairs to demand the safe release of all 12 crew members who were on board The Madleen.

This is a crisis.

Eid in Gaza: A Plea for Mercy, A Call for Action ..

As millions around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha — a holiday rooted in compassion, sacrifice, and giving — my family and I mark another day under siege in Gaza.

For over a year and eight months, we’ve been enduring relentless war, displacement, and fear. Homes have been destroyed, loved ones lost, and daily life has become a constant struggle for survival.

Eid is meant to be a time of unity and generosity. Even if you don’t observe this holiday, you can still share in its spirit — by standing with us in solidarity.

🙏 I’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign to help my family access basic necessities and rebuild a life of safety and dignity. Your support — no matter how small — means the world to us right now.

This Eid, help us hold onto hope.

Thank you for your kindness and humanity.

Spain trying to pressure Israel to stop the assault on Gaza. It’s like we’re invisible until big countries step in. The aid blockade is suffocating us, making a famine creep closer. Every bomb that drops feels like it’s right on top of us, shaking our homes and our souls. But we’re strong, we’re still here, holding on to hope despite the chaos around us. Maybe one day the world will see us not as numbers in a news article, but as real people with real lives, dreams, and pain. Until then, we’ll keep standing, praying for peace to find its way to our shattered streets. 🕊️

THIS IS NOT REAL. If you get this comment, they’re just trying to get you to delete your fic.

1) I would have gotten some kind of email from Ao3 if this was true

2) this comment is formatted to be perfect to tack onto any fic they choose

3) ALSO why on earth would Ao3 get rid of entire fandoms off the site? Even if they WERE inactive? Who knows if others will be ‘late’ to the fandom and want some fic to read. Who knows if someone wants to come back to their 6 year old account only to find most of their fics deleted.

I’m lucky to be a reasonable adult who has seen tricks like these who also had a very kind person comment their own doubts.

Please let your Ao3 friends know <3

We still don't know why he can hollowify in the first place

Mooooooood

Someone in a weaving discord I'm in saw this much-jpg'd image on Facebook. They enjoyed it and crossposted it. I enjoyed it and asked if there was a source. Alas, unattributed. We would never know.

Not so! By their magical librarianship and citation-hunting powers, @ginneke tracked the image first to Pinterest, then a long-defunct blog, then a connection with the 1960s fairytale retellings of Amadel Williams-Ellis illustrated by one William Stobbs. He had the correct whimsical art style - a hit! Another server member suggested a likely candidate tale of Baba Yaga involving a cat and a loom.

Unfortunately, these books have never been digitised, not even the tables of contents, so there was no way to know whether they might be correct. And my various libraries had never heard of the books. However, for about £7 each on ebay they were within my shenanigans budget - I was invested now.

I ordered two, mostly at random. Leafed all the way through both of them, got nearly to the end with some delightful other creatures but not yet the Loom Cat...

..... and then all of a sudden there it was! In a Baba Yaga story in Round a the World Fairy Tales exactly as predicted! Success in tracking down an 80-year-old untitled children's book illustration via several people and much joy. I'm very satisfied and will put the full Baba Yaga tale in a reblog.

you never have to feel self-conscious if your work flops, guys. it doesn’t mean it’s not good or shouldn’t exist

even the most sexed-up man in bleach doesn’t sweat it if his writing does poorly

so neither should you
