Hanif Abdurraqib, In Defense of Despair

[msaram]

suho being an extremely jealous is SO canon to me but i also think he's very conscious of not being controlling/overbearing?? so when he needs to get his possessiveness out of his system he tries to do it in subtle ways. e.g. trying to get sieun to wear one of his windbreakers.

suho: hey wear this

sieun: why? i have my own

suho: doesn't matter just wear this

sieun: no it's too big

suho, at his limit: THEN ROLL UP THE DAMN SLEEVES

eventually he manages to wrestle one onto him and sieun wears it to school. baku n the gang immediately notice bc? yeon sieun? wearing anything to school but his uniform? so they go hey is that suho's? and sieun's like yeah, he gave it to me. dunno why but he rlly wanted me to have it. juntae, our emotionally intelligent king, later takes sieun aside and is like, bro. you know why suho wants you to wear his jacket right? and sieun's like?? no? so juntae is like, he wants to make it obvious.

sieun: make what obvious?

juntae: that you're his.

cue sieun getting very red in the face and changing the topic.

(and yet, he doesn't take the jacket off the entire day.)

for the next couple days i'll be focusing on a handful of fundraisers that are very far away from their goals as of posting this. these were verified by @/mohameddd a palestinian in gaza right now who i speak with directly, i trust their legitimacy!

Hazem Al-Bardawil: Hazem's house was the target of an israeli airstrike on the 11th of october, his pregnant wife and children were martyred on that day and he was severely injured and left bed-ridden in intensive care for several days. he recently created this campaign to raise money for treatment and shelter. 0/£20,000

Mohammed Matar: Mohammed is a civil engineer, he's had to evacuate with his family several times from gaza city to the south then to rafah and so on in search of shelter and safety. his wife gave birth in february, and they're unable to find basic necessities for their newborn daughter like diapers or formula milk. €652/€20,000

Hazem Khalil's family: Hazem's family, consisting of his parents, his 4 brothers and his sister, live in the north of the gaza strip in jabalia refugee camp. Hazem is organizing this campaign to provide basic necessities for his family for the time being, and raising enough money to evacuate by the time the egyptian border opens. they've managed to reach their initial goal of €5,000 so far, which is enough to evacuate his younger brother, and he's aiming to raise another €5,000 by next sunday for his younger sister's evacuation. €5,204/€50,000

tomorrow i'll be posting another batch of fundraisers and i'll be following up with these few for now until they reach their goals inshallah

She liked to put her head on his chest and listen to his heart. "How could one person ever hurt another after doing this?" she’d asked him the first time. "But we do."

“Poetry is a process of getting back to the unconscious. Hence, I am always writing–even when I’m not facing the white space. I feel writers are like reservoirs of images. We take in what is around us.”
