My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza

My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.

The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.

I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.

Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.

I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.

Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.

Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.

watching revenge of teh sith on cinema will have you traumatized in new ways

Watching Girls hbo for the first time has proven to me that no matter how annoying women are, men will always be more insufferable and ten times more evil.

season 1 of gossip girls saddens me bc this show while presenting itself as shallow teen drama used to really have a strong theme of how the Upper East Side was a corrupt and inherently toxic environment for every single one of our main characters and instead of focusing on the toxicity of it in the next seasons, they romanticised it. And nothing really showcases is better than Serena, who in season 1 has solid characterization and an interesting arc, by the next seasons becoming a caricature of her in s1.

i think people of colour are more than allowed to express their disappointment over the handling of mari's death when Yellowjackets not only are known for sidelining their cast of colour but also killing them off to develop white characters! Especially when hair is important part of Mari's culture and ethnicity. And i think white ( mostly Shauna) fans should really shut up and listen when fans of colour talk about racist writing or micraggressions ❤️ The defence this show gets is unreal especially for it's third season.

rip taishauna (2021 - 2025) you will forever be one of the most beautiful female friendships on screen 💔

[sancastarcs]

i really really don't like how they depicted the rest Yellowjackets in the duration of Mari's hunt for the sake of villainising furthermore Shauna and Lottie but also. logically speaking. If the rest of Yellowjackets are against cannibalism, against of It and the Wilderness in general, why couldn't they restrict Shauna or Lottie? They are just TWO of them they could easily overpower them. Why did they continue follow Shaun's instructions and dehumanise Mari. Misty's smirk being about Nat , outside of the fact that the writters got lazy and have her smirk in the camp and not in the place where they ate Mari, is a nice subversion but it doesn't make sense contextually.

[sancastarcs]

so....does anyone know who burned the cabin after all? What about the man without an eye and other's Tai initial purpose? Anything about Javi's friendss??? How about Sammy and Simone, outside of the five second cameo they had in that one episode? Why we are introduced to Lottie's father when Lottie is already dead? I guess we will never know bc the show doesn't seem interested to answer any of them.

i finally realised the main reason i was so dissatisfied with the final. its because of how tame all the girls were 😭 in the pilot, we see a bunch of teenage girls going feral and ritualistically hunting down their friend, not saying a single world, just screaming and making animal noises. It’s like they aren’t even human anymore, they’ve all seemingly gone completely insane, they strip the body naked, slit her throat, and finally they eat her. wordlessly, they eat their friend, seemingly complicit and with no regrets. Its interesting, And then the final rolls around and its like “hey so they were actually all sane and didn’t want to eat her and were all forced into it by big scaaaary shauna while also planning their escape” and it feels like such a BORING COPOUT 💔💔💔💔💔 for a show thats meant to be about insane cannibals, the writers seem very scared to actually make all their characters fucked up, so they made shauna and lottie their big evil villains and make everything bad that happens their doing, while painting the others as these good sane heroes fighting back against the crazy girls, this is NAWT the crazy cannibals i signed up for✊

idk what more the narrative has to do for you guys to understand that Shauna is morally bad. Like as a person. She is fucked up and she is villainous. Maybe the cartoonish villainification is too on the nose but still. It's there. She has post partum depression and she still is a bad horrible person that craves power and violence. Embrace her character and stop trying to absolve her from the fact she is a baddie. She is a psychopath she is complex and an interesting character at the same time. She is also a huge hypocrite, unreliable narrator and projects too much of her insecurity on innocent bystanders. She can be a great character while being a horrible person. Not everything she does, and especially the atrocities of s3's seasons finale need to be excused

Coach Ben seeing Mari of all people arriving at the Yellowjackets afterlife:

[sancastarcs]

Natalie had by far the most complete character arc this season but i am still very confused from the lack of Travnat and Lottienat scenes? Those were her most important relationships in season 2 so i don't understand exactly why they didn't share more scenes together? I mean i know the writers sidelined Lottie A LOT but Travnat's lack of scenes are simply egregious. Their last scene in s2 was Travis touching her heart and s3 re- introduced their dynamic with a simple "oh they broke up!" Like they are in a cw show. I already have complained about the lack of Lottienat but what was going on in s3 of Yj?

[sancastarcs]

Mari's last words being smth adjacent to "oh fuck off" is literally the most mari thing ever. I am going to miss her so much.

[sancastarcs]

yeah i don't think i will ever be able to watch the first episode of Yellowjackets again. The dehumanisation of Mari, them having her naked and Shauna taking her hair and making them accessories to her clothes is one of the darkest moments of television ever. Mari Ibarra my sweet princess you deserved so much better 💔

[sancastarcs]

Lottie's role in s3 is....disappointing to say the least.

In the start of season 3 , Lottie talks about how she can't really connect to It anymore and tries to find any connection towards it again through Travis at first and then Akilah. At first i thought this would be an interesting character exploration for Lottie, the religious and prophet, having some Religious Faith problems. By the episode they find Ben, Lottie's religious problems have disappeared from thin air. The Antler Queen was also something very tied to her image in the previous two seasons. And don't get me started with the horrible handling of her Death. Season 3 seems very uninterested to have Lottie to do something with actual substance. Her death was a plot contrivance for a horrible murder mystery and development of Shauna, her s3 original arc being literally removed from episode 4 and her role has been heavily reduced. Simone and Courtney did the best they could do with the crumbs, but the writers seemed very uninterested with Lottie as a character this season.

while i did cry Very hard on mari's death scene, the direction they took with most of Yellowjackets being against the hunt of Mari with the exception of Lottie and Shauna, while extremely humanising, doesn't really make sense narratively or with the scene we saw in the pilot. The whole point of Yellowjackets was the fact that all of them AGREED to the cannibalism, that all of them started becoming like animals one by one, that they have become one with this force they can't control ( except from Natalie, who from day one has been the antithesis of the Wilderness, their only streak of their Humanity left) Having almost all the cast being against the hunting of Mari and making Shauna and Lottie the main villains take so much away from the horror psychological element of what The pilot was trying to show us. It also makes very little logical sense. If most of them were against Shauna and Tai seemed able to corner her, why didn't they do it sooner? What is the point of doing the Hunt when nobody except from Shauna and Lottie are willing to go through this? If most of them also don't like it ? Adult Shauna's monologue is exactly what the pilot promised, but the way the rest Yellowjackets were portrayed are extremely sympathetic and not really becoming one with being an animal or a cult. Which i think misses the point.
