people think writers make good English teachers but the opposite is true. sixth grader asks why she can’t start a sentence with “and” and im like idk girlie grammar is a construct and language is a fluid gelatinous animal. people used to write “thou” and they were being totally unironic about it. start your sentences with an exclamation point for all i care. a+

Every protein bar is called something like "double chocolate indulgence caramel cookie dough delight crunch" and tastes like clay and sawdust

I don't know how long this will last, but all I hear is: Iran, Israel, America... as if Gaza doesn't exist, as if the world has forgotten the people suffering there.

I don't know how long this will last, but the situation here in Gaza is getting worse every day after the war between Iran and Israel. I forgot about Gaza. No one talks about us anymore, and the news doesn't mention us. All that is being discussed is Iran, Israel, and America.It's as if they forgot that the main problem is Gaza.

this is about oil. don’t forget that. this is like 99% about oil. they’ve hijacked everything, countries, religions, ethnicities, languages, all to use as cover stories for their invasions and wars for oil. The United States works for exxon, chevron, british petroleum, etc.

In a bombed-out neighborhood of Gaza, Rania, a 26-year-old woman, stood staring at the pile of stones and twisted iron where her home had once stood. The wind was raising dust and whipping it across her cheeks, but she didn't shed a single tear. Her eyes were fixed, as if trying to recall something beyond the destruction: memories, laughter, the smell of bread in the morning, and the fragrant jasmine her mother had planted near the door.

Rania wasn't just a survivor. She was a painter. But her paintings no longer adorned the walls of galleries or small cafes. Now, she painted on the ruins of her homeland, trying to immortalize what could never be recovered.

In her right hand, she held a small, dusty notebook and in her left, a pencil. She sat on a broken stone that had been part of her home's staircase and began to paint. She didn't draw the destruction as it is, but as she saw it: The house standing, the windows open, the white curtains moving in the breeze, her mother calling her from the kitchen, her little brother running down the corridor, and herself looking out from the balcony to draw the sea. She was engraving the lines of memory with her pen as if to say, "Perhaps flying can erase walls, but no one can erase what I draw." A young neighbor passed by, recognized her, and asked, "Are you still drawing despite everything?" She replied, without taking her eyes off the paper, "I don't draw despite everything... I draw because everything is over." Rania's drawings spread across the internet, and people began to see her destroyed house through her eyes. One painting was titled "The House as It Was," another: "The Room I Dreamed of," and "The Fig Tree That Didn't Last the Season." In a world where images proliferate without a soul, Rania's paintings were a window beyond the destruction: an invitation to see not only what was lost, but also what must return. Although she still sleeps in a room without a roof, each painting she creates is a new ceiling for a homeland that never died.

I'm bringing you an investment opportunity in Gaza for just $10.

$10! Yes, only $10.

For Ahmed, a student from Gaza, $10 was enough to restore hope for himself and his family, imagine that.

He was displaced from northern Gaza, and the displacement was enough to justify him stopping his studies. When he returned from the displacement, he found his house destroyed and his friends martyred. He promised his mother and father that he would rebuild their home and provide for his family after the occupation bombed his father's workplace.

Ahmed didn't give up and kept trying to continue his education.

A $10 donation, a simple gesture for you, the price of a juice or coffee, but for us in Gaza, we were able to restore hope to Ahmed and his family with this amount.

With $10, you won't just be helping a student, but an entire family whose dreams are hanging on their son, who promised to rebuild their home.

So, let's ask ourselves:

How many like Ahmed are still in Gaza that we haven't been able to reach?

Did you know that there are 90,000 university students, and these university students are supposed to be the breadwinners for their families in light of the difficult situation?

90,000 students and future heads of families have lost their places in education and lost hope of having a decent life in this country.

Support a student today so that he can support his family and his country. Invest $10, be a part of rebuilding Gaza.

Campaign donation link or PAYPAL

The student is waiting for you... don't let him down.

We are trying to save up for next month's rent which is $2000 $5000/$7000 now

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh
