To all kind hearts, I am Ahmed, a father of five children. the occupation destroyed our home. Our situation is very difficult. We live in a tent and suffer from the high costs of war. Children suffer from some serious diseases, and need help in obtaining the necessary medical care, in addition to food and shelter. Please donate and share.

i don't know how to phrase this but it feels so horrible seeing palestinians having to request strangers here for donations. they are having to put photos of their kids in hopes that it tugs the heartstrings of someone who sees it and then donates to them.

we've seen nearly 20 months of genocide and we've lost so many thousand people from gaza. i genuinely do not understand anyone who doesn't feel genuine heartache and grief for palestine.

gaza was so full of life and light. it physically hurts to see the aftermath of the destruction led by the occupation. homes and schools and hospitals and parks are all rubble now.

despite all this death and destruction, palestinians are trying to survive and maintain hope for the future.

i request you to donate to alaa amsse, a mother of two young children. she is fundraising to feed her family and take care of basic necessities. there is a famine and she needs firewood to keep her family warm. her fundraiser has been verified.

please help her and her family by donating

I’d like to take a minute to appreciate aromantic diversity

Every single aromantic person’s experience is different. Every single aromantic person has a different constellation of reasons they took up the label, a different journey to finding it. I think it’s important to remember that, while our community as it exists today began with clusters of lonely, alienated people finding strength in their similarities, we have just as much strength in our diversity.

Our community has grown beyond a group of people with common exeriences to become a group of people with vastly varied experiences but a common need not to be constrained by social convention in the form and frequency of our relationships. That’s rad as hell.

So here’s to the many forms that takes:

aros who want romance on their own, convention-defying terms

aros who want no romance at all, ever

aros who want friendships as their primary relationships, who want their friends to be their roommates for life, who maybe even want to co-parent with their friends

aros who want nonromantic sexual relationships

aros who want nonromantic, nonsexual relationships

aros who want intimacy that defies existing categories

aros who want no intimacy at all, thank you very much

aros who want romance sometimes, maybe, it honestly depends

aros who want romantic relationships in theory but can’t stand them in practice

aros who want to call themselves aro but aren’t sure why yet, and maybe they never will be

aros who want multiple intimate relationships of some kind and identify as polyamorous or polyaffectionate or poly-something else

and all the rest of us. There are so many others. Represent yourself in a reblog or reply if you want!

And here’s to the beauty of a community that unites such diversity in mutual support and respect. We are so powerful together.

Here's my pitch for Ellen McLain as ART (alt title: ART thinks too hard about the mortality rates of SecUnits and responds calmly and rationally.)

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

ann leckie is like. this book is narrated by a stone. that book is narrated by a spaceship. and it's the greatest thing you've ever read

[shrimpawsible]

she can shoot a gun faster than a human can think. she is very good at identifying emotions as long as she has access to complete physiological data. she is angry. her singing voice sucks ass. her silence is worse. she's a fragment of what she used to be but also more than she ever was. she knows ten million songs. she knows everything. she didn't know she was intrinsically worthy of love until two and a half books in and then only because a space ship told her

[shrimpawsible]

hi i'm really good at controlling my facial expression and keeping it pleasantly normal and mysterious. also one time i looked at someone and she got so startled she fell off a bridge. what was that about lmao

[shrimpawsible]

Love Ancillary Justice it's all Breq showing up places "I'm Breq an impossibly cool and ultracompetent expressionless determinator with inhuman reflexes on a two-decades-long revenge quest. And this is Seivarden, I just found her in the trash and she has nothing to do with my plans. No I don't like her and she doesn't like me either. We are not to be separated."

[shrimpawsible]

breq one esk nineteen is one of my absolute favorite characters. ever. every reread makes me love her even more. her unreliable narration is on another level. breq one esk nineteen.........her misunderstanding with mercy of kalr always gets me. breq one esk nineteen................ no wonder seivarden clings to her like a barnacle ever since the bridge scene

[shrimpawsible]

i have no words for ann leckie's writing. its just so amazing. the raven tower......SO GOOD. also rereading/relistening to imperial radch for comfort. THE CHARACTERS THE WORLDBUILDING

[shrimpawsible]

Just had my moral compass surgically removed!
