Four Daughters (2023)

FOUR DAUGHTERS (2023) will burrow into your soul and lay bare the human condition. Read my review.

Original Title: Les filles d’Olfa Four Daughters, the brainchild of Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania, is a documentary unlike any other I’ve seen. It weaves a heartbreaking narrative around Olfa Hamrouni, a mother grappling with the loss of her two eldest daughters to Islamic extremism. Ben Hania doesn’t get into the specifics of radicalisation; instead, she focuses on the emotional fallout…

The four of them, huddled together in front of the ruins of a building. Text reads, "On October 7, 2023, everything changed. In December, Eslam and her family were displaced from their home. Then, her husband's learning center was blown up. By March 2024, Eslam's family had found their home completely destroyed.

Two sleeping children. Text reads, "Eslam's family has been living in a tent ever since. Her daughters have suffered from multiple skin diseases because the costs of soap and food are extremely high. With your help, Eslam's family can have better chances of living, or even evacuating Gaza. Please donate to their campaign if you can." /end ID]

Four Daughters Review (Doc NYC 2023)- An UnconventionalWay To Tell A Story

Documentary filmmaking can be a mixed bag. So many topics and stories can be put into film but most of them are stories of people and situations I haven’t heard of before. Probably a lot of people haven’t heard of them. That’s a good thing though because it helps me and others learn about people and stories that need to be told. Four Daughters unconventionally tells this interesting story.  Olfa…

Cannes 2023: 'Four Daughters' Review

The hijab carries a profound significance beyond being a mere garment. As Ilhan Omar once eloquently expressed, “It embodies power, liberation, beauty, and resistance.” Yet historically, it has increasingly been manipulated for power. Tunisia’s struggle for independence from French colonial rule serves as an example of this. Initially, the hijab symbolized the preservation of Tunisian cultural…

[ 📹 Scenes from the recovery of two young girls who were murdered as a result of bombing by the Israeli occupation army on the residential home of the Zaino family home in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City. ]

🇮🇱⚔️🇵🇸 🚀🏘️💥🚑 🚨

MURDER OF PALESTINIAN CHILDREN CONTINUES ENDLESSLY AS ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD IGNORES GENOCIDE

The leadership of nearly the entire collective West continues to look away while pocketing the profits of the Israeli occupation's ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, with American-made bombs continuing to drop on civilian families, residential homes, and public infrastructure in the Palestinian enclave.

According to local reporting, the Israeli occupation forces bombed a residential apartment belonging to the Banat family in the vicinity of the Al-Sousi Mosque in central Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of five Palestinian civilians who were transported to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in the city.

The five killed were from a single family, and included the deaths of Kamal Awad Banat, along with his son Abdul Salam, and his daughters Raghad, Hidaya, and Rama, while his daughter Rawaa remains missing under the rubble.

Meanwhile, Zionist warplanes bombed a residential apartment in the Saad building, belonging to the Al-Ghafri family in the Al-Mashahra area of Al-Nafaq Street, in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

Following the bombing, the bodies of four Palestinian corpses were recovered from the rubble, while several wounded civilians were taken to Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital.

In yet another atrocity, occupation fighter jets bombed a residential building belonging to the Al-Zard family in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, east of Gaza City.

After the assault, local ambulance and civil crews managed to recover bodies of three civilians, while 7 others wounded in the bombing were taken to a local hospital.

Similarly, occupation warplanes bombed a house west of the Nuseirat Refugee Camp, in the central Gaza Strip, killing three Palestinians and wounding a number of others, while several civilians were wounded earlier in the day after Zionist aircraft bombed a house opposite the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis.

According to local medical reporting, at least 30 Palestinians have been killed since dawn on Wednesday, while the bodies of 14 murdered Palestinians have been recovered from the city of Rafah, south of Gaza, since dawn today.

At the same time, the Director of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territories, Andrea Di Domenico, said today, Wednesday, July 3rd, that 9 out of 10 Palestinians in Gaza have been "displaced at least once."

The current death toll in the Gaza genocide now exceeds 37'953 Palestinians killed, while another 87'266 others have been wounded since October 7th, 2023.

Sea Sickness

Sea Sickness

Luke Hughes x fem!reader (established relationship, but still new)

Idea: Reader gets nauseous from being on the boat at the Hughes’s Lake House and snuggles up to Luke.

Requested: Nope. 

Author’s Note:  I know I’m bouncing around who I’m writing for, but I’m on a NHL spree right now. I also get nauseated if I'm on a boat or in the ocean for too long. Fun Fact: I wrote the beginning part of this on a note card while working by myself in the OR today. We had a really long case where I just had to check up on people during the middle of it (hence why I wrote this on a card because I don’t like going on my phone when I’m in the OR. It's unprofessional). I don’t know any of these people personally. The closest I’ve gotten to the team (that wasn’t just playing in the band at the games or when they were walking past us down the 2023 red carpet in tampa) was a tuba was talking to some of them in his plane row on the ride back from that trip (he ended up being the tuba you see in the senior picture from 2024) and one of the coaches had to share our bus on the way back from the 2023 frozen four game with his wife and two young daughters (I kept trying to get the younger one to smile at me unsuccessfully).  Someone from my hotel room also shared the elevator ride up with the entire Fantilli family the night they lost that game in 2023 (I think Adam also won the Hobey Baker award that same night). I’ve also been playing my lego lord of the rings game. Anyway, enjoy this little blurb.

Tagging some of my favorite Hughes/NHL writers, love y’all.

I'm now sad when I'm uploading this because a friend from college drumline has an incurable brain cancer. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers (he's only 19 or 20).

Requests are still open.  Feedback is always appreciated.  Also, tell me if you want to be part of a Tag List and I’ll tag you when I upload something new. If you want to only be tagged when I upload something for a certain character or shows, let me know as well.  

Warning: None, just general fluff. Feeling sick on a boat. 

Word Count: 488

Being on a boat wasn’t your most favorite thing in the world, mainly because the last time you were on a boat, it got stuck in the middle of the laek and had to be towed back to shore (true story), but when your boyfriend Luke invited you to spend the weekend at the lakehouse with ihs brothers and friends, you weren't going to say no. The weekend had been filled with lots of eating, playing outside, and the boys being competitive at every game they pick up (even the old board game you brought to teach them how to play).  Just trying to keep up with them all was exhausting, so that’s how you ended up on the back of the boat enjoying the warm air instead of diving into the water again.  The boys had been going back and forth between wakeboarding and chatting on the boat deck. With them supplying the lake with plenty of waves, the constand up and down was starting to make your stomach sick.  You scooched over and made yourself comfortable laying your head on Luke’s shoulder.  He then opened his arms and wrapped you in his warm embrace so you could crawl on his lap and snuggle closer to his chest. 

“You feeling ok?” 

“Yeah, just want to stop the constant movement.” It was getting to a point were you just wanted to stop the constant movement.  It being really hot out didn’t help either. 

“We’ll head to shore soon. Then we can cool off inside.” 

Being wrapped up in Luke’s embrace with his fingers gently carding through your hair or down your shoulder leaving goosebumps in their wake and shading you with his fit body definitely helped keep your mind off of your stomach and the boat’s ever shifting movements.  Luke wasn’t much of a pda person, but you always encouraged him to show little bits of it at least in front of his family or close friends.  

Little did you know, that’s exactly who was eyeing the interaction.  Jack, Quinn, Trevor, Cole, and Dylan all had stopped what they were talking about in favor of watching the interaction between you two.  Eventhough they were not all related, they felt like proud older brothers seeing Luke be so considerate and affectionate in front of them.  Of couse they’re all going to tease him relentlessly later about this, but they were gentlemen in regards to respecting the timing and the moment.

“Just lay down and close your eyes. We’ll be on shore soon.”  You snuggled deeper into Luke’s neck keeping your eyes closed and focused on his soft skin, his natural scent, and the way his warm body curled around yours. He even tugged on your legs to pull you fully into his lap as his large frame wrapped around your body fully encasing you in his warmth and comfort. 

Nothing better than enjoying the summer with those you love.

Heian Era! Sukuna having a daughter? (Who is a daddy’s girl or a mixture of a daddy’s and mama’s girl?)

𝗱𝗮𝗱𝗱𝘆’𝘀 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹 w. ryomen sukuna

a/n. loved this idea so i couldn’t help but make hcs about them!

ᰔᩚ i firmly believe she’d be the spitting image of her father. she’d have some of her mama’s features but growl and bite just like her daddy.

ᰔᩚ she’d be such a menace compared to the other children.

ᰔᩚ always on daddy’s lap, listening to his stories or receiving his gentle pats.

ᰔᩚ sukuna would be the type to ruffle his daughter’s hair before sending her to terrorize other kids.

ᰔᩚ you know that one pic of hemsworth holding his kid by the foot at the beach, yeah that’s him. he’d play rough with her daughter and she’d have so much fun.

ᰔᩚ would dominate the world if she could. with her daddy, of course.

ᰔᩚ sukuna could throw his kid away just for her to come running back with a big-ass smile asking to do it again.

ᰔᩚ he’d often correct her when she doesn’t spell things right but would also call his daughter names like; little demon, brat, pain in my ass or fœtus.

ᰔᩚ she would never be disgusted by any of sukuna’s features. i just know that, as a baby, she was amazed at his four arms and two faces, gripping his cheeks and giggling when he evilly smirked at his daughter with all of his teeth.

ᰔᩚ i want to believe that she’s the only one allowed to mess with sukuna. she’d throw her food in his face and bite him out of nowhere.

ᰔᩚ by the way, nobody would ever dare to touch his precious little offspring. she’s showered with gifts and treats wherever she goes so that her smile never fades. cause let me tell you that, if it did, sukuna would make sure that nobody ever experiences an ounce of happiness again.

ᰔᩚ i’m telling you, this girl is getting pampered. it’s the king’s little princess and she deserves the whole world.

ᰔᩚ she’s getting spoiled 24/7.

ᰔᩚ i also have a feeling that his daughter would want to be strong like him. always asking sukuna when will it be her turn to inspire fear into the hearts of the people. she’s so impatient and annoys the shit out of her dad with the same question.

ᰔᩚ it would also be her type to gather a bunch of kids just to play pretend as a queen who executes them one by one. her evil laughter is already on point.

ᰔᩚ physically speaking, she’d have some of her daddy’s marks and eyes, but she’d look like such a sweetheart with her mommy’s overall traits.

ᰔᩚ sukuna is so big compared to her daughter so he’d walk around with her on his shoulders or just holding her like a bag of potatoes. she would love little rides like these and would always ask her daddy to pick her up.

ᰔᩚ he’d be annoyed but his daughter would be one of the most precious thing he has and will do everything in his power to make her exactly like him.
