for muhammed @ahmed0khalil ! muhammed is only 19 years old and has been tasked with supporting his whole family on his own. he’s a very sweet person who clearly cares about his little brother ahmed a whole lot, so he asked me to draw his brother for him 💖💖
ahmed had just started school when the war started. this boy is only six years old, clearly a silly and fun-loving child who had his life ripped away from him.
please consider donating to support this family if you have the means to. they need all the support they can get amid rising prices in gaza and extreme conditions.
ahmed and muhammed’s campaign is verified by:

The most interesting thing about the upcoming ‘Hunger Games’ book ‘Sunrise On The Reaping’ is that Israel bombed 40 children at a UN school in central Gaza last night.

The Helena diaz of it all has me fascinated. I’ve said for a long while that Eddie’s real issues are his mommy issues and this episode just cemented for me that we’re gonna explore that and deal with it.
Because it’s Helena who forced Eddie to grow up to fast - because her husband wasn’t around much - so she pushed Eddie into de facto parent and husband role ls - selfishly filling her needs and ignoring the damage it was doing to her son (it is a form of abuse in my book).
Eddie then had the audacity to fall in love with and marry Shannon and get her pregnant. It’s why Helena was always so off with Shannon - she was punishing her. She is also punishing Eddie for all of this and his refusal to return to El Paso only cemented further her bitterness and resentment.
Now she does have Ramon back she doesn’t need Eddie any longer to fill that role so she is still punishing him and part of that is tied into her glee over now getting to parent Christopher - something she has always been intent on doing the doppelgänger just gave her the opportunity- as well as allowing her to further punish her son and his love of Shannon.
Her barbed comments about building a pool were all about showing what she can provide Christopher - how she is parenting him better than Eddie - it’s part of her mind games - making Eddie feel like more of a failure as a parent to his son.
The reality of course is that the reverse is true - Helena’s parenting is all superficial, flash and showy - it isn’t the hard day to day parenting when things get tough and you have to be the bad guy. While Eddie has made mistakes, there is nothing superficial, flash, or showy about his parenting. It’s why bucks comments about Eddie being a great dad are so important.
Eddie feel like a failure right now and that he is entirely to blame for everything. But in reality, while he does bear a bit of the responsibility, the truth of the matter is that he needs to learn and deal with the fact that all of it actually stems from Helena and her abuse of her young son - Shannon never stood a chance just like Eddie never has.
#genuinely don’t see how she can get any sort of redemption arc#but this is 911 so maybe they’ll find a way 🤷🏻♀️#Helena’s treatment of Eddie is a form of child abuse - it has done so much damage to him psychologically#I do really hope we finally get to meet Sophia and adriana as part of this arc beciase I think it might be very revealing#I am also wondering if Ramon had a stache in the past - and that is what Eddie is subconsciously trying to mimic#and that is about him trying to regain his mothers affection - trying to fill that husband role she forced him into#and that shaving it off is a part of his dealing with that and choosing to free himself from her clutches#and in doing that - standing up for himself etc - it will be the trigger that v ring schristopher back#the catholic guilt and Eddie’s queerness is also all tied up in this - the church reinforces and condones Helena and her actions#the Catholic Church has a long history of abuse of children in all it’s horrendous forms#so Eddie seeking solace in that direction think it will help him find away back to Helena’s good books only for it to open a few doors he#has bolted shut#as for the queer aspect - forcing Eddie to grow up too fast and fill this role of husband to his mother and parent to his siblings means#Eddie never got the chance to learn who he actually is - to explore his sexuality and all that goes with that - at the age one normally#would - as a teenager and into your 20’s. it explains so much around his relationship with Shannon and dealing with the helana of it all#and the queerness of his identity - will also allow him to actually let Shannon go#Eddie’s arc is going to be incredible - heartbreaking and gut wrenching - but incredible#Helena diaz it’s on sight - she is evil and cannot be redeemed in my eyes!#911 spoilers#Thinky thoughts#eddie diaz#911 abc

I love being multilingual. I love reading books so much. and I know most of langblr and bookblr is about academia or classics but my heart is in children's literature. I grew up with my own language and my own country's literature. I get to have my childhood favorite books in my language. and then as I grow up and learn others I get to enjoy other people's childhood favorite books. sometimes I've progressed enough in my language to enjoy those foreign books in their own original language and be filled with joy as I realize how this would have shaped a generation of people. I get to go "what is this word" and look up and have a spark of joy as I memorize a BIG word in a new language. I get to gasp at reveals and twists and turns and fairy tales and romances and horrors of all your children's literature because my language level is still progressing and every new word fills me with wonder. I get to have my childhood and I get to have other people's childhood through my childlike language abilities. I love it. I love reading books!
#everytime I read children or middle grade children's books in my non-native languages#my heart BLOOMS with joy#this is like being a child again. I would never miss it for the world#and especially not to avoid judgement of total strangers who are snobbish about children's literature#yes I'd love to learn your language#yes I'd LOVE to know your childhood favorite books#let me speak your language read your language#walk on the path that is made of your language#please please pretty please?#studyblr#langblr#bookblr#multingual#multilinguist#please feel free to tag this with your native language and your childhood favorite books (series are welcome!%#if I ever get to know your language I will try to read your childhood favorite books

Okay I'll speak a thought
It's hard for me to take 'does Curlfeather deserve to go to The Dark Forest' seriously because I believe the dark forest is an inherently flawed system no cat really deserves to go to
It's hammered in that it's an entirely horrible place to exist in, and there's no incentive or opportunities for cats to change their ways, learn better, or get help if a lack of it contributed to their actions already. And even when they do manage to do so, there's still no hope for them. They're still stuck in Cat Hell, surrounded !!for eternity!! by the unmonitored violence of the other df cats.
The only cat who got close as far as I know was Juniperclaw, who has to serve Starclan in a tunnel forever without ever being allowed to join them.
Seemingly, the only way for these cats to really change their situation from there is by breaking through on their own, usually through the use of violence, so I'm Not surprised the great battle [OOTS] came about.
Not to mention if we go off what we learned of Snowtuft in TBC, they don't even remember what they did to be in the dark forest after enough time has passed, so at that point it seems exceedingly cruel.
Of course these cats, including Curlfeather, deserve to face consequences for their actions, but the dark forest seems like a pointless way of just causing more pain for the sake of it. And it's the same punishment regardless of the crime, while we know many cats who arguably do things of the same severity are allowed into Starclan just fine
I could say so much more I have so many thoughts but I don't want this to get too long
look at this
#feel free to lmk if i got any facts wrong in here i don't always remember things with 100% accuracy and I did minimal research to factcheck#i know its just a childrens book and is not very well written but i have such thoughts on it#i understand that many of the cats in the dark forest did genuinely terrible things but so many of them could have recovered or learned#better with the proper help and even those who were more severe than that ill say it i dont think deserve hell for eternity with no chance#of redemption or respite under any circumstances#curlfeather#wc#warrior cats#asc#a starless clan#'does curlfeather deserve to go to the dark forest?' no#'was curlfeather right in all she did?' no#rudyposting#.txt

Jacq Has Celiac
Jacq Has Celiac is a children's story about a young girl who has celiac disease and feels excluded in the school lunch setting. She cannot eat the same as her friends and feels alone, especially while socializing during lunchtime with her friends. With her parents' support, Jacq comes up with a solution to help all her friends, including those on other restrictive food diets, feel connected while having lunch together at school.
It is a sweet story about empowerment, unity, and friendship. The illustrations are captivating in creativity, vibrant colors, and relatability. They will put a smile on your face as you feel drawn to follow Jacq along her gluten-free journey at school.

my library is doing a Summer Learning Challenge and i signed up to count my hours read (process-based, holistic, flexible, achievable) and not my number of books read (would be so fucking satisfying to game thru children's books and freakish reading speed). actually typing this out i wonder if they let you change it
#im not competing for anything as far as i can tell. free tote bags for all#by children's books i mean specifically rereading a pile of tamora pierce & maybe terry pratchett

Photo
Imaging a World with You
A poster was created in collaboration with the School Library Journal and Children’s Book Council to support LGBTQIA+ children and teens. I was honored to make a piece in support of acceptance in literature, especially with how incredibly hostile folks have been to books in this, to quote Carl Lennertz, “era of intolerance and censorship”.
The poster is available for free download here.

It’s ironic that Hephaestus has more written evidence of being a mama’s boy than Ares. Yet Ares is the one portrayed as a mama’s boy more often.
#I enjoy ares being a mama’s boy but evidence of him being such are surprisingly limited#Hephaestus defended Hera from Zeus’s abuses 2 or 3 times#tried to comfort her after she was yelled at in book 1 of the Iliad#tried to defend her from Zeus only to be thrown off Olympus#tried to free his mother from being chained and tortured only to be thrown off Olympus#yet for some reason ppl act like they hate each other#when Hephaestus is surprisingly not a vengeful guy#greek mythology#greek pantheon#ancient greek mythology#hera#greek goddess#hera goddess#hera deity#zeus#hera greek mythology#hera x zeus#hera children#goddess hera#hephastios#hephaestus greek mythology#Hephaestus
