“Literature Is Indispensable To The World. The World Changes According To The Way People See It, And

a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, "wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it." has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was "itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike." . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.

Hello

my name is Aya, I am 26 years old, currently living in the northern part of Gaza City, and I am a mother of two children. My oldest is my daughter, Sana'a, who is 5 years old, and my youngest is my son, Wasfi, who is 3.

Since the morning of October 7th, 2023, our lives have been turned upside down. We have lived through the hardest days of our lives, facing displacement and homelessness. We have been forced to leave our home more than ten times since the war began. We would leave without knowing where to go.

We sought refuge in schools and relatives' homes, hoping we could return home and that this nightmare would end. But our house was bombed, and our dreams were destroyed. We became homeless and displaced.

Every day, we wake up to the sound of bombs and rockets. I lived in constant fear and terror with my children, especially when my family's house was bombed while we were taking shelter there.

We are experiencing a real famine in Gaza. I’ve gone to bed with my children many nights without dinner because there is no food available. We have had to eat animal and bird feed due to the high cost of flour just to fill the hunger of my young children. Even after eating it, we all suffered from diarrhea and severe stomach pain. My children developed rashes on their bodies due to the spread of viruses and the accumulation of garbage. There is also a severe shortage of water, and even when we find it, it's not safe to drink.

My children cry, asking for vegetables, fruits, and eggs, but we can’t afford them because we have no income. The gas shortage has forced us to use fire for everything—cooking and baking—using plastic and pipes because firewood is so hard to find.

My children also developed jaundice, and I struggled a lot to get them better because there was no access to vegetables, fruits, or medicine. I even feared that my son might have developed polio because he already had leg problems before the war, and they worsened due to malnutrition.

Winter is coming, and we have nothing for it. I need clothes and shoes for my children to keep them warm, but I can’t buy them because they are so expensive.

For this reason, I beg of you and hope that you can support me, even with the smallest contribution, so I can provide my children with the most basic necessities of life.

I was displaced with my children to my family's house, tears in my eyes. On the way, Salah Al-Din Street was bombed, and the Israeli occupation committed horrific massacres. By the grace of God, we survived for the first time. We lived in terror and fear. A few days later, my family's house was bombed, and we were pulled out from under the rubble, miraculously surviving for the second time.

When my husband heard the news that we had died, he came to bid us farewell, only to find us alive by God's grace. We returned with him, but as the situation worsened and the fire belts in our area increased, we started to flee again and again, not knowing where to go next.

I beg of you to share my story and help me continue to live.

🥺

I never thought of 'bloo' as a possible derivative for my username, probably because it really is short for 'blood oranges' so uh yeah😅(it is pretty cute~) Oh boy I get you though, I am OBSESSED with cardistry and cards in general, pretty sure I never really grew up from my Kaito Kid phase

Hey Niko!!!!!!

I hope you are well and having the best time (unlike me and my poor brain due to exam season😑).For the ask game...number 4+34.

Have a great day💖💖

HI BLOO!!!! ( is it alright if i call you that, I've been using it in my head and it's very cute 2 me )

OH GOSH exam season. Wishing you the absolute best of luck and a lovely lovely day <3 :3

4. Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?

ooohhhh... it's definitely a mixture of listening to music, watching films, and browsing through pinterest. TSP was heavily inspired by some of my favorite movies ( Last night in Soho, Chinatown, the Third Man, etc. etc. ) but also little, random things like my actual real-life academic pursuits in law and psychology, and also . . . seeing a random poker hand while looking at drawing references and learning that this

is called the 'Dead Man's Hand' <- you can see where TDB got it's logo from. after that, things just spiralled.

34. Five years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer?

Hopefully a better one! If you'd asked me this question five years ago, when I was just starting to create my original works and languages and characters, i'd have said 'published!' but since writing isn't what i want to do as a career ( and I'm not an English major, god forbid ), it's a hobby I'm letting myself take slowly, and take my sweet time to develop :)

tiny death roll

wait,wait,wait.Hold on.So Fyodor was around from the time of the crusaders and we've pretty much all agreed he's 'immortal' but like.....what abt his cameo in season 4 in untold origins,like.He looks like a kid to me in that one,no?Can he repeat his lives or whatever (timeloop-ish kinda situation)?Or is he some shapeshifter or smthg? I don't know what I'm saying anymore

Can't believe I'm saying this but the weather is slowly changing in Gaza again and it rained quite heavily this week. Knowing this while literally 90% of Gaza's population has been displaced, many living in makeshift tents, is a terrifying thought. Since last week's rain, many people are left without a place to stay and their belongings destroyed by the rain.

The cost of tents is between $700 and $800 which is beyond practically everyone in Gaza right now. However, the Sameer Project are crowdfunding and providing these families with tents. You can help out by either donating and/or sharing their initiative with your friends and community members.

sorry to all the “bsd is badly written” believers unfortunately there is no feeling quite like doing background research and having a lightbulb moment when you make the connection of why asagiri wrote a character a certain way
