Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. Iām a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and Iām reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.
We are a family of 15ā10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and Iām doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.
š A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My familyās needs are basic yet criticalāfood, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.
With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sisterās home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.
⨠My Plea for Your Support ⨠Iām a writer, and Iāve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.
š How You Can Help
Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing the essentials we desperately need.
Share Our Story: If you canāt donate, please share this post to help us reach others who can.
Your support will help provide food for the children, clean water for my family, and basic supplies to help us survive this unimaginable crisis.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can create a lifeline for my familyāa chance to live, to dream, and to hope again.
With love and gratitude, Areej Kassab ā¤ļø
A snake story, based on an experience I had while I was in Florida.
Iāve been having these recurring dreams of a seaside town called Marlowe Bay from the POV of a young man named Osborne Scarborough living in his dadās lighthouse and this is gonna be a long post of everything Iām gonna share that I saw in each dream in this town (more to come in reblogs)
1. Thereās a washed up ivory clawfoot bathtub on the beach full of rope net, seaweed, a sea star, a gold monocle, a leather bag covered in barnacles and grime, and a single crab holding the monocle on the beach.
2. Martha Hampshire the closest neighboring lady with the white and red polka dotted dress and birds nest hair.
3. Fenton the lab mix. I love you Fenton.
4. Mr. Catch and his small fishing boat (accompanied by Fenton) with his marbled false eye and scallop shell tattoo.
5. Something about Osborneās father causing Osborneās eyes to tear up just hearing him be mentioned.
6. The young girl standing where the cliff met the pier, with a crab trap on her left foot like a shoe in the mist.
7. The way Osborne puts his gold rimmed glasses in his dadās blue fisherman hat before he went to bed every night curled up in that big thick blue blanket in the lofty bed of the lighthouse.
Fuck yeah International Womenās Day

Something happened to Osborneās dad that made him disappear and I keep seeing that heās freaking out over it.
