Dear Supporter,
I hope this message finds you and your family in good health. My name is Eman Zaqout from Gaza. I am reaching you out to seek your urgent help in spreading the word about our fundraiser. I lost both my home and my job due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and we are facing catastrophic living conditions. đ
I kindly ask you to visit my campaign. Your support, whether through donating or sharing, will help us reach more people who can make a difference. Thank you for your continued support for the Palestinian cause. Your dedication brings us closer to freedom. đđ
Note: Verified by several people as 90-ghost and aces-and-angels. â
Iâm unsure exactly how to help, so Iâm just spreading the word as suggested.
The American government is still giving explosives and weaponry to the terrorists killing civilians, destroying homes, forcing people to leave behind pets and children, etc.
There are many protests and petitions going around in hopes of stopping the constant flow of destructive weapons, we can only hope that these people can get to safety before theyâre killed.
I had this idea about Phineas and Ferb:
Perry pays the bills and taxes, but one month he gets so caught up in work that he temporarily forgets.
The parents both thought that the other was paying all the bills, so then theyâre like âwaitâŚif IM not paying the bills, and YOURE not paying the billsâŚwho is??â
And then the family finds Perry paying the bills and stuff, but he goes platypus mode and so heâs just like âkrrrgrgggâ and instead of going âWTF how is Perry paying the bills??â The family is just like
âawww! Thanks Perry, youâre such a good platypus!! Good boy, Perry!â đĽ°đĽ°
So then if thereâs a court case over the house and the judge is like âokay who pays the bills?â Both the parents sigh before going âbring him in, boysâ
and Phineas & Ferb walk in holding Perry and the whole courtâs like âwhat???â
And then they show a video of Perry paying the pills & Taxes and the courts like:
âYOU ARENT EVEN QUESTIONING WHY YOUR PET PLATYPUS IS PAYING THE BILLS??? WHERE DOES HE GET THE MONEY??â And the whole family just shrugs and is like âwe were worried that if we questioned him he might think heâs not supposed to do that, so we just gave him some yummy treats and called him a good boy :]â
Yeah, I talk to my cat a lot, but sheâs always been very loud

Atmospheric zen video of my cat trying not to fall asleep sitting up next to a window while it rains. Keeping this one to relax me on stressful days
Directly copy pasted from where I just sent it in a discord group chat:
MY AUDHD KICKED IN AND I HYPERFIXATED ON SORTING ALL OF MY ART SUPPLIES FOR THE PAST 4 HOURS
I PUT OFF EATING UNTIL I WAS IN SO MUCH PAIN I COULDNT FOCUS
THEN I INSTANTLY WENT BACK AT IT
IM TRYING TO CONVINCE MY BRAIN THAT IM DONE FOR NOW BUT IT WANTS IT ALL DONE WITHOUT ANY MORE INTERRUPTIONS
HALP
PREACH!!
As an AFAB (still identify on the feminine part of the gender spectrum) person who got SAâd on multiple different occasions (5, 7, and 11 years old for the cases where I or the perpetrator werenât fully clothed, there were other occasions though, but they didnât really affect me as much) And tend to fear falling in love with people, even if I trust them: Being pregnant is scary in any case, whether you want to keep the pregnancy or not, itâs terrifying.
To any âpro lifersâ (more so pro-birth) or people who are confused or uneducated about pregnancy and birth:
â˘Pregnancy puts the personâs life at risk, and permanently affects the body even after the baby is born.
â˘non viable pregnancies can be mentally and physically devastating for people involved, and should be aborted for the pregnant personâs safety.
â˘Non viable pregnancies include: if a newborn is guaranteed to die after birth, stillborns, fetuses with severe defects, the pregnant person definitely not going to survive giving birth (such as children that are pregnant, people with severe health issues, some intersex and trans people, etc), and more
â˘if abortion was only allowed if the pregnancy was caused by SA/R@pe, many people who were SAâd/R@ped wouldnât be able to get abortions anyway, because most SA/R@pe cases donât get reported, arenât brought to court, are deemed false by court, etc.
â˘There is a difference between life and personhood. Plants are alive, but donât have personhood. A human corpse isnât alive, but has personhood. A fetus is technically alive, but isnât a person.
â˘if you think abortion is murder because a fetus has life, then farming is murder, picking mushrooms or roots is murder, taking antibiotics and getting vaccinated would be murder because bacteria and viruses are alive.
â˘Abortion is healthcare. An established life of a person is more important than a fetus with no personhood or consciousness.
Have some memes for your travels:
the "I believe in abortion only in extreme situations" people (especially women) truly baffle me because I genuinely consider "a human has another human growing inside of them and does not want to" to be a very extreme situation. to me that feels so deeply like an extreme emergency situation. I know this has been said before but it's incredible to me that this does not feel innately horrifying and "extreme" to everyone.
Might I add:
-the âpretend youâre a sim without a choiceâ method
-the âget someone else with executive dysfunction and help each other do stuffâ method
-the âpretend youâre piloting someone else to do their stuffâ method
-the âAsk for someone to breathe down your neckâ method
-the âpretend youâre a slave in medieval timesâ method
-the âmake jokes out loud about absolutely everything as you do itâ method (works best with sleep deprived delirium)
-the âsing a song about what youâre doingâ method (especially if you sing it oompa loompa style)
-the âpretend youâre possessed by your comfort character bc they want you to actually care for yourselfâ method
-the âbe loud and silly like ASDF while you do stuffâ method (works best if youâre alone OR have other people being loud and silly with you)

I just found out my mom is pregnant (18 weeks)
Being told that is really weird when you know a lot about the birds and the bees
One of my first responses was standing up, pointing to my mom and her bf, and yelling âYOU GUYS FUCKED-â
I hope I donât relate to those âmiddle child gets neglectedâ memes, bc that already happened when I was younger and would put over a decade of therapy down the drain.
âIs this kid gonna be traumatized like you and your older sister-â NO. OVER. MY. DEAD. BODY.
I will make sure this kid has the BEST CHILDHOOD POSSIBLE.
I just had the most random thought
What if the OG tale of werewolves was derived from a guy telling a woman she was âover exaggeratingâ her period pain, so she mauled him to death and left his mangled corpse in the woods-
SO THATS HOW YOU DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS?? I usually just send them to myself on discord and download it through that đ

This is a draft of something I've been writing for a couple months. It is mainly focused on the culture of the USA. Feel free to repost or otherwise share, with or without credit.
Give the gift of relief from being forced to engage in societyâs unsustainable ways of life.Â
âPeople need to eat more plant-based foods.â ->Talk about your favorite recipes, give others recipes, cook for them, and grow vegetables and plants in your garden and give them away as gifts.Â
âPeople need to repair their clothes.â -> Offer to repair othersâ clothes, and teach people how to repair their clothes.Â
âPeople need to buy less clothes.â -> Give them old clothes that you donât want, help them repair their clothes
âPeople need to buy less plastic stuff.â ->Â Learn to make things that can serve the same purpose, such as baskets, and give them as gifts. Let people borrow things you own so they donât have to buy their own.Â
âPeople need to stop using leafblowers and other gas-guzzling machinery.â -> Offer to rake the leaves. You can use them as compost in your own garden.Â
âPeople need to be more educated about nature.â->Â Learn about nature yourself. Tell people about nature. Be open about your love of creatures such as snakes, spiders, and frogs. Do not show awareness that this could be strange. You are not obligated to quiet down your enthusiasm for creepy crawlies to demonstrate awareness that it is weird. Point out at every opportunity how these animals are beneficial.Â
âPeople need to use cars less.â -> Offer rides to others whenever you must go somewhere. Whenever you are about to go to the store, ask your neighbor or your friend who lives along the way, âIs there anything you need from the store?âÂ
You cannot control othersâ behaviors, but you can free them from being controlled.Â
If you think to yourself, âBut this would be so difficult to do!â ask yourself WHY? Why does your society coerce you into less sustainable ways of living, forcing you to consume excessively? After thinking about this, consider that it is less simple and easy than you thought to make more sustainable choices, so why would you judge others for not doing it?Â
Environmentally friendly behaviors that can be done alone, without collaborating with or consulting another person, are the least powerful of all. Whenever an âenvironmentally friendlyâ behavior is suggested, figure out âHow can I give this as a gift?â or âHow can I make this possible on the level of a whole community?âÂ
âPersonal choicesâ do not work because every single person has to make them individually. If you are focused on making your own personal choice, you are not focused on others. If you are not focused on others, you are not helping them. If nobody is helping each other, most people wonât be able to make the âpersonal choice.â
            Start with your neighbors, the people physically close to you. You live on the same patch of land, containing roots from the same plants and trees. You can speak to them face to face without traveling, which means you can easily bring them physical things without using resources to travel.Â
            Always talk to your neighbors and be friendly with them. Offer them favors unprompted and tell them about how your garden is doing. Do not be afraid to be annoyingâa slightly annoying neighbor who is helpful, kind, and can be relied upon for a variety of favors or in times of need is a necessary and inevitable part of a good community. If you make the effort to be present in somebodyâs life, they will have to put up with you on some occasions, but that is just life. We cannot rely on each other if we do not put up with each other.Â
Every hour you spend outside with your neighbor is an hour your neighbor doesnât spend watching Fox News. Every hour you spend talking with someone and interacting with them in the real world, eating real food and enjoying your real surroundings, is an hour you donât spend only hearing a curated picture of what reality is like from social media.Â
            Isolation makes it easy for people to become indoctrinated into extremist beliefs. When someone spends more time alone, watching TV, Youtube, or scrolling social media, than they do with others, their concept of what other people are like and what the world is like comes more from social media than real life. TV and online media are meant to influence you in a specific way. Simply restricting the access these influences have to yourself and others is helpful.Â
If you grow a garden, you can give your neighbors and friends the gift of food, plants, and crafted objects. This is one of the foundational ways to form community. When you give food, you provide support to others. When you give plants, you are encouraging and teaching about gardening. It is even better when you give recipes cooked from things you grew, or items crafted from things you grew. You can also give the gift of knowledge of how to grow these plants, cook these recipes, or craft these objects.Â
            Some people are uncomfortable with receiving items or services as gifts. They want to feel like they are giving something back, instead of having obligation to return the favor hanging over them.Â
            It can help to ask a simple favor that can be easily fulfilled. People generally like the feeling of helping someone else.Â
When you give someone a gift, it can help to say something like âOh, I have too many of this thing to take care of/store/eat myself! Do you think you could take some?â This makes your neighbor feel like they are helping you.Â
When allowing others to borrow items, you might not get them back. Donât worry about that. It just means the item found a place where it was needed the most. You can ask about the item if you think it might have been forgotten, and this can create an opportunity for a second meeting. But donât press.Â
If the person you give to insists upon some form of payment, this is a good opportunity to negotiate a trade.Â
Ask your neighbor to save compostable scraps, biodegradable cardboard and paper products, and any other items that might be put to use. Use them in your own compost pile. Or, start a compost pile at the edge of the yard where you both can add to it. Remember that âwetâ compost like vegetable and fruit bits needs to be mixed with twice as much of âdryâ and âwoodyâ compost like cardboard, leaves, small twigs, paper and wood bits.Â
Overcome the cultural norm that the front yard is only decorative. Use the front yard for gardening so you can be seen by others enjoying your garden, and others can witness the demonstration of the possibilities of land. In the front yard, anything you do intentionally with your land can be witnessed. It also makes you a visible presence in your community.Â
Donât just grow vegetables that cannot be the core component of a meal themselves. Grow potatoes, dry beans, black eyed peas and other nourishing, calorie-dense foods. Grow the ingredients of meals. You could even build a garden around a recipe.
Be sure to send them home with leftovers. Â
Containers are one of the fundamental human needs. If we had more containers, we wouldnât need plastic so much. You can learn to make baskets, and to grow plants that provide the raw materials for baskets.Â
If you see someone putting leaves in bags, donât be afraid to ask if you can have the leaves. More likely than not they will be happy to agree.Â
In the border land between your neighborâs yard and your yard, it is almost always just mowed grass because no one can plant anything without it affecting their neighbor. But these border lands add up to a lot of space. It would be much better if you talked to your neighbor about what would be nice to plant there, and together created a plan for that space.Â
Make it clear that you will not get mad if the neighborâs kids play in your yard or run across it. Invite the neighbors onto your land as much as possible. Tell them they are allowed to spend time in a favored spot whenever they would like. Â
If there is a yard sale, you always know about it because of the hand-drawn signs placed around. Therefore, a cookout or unwanted item exchange can be announced the same way. In rural areas I have seen hand-made signs that say: FIREWOOD or WE BUY GOATS or EGGS. This is one of the few technologies of community that remain in the USA. If someone who looks to buy and sell can put up a hand-made sign, why shouldnât you? Â
Religious people or people with strong political opinions like to put signs everywhere. If they have the confidence and courage to do so, why shouldnât you?Â
So if there is a message you would like everyone to see, use the simple power of the hand-made sign. Proclaim âBEE FRIENDLY ZONE!â above your pollinator garden with all the confidence of a religious fundamentalist billboard. Announce to the world, âVEGETABLES FREE TO ALLâJUST ASK!â âWE TAKE LEAVESâNO PESTICIDES.â Instead of YARD SALE, or perhaps in conjunction with YARD SALE, you can write, PLANT EXCHANGE or SEED SWAP or CLOTHING SWAP. Who can stop you?Â
Some of these ideas might be eccentric, strange, or even socially unacceptable, but there is no way to change what is normal except to move against it. Someone has to be weird. It might as well be you.Â
