i wish i was a normal girl

Hello,

I am Ahmed, 31 years old, with my wife Asmaa and our children: Mohammed (9 years old), Kareem (6 years old), Namer (4 years old), and Sahad (1.5 years old). We have faced many challenges in this war, starting from the destruction of our home to the famine we continue to endure in northern Gaza.

My son Mohammed suffers from motor and

hearing disabilities, among other health

issues. I used to have a workshop for windows, kitchens, and all aluminum work, but due to the war, my livelihood was completely destroyed, and I can no longer meet our basic needs.

This is our home that was destroyed in this terrible war.

My goal is to leave Gaza to save my family's lives. The cost of travel is $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, plus travel and accommodation expenses.

Together, we can support Ahmed and his family during this ordeal. Your donation, regardless of its size, can make a difference in the lives of these children who need a fresh start.

If you're looking to support Ahmed and his family, please consider providing assistance directly or through relevant charitable organizations.

I hope everyone is safe

Ahmed Alanqar

i adore how the one and only thing that unifies fans of the boys is that everyone just wants Hughie to have ONE good day. just one.

Many people think the problem with cultural appropriation is inauthenticity (vague, nebulous) rather than marginalized people functionally getting robbed

The discourse afaik started with the very real and very insidious practice of white producers functionally dominating Black music for decades, paying Black artists peanuts or nothing & pushing for (better-paid, more mainstream-palatable) white artists playing in Black styles. In the sphere I'm most personally familiar with, it looks like most indigenous artforms that white people encounter in their lives being produced by and for settlers, and the profits largely being aggregated to settlers while traditional ndn artists struggle. I think using the terminology and losing sight of the economic damage - especially in favor of more nebulous frames like cultural authenticity - is doing real harm by dilution and contributing to the very thing it purports to fight

One of the most disgusting and shocking things trump ever did was exploit Kanye’s manic episode. The video of Kanye in the Oval Office is so disturbing, Trump makes my skin crawl in it. I remember watching that and then Lana Del Rey scolding him for wearing the hat and getting into it with Azealia. Who was on her way to making a comeback when Grimes sabotaged it by making her wait in a mansion alone with Elon musk for days, assuming she’d have sex with him. Which would reward grimes somehow? They got into it….Azealia kind of won…then designed the logo for Skims for Kanye…had a falling out with him…exposed him and Kim’s infidelity. Than Kim wanted to one up everyone and worked with trump for prison reform. And Azealia started a war with the nation of Ireland. ….I actually love America so much.

this tweet has the same effect on me as like a sylvia plath quote

man with excellent self restraint dismayed to realize that not wanting anything is more likely a depression symptom than a carefully honed skill that atones for other aspects of his character
