Desperate Plea: A Call For Relife‼️ 🥀

Hello, It's Momen Al Madhoun, writing from the most miserable area in the whole world, I am deeply thankful to all of you. Your support means the world to my family

🍉🍉🍉 I urgently plead you to keep sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and acquaintances

15 months have passed as if it were 15 years, and suffering increasing day after day 😔 Our health is decaying, we have NO IMMUNITY to fight diseases. No healthy food to feed our worn cells. Finding a quiet, clean place for us to get some rest is IMPOSSIBLE! I'm in urgent need of serious financial support so that I can take action and save my family! Our faces speak the misery we're going through! my children can't bear the ruthlessness of war life… pain and cold does not allow either of them to sleep 💔

I found in drawing a way to relieve stress and describe what we are experiencing, but even this i was deprived of, due to the difficulty of obtaining good internet and electricity for a sufficient time If you are interested in art, you can check I my blog I and find my artworks, i hope you will share them and support me to continue fighting and trying Every share and donation brings us one step closer to saving my family's lives. Your support, no matter how small, holds the power to rescue my loved ones from grave danger There are no words can describe how many times we have been displaced The situation we're living now is really hard to imagine Where do we Go?

Imagine the vastness of this universe, we cannot escape to a safe place far from the war

🍉🍉🍉 We rely on your donations to have a shelter and provide basic daily necesseties. We need your contributions and support with us, no matter how small it may be for you, but it makes a difference for my family 🙏🏻 Please, Support us with 5$, 10$, or any donation you can make and it will be really appreciated 🙏🏻

Dirty computer by Janelle Monae is a perfect album because every song goes like this : "I want to have intense kinky sex with multiple genders (I am queer)" "I love cunnilingus" "the US is built on the suppression of black and queer people, we can never truly be free while living in a system designed entirely on the perpetuation of our oppression" "sex is fucking amazing" *sick bass*

When Iris drags Carlos to a charity talent show put on by one of UT Austin’s frats, he thinks he’s in for a night of badly sung covers, mediocre magic tricks, and wannabe standup comedians. What he doesn’t anticipate is TK Strand dragging a chair to center stage, looking like something straight out of one of Carlos’ fantasies.

idk if it's only me who noticed this, but what's the point of being like "racism bad!! equality for all!!" when you disbelieve people of color when they tell you about microaggressions they experience on a daily basis? like i've truly noticed this trend where it's lucrative to be anti-racist on paper--to reblog token posts that make it seem you're wholeheartedly behind certain issues--only to turn around and act as if poc are an inconvenience / nuisance / too sensitive for pointing out certain behavior you don't deem problematic or hurtful enough. and to me that's nothing if not a full on erasure of that person's lived experience

i also think a lot of people falsely correlate being racist with being consciously racist. that's far from true imo. for instance you don't have to think "all arab people are backwards heathens" for your annoyance with an arab person's grievance to be born from a place of thinking they're being too sensitive or emotional or unnecessarily angry. and even if you don't subconsciously think that, the very act of disregarding their feelings in situations like that attest to lack of empathy at the very least

happy thursday everyone

i feel a normal amount of emotions about this fictional woman i promise

FYI iPhone users!

The Railyard

One dead body, seven suspects, and two undercover detectives sent in to get to the bottom of it. It shouldn’t be too difficult—TK and Carlos are used to solving murders—but when the department decides the best cover is to go in as newlywed husbands, they’re forced to face some hard truths. As the case goes on, they struggle to remember what’s real and what’s fake, and they worry the suspects’ secrets may not be the only ones that are revealed.

Chapter One - Apartment 4A
