Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔
I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸
Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶
If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏
Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

Don't spoil it for me!
I seriously hope that Doakes is forced to question his hypocrisy regarding the Bay Harbor Butcher (aka his coworker). After Dexter, Doakes has the most kills and he kills for the same reasons Dexter does. Doakes could resolve his dissonance by saying he did it in the line of duty. After all, at least he was willing to face punishment for his crimes. That defense doesn't mean much when you consider Doakes' superior was his partner/ lover. When the system is rigged in your favor, it doesn't take much courage to submit yourself to it. This conundrum actually reminds me of Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil run; it deals with the conflict between vigilantism and the legal system.
Theon and Jon- Scraping the Bottom
Opposites attract, but similarities repel. On the surface, Jon and Theon's mutual dislike seem to be rooted in their contrasting personalities: Theon's swaggering and macho, while Jon is reserved and sullen. Their personalities are actually rooted in their strongest commonality- their status as outsiders. There's a bit of conjecture on my part, since GRRM never explicitly says it, but I wouldn't be surprised if Jon and Theon resented each other because they both had something the other wanted.
Theon desperately wanted to fit in with the Starks, yet Ned always kept him at a distance. This ensured that he was never as close to the rest of the family, either. He probably hates that Jon, a bastard child, can find family among his trueborn siblings when Theon was taken from his.
Jon might be a Stark, but he is never treated like one. While his siblings were seated at the high table, he ate with the squires. Even as a hostage, Theon is still treated with the respect due to their station.
The most interesting point of contention is actually Robb. Both Jon and Theon claim his friendship, but only one could be his right-hand man. Theon would provide a more political advantage and be more socially acceptable.
Theon and Jon are very similar and could've been somewhat good friends. Their natural personalities and Theon's social climbing ruined any chance at friendship.
