today was just as exhausting as I expected, and I had some lower body pain from overexertion, but after resting and eating something, I’m feeling much better. I’m also so relieved that my project title has *officially* been approved. there’s still so much work ahead over the next few months, but I’m glad to finally start on it.

From Flour to Rubble: Ismail's Journey of Resilience Ismail, a baker from Gaza, on… Valeria V needs your support for Please Help Ismail

I'm Ismail Almughanni an entrepreneur from devastated Gaza trying his best to rebuild his Bakery 🍞🥐🥖

On a quiet morning, the aroma of freshly baked bread filled the street, signaling the start of a new day at your small bakery, a place you took immense pride in. For years, this bakery had been a haven where people from all around would gather to enjoy the warm, delicious pastries and bread that you carefully crafted. It was a symbol of hard work, a beacon of hope, and a destination for anyone seeking a taste of comfort amidst life's challenges.

But one day, in the blink of an eye, everything changed. The sounds of bombing began to shake the city, and it wasn’t long before the fires of war reached your neighborhood. There was no warning, no chance to escape or save what you could. Shells rained down on the district that housed your beloved bakery. You watched helplessly from a distance, unable to do anything.

Minutes passed like hours. When the noise finally subsided, and the thick smoke that blocked out the sun began to clear, you looked towards your cherished place. It was destroyed.

The walls that once protected you and brought you closer to your customers had collapsed, and the oven where you had kindled the flames of hope had turned to ash. Everything was shattered, broken, as if that place had never been a sanctuary of peace and comfort.

But the destruction wasn’t just physical. The pain in your heart was far greater than any material loss, a place filled with beautiful memories now reduced to rubble. The moments when you saw smiles on people’s faces as they savored your bread, the laughter that echoed through the bakery—those were now just memories, dissolving in the ashes of devastation.

As days went by, you tried to piece together the fragments, not just of the bakery but of yourself as well. You knew rebuilding wouldn’t be easy, and the wounds left by the war wouldn’t heal quickly. But you also knew that the hope you had infused into your bread would remain alive in your heart, even if the tables and chairs were destroyed, even if the bakery itself was gone.

The bakery may have been destroyed by war, but its spirit lives on in you, in everyone who tasted your bread, and in everyone who walked into that small place and found a slice of happiness.

Mohanad and Farah: War Stole Our Dreams

My wife Farah and I once had a dream home in Gaza, filled with hope. But the war destroyed everything. We lost our jobs, our apartment was bombed, and we were left with only debt.

We married quietly amidst the chaos, and since then, we've been forced to move between shelters and tents, always uncertain and struggling for basic needs. Now, we share a small rented house with other families, still living in fear of what might come next.

This video shows the details of our story; I kindly ask you to watch it and support us

Despite it all, we hold onto hope.

"omg the whiny leftists and repubs can't find anything bad about Kamala's past" well you see Kamala could have been singing to cancer ridden orphans and angelically feeding the birds and the kitties all the way up to her VP term and it still wouldn't take away from the fact that she's pledged to prolong a genocide during her potential presidency right now.

EXTREMELY URGENT!!!

Mohammed Abu Alwan has informed me that all of his children now have severe gastroenteritis. 4 year-old Ghina also has what we believe to be a bone infection known as osteomyelitis. All the children require immediate treatment, but the family is completely without funds. If they cannot pay for treatment immediately, the children’s lives may be lost.

They are in a life-or-death situation right now, and there is not enough time to go through the process of withdrawing money from GFM. We are begging anyone who is willing to please contact Mohammed on WhatsApp about doing a cash transfer. Mohammed is so desperate for aid to save his children’s lives that he has asked me to post his WhatsApp contact so that you can contact him directly. This leaves him extremely vulnerable to harassment, but he feels it is worth the risk.

You can contact Mohammed Abu Alwan on WhatsApp at +970 592 440 590 to arrange a cash transfer so he can secure medical treatment for his children. Cash transfers are a quick, safe, and reliable process to conveying cash to people in Gaza who have access to a participating facility. I have used this several times, it is very easy. If you cannot support the family this way, their GFM campaign remains open.

Time is running out for this family! Please support them as best you can! Please help these children survive!!

african migrant workers are being abandoned by rich lebanese families who have evacuated the genocide. some employers have denied them access to their passports and forced them to stay in their houses in lebanon. when these workers escape to shelters they are kicked out. some of those workers have died in the israeli bombings.

the anti-racism movement (arm) is fundraising to help support migrant workers during this time.

I’ve been saving up for a binder for the past year and it looks like I can finally afford to get the one I want. :)

if the condition of the children of gaza doesn't move you, i don't know what will. there is no school this year. there was no school last year either. no clean water or healthy food. no medicines for when they hurt themselves. no toys to play with. no way for them to come out of this genocide unscathed. it's with a heavy heart that i've realized that childhood in gaza is an empty promise.

my friend alaa [ @alaakh998 ] lives in gaza. she has two little kids aged 4 and 6. i cannot help but think about them. how are they doing? what lies in their future? are they okay? I've come to the realization that they wont be safe unless they're able to evacuate from gaza.

the rafah crossing is closed as of now. alaa is fundraising in hopes that she can collect enough money to address her immediate needs and eventually evacuate when the crossing opens. she needs to buy a tent and medicine and supplies and food.

please donate to help her buy these things and ensure her children's well being.

The thing about freeing the nipple is that it's not even about if you have breasts or not (already arbitrary but I digress) it's fully just gendered oppression. There is no ontological difference between Male Nipples and Female Nipples and all of it crumbles apart if you like, think even a little about people who aren't cis + perisex & how people try to apply these rules to them

My friends, I would like to start by thanking you for your support and help for me and my family. Unfortunately, my account has been restricted for reasons I do not know. I kindly ask for your assistance in sharing my new account and giving hope to me and my family so we can live in a safe place.

appalachia is devastated. towns i loved, towns i visited all the time, are gone. not damaged, GONE. they are leveled to the ground. there is nothing left but rubble and ruin. people are dead. appalachia is poor to begin with and relies on tourism for a lot of its income, and multiple of those tourist locations are just...gone.

my town is okay, but it's flooded and wrecked. trees are blocking all but one way out of our neighborhood. power lines are hanging limp in the roads. we've been without power for over 24 hours and will continue to be without power for likely another 24+. disabled people and poor people are GOING to die from this. gods save appalachia.

for the favorites ask game—favorite flower and favorite kind(s) of music? 💙

1. favorite flower

ohh there are so many, but I especially adore french marigolds. they grew in our backyard when I was growing up, and I remember spending my evenings sitting in a chair, just admiring the deep red and yellow hues— they always felt so warm. thank you for reminding me of such a comforting memory. 😊❤️💛

image source

2. favorite kinds of music

I often find it hard to classify the music I listen to into genres. I think it’s more about the memories and feelings tied to each song.

there are the songs I grew up with—00’s bollywood tracks that my dad and I used to sing along to during summer evenings, ghazals my grandpa used to play on his cassettes, tunes I’d hum to help my sister fall asleep...

and then there are the songs I can’t help going back to because of their lyrics, songs that have held me so many times, and ones where I’ve found little pieces of myself.

I’d love to share my spotify with you once I’ve organized my playlists, if you’d like. 🩷

these were so much fun to answer! thank you for asking, dearest!! 😊❤️

hi nour 🫶🏻 what is your favorite food?

hi vero! 🩷

in general, I love anything with mango and rice. if I had to pick my favorites, they’d be uttapam and raw mango rasam with rice.

thank you for the ask! 😊🤍

send me "what's your favorite.." asks 💫

During this International Week of Deaf People and in Deaf Awareness Month, I would love to bring attention to Basem, a deaf journalist in Gaza who has been reporting on news in Palestine in sign language. He works to keep information accessible not only to Palestinians, but to the deaf community globally.

There isn’t a lot of discussion about how Israel’s attacks on Gaza affect the over 15,000 deaf Palestinians, but Basem has been continuing to raise awareness and highlight the challenges deaf people face during this genocide.

You can donate to Basem’s evacuation gofundme for him, his wife, and his young daughter here.
