"Pangur Bán and I at work, Adepts, equals, cat and clerk: His whole instinct is to hunt, Mine to free the meaning pent. More than loud acclaim, I love Books, silence, thought, my alcove. Happy for me, Pangur Bán Child-plays round some mouse’s den. Truth to tell, just being here, Housed alone, housed together, Adds up to its own reward: Concentration, stealthy art. Next thing an unwary mouse Bares his flank: Pangur pounces. Next thing lines that held and held Meaning back begin to yield. All the while, his round bright eye Fixes on the wall, while I Focus my less piercing gaze On the challenge of the page. With his unsheathed, perfect nails Pangur springs, exults and kills. When the longed-for, difficult Answers come, I too exult. So it goes. To each his own. No vying. No vexation. Taking pleasure, taking pains, Kindred spirits, veterans. Day and night, soft purr, soft pad, Pangur Bán has learned his trade. Day and night, my own hard work Solves the cruxes, makes a mark."

local tallmen siblings torment elf with internet show quotes, more at eleven
Hello
Can you help me
Hey guys. I just had a conversation with Awad here and after sending me info I was able to verify this fundraiser as completely legit!
Just like the last few I've been posting, this one is very new. Do not hesitate to donate to this fundraiser!
In the depths of Gaza, where rockets soar and safety fades, lives Awad and his family. They move like leaves carried by the wind, seeking safety and a better life.
Their journey began in Gaza, where life swung between fear and hope. They moved to Rafah, then to Rafah Camp, where a rocket shell exploded nearby, hitting their son in the chest. The moment was terrifying, yet they pressed on, searching for safety.
From there, they moved to Khan Yunis, then to Khan Yunis Camp, carrying hope in their hearts. They dreamed of a new life, where their children could grow up safely and freely. They longed to leave Gaza, to find a life filled with hope and beautiful possibilities.
And so, they continue their journey, carrying their stories and aspirations. They seek support and assistance, knowing that hope can be stronger than rockets and wars.
Awad wants a new life for his children, where hope can bloom and thrive. He wants them to have a bright future, where love and safety prevail.

And yes, sentences with ‘penis’ or cuss words are fine, I’m not judging much :3
I was today years old when i found out that i was allowed time off to vote. Something no boss has ever told me.

Help Me Evacuate my Family from Gaza and Reunite with them in Ireland
Note: My main account (@mahmoudkhalafff) was unfortunately brought down.
In the midst of the chaos engulfing the region and the receding in media coverage, you might be misled to think the horrific war in Gaz*a has stopped. However, it breaks my heart to tell you that if anything, it only moves from bad to WORSE. Committing massacres against defenseless civilian families and children has become the ordinary instead of the horrific unordinary.
Unfortunately, the massacres and the mass destruction of our beloved Gaz*a have it into a pile of rubble and rendered the dreams and hopes of people as baseless, far-fetched, meaningless, and unrealistic daydreaming.
I was displaced with my big family five times in Gaz*a and escaped imminent death multiple times before I was evacuated to Ireland five months into the war and I can tell you from my firsthand experience that the situation in Gaz*a is beyond hellish. Can you even bear to imagine that Lifeless corpses of so many children are brought out from under the rubble of their bombed houses almost every day?!
I hate to admit that I never imagined I was this weak. I don’t have the courage or strength to bring the corpses of my future children from under the rubble in Gaza one day. I shudder and blood freezes in my veins when I imagine what could happen to my parents, brothers, sisters and their children while I am in a safe place too far away.
Therefore, I have the moral obligation to do everything in my power to secure a NORMAL, safe, and dignified life for them here. Please know exactly what you are contributing to by boosting my campaign. You are helping a Gaza family reunite in Ireland after their lives and dreams have been viciously crushed by the horrific war. And, sadly, the worst is yet to come!
After consulting the Irish Refugee Council and Doras in Ireland and Palestinian families who managed to reunite in Ireland, I know for certain that THERE IS HOPE!
Please do consider helping me save my family by donating, reblogging, and sharing.

"With a heavy heart and a plea for urgent assistance, I am reaching out to you all amidst the dire circumstances faced by Tahani and her family in Gaza.
I am a U.S citizen and Tahani Shorbajee is my aunt who resides in Gaza with her husband, 3 children, alongside her parents, three brothers, and one sister.
They have tragically become victims of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza, which has left their once beautiful, “dream home” demolished to rubble and ashes. In this war, her house and company were destroyed, (see photos).
She lost everything and nothing remained for her. She loved her job and she loved her home.
My goal in communicating is to urgently raise funds to help her family. They are in desperate need.
She wants to travel to Egypt to keep her family safe, after her children contracted hepatitis from water pollution in the war and they lost lots of weight after being nearly starved to death with limited access to food due to the control on aid trucks by Israel.
The atrocious war in Gaza destroyed everything, even their healths, leaving her and her family living in a tent, (thin white sheet) in the outskirts of Rafah for 6 months. It costs $5,000 per adult to leave Gaza and $2,500 per child.
We seek your assistance in this time of uncertainty and despair, as your kindness can make all the difference.
Together, let us stand with hope amidst the darkness of adversity/despair.
Your support, regardless of its size, will serve as a light in our darkest hour.
Thank you for extending your hand in solidarity and compassion. With your support, we can begin the journey towards safety, happiness and repair.
Tahani and her family are facing extreme difficulty in order to survive. They do not have a home to return to.
We are so blessed for any amount which will be used to rebuild them a home once the war is over and keep her family safe and well.
Please help her family and share."
Guys, please help her and her family. Even the smallest of the donations matter.
this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
DO NOT, AND I BEG OF YOU, DO NOT STAY SILENT. ISRAELI HAVE MASSACRED INNOCENT PALESTINIANS IN RAFAH, THEIR SAFE SPACE, THEIR CAMPS WHERE THEY WERE RESIDING. ITS A FUCKING MASSACRE. INNOCENT LIVES HAVE BEEN TAKEN, JUST LIKE THAT. MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE LOST THEIR LOVED ONES JUST LIKE THAT. AND IF YOURE STILL SILENT, SHAME ON YOU. SERIOUSLY.
Please share the link 🙏🏻🌹
Your simple support can be huge for me, thank you very much

Hello Ahmed!
EVERYONE PLEASE SHARE AND BOOST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!
This is Ahmed Ziad, an engineer from Gaza currently trapped there with his elderly parents, sisters, and brothers. His home and livelihood were destroyed by bombs, access to food and fresh water along with other necessities is extremely limited in Gaza due to the blockade and there is practically no safe shelter.
please donate and share so that we can help them get to a safe place.
I hope you and your family can get to a safe place soon 🙏
Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
