Hello, my name is Rola, and I am a mother of two children living in the Gaza Strip. Our lives were once filled with love, laughter, and dreams for the future. But everything changed on October 7th, when the war shattered not only our home but our entire world.
That morning, my family and I were enjoying coffee together on the balcony. Out of nowhere, an explosion erupted, shaking our home violently. My husband and son ran for cover, falling over each other in panic, while I stood frozen, still holding my cup, unable to process the chaos around me. When I looked out the window, I saw that our neighbor’s house, once filled with life, had been reduced to rubble. Ambulances rushed to the scene as people scrambled to rescue the injured and pull bodies from the debris.
The bombings didn’t stop. At night, the rain poured heavily, and the cold seeped into our bones. I stayed awake, covering my children to keep them warm and praying for their safety. But safety is an illusion here. Another explosion shattered the night, and our neighbors’ home was destroyed. Their children, who had been sleeping peacefully under a blanket, were found lifeless, their cover soaked in blood.
I looked at my children with tears in my eyes and thought, How can I protect you? We had to flee our home with nothing but the clothes on our backs. We left behind my children’s toys, their clothes, and their beautiful bedroom. Everything we had worked so hard to build is gone.
Our Current Reality Now, we are displaced and living in a nightmare. Food is scarce, and prices are unimaginably high—$10 for a kilo of sugar! The fear of death hangs over us constantly. My children deserve a life of joy and hope, not one defined by fear and loss. Why can’t we live like everyone else—go to work, visit family, and watch our children play in safety? Why do our children have to grow up surrounded by death and destruction?
How You Can Help I am pleading for your kindness to help us rebuild our lives. We need your support to: 💔 Rebuild our home, so my children can feel safe again. 🌍 Evacuate from Gaza, seeking a future where my family can live with dignity. 🩺 Provide urgent medical care for my children, who need protection from this nightmare.
Even the smallest donation can make a difference. If you can’t donate, please share my story. Every share brings us closer to hope.
What Your Support Means Your kindness is not just about helping us survive; it’s about giving us a chance to dream again. To rebuild what we’ve lost and to ensure my children have a future filled with possibilities, not fear.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to us. Let’s work together to rebuild hope, one step at a time.

reminder that being against ai also means being against character.ai and not using character.ai and not interacting with character.ai
i've never talked to chatgpt i've never talked to character.ai i have no interest in talking to a chatbot even if it's fun or based on my comfort character. if we want companies to stop using ai we need to tell them we aren't going to interact with it - so don't.
don't talk to robots. full stop.
ok Kendrick Lamar rapping, with all Black dancers, with Samual L. Jackson playing Uncle Sam, mocking racist anti-rap rhetoric, with Lamar calling out racism in America all while trump is watching actually made me smile so much

For those planning to see Sonic The Hedgehog, especially to see Keanu Reeves as Shadow, I would just like to mention:
He has met and shaken hands with Netanyahu.
This happened while Keanu was meeting an Israeli producer at the producer's house. The event was seemingly for the Israeli administration to encourage Hollywood elites to make more movies about Israel.
For the movie, Keanu was trained by Aaron Cohen. A vocally Zionist ex-Spec-Ops soldier.
Aaron Cohen actively approves of the genocide. Today, 4/17/24 - Cohen posted this on X.
If you are planning on seeing Sonic 3 - you have a right to know this. The movie may be boycotted in the future, and seeing it might break your boycotting.
This information hasn't been spread enough and since the news dropped I've seen so many people up Reeves' ass, which understandable as he's a very popular actor - but he is not just silent in this genocide, he's clearly picked a side a long time ago.
Please pass on this information if you can. Stay informed and safe y'all.
From the river to the sea. 🍉
I know of one person in this fandom who gets their panties in a twist every fucking time you headcanon literally anything about Jack because "erm he's a fascist! Is THAT the rep you want!"
Which is such a bullshit thing, I think. I remember an argument had popped up because of the fact that he's tan in canon. This is definitely gonna give away who I am but idrc.
Jack is undeniably TAN in canon, whether you think he's a poc or not falls solely on you, but he definitely has some color to him. He's no Angel. But basically, they drew him super pale and used in-game propaganda art as their backup as to "this is how he canonically looks!" Instead of models.
Then told me that I shouldn't be calling him a person of color because he's a fascist. And it's like. Honestly, I feel like him being a poc is kinda important to his character?
You gotta remember, his prejudice against Pandorans is lived behavior. This was stuff he had experienced whilst living on Pandora that had soured the reputation of the entire population in his mind. This wasn't just fed to him.
But, his hate for them doesn't reach their skin tones. It isn't about race, so him being a poc literally means nothing. And if we're gonna talk about historical stuff, people of color colonized, too! Spain!! Spain!! Pointing aggressively at Spain!
His mask being several shades lighter than his own face is not only something that he uses to set him higher than Pandorans— (look, my face is pure and untouched, yours is scarred. You wear a mask of terror, mine is of freedom.)— but it's also a subtle visual commentary on white saviors.
Race isn't important in the colonization of Pandora. It isn't racism, it's xenophobia— and there is a distinction when it comes to it. But it does come into play when viewing Jack.
Imo, to make him pale is to ignore a large visual clue that pulls him out of the crowd of Hyperion. For his time, if you look at all the people before him in power, no one looked like Jack. His tan is caused by being out in the sun, living on Pandora— something that Hyperion workers don't GET on Helios. He was a part of the working class, he was a part of the people. And that's how he turned out.
(just making it clear here that I don't get a shit what race u hc Jack as, as long as you recognize he's a lil dark is all I really care about tbh. And making it clear here that I am a white person, so if anything I say is offensive just tell me to shut the fuck up 🫡.)
.
Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.
