is it okay if i put stealing a freshly baked pie off of someones window sill on my summer bucket list?
I want to bring another fundraiser to your attention. In the link above, Fadi Ayyad has told the story of his family, who lost their home in Northern Gaza and have been forced to evacuate to the south.
Fadi is a high school student who wishes to graduate and further his studies. And his father, Ayman is a well-respected and known Gazan educator, who has lost his source of livelihood during this war.
Their lives have become a constant struggle for survival, from trying to secure what food and water they can to the constant bombardment and raids by the Israeli military which threaten to take their lives at any time.
Their situation is dire. They require $35,000 to evacuate their 8 family members and after 1 month they have not even gone over $1000 yet.
Help this family reach their goal and evacuate to Egypt, where they can get back a semblance of stability and safety. Donate if you can, and please share!
You can also reach Ayman on tumblr @aymanayyad81
.
Peace be upon you. I hope my message reaches you and you are in good condition. I ask you to donate, spread the donation campaign, and support the page. You have all our love, Diaa and Shymaa 🙏💔
Majed’s suffering today in obtaining water in light of my absence from them💔💔💔
Abdul Rahman before the war and after the war. How did the war change Abdul Rahman’s features?
Walid, after he was one of the outstanding students, now has no school, which he loves, after it was destroyed
Hope and suffering with illness for the fourth time, hospitalization due to contamination of water and food, and the story of being away from them. I have not met with my children for more than ten months because of the war.

Hello dears I hope you are all well please help me!!!
I am Ahmed Halas from the besieged North Gaza, I have created my campaign to help my family and save them from the suffering they are living. Our lives, hopes and ambitions have been destroyed, our livelihood has been destroyed, we have lost dear friends and many relatives, our house has been completely destroyed, we live in a plastic tent in the middle of an UNRWA school and we suffer from the heat of the sun which causes headaches, migraines, body allergies and many diseases. There is no food, water, medicine or basic life requirements and the prices are terribly high, we cannot afford to buy anything.
In the meantime, this fundraising campaign has been started so that people can donate so that we can regain momentum in case the unfortunate circumstances cannot be fixed. Ahmed Halas and his family have already registered and are likely to be called to leave soon. This money is for their evacuation. Let's aim to evacuate them all together!!!
Ahmed's message:
Hello, I am Ahmed from the Gaza Strip, I am still alive after ten months of war. This is my fifth war too. But this war is unlike any other. I am trying to raise money for me and my family, as we are determined to leave to safety while this disaster continues. We want to leave the Gaza Strip towards Egypt through the Rafah crossing and Hala Company.
This was a very difficult decision for me, but this is my fate and the fate of my family. I feel ashamed to ask you to donate enough to save me and my family of 20, most of whom are young children, by raising enough money to reach safety. "Hala Company details are at the bottom of the article." Please participate, even if it is a small part. Donate any small amount, share my photos, share your story, anything that makes a difference. I have complete hope in you and your generosity.
Father Fathi suffers from heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, and son Mahmoud suffers from back and cartilage pain, which is why he does not have a medical mattress due to sleeping on the floor, which makes him feel severe pain.
Oh my God, what happened to us, I lost my memories and dreams that I have dreamed of for a long time, my house where I lived my childhood, nothing remained inside it, it was a pile of fire, and I lost my source of livelihood and my baby clothes store was completely destroyed, which led to the accumulation of debts that I was committed to from merchants that I obtained a few days before the current wave of war.
Note: Ahmed will try, when the circumstances are complete and I collect a sufficient amount and I am able to reunite the entire family here in Gaza, by moving my family to a safe place and regaining some comfort or trying to go to Egypt, knowing that the cost per person now is $ 5,000 for an adult and $ 2,500 for a child. The price may fluctuate. Please help us by donating even the simplest things or by participating in our campaign, and I will be grateful to you
if you can hear us, please, danny devito, please save me. please save me, danny devito, please. i'm asking you. please save me.

sbg fancast
in honor of my growing obsession with school bus graveyard and the news that a live-action adaptation is in the making, i thought about who I'd cast as the gang:

aidan arthur (left) or ayden mekus (right) as aidan clark (lots of aidans)

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP
(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)
An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:
(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)
I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:
IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.
You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:
HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:
First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.
Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.
Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.
In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.
In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:
I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.
In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.
Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.
Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!
NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!
If I had a nickel for every time I fell in love with an unconventional and eccentric pirate character, who redefined what it means to be a pirate and who would do anything for their crew, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
me watching "teaching you basic german ASMR" as if i haven't been living in germany my whole life and know the language by heart
i just finished the last season of sex education and i cannot stress enough how much i love media that is just so unapologetically queer like this. sex education has always been very queer, but especially so in the last season. this show, as well as other shows like heartstopper (also the comic), heartbreak high and the owl house just make me so happy ahh
some unfinished poetry from 04/05/23
why do I try
if I’ll just end up with sore eyes by the end of the night?
there are so many words that want to get out
but when I’m writing there’s no melody, no sound
it’s midnight and I don’t feel better
What’s love more than a four-word letter?
why am I gifted in the arts if I’m not gifted at all?
my feelings turn into blank pages, staring at empty walls
a voice that longs to sing but finds that she has nothing to say
don’t want to care
but care too much anyway
spring will come,
maybe now a muse will come along
niche fanfiction
i am in the midst of writing a very niche chatfic about a show i used to watch when i was younger. and you might think it can't be that niche, and to that i say: i mean, i don't know, i haven't really checked if there's anything from that fandom on ao3 yet, BUT like, i do not know if there's an audience for this specific fic expect for me, lmao.
so this show was called "Das Haus Anubis", which is the german version of the dutch-language television series "Het Huis Anubis". for context, i'm from germany, and so i watched some of this show when it aired on nickelodeon and i loved it. i don't know how well the other versions did, but this was apparently a hit in germany. i'm rewatching it right now since it's on netflix now, and so i kind of spontaneously decided to write a chatfic about the characters. i'm also writing it in english, cause i'm more confident in my english writing.
so i am writing this chatfic about the german adaption of a dutch show that aired from 2009 to 2012 on nickeleodeon, that's already really damn specific. i'm also writing it in english, so that limits the target audience even further. now you might say 'maybe people from other countries watched this show on netflix with subtitles or something-' YOU CAN'T. there is only german audio and german subtitles, YOU CAN ONLY WATCH THIS SHOW IN GERMAN.
that means the target audience for this fanfiction are german people who've watched this show and care enough for it to read a fanfic about it, specifically a chatfic, and who'd rather read it in english than in german.
and i AM going to publish this to ao3. i'm writing this for myself and because it's fun, of course, but i would still like to publish it.
no one is going to read this but me, and i think that's fucking hilarious.
ps.: if anyone is interested in reading this, feel free to check it out when it's done, but it'll make absolutely no sense probably.
anne bolaney
my sister wanted to tell me about how it's crazy how anne boleyn lived in the 1500s and how long ago that was but instead said something like "anne bolaney who lived in the 50s" and i was just so confused, it was hilarious.
she might've actually said the 1500s and not the 50s, but she did refer to anne boleyn as anne bolaney, and i think that's great.
yesterday, i walked two miles, maybe three
at the side of the road with dirty shoes
scared of the cars and sad because
i was late to my exam
because i was dirty and walking and my thoughts were running
wild again
i lost my ticket along the way, but could still take the bus
i saw my friend, i walked to school
when i got there, i didn’t know what room the exam was in
i found it and sat at the front because there was no other free desk
i felt eyes on me, felt my leg itching like a bug was crawling up my leg
i felt the water pooling in my shoes, felt the water closing in around me, the water wanting to
pour out of my eyes
i felt useless.
they walked me down to the other room, through the hall, and down the stairs, to continue taking the exam
I’ve never felt this bad
were people looking? my hair was standing up, frizzy and unmade
my socks were brown
i continued writing
then, a teacher came in and wished me luck
then another one
and another one
a kind look on every face
strange
i packed my things and the teachers were nice
they weren’t mad i was going home and not to p.e
my friends weren’t mad i was going home and not to p.e
i felt bad (but not horrible)
mom picked me up later because i lost my ticket
she told me the postman found it and brought it back when she called me before
we ran some errands and went home
i felt tired
she told me she was proud of me
i didn’t know.
yesterday, we talked about it again
she said she’d seen me cry that day for the first time
in forever
she said i had walked through the storm,
that i didn’t give up
me?
she said she was proud. that i should be, too.
i said “yea”
i didn’t see it
to reiterate:
yesterday, i walked two miles, probably three
at the side of the road with dirty shoes
i was scared of the cars, but kept going
i was sad and frustrated, but kept on going
i got on the bus without my ticket (thank you, bus driver)
i saw a close friend and she wished me luck
i sat at the front, it was uncomfortable, i wrote
i finished the exam and i went home
in my dirty socks and shoes
still feeling the blues.
my mom said she was proud.
and i should be.
ahhhhh
okay, sorry for posting about the owl house again (expect im not sorry) but I literally love every character in this damn show. the season three character designs are amazing, too.
also, the nail polish that Masha wears has tHE NONBINARY COLORS, i mean HUH, thats so cool 🥹
i love the owl house and i knew luz was bi but having it confirmed in season three was AMAZING. like, an openly bi main character in a disney show, wtf. i love it, i feel very happy.
joaquin phoenix is not phil dunphy??
i just found out that the dad from modern family is not joaquin phoenix and i don't know how to feel about that. frankly, i feel foolish. alone in this strange predicament, because i guess everyone already knew that he is, indeed, not phil dunphy.
i have a joke and i really hope no one else has come up with it before, cause i'm kind of proud of it. so here it goes:
"Hey, which famous Drew do you like best? I really like Drew Gooden."
"Hm, i personally like Drew Barry more."
i think it works better when you say it, but yea, that's the joke.
