Here is my story. My family of five and I were living a peaceful and stable life in our beautiful little house. We worked hard to provide a decent life for our three children, and they were proud to see our children learn and grow in a safe and stable environment. But in a sudden moment, their lives changed forever.
The disaster happened when our house was completely destroyed due to the war. They lost everything: their home, their source of income, and even their children’s education. They became homeless and insecure, living in difficult and dangerous conditions. The children, who used to go to school with joy and hope, are now deprived of their most basic rights to education, and live in constant fear.
And now. My husband and I are trying hard to secure their basic needs, but we face great challenges. Every day is a struggle for survival, and an attempt to rebuild what they lost. Despite the pain and suffering, there is still hope in our hearts that we can rebuild our lives with the support of kind people. 💔🙏🙏
We desperately need your support and donations to rebuild our home, educate our children, and provide them with a decent life. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge impact in improving our lives and restoring hope to us
anyways don’t let the ridiculousness of banning furries distract you from the fact that this bill is being introduced to cause confusion and hysteria about public schools, leading to parents pulling their kids out and putting them in private schools, which then funds them even less.
also this lets lawmakers decide what counts as human or not so ???????? not great
there is no easter bunny, there is no tooth fairy, and there are no feral children crawling on the walls and shitting in litter boxes in public schools. this isn’t about furries, who are just convenient scapegoats. this is about defunding public education.
Frothing at the mouth every time I see a sex ed resource that says “use condoms” without any further elaboration. “Condoms prevent STIs and pregnancy in the vast majority of cases when used correctly” but then they don’t talk about what correctly IS
Correct use of a condom means
Using the right size, because if it’s too big it can slide off or leak and if it’s too small it can break or come off. Condoms usually come in 5 sizes, I’m sure you could find others outside of that as well but in ten years of sex work I found they covered everyone
Using lube, even if you think you don’t need it. With the exception of oral sex, condoms should always be used with lube, 100% of the time. Most important lube should be applied to the outside but a drop in the tip of the condom before putting it in is also a good idea
Being mindful that latex is prone to wearing out, being damaged by heat etc. Condoms should be kept somewhere cool, not folded in wallets or sat on in back pockets and should be changed between activities and after about 15 minutes of any vigorous activity. Ask me how I know (a condom snapped on my leg when a client was pulling out, because I didn’t change it when I should have)
The penetrative partner should hold the base of the condom when they pull out, and should do so immediately after they ejaculate so the condom doesn’t leak or come off as the penis gets flaccid
Bonus: a lot of people think hand stuff can’t transmit STIs. Wrong! If you give your partner a handjob and then touch yourself you can get HPV, herpes (low risk), and infections like chlamydia and gonorrhea
This isn’t meant to be stressful, and the most common STIs are the most treatable - and often curable - but getting gonorrhea in your eyes after a facial still extremely sucks and yet no one talks about the fact that any mucous membrane can be effected, not just your genitals (yes this includes your mouth and throat)
In ten years of doing sex work where I saw 10 clients a day most of the time I’ve had 4 condom fails ever. One was what I mentioned above when it snapped on my leg, one was a client on top of me didn’t get off fast enough after he finished and the condom came off, and the other two were a Glyde brand magnum that was inexplicably twice the thickness of a regular condom and didn’t stay put on anyone so I suggest just avoiding Glyde entirely (their water based lubes also stain fyi). With all other brands correct use = extremely safe
Oil-based lube and latex condoms are also incompatible! Condoms can and should be used on toys.
I’d normally tag nsfw but I never got sex ed in school or at home. Even if you yourself don’t need to use this information, it’s still good in general to know, whether that be for fiction writing or advice to a friend or just to have in your back pocket (which is apparently hopefully not where you’re keeping the condoms). The more you know!
I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link
someone actually studied the falling Rick Roll rate for their Ph.D dissertation recently and published the paper
okay but this made me wonder if there was actually any academic literature on rickrolling and YES THERE IS this is a paper about rickrolling WITHIN academic literature. As in, studies that attempt to rickroll the people reading them. Best part is no one is going to believe me and click that link even though it’s 100% true.
My friend’s book is mentioned in this paper!!
There is no earthy way of convincing anyone that the rickroll study link is real. But for what it’s worth. It is
Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.
I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.
Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

(Quds) “Israel attempted to kill American doctors after CNN interview.”
Hours after a CNN interview, where they spoke about the Israeli genocide and denounced the complicity of the US and European countries, Israel attempted to kill two American volunteer doctors when airstrikes deliberately targeted Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis last Sunday.
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women’s restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men’s jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
My friend, don’t make me say goodbye to my father. 😭 The only thing left of my family. A month and a half ago, I lost my mother, who was taking her last breaths. 😭💔 I don’t want my father to let his last breaths be in front of my eyes, just like I lost my mother. 😭😭 When I lost my mother, I had no choice, and now I have no choice but to lose my father. 😭😭 I don’t want my father to die. The matter seems very difficult for him. Do you imagine what I mean, my friend?
I can’t write these words, I bleed while writing this, I can’t describe and I scream at the doctors and tell them I don’t want my father to die, but no one is with me, and my father is independent in intensive care, and his body is completely covered with wires and electronic devices inside the intensive care, and my father lives on artificial oxygen, and his swollen eyes ask me for help 💔😭😭 and I have nothing but pain and tears 😭😭😭
My father is sick with Sultan’s disease and hepatitis, and they told me that either you pay to get a battery for the heart machine, or we will remove your father’s oxygen and take him out of intensive care, and he will die immediately. 😭💔😭
My friend, please, I am begging you. Can you imagine what it means to my father and the pain inside me? Can you imagine the life I am living? My friend, your donation will save the life of a human being like us, just like each other. We must help each other, my friend.
Can you imagine my father’s life shattered and trapped between death or life, just a number on a piece of paper, and my father needs your donation to save his life? 😭🙏🏻
I haven’t slept for days because of the conditions of saving my father. I see my father at the door of intensive care surrounded by machines and wires. My eyes are tearing up because I can’t save my father and he is breathing with difficulty. I am afraid. Will this be my last day? 😭😭
Will my life become dark after my father’s departure? 😭💔 Will I continue to imagine my father in front of my eyes during his departure? 😭😭Imagine? Imagine?
When I hold my father’s hand, I feel warmth and tenderness because there is no one in my family but my father, and I lost my sisters and everyone who cares about me, but my father is in danger and his last hours could be in a few minutes, my friend, donate when you see this, please, please, the matter is urgent 😭😭
I don’t ask much from you. I just want my father to live and be my support. I want him to hug me and feel his warmth and tenderness and make up for the loss of my family.😭🙏🏻
I beg you please my friend please help my father don’t let my father go don’t let my life be dark I have no one but my father please donate please my friend save my father 🙏🏻
