Hi! This is a rickroll. Please visit youtube dot com, type “never gonna give you up” in the search bar, then click on the first video that comes up. Thank you for your consideration.
i hope you are sharing meals with the people you love, for me as of today, i only hope kholood ( @kholoodpals ) and her family can have food at the very least, because to know them safe and healed seems a wonder now, as we all heard of the end of the ceasefire, and we knew it for the lie it was, and we saw how aid was used as both hope and cruelty.
through this the true hope that palestinians have had is us, people who can care where kt matters, when it matters, and as it should matter or so i hope. this hasn’t changed, and i know that in strife aiding seems just to live in suffering, but i hope for one day for everyone to find joy in helping, when the cruelty of a genocide doesn’t hang over us.
please know your efforts are not just for kholood, but also her baby, her husband, her brother and her mother, all of them need us, and we can help them, i know money is not always possible, but sharing always is, i ask you as well to try to reach out beyond here, and also, to kholood if you have the time, a few words are enough to get through a day sometimes right? hell, sometimes just sitting down and eating together is enough, please reach out, help kholood now, donate and share as soon as possible🙏🏽
there’s also a link for chuffed if anyone can donate or prefers to aid there:
thanks for helping if you’ve done so, and hope we can hold your hands in the future here as well, we do need each other and so does kholood’s family then.
Lost Records is such an insanely beautiful game to me. I just haven’t felt as much from a game as I’ve felt from this in so long. Of course the supernatural elements are important but it’s the simplicity that gets me.
You play as a lonely girl with body image and general self-esteem issues. She meets 3 girls, all queer and all romanceable. No male love interests. It’s the best summer of her life and it’s going to end. Swann, Kat, Nora, and Autumn all wish for it not to end and it still does. Swann is running out of time in Velvet Cove and Kat is running out of time. They genuinely love each other within their little bubble—there’s no talking behind one another’s backs, no backhanded comments. They all support each other.
They talk about missing their childhoods when everything was easier. They talk about things like periods and hygiene products casually, something I literally haven’t even seen from a game up until now. Autumn talks about all the pressure she feels to be the perfect minority in a conservative majority white town—she’s always trying to keep the girls out of trouble because or else she’s suddenly responsible in the eyes of others and she takes that to heart. Nora is this neglected child who’s constantly trying to fill that void and it’s so heartbreaking to watch. Kat is maybe the most insane of all because there’s something so visceral about how angry she feels, trapped in a tiny, conservative nothing town in a family she fights against day after day for nothing because she’s here to die. And there are all these little seemingly insignificant details that are hallmarks of wlw culture, especially in the 90’s!! The Riot Grrl scene (specifically Bikini Kill) the Emily Dickinson reference, even a statement as simple as “If I was a boy, I’d kiss you.” The teenagers talk like real teenagers. And in the adult timeline, the pandemic actually fucking exists! It’s a part of the background! They talk about how it impacted their lives, especially Swann as an isolated, socially anxious and most likely neurodivergent person!
There’s such a sense of togetherness and loneliness all at once, hope and hopelessness. It’s realistic despite the supernatural aspect. It’s life. It’s beautiful and it’s unfair. It’s joyful and it’s furious. It’s finding someone who understands you with the knowledge that it will be ripped from you. But the injustice doesn’t take away the fact that it happened.
I am the main provider for two disabled roommates while being disabled myself. One of my roommates has cancer, both have been in and out of the hospital this month. With so much time spent at the hospital, my job not allowing the usage of public wifi, and constantly needing to do chores+caretaking, I’ve barely been able to work this month.
I am exhausted, drowning in expenses, and no longer holding up mentally.
Right now, we need about $1,500 to just be able to catch up and get necessities while also being able to pay rent. Our rent is due on the 1st with no grace period.
Dm for details or proof, I have all the medical records for this shitshow, I’m just trying to keep this short. Vetted by @kyra45-helping-others who does scam busting here.
3 more issues found and I already have to pay $200 for a different issue with it…. I’ve already spent over $1k…..and I have hundreds more to go…. I can’t fucking do this
I don’t know the total cost of everything yet but I do know it’ll be at least a few hundred on top of the $200 I have to pay for everything else
I’m gonna be paying at a least $500 for everything 🙃😭 and that’s not even including the cost of what I owe to my car insurance to get that renewed. I predict I’m gonna pay at least $1k to get this thing legal 😭
The cops in my city are automatically towing anyone who has expired tags now. I’m supposed to start volunteering at an animal shelter this week…. Fuck
If anyone can help me out, I’m disabled, on SSI, and taking care of a child and my mother, so I can’t afford this on my own… I already used ALL of our tax money on my car🥲
I’m setting the goal at 1k for now but I’ll update the post once I know the full cost
$0/1k
I also should mention that we lost our food stamps recently and my mother lost her job and is receiving less than I am on SSI, so we won’t have any money at all for food for the month if I pay for this on my own
And I have no choice but to pay for it if I want to be able to drive anywhere in town, such as my doctor appointments, volunteer work, getting our prescriptions, etc…. I can’t afford a ticket and/or getting my car out of impound on top of all of this. So in other words
If I don’t raise this money now I’m gonna have to pay even more later
