Now I have your attention!

@aburakhiaibrahim has a large family, and life in Gaza has been incredibly difficult, with donations slowing down on the fundraiser. The prices are going up, and it's becoming harder and harder. They rely on the fundraiser, but with few donations coming in, they need your help more than ever.

If you can't donate, please share! We can still make a difference even if we can't donate. These people need your support!

💞Unfortunately, the campaign is going slowly. I hope to get your support and love. Thank you all for your interest in our cause.🙏🫂

✅✅✅🫂🙏

Keep sharing, everyone! We still have a long way to go, but we can do it!

Tagging for reach

I am forever grateful for the balanced way Harrow’s psychosis is displayed. She is a rational person. She is able to evaluate data as sharply as anyone else. Maybe even more sharply than anyone else. She just isn’t sure if the data she is evaluating is all accurate. She reads as someone who has long since adjusted to this self-doubt about reality, and possibly as someone who’s intelligence was honed specifically by the process of needing to run every observation through rationality checks. It makes her weird, socially, but it also makes her very good at processing and deduction.

This got me thinking about something I don't think I have seen discussed before, RE: life on the ninth house before GtN. The ninth house is a cult, with predictable routines. This is very soothing for Harrow.

Gideon however is an element which cannot be wholly predicted. Its canon that Harrow used Crux as a reality check when she thinks shes hallucinating. How many times did Harrow (upset that she was hallucinating) go to Crux because Gideon re-arranged some skeletons so that they were (sigh) boning, and Harrow thinks its a hallucination at first.

(No one can convince me Gideon didn't do this. Tons of times until it stopped being funny for her, which probably took a while. Gideon had dirty mags and a love of puns and there wasn't much else to do in the Ninth.)

I think that this helps explain a lot of Crux's hate toward Gideon. After all, Harrow is the de-facto head of the religion that Crux has devoted his whole life to serving. He has spent his whole life venerating Harrow and her parents. People bow and scrape when Harrow comes by. The head of his religion comes to him afraid and asking for reality checks because of stupid pranks and such that Gideon would pull, he would hate Gideon for destabilizing Harrow for refusing to conform to the expected routines.

So imagine the stupid pranks left for Harrow to find, the voice Harrow hallucinates (sometimes) being Gideon where she isn't supposed to be according to the routine of the ninth causing Harrow to need more reality checks than she would need without Gideon around, and then muse with me about how

"But I don't even remember about you most of the time."

sounds like Harrow having been reminded she's not hallucinating, its just Gideon, doing what she isn't supposed to again. Think of how that influenced their dynamic, and how fast Harrow shifts how she treats and sees Gideon once they're on the first and there is no routine that Gideon is violating.

Actually, I'm not done here, because it is kind of darkly funny just how screwed Crux is here.

Gideon breaking with the routines of the Ninth is destabilizing Harrow who in his mind is the only thing standing in the way of the tomb getting open and the sun going out. He devoted himself to the Ninth, so he's got to believe this. He is scared out of his gourd about Harrow not being able to keep the tomb shut, and he is seeing Gideon breaking with the ninths routine as destabilizing as apocalyptic because to him it very well could be.

Of course, he can't tell Gideon why her breaking the routine is such a big deal, because he can't tell her about Harrow (think about what Gideon could/would do after being given this information), so he just comes off as a hard ass to Gideon, whose personality would then be compelled to rebel harder, making the situation worse.

I'm not saying that I approve of Crux's attempts to kill Gideon a couple of times, but I can see how he arrived at that conclusion.

That is actually a painfully accurate representation of how siblings of children with severe behavioral issues can get treated, by their well-meaning parents who are just exhausted. They get yelled at for doing totally normal things that trigger the high-needs child, because there is no point in trying to stop the high-needs child from having high needs. The best the parents can hope for with peace is that the kid doesn't get triggered. This sets both kids up for failure, because the high-needs kid learns that it is other people's fault for triggering them, and the sibling learns that anything they do can be considered bad if the other kid dictates it. Part of behavioral therapy is helping parents to realize this dynamic, and to work with their kid on better ways to respond to triggers.

How dare you make me feel sympathy for Crux of all people.

Sorry about the Crux sympathy.

I think you identified something that I gestured at originally, but you're totally right, in this case, Harrow would have absolutely internalized that her getting triggered sometimes was Gideon's fault for being in places she shouldn't be. Add to that Harrow being raised from birth with the routine of the ninth house and not knowing anything else, the fact that she is essentially a nun running her whole society, and being told repeatedly that hallucinations were caused by Gideon (even if not all of them were) breaking the routine, and I think I can start to understand why Gideon called her a butt-touched nun.

My fucking cat has figured out how to gently dig his claws into my eyelid and pull my eyes open while I'm sleeping. He does this. It does not hurt. He is remarkably precise and gentle. I however am asleep when it happens and do not appreciate being clockwork oranged by a needy clingy goddamn animal who thinks he needs attention.

I would like to clarify that this animal self feeds and is not being denied breakfast by my sleeping in. He doesn't do this to anyone else. Everyone else simply gets increasingly invasive headbutts and even thats a fairly rare occurence. This fucking cat needs to cuddle with me specifically, And he is decided that the best way to do it is to gently shove his claws underneath my eyelashes and pull. There is no way I can train him out of this because believe it or not shoving your fingers in somebody's eyes to wake them up has the desired reaction.

We have come to a compromise. One that neatly illustrates the reason I'm not wearing an eyemask.

If I have a hair tie on my wrist, my darling sweet baby boy, love of my life and apple of my eye, can gingerly dig his teeth underneath and grab it in his mouth and then back up. and pull. And Snap the hell out of me with the elastic. Again, he is very gentle and precise, there are never teeth touching my skin. This is not a fluke, he managed this several times in various circumstances and positions.

This is worse than a toddler. We are approaching diabolical machinations hitherto undreamt of by domestic felines.

Save our life,please!! 🙏🏻🍉🥺

Hello again, I am Aseel from Gaza, I live in war, fear and destruction, we have been living for almost a year now but we do not know how long, we have been displaced from our home more than 11 times,

every time I was displaced to another place I prayed that this would be the last, but then came the idea of ​​​​forced exit to search for safety where there is no safety, we got very tired and our bodies were exhausted, we no longer had the energy to continue, we lived hunger, thirst, cold and all the difficult conditions that humans cannot imagine,

we did not imagine that a day would come when we would live all of this, I lost my family and my childhood home, even my friends are no longer there, I was left alone!! I am looking for salvation from death, I fear death and I dread it, the idea is terrifying to leave your dreams, ambitions and the life you planned for and go from this world, we do not deny death but we do not want to live it now,

I had a beautiful life, suddenly I do not know how I lost my life, we live in a tent that can only accommodate 3 people, made of nylon that no human can bear, just standing in it for more than two minutes during the day is enough to melt you, in addition to insects, diseases and lack of privacy, imagine all this!! Can you live??

In addition, my father had a stroke due to the loss, and my mother also needs care due to chronic diseases and the lack of treatment, and her condition is getting worse. I am the only one who takes care of them. I really fear loss and I do not want to lose, as I lost a large part of my family, my home, my work, and my entire previous life.

Things here are more difficult than you imagined, reality is painful

We wake up every day to the smell of death, I have been surrounded by tanks and helicopters more than 4 times, each time I do not know how to survive? It seems that my death has not come yet

I do not want to die!! 🥺

Please help me save my life and get out of here, life is impossible

Your donation will save my life, it is the only way, hand in hand we can achieve the goal please

my friend mohamed’s cat, amy, is older than all three of his children! he carried her with him when he and his family were forced to evacuate their home in north gaza due to the brutal colonizing forces and their us-funded death squads ravaging palestine for its land.

here is amy now - she’s been skin and bones since the genocide has prevented mohamed from accessing adequate care for her illness. still, she makes his children smile and he hopes to get treatment for her when they are able to evacuate into egypt. just the same as mohamed plans on finding care for his wife, who is suffering from advanced uterine cancer, mohamed cares a great deal about this little cat.

here’s another picture of amy and of the two birds that mohamed’s family escaped north gaza with. how incredible is it that so many palestinians refuse to abandon their beloved animals, even as the occupation indiscriminately brutalizes and destroys all life?

something beautiful happened! this tiny kitten has joined mohamed’s family in the tent! abdul rahman, sarah, and lynn all love this kitten and hope that they are able to bring it across the border when the rafah crossing opens back up.

despite serious illness, mohamed’s daughter sarah talks constantly about how much she loves these cats and wants to play with them again. mohamed tells me that she loves cats more than she loves her own parents sometimes. i understand her. can you help keep her safe and ensure that she can bring these animals with her to egypt?

donations increased temporarily after the election results were called, then slowed down again as americans seem to retreat back into themselves. please let these people hold your attention this time.

mohamed is #192 on this verification sheet.

if you would like an alternative method for donating, please use this cashapp QR code to send money to mohamed’s fundraising coordinator. we are in constant contact and mohamed confirms to me that 100% of these funds are sent directly to him without delay.

please help me protect this family and their pets.

not a single thought behind those eyes… you gotta donate. IOF soldiers are scared of this thing.

Idk I feel like "Men are responsible for their own actions, women aren't to blame for men being misogynistic" and "You do not have to tolerate bigotry from others, call them out on that shit" and "People may be less likely to become radicalized if they receive kindness and compassion" don't have to contradict each other

No diapers or milk for Gaza's children !!

The voices of the people in Gaza are rising to express their suffering from the problem of the shortage of diapers and milk for their children, as many families are no longer able to provide these basic requirements for infants due to the high prices, which poses a great danger to their lives and health due to the Israeli aggression and the lack of aid entering Gaza through the crossings due to their closure.

The prices of basic necessities for children are beyond the reach of any citizen. They have exceeded the imagination of the human mind.

I ask you to help my little boy (yazan), who is 2 years old, to provide for his needs. We are in dire need of you and your support...

We are only strong with you and your standing by our side...

I hope you see my account and see what we are suffering from, a new displacement and new tents. We are now sleeping in the street, me and my little child. He is suffering a lot. I don't know what awaits us. Our situation is very bad and difficult. It is truly tragic.

I hope you help us with your donations, even if they are small. Don't forget us.

We are in a difficult situation and my little child cannot (mohmad & hassan )bear it. I wish I had given him a better life than this, but he is not well now. He cannot enjoy his life or play like other children. He has become very afraid and cries a lot. I hope you help us and give us hope again. We need you and your constant support. I hope you look at us again and feel what we feel and what we live.

Perhaps your donations will be the reason for saving my life and the life of my little child. I hope you always remember us and do not forget us.

as much as I love portrayals of the sun and moon as a (lesbian) couple, the greeks were really on to something when they said "actually they're siblings who disapprove of each other's life choices"

some of y'all need to remember that ianthe explicitly doesn't look like coronabeth 2 complete with luscious golden locks and gorgeous eyes and conventional attractiveness but instead looks like if coronabeth was made of wheat bread and got left out in the rain overnight and everyone who sees her kind of wants to die for a second

I am Mahmoud Hassan, from the city of Khan Yunis

I am married and 32 years old

I live with my wife, father and mother

My wife had two operations last November and needs treatment and health care, and this is very difficult in light of the difficult circumstances we are living in

We are currently living in a very difficult situation due to the genocidal war. I lost my entire home due to the bombing and destruction of the city of Khan Yunis and I lost my source of income.

I am currently in a tent in Mawasi Khan Yunis

But the situation became very difficult due to the lack of suitable living conditions for me and my family.

My father and mother suffer from chronic diseases and need constant treatment

Help me save my family, get out of Gaza, overcome difficult living conditions, and rebuild my home if possible.

🇵🇸Appeal from a tormented heart:

✌️support for my injured child and husband

I am writing these lines to you with my heart burdened with worries, as I am the mother of a child whom I gave birth to in harsh conditions during the war. We have lived moments of pain and loss, my injured husband needs special care, while I face the challenges of everyday life on my own.

We live in a tent, where every moment lacks the basics. Food, drink, treatment, diapers, milk and vitamins for my baby these are things that have become a distant dream that we cannot provide in this difficult situation, I am trying to secure a better life and future for my child and my husband.

How can this little angel feel safe and we do not know to provide it to him in this war😔

I make a sincere appeal to everyone who can help. Every donation, no matter how big, will make a difference in our lives. Your support will be an opportunity for us to live with dignity and provide my child with the care and safety he needs

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your mercy and generosity. You are a light in our darkness, and your support represents to us the hope for a better tomorrow.

I need your support, and I will never forget you standing by me in the most difficult times.

Sincerely greetings،
