My name is Nour, and I’m 21 years old from northern Gaza.
I once lived a peaceful life with simple dreams, but everything changed on October 7th, 2023, when war tore through Gaza. I had to flee my home, leaving behind everything I knew, and now I live alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.
The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects me is even harder.
I live in constant fear of judgment and violence. On top of this, I face extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies.
Life has become a daily fight for survival.
Dear LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters around the world, I turn to you in my time of desperate need. I have no one else to ask for help. The world around me looks at me with disgust, and I can no longer bear this life. I am exhausted, broken, and alone. Please, I beg you, help me leave this place and find safety, dignity, and a chance to live as myself. I cannot survive here any longer. Your support is my only hope.
Every day, I fear for my life. But I refuse to give up. I want to live. Please, your support can make all the difference. Every donation, no matter how small, gives me hope for a better tomorrow.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I’m hemming the wool muslin with silk thread and it actually just feels like I’m working with air. Like there’s nothing there. If fairies make their clothes out of cobwebs like my children’s books, then I imagine the fabric feels a lot like this. Ridiculously light nonsense. I’m so keen to wear this veil
Art snobs are actually a thousand times less annoying than people who respond to everything with "it's not that deep bro"

HEY, FELLOW HATERS OF INSANELY-BRIGHT CAR HEADLIGHTS, SOMEONE HAS STARTED A PETITION TO REGULATE THEM.
It's an official petition through the Australian Government's e-petition page, which means if it gets enough signatures, it will be tabled in government.
You do have to be an Australian citizen to sign it, BUT!!! PLEASE REBLOG THIS EVEN IF YOURE NOT, because these kind of things have a roll-on effect, and if Australia legislates LED headlights, then other countries may follow.
FYI, the petition asks only for your name and email, and once you've clicked the sign button, they'll send you an email to confirm your signature --- you need to click the confirmation link in the email to have your signature counted.

i'm not invested in "harry potter was never good" conversations because it doesn't matter if it's good or not. quality does not positively correlate with socio-political praxis. it could be a really good piece of art, but if it's still supporting a vocal proponent of transmisogyny and transphobia, i don't give a shit. harry potter good or bad, who cares, its success is unambiguiously providing financial and social capital for a morally despicable person.
"yeah just read trans hc harry potter fanfiction instead!" You are the problem. Listen to me. You are the problem.
But it is a fact that Harry Potter wasn't good. As an adult, you should be able to look back on the series and criticise it because it was 1. massively influential and 2. bad. Understanding that the series is bad makes you a better person to be around and is a necessary stage of personal growth if you ever thought it was good.
Your thing is also true; if Harry Potter were good it would still be important to stop watching it. But after watching this loser generation spend decades writing fanfiction for it and fawning over Remus Lupin as queer rep for like twenty years, I better be seeing those self-crit essays.
Everyone who ever wrote a Harry Potter fanfiction should write an essay at least as long about why Harry Potter is not good. That's reparation. That's how we stop it from remaining influential and spawning more works of art like it about how everyone who thinks slavery is bad is a whiny loser.

It's only too late if you're dead, and you are not dead.

That was the intended subtext yeah, but it's important to remember it for other things too. New hobbies, learning languages, new careers, writing that book, asking out that cute person, etc. There is time. You cannot be too late so long as you still draw breath.
