Reblog for Season 4 of AM!

Amid the rising scent of smoke and the glow of the fire that brings an old warmth to the heart, my aunt kneaded the dough with her tired hands, wiping her face with the edge of her sleeve, continuing her work as if telling a story of resilience without words. The gas was scarce, it had run out, but life does not stop, and bread does not wait. Over the blazing fire, the loaves puffed up as if breathing patience, reminding us that simplicity is not poverty, but a life brimming with resistance and warmth.

In those moments, I felt something deeper than mere hunger and bread… I felt the intimacy of the moment, the roots extending through time, and that warmth not just from the fire, but from the hearts that refuse to surrender. 💓

Donate to My friend Shahad Dahlan in Gaza., organized by Manar Ahmed

I am raising funds for my friend in Gaza. This fund is to help her leave Gaza and move to… Manar Ahmed needs your support for My friend Shah

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #502 )✅️ & @bilal-salah0

Please help Mahmoud and his family!

I'll make this brief -- I've been asked by my friend Mahmoud to organize his campaign. Mahmoud is a 29 year old schoolteacher from Gaza and needs your generosity and support to survive, along with his family. I've spoken to Mahmoud myself and I know that his situation isn't improving, so time is of the essence.

This campaign is brand new, so we're starting at exactly $0. The goal Mahmoud has asked me to set is $35,000. This may seem insurmountable, but I know we can do this together.

Here is the link to his campaign. Please donate if you are able to, and reblog as much as you can.

$0/$35,000

Hello, I love your blog! I was wondering if you had any information on clothing in harems? Such as if the colors they wear symbolize something, any restrictions/rules they must follow, how to tell who is who from what they wear, etc.? It could be for any harem in general, I’m really interested in hearing what you have to say 😊

I'm sorry to say I have very little knowledge of this subject. However, my impression is that women in harems wore very similar clothing to women NOT in harems! Higher-status women in harems (sultans' wives, sultans' female relatives, etc) wore higher-status clothes, and lower-status women (female servants and slaves) wore lower-status clothes. Harems also included men: eunuchs and male children under 12. So your best bet would be to research Ottoman clothing from whatever era you're talking about, since the harem was an institution that lasted for centuries and clothing styles change over time.

One big warning about this topic: there is a LOT of misinformation out there. Westerners have been romanticizing the idea of "the harem" for CENTURIES, so there are a lot of bad takes out there from "all the women sat around naked much the time! all the women in the harem were there to have sex with the sultan!" to "the harem was an institution specifically designed to oppress women! it is a symbol of the decadent and wicked east!"

Does anybody have any good sources on harem life/clothing?

On the seventh of October I am teacher Mahmoud Atta. I work as a teacher teaching secondary school students.

On October 7th, I was getting ready to go to school. On October 7th, while I was getting ready to go to school, my life was completely turned upside down. Israel declared war on Gaza. After that, they announced their entry into the roads and cities and forced us to leave the city from Khan Yunis to Rafah

.

We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. If you survived, your brother would not.

We've all seen the end of the world movies on the big screen. We have all seen end of the world movies on cinema screens, but what we saw was real and not imaginary. I wish it was imaginary.

We finally arrived in Rafah Finally we arrived in Rafah, the safe city as it is called, but where to go? The sea is behind us, the weather is freezing, and the borders are closed with Egypt on the other side and Israel on the third and fourth sides. I found myself making a tent out of nylon for myself and my family.

No water, no electricity, no food, no place to go to the bathroom, no life. I wish I had died sooner.

We returned after a long time to our city.After a long time, we returned to our city. The first sight was that a giant monster had entered the city and left it in ruins, so much so that I did not recognize my house or my neighborhood. Oh my God, is this Khan Yunis?

fI searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed. I searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed.

random 4town headcanons (pt.2 of many):

jessie is always helping aaron t with any pranks they pull. you’d think bc hes the oldest with two kids he’d be a bit more responsible and mature but no.

“WHO REPLACED THE CHOCOLATE CEREAL WITH FUCKING RAISINS!?!??” robaire just woke up, it was a peaceful morning until he realized the spoonful of chocolate chip cereal that he put in his mouth, was actually raisin.

robaire fucking HATES raisins

and yeah it was aaron t who came up with the idea and jesse who switched the cereals up

“idk who would do sumn like that,” jesse walked in with a smirk and a bowl of robaires chocolate cereal.

“i fucking hate you.”

once aaron z had to call a team meeting to tell everyone that santa isnt real, after he and aaron t got into an argument about it

“i cant believe i have to say this right now, but i hope everyone here understands, that santa is NOT real”

robaire gave aaron z an unimpressed look, “yeah we know tha-”

tae young gasps, interrupting robaire, and puts his hands over his mouth, “WHAT!? but- but aaron t said he saw him…”

“well aaron t is an idiot-” z begins before t cuts him off and yells

“IM NOT AN IDIOT, MAN! I SAW HIM IM SERIOUS.”

“NO YOU FUCKIN DIDNT YOU LAIR!!!”

“okay everyone relax. honestly i dont think santas real but i wanna hear t out.” jesse calmed both boys down before asking aaron t to tell his story

“okay so basically when i was like 9 or 10 or sumn i woke up in the middle of the night and this big lookin guy was in my room!! so i was like “who are u” and he was like “im santa” and i was like “then why are u dressed in black 🤔🤔” and he was like “i wanted to change my style” and yk i thought that made a lot of sense!! like i dont wanna be dressed in red fo my whole life either! like id need to switch it up! so anyways i was like “what are u doin here santa its summer time 🤭” and santa was like “im here to fix some of ur broke items and return them!” what i sweet guy! and then he took himself and his huge black bag and ran out of my room! never saw him again”

everyone was silent

“he sounds like a sweet guy!!” tae spoke up happily

robaires jaw dropped at the two boys gullibility,“AARON, HE FUCKING ROBBED YOU-”

“ptsshh yeah, robbed my heart” aaron t puts his hands over his heart as he pretends to swoon and fall over. tae young catches him in his arms and they start giggling.

“no you fucking duck brain robaires saying that man wasn’t santa. he was a robber and he stole your shit.”

“hey z, dont be jealous because t’s story makes sense” tae stuck his tongue out at z as he held t.

aaron z looked back at tae like he was the stupidest mf on the planet

“….t…did you ever get your things back and fixed..” jesse asked slowly

“now that i think about it……no🤔”

aaron z slams his head against the wall.

tae young and aaron t are like two pairs of inseparable idiots

they call each other ‘my soulmate’

aaron t could say anything and tae young would believe him. plus, aaron t would be completely serious about what hes saying, not even trying to actually trick tae young

not only that tae young would do anything aaron t says. if he asked tae to jump of a building and do a flip tae would ask ‘which building? ☺️’

aaron t would never purposely put tae in danger or trouble, t doesnt trick tae young, they’re just both gullible

aaron z and robaire are sick and tired of them

jesse is mildly amused

“HEY!! HEY, TAE YOUNG!?”

“HI T!! WHATS UP!?”

“LETS GO RIDE A BIKE TO THE DOWN OF THAT STEEP HILL!”

“OKAY ☺️☺️☺️!!! oh😲- but idk how to ride a bike ☹️☹️”

“IK! IM GONNA TEACH YOU BUDDY!”

“OKAY LETS GO!!”

they run off holding hands and giggling, robaire runs after them angrily screaming “DONT YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT IT- GET DOWN!!!!”

jesse likes having aaron z baby sit his kids the most

jesses kids LOVE aaron z and cling to him like crazy and aaron just does not understand WHY

aaron z doesnt even really like kids that much (but he does have a soft spot for jesse’s twins)

“okay man i gotta go! but thank you again for watching my kids.”

“i literally told you i didn’t want to watch them.”

“yeah alright, thanks man ill see you later!” jesse leaves and closes the door as aaron lets out a groan

right when jesse leaves jakson and jessie (his twin kids) latch on to each of aarons legs and forces him to walk

aaron z could say anything and the two young twins would start laughing like crazy

tae young thinks its the cutest thing in the world, so if he has time he’ll stay and watch jesses kids too

the twins always call aaron z cinderella and tae young his ‘prince charming’ when taes not around

“but why im i cinderella??? tae young is the one who has blonde hair.”

“because cinderella is pretty and you are pretty.” jessie says simply as her twin brother nods in a agreement

“so you don’t think tae young is pretty?”

the twins gasped and jakson reached over and clapped a hand over z’s mouth

“no !!!no no!! we think hes very pretty!” jessie says

“yes very pretty like prince charming!”

“okay but why cant I be price charming?”

“because we don’t want you to be prince charming. tae has to be prince charming.” jakson rolls his eyes like that was obvious as he sips his orange juice.

aaron z just groans giving up
