"Pangur Bán and I at work, Adepts, equals, cat and clerk: His whole instinct is to hunt, Mine to free the meaning pent. More than loud acclaim, I love Books, silence, thought, my alcove. Happy for me, Pangur Bán Child-plays round some mouse’s den. Truth to tell, just being here, Housed alone, housed together, Adds up to its own reward: Concentration, stealthy art. Next thing an unwary mouse Bares his flank: Pangur pounces. Next thing lines that held and held Meaning back begin to yield. All the while, his round bright eye Fixes on the wall, while I Focus my less piercing gaze On the challenge of the page. With his unsheathed, perfect nails Pangur springs, exults and kills. When the longed-for, difficult Answers come, I too exult. So it goes. To each his own. No vying. No vexation. Taking pleasure, taking pains, Kindred spirits, veterans.

Urgent Appeal: Help My Family Before the New Year
My name is Ahmed, and I am asking for your help. My family – my parents, brothers, and sons – are in a desperate situation after our home was destroyed in an airstrike in Gaza. We are now sheltering in a flimsy tent, exposed to the cold and rain, with no food, clothing, or shelter to survive the coming days.
My sister-in-law is nine months pregnant and is severely malnourished and anemic. She is weak and vulnerable, and we have nothing to prepare for the baby due in a few days.
We urgently need to raise $15,000 by the beginning of the new year to provide us with the basics: food, warmth, and a safe place to stay.
Your support, no matter how small, can make a life-changing difference. Together, you can help my family and start the new year with hope and dignity.
To donate:

Your kindness today may bring us safety, warmth, and a chance to heal.
SERVICE DOG PSA
So today I tripped. Fell flat on my face, it was awful but ultimately harmless. My service dog, however, is trained to go get an adult if I have a seizure, and he assumed this was a seizure (were training him to do more to care for me, but we didn’t learn I had epilepsy until a year after we got him)
I went after him after I had dusten off my jeans and my ego, and I found him trying to get the attention of a very annoyed woman. She was swatting him away and telling him to go away. So I feel like I need to make this heads up
If a service dog without a person approaches you, it means the person is down and in need of help
Don’t get scared, don’t get annoyed, follow the dog! If it had been an emergency situation, I could have vomited and choked, I could have hit my head, I could have had so many things happen to me. We’re going to update his training so if the first person doesn’t cooperate, he moves on, but seriously guys. If what’s-his-face could understand that lassie wanted him to go to the well, you can figure out that a dog in a vest proclaiming it a service dog wants you to follow him
Thank you for educating me.
I know this is going to make me sound pretensions but I have to get it off my chest. I feel an unimaginable rage when someone posts a photo and is like "this picture looks like a renaissance painting lol" when the photo clearly has the lighting, colors and composition of a baroque or romantic painting. There are differences in these styles and those differences are important and labeling every "classical" looking painting as renaissance is annoying and upsetting to me. And anytime I come across one of those posts I have to put down my phone and go take a walk because they make me so mad
I find it so strange how our society somehow manages to be simultaneously extremely sexually repressed yet also absolutely obsessed with sex. I guess the latter follows naturally from the former? Thanks, puritan colonists.
There's nothing wrong with Hooters per se, but only a deeply sexually repressed society would be capable of producing Hooters. It's wild that it existed alongside Applebee's and Chilli's. Yeah man let's go to the psychosexual chicken wing place.

I live now with my child, whom I loved the most difficult days of our lives, I gave birth to him in difficult days full of fear everywhere, full of explosions and disasters that surround us from materials contaminated in explosives.
I suffer from dehydration because of malnutrition that devoured our bodies, me and my child
We need vitamins and medicines to recover our health, which is almost collapsing.
Help us by bringing help for me and for my baby, please, I beg you to help me and my child.
All we have is you are the only ones who can help
Don't let us die from the famine that surrounds us, we barely survived this disaster
My child and I need the expenses we need to recover what we have lost from our health. Don't let us and go. You are the one who determines our destiny.
I hope for help
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
• 5£ may seem small, but for us, it's a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists.
• Can't donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.

The war is back again.
Dear, we in Gaza are now subjected to genocide and the execution of young men, women, and children.
We in Gaza are subjected to persecution, violence, hunger, and pain.
We in Gaza see our children dying before our eyes, and we cannot even hug them and bury them.
The pain increases day after day. 💔💔
Houses and tents are being bombed, even hospitals have not been spared.
We are now in danger of death. We are forced to flee from our current location to a safer place for our children. Please, I beg you, help us. We do not want to lose our children in this war. We have lost everything we own. All that remains is our exhausted souls. We want a safe life. We do not want to die.

Please, help us as soon as possible. I am now homeless, we are on the streets, and the situation is getting worse. What makes it even harder is that my husband is injured in the war, and I am the sole provider for my family. I have 5 children, and one of them is a baby with no milk, and she is slowly dying.
We are in urgent need of all the help we can get, and we can’t hold on much longer.

I have often caught myself thinking this way and then realized how silly it is. But lately I've been working on not punishing myself for having such thoughts. I just go "Hey, brain, I actually don't want cancer. What could make me think that I want cancer? Ah, I don't feel seen or taken seriously." And then all that's needed is the complete restructuring of society to fulfill everyone's needs, easy!
(the last part was sarcasm)
"i wish i had cancer/a wheelchair/severe disability so i would be taken seriously." so you've automatically assumed that these people are taken seriously or treated well (which they aren't) without even thinking about it huh. the assumed premise undermines your very point. if you took these people seriously then you wouldn't idly wish to have their struggles

Together we can achieve our goal in one day and provide crucial support to my family and children in Gaza
Your contribution means everything to us and in these difficult times your kindness is our greatest hope. We are very grateful for any help you can provide and thank you for your kindness and generosity in our time of need
We have lost everything we have in Gaza from home, work and a decent life and my children have lost their most basic rights to education and treatment and not providing them with the minimum necessities of life
We live in a tent in very cold weather and in extremely difficult conditions
In these days, with the so-called ceasefire, nothing has changed for my children and my family. The situation is very tragic
My children need your generous donation that will change our lives for the better

In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉
I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨
Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀
At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨
In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿
"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏
I feel like this was said almost verbatim in the books at some point. I would be interested to see the process of them trying to do this in the next arc and having it be difficult.
How the fuck would these species live together a dragon could just step on the wrong spot and splat

Hello world 🌎 Am Muhshin magala an LGBTQ person in a sudan refugee camp. I and my fellow LGBTQ refugees face a lot of challenges including homophobia, hunger, lack of medication, lack of bedding and so many other challenges.
We are aiming at raising 5,000 USD to help this younger kid who burned with hot water and cover all those expenses so that LGBTQ people can get essential necessities like pads, food, medication and bedding so that they aren’t pressured into prostitution. Anything you can give will be of much help towards our survival however small it may be.
We thank you for standing with us in this horrible and traumatizing situation

Urgent Humanitarian Appeal
Medical appeal for my brother 💔🙏🏻
To all kind-hearted individuals and anyone who can extend a helping hand, I appeal to you in the name of humanity and for the sake of children who are suffering from pain, cold, and hunger. My brother is enduring a severe pelvic fracture caused by the recent war on Gaza. His condition is critical, and he urgently requires treatment abroad, but we cannot afford the costs of travel or the necessary medical care.
We are a family with young children who are struggling to survive the harsh winter in dire living conditions. The children go to sleep hungry and cold, and we cannot provide them with even the simplest necessities of life.
Please, this is a desperate cry for help from a mother and father who cannot protect their children from the cold and hunger. Any assistance, no matter how small, could be a lifeline for us. We are in urgent need of treatment for my brother and a warm shelter for the children to live with dignity and away from suffering.
Do not leave us alone in this hardship. You are our hope after God.
