my dear friend siraj @siraj0 has had to remake his tumblr several times with several different emails over the past several months because of unjust termination and repeated shadowbanning. there have even been instances where his account was restricted mere hours after it was created. this has all severely hindered his ability to promote his family's survival fund, which supports over twenty people in his family, including ten children, through a genocide. he cannot maintain his online audience or connect with others on this site if he is terminated. it is clear at this point that tumblr is trying to silence him entirely.

which is why i want those who see this to share, not just this post, but posts by siraj himself on his new blog, @siraj0. he will continue to advocate his family's survival on this blog.

can we please help my friend whose dad is stuck in gaza. she is the breadwinner for a family of 16 so she can't support him on her own.

I would like to offer my condolences to all Christians on the passing of Pope Francis. Pope Francis died two days ago, and there was a huge media hype about his death. Pope Francis was a supporter of the Palestinian cause, supported Gaza, and called for a ceasefire in Gaza. He was deeply concerned about the people dying daily, as well as about children. He is Christian, and we are Muslims, but he made no distinction because he was a humanitarian. Many of us died, but there was never as much media hype as when Pope Francis died. There were days when 500 or 600 people died here every day, and today at least 50 people are dying every day. No one spoke about them. They were wronged and died unjustly. The elderly, children, women, and young people died unjustly under the Zionist machine of destruction and genocide. Enough of your silence. Let one of you speak. Stop the war on us. Bring us food and water. There is no healthy water to drink. We drink salty water, and there is not enough food. We go to bed hungry and wake up hungry. The prices of available food are very high. We want to live a normal life, just like all of you. Don't ignore us. Here's a donation link for me and my family to provide us with food and water until the crossing opens and we can leave Gaza safely. Your donation means a lot to me and helps me a lot, so I'm asking you to donate.

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
