Enas ( @enasfamli77 ) reached out to me yesterday and she needs our help. She lost her husband in an israeli bombing and is now taking care of her two children Hala and Mohammed by herself.

The famine in Gaza is ongoing and this family needs food desperately. Donating to Palestinians directly is one of the only ways for us outside Palestine to help them access food right now.

Enas' Campaign is verified by @gazavetters and is #630 on their list.

If you have any money to spare please donate. Just 10 dollars can make a difference. Even if you cant afford to donate right now, reblog this post.

Waitress taking my order: Such arrogance! Not only do you presume to boast under the guise of being humble, but your order employs the most decadent of linguistic excesses - the tautology!

My date, who until recently thought "tautology" referred to the study of tensile strengths and upon learning her mistake compensated by reading through its Wikipedia article: That would be more correctly identified as a "pleonasm".

The editor I hired to curate my posts who styles himself as a sort of scheming court advisor: My liege, this one is getting away from us. The punchline loses much of its impact when the rest of the joke is derailed by this increasingly self-indulgent meta humour. Were it up to me, your Grace, which of course it is not, I would cut the others and leave myself as the only supporting character. You need noone else, Your Majesty...
