i have recently been in contact with jamal al-dahdouh, a sweet young man from the gaza strip. he is the oldest child in a family of six, with ages ranging from 18 to 4 years old, and they have been living in a tent since an airstrike destroyed their house. recently, there was a bombing near jamal’s tent, which destroyed it, too. the situation is critical, and he has reached out to me to spread his campaign. i’m helping him, but i alone am not enough. i urge you to share his campaign if you can’t donate, and to donate whatever you’re able when you can. no one reading this is powerless to help someone who desperately needs it.

in his words:

I am not asking for much — I only want a chance to live, a chance to continue my education, to get medical treatment, and to protect the remaining members of my family. That is why I appeal to kind-hearted people to extend a helping hand. Your donation, no matter how small, could be the reason save our lifes.

jamal’s gofundme

Tw. Stalking, Yandere, nsfw themes, blackmail

You came back one day from work, tired as hell, only to find some strange man sitting on your couch with some boxes scattered around him. You threatened to call the cops, to scream and get him out, but he remained strangely calm if not a little boyishly eager.

"H-heh, I knew you'd be kind of upset. Don't worry, I already paid your rent for the next few months. T-took a bit of time to scrape together, but you're worth it babe."

When you then persisted on throwing him out, he simply took out a folder with shaking hands and showed you a mile wide stack of compromising photos that he'd somehow taken while you were completely unaware.

"Don't worry. I won't release them unless you make me."

So now you lived with your stalker now turned roommate.

It was strange. You couldn't kick him out, so you were forced to tolerate him. At first, you thought you could just wait until he left so you could hastily change the locks, but he just never left. He worked on his computer saying he had a remote job, and all of the groceries were delivered to the door. You didn't even have a chance to try and stop him.

He would creep his way into your bed at night, cook you breakfast, and act like nothing was wrong.

Yandere who likes to take photos of you openly now.

He snaps his camera at you while you brush your teeth or put on shoes. Every angle of you has been painstakingly catalogued and printed out in the albums now scattered on every table. He especially liked having pictures of the two of you together.

"Hehe, I used to have to edit myself in..."

You really didn't like mulling over what that could've possibly meant, so you just chose to gloss over it.

Yandere who likes to bathe and pamper you. It's so domestic that it's almost sickening. He makes homemade soaps to lather your skin in, and he's not half bad at making scrubs either. He learns how to do your hair in every style you like, and if you like getting your nails done, he learns that too. You asked him if it was to help save you money, but his reply was... less than ideal.

"I just don't want anyone else to touch you," He said sheepishly as he stashed the strands of your hair to use for god knows what.

Yandere who doesn't stop you from going out and living your life, but the second you get home, he's all over you. he's like your second skin, and even though you try to push him off, he just keeps nuzzling into your neck and practically humping your leg.

"C'mon! I was so good today... I cleaned and everything! At least kiss me!"

He becomes more and more comfortable in your apartment, and you slowly start to live with it as well. After all, a clean home, good food, rent paid and he pampers you like crazy: It's not exactly the worst deal in the world. Plus, he hasn't actually made any moves on you yet. No, most days he sits there smiling at you with a dopey grin and an obvious, untouched bulge in his sweatpants. He never touches himself around you, so at least he had the decency to not do that.

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

it's almost as if the word isn't in his vocabulary when it comes to you.

while he doesn't meant to over-do it, there's always something in him that just wants to make things happen, you know? wants to make you happy.

he blames his years of southern living. the culture and family that taught him that his woman should never have to work a day in her life. that all she should worry about is enjoying life— the life he provides for her as a labor of his love.

he watched his daddy do it; deliver his mother fresh flowers in the morning with a kiss on her head and his wallet on the table. before that, it was his grandfather and the ranch he built from scratch to appease his picky woman. even saw some of the chivalry his great grandfather showed in the little ways he still could, like with a new pearl necklace or fur coat on an occasion.

it was their duty as men to provide. especially as men smitten with their wives.

this is how you found yourself with boxes and boxes of gifts underneath the christmas tree, each one wrapped was with delicate touches and care. the gifts consisted of things you’d obsessed over once upon a time or maybe mentioned once in passing. it was all the same to him, though. you wanted it? he got it.

it was how you found yourself on your knees on a sunday, passing him tools as he installed new shelves and displays in your walk-in closet. you already had a vanity, a wardrobe, and as many dressers as one could imagine, but you’ve never been a light shopper. once your bags started collecting in neat piles along your room, he’d gotten a clue. all it took was a simple “honey, do you think you could do this for me?” and he’d clear his schedule.

it was how you tried nearly every restaurant in your fast-paced city. the high-brow, low-brow, and hole in the wall places, too. if he thought you’d like it then that’s exactly where he’d take you. he loved seeing you melt as you found a new dish you enjoyed. he loved how you always gathered some of your food and brought it to his lips in an effort to get him to try it. so what if the two of you ordered the same thing? your’s tastes a little different!

it was how he winded up with your name tattooed across his chest, the word carved into him in a way he simply relished in. you didn’t even have to ask for it, no, and he was in no rush to tell you either. but, he wears it as proudly as he does his wedding band— just another reminder of his devotion to you.

it was how, in the midst of a heated moment of passion, you saw that tattoo. how you halted your grinding on top of him with a racing mind and hooded eyes, locked in on the black, beautiful cursive your name rested in. how your left hand came to rest on it, and for a few short seconds, it met your wedding ring. how you really, truly came to believe that your man is so much more than head over heels for you.

they're being boycotted because the harvesting of palm oil and sugar cane for their products, like oreos, kit kats, smarties, ritz, herbal essences, pantene (products being boycotted) is all harming the indigenous Melanesian communities of West Papua New Guinea. the way that these products are being harvested is straight up ecocide. the communities' rivers are poisoned. their forests are being cleared with nothing left

we NEED to care, boost the power of the Melanesian communities, speak up about it, and save their communities and this earth.

you can make oreos at home y'all

one thing that stayed a beloved food we've kept all these years as a thanksgiving fave was pumpkin crescent rolls.

1 pkg active dry yeast

1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F)

1 cup canned pumpkin

1/2 cup shortening butter is great

1/3 cup sugar

1 egg

1 1/2 tsp salt

5 to 6 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl. Stir in the pumpkin, shortening, sugar, egg, salt, and 3 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the remaining flour to make the dough easy to handle.

Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn greased side of dough up. Cover. Let rise in a warm place until double, about one hour. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)

Grease cookie sheets.

Punch down dough. Divide it into 3 equal parts. Roll each part into a 12 inch circle on a floured surface. Spread margarine on circle. Cut into twelve wedges. Roll up the wedges tightly, starting at the rounded edges. Place rolls on a greased cookie sheet with points down. Curve slightly. Let rise until double, 30-45 minutes.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

Starting your fitness journey can feel overwhelming—especially if you’re not sure what to do, where to go, or even what to wear. I know that feeling so well because I’ve been there too. Whether you’re planning to hit the gym or work out at home, I’ve created this simple, beginner-friendly guide to help you get started the right way, without stress and without pressure.

Why You Don’t Need to Be “Fit” to Start

Let me remind you: you don’t need to be fit to start—starting is what makes you fit. What matters most is consistency, not perfection. Whether you want to build strength, feel more energized, or simply take care of yourself, working out is one of the best gifts you can give to your body and mind.

Gym vs. Home Workouts – Which One Is Better?

The answer is: the one you’ll stick to.

• The gym can give you access to more equipment and a motivating environment.

• At home, you save time, feel more comfortable, and need minimal space or tools.

Both are valid, and you can switch between them depending on your mood, schedule, or goals.

Beginner Full-Body Workout (No Equipment Needed)

Here’s a simple full-body workout you can do at home or at the gym. You can repeat this 3 times a week to start building strength and stamina:

Warm-Up (5 minutes):

• Arm circles – 1 min

• Jumping jacks – 1 min

• Bodyweight squats – 1 min

• Hip openers – 1 min

• Neck & shoulder rolls – 1 min

Full Body Routine (Repeat 2–3 rounds):

• 12 squats

• 10 push-ups (knee or full)

• 15 glute bridges

• 12 lunges (each leg)

• 30-second plank

• 15 bird dogs (core + balance)

✨ If you’re in the gym, you can do the same routine but using dumbbells for squats and lunges, and machines if you prefer. Don’t be afraid to ask for help—everyone was a beginner once!

Tips to Stay Consistent

• Don’t wait to feel motivated—create a routine and show up for yourself.

• Wear an outfit that makes you feel confident.

• Follow fitness creators or playlists that inspire you.

• Track your progress (even just writing “I moved today” counts!).

• Celebrate small wins like completing your weekly workouts or feeling more energy.

(#167 on the verified fundraiser list by el-shab-hussein and nabulsi) (but we had to make a new gfm campaign cuz our old organizer stopped contacting us).

I grouped these together because they kind have similar answers lol

Danny is super manipulative and condescending to the reader. I like to think that he started to think of her as someone he could save from poverty and whisk her away into a life of relative ease when they were younger. It probably was just a small crush or fantasy at first, but he started to get out of control when he realized that no one would really stop him or call him out on his behavior.

Reader's parents think he's some kind of savior, and the rest of the town still think of her like some lucky tramp who someone snared the town's golden boy by baby trapping him. Not many people can think of it being the other way around for various reasons. I mean, come on, why would a rich, sweet boy with prospects shack up with some two bit backwater hick? It just doesn't make sense.

He'd be super affectionate and happy to finally have you, but he definitely holds his wealth and reputation over your head to make sure you stay in line with what he wants. Just because he "loves" you doesn't mean he'll just let you run wild.

He'd buy you nice clothes, force you to go to the salon and get your hair and nails done. Like he promised, you wouldn't have to work in the fields or with livestock anymore. All you do, all day, is sit pretty in his family home while he gets your new house ready.

Donations needed urgently

My family and I are halfway to our goal, and we need as much help as we can get!

This donation was verified by @gazavetters , and is number 43 in the spreadsheet.

We don't ask for much, just 10€ should be enough!

By donating, you are not only helping me, you are saving me and my family.

We have managed to raise 26,000€ since the beginning of our campaign thanks to you, and like any other Palestinian fighting for his life against the oppressors, I do not wish for us to surrender to the murderous regime. Please, together we can raise enough to afford basic necessities and also to enable us to escape through the border crossing, once it opens.
