          hi friends <3 just thought i’d pop in with a small life update and to say a few things!
          
          first of all, i realized this morning i never updated anyone after my mom’s car accident LOL? but both she and my aunt are okay, they had concussions and pain but nothing lasting or damaging thankfully. thanks to all who left nice comments on the post about it, you’re so kind and thoughtful <3
          
          second, i wanted to update that after months of being unable to afford to bring my sweet girl athena home (i made the choice to cremate rather than bury her, so i can have her with me always) i was FINALLY able to yesterday thanks to my new job. it was both extremely hurtful and healing, but i feel much better knowing she’s with me now.
          
          on that note, i have a new job!! one that is in the career field i want to peruse!!! i’ve been working as an early head start teacher for nearly a month now, and despite the small struggle and adjustments of being a beginner childcare giver, i love it and i’m so happy to no longer be working retail/odd jobs. i’m being cautiously optimistic that things in my life are starting to work out.
          
          (1/?)

hi all, i’m getting on to please ask you to keep me and my family in your thoughts. my mom and aunt got into a car accident today in a completely different state to where i live and we’re not sure how serious it is yet, though i’m told it wasn’t fatal or anything like that. i’m on my way to her now but it’ll be hours before we get there and i could use all the good energy possible.
          
          thank you guys, i hope you’re all doing okay. 

hi everyone! just popping in with a small hello and to say that i’m starting to do okay, and am hoping to start writing again soon! i hope ur all doing well and life is being kind to u <3
          
          i also wanted to post real quick about some face claims that have been circulating around the asoiaf/hotd fandom lately that i’ve noticed while lurking here and on tt, and i just wanted to make sure that everyone knew about their terrible behavior in case you didn’t already. and if you did, and you’re still using them, i’d suggest maybe looking for an alternative and stop using bad people in your fics. i’ll list a few alts in case anyone might need one. 
          
          — kit harrington as jon snow. kit equated the wildlings in the show to palestinians, saying “if you let a whole bunch of fucking wildlings through your gates, it’s like isr*el letting through a whole bunch of palestinians, or palestine letting through isr*elies.”
          — timothee chalamet from the king: participated in an snl skit of “hamas”. not demure or mindful. did him next bc the alternatives work for both tim and kit.
          • jon snow/kit/tim alts: harry gilby, aneurin barnard, ferdia walsh-peelo, harry collett, sebastian amoruso, dev patel, garret hedlund, kodi smit mcphee, george blaggden, luke pasqualino, giorgio belli.
          
          — sophie turner as sansa stark. this one was disappointing to find out but sophie posted twice on her insta story supporting isr*el. there are also videos of her saying the n word.
          — kaitlyn dever from rosaline: posted in support of isnotreal. did next bc alts work for both her and sophie.
          • sansa stark/sophie/kaitlyn alts: rachel hurd-wood, isolda dychauk, charlotte hope, georgie henley, amelia gething, ellie bamber, halle bailey, christa theret, alicia von rittberg, ceara coveney, erin kellyman.

hi y’all <3 apologies for how long it’s been since i was last active, but i am here with a small update/announcement about my life & account.
          
          over the last year and a half, several things have happened in my life and to my family that have taken up the majority of my time and mental energy, hence my absence from wp and my other socials. unfortunately, this all culminated last monday when my sweet pup athena passed away after suffering from heart failure. she’d been sick since february, and was doing really well on medication until the end of june when her health went down hill very fast. athena was my soul dog and best friend, who i’d had for 10 years this november, and it has hit me so hard despite being prepared for this outcome for a few weeks now. this, along with everything else that has happened to me this past year, has put me in the worst place mentally that i’ve been in for a very long time. the grief i feel is hard to explain, as i lost my grandmother and thought i knew grief, but athena was everything to me and this is affecting me in a much deeper, different way. 
          
          i’ve had a lot of time this past week to really sit in my feelings and think about my life, including the social aspect of it, and i’ve decided that i’ll be putting this account and other socials (like editing on tiktok, insta and discord) on hold for the time being. i feel as though i don’t have the mental capacity to be engaged as a writer, editor and reader, but most importantly, i do not feel as though i can be a good, present friend at the moment with the current head space i am in. i’m not sure how long i’ll be off social media, but it will be for some time while i try to get my life and mental health back on track. i won’t be deactivating my accounts, but i just simply will not be on them.

today, during international women’s day, do not forget the thousands of women suffering in palestine, congo, sudan, and around the world. it is hard to celebrate anything about being a woman at all when there are women who are being exploited, murdered, and stripped of their basic human rights. the fight for women across the world is never ending, and it is important to recognize that on a day like today.
          
          please take a look at some of these links to stand in solidarity with women facing such extreme emergency and crisis. if you have more, please feel free to share in the comments.

hi everyone, just getting on to remind y’all that some mutuals and i set up a server to stay connected on palestine, sudan, congo etc and everyone is welcome, especially during the strike this week. we have lots of resources, education and news posted and continue to post if anyone needs it.
          
          please remember that this isn’t a social setting, and while general conversation is welcome this is for a specific purpose. if you join, please be sure to read over the rules carefully.

good morning everyone! i’m posting to say that a user on twitter/x (@/alien_bunny_) has organized a global strike that will go on until the 25th of february (https://twitter.com/alien_bunny_/status/1749956333905064113). as always, this means to avoid school, work, shopping, and halt all business. if you are unable to miss work or school, you can organize walk-outs, continue contacting your reps, and physically show your support to palestine, sudan and congo by other means. if you can, pull any money from bank accounts and do not spend ANY unless you absolutely have to.
          
          this user pointed out the unfair responsibility put on people like motaz and bisan to organize strikes themselves, and has taken the initiative to organize one. i will be participating myself, and will be joining my fellow wp friends in not posting any regular content on here or tt. i encourage everyone to do the same, and to share this on your own mbs as well. 
          
          thank you to @sanktham for sharing the link and helping spread this around. 

also, it might “just be football” to you, but the strategic use of the super bowl last night to distract and bomb rafah was no coincidence. the strategic pro-israeli ads, the zionists celebrities and football players/teams, and the out pouring of publicity made this happen for israel. do not delude yourself into thinking this wasn’t about money for the NFL, the US government and israel. they have all made money from this and the price is the death of millions of people.
          
          it is no regular person’s fault that this happened, especially those of us who have been posting and speaking doing what we can. if you watched the show, it’s not your personal fault for enjoying a game. no one could’ve known, and i was just as shocked to turn off my tv, open my phone and see the news. but it’s very important to recognize the timing, and recognize how easy it is for us to be distracted by such big events like this and reflect on how that could’ve happened. 
          
          “it’s freaking football” when really it’s the lives of many. to ask why no one can just enjoy football and claim there is no agenda is privileged, insane, and it is wildly inappropriate and tone deaf to not only say such a thing, but to prioritize your enjoyment and comfort over palestinians currently facing a genocide as well. 
          
          if you think this way, block me, do not interact with me, and do better. 

hey everyone, apologies for not being very active here as opposed to instagram, but i wanted to get on to join everyone is raising awareness on the bombings in rafah last night during the super bowl.
          
          rafah is currently the only safe zone in gaza, with 1.4+ million people crammed into the area, and was bombed by isr*el and the outcome has been catastrophic. this was an intentional and deliberate move given the majority of americans, and even the world, were tuned in to the game. 
          
          this is the final state of ethnic cleansing and it is happening before our very eyes. the forcible relocation of palestinians to rafah and the timing of the super bowl has allowed for it to happen. if you truly believe this wasn’t intentional then you need to reevaluate everything you know and have ever done.
          
          please read these posts and do not stop speaking and fighting on this. if you have not invested yourself in this, if you have not spoken, if you have not done anything, now is the time. now more than ever.
