Magikarp Plush Giveaway for Donation to Shaima and Muhammad's Children!
Hi all, inspired by Malik's (15 years old) love for video games and Salma's (5 years old, currently suffering from severe intestinal infection) love for plush toys, my friend has offered to make a Magikarp crochet plush, freely given to anyone who donates to Shaima and Muhammad's fundraiser (minimum $5 USD donation)!
There has been no donations for a while, so any donation to help break this stagnation is highly needed!!
The dimensions of the plush is roughly 22 inches length, 11 inches width, and 20 inches fin to fin. This item is for U.S. shipping only.
Every multiple of $5 will count as a separate entry (for example, if you were to donate $15 to the campaign, it would count as 3 entries!)
The raffle will end September 7 end of day, and the winner will be announced September 8! Please send a proof of donation (including the date and amount contributed) to me via direct message before the cut-off date!
Please spread this giveaway information to your Pokémon loving friends, so they can win a cute friend and help a family in the process! My friend is very experienced in making crochet plushes and i can personally attest to its high quality!
Still only 17 entries for this giveaway!! Please donate what you can spare to this family so they can register the remaining 3 children for evacuation!!
Please direct message me the receipt of donation (including amount donated and date) and you will be entered 💛
Please help donate and win this valuable piece that will give you happiness because you donated and helped save innocent children. 🙏🙏🥺
How happy I am that everyone is trying to save my family. Please don't give up on my family and support them until the end. They need every one of you able to participate. And those who are able to donate, you are all saving vulnerable and innocent lives, people who are apparently exhausted. Their faces showed weakness and pain, children killed by hunger and exhausted by disease. I ask you and appeal to everyone who is able to donate. You are their hope. I strongly ask you to advance their campaign to the path of salvation

But what - you may ask - is it like to recognize the face of non-dual awareness?
Although one experiences it, one cannot describe it. It would be like a mute person trying to describe dreams.
It is impossible to distinguish between oneself resting in non-dual awareness and the non-dual awareness one is experiencing.
When one rests naturally - nakedly - in the boundless state of non-dual awareness, the urgency of injudicious hyperactive conceptuality, memories, and troublesome plans - evaporates and disappears in the spacious sky of awareness.
Referentiality collapses and vanishes into non-dual awareness...

The fact that homelessness is controversial tells you everything you need to know about conservatives.
Ex foster kids, First Nations people and individuals with mental health issues. Homeless is a reflection of our failure as a society, not of individuals.
my fave is when afaik no one's done that 'lie abt prev' game for me
nvm i got one 😌 i normal now
Grad school is lying to you. You can indulge fixations on obscure topics on your own time. You can sit in a library color-coding notes on articles printed from JSTOR for free. You can argue with dead philosophers in essay format whenever you like. Academia is a state of mind.

Under communism all big mansions will be converted into big games of Clue
that's what they did to the Romanovs
if you run a gimmick blog with a patreon and start whining about the gofundmes of refugees I think at the bare minimum you should be legally required to get PIG tattooed on your forehead in large bold letters with reflective eye-catching ink
I really hope everyone is aware that the GFM that writing-prompt-s targeted is a legitimate GFM. The man who sent the ask, Mahmoud Balousha, is a real refugee in Cairo who I talk to every day and for whom I’m managing another GFM, as well. That one is for his sister, Maysaa.
You can scroll like 5 posts down my blog to see my infuriated response at that waste of space and Mahmoud’s exhausted and defeated response to hearing his desperate calls for help were met with such bullshit. I spoke with him for 3 hours straight after having to reveal to him the lies being spread about him and his family, apologizing in any and every way I could think of to try and make up for this vile, racist, hate mob of spoiled little shitstains who decided to potentially destroy a family’s hope at survival.
Please don’t forget Mahmoud in the midst of all this, please donate and help his family! Maysaa’s campaign has only just broken $3k out of the $60k needed to evacuate her family of 6. Please don’t let your only activism be anger and quips, that helps no one, least of all the Balousha family.
Oh my God I know Mahmoud!! Literally the man has been trying to evacuate his family for MONTHS!
A month ago we were desperately trying to find a trusted friend to help be the organizer of a gfm campaign for his nephew Karim!
Please please please anyone who sees this and has the means please check out this masterpost of the Baalousha family's campaigns and donate!
does anyone want a recommendation for my favourite communist danmei of all time
Hello, everyone! My name is Shen Jianguo. I am a night school instructor teaching ideological development and Marxist philosophy, occasionally analyzing recent policies and measures for my students.
All my classes are held in the middle of the night; I’ve never seen my coworkers or students during the day. The training institute’s classrooms are all in abandoned schools, hospitals, or residences. The license plate number of the bus that picks me up is 444; it always arrives at my house at precisely midnight and disappears at five in the morning.
What? You’re saying I’ve met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don’t believe there’s any such thing as ghosts!
its soooo sweet and good and while there is some tongue-in-cheek fun poked at sjg’s staunch communist character it’s ultimately a really loving representation of what it means to be a materialist, being led by one’s socialist ideals, using them to guide and support others. the relationship between the mc and ml is very sweet, but the highlight is between the mc and the supporting cast of students and fellow teachers. it’s a comedic lighthearted read, genuinely genuinely highly recommend.
On a day such as this, let us not forget scripture:
happy joe biden is a rabid dog and should be beaten to death with a stick wednesday
By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.
Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.
This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):
Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):
Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.
But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:
- Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.
- Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation
- Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.
- Meditation
- Martial arts
- Sports in general
- Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)
- Woodworking
- Cooking
- If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers
Things can be easier. You do not have to be stuck forever.
i just wanna say real quick that when Tim Walz inevitably compromises everything he's stood for in the past and drifts further and further right over the next four years and also enthusiastically commits genocide against Palestinians I hope everyone celebrating this pick rn takes a good look at their behavior
Don't forget that he is a staunch supporter of israel, that's reason enough not to get excited
And he called the national guard on protesters after the murder of George Floyd
