Sometimes A Make Some Noise Prompt Hits Too Close To Home.

Had a dream this morning that Archive of our Own had a Random button which would simply take you to a random fanfic, like Wikipedia has. (AO3 does not appear to really have this, I checked and couldn't find one, but I kinda wish they did.) Someone had started a game where whatever fic you got, that was your new fandom, which is very fun! I would love this meme in real life.

The problem came in where so many people used the button that it broke and just started sending everyone to Stealing Harry, and like...I have fond memories of Stealing Harry but it's not my best work and nobody should be assigned to be a Harry Potter fan in this day and age.

So I decide to go off and find Astolat and demand she fix this but when I finally did (there was a whole quest) she turned to me like the baddie in a horror flick and said, "But that's the most random story there is" in a dark voice and I was terrified and woke up.

In the cold light of day I know there are more random stories by me on the archive, let alone by others, but I'm not going to try to get back there to argue my case. Pretty sure whatever I spoke to was actually the demon specifically assigned to plague fandom and not Astolat at all.

I'd say "get thee behind me, demon" but I know just how many porny fics on AO3 begin with that premise. (I've written some.) Begone foul spirit, and take your Satanic Panic with you!

I am literally broken; I don't know what to do. I can't endure the same thing again. I thought the situation in the North was getting a bit better, but waking up to this message has shattered me completely.

At the beginning of the war, I wasn't able to contact them for days, not knowing whether they were alive, and I searched for their names in the news. I can't go through that again; I don't have any more energy.

I am so far away and already drained. What about the people there?

I can't think about anything else.

I will be away for a while. Please don’t forget them. Pray for them and for everyone, and please keep me in your prayers as well.

Don't stop your support for them.

Donate to Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive, organized by Abdallah Alanqar

The story will be in three languages: English, French and Arabic … Abdallah Alanqar needs your support for Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals f

Amidst the ongoing war in Gaza, we find ourselves as a family trapped between walls of fear and despair. I, Mohammed, a father of three children and a husband to a woman in her eighth month of pregnancy, live in an environment filled with threats and risks.

My technology startup, which I built with dedication and hard work, was destroyed during this war, leading to the loss of our livelihood. My children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, no longer have the opportunity for education due to the destruction of schools, posing a significant threat to their future.

- "A souvenir photo of my startup company."-

My wife, Enas, lives in constant anxiety due to her advanced pregnancy and the destruction of hospitals in the area. After losing my job and source of income, I find myself in a severe financial crisis, unable to provide for the needs and safety of my family.

- "Me and my wife Enas majed "-

Our family home was destroyed due to the war, forcing us to flee and move multiple times, leaving us homeless. Everything has become difficult now; we cannot provide a safe place to live, nor can we afford clean clothes and food for our children. Additionally, our children have been afflicted with diseases such as measles, and our son Adam has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis.

-" layan & sara & adam in the war" -

Our only hope now is to escape from this ongoing hell and find a safe haven for our family. However, this requires exorbitant financial costs, with the coordination fee for crossing borders amounting to $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, a sum I cannot afford alone.

- "My home before the war "-

We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure the safety of our family

Thank you for your attention and support, and we hope you can help us in these difficult circumstances.

Hey everyone this is rlly different from my usual posts, but please strike for Gaza this week!! The US has been financially backing Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people for decades, so now we’re being asked to halt the economy for just one week.

As much as you’re able, strike from your jobs, your school, spend as little money as possible. no fast food or transportation, Venmo or PayPal, stock up on the things you’ll need this week!

Palestinians currently don’t have access to clean water, food, electricity, or medical care. Their homes are being stolen and destroyed and our tax dollars are paying for it.

If you want more info, look up Bisan Owda, a woman reporting directly from the Gaza Strip. Spend money you would’ve spent on Uber or coffee on donating e-sims, or to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. This is something we can do to actually make a difference, so please let other know too!!
