“I’m gonna write a great paper!”—hubristic, makes you have performance anxiety, disintegrates you, big arduous task ends in you falling flat on your face
“I’m gonna write a super mid paper! And I’m gonna have a good time while I do it!”—better. Less anxiety. Shifts focus towards completing the task. Sometimes good results anyway. But if not? No worries.
Rebuilding What Was Erased – A Message from Abedmajed in Gaza
My name is Abedmajed, and I live in Gaza with what remains of my once large and loving family.
In a single missile strike, we lost over 25 members of our family. They were not just names. They were mothers, daughters, sons, grandparents — people we shared meals with, laughed with, and built dreams with.
The missile hit our family home — the heart of everything we knew.
Among those killed were: 🕊️ My mother 🕊️ My sister 🕊️ My older brother His wife and their three daughters 🕊️ My uncle, his wife, and all their sons and grandchildren
We were left with nothing but rubble and grief. Yet somehow, my brother and I survived. And now, we carry the responsibility of rebuilding what was taken — not just for ourselves, but for our father, our surviving siblings, and the memory of those we lost.
This campaign is not just about survival. It’s about rebuilding a future — A family home, a shared life, a place where our father can rest safely, Where the next generation of our family can grow up knowing peace instead of trauma.
🏗️ Rebuild our family home — which was completely destroyed 🛠️ Provide basic support for our father and siblings 🏡 Create safe, livable conditions for a family shattered by loss
Due to the collapse of Gaza’s financial system, all donations are processed through my brother, who has a U.S. registered Stripe account. Funds are securely transferred to Gaza and distributed in cash here on the ground. We are transparent and ready to provide proof of every step.
We are not asking for charity. We’re asking for a chance to stand again, To rebuild something we can pass on to the children who survived.
Your support gives us the strength not just to remember the ones we lost — but to honor them by continuing.
💬 If you can’t donate, a reblog means the world. 🕊️ From Gaza, with hope and dignity — thank you.
So, tell me I'm not dreaming I like the way you see me Yeah, no one ever sees me

In episode 3, when Briony the psychiatrist, asks him if his dad has women friends and he's offended that she thinks his dad is cheating on his mum. Female friendship is not considered possible unless attraction is involved. Love from female friendship is not something he's seen modelled by his dad. His dad's mates are all men, so his mates at school are all boys. Women are not seen as full human beings worth being mates with.
This is modelled by a majority of straight, cis men in real life. Children have mixed gender friendships in primary school but too often the opposite gender relationships fall off in middle/secondary school as children enact stereotypical masculinity and stereotypical femininity at school. They learn from the adults.
We do this as adults. As couples in committed relationships, we let our opposite gender relationships fall by the way side as we are concerned for the suspected insecurity of our partner of us maintaining a platonic friendship. Men and women do this. Societally we only keep opposite sex friendships if they come as couples. Then we hang out separately with our same sex mates. Attraction is always expected in platonic relationships.
This pattern is observed by our kids so they do the same. This is obviously only majorly part of straight, cis relationships.

Please.
