I Sincerely Hope This Cat's Name Is Richard

🕊️ Please Take a Moment to Read Nadin’s Story

My name is Nadin. I never imagined I would write something like this. I’ve always been someone who kept her worries quiet, someone who believed that even the hardest days could be endured with patience and faith. But right now, I am reaching out — not because I want to, but because I need to.

I am a wife, a mother, and one of many women in Gaza trying to survive days that feel like they have no end. There was a short time — a brief ceasefire — where we thought things might start to heal. Where the sound of war faded for just long enough to let us breathe. But that moment is gone now, and the fear has returned louder than before.

My days are filled with uncertainty, and my nights with prayer. We have lost so much. Our home was damaged, our sense of safety taken from us. But through all of this, I try to keep going. I try to hold on to what little peace I can create with my hands, my words, and my love.

I am not asking for much. Just a little help to keep our lives from falling further apart. To fix the small things — a cracked wall, a leaking roof, the pieces of daily life that help us hold on to dignity.

This campaign isn’t just about survival. It’s about holding on to what makes us human in a place that keeps trying to take that away. It’s about showing my daughter — even though I won’t mention her name here — that the world didn’t forget us.

If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of suffering, please know that even the smallest gesture can carry great meaning. A kind word. A shared post. A quiet donation. These things remind us that we’re not alone.

Help Nadin Keep Her Life Stitched Together

My name is Nadin I’m a mother, a wife, and just one of many women in Gaza who are trying to hold on — to hope, to our families, to any piece

I am still here. Still holding on. Still believing that people out there — people like you — still care.

Please, if you feel moved, consider supporting or sharing this campaign.

i had dream you were a plum instead of a fish and you were arguing with a grape

any grapes out there looking to start some shit?

You can't even lay in bed cuddling your girlfriends all day anymore.

Because of work

Can't have shit in the Malevolent fandom wdym we're the whimpering in holes podcast ?????

Here is a 30-day challenge to add more color into your creations!

On my hands and knees begging adults to allow children to engage in risk play.

And by risk play I don't mean handing them a gun and playing Russian Roulette.

I mean like climbing trees, getting so sick spinning on the swing they throw up, balancing on the curb, sitting in the mud, walking on slippery surfaces, building half ass ramps to ride their bike over, standing on rocks, or anything that involves a smidgen of confidence and out of the box thinking that could result in injury.

Obviously like watch your kids and such, but when we talk about the fun of being an 80s or 90s kid, it's not just talking about CDs and Walkmans or not having iPads. It's about how kids today were robbed of critical learning and experience skills we were allowed to have.

Playgrounds disappearing, helicopter parents, and sue culture really destroyed a child's development in the United States, and I think it's about time we as adults recognize that, because the kids sure have.

Nothing made me laugh harder than Batman visibly about to lose his shit because he didn’t figure out the last riddle and the fucking Riddler just starts randomly singing “AVE MARIAAAAAAAAA” on the top of his lungs

Fascinating is one of the cuntiest words.

Responding to hatemail? A poorly envisioned and understood argument? Someone who is "cooking" but with gunpowder on a propane grill?

It's "fascinating." Followed by a deft "surely" to drive the knife home.

Fascinated by the implications of this conclusion you've drawn. Surely this hasn't been destructive to specifically your cause in the past... [cites 12 discrete instances with sources attached where is has been destructive specifically to that cause]

Ohhhhhh that sucks so hard for you, don't it? Makes you clench your teeth and draw a shallow breath through them for a limply worded retort borne on sour emotion and chagrin.

Oof. God. That's not a good look, but it's absolutely fascinating.

I'm not usually one for schadenfreude, but hitting them with that "fascinating" gets me wet like a slip'n'slide.
