Ahmed, a young Palestinian man, standing in front of a tent and giving a peace sign.

Hello everyone 👋
I am Ahmed Al-Madhoun, perhaps many of you know me. I am still working hard to save my family from the genocide in Gaza, to provide treatment for my mother, and to meet our most basic needs.💔
Your donation, even if it's just 5 or 10 euros, will save us.🙏😞

T is OK for cis women but not trans men.

Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.

You see it, right? You see what this is?

Garlic, probably

It's slightly less bad today, so ik it'll go away but ugh, I hate it

My head feels like a stuffed olive

We’re now at 56% of the goal already! Let’s keep it going. Tell your friends there’s a screamin’ great deal on 94 instances of lesbian goodness waiting for them

In a bubble but I also think it fits into a larger trend of stories. Oscar is similarly very nuanced and was probably intended to read as trans, but they're both written with a lot of plausible deniability

Yeah, it reminds me a bit of early transition me, I tried to be more masculine than I wanted/was comfortable with for the sake of fitting in, I don't know how much of the story was intending to have a trans read though, like I was projecting for sure. I think Mulan has a lot of gender naunce-

The thing I love writing when it comes to the final battle between a protagonist and antagonist is that dark moment near the end of the battle. Where all seems lost, where it looks the protagonist is not going to win, and then something snaps, and the protagonist proceeds to kick ass.

From Abo:

I live with my 5 kids in a tent, enduring nights filled with fear. I have a heart valve condition,&their father is injured.
Please look upon them with compassion&mercy,&do not ignore these innocent souls—they desperately need you.
Hug them😭😭😭😭

I am still extremely sick and in physical discomfort, but I am thankful for those of you that read this 💖

and I'm unsure of the mcs age but they're late 20s at youngest, like the mc is married, they're all very much grown ass adults. I too wish for more books like you've described, a lot of what I read through tends to be romance with early 20s protagonists, which is fine but yk, variety.

I'm very similar to you in that sense, I vastly prefer physical media! I looked through everything I've read so far and honestly I think the best fit might be The Southern Magicks by Ashton K. Rose, it is an indie book, and you can buy it in print. It's a paranormal/fantasy thriller--

A belief unchallenged is a belief half formed. You need challenges and disagreement to fully understand who you are and where you stand. Your opponents, most of the time, aren't evil, and you do in fact, need them, and they need you.

The earliest thing I learned from becoming an Atheist and a Feminist when I was around 17/18 is that people will always hate you for disagreeing with them. And if someone hates me for disagreeing with them, I have learned that it is their problem, not mine.

yes I just, idk, there's art I wanna do :/

ugh I want to do things, but I'm like actually frustratingly very sick and congested, I hate it

Some of my doctor bills are out of network and don't count against our deductible. Which is just insane. I was unconscious and could not consent to care 'out of network'.
Upshot, it would be nice if I could get some book sales. Anything would help.
And it would make me feel better.

For this #SundayShoutout, I'm shouting out @danifinnwrites.bsky.social! Dani's work is absolutely fantastic and they are always so supportive in the community! My favorite reads from them are Disposable Magic and Woman and Other Creatures (which has the story Sister Thrush - I loved that story!)

Solomon holding a copy of Thyme Travellers, an anthology of Palestinian speculative fiction edited by Sonia Sulaiman

I've started this book, I've been looking forward to reading it for ages. I'm a couple stories in, they're beautifully written and heartbreaking. I highly recommend.

I am sick and in pain, and lamenting over my frustrations with the very Christian members of my family. Idk maybe reading some Athiest literature will give me some catharsis

As a reminder, I do freelance art and editing, I've also been doing voice-over work recently and I have done sensitivity reads/consultations. I am cool working for pretty cheap as I know that indie creators often have limited funds solomonskalozub.blogspot.com/p/services.h...
