I'm Going To Ask Something Because I Genuinely Don’t Understand It. Why Do People Say Things Like:
I'm going to ask something because I genuinely don’t understand it. Why do people say things like: [Character] speaks [real-world language] because they are [real-world nationality]—(or similar things) when they were born in a fictional place that likely has its own fictional language and culture?
I get that it’s about representation, but what does that actually mean in this context? These are fictional characters from fictional universes. I’d totally understand if their story took place in a real location, like in the Marvel universe or something similar, but if the world is completely made up, then its demographics are just... different.
I just find it funny when people say it, because I don’t really get it, and I would like to get it.

Oh my...
(Just to add to the atmosphere, listen to Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce and read the verses below like the lyrics)
“The man of two minds and two voices
Who’s not in control of his sight,
Skin is gilded with scars, yellow tainting his thoughts, he stands tall,
Always ready to fight;
Can he make it through one more journey
With death, like a shadow, close by?
He’s been there before, Fate is taking his hand,
And then, they will dance one last time.”
Rewriting lyrics for a podcast…am I hyperfixating on it a little too much??? Nope👁️👁️ there’s no such thing as “a little too much”, it’s always “not enough”
Close-ups!! (Because I really like the fingerprints-)
It’s Spring
Mag 111, because I listened to it so many times that I used to be able to recite it from memory
Sorry about being a little late but it’s still…

the one thing that’s great about being a little bit sleep deprived is I fall asleep so much faster, I beat the insomnia with insomnia
I collect things
I've been collecting things for a long time now
Especially if they resemble turtles, bees, relate to any of my interests, are teddy bears, rocks, or pins

My Journey to Escape the War in Gaza
My name is Abdelmajed. I never imagined I’d be sharing my story like this, but life in Gaza has become unbearable. I am a survivor of the war here, and in the blink of an eye, everything I once knew—my home, my safety, my community—was ripped away from me.
The war has transformed Gaza into a graveyard of broken dreams. The buildings that once stood as symbols of life and resilience are now piles of rubble. Every corner is filled with the echoes of explosions. Every moment is shrouded in uncertainty. There is no security. There is no stability. There is no light at the end of the tunnel.
Basic needs have become luxuries. Food is scarce. Clean water is even scarcer. Hospitals are overwhelmed and under-resourced, and there is almost no medical care to be found. Every night, families go to bed hungry, praying they’ll wake up to see another day. The cost of basic necessities has skyrocketed, and it’s become a daily battle just to survive.
I’ve seen things I never thought possible—standing in long lines for a piece of bread, rationing every drop of water, and watching my people suffer in silence. I have lost everything—my home, my safety, my dignity.
Escape from Gaza is my only hope, but it’s almost impossible without financial help. The cost of evacuation is far beyond my means, and without support, I’m trapped in a warzone with no way out.
I’m reaching out to you now, in the hopes that someone, anyone, can help. I am not asking for luxury. I am asking for a chance—just a chance—to live. A chance to escape this never-ending cycle of fear, destruction, and loss. A chance to rebuild my life somewhere safe, where I can begin again, where I can find hope once more.
Any amount you can give will help me get closer to safety. Even the smallest donation will make a difference—it could be the lifeline I need to survive. If you are unable to donate, please share my story. The more people who hear it, the better the chance that I can find the support I desperately need.
Your kindness and support mean the world to me. You’re not just helping me escape a war; you’re giving me a chance to live, to rebuild, to breathe again.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for caring.

Today I had the best test I've ever taken
It was a group math test, and I ended up laughing and giggling with my friends.
Everyone else was suffering horribly, and we were just laughing at things like "triplet", "yeah facts, craft the function, by craft I mean cubic it, you know, let's Minecraft??", and "Wait… what’s 6×8?... 6×6 is 36'' (A little context, we couldn't use calculators and our brains were mushed up by the first set of questions)
I thought I was going to fail the semester, but there's still hope guys!
