My name is AbedALHADI, and I’m writing to you from Gaza.
The war took everything from us—our home, our safety, our peace. Today, my family and I live in a small, cold tent. My children sleep without warmth. We wake up each day to hunger, fear, and the unknown.
I’m not asking for money. I’m simply asking you to share our story.
One post, one kind word, one share — it might reach someone who can help. It might bring warmth back to my children’s lives. It might remind the world that we are still here, still human, still hoping.
From my heart to yours,🌹 AbedALHADI & Family 🌹
please donate and share with everyone you know💛💛
"Please, do not ignore my story. Your donation and sharing this message is a part of your humanity and support for us. Every help, no matter how small, makes a huge difference in my life and my children's lives. Be our voice, be the hope for those who have lost everything." 🇵🇸🍉🙏🏼

In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉
I once lived in a small home, filled with the laughter and voices of my children. Today, I have become a witness to the agony of displacement. The bombing forced me to flee with my children after a shell struck our home, leaving behind years of memories and simple belongings I never imagined would become unreachable. 🏚️💨
Every morning, I leave my tent and go to work, using a clay oven to provide food for my children. Meanwhile, my youngest son heads to the charity kitchens that offer aid, waiting for long hours under Gaza’s scorching sun. Despite the exhaustion that weighs down his frail body, he carries the food mixed with his tears and returns with a fake smile, hiding behind it the burdens of his struggles. 🍞🥀
At night, when everyone else is asleep, I remain seated at the entrance of my tent, gazing at the dark sky, reminiscing about days gone by… about my home that was once filled with warmth. Yet, I still find remnants of hope in my heart—a hope that one day peace will return, and my children and I will live in a new home, filled with joy. 🌙🏡✨
In moments of solitude, I find peace in prayer and supplication. I plead to God to protect Gaza and its people, to wipe away the dust of sorrow from our hearts. I always repeat🇵🇸🍉🌿
"We are here to remind the world that we are stronger than war, and we will rebuild our lives anew, no matter the cost!" 🙏
Stop please 🛑🚨
I am a mother from Gaza… we have lost everything.”
My name is Arej. I’m a mother of two little girls — Talia and Mariam. We have no home, no food, no clothes. The war has stolen our house, our safety, and even our basic right to live.
We haven’t eaten in two days. My children fall asleep from hunger, and I am helpless. I have nothing left to give them. All we have now is hope.
Please… if anyone can help, even 5 euros could save an innocent life from hunger.
Do not ignore the cry of a mother begging for her children.
Please save Talia and Mariam.
I have never seen days like these in my life. They are more like hell. I have not been able to provide milk for my daughters because of the high prices. Please help me. Help Maryam who is injured. We have no one. Please save us.

PLEASE MY FRIENDS, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TO ESCAPE THIS DANGER AND FIND SAFE PLACE TO LIVE.
EVERY LITTLE CONTRIBUTION HELP.
if you hate ai that much for stealing your work, why won't you quit writing fan fiction with licensed characters. you write with characters that are not even yours, so quit using somebody else's work right?
Hi Anon, my reasonings for hating AI span far and wide, my issues with work being stolen is more closely associated with c.ai creators who are stealing fics from Tumblr and feeding them into c.ai. The legal leg that I would have to stand on in regard to making a claim against a company like Open AI stealing my work would be shaky at best. The issue of AI stealing work spans further than the world of fanfiction. I would recommend looking into The New York Times v. Open AI to learn more about the issues with stealing work and feeding it to generative AI platforms. I've linked the filing for you to read, since you're so interested in this argument.
I assume you've read this post by my friend, you might even be the Anonymous User who started the discussion. For the sake of time, I'm going to try to refrain from repeating anything that she's already covered. However, I'm under the impression that you've chosen to avoid looking into the information and sources that she so kindly provided for you. Much like her, I'm going to provide you with answers to the best of my ability as well as sources. I'll be focusing on intellectual property laws, which is what you begin to graze the surface of in your ask.
I don't use trademarked material in my fanfiction, this would be a logo or audio that has been registered by Criminal Minds or, more specifically, CBS and Paramount Global. Therefore, I have to assume the "license" you're talking about is referring to copyright, but if you elect to have this argument with someone else in the future, I would refine your language. A copyright license is typically something granted by the copyright holder to a third party. This would be used for functions such as secondary transmissions of previously aired television, I've linked the U.S. Copyright Office's information on it for you.
You're right, the character's I write about are not mine, unless you're including the different "_!reader" variations that I use, which I would consider to be mine. If you're wondering whether or not I can do that, the answer is yes. Despite the fact that I do not own the copyright nor do I have any specific licensing to write fanfiction, my work is still protected because it is my intellectual property. This argument can be considered a slippery slope, and it is earlier to use other defenses should it come to that. Additionally, I feel it is pertinent to mention that registering copyright is completely voluntary, the main benefit of registering with the U.S. Copyright Office is that it enables you to bring up infringement suits.
Now, if CBS did see my fanfiction and decided to do something about it, their first course of action would be to issue a cease and desist. At which point, I would remove the work they refer to in the letter from my blog and no further action would be taken. Cease and desist is generally the first course of action in intellectual property dispute, exceptions may be held for trade secrets. Now, you don't need to play IP Vigilante for them, CBS is a multimedia conglomerate worth almost two billion dollars. I'm sure they appreciate your concern, but they're doing just fine, even with my fanfiction in the world. If you wish to bring this to their attention, their website asks for copyright concerns to be sent to the following:
CBS Interactive Inc. Attn. Designated Agent 680 Folsom Street San Francisco, CA 94017 designatedagent@cbs.com phone: (415) 344-2000 fax: (415) 344-1241
Now, what would they do following a cease and desist? Say I'm so impertinent that I don't allow CBS/Paramount to intimidate me into deleting my fanfiction from Tumblr. In copyright infringement cases, the burden of proof falls on the plaintiff, in this case CBS/Paramount, and they would need to prove that they have a valid ownership of the copyright, that the defendant (me) copied the work, and that such copying constitutes unlawful appropriation. My argument would be that fanfiction falls under fair use. In order to prove that the copying is unlawful, they would need to go through the Four Factor Fair Use Test:
The purpose and character of your use.
The nature of the copyrighted work.
The amount and substantiality of the portion taken, and
The effect of the use upon the potential market.
Note: A factor test means that only one "factor" would need to be satisfied for judges to make a decision. This is different than an element test where every "element" needs to be satisfied. Jennifer M. Romig & Mark Burge, Legal Literacy and Communication Skills: Working with Law and Lawyers (2020).
With all of this in mind, let me remind you that I don't make money off of fanfiction and I have no interest in making money off of fanfiction. It's acknowledged by IP Law professionals that fanfiction writers and copyright owners have a symbiotic relationship that only breaks down when fanfiction writers begin to charge for their work. This happens more often when fans dabble in visual media, which I'll address in the next paragraph. Things like fanfiction and edits have improved the defendant's argument, as I oftentimes see people say that fanfiction or fanart or fan edits encourage people to watch Criminal Minds. Furthermore, even acknowledging that I'm not the original owner of those copyrights wouldn't protect me from an infringement claim, which is a very common misconception.
Do I think it's likely that CBS/Paramount would ever sue a fanfiction writer on the basis of copyright infringement? No, I really don't. The main reason for that is that the publicity would not reflect well on the company. Company's do a lot to save face, and this would be an instance of that. While Paramount has never issued guidelines on fan-produced media regarding Criminal Minds, in 2016 they issued guidelines on fan produced media regarding Star Trek. These guidelines were released by the company and clearly states "CBS and Paramount Pictures are big believers in reasonable fan fiction and fan creativity." This statement came in the wake of a Kickstarter that raised $638,000 to create a full-length feature film set in the Star Trek universe. Now, maybe I'm just being humble, but I don't think my Tumblr blog has the same reach as that Kickstarter. It is for this reason that I believe my fanfiction falls under the "reasonable" umbrella provided by CBS and Paramount Pictures. If you still want to report me, I'd recommend looking into reporting the thousands of users under the "criminal minds fanfiction" tag on Tumblr and the 39,029 works tagged with "Criminal Minds (US TV)" on Archive of Our Own as well. If CBS were to bring legal action against me, they'd be setting a precedent for every other fan creator out there, you might as well point them in the right direction.
You may also notice that I've been heavily dependent on U.S. Copyright Law, this is because CBS is located in the U.S. and no other reason.
Finally, I want to take a moment to tell you that nothing produced by artificial intelligence can be protected by intellectual property laws. The U.S. Copyright Office has been unwavering in their refusal "to register copyrights for artworks created by artificial intelligence systems. The prima facie reason is a lack of authorship because the U.S. copyright regime recognizes only humans as authors" (Wang, 2024). If you're interested in learning more about this, I'd recommend looking at the Copyright Act of 1976 and the Lanham Act (Trademark Act of 1946) because those are two forms of intellectual property that people come into contact with most often, in my opinion.
Next time you choose to argue with someone over the law, I'd fact check your materials before submitting an anonymous message. I'd also recommend making sure they don't have a master's degree in legal studies. This topic is not open for debate until you come to me full educated on what you wish to discuss and further messages will be deleted on the basis of your own ignorance. I know exactly what I'm doing when I write things on Tumblr, do you?
Best,
Margot
Hera seducing Zeus
Based on the scene in the Iliad book 14. I followed how it was described + what Hera was wearing but also took some creative liberties.
A few common misconceptions and hurtful myths about the gods I worship:
• Demeter is not careless or selfish for reacting the way she did to the loss of her daughter. Grief, even amongst the gods, is an emotion so powerful that it causes us to loose control, and surrender to our own emotions. You would not blame a woman in grief over the loss of her child for having a mental breakdown. Also, I don’t personally believe that the plagues that befell Greece after these myths were written were caused inherently by Demeter, as agricultural disasters happened often, especially back before modern farming and cultivation knowledge, and it was if anything, a coincidence of timing which frustrated and worried men used as justification to attack and blame Demeter as a target of their angst, and a scapegoat to direct their suffering at.
• Poseidon wasn’t a rapist, nor was he inherently malicious or “evil”. Although he is most certainly impulsive and often aggressive, it is rarely in a malicious way, as many of the myths paint him as. You have to remember as the embodiment of the sea, sailors and others who knew the dangerous and unforgiving nature of the ocean often cast these traits onto Poseidon by association, and not all of the things they believed of him were necessarily true. The idea that he is a rapist is also a myth, or many myths, cultivated I’m sure by the high ranking and extremely misogynistic patriarchal men of Greece, who saw powerful male gods like Poseidon and Zeus as equals to themselves (foolish) and therefore believed that if they liked taking advantage of women and other unconsenting individuals, than surely they did too. (I imagine many found themselves smitten as a result of this.) if anything, Poseidon was more of a dominant father figure, like Zeus. He saw the women of the Parthenon as his daughters and sisters, as well as his followers, hence the reason many modern devotees such as myself refer to him as “father”.
• conversely, Artemis was not a misandrist, she didn’t hate sex, and she was not some uncontrollable psychopath. Many of Artemis’s myths heavily exaggerate her animalistic tendencies, which do exist, but are certainly not psychopathic or evil in nature, as nature itself is inherently incapable of being so. She also did not “hate” men, non-virgins, or sex. In fact, as the patron goddess of pregnant women and babies, these things are inherently connected to her domain. One of the reasons these beliefs have emerged, besides the myths, is that people have exaggerated the fact that as a virgin goddess who remains chaste as a virtue, Artemis tends to avoid men and people who aren’t women in her myths, not out of misandry, or other ideas that are honestly quite terf-y, and have been used to push transphobic narratives, but because she hopes to protect these virtues. She does not hate her male, trans, or otherwise non-cis woman followers, she values them just as much, and this is an unfortunatley common, and hurtful, misconception. Like Poseidon, she is often aggressive, and can be impulsive, but she’s MUCH more of a stern mother of nature, than a ruthless animal.

Please don’t fall for these common misconceptions, read Hellenic texts and stories yourself, and try not to spread misconceptions yourself! There are many reliable resources to avoid this, such as Wikipedia, theoi.com, and more! Have a blessed day 💙🏛️

New update for the Modern Holocaust in Gaza ‼️‼️
The last attempt for ceasefire is gone after Trump left the middle East without giving any hope about us so this is the end in Gaza 💔💔😭😭 🥺🥺🥺 ((killing+starvation)))
We lost hope this time and they will kill the rest of us by bombing or by starving so please read this and share as much as you can 🙏🙏🥺‼️
To the kind people who care about Palestinian life I'm seeking for help, I'm trying to scrape together the $800 monthly rent, that's all I need each month for my kids and to get some food for us 🙏😭💔
My full story 🙏💔
I'm Areej I was an English teacher and a creative writer at we are not numbers before war and everything change after October 7. Also I'm a creative writer at we are not numbers.
Dear my kind donors!
I am a mother of three children. We have lived through the war for a year and a half, and we have lost everything we own. My husband is a man who did not work. Before the war, I did not have a breadwinner or any source of income. During the war I didn't give up to teach so I volunteered and had good chance to help some students to get engaged again with English in a very creative way.
Please Save those innocent kids from war 🥺‼️🙏🙏
We are in tents for almost two years because our home was destroyed and my kids are starving now with no enough food 😭‼️🥺After our several evacuation from place to another.Now we don't have a house after it was destroyed by missiles. I now ask you to help me rebuild my house. And buy basics for the daily essentials for my children and I need money so that we can stand up again and start again.
This war wasn't easy at all it has taken many friends at work, students and some of my colleagues at the university. They are almost ten souls I won't never forget . Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.
My lovely students before war 🥺
My lovely home 💔💔‼️
Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:
🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.
😢 Loss: The absence of my students and my friends is really hurts.
💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
Note to mention the other very expensive essential goods. I hope you will stand by me to get food
The crossings boarders are closed again these days and war return in Gaza. The crossing through which food enters has been closed for more than 30 days. We have nothing to eat, and even if we do, the prices are exorbitant. Some of the prices listed are:
1 kg of meat = $100 now there is no meat
1 chicken = 70$ there is no chicken
1 kg of fish = 100$ now it costs 200$
1 bag of flour = $200 now it costs 600$
1 kg of cooking gas = $150 now it costs 1000$
1 kg of sugar = $50
1 kg of eggplant = $20
1 kg of onions = $50
1 kg of tomatoes = $20
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line

Update// Israel will occupied the rest of Gaza and will have no place to go to. Also hunger is killing us slowly here. Can you imagine that the flour is 600$ for one bag. My family is 8 person and now we don't find anything to eat please help my family and support us. Everything is so expensive and unbelievable 💔💔💔.Guys we need you in this harsh conditions I'm begging you. 😭😭
I’m Inge Kassab 22, dental student in Alazhar university Gaza, I have finished three years of my studies at the university and unfortunately my university has completely destroyed due to the war in Gaza and I can’t go abroad the city to continue my studies because all boarders around us were closed and I forced to live her under bombing.
For almost a whole year and half I have been living in Gaza, where wardestruction and chaos spread everywhere in Gaza.
I am currently in Deir El Balah after I have displaced from my city Gaza , trying to save money to rebuild home to live in a safe place with my family. My father is an old man who lost his work and my mom also lost her work. I need you to support me and my family to build our life again.
Because of the war, it has become impossible to provide money to live, buy food, clean and drinkable water, and education here. This money will be used to provide what the war has destroyed for us, and also to provide a place to stay, especially since we are now approaching the winter season, where we need winter clothes, repair the damage to the house, and provide what protects us from the cold and hunger of winter.
Gaza has become a place full of destruction and is no longer suitable for any opportunity here. Diseases have spread in the Gaza Strip, especially those skin diseases for which there is no treatment due to the war. The water here has also become polluted water and has spread, and there is not enough food for everyone here.
I created this campaign to ask for help and support from you. As a human being who lived an entire year and half under the flames of war, destruction, and tragedies, I am addressing you and asking you for help, to help me get a chance to survive war, death, and hunger with my family, and to start from scratch. A new journey of living and recovering from those traumas and painful memories that we experienced in the war. So we stayed in the Gaza Strip under the genocide to live in difficult conditions and complete our studies with the least available means. Before the war began, I was at the beginning of the clinical stage and the beginning of my work on patients, but the war came and destroyed all my dreams, as I lost my university and my dental tools, which cost my father more than $1,000, and I lost my future. But now I am trying to return again in order to complete the number of study hours and graduate. Therefore, I need your help to complete what remains, as there is only very little left to graduate and go out to work and help patients.
This money will also help me to cover our living expenses and buy food in Gaza. Buying food and groceries in Gaza is something we cannot afford every day because of the high prices, and there is no opportunity to work here. The money will also be used to buy available cooking gas, wood and firewood which will also be used to provide fires for cooking and also to keep warm from the cold at night in the coming days. Also I want to build my own clinic after graduation.
I hope you will hear my voice and help me get a chance to evacuate from here, and a chance to evacuate from Gaza if we can . 🥺❤️
So Please Help Me to Put (Dr.) before my name please make this post viral 🥺❤️‼️
Inge Kassab.
