"casual ver" because i could go on a TANGENT about this man and his music, but alas this is just a teeny weeny quick video (URGENT INFO + NO-COST OPTIONS) URGENT: ESIMS ARE NEEDED MORE THAN EVER! ESIM DONATIONS HAVE BEEN GOING DOWN DRASTICALLY! LINK BELOW TO HELP OUT, IT'S ESSENTIAL IN CONNECTING PALESTINIANS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD TECHNOLOGY-WISE! Please donate if you can, or share to those who are able! The family I am promoting with Operation Olive Branch is over HALFWAY to their goal! They're currently at €38,740!!! The last donations were 20 hours ago (as of September 15, 2024), and the one before that was four days before. The donations are slowing, but Yousef, Ahmed, Salah, Ibtihal, Samah, Alam, Omaya, and Yousef are so so close to leaving the genocide that is taking place around them and getting medical attention! The goal is to evacuate to Egypt where they can get the necessities they need, including a father needing medical attention for a neck disc problem and a stroke. Evacuating a family of 8, including 2 children under 4, is unfortunately not cheap--but if it means their safety in a genocide against their people, I hope we can collectively help put even a little bit of money towards getting them out and safe and reunited with family! An update on this family from June 19: "We must share the painful truth of our current reality with you. Just two weeks ago, our house-the home where we were born and where we lived our lives, surrounded by love and memories-was destroyed by the occupation. They didn't just tear down walls; They tore apart the very essence of our past, taking away every treasured memory. That was our haven, our beloved home. Now, the thought of returning is a distant, shattered dream. My family now endures life in a tent, vulnerable to the merciless blaze of the summer sun. The scorching heat is relentless, a constant torment. We are not just grappling with the oppressive temperatures, but also with the shortages of food and medicine and the crippling high prices that everyone here must bear. Our suffering is heartbreaking, and we are left to struggle in a world that has turned its back on our pain. Right now, part of your funds is crucially supporting my family as they endure their horrific situation to cover their daily high expenses. Thanks to your support, we have reached 50% of our fundraising goal! We still have hope that the border will be opened again soon. We are getting closer to saving my family with each extra donation."

And PLEASE, organize with your community, or even go to Facebook to see if there's any community action you can take to let your government and your representatives listen to OUR COLLECTIVE VOICES instead of the voice of money and greed! - Over in the DRC, sexual assault is used as a weapon, as a tactic. One of the reasons the world was able to engage in learning about to begin freeing the Palestinian people is the abundance of videos shown of Isr*el's brutality. Blood, gore, things nobody wants to see. But in the DRC, these images and videos of sexual assault against children as young as INFANCY obviously cannot be circulated. Not that it should take gore and terrible images to be circulated for people to pay attention; there is a level of dehumanization that plays a significant role. The fact that any of that is almost necessary for people to pay attention to the brutality faced by black and brown people, in comparison to the NONE that was needed for the world to support Ukraine, is appalling. - "The DRC has witnessed the highest number of grave violations against children in armed conflict in the world for a second year in a row in 2022, with at least 2,420 children suffering from 3,377 verified violations such as killing, maiming, abductions and sexual violence." (SavetheChildren.org) - As of 2019: 1 in 10 children will not make it to the age of 5. 13.1 million people are DESPERATE for humanitarian aid. 4.5 million are displaced due to conflict. - 1 in 15 children are acutely malnourished. - Visit FriendsoftheCongo.org friendsofthecongo.org/ - DONATE shoes through the Ntibonera Foundation!

Ow- theres a conspiracy he had laser eye surgery- which is devastating haha! I’m not 💯 I just Not seen him wear gigs (except 😎 ) at all this album circuit- even on candid/days off. As a fellow gigs and contacts wearer - it’s just something I notice. Haha - I’m not a weirdo - honest! I totally get it! Contacts are a pain But dang! There’s a charm to a nerdy /handsome glasses wearer tho. 🫡
girl i'll be sending this to my *_one_* friend, hoping she doesn't ignore it like the rest of the Hozier stuff i already sent her (it wasn't even a lot) lmao 😭
okay, i actually have wonderful answers to both @ 3:07, so: 1)"Sunlight" for the first dance at the wedding; "Francesca" could also work well for those not religious since it's based on a couple from Dante's Inferno. If bolder, i'd do one of my super sexy favs, "Shrike" for a biiite subtle lyrics most won't realize are sexual and just think it's weird and poetic in some way they don't grasp, ooor, for overtly not giving any fucks, "NFWMB". 2) "it will come back" is my answer for someone who ghosts you and then comes back unexpectedly, or for a sort of uninterested take would be "first time" in that, learning to let them go sort of way.
Usually SNL does more than one take for those ads announcing the new show....someone really clever at finding clips and videos could dig them up. I'm betting.
