Bring Amal Back from Iraq

Two years ago Amal, an American citizen (you may recognize her from Tumblr a while back), was taken overseas to Iraq. Her family secretly booked a one-way ticket; they lied about it being a vacation. They had a house built, and it is just her and her father, who won’t let her go back home. They also coerced her to sign documents in Arabic, which she couldn’t read, that relinquishes all of her money to abusive family members.

She has been contacting the U.S Embassy almost every day for the past year. They make constant excuses as to why they can’t help her. Her family and relatives back home have been fed lies by her controlling father, and refuse to help her. She does not have two more years to wait.

Please help her forego the excruciating, fruitless wait of the Embassy’s dangling promises. What your money will go first and foremost towards:

  • plane ticket
  • lawyers (possibly both US & Iraqi)
  • deposit and rent for housing while she readjusts
  • smaller things like groceries, therapy, a bed, transportation costs, clothes, etc

My roommate and I are offering her a place to stay when she gets back to America, but our resources are limited. If all my followers donate ONE SINGLE SOLITARY DOLLAR she would meet her goal. Youcaring is paypal supported. If you have another means of donating, contact me personally.

Thank you all 💖

💖Y’ALL, AMAL IS GOING TO BE ON A FLIGHT HOME SOON! 💖

thank you all so so so much for your donations. you all literally saved her and i cannot express my gratitude enough

i’m going to get a call from the Embassy to confirm exact details of her flight and pick up and i’ll update y’all asap

in the mean time! please please keep donating. i don’t want her totally struggling when she gets here.

 can someone please buy her futon/bedding/pillows!!! here is her amazon wishlist
*tell me if you purchase anything so i can thank you and let my roommate know what packages to expect

last antipocalypse we had anti actually referencing the “glitch b*tch” nickname we gave him and that almost killed me

next antipocalypse i have a mighty need for schneep or anti to reference the “schneep was in the bahamas/completing in the olypmics” meme xD

just like schneep going to cut someone open and going “ah yes! i have the precision skills of an Olympic figure skater” 

imagine the possibilities lol

A small list of random ass sites I’ve found useful when writing:

  • Fragrantica: perfume enthusiast site that has a long list of scents. v helpful when you’re writing your guilty pleasure abo fics
  • Just One Cookbook: recipe site that centers on Japanese cuisine. Lots of different recipes to browse, plenty of inspiration so you’re not just “ramen and sushi” 
  • This comparing heights page: gives you a visual on height differences between characters
  • A page on the colors of bruises+healing stages: well just that. there you go. describe your bruises properly
  • McCormick Science Institute: yes this is a real thing. the site shows off research on spices and gives the history on them. be historically accurate or just indulge in mindless fascination. boost your restaurant au with it
  • A Glossary of Astronomy Terms: to pepper in that sweet terminology for your astrophysics major college au needs

Adding to this since I’m working on a shifter au one-shot:

More:

  • Cocktail Flow: a site with a variety of cocktails that’s pretty easy to navigate and offers photos of the drinks. You can sort by themes, strengths, type and base. My only real annoyance with this site is that the drinks are sometimes sorted into ~masculine~ and ~feminine~ but ehhhh. It’s great otherwise.
  • Tie-A-Tie: a site centered around ties, obviously. I stumbled upon it while researching tie fabrics but there’s a lot more to look at. It offers insight into dress code for events, tells you how to tie your ties, and has a section on the often forgotten about tie accessories

Even more:

WRITING REFERENCES

*banging loudly* REFERENCES. I AINT A WRITER BUT IT LOOKS SO COOL

Don’t trust morning you. Morning you is a dick. Morning you would sell your loved ones if it got them 5 minutes of extra sleep

maybe morning me wouldn’t be such a dick if that flaky bitch evening me had gone to bed instead of tumblring til butts oclock int he morning

Well evening me might have fallen asleep at a reasonable hour if that dumbass afternoon me hadn’t lain down for a “little nap” that lasted four hours.
