Quackity: Let's see, now it's your turn to pronounce our names.
YD: Oh my god.
Roier: [Rolling his R] Roier.
YD: It sounds like you're making it harder to pronounce on purpose! 🤨
After trying to learn how to pronounce YD's name, Roier tries to teach YD to say his name and roll her R's! (She isn't very successful, but they do have a fun yodeling session).
Journalist Hossam Shabat reports from a shelter center in north Gaza. It is almost Iftar, the time of day when a Ramadan celebrant breaks their fast in the evening. Yet people in north Gaza have nothing with which to break any fast. Instagram user faridaek provides a full English translation:
With only about an hour left to set the Iftar table, we haven't found anything to replenish our food and Iftar tables. I Hossam am speaking, not as a journalist, but as a citizen like all the citizens wandering here, trying to find something to break their fast with. I and all journalists suffer alongside the people of our nation and our families amidst the famine we are living through.
Stop this war.
Allow aid through the crossings. Stop the mockery made by the aid planes and the humiliation inflicted on our people.
People of the North are telling you- we do not want these parachutes that demean our people.
We want the aid in an organized manner through the crossings so that we can actually access it.
Rewatching S1E7 of Helluva Boss is so incredibly painful knowing what comes next and it wasn't easy to watch the first time, like... Stolas just wants to be loved, he's so excited at the prospect of Blitzø reaching out first and you KNOW it's not going to go well, it's plain as day from the moment you start watching and it just somehow gets worse and worse and it makes me want to bawl my eyes out or scream uncontrollably and I'm wkdnejxjsnxn
God
Because finally, FINALLY, after ALL this time, an interaction between Stolas and Blitzø is initiated not by Stolas for once, no, for once it is BLITZØ doing the reaching out, and Stolas is at his beck and call
The only other time Blitzø has been the one to initiate contact was when he was literally about to die and had no way of knowing he was even summoning Stolas in the first place
So he shows up, and he's so excited, he's so overjoyed to be wanted on a night when no one else wants anything to do with him, because not only is Blitzø INITIATING contact, he's initiating nonsexual contact, he's asking him out on a date
Which Stolas goes out of his way to CLARIFY that it is indeed a date and Blitzø halfheartedly goes along with it, and so now Stolas is hyped because not only is Blitzø finally showing that he wants him, he's showing he wants him for his personality, because he's Stolas, and not because he has fancy shit to offer
And Blitzø, god, Blitzø is so fucking desperate for someone to love him, so fucking desperate for someone to care, so desperate to worm his way into places that he's not wanted that he is completely and utterly oblivious to the fact that Stolas is right fucking there, offering his bleeding heart to Blitzø on a platter and being 1000% genuine about it and HE SEES NONE OF IT I WANT TO BASH MY HEAD AGAINST A WALL GOD
AND THEN! AND THEN! AFTER ALL THE FUCKING SHIT THAT GOES DOWN, STOLAS IS STILL TRYING TO SALVAGE THIS MESS OF A DATE THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A DATE! BECAUSE SURELY IT STILL MEANS SOMETHING THAT BLITZØ THOUGHT TO INVITE HIM OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE RIGHT?? NO! IT MEANS NOTHING AT ALL AND IT GOES JUST AS HORRIBLY WRONG AS EXPECTED AND IM TEARING MY HAIR OUT AND PUKING MY GUTS OUT WHY DO THEY DO THIS TO ME
The yearly phenomenon where u get the first rays of sunshine and ppl (me included) act like it’s summer even tho it’s still just +1 degrees out; all I can think abt is making an icey coffee treat and I saw a person casually walking outside in shorts
