you can give seven days of internet connection to someone in gaza for just 6 USD

gazaesims.com is a website dedicated to helping people donate esims for people in gaza. (for the ultimate guide to donating an esim, see http://tinyurl.com/gaza-esims) there are multiple options for where to purchase an esim to donate, for the price i listed you want to use nomad esims. you can get a $3 discount by using someone's referral code from the notes of this post. it also will give the referrer credit to buy more esims! (you can only use a referral code on your first purchase) @/fairuzfan also a tag for esim referral codes here, some of which are nomad. BACKPACKNOMAD is another code to get $3 off your first purchase, it's been working for some people but not others so try out a referral code instead if you can't get it to work. also it took over an hour for the email with my information to come through so don't panic if it doesn't show up right away. (logging back into your nomad account seems to have helped some people get their emails to send!) NOMADCNG is a code for 5% off any middle east region nomad esims from connecting gaza. it can be used on any purchase, not just your first but is generally going to give less off than the first-purchase only codes, so use those first. it can be used in combination with nomad points. (nomad promo codes do not work on plans that are already on sale, unlimited plans, and plans under $5)

weekly tuesdays only code on nomad web, PST timezone! it gives 10% off plans 10gb and above. NOMADTUE

troubleshooting hint 1: if you are trying to pay through paypal, make sure you have pop-ups enabled! otherwise the payment window won't be able to appear.

troubleshooting hint 2: if you are trying to purchase an esim using the provider's app, it may block you from purchasing if your phone does not fit the requirements to install and use their esims. use their website in your browser instead and this problem should go away.

edit as of 4/9/24: nomad (regional middle east), holafly (israel and egypt), simly (palestine and middle east), and airalo (discover) are currently in the highest in demand. here is a purchase guide i made that covers all of the esim platforms, including these three platforms. if it has been more than 3 weeks since you initially sent your esim and your esim has not been activated, you can reforward your original email with the expiration date in the subject line. you can see gothhabiba’s guide for how to tell if your esims have been activated. if your esim has expired without use, you can contact customer service to renew or replace it.

I must not explain the joke. Explaining the joke is the joke-killer. I will face @massachusetts-official‘s followers who did not get the joke. I will permit them to pass over me and through me

i want to study at a boston-area university.

i will pronounce color as caalah and use smoot units. i would watch Cheers on Netflix all night while drinking cranberry juice with my flatmates. i'll have dunkin donuts every day that's worth 5 dollahs. i would go to dorm parties every night. i am also more likely to meet Matt Damon, the New England Patriots, Mark Wahlberg and the MBTA.

i wish i was from massachusetts :(

#the irony is that. #i DO study at a boston-area university #some might say THE boston-area university #oh sweet sweet tumblr users who thought this post was genuine and not a dead meme that I attempted to necromancy

smoot units?

Genuinely, I don’t know how else to get the word out, but I feel like if your home-cooked dinners don’t taste right, you're missing either paprika, sugar, butter, or chicken bouillon.

You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".

Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

Masterpost of playlists I've made. Arranging good songs or things with some shared nebulous personally meaningful quality into a new cohesive whole is a good thing.

bunch of tracks spanning classic early bossa nova up to 70s samba rock/funk/soul, possibly a few early 80s. appoaching 13 hrs all killer no filler

(what is balearic?) Balearic for me starts with trying to figure out the balearic section of the reviews pages in mixmag as a norwegian teenager in the late 90s. Not a genre, more of a feeling, and a history going back to the Balearic islands in the 80s. Anything with the right feeling could be balearic, but the evolution from early electronic dance/italo to newer house interacting with other types of mainly european music with a balearic feel is the concept here. Custom order.

This goes for the melodic vein found in late 60s to mid 70s giallo/genre Morricone soundtracks more often than not featuring Edda Dell'Orso singing. Morricone is legendary of course but somehow still feels underrated to me. Some compilations focus on this part of his music but this playlist does it better.

80s boogie mix. made for shuffling. playlist that had to be.

balearic virus. something going on with these songs. pop songs that don't pop. custom order.

Late 80s early 90s party rap music

Inner City Life by Goldie - the sound, the vibe and that point in time. The introduction of Goldie worldwide was pretty much "this is a new form of music". This playlist follows that train of thought for a little while.

Early 90's breakbeat rave. Think early Prodigy, Genaside II et.al. Too bad Spotify has so many holes with this kind of music.

short and sweet playlist with Tracey Thorn in various varied guises and collaborations.

Eurodance dominated the charts for a while in 90s Europe, where it was just "dance". Even if new manufactured "blonde female singer and black male rapper" duos seemingly popped up every other week from central Europe somewhere, the borders delineating it from more credible dance music weren't as rigid as it could seem.

sometimes you gotta make up hobbies for work. if a coworker asks what I did over a weekend and all I did was get high, I tell them I went rock climbing. lying about hobbies also allows you to request time off for a hiking trip, etc. if you don’t want to tell your manager why you actually need time off.

my manager just asked me what my hobbies are outside of work and i cannot accurately describe how surreal it was. it was like being asked by the guy who locked you in the dungeon if you used to do anything fun before they locked you in the dungeon.
