I don't know if I can put in words how much I want a red stapler. It is a lot.
Under $20. I'm not saying you should buy it, but I will suggest that a lot of dreams can't be fulfilled for under $20. [link]

askye, I am so sorry. So much ~ma to you and yours.
There are riots in my city tonight between racists and Arabs (this is not the first time it happens during Ramadan. And there were clashes in the last few days from both sides). This, along with the leadership failure that fuels these riots, is heartbreaking. (Not even sure if riots is the right word. We call it pogrom attempts). It was also worrying personally because I have a academic workshop that ends late on Thursdays on campus on the other side of town and I found myself trying to understand when the violence will start, because my way home goes through the places where the riots are. There are some brave activists that are going there to protect folks from attacks, but I'm not one of them. I love this city so much. It hurts to see it this way.

Our wings are not tired.
That is heartbreaking, Shir. Please be careful.

Oh, Shir. I'm so sorry. Be careful and safe.

Thank you. To clarify, because I realize that I forgot to phrase it clearly: I went through the city center (where the riots are) about 30 minutes before everything started. I saw the police getting ready to separate between the two sides. And some very clueless people who haven't read the news and were heading out to have some fun outside (poor souls).

I'm so sorry that's happening, Shir. Stay safe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oof, I'm sorry to hear that, Shir.

Timelies all!
I'm sorry to hear that, Shir.

Shir, that sounds so scary and upsetting.
Askye, that situation also seems scary and upsetting. Hopefully your Uncle Jimmy will be there soon to take some of the pressure off your mom.

I’m sorry, Shir.
Askye, your aunt’s reaction is understandable, but I know it’s hard to watch.
