Engagement with Palestinian fundraisers have dropped an all time low! This should not be the case! We need to continue our support. Especially since a ceasefire is a temporary solution! It does not mean the occupation has ended. Ghazzah and the West Bank are still under siege. The IOF continues their violence and families need to purchase essentials!
Please consider donating to my lovely friend, Suad Ahmad. She is a computer engineer who has given birth to a baby boy named Khaled, and he suffers from a respiratory infection. Let's raise the short-term goal of 49K! $48,560 USD has been raised. There is $440 left to go!

Please offer your support to Sami @samy-family11 and his family in Gaza. They urgently need the funds to evacuate to Egypt. And to buy diapers, milk and blankets for their baby. They were retained by the IDF but they were subsequently released. They currently have no tent to live in and have to endure the cold harsh winter in Gaza. Imagine having to sleep in the streets during extremely cold weather, with no tent to live in, and you see your own baby numbingly cold with no winter clothes or milk to drink.
While you have the privilege of being warm and comfortable in your home, preparing for the holidays. These people have to go through some of the most inhumane, soul shattering and painful things that should not be allowed to even happen in the first place. But very thankfully, you can help them out.
Please, pitch in. I beg you to share, donate, reblog. Even if you donate just a small amount, it would help them out immensely. If you can’t aid financially please do whatever alternative you possibly can. Together, we can all help this amazing family achieve their goal at gaining the beautiful life that they wholeheartedly deserve.
This campaign is vetted by association, and the organizer of this campaign is doing art requests for anybody who has proof of donation.
lukewarm take but i personally do not give a shit if poor people cheat a system that was designed to fail them anyways. i also coincidentally do not enjoy the taste of boot rubber

@ people who carry bags everywhere what do you put in them what is there to bring other than chapstick, keys, phone and maybe a tampon why are you packing a suitcase to be outside for 5 hours
I don't know how to write these words, as my heart can no longer bear this pain. I feel as if I am drowning in a sea of helplessness and fear, while my little boy, Mohammed, suffers in front of me, struggling to breathe, in pain every moment. All I can do is shed tears and pray.
My child is suffering from severe lung infections, and his condition is getting worse by the day. The doctors told me that the only hope to save him is urgent surgery,
But when I heard the cost of the treatment, I felt as if the world had collapsed on my head. The amount required is very large, and I only have a small amount of it. I cannot stand idly by and watch him suffocate in front of me, but I also don't have the ability to save him alone.
I beg you, please💔❤️🩹
Don't let the disease take him from me while I am powerless to do anything. Any help, any support, even if it's just sharing this appeal, could save his life. Nothing is more painful than seeing your beloved child in pain, unable to relieve his pain.

After I graduated from comp sci with big dreams of working in game dev, the only job I was able to find after a year of unemployment during the lockdowns was as a consultant at an investment banking firm and when I say it was soul-crushing that's not an exaggeration. Not quite on the same level as working on killing machines but I couldn't stand it, went back to school to pursue art.
The kicker? It's easy to get a job with a comp sci degree where I live. The military is understaffed. A STEM degree will get you fast-tracked with bonus pay into a cushy intelligence officer or analyst desk job with a pension, benefits, and if you're still able to sleep at night after a couple years that's not a hard pivot into the private sector.
I've been told by career military folks that I should just enlist when I was broke and desperate for a job, like it was obvious and like that knowledge wasn't already haunting me.
I know what it's like to make the wrong call when faced with that choice and I'm never doing that again, but it's made me reflect a lot on the kinds of compromises the system we live in forces upon us.
god I could be so wealthy if I had no ethics. that's so fucking frustrating. I'm living paycheck to paycheck because I'm not grifting vulnerable idiots on TikTok. I feel like I have the ability to very easily scam people. I could make a killing with AI. but god. I have morals and ethics and so I get to be poor as shit. I hate this fucking world
tragic! trans person no longer merely tolerating the act of existing just now realising their entire wardrobe is ass
Judy, a child from Gaza, has four siblings and her father Sami, a notary who works hard to support his family. But with the war, he cannot work, and he has to instead relocate himself and his family over and over to try and stay safe, enduring heat, cold, freezing rain and avoiding the occupations bombing in only the shelter of tents when they have it. And because no aid has entered Gaza in so long, food can be even harder to find, and more expensive than ever. Sami relies on donations from people like us to do what he can for his family, his children, and keep them fed. Our dollars are powerful as currency and can help Sami get these essentials and stay safe. Even if you only have a few to spare, the help adds up when many can give it. Sami, Judy, and the rest of their family thank you.

6 Tips for Crossing the Road
Look both ways
The road is for cars.
Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none.
Use designated crosswalks
The road is for cars.
So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk.
Cross at the light
The road is for cars.
There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above.
Leash your pets
The road is for cars.
Obviously.
To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.
Look out for road kill
The road is for cars.
And no one was there to leash the deer.
Or the raccoon.
Or the cat.
Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill?
Remember these tips
The road is for cars.
Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between.
Unfortunately, you are not a car.
You are an animal.
You are in-between.
So remember to look both ways.
