Incredible discourse happening today and I’m here for it

it makes one almost feel disconnected from the broader morality that this thread has no mention of any Iranians who have been or will be murdered by the United States. the only mention of lives at risk of being lost are US soldiers, the only targets missiles, boats, factories

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

it's only foreseeable if you believe other people, in particular muslims, have interiority and agency. so if you're wondering how they are this stupid it's racism. they honestly believed that they would terrorize people for a week and it would break them so much they'd do what they were told

14412/26k RUB (11218 considering the first donation sent we had to spend to get to this point), rent day tomorrow. Should make rent, if family helps, with the last donation the utility bills, if the landlord sends them, should also be covered. Monthly living expenses are another matter.

It is the holy month of Ramadan and I am still struggling to cover costs of shelter, transportation, food, and my mother’s treatment 🙏

Your support means everything to us — every donation, every share brings hope back to our lives. 🫂🇵🇸🌙

im drawing on a tablet in a cafe, the tablet is a cartoon of a man saying "im mr f slur and im here to catch AIDs" and i think to myself "if they kicked me out rn i would fully understand"

(Obviously this is a simplistic reduction of all the social and economic forces that pushed us to this point, but like, I only have so many characters to work with here.)

So much of politics is just normal people being like "why do you have to do this thing that nobody even likes" and the response is always "we just gotta."

Downloaded. Compressed. Shared.

I mean, I think it'd be easier to just make any sort of actual effort to push to stop the war, but what do I know, I must just be too politically simple-minded to understand these big-brained moves

Okay I guess I'm not sure I understand. The idea is that, gas prices have skyrocketed because of Trump's incredibly expensive and unpopular war. So, the Democrats will lower gas prices, which will make the war more expensive, and also more popular?

I just watched gas prices near where I work go up 10 cents within a few hours.

Text post about Majd's surgery and recovery, including photos of his medical documents and scan, with a call for support for his physical therapy, with medical records and a CT scan of the spine. "My dear friends, Yesterday Majd’s surgery was performed and the blood clot pressing on his spinal cord was removed. From my heart, thank you for the mercy and kindness you showed us. Without you we could not have reached this moment. Majd woke up after the operation and is stable, but he still cannot move the lower half of his body or his feet. Seeing him like this breaks my heart. Doctors say everything now depends on how the spinal cord responds after the long pressure it endured. They ordered immediate specialized physical therapy to awaken the nerves and give him a chance to move again. They told us clearly: there is no time to delay. This therapy requires special equipment available only at Al-Wafa Specialized Center in Gaza, and the cost to begin is $700. Please stay with us. Your support may help Majd stand on his feet again."

$700 needed for specialized physical therapy ⚠️

please help Aya & Majd 💜

I mean, I was fired for having cancer two weeks after receiving a merit raise, so that should tell all of us working folks that nothing is beyond the pale for corporations.

Stuff like this reminds me why Gen 3 sucks

Playing around with Pokemon contests in Gen 3 and it is genuinely ridiculous to me that there is no actual foolproof way that I have found to max contest attributes beyond a ridiculously convoluted method using link cables and Nutpea berries

Safety for Ruaa | Instagram | Linktree Ruaa is a young woman supporting her family of 7. She is entirely reliant on our help, so we’re stepping up.

Ruaa is permanently banned from bsky, which means her mother’s severe injury is going without sufficient care.

We’re trying to change this equation througj recurring help. Can you click “monthly” on a coffee so her survival doesn’t depend on visibility?

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

bare minimum I need to get some orajel, some mouth wash and some extra strength tylenol. I am kinda begging and hoping for some compassion cuz I live with chronic pain daily and adding a toothache on top of everything is making life unbearable right now. I am relying on your kindness and compassion.
