Most of us will never know the agony of being a parent that does everything to provide for their child, only to keep coming up empty. Of the immense suffering and self-loathing that comes with being responsible for this little life, and feeling like you're failing: to keep them safe, warm, sheltered, fed. Of holding your child, your toddler, your newborn, watching them slowly waste away from that relentless, gnawing hunger you can't stop (one that you feel yourself). Watching as they howl in pain, and the hollowness that comes when your child becomes too weak even to do that. All the while being totally helpless to stop it because it's not up to you.

Most of us will only see the aftermath of such a thing: a parent carrying the far-too-light shroud of their child, pictured under a headline that details how starvation has taken hold of some given population. Distant and removed from us.

Except that it isn't. There are so many desperate parents who've run out of options, for whom this isn't some abstraction, who are asking—begging—us for our help. Just so they'll be able to buy some of the shit canned food left from the last aid delivery, and a couple loaves of bread to feed their children with. Extortionately pricey because of scarcity, but it's enough to keep their children in a state of "acute malnutrition" rather than "catastrophic hunger", so they'll pay anything for it.

Attacks on NGOs & prevention of aid into Gaza puts every single person there at risk of a slow death due to starvation. Especially children, like Samah's newborn baby boy, her little 2 year-old girl, and their big sister (who's only 9). But we can help. What's pocket money for us, is an invaluable lifeline to parents like Samah. At a time when so many seem to have decided to live in an alternate universe in which deliberate starvation and mass slaughter of civilians is acceptable, we have to do what we can to oppose it. Not to push it away, to ignore it, to decide it's been going on so long we don't care or that it's hopeless so give up, but to grit our teeth, dig our heels in, and say "no, seriously, what the fuck are we doing here?"

tldr: donate to Samah so she can buy food for her kids so they don't starve to death. please. and thank you. :)

Really the kicker about discussing colonialism intrinsic to certain fictional tropes/archetypes/genres/what-have-you is that white bitches et al get SO mad about it. "Ohh so I'm not allowed to play farming sims? Wearing a silly hat makes me a fascist now?" I was just exercising critical thought but yknow what? Just for you? Yeah it does

Hello everyone👇❤️

Lovers of humanity and compassion ,we are six members of a team.

Today we write from a heart filled with hope, but also... Gaza's children suffer from an intolerable disease; Every day they pass by is a great challenge in the face of poverty, injustice and pain. These children, through no fault of their own, live in a world that is down to the simplest components of life. What you need is needed for help. With every moment, the pain in their souls continued, and hope triumphed in their hearts. Education, food, and play are now just distant dreams. But thanks to your generosity, we can bring those dreams back to them.

Your support means a lot. It can provide them with: Healthy diets protect their weak bodies. Educational programs that give them the opportunity to learn and grow. Recreational activities that help them regain their innocence. Together, we can make a real difference in their lives. Your donation today is a step towards saving lives and restoring hope to the hearts of underprivileged children. Let's unite to give them back the smile they deserve, and let every donation be a bridge towards a better future

Join us on this noble journey. Let's make children's voices louder, and let the world know that they deserve to live in dignity. Together, we can change their lives forever. Thank you for your support and generosity. Best regards

"Life is meaningless without struggle" is wrong in that most people's lives has waaay too much struggle than optimal. When there is the optimal amount of struggle people really like it, that is why video games are so popular.

i share a lot of fundraisers on here but right now i want to take a moment and bring extra attention to @ibrahim-family's campaign, #25 on the @gazavetters spreadsheet:

he's only fifteen years old. younger than my youngest sibling. and he's responsible for saving the lives of his family. can you imagine having to grapple with that at 15? would you be able to handle the pressure?

every day he messages me, full of anxiety when my responses lapse, and when i share his posts or tell him what i can do to help he tells me he loves me.

today he told me that his uncle was martyred just hours earlier.

when the genocide is over, ibrahim is still going to need love and support, but right now he needs the resources to survive. please, please, please donate what you can to his campaign, no matter how small.

This little bnuuy can fit so many thematic parallels in it

I think the Saber resemblance is a bit weaker for her and mostly comes with the fact that she resembles Shirou (who has Saber parallels), and the Amiya-Shirou parallels are also obvious, but I hadn't thought about the Bedivere parallel before. Rotating it in my head

"Clearly Nearl is Saber, she is the Radiant Knight and a symbol people look up to"

"Dude, Siege is Saber. She's basically King Arthur and shares her VA"

No. The wise knows they were just smokescreens. Arknights tried to fool us by making her pink.

This game's Saber is Theresa.
