Food for thought

If you’re an American federal employee and got an email saying “it’s ok to quit your job.” Do not, for the love of everything, quit your job. This is purely a scare tactic to get rid of as many people as possible without legal consequences.

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

the pistachio food trend is soooo interesting because it's like. i've been following the californian pistachio water politics for years, as a californian with personal connections to agricultural workers but! basically there's been a big push in california agriculture over the last decade to pressure farmers to produce pistachios, because iran has dominated the global market in pistachios for decades, and the US government has been trying to weaken iran economically, so they want to make california pistachios a competitor. which is ridiculous, because california's agricultural infrastructure is suffering under a drought, and pistachios take insane amounts of water. so a ton of water is being redirected from the people in order to engage in a trade war with iran over fucking. pistachios.

anyway now that the US (i.e. california) is producing more pistachios than iran, the next step is to drive consumption of pistachios, so that the farmers who are producing these pistachios can continue to make money on them. ergo all the fancy pistachio coffees at starbucks and similar shit like suddenly being able to find pistachio butter in grocery stores when five years ago it was exclusively available at specialty stores and online, and the huge boom in pistachios foods in instagram and tiktok recipe content. like i watch a lot of instagram foodie reels (cooking/baking is one of my hobbies) and these get thrown onto everyone's feeds, to promote the purchasing of pistachios, so that the US can stick it to iran. it's. kind of incredible to watch this happen in real time, because it sounds like deranged conspiracy thought, but like. i've been watching this trend for the past decade and it's fucking real.

anyway one of the vegan recipe accounts i follow just posted like five pistachio-based recipes in a row and it makes me feel some kind of fucking way

Fun Fact! If an autistic person gets too excited and starts doing racist shit, this is because they are a racist, not because they are autistic.

The nazi salute is not an ambiguous gesture. It's not something you would do on accident, unless it is something you're used to doing on purpose.

If a person is autistic, and a white supremacist and nazi sympathizer, when you make excuses for them because of their neurotype you are literally enabling fascist behavior in the public sphere and actively insulting all autistic people.

Manal has arrived safely in Cairo and is awaiting life-saving treatment! As of writing this, the Al Manasra family is $5,250 away from covering Manal's scheduled blood transfusion.

None of this would have been possible without your compassion and generosity towards this family's campaign. I will be sharing frequent updates until this final stretch for the fundraiser is complete and the entire family is safe. Manal's hysterectomy has been funded and she will be operated on tomorrow. After two days for recovery, the family will be expected to pay to remove infected blood that still threatens her life. Please help this family celebrate the ceasefire by ensuring the mother's survival.

the Al Manasra family is vetted #192 here by El-Shab Hussein and Nablusi.

I live with 2 roommates, one of them has cancer, me and the other one have mono rn. My roommate who has cancer gets a port put in tomorrow to start chemo. The house isn't even clean enough for that yet, because we haven't been able to afford to get all the proper cleaning supplies.

Everyone in the house was disabled before all this, and I've been the main provider for a while. Right now, adding to the shittiness of it all, my check is late, and if it's not in by tomorrow, we won't be able to pay rent on the 1st, which would get us evicted because we don't get a grace period.

We need about $1,300 before the 1st just to get the house clean for her to start chemo and to pay rent. Oh, and the storage unit that is holding all of the stuff I have left from my dead dad is closing, and we need to rent a truck and drive up there and get our stuff before that happens on the 15th.

Proof below but dm for more proof I know there's a lot I've mentioned in this one post but, but also it's less than half of what's actually going on rn so.

More details regarding the gfm below the cut.

The gfm is specifically for my roommate and her needs through treatment, the funds given to it will specifically go towards her needs. My links above are attached bc we need to cover rent now, and even if we tried, we could not use the money on gfm for that due to the 3-5 waiting time. The money on gfm now will be just enough to cover an apot copay and a large shipment of some meal replacement drinks since she's struggling with dramatic weight loss.

There is something deliciously funny about AI getting replaced by AI.

tl;dr: China yeeted a cheaper, faster, less environmental impact making, open source LLM model onto the market and US AI companies lost nearly 600 billions in value since yesterday.

Silicone Valley is having a meltdown.

And ChatGTP just lost its job to AI~.

I am Falestine, Jad Al-Haq, I am 37 years old, married, and I have a eight-month-old child named Youssef. I gave birth to him during the war during very harsh conditions that no human being can bear. I moved from the hospital immediately after giving birth to the tent in which we were staying after we were displaced to it after the Israeli bulldozers completely bulldozed my house. and my suffering did not start from here. Rather, it began since the beginning of the war, and I am still suffering. I cannot provide enough milk for my baby or diapers. Even medicines and vitamins are not available.

I ask you for your urgent help in disseminating the link to my family and communicating it to people interested and able to help us.  I didn't want to do it, but the tragic situation we are living in is what pushed me to do it.  I feel sad and helpless, after we had everything, we are now homeless on the streets, living in a tent next to a dilapidated public toilet and there is sewage, dirt and waste everywhere, we sleep on it!  We suffer from terrible heat, insects, scorpions, the danger of death, bombs and missiles, in addition to hunger of course, the danger of pollution and terrible diseases, especially the digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems!

.  My father and mother could not bear it any longer. My father had a stroke after losing his home and his place of work, and my mother suffers from chronic diseases and needs treatment.

  Do you have the right to imagine that when you spend your life building for yourself and your children to live a decent life, all of this disappears in the blink of an eye, and now when you reach the age where you should rest, you are forced to start again!!?  But the most important thing now is to try to survive and protect your children from all the factors of death that surround us!  I ask everyone who has humanity or conscience to feel our situation and put themselves in our place.  How can someone who has lived with dignity all his life accept this?  We are slowly dying every day.

Your donation, no matter how small, can have a big impact.  It can provide a meal for my little one, a clean bottle of water, or a moment of safety under these difficult circumstances.  Every donation brings with it a ray of hope, alleviating our suffering and giving us the strength to face a new day.

I ask you to donate and support the steadfastness of the Gazan people, and share this campaign with your friends and families.  Together, we can make a difference and help my family get through this ordeal.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support.

Warm greetings,

Falestine

I am so thankful that most of my Palestinian family members have survived, but the fact that some of them didn't (one of whom was a child only fifteen when he died) will weigh on my soul forever. And even through that suffering I know I am fortunate, for many more people have lost their families entirely, and even more have been killed. There isn't anything I can say that hasn't been already said, but please keep Palestinians in your heart in the coming days, and in the years after. Don't forget what has happened.

She lost her support, but she didn't lose you

The father is the family's protector, the knight in his daughter's eyes, the steadfast guardian, the unshakable fortress. Now, imagine the overwhelming heartbreak when this fortress crumbles before her very eyes. Imagine the devastating void a daughter feels when her sense of security is ripped away. This is exactly what happened to Rania.

Rania, a sensitive and gifted artist, witnessed the unimaginable—her father, her source of safety and strength, was taken from her in front of her very eyes while the family sought refuge in Al-Shifa Hospital.

Despite the crushing weight of her loss, Rania continues to channel her pain and the collective suffering of Palestinians through her art. Her work speaks volumes about resilience, hope, and the indomitable human spirit.

But Rania needs our help to keep going. She now carries the burden of caring for her mother, her siblings, and their children. Supporting Rania not only honors her father’s memory but also ensures that her art, her story, and her family’s survival continue to inspire us all. Let us stand with Rania and enable her to be a family supporter after her father

This is also the PiPal link for immediate support if you can't donate via GofundMe

Rania Youssef's campaign received €4,819 five months ago, but in the last days her campaign slows down. Any donation you can send to Rania will serve as a support for her after she loses her children.

This is Saleh al-Din and her brother Huda, the children of my sister, who was not three years old, and they are now between a conflict between hunger and bombing in northern Gaza, which means from the war since October 7, Saleh and Huda has not seen their child. Saleh was flying over him. Saleh was shouting over him when he screams and says throw playing here. He wished a game to play instead of hearing the sound of shelling and feeling hungry, so I wish everyone who has a living conscience by participating in the publication or donating Saleh, Huda and the rest of my family so that we can live their child❤️💔

URGENT: help shimaa shelter her family

hello everyone, we are in need of funds urgently as shimaa's rent is due quite soon! rent is due on the 5th of february, but due to the fact that it takes a few days for the bank transfer to occur, we are hoping to raise the required funds by january 31st. we are hoping to raise $525 as quickly as we can so that we can make this deadline.

these funds will ensure that shimaa's family, most of whom are disabled or were made disabled by the genocide, are able to rest comfortably and keep in good health. shimaa's young nephew, in particular, is severely chronically ill and was orphaned by the israeli occupation. it was almost impossible for him to stay healthy while in the tents.

any and all extra funds will go to this family to purchase food, cleaning supplies, et cetera.

if you are able, please click through the link below to donate:

(alternatively, you can use paypal.me/qquwq or via simk’s P/P email: kuuhaiyu@gmail.com. you do not need a paypal account to donate to this fundraiser!)

every dollar helps - even a $5 donation means a lot to us. thank you all for your consideration and for standing by us as we continue to help out our friends shimaa and ahmed. we couldn't do this without you!
