Yesterday on the crowded roads of Dier al Balah, several people--one of whom was my friend, Mohammad Abu Alwan--carpooled in a vehicle. He was out collecting a transfer from donations, as well as securing food and other supplies. Suddenly the vehicle Mohammad was riding exploded from a bombing--the smoke was suffocating and my friend sustained injuries on his knee, as well as burns on his hands and legs. As you might imagine, this is causing him a lot of pain and discomfort, particularly as he must now continue to find supplies for his family. It’s been three weeks since Mohammad has tasted bread--but these two pieces must be shared between 14 people, the entire family. A single green pepper and a small tomato are the only vegetables to be found in the market of Dier el-Balah.

Please, please continue to donate--it’s the only thing sustaining the Alwan family!! But also please continue being a voice for the people who need you. Thank you so incredibly much, every little bit helps and I can’t overstate the impact everything has had upon this family.

If it's easier for you, you can also give via:

Venmo: gothhabiba Paypal: paypal.me/Najia Cashapp: $NajiaK

all with note "🍓" or "strawberry"

Venmo and Cashapp don't collect fees!

Remember that a $10 USD donation will get you a ticket in the raffle for a framed tatreez piece

I have two choices : either I eat bread made from flour that has insects and worms in it, or I die of hunger :(

I know that if I eat this bread I will get many diseases such as hepatitis!!

But I don't want to die of hunger!!😭😭

The price of flour is 200 $, I need your support, I need your help to buy flour at least, maybe someone with a merciful heart will see this story of a family that lost everything and left the house without anything and decide to donate to them and contribute to their happiness and warmth. Help us and support us in this terrifying nightmare that we are living, even if it is with something simple 🙏 Your donation will save us and make us happy 🥺🥺⚘️🍉

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

hello, i have an unfortunate update on Mai's (@abuhamdasblog) situation. as you know she takes care of her ill mother all by herself and of her family too, among which her brother was also severely injured during the genocide

today she has told me that she got hepatitis because of the contaminated water. as you know there's barely any potable water available in Gaza and people are forced to depend on the little water they are able to have access too. now that she's sick taking care of her mom is even more hard. medicine is also very expensive. the situation gets more dire by the day. please have it in your heart to donate what you're able to or 5$ AT LEAST to her gofundme (1.129/40.000$). for people in countries with weaker currencies, her paypal is also available and they accept any transfer amount. and i know you all afford to give away at least 1$ !

It's been said but you don't even have to like the PRC/DPRK, but people spread and believe such insane, racist, warmongering bullshit about them that even just telling them maybe they are being a tiny bit racist (usually much more) is viewed with as much scrutiny and vitriol as saying anything actually positive towards them is

in general unfinity was doomed from the get-go because making some of the set legacy-legal meant that all the cards had to be like. Balanced aorund being played with the black border cards which means that even the silver border cards had to constain their silliness to a level of like baseline sensibleness that eradicated the possbility of makin any kind of funny joke through game mechanics

Maybe her last wish before death‼️

Not to arouse pity, something happened to me today and I wanted to tell you about it. Today my sister shared with me a simple but deep and touching dream... She dreamed that she was eating chocolate - a small pleasure but dear to her heart. In all innocence, she told me that she wished to die so that she could eat everything she loved in heaven. Cuz for 400 days in this war we have not tasted chocolate and many things due to famine. Maybe it was a simple dream, but her thinking made me see life in a different way, how many small pleasures we sometimes deprive ourselves of, and now we realize them in the midst of this war.

Donate the price of the chocolate you love🤍

My family and I may die in this war but your help gives us happiness and hope in our lives and if we die the money will go to save the poor and treat animals as well♥️

I know they're named after him but for reasons I can't fully articulate it's hilarious that the guy who invented zeppelins was named Ferdinand von Zeppelin

Omar's brother needs help. He needs $700 to help cover his post-surgery costs. He has a liver bleeding and needs another operation again and needs blood transfusions. Sending the money via PayPal is preferred due to the high transfer fees on gofundme. When I get $700 I will send it to him. Please donate what you can. Omar's brother is in danger.

I'm writing to you with a heart heavy with sorrow And severe embarrassment. 😓

I never thought I would ask for help in this way but these difficult times left us no choice!

The war has destroyed everything we had, leaving us in a worn-out tent, battling Hunger, sickness and cold daily!

My little boy, suffers from severe infections, weakening his frail body. My mother-in-law, weakened by anemia, can no longer stand without help. Watching them suffer, unable to help, breaks my heart.💔😥

We urgently need Antibiotics, painkillers, supplements which cost 80$ per week, Any support would mean life to us.🙏
