🚨 Urgent Help Needed! 🚨

Hello, my name is Wafa. My family and I are from Gaza, and we have experienced unimaginable suffering since the war began. We have been displaced five times, losing everything—our home, belongings, and even our sense of security.

The most devastating loss was my father, who passed away on 30/11/2024 🕊��💔. He was the heart of our family, a man full of love and strength. He was battling sarcoma, a painful and aggressive type of cancer. Before the war, he was receiving chemotherapy, but as the war escalated, access to medical care became impossible. We couldn’t even provide him with basic pain relief or nutritious food.

We watched helplessly as his health deteriorated day by day under inhumane conditions. Losing him has left us broken and devastated.

Now, I live with my mother, my three sisters—Nadeen, Walaa, and Liqaa—and my two brothers, Mohamed and Ali, in a tent on our own. We struggle with everything, unable to provide for ourselves or meet even the most basic needs. The tent offers little protection, and we lack access to clean water, food, and proper sanitation. Every day is a challenge just to survive, and the uncertainty of our future weighs heavily on us all.

Your support can make an enormous difference in our lives. It will help us rebuild and regain some stability after losing everything. No donation is too small—every act of kindness brings us closer to a chance for healing and survival.

From the depths of my heart, I thank you for your compassion and generosity.

Tribute to the greatest youtuber and minecraft player to ever live; Technoblade.

Happy World Cancer Day! The drawing is a bit rushed, but I just wanted to post a tribute to Technoblade.

Technoblade was the person who would have enemies and turn them into friends. Allies. His jokes always made his viewers laugh, including me, even after a bad day. He's the type of creator who's content you'll get hooked to. You watch one video and then proceed to watch the rest. There will never be another like him.

February 4th is celebrated as World Cancer Day, and brings recognition to cancer. The yellow ribbon I included around the sword is the representation of the rare and deadly sarcoma, a cancer that affects fats, muscles, blood-vessels, bones, nerves and other connective tissues. I would heavily recommend doing your reasearch on cancer. We lost the Blood God to this disease, and he rests so that we can work to stop us from losing others. It is a deadly killing machine that looms over us at all times. We must fight back.

Serious question

Are you subscribed to Tommyinnit? He is trying to get to 15K becuase Highpixal will give him a custom rank, that only Technoblade has ever gotten, and they will personaly donate 50,000$ to the sarcoma foundation which is Technoblade's cancer foundation. I want to try to help him go and double check that subscription to Tommy 🫶

(Sorry for my English, I’m Dyslexic)

It just fell upon me: does anyone know the numbers of about how much of the sarcoma research is actually funded by Minecraft YouTubers?

[pinkycakes]

RIP Technoblade-perhaps the greatest Minecraft player to have ever played. Though he can't be with us, his legacy will continue on. His content will keep impacting and inspiring each and every day.

Fly high, Technoblade-thank you for being an inspiration to all of us through your work.

Alluvial - Death Is But A Door

As a huge music fan, I try to keep my ear to the ground and see what kinds of bands and artists are on the come up, or what’s been getting a lot of hype, because I want to be on top of any band or artist getting a lot of praise and buzz in any particular scene, especially the heavy metal scene. I’ve been a metalhead for the last decade now, and I tend to keep up with what’s popular and what bands are getting buzz, but one band that apparently has been getting a lot of buzz for the past few years is progressive and technical death metal / deathcore band Alluvial. This band began from a former guitarist of The Faceless, and it also began as an instrumental act, but their second album, 2021’s Sarcoma, brought on board a vocalist, more specifically a former vocalist of Suffocation. I’ve listened to Sarcoma a few times, and that record is a really unique slice of death metal that encompasses a lot of different sub genres of metal. They just dropped a new EP, entitled Death Is But A Door, and I was really curious about this, so before I listened to Sarcoma, I thought this would be a good introduction to this band, as a lot of EPs typically are. They’re a 15 to 20-minute introduction, so if you’re not into it, you don’t feel as though you spent much time with it. If you do love it, however, and it has some good replay value, it’s short enough to revisit over and over again.

So where does this EP fall? Well, it falls into the latter, thankfully, as this EP merely continues what the band did with Sarcoma, but this was my introduction to them, and I was blown away. This is a four-song EP that shows what the band can do, especially if you want a short little introduction to these guys, you got it. The first three songs are death metal bruisers that will get you head banging in no time, as they combine deathcore, djent, progressive death metal, and technical death metal into a ferocious package. Both the instrumentation and vocals are top notch, and they showcase every member, not just one or two. This is the kind of band where each member gets their time to shine, not just the vocalist or the guitarist.

The last track, which is the title track, is where things slightly deviate from what we’ve heard in the prior three songs, but not by much. This song is a bit slower and more melodic, as there are clean vocals on this song, which sort of threw me for a loop, but Sarcoma features more clean vocals. If you’re not familiar with this band, the clean vocals may put you off a bit, but they’re fine. They’re more in the hard-rock style of clean vocals, but they’re still good. They provide some contrast, especially with this song being slower and more ballad-esque, but I could see someone not being into this song. I enjoy it, but it does kind of halt the momentum of the EP, because it kind of stops it almost. Not quite, but it does bring it down a bit.

That’s kind of a minute issue, as it still rules, and this EP is great from front to back. It’s only 17 minutes, but it’s a barrage of heaviness for that time. It keeps you wanting more and wanting to go back to it time and time again. I’ve been playing it a lot this past week, since I found it, and it’s great. I don’t know if it’s a standalone EP or if it’s a teaser to a new record, and if it’s the latter, that would be awesome. Their last album came out three years ago, so it would be cool to hear another new album from these guys. I don’t know how they escaped my attention, but I’m glad they put this out, so I can properly hear of them, because this is some of the most interesting and unique death metal I’ve heard in a long while, so hopefully these guys stay on that path, because they’re on their way to becoming one of death metal’s buzziest bands, and this EP is a perfect example why.

Phantoms.

When your cancer treatment began, I tried to follow the old parenting advice: “Sleep when the baby sleeps.” Doctors and care team members often disrupted this plan with check-ins and visits, but every so often, I managed to rest.

For months, though, I’d wake up after just 20 minutes with a heavy feeling in my chest—one that grew heavier and heavier until I couldn’t stand it anymore. I’d jolt awake, trying to ease the pressure with deep breathing. It must have been a physical symptom of the weight we’re carrying—an invisible creature sitting on my chest, growing heavier with every passing moment, pushing harder until I could no longer ignore it. Trauma doesn’t always hit all at once; sometimes, it builds quietly, breath by breath.

The most recent time it happened was the day before your amputation. After a long day of pre-op meetings, you and I returned to the hotel for a short rest. We’d been up since 5 a.m. for the trip to Rochester. You were in great spirits all day, and we thought a nap would prepare us for one last night of fun with your two natural legs.

The pressure in my chest woke me first. I looked across the room to the other bed where you slept, and as if you could sense it, you slowly woke up and gave me a gentle smile and wave.

You often do this when it’s just the two of us in a hospital room. I can picture it in different spaces—your regular room on the fourth floor during treatment, the post-op recovery area after surgery, and now, a dimly lit hotel room. That small gesture says everything without words: “We’re good here.” It’s a breath of fresh air that brings me peace every time.

We move through this experience with our heads held high, strong and ready for whatever comes next. But we can’t entirely evade the heavy moments. You’ve had your own along the way, too—though those are yours to share when you’re ready.

Cancer treatment has become part of our routine now. You’ve even adopted the way your oncology nurse described it: “adapting to the new normal.” Still, those moments of pressure in my chest are reminders that we’re living through something both extraordinarily difficult and deeply powerful—challenges that others may never fully comprehend. It has changed us in ways we don’t yet fully understand. But the three of us are learning—perhaps even perfecting—the art of supporting one another through it. Not everyone knows how to meet us where we are right now, but we know exactly how to be here for each other. This connection has become a bond, forged by something none of us wished for but all of us needed.

I used to think this pressure in my chest was just anxiety, a small discomfort compared to the immense pain you’ve endured and the transformation your body has undergone. I was almost embarrassed to acknowledge it out of respect for your suffering. But maybe it’s something else—an energy we’re sharing as we move through the hardest experience of our lives together. Maybe it’s not a weight pressing me down, but proof of how tightly we’re connected, how deeply I feel every breath you take and every hurdle you clear.

There are moments when we’re forced to hold our breath—and others when we finally get to exhale. Even bigger exhales are ahead of us.

Sarcoma: Symptoms, Types, Causes, Risk factors, Treatment & Prevention

Sarcoma is a type of cancer which originates in bone or the soft tissues of the body including fat, cartilage, muscle, blood vessels, fibrous tissue, connective tissue, or supportive tissue. Based on their origin they are categorized as soft tissue or bone sarcomas. There is no exact known cause of sarcoma but there are a few known factors such as bone diseases, exposure to certain chemicals, some genetic syndromes, lymphedema, and previous medical history of radiation or chemotherapy treatment which can increase the risk of developing sarcoma. Treatment of sarcoma usually involves a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Sarcoma is treated by an oncologist.

Sarcoma statistics

As per the 2024 statistics from SFA (Sarcoma Foundation of America) the estimated incidence of sarcoma in USA is 1 percent in adults and 15 to 20 percent in children. An estimated 17,560 cases are diagnosed with sarcoma, and around 7,250 deaths are expected in 2024.

Ewing sarcoma statistics 

According to the American Society of Cancer about 1% of all childhood cancers are Ewing sarcomas and every year about 200 children and teens are diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma. It is slightly more common in males than females develop. The prevalence of this cancer is more common among White people, both non-Hispanic and Hispanic. 

Kaposi sarcoma statistics 

Kaposi sarcoma was rare in the US and only about 2 new cases found for every lakh people each year before the AIDS epidemic. Kaposi sarcoma rate increased more than 20 times peaking at 4.7 cases per lakh people per year in the early 1990s during the AIDS epidemic. 

Sarcoma statistics in India 

According to the data from five Population Based Cancer Registries (PBCR) of Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Bhopal, and Delhi over a period of 30 years (between 1982 to 2011) Ewing sarcoma comprised about 15 percent of all bone malignancies. Soft tissue sarcoma accounts for less than 1 percent of all adult tumors and 15 percent of pediatric tumors.
