i feel so incredibly lucky to call mohammed ayesh my friend. i've only known him for a handful of months but my life is better for having him in it. he is the most compassionate and determined person i know, and the strength of his character is rivaled only by the generosity of his heart. mohammed has been working incredibly hard and risking his health and safety to verify campaigns on the ground in gaza for quite a while now. i cannot overstate how much he has done and continues to do for others. i am humbly asking you to consider donating to his family's campaign to help them raise the funds they need to rebuild their lives in the face of the devastation israel has wrought. they are close to their goal- there is less than £9,000 until their campaign is complete!
mohammed runs the blog @gaza-evacuation-funds and has been vetting campaigns for el-shab-hussein and nabulsi for many months. please consider showing your appreciation for his hard work and dedication to his people by sharing this post and donating what you can! let's work together to help mohammed and his family!
Hi my name is Shelley and I am fundraising on behalf of Mohammed and his family
here is their … Shelley Gordon needs your support for He
mohammed is so close to being able to complete his campaign! there's only a little over £8,000 left- let's work together to make sure he reaches his goal quickly. please share this and please consider donating- every bit of help is invaluable.
booktube bad but i love those "i read x so you don't have to" videos people who take psychic damage only to make a video dragging colleen hoover or whomever are so brave and selfless and i think we should acknowledge them as the heroes that they are
The bombing has stopped and the bloodshed has finally ended, but there is still a great fear of breaching the ceasefire and returning to killing, bombing and displacement. So please, if you can donate even a little to get us out of here alive, do not hesitate and donate.
one problem with writing in that really defensive internet-aimed style where you try to preemptively rebut any objections and clear up all possible bad faith readings is if you want to talk about any topic past a beginner level you either have to write a 20k word thesis every single time or you're just hosed. imo this phenomenon accounts for a sizeable portion of the truly useless and boring writing posted online like some of those people probably do actually know more than that. but when you know you are going to immediately have 10 assholes sealioning you, you write ⬆️ like that very understandably
if you moralize to people in the global south about piracy youre going to hell btw. no atonement no take backsies. guaranteed hell forever permanently.
Look for all my fellow ass backwards Americans and the European as well, let me tell you a story.
A few years ago me and a Brazilian friend (they/them) had a joke that I owed them a sandwich because they burned one while in a VC with me.
A year later I sent $20 USD to them for the bit, about what I paid for my lunch at Subway at the time (before tips).
They texted me worried about how much money I sent them and if I was sure. Because with the exchange rate at the time, that was almost 100 BRL. I had assumed 1 BRL simply bought less (in local goods), turns out the pricing is, well its close enough that it is about 100 in spending power equivalent.
It is my understanding (though I could CERTAINLY be wrong) that Brazil is one of the nations in the Global South that is doing better relatively, and also that the exchange rate has worsened for BRL since.
However, many game devs simply set the price in USD and then forces everyone to pay that price. You know how some books have a slightly higher price listed in CAD if its printed on? Imagine if instead of like, 20 USD 22 CAD that book cost 100-120 CAD. That would be absurd right?
If you can't see the problem with condemning piracy in the Global South after that explanation, then I suppose you're deserving of whatever shit lands in your lap next.
Also, just for the record, we get you a lot more stuff than you realize. A lot of whistleblowers/ leaks/media archiving is done in the global South/spreads from there. It's a genuine underground and public industry that a lot of us grew up learning to do and it matters. Because yea, the system is designed to make media completely impossible to afford
i'm brazilian and i can confirm this is entirely correct. if you gave me like say, 200 USD, that would be enough for me to pay for my rent and groceries and meds and then some, it's insane. but it also goes the other way around, like with the game pricing example. since so many products we get here are imported, a lot of especially electronics are incredibly expensive. imagine if you wanted a nintendo switch, but it costed 2000 dollars and also each game is like 300. thats just how it is here. its pretty dire
"That was beneath me" is such a delightfully funny way to apologise. Like yeah I did something shitty that I regret doing, and I'm ready to admit to both of those points, but you're shitting squirrels if you think I'm going to get off my moral high horse to do that.
