What we are witnessing today is the result of millions of dollars being poured into media networks, news outlets, and social media platforms after the Israeli government injected hundreds of millions of dollars to whitewash their image and spread the notion that Gaza is prosperous and affluent. This is what we see today: the world has forgotten Gaza, forgotten Palestine, and trivialized the humanitarian crisis. These are young children who know nothing of life; their only crime is being born in Gaza. Bring Gaza back to the forefront of the media. Let in water, treatment , and food, and get us out of here so we can resume our lives.
Gaza remains under siege and subjected to daily attacks with all types of weapons. Every day, at least five Palestinians are killed as a result of these unjustified attacks by the Israeli army, which violate international law in full view of the world. Gaza is being annihilated and continues to be annihilated daily, yet no one lifts a finger. Children, the elderly, the young, and the elderly are dying, and their rights are being violated indiscriminately in Gaza.
My niece, Masa, is only 10 days old today. She should be breastfeeding, but she's currently in the hospital receiving injections to treat her breast infections. The reason is that the occupation prevents the entry of essential supplies for pregnant women, such as nutritional supplements and the rest they need. A tiny baby, only 10 days old, is lying in the hospital right now. What injustice is this? Please help us. Give what you can to save this baby and all of us. Please donate now.
I beg you, your donations are our only remaining hope for survival. Your donation can save the lives of a family of eight. Please donate now, please.
This child is suffering greatly. Please help Nader and his family and donate to save them all. Your donation can save a life. Please donate.
Please, I beg you, donate whatever you can. We have no hope but you. Please donate now; you are our last hope to save my father and my niece. Please donate.

idk how to explain it but im never truly comfortable with the way people insinuate that all older folks are inherently bigoted. it always feels like it kind of hand-waves away personal responsibility like ohhhh grandpa cant help homophobic, hes old. well ive met plenty of older folks who are normal about gay people. i think grandpa could be better. i think we should hold grandpa to higher standards.
Die temu ad die
Hmm. Accidentally looks like latin.
It accidentally is latin
Accidental latin is my new favourite thing.
Found this in the margins of a medieval manuscript.
This is a very charming illustration and I do approve of Accidental Latin, but unfortunately, that is not what this (Fake) Accidental Latin actually says. Google Translate seems to think "temu" is identical to "timor" (infinitive, "to fear"), which would then be conjugated in first-person singular as "timeo" ("I fear"). "Temu" is not a word in Latin. So that is a very weird leap on Google Translate's part to turn gibberish into... something vaguely etymologically similar sounding? Hmm.
Next, "die" does mean "day," though nominative singular is "dies," i.e. "dies irae." It could be conjugated "die" if it was in ablative or locative case, but "die ad die" would mean something more like "day to day." "Ad" is in a "to" direction and "ab" is from, i.e. "ab urbis," and ablative case is used to indicate the movement of a thing. In short, "by" is not really a way to translate "ad"; we might want "per" here? (Through, by means of, etc.)
Not to mention, it would be weird to put one "die" at the start and another at the end The verb also usually goes at the end in Latin sentences, just for that extra bit of fun. So yes, in short, this is not actually Latin, and Google Translate is very bad at Latin in particular. Nonetheless, still charming.
@theshitpostcalligrapher
Agree, @qqueenofhades, except on the matter of breaking “die ad die” apart. It’s a common structure in poetic and oratorical Latin to jam one phrase in the middle of another. I can’t think of an example exactly parallel to this construction, but I could believe a Roman poet would write it!
Ah, that is true. My Latin is of the reading-medieval-documents (particularly charters and/or chronicles) variety, where the sentence and usage structures are often more formulaic and there is less poetic license to move words around. There is obviously far less fixity for word order in Latin, since the conjugations explain how they grammatically relate to each other rather than placement in the sentence. (Coincidentally, this is why I used to say that the best feeling in the world was walking past a Latin classroom and not having to go inside it. Ahem.)
So yes: true that poetical Latin might be more at liberty to split the "die"-s up that far, though "timeo" (verb) is still more likely in most cases to go at the end, which would place them together anyway ("die ad die timeo," "day to day I fear" if translated in strict word order, which would make sense to an English speaker and sound more poetic anyway). Keep in mind, however, that my Latin is a) fairly rusty and b) mostly used for said formulaic legal document reading rather than freeform verse, so don't super-hard quote me on this.
I saw that ablative “die” and that final -u on “temu” and thought of the ablative supine (as in “mirabile dictu”) but as you observe, there isn’t a verb that “temu” could be, and then also, the ablative supine requires an adjective, as far as I know.
But perhaps “temu” is a hapax legomenon (in which case we would need the rest of the text to gloss it) or a scribal error for temeratu, from temero, “I defile or disgrace”. In that case, and in true Tumblr form, I might translate it as “daily I disgrace, in the manner of the day”, with some errors attributable to the scribe.
....oh my god. You might be a genius. Because what else does Tumblr do but daily disgrace [itself, oneself, and/or numerous others] in the manner of the day, and make numerous scribal errors.
how dare you say we error on the scribes
this is what happens when you buy your latin on temu
There's always a moment of intense cultural whiplash whenever I realize I'm talking to someone who thinks "legal" and "illegal" are meaningful categories and ascribes innate goodness to following the law. It's like meeting a space alien.
