An Apology

I feel I probably need to say here that I regret I cannot answer every person sending me fundraising requests, I literally get hundreds of them every week on multiple platforms and I spend hours a day boosting them and giving when I am able but my finances are very limited at the moment due to current unemployment after a serious injury. I am doing what I can to improve my situation but things are very difficult. Of course I will never know pain, fear, anxiety, hunger and sickness like the beautiful people of Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Yemen, West Papua and Tigray, I know there's a lot more I and every other person in Western countries need to be doing, I know what we have done so far is not enough. I promise I am trying to do better and will continue to try to do better, you are never far from my thoughts and I pray and cry for you daily. I *am* going without food and meds so I can donate, I *am* fighting my own mental health issues and feelings of hopelessness and despair over the sheer evil we're seeing every day from Isr@el and the US, I *am* trying to persevere through the endless shadow bans and censorship on social media platforms and to prioritize Palestinian liberation over everything else including foreign interference in my own country's affairs. I'm not saying this to defend myself - I know I and every other Westerner need to do a whole lot more. I don't want to centre myself in this because my feelings ultimately aren't important here, I'm not the one being bombed, starved, shot, deprived of medicine, bulldozed, erased, forced into displacement camps in horrendous weather. No one has ever arrested me for what I wear or where I live, for my religion or ethnicity, no one has killed my loved ones or dragged me or anyone I care about off to a torture prison or flattened the city I live in. The litany of crimes by the murderous apartheid regime is too long to put in one post. I say all this because I am sorry that I have not done more, that I continue to struggle to keep up with it all, that I can't help more people directly. You are right to be disappointed and angry, I would be too. I don't ask for your forgiveness, you owe us nothing - not gentle words or a polite tone, not understanding or patience. WE owe YOU. Because what is the point of anything if this is allowed to continue? To everyone else, thank you for your efforts. We all need to do better, to do more... some of you are doing a lot more than me and I know you're tired. Kia kaha (stay strong), look after yourselves and don't stop until Palestine is free. Arohanui, Dan

If I die, remember that I begged you and asked you for a small donation or to share my post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support me with a single word or a small donation and ignores me.

As you can see, Israel continues to commit war crimes and genocide by preventing access to water, medicine, food, and fuel, while international and medical organizations and bodies insist on the necessity of providing these necessities, which Israel continues to deny.

the last time there was a big war without vaccines more people died from the flu than from the war. until extremely recently more people died from disease than from violence during every war, ever, for the whole of human history. ending vaccine mandates for soldiers really is shoving a live grenade down your pants to own the libs. very few policies could theoretically kill more US soldiers than this one

I want you to stop whatever you're doing right now. Stop it. This is important. I want to ask you something. Do you want palestinians to die? I assume, I hope you do not. If so, you must help. You have to help, because words, reblogs, likes, are worth very little to them. You cannot help them without taking actual, material action. Israel wants to kill Palestinans, and they will if they are not stopped, you must fight this.

Please, everyone, I'm trying to save my father. We need anything to help him survive. Here in Gaza, the most serious problems we face are severe malnutrition and widespread disease. He's getting weaker every day, and we have nothing to help him with. There's no proper food, no medicine, nothing. Now you can help him survive. Even the simplest support could make a difference. It might be the only reason he's still alive. Please donate.

posting on the off chance that i'm secretly followed by an undercover celebrity or a streamer or something like that. i'm really tired of my friends' survival being based on whether we can make a post that's catchy enough or if we're charismatic enough and post at an opportune enough moment. i don't have that skill set. if you do, i am begging you to use it to raise funds for amal so she can feed her children this ramadan. more on her vetting info here. please please please please please

[autisticmudkip]

Gaza toddler Ayla still suffering from viral gastroenteritis💔

As a consequence of 1) harsh and cramped living conditions imposed by the occupation, 2) being unable to afford treating the virus in a timely manner, and 3) her already weakened immune system, Ayla has once again contracted the same virus she had previously suffered. Her immune system is still compromised due to malnutrition, so she needs antiviral, antipyretic, and immune support treatments and supplies, and nutrition therapy in order to completely treat the virus and prevent its return. She has a very high fever, is unable to eat, and is suffering from muscle pain. Her symptoms are very painful and her mother is desperate to get her the treatment she needs!

In April 2024, my friend's house was bombed while he was inside. When he woke in the hospital he learned doctors didn't have the resources to remove all the shrapnel from his body. Newly homeless, his family began a fundraiser to raise money for medical evacuation so he could receive this surgery. That was two years ago. The shrapnel is still embedded in his body, causing him chronic pain.

last night the AI spell check on powerpoint kept giving me a red squiggle under "to" in a sentence that was like "i will have to send this to the dry cleaner" telling me that i should switch it to say "also" or "in addition" when that's not even remotely correct like it wanted me to type "i will have to send this also the dry cleaner" (incoherent) & when i tried to use adobe lightroom for the first time for the same assignment the AI kept forcing a mask on a small section of the photo so all my edits would only change this tiny part of the image and nothing i did could get it to stop generating the mask i had to just use a different program. the fact that this shit isn't even functional is so annoying like they force it into software that was otherwise passable and it doesn't even work it actually makes the program harder to use it's incredibly embarrassing

A message from martyred journalist Amal Khalil... here is a translated transcript of her message: "We have now completed a full year covering the Israeli aggression on South Lebanon. For an entire year, I have been in the field, day after day, as a correspondent for Al-Akhbar newspaper. This year has been heavy... it has changed us, matured us. It taught us to hold even tighter to our principles, to our beliefs, to the choice of resistance, and to the conviction that resistance alone protects the land, that it alone stands firm against the Israeli enemy, nothing else does. To everyone who advised me to reduce my movement along the southern border, especially after the Israeli threats I received, my answer was this: our Hussaini faith and our southern, revolutionary upbringing have always taught us to say, "If only we had been with you." And the moment came for me to be with the people of the South the people of truth, who embody the cause of Karbala, who live its teachings. They stand in the face of a tyrant who kills, and in the face of oppression they remain steadfast, speaking the truth. Everything happening to the people of the South is simply because they dare to say "no." [*call for prayers*: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah… I bear witness that there is no god but Allah."] My alignment with the people of the South, my presence among them since the July 2006 war, has always been the right choice. They have always lived up to that faith placed in them. And they will remain so, even after loss. They will grow stronger, more steadfast, and more committed to this unwavering compass, toward truth, and toward Palestine." ~Martyred Journalist Amal Khalil.

It’s a different location every time you see that damn same cave in almost every Xena episode. And it’s fine.

We didn't just like it. We ate that shit up like we were starving. We craved that shit like it was crack. We bought DVDs of that shit so we could pretend that forest was different planets again and again and again.

And we love doing so.

I would happily give up all the snazzy special effects and unique locations for a few more episodes a season where characters can just exist doing low stakes, mundane stuff, having comic misadventures and dream sequence/nightmare episodes
