Karim's recovery is thanks to you

Hey everyone!

Karim has continued to recover thanks to your continued support. It wasn't that long ago that he was bedbound, but his condition is much improved. He's up and on his feet now! Those of you who have been following his journey of recovery know how dangerously close he came to not making it after being shot in the throat by the IDF and suffering from malnutrition due to the lack of food in Gaza.

That said, he's still enduring tough conditions and pushing his body beyond what he should. Here is a message from his sister, my friend Lina:

"I want to thank everyone here. Karim's situation has improved, as you've seen, and that's thanks to all of your support. He wouldn't have been able to get this far without your help. He's now forced to do things that are supposedly wrong for him, but he has to because life here always requires effort, and he's still unable to work to earn money. But he's always trying, and once again, thank you all."

Please continue to support Lina and her family. Beyond just Karim, she also has two children to care for and life in Gaza is difficult. Funds will be spent on food, medicine, childcare supplies, and other necessities.

seeing news about the fallout remaster announcement feels like cruel irony to me

microsoft games are a bds boycott target, and because both bethesda + obsidian are owned by microsoft, this includes the games published by them.

microsoft is gonna further profit from a new virtual playground of ~post-apocalyptic bombed out towns in the desert~ while contributing to creating bombed out apocalyptic conditions in gazan towns, by collaborating with israel on so many fronts that bds calls microsoft the most complicit company in palestinian genocide.

and nostalgia-baited fans will still buy it bc playing pretend in a virtual world thats a knockoff of what real life people are currently facing – a virtual world funded by that very suffering of those real life people – is more important to them than simply playing a different game

anyway, to make this rant productive – if you have the means to send donations to palestine, heres some community initiatives:

Mona’s community aid initiative – verified by el-shab-hussein

The Sameer Project – has a british partner org, so UK folks can donate with gift aid here with no transfer fees

Revive Gaza Farmlands – has a canadian partner org, so canadians can donate via direct bank transfers with no transfer fee

Crips for eSims for Gaza – canda-based, so canadian e-transfers saves on transaction fees

Did you see the flower that bloomed nowhere has a vn now? It might get new people into it, and it's nice to have official visuals for characters

yes yes! i am very tapped in to the flower news, i'm a patron and i keep tabs on the discord. have been looking forward to the vn for quite awhile. I was planning to make a post about it once i'd played myself and could take some choice screenshots, but a couple of different people have asked me about it already so i should probably at least acknowledge it now

The VN demo is COMPLETELY FREE and you can get it right over here on itch!

the backgrounds and sprites look so nice, the ui is super cool, i'm hearing good things about the music but of course I have yet to hear it myself. it has never been a better time to go meet my dear friends ran of hoa-trinh and utsushikome of fusai

#WWHAT! WHAT!WHAT #okay. okay i still have to read it first and then the VN. WOW. a VN

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it.
