[neolithic hottie who's been easing back into the modern dating scene]: so when he said he was a pot caster i thought he was a good artisan with a reliable income. But turns out he just talks to himself all day mostly. People don't even come to listen and he doesn't know shit about ceramics. Sometimes one of his friends is there though.

[One eyed priest-king who's been frozen in the ice for 10 000 years next to a mammoth but is starting to thaw]: girl no wayyyyy. What is slip casting a pot btw. The use of that technique (not to be confused with slipware) purportedly only dates back to the Tang Era (618–917).

emotional neglect didnt even affect me that much. it was the being born inherently without value that did most of the work

Can we have a moment to grieve for all the lives lost. And how little of worth they were to americans who considered them less than a vote. Hamas had agreed to a deal in the very beginning of all this but biden prolonged their unnecessary suffering. Biden and Israel killed the baby who died in the cold, the child looking for food, the father who was getting flour, the men and women running outdoor kitchens for thousands, the teachers, the students who never got to graduate, the couple that never got to have their wedding, to the freedom fighters killing iof shitheads posting their atrocities and without whom the zionists would have never come to a ceasefire deal, glory to all of our martyrs. They rest on our conscience

In the meantime, donate to the sameer project and the fundraisers you see online. Think of how lucky you are to be able to sleep in a bed and have clean water to drink and how so many are without both in this world

We are a donations based aid initiative for Gaza led by Palestinians,

ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

Operation Olive Branch has a spreadsheet dedicated to mutual aid, local distro, community kitchens, etc. in Gaza.

This is a good place to start if seeking to donate to a community resilience action. Just contact the group(s) directly to make sure they are still active. Life in Gaza and Palestine is full of uncertainty.

I like this witch cat finding game, very cute. However I think it would be improved if it was instead about a detective with a severe substance addiction who is supposed to somehow solve a murder
