Hello everyone,

As a brother, there is no pain greater than watching someone you love suffer every single day, knowing you cannot take their pain away.

My brother has already been through surgery, endless hospital visits, and unimaginable hardship. We hoped the worst was behind us, but his journey is far from over. He still needs $993 to continue his treatment, receive the medications he depends on, and complete the medical care that gives him a real chance to recover.

Deadline: 6 Aug

Current Progress: $26,087 / $ 27,000

Donate to Support Tawfik Dream of Higher Education, organized by Tawfik Wal

In the heart of Gaza City, amidst the turmoil of conflict and resilience, Tawfik's… Tawfik Wal needs your support for Support Tawfik Dream o

Every day we delay his treatment is another day of pain, fear, and uncertainty. Seeing him struggle while worrying about how we will afford his care is heartbreaking. We have done everything we can, but we have reached a point where we simply cannot do this alone.

Your support will help cover:

• Ongoing medical treatment

• Essential medications

• Medical supplies

• Follow-up care and rehabilitation

Every donation, no matter how small, brings my brother one step closer to recovery. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing our fundraiser. One share could reach the person who changes everything for my brother.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing with my family during one of the hardest times of our lives. Your kindness gives us hope. ❤️

The last few days have been incredibly difficult. We haven’t received any donations, while my brother’s need for treatment has only become more urgent. 💔

we are still $913 short of the amount needed for him to continue his treatment.

As his sibling, it breaks my heart to watch him suffer while feeling powerless to help. We are running out of time, and every hour matters.

If you are able, please consider donating. Even $5 or $10 can bring us one step closer to giving him the care he desperately needs.

Please keep my brother in your prayers. Thank you to everyone who has stood by our family and shown us kindness during this painful time. 🙏❤️

Please help my brother 💔💔

whats interesting about the take that the word femboy is used derogatorily towards trans women to masculinize them is that its true, but it also applies to trans men. trans men are also labeled as femboys in an effort to feminize us. also, the word butch is also used derogatorily towards trans men in order to feminize us, BUT the word butch is also used derogatorily towards trans women to masculinize them. and all of these terms are used against nonbinary people to force them into a gender binary/expression that they dont want. and all of these terms can be used by all of these groups and the people who use them are valid, but they are also used derogatorily towards trans people who DONT identify those ways in an effort to misgender us. interesting stuff

The Pax Silica initaitive is a joint plan involving the participants such as the UK, US, Israel, the EU to secure rare earth minerals for the silicon supply chain. This plan will involve opening up huge swaths of the island of Luzon to mining and special economic zones, displacing farming communities and threatening the food and water security of thousands.

Primer on the initiative from Philippine social movements:

[everentropy]

To be clear, this is NOT a data center, this is rare earth metal extraction and manufacturing, particularly silicon. I'd actually argue that's worse because a single data center can cause a lot of harm but it can be shut down. Meanwhile, rare earth extraction could cause lasting damage including pollution of water, air and land, and habitat destruction.

The original signatories were Australia, Israel, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the UK and of course the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pax_Silica

Currently the Wikipedia has a controversies page, though if that gets taken out it should still be in the edit history.

as a regular donor to Gaza Soup Kitchen I get their email updates, and they said today that while they've continued to be able to expand, donations are slowing down as Gaza gets less coverage. If you have a few dollars to spare, I encourage you to send them here to continue the amazing work that Hani and his team are doing.

genAI companies are now buying up rare and antique books so they can scan them and use them to train their AI. then they're destroying the books afterward.

AI Companies Are Buying Antique Books, Ingesting Their Contents to Train Models, and Then Destroying Them at Incredible Scale, Even If Almos

AI companies are quietly obtaining rare books, ingesting their contents, and then destroying them -- even if they're exceedingly rare.

they've had to face settlements against stealing from current authors, so they'll just go for the old books now. they're also doing this so they have the only copies of rare books.

they're taking water, power, natural resources for their data centers. they steal. they're book burning, essentially. i'm just so angry, i'm at a loss right now.

[twizzlersandvanillacoke]

From the article:

"One small book seller said that in April, he suddenly went from selling no more than 20 books a week to hundreds, and he’s almost certain that the customers are AI labs, noting the random selection of the books and how they all have ISBNs. He added that his inventory is full with rare and out of print books, meaning that an AI company could be destroying some of the few remaining copies that can be found.

“I personally have mixed feelings about all of this,” the bookseller told 404. “It benefits me financially as well as by clearing out old inventory that is otherwise unlikely to sell. I’ve been well-suited for these sales with inventory from overseas and foreign language books.

From a Google search:

PISBN allows publishers, retailers, and libraries to track and manage books more efficiently. Each ISBN corresponds to one specific edition of a publication, making it essential for smooth global circulation.

[thats-what-sidhe-said]

They're not destroying the books afterwards. They have to cut the pages out of the books to scan them, so the process itself destroys the books.

Hey all! Normally when I post for Mona's community aid initiative, I post about the communities of refugees she is helping. But today I went to Instagram to update you all and saw that she hasn't posted since April, and we hadn't spoken since then either. She hadn't messaged me updates like she normally does. I was very afraid. It turned out she had broken her phone during a displacement, and she hasn't been able to replace it due to the high costs. Mobile phones are a scarce and expensive resource in Ghazzah but they are a lifeline for the families there. And for Mona it is not just a lifeline for her family but also for the refugee community she has dedicated the last few years of her life serving. She cannot connect with her usual network of volunteers or access funds without her phone (she had to contact me through her mother's phone). Despite helping displaced refugees, her and her family are also displaced refugees also living out of a tent, and she cannot currently afford a replacement. Please please please help her get a new one so she can continue doing the life-saving work she has been doing. Chuffed link to support Mona.

Every single dollar counts!!

dear everyone on tumblr who needs to host images elsewhere (e.g. to embed on ao3 etc), please give squidge a go!! it's free, it's nonprofit and it's geared towards fandom so nsfw images won't get deleted!! and please stop using imgur if you can because they blocked the uk rather than acquiesce to the fucking internet safety laws, which I can't really hold against em but it does mean all imgur pictures just show up as big purple boxes now

[blogquantumreality]

Squidge! Holy blast from the past, Batman. The last time I remember even looking at that site was... eons ago.

( Oh, what was I reading? The Quartz Key. Yes, it's m/m. )

[beatrice-otter]

Not only is Squidge still around, it's expanded and grown! It is still run by the same guy, though now it's a nonprofit with a board and everything, and while they maintain all the old squidge sites as static archives, they have a new multifandom archive using the AO3 code at squidgeworld.org. They also host podfics and fanart.

For those younguns in the crowd, back in the day erotic fanworks--especially slash--was not welcome very many places. Walter was willing to host it, and has been a haven for NSFW fanworks since 1994. The various archives and so on hosted at squidge.org were never very large, compared to lots of other archives, but they were a necessary part of the fannish ecosystem, and I'm really glad that there is now a structure in place to keep the whole system running beyond just "Walter's a great guy willing to donate lots of time and money." Walter is a great guy! but like. it's good to have other people to help out and keep things going in the long run.

[prof-grace-aspen]

I just made an account a week or two ago because I needed a place to host my fan art to upload it to Ao3. I found it because I looked at where a different artist on Ao3 was hosting their work, and it was squidge!!

Hi, my mother is still in the ICU and we've received $0 in donations since yesterday. We urgently need $465 for her medications; please donate $1 or $5 now or share my post immediately to help save her

Hey all! Mai's family needs urgent help keeping her mother alive after her surgery. She's in the ICU receiving life-saving care but this care comes at a cost. The medical system in Ghazzah has collapsed and the cost of care has skyrocketed to prices that cannot normally be afforded in the strip without outside help. Please if you can, send help to Mai's family.

i support universal free healthcare for one simple reason: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness you should quit your job. quitting your job is the correct response to terminal illness. but you can’t do that if your healthcare is tied to your job

[hollowboobtheory]

listen if somebody knows that they will be dead in a years time, and you are forcing them to continue to come into work, that’s fucked up. terminally ill people should be able to quit their jobs and live their last few months to the fullest. i don’t get how that’s a controversial opinion
