I swear I didn't want to write these words out of shame and embarrassment, but what happened to us in the Gaza Stripâthe destruction, the genocide, the starvation of the peopleâis beyond imagination. My older brother, who was our provider, was killed by a treacherous bullet to the head. He was our only support, the one who provided us with food, and now we go to bed hungry, ravaged by the hunger that has consumed our bodies.
A few months later, my mother died from cancer that ravaged her body. We couldn't find her any treatment, medicine, food, or clean water until she passed away from the intense pain and hunger.
Now it's just me, my brother, and my father. We can't find the food and medicine I need because I suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which causes me to have difficulty breathing and choke in the middle of the night. Please donate; we need $450 to buy the necessary medication. I don't want what happened to my mother to happen to me. Please donate. đđđ

Amane is a character I have very mixed opinions on, because I went through something similar(not the same) when I was younger and it led to a lot of damage.
Tw for abuse, violence and mentions of self-harm.
Since I was young, my mother would lose control of her emotions when she got angry and chase me around the house. When she caught me, she would hit me with her fists, though she also hit me with an umbrella once. She did not do it put of religiousity, though. She is...well, I dont want to say secular, but she raised me very lax on that front and didn't really educate me on my religion all that much(I'm Muslim). She was mostly violent towards me for things like staying up late and not showering(I used to have really bad hygiene). She did not manage to hit me all the time. Sometimes, I would run into my room and barricade the door with a chair and be trapped there for hours.
When I was in middle school, she got cancer. She already had another chronic illness(diabetes), and it was too much for her mentally. She developed depression and anxiety. I was so horrible to her during that time. I would make fun of her and say she was probably going to die. One day, when she tried to hit me again, I tried to hit her back, but my older sister stopped me. I still feel enormous guilt about it and think about it all the time. I have repented and tried to change my ways, but I also have severe anger issues and my emotions are out of control. I just take it out on myself, instead. I'm NOT saying that is better btw. Self-harm is dangerous, after all and I've had some ER visits due to it. I ultimately see the worst qualities of my mother in me.
So, when I look at Amane's character on the surface level, I cannot forgive her, because I cannot forgive myself. On the other hand, I dont want to vote her guilty, because she showed signs of changing her ways at the end of her t3 vd and voting guilty will most likely kill her and I really dont like vigilantism. Fuuta said that Es was doing the same thing as the prisoners and the prisoners are murderers, after all. There is also the possibility that the prisoners will killed anyway since MILGRAM is an experiment with the roles of the experimenter and the experimented-on swapped(it's a rabbit experimenting on humans instead of the other way around) and research animals, in real life, are usually killed after the experiments are done to do necropsies on their carcasses. BUT maybe Es will try to save them! Or or maybe Torch will come save them! Idk at this point, but I kinda want our votes to be turned null at the end of the series.
Yes, this is the bitter truth that the world's media are trying to hide from you: Gaza is a genocide. Gaza has been annihilated, unfortunately. The world has witnessed a genocide that was filmed, documented, and broadcast live in full view of everyone.

My opinions:
Funny story about novelgram: I first found out about it when the manga adaptation first became a thing, but wasnt interested that much. Then, someone on Twitter spoiled half the plot and I became VERY interested by the idea of everyone being connected. I was looking forward to raw chapters of the manga and their translations and was obsessed with novelgram as a whole. I projected on Nervous so hard, because the manga's release coincided with the worst year of my life. I was also interested in Gentle. He's like a Greek tragedy to me.
as i peeked around leaves and found this Charaxes jasius eating its own molt, it immediately stopped and stood there like this. knowing the average activity level of this species though, i'm unsure whether it looked this embarrassed because of the fact that its meal sounds kinda gross when you're not a caterpillar or the fact that it was seen moving and performing actions
Are there any academic papers or books that compare the similarities between the lore of Warrior Cats to cultures of various Native American tribes? I have read a lot of these books when I was in high school(I know I was a bit old for them by that age lol) and when I started university, I realized how similar they are to Native American tribes. Keep in mind that Im not a Native American(or an American at all haha), so my observations are based on cursory research.
The cats are divided into clans like the Native American clans, though unlike Native American clans, the cats are encouraged to find mates within their own clans. Based on my research, most Native American tribes forbid in-clan marriages. I remember that there was some inbreeding in the books, like Ferncloud being Dustpelt's niece. Yuck. I'm surprised this was in a children's book series tbh.
You could argue that the cats of forest/lake territories are a single nation and Warrior clans are distantly related extended family units(with some outsiders mixed in). Like Native American tribes, the while extended family looks after the children and they respect their elders a lot. These qualities are found in a lot of other cultures though. Their ancestors were even named after animals like Lionclan, Leopardclan, and Tigerclan.(I think these were later retconned but Im not sure)
And then we have the medicine cats. They are very obviously based on medicine men. They have the same purpose of healing illness/wounds and providing religious guidance. This one's so on the nose, tbh.
Thinking of it, it's a bit weird that the Warrior Cats lore has so many similarities to Native American tribes, since Vicky Holmes said the the forest territory was based on an area in England.
I think the plan was to keep the area based on England, but they later decided they wanted to add North American animals like mountain lions, raccoons, and wolves.(I know wolves exist in other regions too, but they dont exist in the UK) I wonder if one day they will add alligators and opossums...
Also, what do Native Americans and Native Canadians think of the series? Warrior Cats is a popular franchise, so I think it would be known by them.
A New Israeli Policy Cuts Off Humanitarian Aid In Gaza
After Israel began expunging humanitarian organizations in Gaza for failing to comply with new rules, a Doctors Without Borders team was left scrambling to establish a permanent clinic.

How a New Israeli Policy Cuts Off Humanitarian Aid in Gaza
Months into the ceasefire, Israeli officials barred thirty-seven international N.G.O.s. A Doctors Without Borders clinic is carrying on without antibiotics, or even chairs for patients.
The team first spent several days at Gazaâs sole remaining hospital focussed on pediatricsâAl-Rantisi, in Gaza City, which was barely operational after Israeli air strikes. The roof had collapsed in places. Doctors were seeing patients in a waiting room with only a few cots. âIt was very cold, even inside the buildings,â Hulse told me. When a storm blew through, she mistook thunderclaps for explosions. She learned that parents sometimes arrived with the bodies of infants who seemed to have died of hypothermia. Her team quickly put together a plan to help coördinate repairs, secure new electrical generators, implement a triage system, and organize trainings for staff. âWe were just trying to get it functional again,â she said.
Next, Hulse travelled to Jabalia, in the northern reaches of the Gaza Strip, where the situation was even worse. She was driven through rutted streets in which not a single building remained intact. The area had previously been served by several health-care facilities, including a primary-care centerânow destroyedâand the Indonesian Hospital, which I visited during a temporary ceasefire, in early 2025. But this past October, as part of another ceasefire agreement brokered by the Trump Administration, Israeli forces effectively divided Gaza in two, pushing the population toward the sea. Nearly all of the surviving health-care facilities in the northernmost area fell on the wrong side of the partition. âNo one can reach them now,â Hulse said. To get proper medical care, she went on, an injured person would have to make it to a crossroads and flag down a donkey cart to Gaza City, which could take hours. As a stopgap, the M.S.F. team and Gazaâs health ministry had decided to open a temporary clinic in the area.
Hulse and her colleagues spent several days searching for a suitable location. At one point, she saw a group of children playing on what had once been the roof of a building. They climbed into a cardboard box and slid down the sloped surface as though they were sledding. âThere was nothing, absolutely nothing,â she told me. âEven finding a flat piece of ground that wasnât covered in rubble was difficult.â Still, within a few weeks, they picked a spot, dug latrines, installed generators and water tanks, and erected tents. The clinic was close to the partition, where Israeli soldiers often fired their weapons. The team piled sandbags around the perimeter for protection.
The temporary clinic opened after Christmas, and soon they were seeing up to four hundred patients a day. The staff did their best to treat all sorts of conditions: infections, heart attacks, diarrhea, gunshot wounds, shrapnel injuries. âIt was a tiny clinic amid the rubble, and we didnât always have the medications we needed,â Hulse said. âBut people were still so grateful for it.â Meanwhile, about a kilometre away, workers began clearing debris from the old site of the primary-care center, making room for a permanent replacement.
Then, just before New Yearâs, the Israeli government released a statement. It had previously instructed all international humanitarian organizations that operated in Gaza to submit detailed information to maintain their registration, including financial statements, the identities of all donors, and a full list of employees, with passport numbers, dates of birth, and, for Palestinians, the names of spouses and children. Organizations that refused would be expelled. âWe were briefed on the issue,â Hulse said. âIt was really hard to believe it was actually happening.â Thirty-seven organizationsâincluding M.S.F., the International Rescue Committee, the Norwegian Refugee Council (N.R.C.), and Action Against Hungerâreceived notice that they had failed to comply and would no longer be allowed in Gaza, the West Bank, or East Jerusalem. They were given sixty days to cease operations and withdraw all international staff.
Hulseâs rotation was due to end in January, just before her fortieth birthday. Sheâd originally planned to hand off the Jabalia project to a new team. âBut, after the statement came out, everybody was denied access,â she said. âWe couldnât get any new people or supplies in.â Hulseâs team decided to stay for as long as they could. They would have to race to finish the permanent clinic in time. In a single evening, she and a colleague hurriedly drew up a design. Hulse took the plan to the health ministry, which approved it. âWe needed to at least get it started before we left,â she told me. She remembers thinking, I hope this works.
Israel seized control of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank during the Six-Day War, in 1967. After that, Israelâs Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs took responsibility for registering non-governmental organizations (N.G.O.s) and endorsing visas for aid workers. This system reportedly began to break down in recent years, when the ministry stopped issuing new registrations. On October 7, 2023, Hamas led a wave of attacks on Israel, killing about twelve hundred people. After that, the ministry stopped endorsing visas, preventing many humanitarian workers from entering Gaza and the West Bank. In October, 2024, Yotam Ben-Hillel, an Israeli human-rights lawyer, petitioned Israelâs Supreme Court on behalf of a coalition of international aid groups in an effort to force the Israeli government to address the situation. In December, Israel announced that it planned to overhaul the registration process and transfer it to a different agency: the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism. It released its requirements for registration in March, 2025.
The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, a military unit that enforces Israeli policies in Gaza, defended the new restrictions on N.G.O.s as necessary to insure Israelâs security. âIsrael is committed to allowing and facilitating the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip,â COGAT told The New Yorker in a statement. It invoked a long-standing allegation that many humanitarian groups are compromised by militants. In 2021, Israel began designating Palestinian civil-society groups as terrorist organizations; United Nations human-rights experts said that the charge lacked âconcrete and credible evidence.â In 2024, Israel barred UNRWA, a sprawling U.N. agency with tens of thousands of employees who served millions of Palestinians, from working in Gaza and the West Bank, asserting that fourteen hundred of the agencyâs employees in Gaza were members of terrorist organizations, and that at least nineteen had participated in the attacks on October 7th. An internal U.N. investigation found evidence that nine employees âmay have been involvedâ in the attacks, and their contracts with the agency were terminated.
That same year, an Israeli air strike near a medical clinic killed a Palestinian physiotherapist employed by M.S.F. The Israeli military said that he was an operative with Palestinian Islamic Jihad (P.I.J.), a militant group aligned with Hamas; M.S.F. released a statement condemning the targeting of a health-care worker and noting that hundreds of health-care workers, including six M.S.F. employees, had been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the conflict. P.I.J. eventually confirmed that the physiotherapist had been one of its commanders. âWe would never knowingly employ people engaging in military activity,â M.S.F. said in a subsequent statement. âAny employee who engages in military activity would pose a danger to our staff and patients.â
Amichai Chikli, the right-wing Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, has used such cases to argue that âmuch of the activity of so-called humanitarian organizations serves as a cover for hostile and sometimes violent actions.â When M.S.F. ultimately refused to share a list of its employees, he said, âWe are aware that MSF employs individuals who are active in terrorist organizations, which is why it hides its employee lists.â (He also said that Rahma Worldwide, an organization that I volunteered for in Gaza, was going to be designated a âterrorist consortium.â)
Humanitarian organizations have sharply challenged these claims. Alan Moseley, a country director for the Danish Refugee Council (D.R.C.), another barred N.G.O., said that organizations like theirs have experience insuring that staff members remain neutral. âWe work in conflict zones around the world where itâs very common to be faced with armed groups present,â Moseley told me. âOf course we donât want Hamas fighters on our staff.â Mohammed Abu Mughaiseeb, a physician and an M.S.F. medical adviser, told me that the organization has employed thousands of people in Gaza, and that no one else has been proved to have participated in military activity. All M.S.F. staff go through a comprehensive vetting process, he added. By limiting humanitarian access to Gaza, Abu Mughaiseeb said, Israel was âpunishing the population, not Hamas.â
Many N.G.O.s have raised concerns that lists of their employees could be used to target their Palestinian staffers. More than five hundred aid workers, including fifteen M.S.F. employees, have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. (The Israeli military has said that it does not target medical personnel.) Filipe Ribeiro, a head of mission for the organization, told me that M.S.F. asked for safety assurances from a committee headed by the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs. âWe asked repeatedly, âWhat will you do with this list? How can we be sure it wonât be used to harm our staff?â â he told me. âWe never received an answer.â (When approached for comment, the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs said that it would not be able to meet The New Yorkerâs deadline.) Shaina Low, a communication adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council, said that a strict E.U. data-privacy law barred organizations from sharing employee information. âWeâve gotten opinions from authorities in the E.U.,â she told me. âThey have said, yes, handing over these employee lists could violate the law.â
Not long after N.G.O.s received notice that they would be expelled from Gaza, the U.N. released a statement urging Israel to reconsider. âHumanitarian access is not optional, conditional or political,â it said. âIt is a legal obligation under international humanitarian law.â Eighteen Israeli N.G.O.s described the new registration framework as a âweaponization of bureaucracy.â In early January, fifty-three international humanitarian groups called on Israel to halt the expulsion process, noting that N.G.O.s run or support sixty per cent of all field hospitals in Gaza and furnish the majority of shelter aid. Ribeiro told me that M.S.F. is one of the only organizations providing Gazans with orthopedic surgery, reconstructive surgery, and burn care. âItâs another catastrophe for the people of Gaza,â Mughaiseeb said. Finally, in February, Ben-Hillel filed a suit in Israelâs Supreme Court on behalf of numerous humanitarian organizations, including M.S.F., the D.R.C., and the N.R.C. He cited an opinion by the International Court of Justice asserting that, under the Geneva Conventions, Israel had an unconditional obligation to facilitate the ârapid and unimpededâ delivery of aid, security concerns notwithstanding. He also told the court that, under the Oslo Accords of 1993, the Palestinian Authorityânot Israelâhad jurisdiction over these N.G.O.s. The court recommended that the petition be dismissed, and that the organizations be given one month to submit the employee lists. A final decision is pending.
During Hulseâs last days in Gaza, she and her team hurried to complete as much of the Jabalia clinic as they could. Israel prohibits many construction materials from entering Gaza, so the structure was created by welding sheets of metal together and painting them white. âItâs basically a fancy shipping container,â Hulse said. It would have sinks, toilets, and electricity, with room for wound care, pediatrics, womenâs health, and a small E.R. âIt looked like a clean, bright island in the middle of the rubble,â Hulse told me.
Before the teamâs departure, the staff gathered for a final walk-through. âEveryone was so excited about it,â Hulse said. The head pharmacist, a local health-ministry employee, talked enthusiastically about how she would arrange the pharmacy. Then she pointed out a crumpled structure next to the clinic; it had once been her familyâs home. Hulse felt both hopeful and uncertain. âWe had no idea if we would still be able to get them the medications and supplies they need,â she told me. Patients were concerned too, and some asked Hulse what would happen to the new clinic after her team left. âWe didnât really have answers for them,â she said.
The clinic finally opened in April, and it now treats up to five hundred patients daily. In a cell-phone video of the opening, the space was thronged with people. M.S.F. intends to provide support from afar, but Raed Abu Warda, a doctor who directs the clinic, told me that the expulsion of the international team has put the clinic under enormous strain. âThey facilitated everything,â he told me. Hulse and her colleagues had provided a cache of medications, but the clinic no longer had any antibiotics. It didnât even have chairs for patients.
After Hulseâs rotation in Gaza ended, she boarded a bus with about thirty other international M.S.F. staffers. As they drove toward the border crossing, everyone sat in silence. At their next stop, in Amman, the team had one day offâHulseâs first in four months. Then they held a debrief meeting to discuss their experiences. In the middle of the session, they heard explosions. Iranian missiles, a response to Israeli and American attacks, were being intercepted overhead. It was the twenty-eighth of February, and the next war had just begun. âŠ
An earlier version of this article misspelled Filipe Ribeiroâs first name.
I had a dream about a significantly more interesting version of Animal Jam where you played as a teenager who realized they could turn into an animal(which the player could choose), could battle a LOT of NPCs, some of which were humans and the backstory was that the protagonist's family had moved to the big city, because the protagonist was chronically ill and they wanted to monitor them closely. Also, the protagonist wore pill-patterned pajamas lol.
Does anyone have media recommendations like that pleaseee I want it so bad???
