Today is the 14th of the month and it think that’s it i might stop sharing anymore because i see people not caring anymore and I’m totally understanding why that’s everyone is struggling in his own life especially here in tumblr i know most of people here are escaping life like me since i started to use tumblr back to 2012 .

As you see last 2 donations was in 10th of the month

I really hate this life and how it changed because of the genocide after our life was totally fine

Again i hope anyone who still able to support us to do it and continue showing that to me and my family

when you read articles from mainstream press about covid surges, they almost always do this fun little rhetorical trick where covid is simultaneously a thing of the past and also never went away. Just read one where an Emory professor was quoted saying "ah yes we are grateful that covid is behind us, yet we're now in the middle of a new wave-" uh! excuse me! it can't be both. It's either gone or it isn't. Which one is it? A more honest phrasing might be describing the difference between public perception of covid and actual wastewater or ER visit data, but that's not always the angle taken. They do this with so many diseases and health risks, it's utterly bizarre how people are supposed to simultaneously believe that "X" is gone but also "X" is something to still worry about. It's that fun trick where you absolve institutions for abandoning you ("covid/flu/insert-other-diseases-here are nothiiiiiiingggggg don't even worry") in the same breath as reminding people their health and safety is their sole individual responsibility ("xyz totallyyyyy won't kill you, but if it did it's your own fault btw")

Fucking hate these people

I do think Marc Johnson @/solidevidence is one of the most interesting and fun covid scientists to follow for his study of wastewater data. One, just on a geek level I enjoy hearing about the many types of animal and human viruses that his lab spots in their wastewater reviews (love his recurring guessing game about what species could possibly have brought x virus to y town in z month of the year). Two, he and his lab track "cryptic lineages" of covid via wastewater signal---these are thought to be chronic infections that have persisted internally in the body. During a persistent infection, the virus evolves according to different evolutionary pressures than it faces when transmitting rapidly from host to host, so these lineages can be spotted because they have unique genetic features combining aspects of old no-longer-circulating variants (with which the person was initially infected in 2020 or 2021 or whatever), plus persistent-infection characteristics that have evolved since then. This kind of chronic infection is probably a significant contributor to at least some forms of long covid.

A fair number of these cryptic lineages are identifiable in the current wastewater sampling data, and it's a haunting kind of detective work to follow what are essentially individual medical cases solely via these obscure data points. And an interesting follow for the meditations on confidentiality and medical ethics as well. The lab knows their location down to the metro area but not closer than that, and figuring out their identity is not logistically or ethically straightforward---but the actual people who have such high levels of viral emission are most likely significantly ill. (Fellow chronically ill readers may share my doubts about whether being diagnosed with a poorly understood manifestation of a postviral condition would lead to improved care or not, but you know ... it could be something.)

One outcome of loosely following his research is that I always take the wastewater covid predictor guys like Hoerger with a grain of salt. Like I appreciate it and I get it that there's a role for someone to try and plug the ridiculous gaps in public health data. But otoh when Johnson is routinely finding single individuals whose years-long chronic covid infections are capable of emitting half or more of the detectable virus signature from an entire sewershed, like unbelievable quantities ......... kinda makes you reflect that the sewershed signal is not a transparently one-to-one map of population prevalence. So I do think about that.

Residential buildings in Gaza are being bombed by the Israeli occupation army multiple times every day. The violence is only increasing as many in the West believe the lie about a ceasefire and turn their eyes away. Mohammed Abu Alwan is raising three young children in Gaza. The money the family of five needs for food, water, and medicine is about $200 USD per day; but Israel's destruction of infrastructure in Gaza means that Mohammed is entirely reliant on donations for the basic necessities of life.

Israel deliberately starting wildfires in southern Lebanon, firefighters say

Emergency services, residents and environmental groups say military dropping flares to destroy forests and crops

Firefighters and residents of south Lebanon have accused the Israeli military of lighting wildfires in the region, as forested areas burned down in blazes sparked by Israeli bombing. Environmental groups said the fires in recent weeks were part of a longstanding Israeli practice of targeting Lebanon’s natural environment. On Tuesday, the Israeli military dropped flares in a wooded area outside Khiam, in south Lebanon, sparking blazes. When firefighters attempted to extinguish the flames, a drone struck close by, forcing them to withdraw, said the head of the civil defence in the Nabatieh region, Hussein Fakih. “Most of our missions are now related to fires,” Fakih said. “There are enormous areas of woodland that have burned, I don’t have the exact figures, but in the areas close to the [frontline], around 30-40% of the land has been affected by fires.” The Israeli military has caused fires across south Lebanon, in particular in olive groves and on agricultural land, according to videos and testimony from emergency services, in the nearly two-months since the 17 June ceasefire that mostly ended fighting between Hezbollah and Israel.

[...]

According to environmental groups, the fires are part of a pattern of Israeli attacks against Lebanon’s environment that threaten the country’s woodlands and the biodiversity they support. Hisham Younes, the founder of Green Southerners, a Lebanese conservation organisation, said: “These are long-established woodlands, dominated by productive stone pine alongside oak. They perform critical functions. The wider area is also an important passage and resting ground for migratory birds.” Younes called the Israeli attacks an ecocide. “It is not about any single fire or attack, but a pattern of destruction that progressively erodes the ability of ecosystems to function, regenerate and sustain life. When those cascading effects also undermine livelihoods and people’s ability to return to and remain on their land, environmental destruction becomes inseparable from the wider transformation of the territory itself.”

[...]

It is not the first time Israeli forces have been reported to have set fires deliberately.In the summer of 2024, Israeli troops used trebuchets – medieval catapults – to fling flaming debris over its border wall with Lebanon, while the Lebanese army published photos of Israeli drones that carried hoses that doused forests in flammable materials. Health and environmental experts raised the alarm in February when Israeli planes dropped herbicides linked to cancer on farms in south Lebanon. Besides the environmental and health consequences of these fires, residents of south Lebanon have mourned the loss of the green spaces in the villages where they grew up.

Someone just asked what ZAMA is, it’s Zahrat Alhanoun Mutual Aid, formerly MIT Mutual Aid. They vetted our fundraiser.

They work on ground in Gaza, you can check out their website here: https://mutualaidgaza.org

We are students and alumni working with students, teachers, doctors, and professionals in Gaza to provide survival aid directly to families

You can contact them if you’re unsure about the credibility of the fundraiser. My friend needs donations for rent and their family’s basic needs. We’re hoping they will be feeling healthy enough to work in Autumn but they’re still very ill.

I’d be really grateful if you shared and donated. Thank you for all your help so far.
