On Wednesday, the day before his 21st birthday, my friend Cam passed away from a rare and aggressive cancer.
His family had set up this GFM to fund Cam's treatment, but now the money will be used to help settle his end-of-life expenses and memorial costs.
Cam was a bright kid with a bright future, and I can only imagine the pain his loved ones are going through. Please consider sharing his family's GFM, and tell the people you love that they are loved.
Fuck cancer.

In psychology class we were learning about the psychology of attraction and my teacher had said “the whole opposites attract thing is mostly false. People usually are attracted to people who look like themselves. Have u ever seen a couple that just looked TOGETHER, or very similar to each other?”
And one girl in my class had shouted out “like Dan and Phil?”
And my teacher was like “EXACTLY”
"Well, I don't think we have any alternative other than remaining optimistic. Optimism is an absolute necessity, even if it's only optimism of the will, as Gramsci said, and pessimism of the intellect. What has kept me going has been the development of new modes of community. I don't know whether I would have survived had not movements survived, had not communities of resistance, communities of struggle survived. So whatever I'm doing I always feel myself directly connected to those communities and I think that this is an era where we have to encourage that sense of community particularly at a time when neoliberalism attempts to force people to think of themselves only in individual terms and not in collective terms. It is in collectives that we find reservoirs of hope and optimism."

the way ozempic has finally made the fact that eating healthy and exercising doesn't necessarily make you thin well known and society's reaction to this is not "oh i guess being thin or fat doesn't actually show if you're healthy" but "oh i guess everyone should be on this drug"
it is legit bizarre to me how hard video game creators and film directors and showrunners try to pretend that fat people don't exist. can you think of the last time you saw a fat person in a lead role? god forbid a fat woman? i can walk down the street or go into a shop or restaurant and see fat people everywhere but then i switch on the tv and suddenly it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe where no one has a bmi over 24. insidious and weird
the distress of being in your 20s is such a familiar cliche like teehee aimless boohoo transitions and yet when it’s happening to me ??????? surely no one’s gone through any of this before
born into a ritually unclean status below commoner and can't marry out can't work your way out and can't take the imperial exam you're just fucked forever. meng yao i'm sorry i haven't been a good enough apologist i can do better
some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I have been talking with @shahdgazza for a while now. They've had two fundraising campaigns from which the money was stolen, which means they haven't been able to buy the medication that their daughter Farah needs.
This campaign is vetted by association as explained here and here, having been vouched for by @rehamyasirrr who has also had to open many different accounts due to hateful reports. Reham's campaign has been shared by @90-ghost as you can see here, see also here.
The vetted fundraiser is an old one, but you can still find it linked in early reblogs of @shahdgazza's posts, such as this one. If you compare the gfm links, you will see they have the same URL: "f6pexj-test".
So even though they are now sharing a Paypal link instead, this is the same family. I am working with them to set up a new fundraiser as soon as possible, but please divert your support to this PayPal account right now.
Please help me support Farah and her family. They are desperate for food and water as well as medication for Farah. You can donate here:

No money has been received yet! Farah's parents desperately need $200 to buy medicine for her. She has a kidney condition that is currently unmedicated!
If you can, please donate, or help by sharing this post!!!
