Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com

Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.

Everyone passionately defending the em dash from being stolen completely by AI has also had the side effect of teaching me that I’ve been using it wrong. I was doing this - with a normal-sized dash and spaces between - rather than the larger dash with no spaces. So that’s cool I guess

[karl-von-moor-official]

it's actually called em dash because it's meant to be the width of an M. There's also an n dash which is meant to be the width of an N.

normal dash is for in-between words, like in in-between!

n dash is usually for numbers, like when you're saying, "I did 4–7 things today."

m dash is for interjecting a sentence to add context—extra information or thoughts and lists of things—without making said context seem less important than the rest of the sentence (which would be the case with brackets).

on mobile keyboards, you can usually hold down on the dash to make the other dashes appear

like so.

and while it's not incorrect to use em dashes with a space before and after the dash — this definitely done in published writing too! — it's less common than using it without those spaces, especially online.

[redhoodinternaldialectical]

So I went to look up what key on a physical keyboard makes the em dash and it turns out there is no em-dash key on the vast majority of keyboards meaning that you're either inserting the memorized unicode, or have custom keybindings, or are copy pasting it every time, or typing everything out on a phone-

Look, maybe it's because I'm a monospace font pervert and thus all differences in character size are abomination before mine eyes, but this seems like such a fiddly, annoying amount of work to go through for a nearly invisible difference in length best measured in individual pixels

I salute your dedication to the em dash, you work hard for that thing, and do not deserve the AI accusations

'A popular fanfic author stopped updating her fic because she said that the stress of being constantly falsely accused of using AI was a witch hunt and it was destroying her mental health to the extent that she needed to take a break from writing, leading to multiple online discussions defending her and debates about AI accusations and how You Can't Really Tell So Leave Her Alone, and then someone realised that there were Claude coding artefacts in her fics and that it was a super pervasive problem in that particular fandom, proven definitively by looking at the source coding of each work on AO3, and she denied it for a bit but then ultimately admitted that oopsie, she had been using genAI all along, and then she deleted all of her fics off AO3 and people got mad because they were being denied access to their favourite fics, even though they now knew definitively that they were genAI slop, and then it turned out that she'd actually stopped updating the fic on AO3 in the first place because she'd been shopping it around to agents and editors as an original work with the serial numbers filed off, and she'd been in conversations with a publisher which ultimately got dropped because she'd lied to them about her AI use' oh cool, so we're in Hell, then

Eva Stratt does NOT need a redemption arc. Eva Stratt did EVERYTHING WRONG so that no-one else would have to. Her hands are permanently stained with blood so humanity gets to keep on living.

“Would you block someone just for disagreeing with you?” Pal, I’ll block someone for agreeing with me in the wrong tone of voice.

[notahorseindisguise]

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

[hiveswap]

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

[midnight-revolucion]

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.
