On this, the anniversary of the lunar landing, let us also celebrate the greatest post-mission achievement by a crewman.
I refer, of course, to the time Buzz Aldrin (age 72 at the time) cold-cocked a moon landing conspiracy theorist straight in his smug face after being accused of being a coward, liar, and thief.
Yes, someone was indeed dumb enough to tell a man so unafraid of death that he was willing to go into the void on a fragile explosive rocket, a coward.
Said dumbass was filming this confrontation as some sort of proof of moon fraud, but has instead captured this glorious moment of near-cosmic justice for us to loop for all time.
Aldrin was not charged with any crime. He should have been given another medal for public service.
Said dumbass tried to take Aldrin to court for assault and was thrown out on his metaphorical ass, being cited as the instigator of the incident after luring Aldrin into a meeting under false pretenses (telling the former astronaut he was being interviewed for a children's program).
Where do we go as night approaches? H@lp us, we won't live in s@fety. These fires you see in the picture aren't just flames; they're consuming our sky, stealing sleep from our eyes, and filling our hearts with terror every second.
I'm just a child. A child's natural place is school, or a s@fe and comfortable place in their room. But my current situation is much worse. My family and I are now inside a tattered truck that offers no protection from the day's heat, nor from the night's cold, and certainly not from the shrapnel of fear that rains down around us, as you can see in the picture.
Every sound of the tent pegs snapping against our flimsy shelters is a reminder of the possibility of reaching us.Our worn-out tent is all we have now, and we desperately need your support to survive. We need basic necessities like food, clean water, and a proper shelter. Ple@se h@lp us,—,I beg you, don't abandon us.
Please please help my friend Ahmed!!! He is enduring unthinkable terror and has no relief from these conditions. Help his family to raise the funds they need to survive this!!
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who donated and supported our family yesterday. ❤️🙏
Thanks to your kindness, we now need only €100 to reach €3,000—another important milestone that brings us one step closer to our goal of rebuilding our lives.
If you're able to help, please don't put it off. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference and brings us closer to our goal.
We need more of this. Public shaming in front of their families. The nerve of the war-criminal: please don't tell my children I played a huge role in the mass-murder of children.
There are children in Gaza who need help. Donate if you can You're the only hope They need education, donate and share.

Time is running out. My wife's life is in danger. This is not an exaggeration. It is the reality we are living every single day. Doctors have confirmed that my wife's condition is getting worse because of severe vitamin deficiencies and malnutrition. Her body can no longer endure any more delays. Sadly, this will be the third surgery she has to undergo, and her exhausted body can no longer bear more pain or more waiting. She urgently needs treatment and surgery, and every day without support puts her life at even greater risk. I stand beside her feeling completely helpless, watching the woman I love grow weaker day after day while I desperately search for a way to save her. If you are reading these words, please don't scroll past them. Your donation, no matter how small, could give my wife a chance to survive. If you cannot donate, please share our story. It may reach the one person who can help save her life. Please don't let time run out before my wife gets her chance to survive. Vetted by GazaVetter #520

The FIFA World Cup is underway. People are watching the game in viewing parties, in bars and in their homes with friends, families and neighbours. Colourful jerseys and flags fill the streets. Markets and vendors are set up. A cultural exchange is taking place in real time.
But I can't help but think about the Palestinians, Lebanese and Iranians and Sudanese. They love the beautiful game, but they cannot enjoy and join in the festivities. They are surviving constant violence and famine. In fact, watch this video by a Palestinian artist and musician named Bilal. Do you see the people watching the games amidst the rubble? Is this fair? It is not!
So please keep talking about Palestine. Boycott, donate and protest! Consider helping my friend, Suad (@stillwritingtoday) [#279 in the vetted spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi. @/nabulsi has written multiple posts for Suad, with the latest update here].

This is the situation outside Gaza: hundreds of thousands of tons of humanitarian aid, medical equipment, and medicine are being held and prevented from entering by the Israelis, while we in Gaza are dying from the lack of medicine and medical equipment.
Oh, guys, we just need a little to get to the middle of our goal We are close to 15,000 We need less than €820 Come on, guys! We just need 2% To reach 50% of the target.
I was sitting in my residence yesterday when four very heavy missiles struck the central Gaza Strip. The ground shook beneath us from the force of the explosion. Indeed, Gaza is witnessing the most documented and most denied genocide in history.
I never imagined that more than three years would pass under the yoke of merciless people, or rather, the Zionist army cannot even be called human; they are beasts devoid of mercy. Yesterday, a nine-year-old girl was killed by an Israeli sniper, just for fun. And these scenes from yesterday, the bombing of an entire residential complex—I never knew I would witness this with my own eyes, and the world remains silent.
I just want a peaceful life with my loved ones in a place that suits me, to study and achieve my dreams. But all of that is destroyed because I'm in Gaza. I beg you to help me. I don't want to remain alone like this. If you can help in any way, it will be a great help to me. Please donate now to save me and those I love.
Help Nader, I am out of a lot of work due to two injuries & intense PT and I wish I could help more but I also beg you guys to help him supplement even the little bit I was able to give.
He needs us. He is going through something I can’t imagine going through in his circumstance.
Friends, I implore you to help us and share this post widely. Please donate to us, Najwa, thanks to your donations. Please donate now; every dollar makes a difference. Please.
Nearly 400 shares and not a single donation! I beg you, everyone, to follow up now. We desperately need your support. Please, please, please donate now! We need 1400 euros to reach our goal. I beg you, donate now!
