Welcome to my sideblog of weird and interesting stuff. I go here whenever I just don't feel like roleplaying. I follow back from thenewgamemaster-moved.
Abdul Rahman's mother has died after a battle with cancer...
Yesterday, Abdul Rahman's mother passed away.
He [@abdulrahman-family1] is beyond devastated, and this is his greatest loss. The earth feels heavy, the tears won't stop falling... Imagine losing somebody who is everything to you. This is how Abdul Rahman felt about his dear mother. He said he can't imagine life without her. Imagine the empty bed next to him, where she used to be...
A few days ago, she was hospitalized. They gave her sedatives, and Abdul Rahman was told that "she doesn't need to be awake now." After that, they discovered that the cancer had spread to her bones, and she never woke up again. Imagine not even being able to say the last "I love you, and goodbye"... I am angry that they didn't tell him that there is nothing they can do and this is the last time he sees her awake!
I am also angry with all of the states and institutions like the World Health Organization that have failed her and him, and did not evacuate her as promised. The doctors promised she would be among the first patients evacuated. We literally begged institutions and states all over the world to evacuate her. They just let her die, knowingly...
And this hurts, this is the deepest betrayal by the world.
They let her die slowly in inhumane conditions... because of insufficient treatment in Gaza, she went through agonizing pain, unimaginable to you and me. My heart hurts so much, and is grieving together with Abdul Rahman's.
This is not just another fundraiser, I'm not going to ask you to share anything. I'm just asking you to read this and feel Abdul Rahman's pain and loss.
Because that pain and loss is not just his, but it is our loss. Our world is losing by letting kind hearts like them suffer in silence, our world has failed humanity, not just Gaza.
And let me add something...Abdul Rahman's mother didn't just die of cancer, but she was, I believe, murdered by Israel. In the recent independent study, uranium was found in Palestinian soil because of the forbidden type of weapons Israel has used. Because of that, there is a rise in aggressive cancers in Gaza, such as the gallbladder cancer she had.
For those who want to keep on supporting the family, here is the link to their fundraiser:

_____________________________________
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Abdul Rahman's story is published in a well-known newspaper
We, activists from the Slovenian movement for Palestinian rights, have published Abdul Rahman's plea for evacuation in one of the most well-known newspapers in our country. With this, we aim to put political pressure on our leaders to evacuate students like Abdul Rahman from Gaza. In the article, we also described the failed medical evacuation of his mother, and we warned against repeating the same mistake again with Abdul Rahman's evacuation.
We keep fighting for his evacuation with hope in our hearts.🤞Please keep supporting Abdul Rahman and his family. 🙏
Link to the article (you can read it with a translator).
Abdul Rahman says that he doesn't want to live in a world like this and that nobody understands what they're experiencing in Gaza.
So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.
Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?
The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!
This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.
Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:
Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or
Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.
The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.
The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).
Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.
Serbian here living in Belgrade! This is all true and I've actually seen some of these around the city a few times. They're amazing at what they do and really cool to watch up close because you can see pretty swirling inside them. It's not only functional but aesthetically pretty nice as well!
I will never shy away from the word goon. goon is the only way to describe a particular type of henchman, lackey, or thug. look at these guys. they're goons.
Why playing with algebraic and calculus concepts—rather than doing arithmetic drills—may be a better way to introduce children t
The familiar, hierarchical sequence of math instruction starts with counting, followed by addition and subtraction, then multiplication and division. The computational set expands to include bigger and bigger numbers, and at some point, fractions enter the picture, too. Then in early adolescence, students are introduced to patterns of numbers and letters, in the entirely new subject of algebra. A minority of students then wend their way through geometry, trigonometry and, finally, calculus, which is considered the pinnacle of high-school-level math.
But this progression actually “has nothing to do with how people think, how children grow and learn, or how mathematics is built,” says pioneering math educator and curriculum designer Maria Droujkova. She echoes a number of voices from around the world that want to revolutionize the way math is taught, bringing it more in line with these principles.
The current sequence is merely an entrenched historical accident that strips much of the fun out of what she describes as the “playful universe” of mathematics, with its more than 60 top-level disciplines, and its manifestations in everything from weaving to building, nature, music and art. Worse, the standard curriculum starts with arithmetic, which Droujkova says is much harder for young children than playful activities based on supposedly more advanced fields of mathematics.
“Calculations kids are forced to do are often so developmentally inappropriate, the experience amounts to torture,” she says. They also miss the essential point—that mathematics is fundamentally about patterns and structures, rather than “little manipulations of numbers,” as she puts it. It’s akin to budding filmmakers learning first about costumes, lighting and other technical aspects, rather than about crafting meaningful stories.
The idea of Mario and Peach having any kind of relationship beyond the occasional kiss on the nose and "mama mia" is like viscerally incomprehensible to me
Not like in a prude way I just can't conceive of Mario experiencing... urges. He's a character outside the scope of that. I'm not saying he's asexual either cause positioning him on the allo/ace spectrum implies that it's a dimension of his character that at least exists, that he has at some point noticed it. I think he just jumps.
#op interrogate yourself about why you think this right fucking now
So unlike Mario, who continues to be essentially a void with no internality, I actually act with thoughts and intent and already did do that when writing this post.
Mario is a mascot of one of the most sanitized corporate brands in existence. He differs from real, full-fledged ace people in that his sexlessness is not queer, not transgressive in any sense of the word, just a void left by his position as a player character. He has no queer identity because he has no identity beyond the fact that it's-a-him, Mario.
I don’t know if anyone will read this… or if my voice will disappear like everything else we lost.
My name is Suhaila, a mother of five children.
My daughter Mira is in a very critical condition, and every passing moment brings us closer to losing her if help does not arrive in time.
I hold her small hand, watch her struggle to breathe, and pray for one more chance for her life.
Please… act now. Silence is taking her away from me. Every moment without help brings us closer to losing her. I beg you from my heart, don’t scroll past—help us before it’s too late.
Every second matters. Any small donation can help save her life. Please don’t ignore us. Share this message, donate if you can. Your kindness could give my daughter a chance to live and see tomorrow
Every second now is precious, and every act of kindness could be the reason she survives.
I am not asking for anything impossible—just a chance for my daughter to live, to stay with her siblings, and to have a tomorrow.
Please do not ignore this message.
If you cannot donate, please share it.
Your compassion might be the reason Mira lives.
I beg you with all my heart, stop here – donate, share, choose compassion before this silence becomes my daughter’s end.
Thank you for listeningMy daughter is on the edge of death. Every passing second could cost her life.
Share, donate now, and don’t let silence steal her minutes. Your kindness can save her today.

My children are searching for their clothes under the rubble. This is my destroyed home Please help my orphaned children in Palestine. Help them
Help us. Save us. We are slowly dying. 😭💔🙏
I am a mother of five children, and today we are living through one of the most terrifying moments of our lives.
The army has ordered the evacuation of the areas around us. People are running in fear, carrying their children and whatever little they have left. I recorded a video so the world can see the suffering we are going through and the fear surrounding us every second.
We have no money to leave, no safe place to go, and nowhere to protect my children. Every moment feels like danger is getting closer to us. My children are terrified, and I do not know how to keep them safe anymore.
Please, I beg you, help us before it is too late. Help us before we are bombed and disappear like so many others. Any support, donation, or share could save the lives of my children.
Please do not ignore our cries for help.

I know that sounds harsh, but it's the truth I'm living Right Now😔
I keep wondering how many more times I'll have to ask before someone hears our cry for help. While you're reading this... she's lying in a hospital bed waiting... struggling... fighting for her life.
The doctors told us the truth we were terrified to hear: If she doesn't get this surgery immediately, we could lose her... forever💔
We only need $833. That's it. Not something impossible. that small amount... is the difference between life and death 😔
$833 might not mean much to some people... But to me, it means hearing my mother's voice again. It means seeing her smile. It means she gets another chance to live.
So let me ask you something honestly..
If this were your mother and her life depended on $833... would you close this post and keep scrolling?Or Would you tell yourself "someone else will help"?
Because that's exactly what everyone is thinking right now. And that's how people die. Not because they couldn't be saved... but because everyone assumed someone else would do it. Please... don't be the person who saw this and did nothing.🙏💔😔
I am not asking for luxury or comfort. I am asking for the chance to keep my mother safe. I am asking you to help us before we lose her. If our story reaches your heart, please don't leave without doing something. Your kindness today could be the reason my mother receives her medication in time🙏
Just $833... standing between her life and death. Don't think someone else will help... because right now, no one has. 🙏
Turning to dust seeing people react to the part in The Incredibles where Elastigirl sighs about being built like a Pixar mom. Them needing it explained that it played differently in the 2000s because beauty standards were different back then.
So fucking old that I remember camming on chaturbate and having a black fan feel the need to explain his complement and that being thick can be desirable in his culture. Because we were kinda still at the tail end of white women being ashamed of having asses. Probably just a few months before the Kim Kardashian breaking the internet thing.
You know she doesn't even have as fat of an ass anymore? Society is regressing. There's still time to right the ship though. Go edge to pics of fat asses.
its important to note the difference between beauty standards and beauty trends. while there have been efforts to put forth body postivity/neutrality overwhelmingly the standards of beauty have remained unchanged over the past couple centuries due to of course white beuaty standards, white supremacy and colonialism. that being the standard of women to be slender in most societies. for a moment on tiktok there was a discussion of the difference between what constitutes as fat with regard to white american vs. black american cultures as footage of the singer addison rae sparked controversy with many white women calling addison, a grown woman who not particularly skinny but also definitely not plus sized as fat. white women were ashamed of having asses because of racism. antiblackness in particular. a fat ass is not only seen as fat but its seen as 'ghetto' and 'classless'. even within the black american culture and community a fat ass was seen as desirable but only on a non fat body. the kardashians being the tastemakers of white american popular culture for the past odd 20 years or so are social chameleons, they change their bodies and appearances on whats popular at the time. kim and all of her sisters notably have had a thing for black men going all the way back to the 90s and wanted to attract what they desired so they gave themselves themselves the physical attributes of whats deemed attractive in regards to black femininity. regardless of the racial ambiguity of the kardashians theyre ambiguous enough that theyre still able to associate themselves with the white wealthy elite. hip hop rap and black aesthetics arent as mainstream currently that we're in our second term of trump's america and there's push on all fronts to go back to an era of either the lionized european frail white beauty the stick thin baywatch big boobed blonde of the 80s or the plain unassuming 50s housewife. society is regressing because the racism that never left is becoming increasingly louder and more mainstream and normalized. i dont know if 'edging it to fat asses' is the solution but yall do you.

🔴 Between Hospitals and Fear... A Mother Fighting to Survive 😔
We write these words not knowing whether we will still be alive tomorrow. My name is Najah, I am a mother of six children, and I am living through days beyond what I can endure. I try to stay strong for my children, but I suffer from a severe deficiency in vitamins, iron, and calcium, which leaves my body exhausted all the time, yet I continue moving between home and the hospital without rest.
⚠️ My husband urgently needs surgery.
My husband is suffering from a severe health condition that began before the war due to digestive problems, but it has significantly worsened since then. He now urgently needs a surgical operation and continuous medical care that we cannot afford. His condition became even worse after he was injured during the bombardment while we were inside our home, increasing the danger to his life
⚠️ My child has had increased electrical activity in the brain since early childhood.
As for my son Ahmed, he is a young child not yet six years old who has suffered from recurrent epileptic seizures since birth. He needs continuous treatment, but the essential medications are almost unavailable in Gaza and, when they do arrive through the crossings, they come in extremely limited quantities, making his treatment unstable and full of risk
💔 There is no safe place left for us.
We live under constant bombardment, displacement, and repeated evacuation orders, with no safety or stability. My children live in constant fear, and we have no money to escape or even protect them, and there is no safe place for us to go. Every moment, we feel danger getting closer.
🔴 Repeated displacement and losing everything with every evacuation 💔
With every evacuation, we are forced to leave our tent, our clothes, and everything we own, fleeing in panic, losing again even the most basic necessities of life with no ability to replace them.
🔴 Children’s suffering inside tents due to harsh conditions and illness 💔
My children also suffer from recurring health problems due to harsh conditions inside the tent, where rodents and insects are widespread because of poor hygiene and lack of a safe environment, leading to painful skin infections and other health issues
🔴 Children are deprived of education due to families’ inability to provide basic school supplies 💔
They also struggle to continue their education due to the inability to afford books, notebooks, and school supplies. The cost is around $200 per child, which is completely beyond our means.
🚨 We urgently need treatment, food, and safe shelter to save my children’s lives. 💔🏥🍞🕊️
💛 Any contribution starting from $25, $50, $100, or even $200 can make a real difference in easing suffering and giving this family a chance at life.

thank you so much for your help. we were able to buy a few of what’s needed now. also, i am sorry for the disturbance yesterday.
7:26 PM May 18
Hi. I am really sorry for messaging you again but I want to ask for your help because we really need it again right now and no one is helping. I know that you have always been helpful in reblogging the fundraising post whenever I tag you but if you happen to know any account that could bring even just a little change, can you either please let me know or can you please tag them yourself? I know that it might be such a weird request but I am running out of options. We need $500 in three hours, even $220 will do but nothing comes in still. I have been tagging whoever when I am not at work but help is beyond slow. I understand if you don’t want to. I just thought I should try again. Any amount helps. That’s all. Have a blessed day.
May 14 3:34 PM
oh dang i missed this message I am so sorry. I have been sick
It’s okay. I understand. We just need help right now
We are about $105 short and we need it before 9:30 am 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And it is already 8:43 in here.
It is really urgent.
Been tagging everyone I can but no help is coming so I thought I’ll ask you
I am really really sorry.
reblogged everyone. Fastest i ever done
i mean tagged everyone on my list
thank you so much. ii am really really sorry for the bother
I just have no one else to ask for help from
it is past 9:30 here too
I have been trying to get enough help for the last six days and nothing is coming in
I don’t know what will happen to my sister anymore 😭😭😭😭😭

Making this because despite many attempts to spread the campaign, I think people are seeing the large number of notes in original post and thiking its well funded. It is not. Nothing has changed for a while despite the attempts at spreading it around.

more vouching
Dec 27, 2024
alex can’t post the pictures of what their arm looks like now because it will get their account taken down. that’s how bad things are. but i’ve seen the pictures and i can vouch for how dire their situation is. they need life saving surgery and their go get funding is barely crawling up. please. reblogging is always helpful, but PLEASE, if you have anything to spare, please donate. this is so fucking urgent i’m begging you.please help my friend.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE TO APPEAL TO ANY OF YOU, BUT MY SISTER IS DYING (IN A CRITICAL CONDITION DUE TO HER POTASSIUM AND MAGNESIUM DEPLETING YET AGAIN) AND WE STILL NEED TO COMPLETE $1,700 IMMEDIATELY (BEEN TRYING TO GATHER THIS AMOUNT SINCE JUNE 9TH/DUE DATE SINCE JULY 14TH). I AM AFRAID THAT SHE MIGHT END UP GETTING A HEART ATTACK/GOING INTO COMA OR EVEN WORSE—DYING. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE HOW URGENT AND SEVERE HER HEALTH CONDITION IS. THREE DAYS IN A ROW NOW, THERE ARE PUS LEAKING OUT OF HER LEFT BREAST. SO, PLEASE HELP US.
“
(Please look into the photos under the fundraiser as well to understand how urgent this is since Tumblr kept tagging whatever photos I post as “mature content”. They kept hiding updates that is why it isn’t getting any traction at all. Please, this is a matter of life and death. I cannot emphasize how urgent this is.) I have been asking around for help for months now (wasn’t able to post anything for almost 4 weeks too despite staff insisting that the account isn’t restricted/shadowbanned) but there is not much significant change at all.
So, I am deeply sorry if I somehow offended you because I randomly tagged you. We are beyond desperate to spread this post and get help. I swear to you that is truly a matter of life and death still. I am begging you to please understand my desperation. Kindly donate, please. And see pinned post if you want to know how awful her health is but be careful because the photos could be too graphic. I am really sorry. Please don’t reprimand me.
If you want to be removed from being tagged, please message me directly, and I will immediately do as you like. I know that this may seem invasive but it is not our intention. I just don’t know what to do anymore and I have been running out of ways to keep my sister alive. I cannot offer something in return other than express my immense gratitude. I am sorry, and please consider helping us. Thank you very much. ”
