BBC News: "'Worse than starting from scratch': how big is the task of rebuilding Gaza?"

The situation on the ground for Gazans is dire. They rely on donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to flee. And to others. ❤️🙏

Hello, I’m from Gaza.
We’re living through hell
homes destroyed,memories erased,loved ones gone. Even the innocence of our children has been shattered.
Every bit of help—even a small donation—could save a life or rekindle a flicker of hope.

Thank you for remembering Gaza 😢🙏

Reminder that there has never been any evidence that conversion therapy is anything but torture, it has led to suicides and increased depression, while transitioning has decades of research and results.

Also notice the 19…they’re increasing the age, they want it for no one.

What they want to shut down is this possibility, they do not want to provide relief to those suffering from gender dysphoria, if they did they would try to understand the science. And without any hope for proper consultation, it will never get better.

One of the reasons I’m still here, still alive…is that I had hope my life could get better. That I could feel better. And that is because I was able to become informed, feel listened to, and feel not alone. Trans healthcare is also therapy and informative meetings on diagnoses.

Fenway Health saved my life by providing me with the consultations, medical help, and information that made it possible for me to transition at 18 while being informed. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life.

This will hurt so many people.

1. In a major capitulation to Trump, Fenway Health, a center ostensibly dedicated to LGBTQ+ healthcare, has ended its trans care program under 19.

It could have fought for its patients. It chose instead to roll over.

Community members are devastated.

Fenway Health Restricts Treatment for Patients Under 19 In Capitulation To Trump

Ruaa needs help raising funds to get supplies, survive, and rebuild. The borders are supposed to re-open tomorrow (I believe) and any amount you can give will help her immensely.

Jeff Yang @originalsp.in · 6h

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Please don't turn away from the suffering civilians in Gaza. We’re their only voice and means of survival.

Give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. Like many of Gazans, her Bluesky accounts are constantly deleted. And find and help others if you can. ❤️ 🙏

I’m no movie art expert, but the thing that always grabbed me about Drew Struzan’s art was that the figures in his work always looked like they were made of light. (Yeah yeah, “luminous beings.”)

It’s a quality that, of course, maps to movie imagery so perfectly.
