My friend Mimi connected me to Motaz, whose parents needed help desperately in Gaza. I'm serving as the anchor bank account for this family's campaign. It will be used exclusively by the family here to manage their donation funds.

Maysam and her family deserve life. Thank you

[IMG // would love to have a sketch that's playful, blue, and colorful, of the band members against blue]

"I think I had two stories in my head. One was we're gonna sell a hundred copies and that's it. I'm gonna have to go back and work at Tower Records, or whatever. But the other one was like, 'Man, this album feels so powerful, so moving and special to me. I think we're gonna find a big audience, and this is gonna be an important record.'"
"Rock bands were getting more and more outrageous with tattoos and piercings. We came out completely clean-cut, four guys standing in a line, singing songs in major keys, about girls or whatever. It didn't quite make sense how that was the next step for rock and roll."
–Rivers Cuomo, CBS News, 2024

Maybe the war everyone talks about has ended,
but another war still clings to us.
How long will this tent remain my entire world?

If you’d like to help me, I have these links.
Thank you so much.

proven design that made living better in a smaller square meter footprint per unit? I'm willing to throw myself at Putin with everything I've got on general principles, so that's at least one, and I can probably be convinced of more on a case by case basis as long as the powerpoint isn't too long.

Urgency lets you stamp trauma down so you can protect what you love. The more urgent, the more can be comparmentalized.

Good outcomes that lower the level of urgency also mean the compartmentalized trauma starts popping free.

Try'n be patient with folks who don't seem too happy at sudden good news

Ahmed just reached out. I really don't want yet another infant to die. We have an opportunity to help.

Really terrible news which is that little Masa died from her illness 💔

Molly Shah @mommunism.bsky.social · 10d

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Baraa. Baraa is the mother of 3 children Masa, 6, Ibrahim, 4 and Maha, 7 months. Tragically Maha was killed after a nearby bombing caused gasses to overwhelm her little lungs. Masa is in the hospital because of kidney issues from malnutrition.

A ceasefire doesn’t mean peace Our lives remain in pieces and our hearts still ache for a new beginning
Now starts the hardest journey rebuilding a home to keep us safe, and a future to hold onto hope
Every donation becomes a brick of compassion in the walls of our new life

My sister Rafeef is crying from the extreme cold. She just wants winter clothes to feel warm like the other children. The cold hurts her more than words can explain. Please... help us with a warm piece of clothing, a blanket, anything that will soothe a shivering little girl. 🥺🤲

They did this to my father in 1970.
He wasn't even allowed to say goodbye to his mother. 55 years later, same abuse and injustice.

As a person who often stands out whether I'd like to or not, I am very aware of minute differences and how they draw attention of others. Marah's glasses tells a story across photographs that still exists in spite of her account's being deleted repeatedly. Opportunity to help:

I am currently studying urine analysis,as it is one of the most important tests for revealing a patient's condition.

Don’t stop your support.
The war may have ended, but I’m still living among its ashes.
Without work, without food — I fight every day just to survive.
Please, don’t let me fade away after surviving it all.
Would you help us with $150 for food and blankets?
I’m verified.

There's so much that can finally start now, but the families' need for support to begin rebuilding their lives is still very real. We can choose to help.
