Ahmad is often in touch with me, help him today if you can, he deserves to rebuild his life & get on the path to finishing his studies.

A ceasefire doesn't mean the end. Our lives are still shattered, and our hearts are searching for a new beginning. 💔
Now begins the most difficult stage: rebuilding a home that shelters us and a future that protects us.
Every donation is a stone of hope on the path to a new life.

Who likes to read women who write twisted stories from masculine perspectives? Kinda seems like it makes me an oddball. I don't know why I'm this way.

That's true, everyone can be housed with the resources we have. But some want to hoard them all.

There should be no such thing as a homeless person. Everybody deserves a home. The rich ruin everything,

Hello, I'm Majd. I'm writing to you today after the war ended, from the rubble of our home in Gaza. They took everything: our home, our work, and our dreams. We now live in a tent, trying to live with dignity. Your support through GFM is our only hope to start over. 💔

It's Sahar, remember her son Odai was injured by a quadcopter? He's been suffering from it ever since. Can anyone help?

saharnasser002.bsky.social @saharnasser002.bsky.social · 1h

It feels like everyone has moved on and forgotten Odai’s pain. 💔
He’s still suffering every day from his Quadcopter injury, and now his painkillers have run out.
Im very sad about Odai
Please don’t leave him alone — he urgently needs $350 for treatment and relief. 🙏

Black People Knew This Would Happen

Generational experience has taught us what happens when the state builds a weapon for someone else: Sooner or later, it finds a way back to us.

I’m currently unable to send any direct messages on Bluesky.
My access to chats has been disabled by the platform moderators — without any clear reason or explanation.
I didn’t break any rules. All I’ve done is speak honestly about my life in Gaza and share what my family and I are going through.

Based on your silver-gray hair, I presume you're almost as old as I am. I'm 80. You're reasonably good looking. I want to run my tongue across and between your lips.
But my face is so ugly that you would never let my face get within 6 feet of yours, right?
