No donations = no food💔
It’s heartbreaking to have to share our daily suffering just to find a bite to eat, and still receive no support.
We rely on your donations to buy food and try to rebuild our lives.💔
Please, help us keep going 🙏

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.

yeah, look .... not sure who needs to hear this (actually, everyone does), but turn off the stupid AI suggestions in your search results, and def. go and use @wikipedia.org a lot more.

I use it as my first-go-to knowledge base resource.

Follow the trail of citations to primary sources.

It's good.
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Please Donate now:👇👇

This campaign is at slightly over sixty-six percent of its goal. Can you help these people along?

Every time I write about my suffering, I write while crying...
Not because I want pity, but because I need hope.
I need a hand reaching out to say, ‘We are not alone.’
Your donation today could be the difference between life and death 💔🙏

Although the link on the bottom appears to be broken, the one on top is working—and it goes to a campaign that desperately needs more funding.

My baby RIMA 💔
💔 She was born in a tent, under bombs.
Never saw a cradle, never touched a home.
Now she starves, while the world scrolls on
🥀 Her tiny legs bend from hunger.
No milk. No bread. No peace.
Just fear, fire, and silence.

I can't take it anymore.
I'm completely exhausted.
I suffer in silence.
All that matters to me is keeping
my family safe.
Please help me buy healthy food.“

Let's get @ginafortexas.bsky.social the attention she deserves.

She's running for governor of Texas.

She's running for us. She's not running to keep the billionaires in power. (Greg Abbott is, tho.)
I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.

„They call it a ceasefire
but how can you cease the suffering?
The war didn't end for us
We're still among the ruins
after losing our home
jobs & everything we owned
Silence doesn't mean safety
& hunger doesn't stop with peace talks
Please don't forget us we still need you“

just in case anyone needs the confirmation - our class had an editor from a well-known comics publisher come in today and told us she won't even look at the dead bird app anymore when they're looking for artists. hosting your own website for your art (or here on bsky!) is the best right now.

Since they’ve deciding to “kick back and relax” at home, there’s no better time to annoy them by ringing their phones off the hook ☎️

Urge your reps to extend the ACA tax credits & stop the federal layoffs and illegal budget cuts here:

Republicans care more about hiding the Epstein files and illegally firing federal workers than funding the government, fixing the health care crisis, and doing their job as a check on this authoritarian regime.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

In other words, they don't want stories to have villains at all.
People who prescribe that approach to writing villains don't seem to realize how naive it is. You can fall for the idea that evil isn't real if you haven't had much life experience. By now, we should all understand that there *is* evil.
