This is a lovely project for kids’ handicrafts and no one ever gives to it. It’d mean income for Ibtihal (to buy food) & joy for Palestinian kids.

I’ve matched my sister, can you match one of us? Can you text a family member to match you? Can you click “monthly”?

Palestinians returning to northern Gaza say they have no means to rebuild amid what they describe as indescribable destruction by Israeli forces, as limited aid trickles in but remains scarce, according to officials.

Nationalism for any country is cringe but Canadians are particularly annoying about their specific brand of it. That flag represents the murder and institutionalization of indigenous people throughout Canadian history like...y'all live in a glass house too lmao.

Canadians trying to lecture Americans about Nazis is funny considering Canada literally celebrates Nazis as national heros and have multiple shrines to them at cemeteries.

Not to mention how many are in the population openly doing fascism while the country and population does nothing about it.

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. 💔

FINAL HOUR ⚠️ The grief, the famine, the displacement, the unemployment, the homelessness have not ended.

So our solidarity—real and true, not fickle and based on the news—remains lifesaving. Nothing less.

Stretch: 1076/1100 for food, shelter, more for SIX families & a displacement camp in Gaza. ❤️‍🩹

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle

We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

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.

Israel is finding ways to sustain a trickle of genocide during the ceasefire

They use their gangs & war profiteers & the sound of drones to intimidate, kill, & withhold aid from Palestinians

Palestinian journalists bid a heartbreaking farewell to their colleague Saleh Al-Jaafarawi, who was killed by Israeli-backed gangs in Gaza City today.

Israel-linked Daghmush militia executed journalist Saleh al-Jaafari with seven point-blank gunshots after holding him captive for several hours.

Companies like OpenAI do not have to publicly disclose its exact water usage.. Google reports their data centers using over 6 billion gallons of water annually.

If you don’t see the link between ICE and the IDF, you haven’t been paying attention. We are being asked to accept a world where whole communities are made disposable and marked for disappearance. If we accept that for anyone, no one is safe anywhere.

Ever since Covid when everyone was reading at home, libraries have spent more on ebooks than they do physical and publishers basically extort them to renew them yearly/get more than a few copies. It's sick!

I think one of the challenges of AI discourse is that many people have not yet felt or seen the consequences of overusing water and electricity, and so everybody pointing out that queries use a ton of both means nothing to them. Yet.

A student on TikTok has been documenting her journey with a professor who “wrote” the anatomy textbook and it’s all a bunch of AI hallucinations.

She’s saying that, understandably, the students are doing super poorly!

Behold what we’re teaching the healthcare professionals of tomorrow:

A diagram of the bones and (some) deep muscles of the hand and forearm. AI says that we only have four digits. It’s also identified a tendon as the median nerve, another tendon as the ulnar nerve, among other issues.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the neck. It hallucinated the “ennocleidomasid” muscle, and the “anterior scalpalin muscle”.

An AI generated diagram of the muscles of the lateral thigh. It says that the gluteus Maximus (the big juicy butt muscle) is on the anterior side. It also points to the quadriceps muscle and says “attattment”. It also says that the same structure is the tibia AND the deep fascia of the leg.

An AI generated diagram of the bones of the hand and forearm. This time AI says we have 6 digits. It also says that the radius is the ulnar artery. Among other many issues.

US Public safety nets are being destroyed in real time in EVERY sector. What we really need is an FDR type to survive this but Democrats are so comfortable in their accrued wealth and "nothing will fundamentally change attitude" they refuse to give ppl that. That's a betrayal.
