Dear Humanity,

why would remind me of the frail mortality of beetles? beetles can't die they never die shut up shut shutup

New chess piece called the Beetle which crawls under the chessboard and dies and stays there for a long time

Hello, if you have some time spare, could you please take a look at @hanangaza7 campaign? Hanan, her husband and their three children, Lana, Abdul Karim and Adam are trapped in Gaza. Due to Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, their home in Khan Younis and their clothing store has been destroyed, forcing them to leave and live in constant fear every day. They are trying to raise enough money to evacuate and rebuild their lives, and to afford food, water and shelter. They are currently at $14,972 out of their $100K target! If you have any money to spare, please try to donate to their campaign, the link is shown below. Could you also please share their campaign with as many others as possible? Thank you!

it's fucking insane that we have a whole system of national and international charities and NGOs and government bodies and treaty organisations all devoting themselves to children's rights work while simultaneously being completely unwilling to name the problems they're fighting against.

imagine if every feminist organisation on Earth was unwilling to say the word "misogyny". imagine if the NAACP refused to address racism. that's what it's like.

everyone from the Children's Commissioner for Wales to fucking UNICEF is out here like "we are here to protect children from harm" and won't say the words "adultism" or "ageism".

they run campaigns to get children's rights taught in schools and deliberately never talk about the fact that the reason schools aren't already doing that is because authoritarian institutions have a vested interest in people not knowing their rights.

they petition governments to outlaw beating children and then spend half their public messaging falling over themselves to apologise to parents for implying they might be doing something wrong instead of saying "yeah, actually, we have a problem of systemic parental violence against children and parents who commit and defend that violence are, in fact, the enemy."

it's like they think children's rights and dignity are threatened by some unknowable force of the universe at large instead of by observable systems of power and privilege perpetuated by actual real-life people. and anyone who notices this ends up going crazy feeling like the guy who got out of Plato's cave but couldn't convince anyone else the shadows weren't reality.

Did you know that there are entire complex ecosystems that thrive in mountains of guano? A whole interconnected food web of predators, prey, scavengers, etc. Generations upon generations of living beings who spend their lives in or on a massive pile of bat feces.

How does a creature like that interpret the existence of bats? These beings who live far above their world, coming and going as they please through realms unknowable. Witnessing wonders they can hardly imagine. Casting down blessings from on high. A bat must be a divine thing to them.

But on the rare occasion that a bat slips from the roof of the cave and gets stuck in the guano, they get consumed almost immediately. Without even a second thought. Not the slightest hint of reverence or graditude.

what I'm trying to say is that if God ever falls from heaven we should eat him

my "suicidal hermit" lifestyle has been largely detrimental to my emotional wellbeing

it takes an awful lot of solipsism (& a pretty grim dearth of curiosity) to see someone saying something you dont understand & conclude "this is meaningless gibberish" or even "this is intentionally phrased to prevent Me from understanding it"

"They’re not collateral damage — they are being targeted."

The image you see is not from a war movie. It's a real X-ray of a Palestinian child. A sniper's bullet pierced her skull. This was not an accident. It was a calculated shot — to the head. How many children must bleed before the world opens its eyes?

I see this, and I tremble. Because I, too, am a mother. My own child is injured. He cries every night from pain. He needs urgent medical care — but we are trapped under siege, under fear, under silence.

How long before my son becomes another X-ray? Another hashtag? Another number?

If you're reading this, you have power — power to share, power to donate, power to care.

Help me get my son out. Help save him before it’s too late. Gaza’s children are not targets. They are lives. They are futures. Please don’t look away

Urgent update my little brother is dying 😭

Today we took our little brother to the hospital because he suffers from an infection that affects his breathing and causes him pain. I hope that every living conscience will help us save our young son’s life and donate any amount you can.

Unfortunately, there is no treatment in the hospital for my little. Help us before it is too late.
