I saw someone make a genuinely innocent mistake about this again, so please take note!
The number "88" is frequently used as neo-nazi flagging. It's a numerical code for "HH," which means "Heil Hitler." You may also see it in combination with the number 14, referencing the infamous "14 Words." If you ever see "1488" tacked onto someone's username, or posted as a comment, or in a tattoo, that person is a neo-nazi. Full stop.
If you were born in 1988, don't put "88" in your social media handle. People are going to think you are a nazi.
If you didn't know, now you know.

I don't often ask for this, but this out of urgency.
This post is on behalf of Nader @abdalsalam1990, as I have a large following which could help it get traction.
Nader is 17 years old and his family is in Gaza facing dire circumstances. Food is scarce, prices are high, and there are shortages in water. They, like countless others suffering during this war, have already had to relocate many times, and their home is destroyed. They do not have enough money to safely relocate right now, or a stable source of income, as places of work have been destroyed.
Nader had just lost their uncle to the vile Israeli occupiers, and they're desperately asking for donations. Any amount of money can help Nader and his family escape this destruction.
I have donated myself and I know a lot of my followers can afford to donate at least something. It's not a hard donation process, so I hope you take a moment of your day to show some support.

Please help sharing this Gofund around, they are very desperate and need as much help as possible!
Please I really need your help right now... I’m desperately scared of the end of the world because of climate disaster. Is there any hope left? It seems like the bad is outweighing the good more and more lately... I’m scared and I don’t want to die. Please help me... I need some sort of comfort right now...
Hey Anon. I’m so sorry that you’re having a bad time right now. It’s really vital to remember that many news sources thrive on dramatic, attention-getting stories, and it’s easier to accomplish this with bad news than with good. Just because you’re seeing a lot of doom and gloom doesn’t mean that is an accurate or balanced representation of what’s going on in the world.
Here are some posts that I think might help you: X X X X X. You can also find a lot of hopeful and positive news (from small local stories to big developments that have a worldwide impact) if you scroll through this blog.
The most important thing to remember is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You don’t have to save the world alone and you certainly don’t have to deal with your fear alone. There are many other people who feel the same way you do, and even more who are working to make sure that we have a future worth looking forward to. If you can, I really urge you to find a supportive community of other people working to make things better (volunteering is a great way to do this); this can go a long way towards building empowerment and staving off feelings of hopelessness.
I get a lot of asks like this and I wish I could give each and every one of you a hug and look you in the eyes and tell you that it’s going to be ok and that we’ll get through this together. Human societies have faced terrible obstacles with long odds before and come out on the other side. We can do this.
PS If you’re experiencing despair, hopelessness, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts that feel overwhelming and out of your control, please, please reach out to friends and family and seek out psychological resources.
Me booping random people on my dash I dont even know
low on funds, eyad @eyad-alanqe223 and his family have been struggling to piece their life back together after their house was destroyed by israel. eyad had to start a new fundraiser because gofundme froze transfers from his previous one. since then, he has struggled to get enough donations for him and his family.
eyad is a lovely person whom i've had the privilege to speak to for the past two months. please don't ignore his plight at this time. please continue to share and donate to his campaign:
