Heads up: the House is marking up the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) today.
I know we're all tired, but please CALL YOUR REPS.
The Kids Online Safety Act is still a super dangerous bill that would censor social media and endanger your privacy online. The GOP supports it because they can use it to drive LGBTQIA+ people off the internet. Please keep calling!
i was standing in line for a ride at the fair and these guys in front of me were counting their tickets and they just handed me??? some of their tickets??? and now i have like 7 extra tickets and idk what to do with them
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.
gonna post fun facts abt my characters soon : ) ngl idk how else to post their storylines so I'll just explain them through facts or something lmfao
Thanks for the ask
yeah ofc!
Hello 🖐
I am aya living in North Gaza with my three children, and we are facing starvation in the northern region. We have moved more than 13 times trying to find a safe place, but there is no safety anywhere.
I am asking for your help to protect my children and get us out of this imminent danger😥.
Your donations and sharing of my story will greatly contribute to our survival.🙏🙏
https://gofund.me/7dc97966
I hope your family evacuates and you all get the stable sources you need soon
Their gofundme is linked above!^^
My friend Bilal @bilal-salah0 is in Germany tirelessly campaigning for the rest of his 18 family members in Gaza to escape genocide.
The German government is planning to deport Bilal on August 15th. With the stress of resisting this act of genocide, and potentially finding a new place to live, he cannot afford to campaign for his family alone. We have to help him as much as we can!!!
He is less than €9,000 away from his goal of €70,000! Please donate and share. No amount is too small, even a $5 donation will bring his family closer to safety.
Along with the kids depicted in my art, Bilal's family includes three newborn babies who are facing malnutrition because baby formula is scarcely available.
He is vetted on line 136 of Nairuz and Hussein's spreadsheet.
There's also a raffle where you can get a chance to win a Collector's Edition copy of the A Wrinkle in Time series by Madeleine L'Engle.
EDIT 8-04-24: Bilal informed me that because the Rafah Crossing has been closed since may and bombed, he is unable to use the funds to evacuate his family and must instead redirect them toward survival until they can safely evacuate. Check his blog for more information. The goal is now €100,000.
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard
