can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike
As others have mentioned, the purpose of Israel banning UNRWA has nothing to do with Hamas or October 7th. It has everything to do with cutting off Palestinians from an international institution that, along with vital aid, provides legal recognition of their right of return. All factions within Israeli politics are committed to erasing the connection of Palestinians to their homeland, promoting instead a racial-supremacist vision of a greater Israel purified of Arab 'savages'. This move, enabled by the Israeli Knesset, is just another expression of that life-destroying vision.
Hello, my name is Basmala Almadhoun, and I’m 19 years old. I come from a family of seven. In 2023, I graduated from high school with a score of 91%, and I had planned to pursue my dream of studying dentistry at university. I had always imagined spending my days studying hard and working toward a brighter future. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to experience any of that, as the war in Gaza shattered my dreams.
The university I was going to attend was completely destroyed 😔💔in a bombing, and since then, my family and I have been living through unimaginable hardships. The Israeli army ordered civilians to evacuate their homes and head to the south of Gaza for safety. My family and I first sought refuge at Al-Nasr Children's Hospital in the north, then moved to my sister’s house in Jabalia. However, just after we arrived, a neighboring house was bombed, partially destroying my sister's home, and we narrowly escaped with our lives.
On November 15, 2023, we were forced to move once again, this time to Deir al-Balah, where we are now living in a small tent, as if we’ve gone back 50 years in time. We cook over an open fire, wash our clothes by hand, and survive without electricity, gas, or the internet. Prices are high, and we can barely afford basic necessities like food, cleaning supplies, and clothing. My father lost his job, leaving us with no source of income.😭💔
An entire year of my life has been lost, and so has my dream. By now, I should have completed my first year of university. I am asking for help not just to survive, but to rebuild my life and future.
To reunite my family and help us temporarily relocate to a safe place.
To have hope for a new beginning and a chance to recover from the devastation of war.
To rebuild our home and find proper shelter.
To resume my studies abroad and finally pursue my dream of studying dentistry at a prestigious university.

🌱✨ "A New Dawn Amid the Ashes" ✨🌱
Hello, my name is Jaber, a 13-year-old from Gaza. My family and I once lived in peace, surrounded by laughter and dreams. But in an instant, everything changed 💔. Our home, the school I loved, and even some of the dearest members of my family were taken from us by war.
Now, all I have left is my mother, Maysaa, who suffers from a heart condition, and my siblings, who are my only remaining comfort. Every day, we struggle to rebuild what we’ve lost, searching for even a glimpse of hope amid the ruins 🕯️🌄.
I am sharing my story because I believe in the kindness of others. With your support, we could take the first steps toward a new beginning 🕊️. Any help, however small, could be the light that guides us out of this darkness. Thank you from the depths of my heart for any compassion you can offer ❤️🙏.

Hiii, i’ve taken an interest in reading the manga series of Crows x Worst from your masterlist. But i’ve noticed that there are sequels to it and the internet is not giving me a direct answer as to what to read first 😭 , it says Crows was the first series published but that Crowz ZERO is the prequel, pls help meeeee.
You have no idea how happy this makes me! ❤ I can absolutely help you, so let me put together a little guide for you and anyone else interested in Takahashi Hiroshi's delinquent universe. Fellow fans can always correct me or add to the list. This is just my personal recommendation. Click on the underlined titles to read it!
Crows: The golden classic and first chronological work featuring the Suzuran delinquent school.
Sono Go No Crows: Optional one-shot set after Crows and before Worst. You don't have to read it, but it offers a smoother transition, and you get to know some characters in advance.
Worst: Continuation to Crows, although with a new protagonist and new characters.
Saigo no Worst: Sequel, takes place one year after Worst has ended.
Side-stories/Gaidens/Other works
Crows ZERO: Prequel to Crows, although written years later. Different cast, and you won't find it online because no group has scanlated/translated it. You can watch the live action movie instead.
Crows ZERO II: Follow-up to the first part, and covers the second movie. Drawn by Tetsuhiro Hirakawa (Author of Clover, another delinquent manga I recommend).
Crows EXPLODE: Sequel to the Crows ZERO saga. Also drawn by Tetsuhiro Hirakawa, only found it translated to Vietnamese.
Crows Gaiden - Katagiri Ken Monogatari: One-shot featuring the Crows ZERO protagonist.
Crows Gaiden: Collection of short stories featuring some of the Crows characters.
Crows Gaiden: Linda Linda: Backstory of Crows character Rindaman in his middle-school years.
Harumichi: Side-story featuring Crows protagonist, Bouya Harumichi.
Next Crows Supplementary Story: Crows side-series, not translated. I have the Japanese raws if you're interested.
Worst Gaiden: Backstories for some of the characters (such as the Umehoshi brothers).
We are the Worst!: Character databook. Couldn't find it online, but I have the Japanese raw scans if you're interested.
Worst Gaiden Dokuro: Backstory of Kawachi Tesshou, only the one-shot was translated to English.
Worst Gaiden Mr. Zetton: Sequel about Zetton becoming a high-school teacher
QP: Set in the same Crows x Worst universe, but it deals with actual gangs and not high-school characters.
QP Gaiden: Collection of side-stories
Kiku: Takahashi Hiroshi's first delinquent manga predating Crows x Worst.
Jank Runk Family: Takahashi Hiroshi's newest series (ongoing), a crossover with OREN's survival manga (included it because it does have delinquent vibes).
Crows Ladies: Genderbend AU
Plus a nice visual guide I found while searching online translations, it has some extra titles I haven't mentioned
My name is Shada Kassab, and I am a 24-year-old mother living in Gaza. Every day is a fight for survival for me, my husband Hussein, and our baby boy Adam, who is just five months old.
Our lives have been turned upside down by war. My home has been reduced to rubble, and my husband lost his water truck, which was our only source of income. We’ve been forced to evacuate twice—from Deir el Balah to the Nuseirat camp—and now, we live in constant fear of what the future holds.
To make matters worse, Adam was born with clubfoot and urgently needs surgery. The cost for his treatment and specialized medical boots is at least $3000, but this surgery isn’t even possible in Gaza.
I recently graduated as a nurse, and I dream of building a better life for my family. But to do that, we must leave Gaza and start over in safety.
💔 I need your help to save my family and give Adam a future. Even a small donation 5$ can bring us closer to safety, and if you can’t donate, sharing our story means the world to us.
I dream of living in safety, of seeing Adam grow up healthy, and of building a better life for us all. Please don’t give up on us. Your kindness can make all the difference.
❤️ Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your support and compassion give us strength to keep going.
HI I finished drawing all the Frosty Time ghouls :] This is how they live in my head no discussion. Going to work on Vag Strong next <3
I Did mispell Kaito's last name but i'm not fixing it I think we can all just mentally swap the two letters around
Stand with us 🍉🍉🍉
This is me, Mother of Ahmed from Gaza 🍉🇵🇸🍉, here small message from Ahmed:
I have autism, which means I sometimes find things a bit hard. Before the war, I used to go to therapy sessions to help me, but now I can't because of the war. I get really nervous and fidgety, and I don't talk much. Mom really wants to take me somewhere where I can get better and be like other kids.
I'd really appreciate it if you would share my donation campaign in your blog.
This donation campaign will be soon vetted by: @el-shab-hussein @moayesh @nabulsi
Thanks in advance
