shayma escaped gaza before the crossing closed and has been struggling to care for her family of 16 in egypt. rent is skyrocketing, and now her brother needs help funding his master's degree. she just lost her childhood friend and her friend's family, she needs support right now.
she didn't ask me to post this, i just wanna show her there's still people out there who care. please help her
Stop shaming people for their body count
Who cares how many people she's killed so long as you love her and she looks pretty with blood on her face.
Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.
Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war
Palestine is free
parents be like you canβt imagine how hard it is for us to deal with your mental illness
Is anyone else ever genuinely shocked when you find out you have an impact on someoneβs life? A coworker can be like βIβve missed seeing youβ and Iβm just like β???? you?? missed me????? My presence has an effect on your daily experience???? I affect things??? W h a t ? ? ?β
btw yall if youre in an elevator and a wheelchair user is trying to get in (or out) - hold the door for them! it can take a minute to get into the elevator/get facing the right direction and our hands are, uh, occupied.
My dear wife turned 28 today
My wife used to work as a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist. She was a help to me and her family. She worked to meet all my childrenβs needs and make them happy, but she lost her job due to the war on Gaza.
In this war, she suffered greatly from cooking food over the fire. She suffered many burns every time she prepared food for us, and she suffered from washing clothes on her hands, until she began to suffer from nerve pain in her left hand.
She cares about the cleanliness of the children and putting them in a better condition. She works hard to do what she can to reduce the difficulty of the war on my children.
I say to her today on the occasion of her birthday, Happy New Year, my dear, and I wish you a better life to come without war.

what im saying is this. and yeah, if every or most of the people in this situation were also masking, that would be perfect - but it only takes a few people's decisions (improving ventilation in an area) to increase the protection of every single person who will ever be in that space. when somebody masks, they're protecting themselves, and if they're sick or contagious, they're protecting the people around them - but only when they're in that space! no matter what we do, short of highly enforced mask mandates (very, very difficult to both put into action and enforce), people are not going to mask everywhere.
and we can say they should. and we can educate people on why they should. and we will! but it is not going to make everyone mask! our energy would all collectively be better used, imo, into educating on the insane improvements in respiratory spread when you improve air circulation. that means a space can become more accessible if only half of people are masking, or even less. and it will make you, dear reader who masks, even MORE protected against illness in ALL spaces.
if i'm being completely honest I can't describe in words how much I don't give a shit cashiers "smile less now" or don't talk to you enough. I used to be a cashier and when I describe the job I currently do (deliveries) where every damn move I make is tracked and displayed on a board publicly with my name calculating productivity people say it sounds dystopian but let me tell you it's heaven compared to cashiering. the tasks of a cashier aren't difficult, but people literally view you as a NPC they can use as a personal punching bag. oh and when you experience verbal abuse and sexual harassment you get to just stand there and endure it. one of my coworkers in her 80s was in tears because of how a customer treated her. she should've been allowed to kill
literally stop saying shit like "this post is like an iceberg passing by" "what spaces are you people IN" "sounds like you need to curate your dash better" "people SAY that??" etc. etc. when people talk about bigotry i know i've said this before but i'm going to keep bitching about it until you dumb fuckers learn to exhibit literally any amount of tact or sympathy instead of doing this bizarre unfunny victim-blamey "i'm so innocent special i've never even Noticed bigotry" schtick on every marginalized person's post that makes you even a little bit uncomfortable
