I miss my home so much😥💔
This is something I could not have imagined in my worst dreams
You say everything is compensated, but this is not true at all
What do I need to do to compensate?
I always suffer from , shortness of breath, deep sadness, and an open wound forever and ever.
Our pain for you is great, Gaza, a great and great pain that destroyed everything sweet inside us, Gaza 😥💔

The Mitchells vs. The Machines (2021) dir. Mike Rianda
Amidst the war, airstrikes and destruction, my family in Gaza is living a silent tragedy. Between the drone of warplanes and explosions, another sound echoes... the sound of empty stomachs. We all sit in the corner of our tent, waiting for a meal that may never come.
My family has not eaten vegetables or meat for more than three months. Day after day, something else is missing: yesterday it was fruit, today it is flour - a distant dream because of its scarcity and high price.
Will you let us suffer? Will you allow the sound of hunger to be louder than the voice of your conscience?
Donate to my family and help keep them alive. What might be your next meal is an unattainable dream for them.
i feel like this is important enough to put on here.
if you have any videos on youtube make sure this is unchecked
If you are a British/UK citizen, there is currently a petition running (with only 125 signatures) that ends in June 2025. The petition calls for the government to make it so that you do not need a diagnosis of gender dysphoria to change your gender.
If you are a British/UK citizen, and would like to sign:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/701159
If you're not a British/ UK citizen it'd be much appreciated if you could share this post !! :)
You can also sign it if you're a UK resident - you spend 6 months or more in a 12 month period living in the UK. No need to be a citizen.
This means that if you have a visa, EU settlement status, indefinite leave to remain etc. you can still sign it and it'll be valid

The New York Times, New York, January 3, 1897
History in a nutshell
Hello, I am Abdullah, a young man who lives with my elderly parents who suffer from difficult health conditions. I take care of them myself in a simple tent that has become unresistant to the cold and rain, which increases our daily suffering.
With the onset of the harsh winter, our lives have become at risk due to the rain and wind that seeps into the tent. For this reason, I need your support to raise $7,000 to renovate the tent using metal panels that give us warmth and security, in addition to purchasing the necessary medications for my parents’ treatment.
Every dollar you donate makes a huge difference in our lives, whether it is in providing better shelter or necessary treatment for my sick parents.
If you would like to know more about my condition or would like to join a support group dedicated to my campaign where we can discuss details and exchange ideas, you can join us here:From here the group
I feel like ive seen quite a few gfms getting passed around and ive observed that a lot of them have stories of such exceptional people who have achieved so much, or were going to before the genocide cut it off. And i really commend them for it, i really do.
But it breaks my heart that palestinians reaching out to us feel the need to have to prove that they are they are good people who are worth the support, like theyre only worth being supported if they had a good gpa or were exceptional in some way.
They shouldnt have to prove that theyre beneficial to the economy somehow to be worth the support. They shouldnt have to be exceptional to deserve help. Our governments are putting them through this, both in the west and around the world too. They shouldnt have to prove anything. We owe them this
Ok this got a lot of notes unexpectedly so gonna link a few fundraisers here of people who reached out to me.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT VET FUNDRAISERS. I COULDNT EVEN IF I WANTED TO AS I AM NOT PALESTINIAN.

The H5N1 (bird flu) virus is going around, and cats are proving especially susceptible to it. A big cat sanctuary in Washington state had TWENTY of their big cats (cougars, tigers, etc) die of bird flu.
There have also been cases of indoor-only domestic cats getting sick or even dying of bird flu after contracting it from raw cat food. And of course coming into contact with birds also puts your cat at risk.
To keep your cat safe:
A lot of raw pet food companies are using PR speak to assure customers that their raw food is safe. Remember that at the end of the day their priority is to make money and stay in business. Unless they are testing every bird carcass for the virus their assurances are meaningless, and they certainly are not testing every bird because it would be too expensive.
Cooking kills most viruses and bacteria, including H5N1.
Link to CBS article. Keep your babies safe, everyone.
Just to be clear re: animals being evolved to eat raw food, I mean, all animals evolved to eat food raw but there is a reason cooking it beneficial and why we cook it. The main positive people think about is that cooked meat is easier to digest, the main negative is cooking it can damage some types of proteins in it.
But cooking meat also kills microbes and parasites and it will last longer when stored properly without spoiling. Cooked meat are supplemented for the handful of proteins that degrade when cooking.
There is no evidence that cats fed raw meat grow faster, or even that cooked meat is less nutritious for them. Cats and dogs need a balanced diet with a variety of meat tissues. Dogs are technically omnivores so an all-meat diet could have negative, not positive, impacts on digestion. Raw food diets risk exposing humans and pets to Salmonella and other dangerous bacteria.
That's not to say homemade pet food or whole meat is unsafe for pets, its particularly good for pets with allergy issues, but the idea that raw = natural = better doesn't have any solid evidence behind it, just companies exploiting peoples desire to give their pets the best possible care.
Recipe for guilt-free doughnuts.
it was the “no matter how fat or thin you are you will eventually die so you might as well enjoy life while you have it” that figuratively clocked me in the head with a two by four
gosh i love this post
Ibrahim is 15 years old, and he and his family are in desperate need of help, dealing with dire circumstances such as food shortages, high prices on basic necessities, and low supplies of fresh water.
The war has caused immense suffering for many displaced Palestinians, including Ibrahim and his family, who have lost everything. Additionally, his mother is suffering from a chronic illness.
Any amount of money can help Ibrahim and his family survive and possibly escape the war-torn area.
So far, €37,325 has been raised, and we need to reach the goal of €50,000. Any contribution makes a difference, and I’m asking everyone to support this cause.
Help him here:

more people would exercise if this culture didn't make it absolute hell
I teach martial arts. we play games with the little kids. they swordfight with noodles and throw foam balls at each other. in the summer, we take them out into the parking lot with water guns. in the winter, we have snowball fights.
the teenagers get swords and staffs and practice knives. we teach them moves from marvel movies that they ask about. they get squirt guns and snowball fights too. we let them goof off and climb the support beams and charge directly at each other in padded suits.
sometimes parents say they miss doing things like that. I tell them, "stay for an adult class. just try it out." we build obstacle courses and let them mess around with training rifles. they chat while sparring. we scream and cheer for them when they're in the middle of a circle. and then we send them out to the parking lot with squirt guns and snowballs.
it's exercise. it's healthy. it's an important life skill. and it's fun as fuck.
This is one of the forgotten but imo super harmful symptoms of diet culture-exercise being relegated to weight loss rather than jist enjoying using and being in your body.
Don’t like the gym? Ok, go find a line dancing club. A Tai Chi class. Play Just Dance every day. Arrange a tag football team. Go to a trampoline park.
Using our bodies shouldn’t be a chore assigned in shame.
Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.
