im fucking sobbing why did they kill him twice in a row in the community notes

Every time a story is like "this enlightened civilization solved war, scarcity, and disease but doing so only made life boring and meaningless because you need Suffering for anything to be worthwhile" I just wonder how they even made it that far with seemingly not even a concept of games or simulated conflict in general.

Especially bad when this is a civilization so advanced and utopian that they could conceivably rewire their own brain chemistry to just not have those sorts of needs in the first place.

It's so weird when you think about it, isn't it? "A world without struggle has no satisfaction" is probably fair enough, but why does the struggle need to have such high stakes? Why would anyone need to suffer and die for real for it to mean something?

Empirically people are perfectly content to challenge themselves through things that will have no major negative consequences for failure, and it seems reasonable to believe this would continue to be the case if all the problems in their personal life were solved.

It kind of reminds me of the trope of the rich character who is bored and dissatisfied with life and tries to make it into a thing about how money doesn't buy happiness but really they just clearly have no hobbies or interests and don't know how to entertain themselves beyond just buying even more positional goods.

help shimaa from gaza buy a computer to retain her clients!

hi everyone! i hope you are doing well. thank you for helping shimaa and ahmed's family so far. i am here today to ask for your help for our friend @itsshimaa200. this time, we are purchasing a new computer. her computer has recently been bluescreening and has not functioned well enough for her to continue using it.

unfortunately, this poses a large issue for her family, as throughout the genocide shimaa has continued to work with her existing clients in the field of graphic design to support her family through these dark times. normally, with the money that she earns from her graphic design commissions, she is able to support her chronically ill nephew, jihad. he suffers from a lifelong condition that affects his liver and spleen, and needs regular doses of medicine in order to be healthy.

(this picture is of shimaa before the genocide, hard at work!)

please help us gather funds for her to retain her clients and keep her family in good health! our goal for this fundraising campaign will be $1500. however, the more money we raise, the more options shimaa has in choosing 1) what kind of laptop to get, and 2) what additional amenities, such as food, water, rent, and medicine, she can get.

the easiest way to donate is via our campaign’s paypal that simk has set up:

(alternatively, you can use paypal.me/qquwq or via simk’s P/P email: [email protected].)

how it works:

per shimaa’s request, simk and i are collecting money on her behalf. we will continue to wire transfer the money to shimaa as soon as the goal is reached. since there is a $100 flat withdrawal fee for any money sent, we try to make sure that we send as big a lump sum as possible so that shimaa and ahmed get the most use out of the money we collect. the money takes around 3-5 days to arrive.

once the money arrives, shimaa will get herself a new computer so that she can continue her graphic design work. i will share selected videos and photos on my blog so that you all can see what we can do with our collective efforts!

a small note here: to preserve shimaa’s privacy, and to avoid issues with the tumblr staff, i will be careful with what i choose to show publicly. if you have any other specific requests you would like to see as proof of your donation going to good use, please DM me.

you are also free to speak to @itsshimaa200 if you have any questions! thank you again for your generous support in our campaigns. these past few weeks have been hard for every gazan with israel's ongoing siege on the gaza strip. markets were empty, and famine was spreading. it may not feel like much, but every goal we reach feels like a little bit of hope for shimaa and ahmed's family, along with the people of the refugee camp may not have a way to support themselves. thank you for your generous spirits! please spread this campaign widely.

Hello my dear friends🇵🇸

I am Raghad Ayyad from Gaza, specifically from the Shuja'iyya area in northern Gaza. I am 19 years old, a second-year pharmacy student.👩‍⚕️❤

I belong to a family who have been displaced since the beginning of the war from the north to the central area, which is supposed to be safe. I have been displaced more than 6 times within the central area to escape the bombing that is chasing us everywhere.

Ten days ago, with the deterioration of the situation and the continued bombing in the central area, orders were issued to evacuate the area in which we live. We were forcibly displaced for the seventh time to Khan Yunis.

Now we live in a tent that is completely uninhabitable, but we cannot find another place.🥺💔

My father is paralyzed in his right leg. Several months before the war, he underwent hip replacement surgery in Egypt. He was supposed to return to Egypt to complete his treatment, but the war prevented him from completing the treatment he desperately needs. He still suffers from continuous and severe pain, to the point that painkillers are no longer effective, if they exist, because the medications are not available to him in Gaza.

My dream and my father's dream was to graduate from the Faculty of Pharmacy, which I loved so much. I was doing my best to get the highest grades, and my father promised me that he would establish my own pharmacy as soon as I graduated from university, but the occupation destroyed my dream and my father's dream by demolishing my university and everything we owned. I lost a whole academic year, and the second year will start while we are still in this war, and I fear that I will lose another academic year. All I want is to get out with my family and survive this genocide so that I can achieve my dream and continue my studies and graduate from the Faculty of Pharmacy, and continue treating my paralyzed father.

I am not the only one in the family who lost an academic year. My sister Basma was supposed to finish her high school studies and then move on to university, but she lost her academic year, and my brother Mazen and my sister Nuha, who are studying in middle school, also lost an academic year.

We all dream of completing our education. We all need to get out of this genocide to complete and rebuild our lives, and this is not easy after everything we lost in this war. It will take us a long time to rebuild our lives.

I urge everyone who supports Palestine, especially those who support education and treatment, to help me and my family.

We depend on you and we have no hope but you.✌✌

I would be grateful to all of you if you stand by us and support us.❤

STOP! Help Aya and her family survive!

For over a year now, Aya and her family have been struggling under genocide.

They were displaced from their home back in 2023, and since have been in horrid conditions. They are forced to make do without access to water, cooking oil, or electricity, and can only heat themselves with firewood.

Aya's grandmother and father are both in poor health. Her grandmother suffers from chronic illness, and is being forced to walk hundreds of kilometers each displacement despite her barely being able to walk at all. She is deteriorating in her condition, as she cannot access any medical care in Ghazzah. Her father has high blood pressure and also is unable to receive medical care, and yet is overexerting himself to support his family.

The whole family is suffering mentally, too. Aya feels that her passions have been completely snuffed by the genocide; her brother feels similarly about his own life and has become depressed.

They also are all unable to work anymore, destroying their income. This is very dangerous in a place like Ghazzah, where prices for even the smallest bit of food or medicine are exorbitant.

In order for Aya and her family to evacuate into Egypt and rebuild their lives, they need to raise €35,000. So far, they've only raised €746 and had only 1 donation in the last day.

Please, please help them. Donate if you can and share their campaign. Every contribution matters.

Help Us Evacuate Gaza

Hello everyone, I am Ghazi Alamoudi from the northern Gaza Strip, displaced in Deir Al-Balah, and living in a tent with my family.😢🥺

My family and I are facing unimaginable hardship due to the ongoing war in Gaza. We have lost our home, my career, and our sense of safety. Now, we are living in a small tent, trying to survive each day amidst the chaos and destruction.

Before the war, I worked as an instructional designer, building a future for my family. But that life has been shattered. We are now desperate to find safety and start over. But we need your help. We are trying to raise funds to escape Gaza and rebuild our lives in a place where we can finally find peace.

Before — This was my life before the war, filled with hope and promise.

After — This is what remains after the destruction.

What once stood as a symbol of hope, my Home is now nothing but shattered walls and debris. I had just finished building our home, a place where I could finally feel safe. But in the blink of an eye, everything was destroyed by the ongoing war. The sounds of explosions filled the air, and I fled with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Now, where our memories and dreams once lived, all that remains is devastation.

🚨Urgent update🚨

For the second time, my family and I are displaced in the same devastated city, Dier Al-Balah. This time, we are living on muddy ground. When it rains, the land turns into a swamp, making it nearly impossible to move. Even when it's dry, the water on the surface creates unbearable conditions. the extreme weather makes it even worse. In winter, the cold and rain are unbearable, and in summer, the heat is suffocating. We have nothing stable to hold on to. We have been forced to flee from place to place, seeking safety in a city that offers none. Every move is filled with fear and uncertainty, hoping that this war will finally end. We are exhausted, but we must keep going.

Not only that but Even finding something as simple as a pair of shoes has become a struggle, and become a rare luxury in Gaza, they’re too expensive to afford. Walking on rough, muddy ground without proper shoes has made life even more painful. We’re trying to survive with the bare minimum, but every day brings new challenges.

Please consider helping us by donating or sharing our story — every bit of support makes a difference.

Please, if you can find it in your heart, help us find safety 😭🙏. Even the smallest act of kindness can light up our darkest hours, offering us a chance to rebuild our shattered lives. Your compassion could be the turning point between despair and a new beginning 🥺❤🫂🫂.

Please share and support

Living in Gaza has shown me the true meaning of survival, but it’s also made me long for a life beyond fear and uncertainty. 💔 Every day, I face questions that weigh on my heart, questions that reflect my dreams, my fears, and my hope for a better tomorrow. 🙏 I’m sharing these with you, hoping that someone out there might hear our plea and help turn these struggles into a brighter future:

Am I afraid to die? Yes, because I want to see a world beyond war and feel the warmth of freedom.

Do I want to leave Gaza? Yes, because my family deserves to live without fear, without the constant sound of bombs.

Do I dream of safety? Yes, because I want to wake up to hope, not to the echoes of destruction.

Am I asking for help? Yes, because I believe in the kindness of those who can give us a chance for a brighter future.

Do I want a better life? Yes, because my family deserves peace, and I want to build a future beyond the shadows of war.

Please help me reach my goal soon 🙏

Palestinians in Gaza are expecting the crossing to open for supplies soon. Donate to Ahmed's campaign so he can stock up and deliver essential supplies to as many people as possible!

Every single donation will be matched up to 35 USD.

Campaign details, including vetting and proof of aid distributed, found here. This is being organized by two close friends of mine!

Donations have really slowed down. Let’s not waste this opportunity! Double your impact!

5$ = 10$

$494000 / $500000

Guys they're nearly there!

Please share and donate if you can to help the Khartoum Kitchen!

the thing is they really do let you hit because you're goofy.

i say shit like "whuh oh!" and it makes girls want to kiss me under moonlight for some reason

people will say this so many times. and no one will ever process it.

y'know when jessica rabbit is asked what she sees in her cringefail man? and she's like "He makes me laugh"? That's a real thing.

If you are fun to be around, that's just how it goes. It's literally that easy. Be an enjoyable person. Be adorable, be funny, be something that makes them *want* to be around you. Seriously, actually. And don't strive to be pretty either, cause you won't be for long. Strive to be charming.

PayPal has fired employees after they have sent a letter to management about Zionists groupchats!

As you may know, the crowdfunding platform has shut down fundraising services on October 7th, a year into the accelerated genocide. No one can create a fundraiser for themselves, and those who have an existing one have to finish raising funds before January 12th, 2025.

Now, a former employee has stepped forward and revealed the fact that they have been terminated on Twitter. They have also shed light on the fundraising situation that are made for Palestinians.

Knowing this information, a letter has been sent to management, but of course, they have been fired.

Iyad Sohbe (@iyadsohbegaza) and Ruba Abushaban (@rubashsblog) are my friends from Ghazzah who are raising funds with PayPal after GFM deletes their fundraiser or suspends their account. Iyad has lost 11K while Ruba loses access to 27K!

We have LESS THAN 3 MONTHS help them raise the amount - 60K - but donations would either trickle in little by little, or stop completely. We can't afford to do that. We need to raise $600 USD per DAY, but we are getting less than $100 USD!

So I don't understand why people are failing to see the urgency or why they are waiting for someone to do it in their stead. Especially when you can give a DOLLAR. It is more than enough. So please donate and share. We are running out of time, and we are at risk at deletion once again! ! !

Rememebr: this is all for Iyad and Ruba and their families. Iyad is diabetic, needs medication, and he has 5 young children aged 5, 7, 10, 13, and 14. Ruba sustains a stomach injury from a displacement and has been hospitalized. They are in Nuseirat, an area that is prone to IOF's increased violence!

You can match me! I've given $10 USD! You can also participate in an art raffle hosted by @/heliopixels if you show your proof of donation and are a fan of Transformer! You can also partake in other art and writing commissions if you click on 'Keep Reading'!

Verification: #90 for Ruba and #173 for Iyad in the Spreadsheet. (Keep in mind that the document has not been updated and does not reflect the current fundraiser. You can learn about it here.)

$16,925 / $17,000 USD

Hey, we are literally have $75 USD to achieve the short-term goal of 17K! So please keep donating and sharing! We are supposed to raise 600 USD per DAY, but we are struggling to raise a minuscule amount! Let's do better guys!

You can also participate in the art raffle hosted by @/heliopixels if you are a fan of Transformer! It begins tomorrow, so check it out, join in, and be part of the fun!
