Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.

Khatija Possum Nampijimpa — My Great Grandmother's Country and Seven Sisters Dreaming (synthetic polymer paints on canvas, 2021)

Anyway.

Hand on my heart. Hand on my stupid heart.

Meditations in an Emergency, by Cameron Awkward-Rich.

I wake up & it breaks my heart. I draw the blinds & the thrill of rain breaks my heart. I go outside. I ride the train, walk among the buildings, men in Monday suits. The flight of doves, the city of tents beneath the underpass, the huddled mass, old women hawking roses, & children all of them, break my heart. There's a dream I have in which I love the world. I run from end to end like fingers through her hair. There are no borders, only wind. Like you, I was born. Like you, I was raised in the institution of dreaming. Hand on my heart. Hand on my stupid heart.

I know writers who take the time to edit their rants before publishing them, and they're all cowards. Fresh off the print, here's my longform view on some of the major takeaways from this presidential election

Shortened, my argument is:

Finding out that World Athletics pays $100k every time a new world record is set so so Mondo Duplantis has just been setting it 1cm at a time from 6.17m to 6.25m in the past 4 years is so funny??? Finessing 1 million dollars 1 cm at a time even though he can clearly go higher at one shot???? #respect

Financial scam cause how has he gone and done it a month after doing it

If he has that kind of precision he deserves to be able to do this

For the goths and ghouls 🥀 An old one from Blacktober 2020 I know people really enjoyed. :-)

wanted to share my favorite tiktok

this has a very Vine energy and I like it

[Video ID:

There is a poster on a store wall that says ‘Halloween is here,’ but there is a line break separating ‘Halloween’ to ‘Hallo’ and ‘Ween.’

Man behind camera: Hallo! Ween is here!

The camera pans to another man who strums a small string instrument.

Other man: I am Ween

End ID]

What’s the description leaves out is that “Hallo! Ween is here!” Is said in a very silly, perky German accent.

This has been stuck in my head for WEEKS

I swear to god one of these days were going to see a video of Amaury Guichon and he's going to be making some wings and they are going to look dope as hell, the detail of each feather will be breathtaking, he'll spray paint them to perfection, but as the video goes on, he's not building any sort of winged creature, just the wings. And then there's a human-sized harness (also made of chocolate, somehow, he can do it). And he's attaching the wings to the harness. And he's putting the harness on and he demonstrates how he can flap the wings. And then he'll be off. Out the window and up and up and up. And we'll be looking at the livestream (it's a livestream now) and we'll scream "No, Amaury, the sun! It's going to melt the wings!". But he knows this already. And he is free.

if anyone is trying to donate to help in Gaza through orgs, these ones were just banned by the Israeli government with no reason given and can no longer operate in Gaza (at least for now).

these are the orgs: Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association, Glia Project, Palestinian American Bridge, PalMed, Baitulmaal, FAJR, Palestinian American Medical Association, Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund

from what i’ve been told by people who have been working in/coordinating aid in Gaza, Palestinian Red Crescent Society, World Central Kitchen, and Anera are unaffected by this order, but everyone has been limited in what they can bring in. while the middle two aren’t medical orgs, they have been bringing in some medicine. PRCS is a red cross affiliate providing medical care.

(not trying to sway anyone’s donations but wanted to put this out there since PCRF has been the org i’ve recommended several people donate to previously.)

They also explicitly ban medical workers of Palestinian descent from entering Gaza btw

Disgusting, rats running about outside the blog. Inside it was dirty and horrible atmosphere, everyone is doing drugs of some sort. Would not recommend, spent 2 minutes scrolling immediately left. Mutuals also unpleasant.

Hello.🚨🚨.. I am Hani from Palestine from Gaza and I am talking to you with a sad heart about what happened to me and my family, I was seriously injured in the war in my left foot since March 2024, and until today I have not received treatment. I am married and have 3 children Abdullah, Salma and Saleh, my wife Nour gave birth to a baby girl, but unfortunately as a result of the war, my child died due to lack of food and water, air pollution and lack of money. If you can't do this, share my story until I get to safety and achieve my goal.

Why it looks like so much to mr.J...I can't understand after a half day but it's Mr.J......

Save my life 🩸🙏

I am Kawthar Zeyad Ramadan from Gaza, I am 29 years old.

I live every day war, destruction and fear, a feeling that can only be described by those who live it.

War is not easy, as I lost part of my family, my home and my work.

I graduated from university with a high grade and worked as a fashion designer and opened my own project because it was my hobby from the beginning.

I developed and succeeded in my field, but the war came and I lost everything in a moment.

My work was my source of livelihood for my family, so because of it there was no longer any source of income.

Also, my mother has been suffering from kidney failure for years and needs dialysis 3 times a week.

Because of the war, she suffered from going to the hospital in danger and long distances.

Also, the lack of adequate care caused her severe fatigue and hospitals became an unhealthy place because of the large numbers who needed treatment.

I had many ambitions and dreams that I wanted to achieve and succeed and become a famous fashion designer.

All we wanted was to survive the war. We were forced to be displaced more than 10 times at least.

We suffer a lot from the tent as we lived the summer with its extreme heat as it is made of poor quality nylon

And from insects and diseases

And now winter has come and we are drowning in the tents and the extreme cold

We fear death every day, we love life

Your help by donating even a small amount is able to save my life and my family's from death

Every €15 or €20 will contribute to saving

my family
