Rana has many unique photos, social media in Gaza that predates the war and is friends with @itsmeio.bsky.social whom I’ve shared before.

Rana didn’t know about fundraising links until recently and her family has been really struggling to survive. She’s hoping to get Hamoud the care he needs.

LOLLL This reminds me of when Amazon shut down @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social's affiliate account with them and refused to give us the money we had made because they they deemed our site as "porn" (citing specific comics), while THEY WERE SELLING OUR BOOKS WHICH CONTAINED THOSE EXACT SAME COMICS 😂

Alex Degen (Magic Serple 2025) @adactivity.bsky.social · 19h

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa
