As the days pass, the worry of rent and food remains what weighs on me the most — just to keep my children safe and stable.😓
We’ve come this far thanks to your kind hearts.
Please, help me secure one more month of peace and stability for them.🙏

I ask you, from my heart — be part of this step. ❤️

‼️ My internet connection is very weak I’m still in the displacement camps. Can anyone tell if there are any eSIM that work in the Al-Mawasi area near the beach? It’s really urgent. ‼️ 😔

That’s right, a new falcon, meaning a new 1-week drive for the six families of the giving circle ❤️‍🔥 As the situation remains life-and-death, WE REMAIN HERE. They need:

- Transportation back north
- Tents
- Food
- Winter & baby clothes

what an incredible sin it is that anyone should die of exposure or starvation in this age where we can create such incredible abundance that most of it gets thrown away or destroyed when it doesn't sell

I can personally vouch for Raghad she lives in the same camp as I do.
Please, help her and her sick mother. Her mother’s condition is severe; she suffers from partial paralysis and can barely move inside the tents..

Rn.raghad @nurseraghad.bsky.social · 3h

My family and I are living in tents now, and my mother is sick. You know that a sick person cannot tolerate living in a tent they need a clean environment. Unfortunately, we are not in a clean place. You know how hard life in tents is sleeping on sand, having insects inside.🥺💔

I mean the fact of the matter is Opera Omnia was far and away their best gacha game, but part of what made it good was how it tried to kinda be a real video game, which is a great way to lose money in the mobile market

One of my most anticipated books of this year! We need guidance and true rest and clarity based in shared reality and collectivism.

I believe this book will be crucial to our organizing not only enduring, but becoming more desirable for those now activating under rising global authoritarianism.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
