The rain falls without mercy.
The water that washes streets elsewhere, is flooding our lives here.
Maybe my voice got lost under the rain, but our reality is still clear.
This is just day of Gaza's winter…just one.

Can we get my thread to 400 rt’s by tomorrow? I don’t need money, I’m not asking for anything for myself, I’m just trying to keep my homeless and unhoused family from being used as Warm Fuzzy Feeling Dispensers for Xmas
DO NOT call up the homeless shelter on thanksgiving or Xmas to see if you can pass a few plates and show your kids the “reason for the season”
The homeless shelter is not a petting zoo of human tragedy! The homeless shelter is not a drive thru nativity scene for you to enjoy!

Why is this hard.
Why is this hard.
Hi! Lifelong wheelchair user here! The obsession ableds have with "wheelchairs that can go up stairs" has created a whole bunch of overly expensive boondoggles that are not suitable for genuine use, are phenomenally expensive, and like "exoskeletons", are NOT WHAT disabled folks want or need.
Segway technology actually should be used for adaptive technology, like wheelchairs that can go up and down stairs, which was the whole point of segways.

“He raped me.”
“Donald J Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein.”
“She was found with her head ‘blown off’… there was no way it was a suicide.”
Now we’re starting to see why Trump was hiding the Epstein files, and it probably gets much worse.
