These were our last messages. His account was deleted before I could reply.
Screenshot of the tail end of a bsky message conversation with Sakher, as follows: ME: I think it's possible that messages that aren't responded to might be why you keep getting deleted. I don't have confirmation of that, but I will try harder to reply when you message rather than simply reposting. I worry about taking up too much of your limited time and energy, but it might help with the constant deletions. I think that the lack of donations might also be due to people here in the US who are feeling the effects of social programs being paused or cut off completely. It's a dangerous time. SAKHER: Thank you so much for your message and your care — it really means a lot to me. Yes, l've been noticing that accounts with no replies or "one-way" posts get removed more often, so even a small reply helps keep the account alive. I really appreciate it more than you know. And I totally understand the situation in the U.S. — I know it's hard for many people too. I never expect anyone to give more than they can. Just knowing you're here, sharing and caring, gives me strength. Thank you for being here.

In semi-related news: hey everyone, look at this thing I just made
The meme known as "Woman Yelling At A Cat", but I have altered it such that it is David the Gnome who is angrily gesturing while Swift the fox holds him back. Who is he so mad at? It's a troll! He's taken the defiant cat's seat of all things! His face drips with smugness as he fondles his chin and leans his head back with closed eyes, as if imagining something he desires. Sick.

I came back today and opened my messages to find this. Making the words you wrote inaccessible to me and others you wrote to is abominable. My hands are shaking with anger as I type. You deserve so much better than this. Best wishes for safety and health to you, Reem, and your families. 🍉

Somehow he found a way to make it worse.
A Norwegian Nazi propaganda poster featuring Fenrir, a red snarling wolf, scratching at a shield while being stabbed. The translated text reads, "Alarm! Sign up as a frontline fighter." A clip from The University of Wisconsin's article titled "Norse Mythology and Nazi Propaganda", written by Aidan Neher of Carleton College. It reads as follows: "Again, Fenrir's role in Norse mythology parallels the aims of Nazi propaganda in Scandinavia. The Nazis professed that if the Soviets were not sufficiently repressed, they would rise like Fenrir to kill. This allusion by the Nazis to Norse mythology in their propaganda has regrettably fostered greater association between Nazism and Viking lore."

This is his former campaign manager. Not a good look, champ.
A Facebook post from Genevieve McDonald. I've run out of self-restraint, worse than when the guys on the train to Boston were fan boying over Reds Eats. The DC consultant class has fucked up our US Senate race again and you all need to stop snipping at each other. This is seriously the dumbest timeline. Graham has an anti-Semitic tattoo on his chest. He's not an idiot, he's a military history buff. Maybe he didn't know it when he got it, but he got it years ago and he should have had it covered up because he knows damn well what it means. His campaign released it themselves to some podcast bros, along with a video of him shirtless and drunk at a wedding to try to get ahead of it. The vault is open for the GOP to fucking crush any dreams we had in the general and literally everyone I know is fighting with each other on social media. We cannot be this painfully stupid.

Richard Ward is a neo-Nazi city council candidate who wrote this nasty little screed. No one should be supporting Graham Platner. No matter what he says, these people see him as one of their own. Fucking dangerous.
This is the first part of Richard Ward's letter to the Maine State Legislature . Richard Ward Portland LD 227 Leftist media keeps pushing the LGBT narrative to confuse children and sicken our society. The western world is the only place where this filth is tolerated. We need to stand against the pedophiliac degenerate cult. An Islamic nation would never tolerate this, Its disgusting to see leftist cheer for drag queen shows with kids, to convince children they are the wrong gender and encourage surgical genital mutilation. Leave the kids alone. How can regular people who just want to be left alone coexist with a group that literally want to rape and kill children. If liberals cant abort babies theyll try to rape them. What is a woman? The Cambridge dictionary says-A woman is an adult female human being Does taking hormone blockers make you a woman? Does castrating yourself make you a woman? Does dressing up make you a woman? Does believing you're a woman make you a woman? No doing all of these things just makes you a mentally ill man. It's wrong for society to cater to a seriously ill minority of people and expect us to go along with their delusional thinking. When someone suffers from schizophrenia we don't reinforce the delusions as truth and we shouldn't for transgenderism either. How can we take anvone seriously when they don't even know what gender they are? This is the aecond part of Richard Ward's letter to the Maine State Legislature. Transgender women are MEN. Transgender Men are are women Pills, surgery and imagination won't fool scientists. Your DNA wont change just because you have an unhealthy fascination. Pushing this stuff onto children is child abuse and we shouldnt condone it. Why do children need to learn about gender pronouns when they can't even tie their shoes? Why are teachers telling students not to tell their parents about the topics of discussion in school? Why can't liberals leave children alone? If teachers, the media, and society did not push the transgender narrative we wouldn't have so many confused people. The LGBTQ+ culture is a cult. The mentally ill minority must not be allowed to rule over the rest of us. Where do we draw the line? Child castration, Having children taken from parents for not going along with the mob? Having sex offenders teach children? At this point nothing is off the table for the degenerate woke leftist cult. For being a group that wants acceptance they are quick to advocate for violence against anyone who disagrees with them. We will never cower in fear of terrorists. We will not surrender our country to leftwing scum. Only 2 genders exist and no amount of tantrums will change that. Sometimes the truth hurts and some of you need to hear it.

I've added alt text for those who have visual impairments. I'm not expecting it of Sakher of course, who has enough to deal with as it is. Everyone needs to know what the conditions are on the ground in Gaza.
This is an image shared by my friend Sakher. It is either sunrise or sunset in this image, the sky tinged orange and brown with the rising blue-black plumes of smoke that emit from a swath of buildings that stretches from one end of the photo to the other. Most of the buildings are wrecked or nearly so. The damage, in my opinion, looks to be to the remaining infrastructure of the Gaza Strip. The scene can only be described as post-apocalyptic.

For those who need a refresher, you do it like this.
Timmy from Fairly Oddparents kneeling next to his bed and praying. Originally the text read "Please God let this happen it would be so funny", but I have edited it to read "Please God don't let this happen because it would be so fucking bad for my mental health", given that this is Dolly Parton we're talking about. Realistic tears have been added to show the emotional pain.

I still can't locate an account for either Malak or Maali but here's an update from today posted to their fundraiser. He's taking care of his sister all by himself, an exhausting enough task even under the best of conditions. Diapers especially are very expensive. Please donate and/or share.
Part one of two of an update from Malak on Chuffed on Wednesday, July 30th, titled "Don't skip us": "I went to the market looking for diapers for Maali... I left the tent with $200, thinking I could buy her diapers and a few basic things... But I came back with only one pack of diapers and a kilo of flour. Yes, that's it... Life has become unbearably expensive." Go to the next image for part 2. Part two of two of Malak's update to his Chuffed fundraiser on Wednesday, July 30th: "I swear, every donation from you is a lifeline for us. Maali suffers from paralysis and bedsores and needs special care, and I'm doing my best on my own. Your support truly saves us. Please, my friends, don't leave us alone"

This is a screenshot from the fundraiser. Someone in the family has an allergic reaction to something. You can read their words to understand how bad it is. They almost certainly need antihistamine medications—histamine reactions are more serious than is commonly known. Please donate and/or share.
a screenshot from their chuffed dot com fundraiser showing two pictures, one of a forearm with a rash and the other with a roll of gauze and some bandaids; the text reads as follows: Mon, Jul 14 Small details... but deeply painful A simple allergy turned into constant torment. The skin peels, burns, with little medicine, polluted water, and no hygiene. No care, no attention even small pain becomes a nightmare when bodies are neglected and left to scream in silence.

Now with alt text!
A woodcut print from 1600 featuring two horizontal panels; the first has a book floating in the center paired with a hand on the right holding a lance and a foot on the left in a stirrup, with the phrase, "Thus of old" written with archaic spelling; the second picture shows playing cards and dice in the center, with a hand on the right grasping a smoking pipe and a wineglass with the foot on the left in a stylish, impractical shoe, and the text reads, "Thus now"

A still from the Star Trek TNG episode "Thine Own Self", in which Data has been stranded on a pre-warp Rennaissance-type planet, where the local scientist deemed him an "ice man", one of a race supposedly inhabiting the faraway mountains he had walked from. Here he has had the dermal covering on the left half of his face torn away, revealing his computer bits and blinky lights; a raised hood he was previously wearing has been lowered, revealing the injury. I have added the text in bright yellow, "the only ice man i'd let inside"

This may help with writing image descriptions. Some of this doesn't apply because this is a set of instructions for building websites, but most of it is sound for social websites too (for instance, there are no "decorative" images—just add an explainer for whatever it is).
AN INTRODUCTION TO Alt-Text What exactly is alt-text, how does it make the internet more accessible, and how you can start creating and sharing alt-text! WHAT IS ALT-TEXT? Alt-text or alternative text is text that substitutes the content in images, videos, and other multimedia. An image of a tree is described as "A simple graphic of a small, dark aqua tree. WHY USE ALT-TEXT? The primary purpose of alt-text is to make image content more accessible to those with visual or cognitive disabilities who use screen readers. OTHER REASONS FOR ALT-TEXT 1. If content doesn't load properly (internet issues, blocked media), users can utilize the alt-text in its place. 2. Search engines (Google, Bing) can use alt-text to better assess web pages and provide more relevant results to users. 3. Makes up for algorithmic mistakes (mistaking a dog in an image for a carpet). WRITING ALT TEXT 1. Begin describing the image using its main subject. 2. Add further context from the topic/page. 3. Effectively use keywords. 4. Try to convey why the image is used and how it relates to its context. 5. Review your alt-text for any spelling errors. 6. Add your finished text to the appropriate area (depending on the platform). Alt-Text Example A black Bernese Mountain Dog wearing a red leash happily looks up at the camera while sitting on a populated sidewalk Do's and Don'ts Do add alt-text to main or significant media. Don't add alt-text to decorative images. Do keep alt-text short and descriptive. Don't fill alt-text with unnecessary phrases like "image/picture of" References 2.

the resemblance is striking
A painting by Heinrich Lossow in 1880, titled "The Sin"—a delicate wrought-iron gate about three meters or ten feet high is the only thing that stands between a young nun on the left and an older friar on the right; she is holding herself up by the gate's doorframe with her black robe hiked up to expose her pearish thighs and goodly badonkadonk, her blissful and flushed face framed by a white wimple. The friar's face is contorted with the effort of aiming his dingus just right so it doesn't scrape the bars while simultaneously fondling the nun's breasts. One wonders if the gate rattling away didn't alert everyone within a mile or one point six kilometers.

Are we talking Michael and Debi Pearl shit or the Grimm tale? Either way, you have every single one of my sympathies.
The Willful Child Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm "Once upon a time there was a child who was willful and did not do what his mother wanted. For this reason God was displeased with him and caused him to become ill, and no doctor could help him, and in a short time he lay on his deathbed. He was lowered into a grave and covered with earth, but his little arm suddenly came forth and reached up, and it didn't help when they put it back in and put fresh earth over it, for the little arm always came out again. So the mother herself had to go to the grave and beat the little arm with a switch, and as soon as she had done that, it withdrew, and the child finally came to rest beneath the earth."
