Teen girl with heart condition needs shelter in north Gaza

We have spoken repeatedly about Nour’s situation before on this blog, and conditions have only gotten worse for her. To protect her from additional illness and to have a safe and warm space in which to treat her condition, her family needs funds to arrange shelter. In the long-term, they hope to rebuild their home. But for now, they just need to find someplace warm and out of the rain. Their current shelter is a shredded plastic “tent” currently being swamped by frigid winter rain:

The family has previously been vetted by el-shab-Hussein and nabulsi, they are listed as number 157 on the former’s vetted campaign master list. The campaign linked there is now inaccessible, as GFM shut it down without any prior warning or explanation. This is the new link:

Temporary goal progress: $988 out of $2,640 usd (updated 15 January)

Need to raise: $1,652 usd

🚨UPDATE:

Yesterday we explained that Nour's sister Noha sustained a foot injury due to their tent collapsing, and that initial treatment costs were $550 usd. Noha was able to see a doctor, who said that in addition to treating the pain with medication, she needs an operation to repair the broken bones that cannot be treated with a cast. In total this brings the cost of treatment to $1000 usd.

Noha is one of Nour's main caregivers. This injury is not only incapacitating and extremely painful for her, it also prevents her for taking care of Nour. Having a reliable caregiver is absolutely vital for Nour, and Noha’s own health is also important for its own sake, so we have temporarily altered our goal to focus on healing Noha’s foot. Once those costs are met, we will resume raising funds for better shelter.

NEW temporary goal progress: $1,114 out of $2,046 usd (17 January)

Need to raise: $932 usd

me parece que se están yendo un poquito a la mierda no

This moral panic has to stop. How does a post that uses this kind of language has like 15k notes.

If you oppose AI, the corporatization of technology and polluting data-centers that makes sense. I think that the environmental effect of AI is overstated (and also conflated with the rest of internet activity) but I also oppose this waste of materials to feed a corporate trend that is feeding an economic bubble.

"ai viriginity" or the whole pride on never being tainted about an AI, you should have realized this is fucking weird the minute you typed "ai viriginity". What the fuck are you even talking about.

I don't want to reblog the OP because I don't want to get in arguments but then the reblog chain goes something "don't fall for the moral OCD!" and in the next sentence "you aren't tainted or sinful for having used AI once", you are the ones making up the moral OCD, what the fuck are you doing

16k notes by the way.
