I’ve put together a free magazine featuring neurodivergent writers and creators from across the globe. It was a labor of love and intense effort stymied by depression and a day job, but I hope you’ll take the time to check out this proof-of-concept issue.
At this point, someone being really loudly self righteous on the internet is enough to give me pause no matter whether or not i agree with what they’re talking about. It’s insanely easy to build narratives in online spaces, and one of the only decent rules of thumb i can find for navigating the flow of information is “does this seem calculated to provoke the strongest emotional reaction from me possible, while casting any reasonable doubt as inherently immoral.”
[ID: An image of plaintext that reads: “The story behind the ‘Islamic rage guy’ born in 1978 to a Sufi Muslim family in IOK. In 1990 Indian police threw his sister out of a window and she died four years later of her spine injuries; this man has never killed anybody and became involved in Kashmiri independence movement.” End ID]
His name is Shakeel Ahmad Bhat. He’s been tortured and imprisoned numerous times by the Indian government across his career as a militant and later a peaceful protestor for various causes, principally Kashmiri liberation.
“I am not happy with people joking about me or making me into a cartoon, but I have more important things to think about. My protests are for those Muslims who cannot go out onto the streets to cry out against injustice. This is my duty and I believe Allah has decided this for me.”
Why doesn’t the world understand this reality? Why is everyone ignoring what’s happening in Gaza? Why are you letting us die while you watch? As you can see, they started in Gaza, then Venezuela, and who knows who will come next? America and Israel are the ones destroying the world and killing innocent people.
The war in Gaza hasn’t stopped, not even for a few days. Every day that passes brings more deaths, gunfire, and attacks. Please don’t ignore us, and don’t remain silent about what’s happening to us.
Nader is now suffering from high prices, the cold, and the ongoing war, which hasn’t stopped even with the ceasefire. Please help my friend Nader escape from the Gaza Strip.
All we ask for is a decent life and a peaceful environment like everyone else, treatment for my father, and security for my niece and the rest of the ST family. Please help us, donate to us, and give us hope. Your donations help us greatly. Please donate. We only need 3000 euros to reach our goal. Please donate now and share.
Nader and his family have reached 34% of their goal; if everyone who saw this gave 5$, they would reach 35% in no time, and past that, 40%. Please, if you can give anything, they need it desperately! I donated 10$, can anybody match?
Please don’t ignore us. Every donation brings us closer to survival and escape. Please donate now.
Please, if you can, help my friend Nader. He and his family are really struggling and I want to see him get out alive.
Over 200 people have participated, yet only 3 have donated. Please donate now and don’t ignore what we’re going through. We need help. Please donate.
Hey everyone, please don’t ignore me or my suffering. I deserve to live. I love life and I want to live in peace. Please share this post and donate. You are my hope for survival. Please donate.
