hi please donate to keep a widow and her four young children from gaza from starving. this campaign is vetted by association, toha’s husband mohammed al shawish was #86 on the gazavetters list. unfortunately they were being scammed by the original person running the campaign and it was eventually deactivated. mohammed was killed in may and these donations are the only thing keeping my friend and her kids alive

here is further documentation proving the legitimacy of this fundraiser. thank you

i don't know how to tell you that it's literally always ableist to mock people who get sick a lot and "i can tell which ones are faking" isn't the get out of jail card you think it is

also if your friends feel the need to lie to you to get out of plans maybe you're not fostering a good environment for them to be honest with you

[Emergency Water Relief for Gaza City – Help Deliver Life-Saving Water

In Gaza City, clean drinking water is dangerously scarce. Families are struggling to find safe water for drinking, cooking, and basic survival. With infrastructure devastated and water sources contaminated, the need for urgent relief is critical.

We are launching a three-month emergency water distribution project to deliver clean water directly to those most in need. Two water trucks will distribute 10,000 liters per day to communities facing extreme shortages. Our goal is to ensure that families, children, and the elderly have access to safe drinking water during this crisis.

How You Can Help

We have budgeted $50,000 to sustain this project for three months. Each truckload of 5,000 liters costs roughly $300 per truck. That means:

💧 $30 provides 500 liters of clean water

💧 $150 provides 2,500 liters – enough for dozens of families

💧 $300 funds an entire truckload of 5,000 liters

💧 $600 ensures a full day of water distribution (10,000 liters)

Every dollar makes a difference. Your donation will help us reach thousands of people in Gaza City with clean, safe drinking water]

Please donate if you can!!!

would you be willing to elaborate on your criticisms of the pitt? (i haven't seen it!)

honestly i didn't make it past episode 3 i just immediately hated it a lot. it's poorly plotted/paced, which makes the propagandistic nature the only thing left to think about, and the propaganda is so unsubtle and facile that it just feels like watching an annoying public service announcement. doctors are heroes but hospitals are so underfunded that they can't spare the time to properly condescend to their patients. in itself this is not a statement unique to the genre (greys has also done it like 50 times) but the personal dramas are at best unoriginal and at worst so thinly written they beggar belief, so all i am left with is noah wyles and his beleaguered blonde nurse looking directly at the camera and explaining how the emergency department staffing table works. every medical show is also pro psychiatry, loves social workers, hates patient autonomy and disabled people, etc, it's part of the fun it's like being a sociologist. but the pitt REALLY cannot go twenty fucking seconds without reminding you that crazy poor drug users are so pathetic and stupid and naked and need to be locked up and restrained and drugged because society is falling apart, because hospitals don't have enough money for doctors because they are owned by private equity. it's just fucking insufferable. usually the medical drama gets its rocks off by appealing to your voyeuristic impulse to see things that could hypothetically go wrong in the human body, layered over with soap opera romance and like one line per episode where the nice character morally exculpates the viewer by telling off the other doctors for dehumanising the patients in a way you on your couch can agree with... the pitt is like straight up patients are moron animals but that's not because of my disgust politics it's an objective scientific determination so you're also a bad person if you tuned in to watch this for enjoyment instead of for a searing meditation on milquetoast usamerican tv show anticapitalism. the only good thing about it is the gore is better than on the avg television set but the truth is you can also just watch surgery on the internet and it doesn't even have shaky cam

in the same way people justify their disgust at people who don't leave the house by saying that obviously they don't mean disabled people, they justify their disgust at people who don't read in the way they consider a moral imperative by saying that obviously they don't mean illiterate people. often going further and invoking historical communist literacy programs, even though those were by definition communal, with clear purposes, and often included non-written forms of education in which entertainment played a significant part (since those are also not opposite concepts). in black bolshevik haywood talks about the various forms of outreach that communist parties did both in the ussr and the usa, which does require more ingenuity and creativity than simply giving people a list of readings. while this rhetoric chiefly targets disabled people, it does not exclusively - it's not wrong to berate someone for those failures specifically because they are intellectually disabled, but because a worldview in which those are individual failures rests on the same idea that upholds ableism

"why do you view penetration and receptive sexual acts as inherently degrading" is a fascinatingly easy "think about the implications of your words" prompt that people nevertheless doggedly insist on failing, very often to the point of tantrums and violent aggression over you coming along and spoiling their good old fashioned normative fun

These reports confirm and acknowledge the extent of the atrocities committed by this treacherous Zionist army, which kills children, the elderly, and women X

The Israeli occupation is killing us with utter brutality, savagery, and brazenness, without anyone holding them accountable. We are trying to stay alive amidst this death, destruction, and bombing. Why doesn't anyone arrest Netanyahu? Why doesn't anyone stop Israel?

Please don't just read and ignore this. Please help us and donate to us. What you are reading now is all true; it happened and is happening in real life and is being applied to us. Please don't let us die. Please donate to us. Please.

Please donate to Nader and help him. Every donation helps, and every share helps. Please donate and share now.

Please, my friend, don't ignore me. I'm suffering here. Please try your best to provide food and drink for me and my family. Please help us and donate to us. Please.

after the twelfth or so richard siken twitter clapback reposted to tumblr it becomes clear that, while richard siken’s fans may be annoying, they are not the ones searching their name on twitter and arguing with random teenagers who never even argue back
