If you dont love kim as a failed revolutionary, as a self tokenizing cop, as an enabler, as a victim of the system who decided being the boot was his only option for survival, as a man who never experiences respect let alone love from the country he calls home, as a man who uses his status of cop to exercise power, as a man who has lost his dreams of a decent life....... then do you even love him

Here is a fundraiser personally verified by me; help Ahmed's family survive and get his parents medical treatment for their chronic health conditions!

(Ignore the end of the video where I tell people to leave a long comment. That's for algorithmic platforms)

A message from Ahmed himself:

"I am Ahmed, I live in the Gaza Strip. My family and I have been suffering for years because of the Israeli siege imposed on the Gaza Strip, and now we are suffering greatly because of the war. We lost our home, which we built with great difficulty, and now live in a tent in a remote area. We lost our job, and for about 5 months we have been without a source of income. Despite all this, we are exposed daily to aircraft bombardment and tank fire, and nothing protects us. Life here is very dangerous and tiring. Our city has become completely destroyed, without homes, without roads, and without services such as electricity, water, and communications. The only way to save my life and protect my family is to travel to Egypt, but that requires a lot of money, costing about $7,000 per person. Every donation can help us survive."

Ramadan has come But this Ramadan is different from the previous one, as the atmosphere of Ramadan was happy and joyful, but this year Ramadan came mixed with the smell of blood, killing and destruction. Unfortunately, there is no longer any joy or happiness here. There is only sadness and destruction.

Please help us get through these difficult times. Your donation is very valuable to us, even if it is small. We need all the support and assistance in these difficult times. Please donate.

Even the Smallest Kindness Can Change a Life 💙

Every day, I try to remind myself that we are still here. That despite everything we have lost, we are still breathing, still holding on. But some days, that is harder than others.

I lost 25 family members in a single moment. I can still hear their laughter, still see their faces when I close my eyes. But they are gone, and nothing will bring them back.

Our home, the place that held every memory, every moment of comfort, is nothing but rubble. We have been displaced over and over, searching for safety, searching for something that feels like home.

💔 Each day is a battle for survival. 💔 Each night is a reminder of who is missing. 💔 And yet, kindness still finds us.

Thanks to the generosity of people who have never met me, we have now reached $2,500. It is a small step in a long journey, but it is a step forward. And that means everything.

I am not asking for much—just the chance to survive. Even $5 can make a difference. If you cannot give, please consider sharing our story. You never know who might see it and be able to help.

Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for reminding us that even in our hardest moments, there is still goodness in the world. 💙🙏

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

Went To The Pub For A Drink On My First Real Day Off In Over A Week And Watched The Girl Behind The Bar

went to the pub for a drink on my first real day off in over a week and watched the girl behind the bar drop the entire cash drawer on the floor in the middle of the rush and then just stare at it at her feet for like a solid two minutes

tbh the longer u think about polle being a vessel/mouthpiece for anyas pain (like bro their text colors r the SAME COLOR. in a game that assigns everyone unique text colors) and her hatred/resentment toward jimmy and the fact that would mean hes aware of what he did to her on a subconscious level and haunted by it (literally personifying it as a giant pursuing monster) and yet he STILL refuses to regard her as a human being. filling her in his mind as a mascot

the 'ive found myself sexually attracted to cartoon horses'

the fact that anya places her sleeping bag underneath polles statue, who is motion activated... likely as a way to protect herself...

the final speech polle gives. 'poor you. caged and alone'

and importantly. when jimmy tries to throw anyas words back in her face - 'our worst moments dont make us monsters-' polle cuts him off. 'HOLD ON! WAIT A MINUTE! if thats true... why are you still so concerned with HIM' accusatorially... like THATS who you feel sorry for? THATS what you think your worst moment was?

anyway sometimes the relationship between a woman who deserved better and a little cartoon horse mascot is so beautiful. to ME

You Can Now Play the First LGBTQ Computer Game, For the First Time
‘Caper in the Castro’ was thought to be long lost.

Caper in the Castro is a legendary video game, not because legions of die-hard fans continue to play it, but because it was thought to be lost forever. Now, what is largely considered to be the first LGBTQ-focused video game (it was released in 1989) is on the Internet Archive for anybody to play.

The game is a noir point-and-click that puts the player in the (gum)shoes of a private detective named Tracker McDyke who is, in case you couldn’t guess by the name, a lesbian. McDyke must unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of Tessy LaFemme, a transgender woman, in San Francisco’s Castro district, an historically gay neighbourhood.

OOOOOHhh!

The game was released as charityware – freely, with a strong request to give a donation an AIDS Charity of their choice. I’d like to push towards still following that and donating, if you’re able.

(And you might also want to donate to the Internet Archive, who is hosting it now, while you’re at it – they’re in the middle of a donation drive, and could use your support.)

The Ink Bottle Lying On Your Desk... Begins To Crawl Away..???

The ink bottle lying on your desk... begins to crawl away..???

answering a couple questions i got on this post since i realized ppl genuinely wanna know:

tl;dr:

israel lets very, very little aid get into gaza. even the UN can't get in as much as they want to. funding individual families, gazan led initiatives, and mutual aid collectives operating out of gaza ensures gazans can provide for themselves and pay for the extremely expensive aid that is available.

with all the civil infrastructure destroyed by israel, the situation on the ground has devolved into unrestricted capitalism, driving up the price of aid (that should be free!). this makes it more urgent for people to have funding for daily survival.

the post linked above has examples of how donating to individual families can help a lot. if you want to help more than one family at a time, there are many gazan-led initiatives focusing on rebuilding their infrastructure and distributing aid fairly that are worth donating to instead of large charities that already get the majority of donations.

as i mentioned in the last post: @/careforgaza on twitter is a nonprofit started by gazans, it's been endorsed by multiple palestinian journalists.

the sameer project is a collective organized by diaspora palestinians offering emergency shelter to gazans.

ele elna elak is a project aiming to bring water, food, shelter, etc. to gazans and has been promoted by bisan owda.

and the municipality of gaza itself is fundraising to rebuild water infrastructure.

all of these organizations are active inside gaza right now and are being run by gazans. if anyone knows of other gazan-led mutual aid projects, nonprofits or charities feel free to link them in the notes! hope this helped!

long answers under the cut!

Answering A Couple Questions I Got On This Post Since I Realized Ppl Genuinely Wanna Know:

if you wanna donate to a charity that's absolutely fine, but the thing is most charities (and even the UN!) are unable to make it into gaza in the first place, leaving aid rotting at the egyptian side of the border or subject to israeli settler attacks

not to mention, charities and nonprofits also maintain a paternalistic colonial relationship with the indigenous people they are trying to help, determining what aid they need for them instead of returning power to them and letting them make their own choices

i'm not here to say that one option is better than the other, just that they achieve different things and are equally legitimate. there's an attitude among people who question the legitimacy of these gofundme campaigns that somehow the people promoting them are telling them not to donate to charities. nobody is stopping you from donating to charities. we are just asking that you do not dehumanize the very real gazans in your inbox just because their method of asking for aid is more direct and risky.

Answering A Couple Questions I Got On This Post Since I Realized Ppl Genuinely Wanna Know:

unfortunately that's exactly what has happened. because israel destroyed all of gaza's more formalized infrastructure, it seems that organized crime and rampant inflation has taken its place. aid is supposed to be free, but in order to save for evacuation or the cost of living, people have started selling them at an inflated price. and aid that is truly free attracts intense, large crowds that are dangerous to navigate.

Answering A Couple Questions I Got On This Post Since I Realized Ppl Genuinely Wanna Know:

this was posted on abc a few days ago

it's pure, unrestrained capitalism. i've had multiple palestinians describe this situation to me confidence. that's why everything's so expensive now. why people have to rent out tiny plots of land for their tents to sit on, why my friend @siraj2024 still has to buy tarps to cover the broken windows of the overpriced bombed out apartment he rented, and why a bag of flour can cost a thousand bucks in the north.

even before israel closed and then bombed the rafah crossing, the egyptian hala travel agency was only allowing people to cross the border if they paid a hefty $5000 USD per adult / $2500 USD per child bribe. it denies doing this, but the hundreds of stories from palestinians say otherwise.

with regard to the economy, here in america we saw something similar happen in the wake of hurricane helene and milton. the podcaster margaret killjoy describes how she saw dual economies rise after asheville was fully cut off from the rest of the country - some people offered each other supplies for free in a sort of mutual aid honor system, and some people required payment when they lent supplies because they themselves needed to buy stuff for their families. these dual economies exist in gaza too. and this means they all still need money to survive.

regarding the attempts to take down mohammed ayesh's campaign by zionists on the false claim that his campaign is fraudulent, i've spoken to him directly over the past few months. we've exchanged voice notes, i've heard the sound of drones in the background in his notes, he's sent me videos from where he'd been taking shelter explaining his situation in real time, he's shown me his process of verifying campaigns and has explained to me how hesitant he felt about making a campaign for to support his younger brother when he feels that there are many more gazans in need of all the support that they can get. he's been nothing but respectful and understanding since i've started talking to him.

if any of you zionist pigs really gave a fuck about supposed scams, i have ample evidence via our text and voice messages with him to prove he's really been working on the ground in gaza to verify countless campaigns. but obviously that's not what you racist pieces of shit are actually trying to do here, as if proudly endorsing a genocide isn't enough for you repulsive cunts, you're actively trying to murder palestinians in any way that you can, be that by propagandizing on behalf of a fascist settler colonial state or literally trying to cut off any source of income palestinians can rely on. go to hell.
