Hello👋, 🍉❤️🖤🤍💚
I am reaching out to you today with an urgent plea to support my family, who has been deeply affected by the war. These difficult circumstances have placed unexpected challenges upon us, and we are now struggling to make it through this tough period.
Our immediate goal is to raise 1000 euros to help ease some of the pressure and allow my family to stay strong.
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference for us and provide a glimmer of hope during these hard times.💔
I deeply appreciate any support you can offer.Thank you so much for your generosity and compassion🙏

All these families are trying to evacuate at least 1 child under the age of 12. They live in tents that provide inadequate shelter and are constantly exposed to disease. Children are growing up in an unhealthy environment where they suffer greatly from malnutrition, skin conditions, and psychological challenges with which there are no resources to treat.

Someone asked me why I collect all this money, a logical question, and my answer is to leave Gaza, because we are dying every minute for no reason, this may be my last post.
If I don't post anymore, I'm dead, so do what you can to save me.😭

Imagine that you are now living without shelter on the street, without a house to shelter you or even a tent. Just imagine this feeling, what you will do then, how you will act.
Yes, we have been living there for about 10 months. My family and I are without a home or a breadwinner. A tent does not protect you from the heat of summer or the bitter cold of winter.
No one knows the feelings of the people of Gaza.
You wake up every day to massacres everywhere that do not stop. No one asks about us or our conditions.
So I ask you, I ask you, I beg you, do not leave me and my family alone. We need you, and I am confident that you can help me. I only ask you for a little. Spread my story everywhere. Donate even a little. Every dollar will make a difference and save a life.
Please, if you are unable to send money, please share this so we can try to reach our goal.
I can not express my gratitude for each donation. GoFundMe lets me send the funds at the end of every day. You are saving her life and I am so thankful to all of you.

if i could bring your attention for a second to amal ashour's campaign @amalashuor please. this is vetted #175 on spreadsheet
ive posted about her before, amal is a mother of a young daughter who was only 9 months old when the war began. her and her husband and daughter have lost everything and been displaced many times and now struggle to afford daily necessities. the funds from this campaign have been helping them survive since they have no other income and prices are extremely high in gaza.
unfortunately theyve just been displaced again when the genocidal israeli army ordered them to evacuate deir al-balah and go west, towards the sea. every time that people are displaced in gaza it is extremely expensive and taxing. transportation and fuel prices are high, and because the idf gives little warning and constantly changes "safe zones," people often are forced to leave behind their tents. read amals post where she explains everything theyve been through and how much its cost them in her own words.
its such a scary situation in gaza right now. so many people being forced to leave again to even smaller areas with nowhere to go. thankfully amal and her family have survived so far but she's had to spend a lot of the money from the campaign on these expenses. shes raised the goal of this campaign to reflect this.
amal sent me these messages earlier today... people are trapped in an actual living hell right now. its really far beyond what we can comprehend from the outside.
please keep participating in this campaign and help amal reach her new goal. even small donations add up and make a difference. if you cant donate, share this with someone who can. this is really important
“Thomas liked Teresa!!” “Thomas liked Newt!!” “Thomas liked Brenda!!”
He liked all of them but couldn’t decide. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.
“Who do you like?”
Thomas: “uhhhhhhh uhmmm about that- the thing is- I care about them all equally-? Uhm… yes. Yes.”
O merciful heart, O lover of goodness and giving..
Hello, I am Oday from Gaza. I created a link to my gfm campaign to get me and my family out of Gaza. We live in very harsh living conditions. I contracted viral hepatitis as a result of malnutrition and there is no cure here. We die every day from the extreme heat of the tent, insects and scorpions. My sister is about to give birth to her first child. Our biggest fear is where will this child live in these circumstances? Help us bear the costs of leaving Gaza and the difficult costs of living and treatment.
I hope you will help us by donating or reposting. Make sure that every $5 can make a big difference in our lives
Your support and contributions are very important and appreciated, and I hope that you will continue to support us until we achieve the goal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻

I'm Lama Al-Hourani, 24 years old, administrative assistant from Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip and my husband Mohammed, 30 years, an accountant for Elites Centers Group in the Gaza Strip.
We married in August 2022, our lives are filled with love, happiness and comfort in a beautiful, quiet, spacious and warm house that has never lacked anything of all the requirements and luxury and this house was like everything we had. Life turned upside down in Khan Yunis ground war.
My husband's family of 12 people and I had to be forcibly displaced to the city of Rafah without anything in a tent that does not accommodate five people in a cold and harsh winter with the difficult possibilities of life without income and all the necessities of life are 20 times the price of more than its normal price.
On the 120th day of the war, our beautiful house was bombed, which I did not live in for more than two years. The family house of six floors has settled on the floor and we only have some beautiful memories and some pictures left.
My husband lost his job because of the occupation blowing up the centers in the Gaza branch and Khanyonis, and we lost the beautiful family car as well, and I stopped working as well because of this grinding war.
We became homeless and jobless. Help us get out of Gaza. Every dollar makes a difference and saves our lives.
Okay, since the AI discourse is happening again, I want to make this very clear, because a few weeks ago I had to explain to a (well meaning) person in the community how AI works. I'm going to be addressing people who are maybe younger or aren't familiar with the latest type of "AI", not people who purposely devalue the work of creatives and/or are shills.
The name "Artificial Intelligence" is a bit misleading when it comes to things like AI chatbots. When you think of AI, you think of a robot, and you might think that by making a chatbot you're simply programming a robot to talk about something you want them to talk about, and it's similar to an rp partner. But with current technology, that's not how AI works. For a breakdown on how AI is programmed, CGP grey made a great video about this several years ago (he updated the title and thumbnail recently)
I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you watch this because CGP Grey is good at explaining, but the tl;dr for this post is this: bots are made with a metric shit-ton of data. In C.AI's case, the data is writing. Stolen writing, usually scraped fanfiction.
How do we know chatbots are stealing from fanfiction writers? It knows what omegaverse is [SOURCE] (it's a Wired article, put it in incognito mode if it won't let you read it), and when a Reddit user asked a chatbot to write a story about "Steve", it automatically wrote about characters named "Bucky" and "Tony" [SOURCE].
I also said this in the tags of a previous reblog, but when you're talking to C.AI bots, it's also taking your writing and using it in its algorithm: which seems fine until you realize 1. They're using your work uncredited 2. It's not staying private, they're using your work to make their service better, a service they're trying to make money off of.
"But Bucca," you might say. "Human writers work like that too. We read books and other fanfictions and that's how we come up with material for roleplay or fanfiction."
Well, what's the difference between plagiarism and original writing? The answer is that plagiarism is taking what someone else has made and simply editing it or mixing it up to look original. You didn't do any thinking yourself. C.AI doesn't "think" because it's not a brain, it takes all the fanfiction it was taught on, mixes it up with whatever topic you've given it, and generates a response like in old-timey mysteries where somebody cuts a bunch of letters out of magazines and pastes them together to write a letter.
(And might I remind you, people can't monetize their fanfiction the way C.AI is trying to monetize itself. Authors are very lax about fanfiction nowadays: we've come a long way since the Anne Rice days of terror. But this issue is cropping back up again with BookTok complaining that they can't pay someone else for bound copies of fanfiction. Don't do that either.)
Bottom line, here are the problems with using things like C.AI:
It is using material it doesn't have permission to use and doesn't credit anybody. Not only is it ethically wrong, but AI is already beginning to contend with copyright issues.
C.AI sucks at its job anyway. It's not good at basic story structure like building tension, and can't even remember things you've told it. I've also seen many instances of bots saying triggering or disgusting things that deeply upset the user. You don't get that with properly trigger tagged fanworks.
Your work and your time put into the app can be taken away from you at any moment and used to make money for someone else. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people who use AI panic about accidentally deleting a bot that they spent hours conversing with. Your time and effort is so much more stable and well-preserved if you wrote a fanfiction or roleplayed with someone and saved the chatlogs. The company that owns and runs C.AI can not only use whatever you've written as they see fit, they can take your shit away on a whim, either on purpose or by accident due to the nature of the Internet.
(also, this goes without saying, but this entire post also applies to ai art)
In case I wasn't clear.

This campaign is dedicated to treating Muhammad. Muhammad suffers from a lack of oxygen at birth and muscle relaxation. Mohamed's condition was very bad, but with physical therapy and physiotherapy, he finally started moving. But with the war that broke out in Gaza, all physical therapy centers were closed, medicines were rare and sometimes absent, and their prices rose. mohammd condition began to get worse and worse. mohammd must return to his physical therapy, and he has the right to return to walking. This situation is special and exceptional
