It literally makes me feel like I'm losing my mind that almost no one in the global north on here will speak about, or even react to, the fact that the US is literally funding Israeli owned death traps for starving families.

The United States and Israel have made it impossible for all actual aid to enter Gaza. Then, private contractors from the United States created the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), with Israeli support, to "take over" aid distribution. They are preventing aid distribution by all humanitarian groups in Gaza that distribute aid in coordination with the U.N., and replacing them with GHF. These GHF sites are set up in collaboration with Israeli military to lure in starving families and gun them down.

The man-made famine in Gaza continues to get worse. As the world continues to watch this through phone and TV screens, real people are struggling to find even the basic necessities to buy. Families who would once subsist on a few loaves of bread a day, now cannot even find the resources to make even 1 loaf.

The hunger that Gazans have been feeling due to the resource scarcity is growing more and more excruciating as time goes by.

If there is no intervention to allow resources into Gaza, the unthinkable will occur and we all know this.

The best thing you can do for your Gazan friends is to ensure that they are able to afford whatever little they can find to eat, as it is quite literally life and death.

I'd like to direct your attention as well to my friend Ayah. She is taking care of beautiful children, who are going to bed hungrier and hungrier with each passing day. Her fundraiser has only raised €4,634 in months of being active. Please donate if you can and give her and her family even the smallest bit of hope in these incredibly harrowing days.

Everything is $49 these days. I simply can’t fathom how anytime I want or need anything it’s always just $49. I’m sick of how every company wants $49 from me. My chest hurts.

If you have not yet heard, starvation in Gaza is worsening and people are still risking their lives just to access aid--nearly 100 people were killed seeking aid on Sunday. A UNWRA worker stated: “Everything around people at the moment is death, whether it’s bombs or strikes, children wasting away in front of their eyes from malnourishment, from dehydration, and dying.”

It’s hard to chase your dreams when your stomach is empty…

In the first panel, a little girl runs after her kite in a field full of life and hope. In the second, the same girl sits on the ground in a dark, rainy camp, unable to move due to extreme hunger-- staring at the sky with empty eyes and a broken heart.

This is how Sami’s family lives in Gaza. Hunger doesn’t just steal food — it steals childhood, safety, and dreams. Sami’s family is now in Gaza, with no food and no shelter.

Stand in solidarity. Be the hand that reaches out in their darkest moment. Be part of their hope. Don’t let silence be your response.

Sami's family has been vetted by Gazavetters as #21, and I've personally seen their documents and have talked him and his family.

You can find his fundraiser here.

Schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders appear most often in your 20s and are believed to be a primary reason why so many people in their early and mid 20s suddenly disappear with no signs of foul play.

If you are in that age range and you're suddenly feeling scared, paranoid, like people are out to get you, please get help. If you have friends or loved ones in that age range and you notice them suddenly behaving strangely or erratically, reach out to them. Make sure they know that they're not alone and that they have options.

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

WIP of a birb family picture I am working on. I care so so so much for the Hawke siblings, it's not even funny.

my favourite thing about the dragon age ttrpg so far is that it’s possible to roll so badly when casting a spell that you turn into an abomination and that’s it for your character.
