people love to criticise the actions of someone under an extreme amount of stress as irrationally, irredeemably monstrous, and then you'll actually look at what they're talking about and see that not only is their behaviour entirely understandable given the circumstances, but they're actually demonstrating incredible restraint and will to endure beyond what you thought anyone was capable of

Hi everyone. Today, July 24th 2025, is the 24th birthday of my friend Mohammed Ayesh, a Palestinian born and raised in the Al-Shaati refugee camp of Ghazzah. Just like all Palestinians, and especially those from Ghazzah, his life has been marked by the blockade, war, invasions, siege, foreign military checkpoints, and so much more. But through the last two years he has suffered the most accelerated process of this long-time genocide that we Palestinians have seen, with its inception in the 1880's.

And during the last two years, Mohammed Ayesh has become a hero to the people of Ghazzah who needed urgent help from the outside world to manage surviving the most unprecedented concentration of violence on a civilian population.

He has time and time again made his way to people through danger and destruction to verify the fundraisers of people in need of help so people like you can feel more secure about their money going to those who need it most. In doing so he left his own campaign neglected. He continues to work through initiatives like Ihyaa (sister initiative of Isnad) to help University students in Ghazzah achieve their goals in an adequate environment, something that is lacking in Ghazzah right now.

If you want to wish him a happy birthday with me, please consider sending him what you think you can part with today. Thank you all for your continued support for the people of Ghazzah.

This pain will end one day, and I believe in that. We are going through great hardships, but hope has always been in my heart. The freedom for Palestine is now closer than ever🥹🇵🇸

To have the highest incarceration per capita rate in the world, Vatican City would need to imprison 13 people.

My problem with heterosexual romance novels (which I am reading under duress due to my coworker book club but find somewhat entertaining cuz they're not something I normally wld read) is that whenever the love interest is an asshole the author also makes him all dommy dom. when what I really want is for him to be thoroughly put in his place. All of these shithead Christian grey knockoff guys in these books would be excellent brat material but nobody cares what I want. Nobody cares what I want

Once again recommending donations to the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund. Not only is it a credible organization, you can donate any amount, so even if you don’t have much money, you can still contribute what you can towards humanitarian aid in Gaza. It takes donations via credit, PayPal, and mailed checks.

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right
