if i ever had godlike powers over the nature of animals i'd just make crabs smarter. like on par with crows or something. you'll walk out onto the pier at night and see a group of crabs working together to drag an unconscious man into the water. you can't help him now. he's gone.

The siege and lack of nutrition in Gaza are destroying the bodies of our children, Muhammad and Sham

Especially after the tightening of the siege and the closure of the crossings

Our children suffer from malnutrition and a health disaster

All aspects of life have become difficult for them, especially education, as they are at the most important stage in their lives in terms of establishing a foundation in learning.

And Joseph was born in a tent and in difficult and harsh circumstances

His mother moves from one place to another during the last months of pregnancy

Youssef was born, and relief has not yet come to Gaza, as they are still suffering from lack of nutrition and all the necessities of life

somewhere out there someone has probably used AI to write their wedding vows. someone out there is probably loading their hinge profile with AI quippy responses. when i close my eyes i picture a man hunting through chatGPT prompts, trying to get someone else to love him. maybe she sends him back chatGPT too, and two robots fall in love.

is this our new lives, then? is love scripted? i have a dandelion heart and some part of me wants to believe that AI will not obtain self-reliance by evil but instead by discovering the single perfect shape of love - the one thing humanity (in all our time and force) could never quite nail down. maybe it will be a string of numbers. the imprint of static, the universe's thumbprint. maybe it will just be a single long mirror, and jam dripping down your hands.

i know there are "good" reasons. i was nervous! or i was unsure how to say it! but - i want your nervous words. i want your unsure words. i want you to strike entire pages of work for me. i want you to gesture vaguely, to ransack your mind for ways to instead-of-saying just show me. i want to find where your words fail you and where the summer of your longing blazes out of you, infinite, resisting the capture of definition.

and i want to do the same for you. isn't any love worth a little bit of struggle? i want to shiver with the movie-ripe sense my friends are lovely and i am so tender towards them - i want to never quite be able to explain what it means to spend my life with them. i want to draw shapes on your skin that exit the geometric and fade into the same, wordless pattern. it is still love if silent. you know - i rarely, if ever, actually tell my siblings i love them? i just show up often, and hope the action does the talking.

i know AI is "easier". of course. buttoned up and seamlessly corporate. but i do not want to love you through a film. i do not want to love you with your edges sanded down. i cannot recognize myself in you if you are unmarred and glistening. something about how, with the crystal-clear mp3 files of the present, we ache for the scratch of vinyl. the flaws are what make love worth it. i want the raw and the windbeaten and the unkempt.

something tender, then. i love you because you're real, which means that you cannot be perfect.

My name is mohammd, married and a father of four children between 5 and 13 years old. I live in the nourth of Gaza strip, precisely in the region of Gaza, next to Al-Shifa Hospital which suffered and still suffering very heavy damage because of the harsh bombings. Everything has been destroyed. Houses, schools, buildings, hospitals, shops, mosques, churches, means of transportation, etc

Unfortunately, my house was not spared. Actually, my family and I are living in makeshift tents in very precarious conditions. Food is very restricted, water and medications are rare. Hygiene products are non-existent. Life has stopped. Having lost everything, we decided unwillingly to leave Gaza for Egypte in the research of security and peace. This will allow us to heal ourselves, to regain strength, serenity but above all it will allow my children to continue their education and have a normal life. This is why I created this page to collect donation with the help of my My friend Mhammed is in Belgium The actual price to leave Gaza strip is 5000 dollarsper adult and 2500 dollars per child. PS: Hoping for a definitive ceasefire. If it's the case, we will remain in Gaza and this aid will partly allow us to rebuild our house.
