USA people! Buy NOTHING Feb 28 2025. Not anything. 24 hours. No spending. Buy the day before or after but nothing. NOTHING. February 28 2025. Not gas. Not milk. Not something on a gaming app. Not a penny spent. (Only option in a crisis is local small mom and pop. Nothing. Else.) Promise me. Commit. 1 day. 1 day to scare the shit out of them that they don't get to follow the bullshit executive orders. They don't get to be cowards. If they do, it costs. It costs.

Then, if you can join me for Phase 2. March 7 2025 thtough March 14 2025? No Amazon. None. 1 week. No orders. Not a single item. Not one ebook. Nothing. 1 week. Just 1.

Are you with me?

Spread the word.

One of those fandom things that I love is when there’s new characters around and, with the unwavering confidence of an old farmer appraising cattle, fanfic authors take one good look at them, tilt their imaginary hat, and go “Aye. Praise kink, that one. Mighty case of praise kink if I ever saw one.” And everyone else just “aye.”

I am a mother of my children. I want your help to care for them. Please, I want to escape outside the country to treat my child and

start a new life away from the destruction.I have an autistic child who suffers from chronic kidney failure. I need medicines and health care, and because of the war on my city, I am unable to bring expensive medicines.I am suffering. I see my children sleeping without adequate cover or food, and skin diseases are spreading among them and me, and no one cares. I cannot buy detergents or medicine. I have a sick child with autism, who does not speak or hear, who is physically and mentally disabled, and who has kidney failure. and Please, you are our only hope in this situation we are going through. Through your donation to us, we will find safety and meet our basic needs. Donate $10 or $20, enough to protect my family from danger. If you cannot

Help Lina's family get through this week

Can you guess much it costs to survive a week in Gaza?

On Lina's (@linsaif) request, I'm making a new post breaking down her weekly costs, so people hopefully have a better understanding of what Palestinians are going through and require to survive.

Here's what Lina needs to purchase each week:

🍞 A 25kg bag of flour: 80 euros

🐣 Diapers: 60 euros

🍼 3 cartons of milk: 60 euros

🍅 Vegetables when available, and other supplies: 100 euros

💧 Water (for drinking, cleaning, and hygiene): 80 euros

= 380 euros per week for a threadbare existence for a family of four.

Except even just withdrawing money comes with a 30% fee.

Covering the fee, that brings us to 494€ per week. Now you see why Lina has been asking for 500€ short-term goals.

Lately, donations have slowed to a crawl. Lina is forgoing all other necessities in order to afford milk and diapers for her 9 month-old daughter, Sidra, who is suffering from severe diaper rash.

But good news! 🌻 Lina says Sidra's skin has begun healing thanks to your previous donations. Here she is with the diapers and milk that were bought with your generous help.

But please, don't let her healing come at the cost of the rest of the family being able to eat.

You've already done a lot of good for Lina and her family.

Can we get her family through this week?

Current date: November 11, 2024

0/500€

☕ For those without 5€ to spare, you can support Lina's family for the price of a coffee on ko-fi (organized by @cygnettes).

THOUGHT GAINED: INFERNAL ENGINES

PROBLEM

The world is ending. You know it, your neighbor knows it, the dealer knows it, the jailer knows it, the king and all his men know it. All one has to do is look around to see it— the future is curdling into something pale and incorporeal. The infernal machine that is this stupid world is going to blow, sooner rather than later. So what are you doing? Why are you still here? Why is anyone still here?

SOLUTION

You are doing the only thing worth doing. You are living. *Why,* you ask? Try and remember now. Remember your mother’s hand on your shoulder. Remember the taste of a fresh catch. Remember the times when you were kind to the dogs in the valley and they did not bare their teeth. Remember the weight of a child on your shoulders. Remember the stars throwing their light against the wall of sodium and smog. Remember singing until your throat was raw. Remember crying just as loudly and publicly, and the gentleness with which someone opened your curled fist and pressed a handkerchief into your palm. Crying, laughing, running, eating, screaming, haunting, loving, fighting, fighting, fighting. The fight fuels you, and you fuel the fight. You run yourself ragged just for a chance to keep running. You never stop. You cannot stop. The world depends on it. *You* are the infernal engine. You are the world. And, simply put: you want to live.

oh to be a pangolin squirming around in the sludge 🥺🥺🥺 this would fix me

Hello 😇👋,

My family and I are facing incredibly difficult times due to the ongoing war in Gaza 💔. Our dreams and future have been shattered, leaving us feeling lost and without purpose. My brother Anas and I have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help us escape Gaza, continue our education, and support our family.

Making a small donation or sharing the campaign — would mean the world to us.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support 💖

With gratitude,

Don’t Add Fanfiction To Your Goodreads Shelf

Hi folks, I know some of you like to use Goodreads to track all your reading and don’t want to distinguish between books and fanfiction.

I am, however, begging you not to do this. It is extremely jarring and disconcerting to be a fic author and find your works somewhere in the wild where you did not personally put them. Fics are not books, are not published in the same way as books, and exist in a precarious legal space.

Please don’t attempt to elide the separation that exists between fandom and the world of official publishing.

[ghostly-pallid]

Dear lovely friend 🌺,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to share the urgent situation of Ashraf Almughanni, who has lost everything due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza. His baby was born just months after the war began, and Ashraf is desperately trying to secure a safe future for him and his mother 💔👶.

I invite you to reblog my pinned post, which outlines their story, and if possible, consider a small donation of €10 or €20. Your support would mean the world to them. Ashraf's campaign is verified by @gazavetters and @gaza-evacuation-funds, ensuring its legitimacy. Together, we can help pave the way for a brighter future for Ashraf’s family 🌿🕊️🇵🇸.

Thank you for standing with them.

Warm regards,

Mohammed

In case anyone can help!
