i hate when a piece of kids media is so well made that people start saying "clearly this was made FOR adults not for silly little babies. we are the true target demographic" like cmon man. you don't have to pretend it's something it isn't. sometimes things that are made for 12 year olds are good.

How much would you pay for bread if you were starving?

A kilogram of flour in Gaza costs 100 shekels (equivalent to 30 dollars or 26 euros) and counting. A couple hours ago I saw one account that said it was up to over 150. The cost keeps increasing as the artificially created scarcity allows merchants to raise prices to outrageous levels. Israel has designed this famine.

If families cannot afford these costs, they have two options:

Raise funds online and hope that people care enough to actually donate.

Risk their lives at aid distribution sites, which Israeli military uses as traps to massacre starving people.

This is designed, intentionally, as part of the genocide. I need you to understand this. It's not that the aid sites are safe unless the occupation happens to strike. It's that the United States and Israel have worked together to block all other aid so that Palestinians have no choice but to enter US funded and Israeli owned hubs where they can kill as many people as possible. Almost every single day since these GHF aid sites have been operating, Palestinians have been massacred at them.

This reality has been reported on even by news sources in countries that have extreme incentive toward zionist bias.

Time reports Jul 16, 2025, "The incident is the latest in a series of deadly events near aid hubs run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a U.S.-based organization operating with Israeli support...The death toll of Palestinians killed near GHF aid hubs has now reached nearly 700, according to United Nations figures released on Tuesday."

CBC reports Jun 25, 2025: "The scene Tuesday was the latest in nearly daily violent incidents near aid centres one month after distribution was taken over by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). The U.S.- and Israeli-backed GHF has drawn controversy since replacing UN-run relief operations in Gaza for using private American contractors and forcing people past Israel Defence Forces soldiers on the perimeter to reach these hubs... The Red Cross said the "vast majority" of patients who arrived at its Gaza field hospital during mass casualty incidents in the past month had reported that they were wounded while trying to access aid at or around distribution points."

AP News reports June 4, 2025: "Shootings have erupted nearly daily since last week in the Gaza Strip in the vicinity of new hubs where desperate Palestinians are being directed to collect food. Witnesses say nearby Israeli troops have opened fire... aid distribution hubs are being run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a newly formed group of mainly American contractors. Israel wants GHF to replace humanitarian groups in Gaza that distribute aid in coordination with the U.N."

PBS reports Jun 2, 2025: "Witnesses said Israeli forces fired toward the crowds just before dawn around a kilometer (about 1,100 yards) from an aid site run by an Israeli-backed foundation... The International Committee of the Red Cross said in a statement its field hospital in Rafah received 179 casualties including women and children, 21 of them declared dead upon arrival, the majority with gunshot or shrapnel wounds."

More than just being reported on, this reality is being lived right now, by several of my friends. Two of these friends are Mahrah Balousha (@mahrahpalestine) and her brother Mahmoud (@palestinian95).

The money they can raise right now, this week is literally life or death. If they cannot raise this money, they either starve or are forced to enter a very literal death trap. This is serious. Please understand the gravity of what I'm writing here.

Hi I'm helping with this person's campaign on Gaza!! If you can share or donate is appreciated!!!

The image expresses the contrast between the security and peace that people long for, and the reality of war and suffering. At the top, simple yet great desires appear: "I am tired and all I want is sleep," "a good meal," and "a soft bed." These are the desires of someone living a normal life. At the bottom, the bitter reality of people living in darkness amidst destruction, fire, and hunger is shown. The text says: "I am tired and all I want is for this war to end and for peace to return to give them peace of mind again." Donate here to give them peace of mind. Sami's family is in dire need of your donation, even if it is small. Donate anything again, anything. (Gaza in Danger)

‼️DONATE‼️

i know most leftists agree that everybody should have a right to food, water, shelter, and healthcare but i think a vitally important fifth pillar is privacy. people should not be compelled to be tracked, monitored, or to share personal space with others to access their other essential rights

Zombies shouldn't growl or snarl, they should babble a mixture of incomplete word sounds and whole words or sentence fragments. Every zombie should sound almost but not quite like it's trying to tell you something.

There’s certain hobbies and interests that aren’t inherently conservative or regressive but do attract a lot of people who are those things or worse and when you’re a progressive person involved in those hobbies hearing that someone else is interested in your hobby usually has to involve some “But are you normal about it?” conversations before you get too excited

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

Our intestines are empty of everything, and all that remains is the stomach walls, which are slapping against each other from the intensity of hunger.

cant believe i drew this entire thing and STILL misspelled ‘whether’

when i say "famine in gaza is being actively buried" i mean the deliberate starvation policy we have been watching in slow motion for twenty-one months that has reached the mass death stage. it should be headline news everywhere because the entire world has been screaming about it for twenty-one months only to be told to watch their language. this should be the only thing you're talking about, because by next week and for the rest of your life we will remember what was being discussed the week that hundreds (if not thousands) of people in gaza starved to death. it is without exaggeration that dire. already a thousand(!!!) people were killed by americans and israelis trying to get food at aid distribution centers, while at least 70 children have died of starvation, 100 people in total.

meanwhile, this is what america's leading newspaper is talking about:

from Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada' by adam johnson:

So let us compare coverage of the “globalize the intifada” story with that of stories of actual death and actual human stakes in Gaza—objectively major stories that should, I will assert, generate far more outrage and news coverage than whether a mayoral candidate condemns three words he’s never actually said. For the purposes of comparison we will look at The New York Times, the most influential paper in the country, and one month of its coverage for the following topics. Detailed data can be viewed here.

"Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” (June 18 - July 18 2025). The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is a US-Israeli joint production that, according to Amnesty International has "weaponized aid” and resulted in almost daily massacres at the aid sites as thousands of deliberately starved Palestinians line up for minimal food rations. Over 800 aid-seekers have been killed since the fake disrubution sites were set up in May 2025. NYT articles this month: 13.

Starvation as weapon of war in Gaza (June 18 - July 18 2025). Gaza is currently the ‘hungriest place on Earth’ with all of its people at risk of famine, according to the UN. This is a deliberate siege tactic being used by Israel. NYT articles this month: 5

Child “amputee(s)” in Gaza (June 18 - July 18 2025). Gaza is home to, by far, the largest number of child amputees on earth, with over 4,700 cases. They require constant medical and psychological care which is impossible given the broader attacks on Gaza’s almost nonexistent health system. According to Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem Israel actively denies treatment to over a 1000 of these amputees. NYT articles this month: 2

Amnesty International's July Report on Israel using "aid" to facilitate genocide (July 3 2025 - Present):The shocking report details how Israel has deliberately gutted and attacked proven aid channels in favor of its limited “aid” program designed to kill, humiliate and facilitate population transfers. NYT articles on report: 0

February 2024 Flour Massacre that killed 120+ (Feb 29 - March 29 2024). In February 2024, over 120 people were killed while seeking food from aid trucks on the coastal Al-Rashid Street in Gaza City. NYT articles one moth after massacre: 7

"Hind Rajab” (January 29 - March 1 2024) A five-year-old Palestinian girl was murdered by the IDF along with six of her family members and two paramedics, who were gunned down on January 29 2024 by Israel forces as they attempted to rescue her. It made international headlines but barely a blip in US media. NYT articles one month after her killing: 2

Total NYT articles: 29

"Mamdani” and "Globalize(d) the intifada" (June 18 - July 18 2025) NYT articles one month after Mamdani was first asked about “globalize the int ifada”: 32

All told, this means that the New York Times ran more articles about Mamdani and the phrase “globalize the intifada” than it did, during their relevant month time periods, about Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid site killings, starvation in Gaza, child amputees in Gaza, a July 2025 Amnesty International's Report on Israel using "aid" to facilitate genocide, the February 2024 Flour Massacre, and the January 2024 killing of Hind Rajab combined (32 vs 29).

i think we should talk about degendering more as a very real form of transphobia. you should not be calling a trans woman "they" when she's explained her pronouns to you. you should not be calling her a "person" instead of a woman. she's not too gnc, she's not too androgynous, you're not "confused" about her identity, you're degendering her. I fear we've gotten to a point we've forgotten the very basics of this movement is "trans women are women" and "trans men are men", and not just "trans people are someone who's pronouns you have to memorize so you don't offend them." you see her as a man in a dress and it pisses me off
