Hey, oomfies! This Eid, let’s spread some more love to Gaza. Grassroots orgs there are doing incredible work despite the many limitations...getting food, meds, and shelter to families who’ve lost everything. Even a few bucks can make a real difference. Donate the cost of a coffee!

My friend Mahrah (@mahrahpalestine) is an engineering student. She is brilliant and speaks with a clarity of analysis and thoughtfulness (even in a second language, even while living in crisis), that is profoundly impressive and humbling to me. She holds hope that Palestine will be free, and when it is, she will use her knowledge and skill to help rebuild.
Her father lost his job due to the war, and she does not have the money for university fees. The situation for her and other Palestinians is getting more difficult as the duration of the crossing closure increases, and the genocidal famine is leading to sickness and starvation.
Mahrah explained, "Food is missing from the markets. If the food is found, it is usually unhealthy because it contains preservatives and we eat it for a year and 8 months, and this causes diseases. But there are no other options to do without it. My nephews are at risk for my father's and mother's diseases and need healthy food because they are at an advanced age. It's like a famine, but there is no media to cover what's happening. They killed all the journalists."
Donations have been slowing, and she is afraid for her family's health. If you can spare some money to help them, please do.
Mahrah has been so incredibly kind and loving to me in our conversations, even checking in how I've been while recovering from surgery. She has extended so much compassion towards me, and I want to encourage others to extend that same level of compassion towards her.
the kamala harris campaign was so bad it's crazy. like setting aside all my loonie leftie purity testing positions like "genocide is bad" for a second, even setting aside the fact that biden hideously sabotaged it by demanding the campaign not do anything that might make him look bad like, say, 'promise any differences at all from his unpopular administration' -- the pivot to immigration hawkishness was unbelievably stupid. trump is the ultimate issue owner on immigration, you are never, ever, going to convince someone whose main worry is about Evil Illegal Immigrants Taking Jobs and Doing Crime, to vote for you over donald trump on that basis. kamala harris could have filmed herself executing undocumented children with a shotgun and it would not have moved the needle on this, so all that these ads achieved was affirming for such voters that The Border was the Big Issue of this election and so that they should vote for the Border Wall Guy.
& again i am saying this from the point of view of my electoral politicsona, this is all, yknow, fairly within the purview of uncontroversial liberal polsci shit. Legendarily bad campaign, in any sensible world these people would never be allowed to touch electoral politics again. let alone what would happen to them in any Just world
