i hope you are sharing meals with the people you love, for me as of today, i only hope kholood ( @kholoodpals ) and her family can have food at the very least, because to know them safe and healed seems a wonder now, as we all heard of the end of the ceasefire, and we knew it for the lie it was, and we saw how aid was used as both hope and cruelty.
through this the true hope that palestinians have had is us, people who can care where kt matters, when it matters, and as it should matter or so i hope. this hasn't changed, and i know that in strife aiding seems just to live in suffering, but i hope for one day for everyone to find joy in helping, when the cruelty of a genocide doesn't hang over us.
please know your efforts are not just for kholood, but also her baby, her husband, her brother and her mother, all of them need us, and we can help them, i know money is not always possible, but sharing always is, i ask you as well to try to reach out beyond here, and also, to kholood if you have the time, a few words are enough to get through a day sometimes right? hell, sometimes just sitting down and eating together is enough, please reach out, help kholood now, donate and share as soon as possible 🙏🏽
there's also a link for chuffed if anyone can donate or prefers to aid there:
thanks for helping if you've done so, and hope we can hold your hands in the future here as well, we do need each other and so does kholood's family then.

I used to be big into life sim games when I was younger - though I never actually got to play any properly; got at most a couple attempts at IMVU and second life - and this is of course mainly the age speaking, but I think the aggressive realism of games like inzoi is a significant part of why they put me off. I don't quite know how to explain it but within the realm of games, being able to, I don't know, drive expensive cars and become an idol is so mundane. boring. I feel like at that point it's much more fulfilling spending $40 on an outing with friends that isn't particularly picturesque or movie-like yknow
what I'm saying is if we're gonna live vicariously through ultrarealistic video game characters they might as well shoot laser guns and wield massive swords
