Please support my friend @/help_mohamed_from_gaze (IG) and his family of 6! He has just injured his foot while carrying water. Prices in Gaza are astronomically high, and they need food, clothes, and other necessities. I just sent him £25 — would anyone be able to match my donation? Please share 🫶🫶 Thank you <3 🔗 GFM: https://gofund.me/05166cf7

so as you might have guessed because I said I was camping in the woods to avoid getting sick:
someone in my household has covid unfortunately but we did manage to get them a Paxlovid subscription. they’re uninsured, and even GoodRx coupons only brought the cost down to $1,300 USD.
I thought to check the drug manufacturer website and quickly signed up online through its portal and received a pharmacy card by email that lowered the cost to $0
There are also options for insured patients to dramatically lower their copays. I’m in the U.S., and I’m unsure whether this is applicable elsewhere, but I wanted to share this info on access to potentially lifesaving medication, for anyone it may help!
Do other people in the world really believe the genocide is over or that conditions have improved? They began starving the North in March last year and then continued to starve the whole Strip for a year and now they are starving the whole Gaza Strip again this March, in Ramadan.
Genocide is an act of collective punishment and neglect of the most essential life sources.
In reality they began committing genocide against the people of Gaza the day that the siege on Gaza was imposed. What we continue to witness since Oct 7th is only the same genocide accelerated which I will never stop repeating.
Not only that, the murder by aircraft has not stopped. israel's fascist death machines are still hovering and threatening and firing and killing people in their tents, in their damaged homes, in cars, at people trying to rebuild...their thirst for Palestinian blood is literally infinite.
Even if the fire stopped, it would still be genocide. There is no such thing as an israeli ceasefire because they practice murder by freezing and starving and medically neglecting and physically and psychologically torturing Palestinians too.
I receive between one donation and 2 per day
I’m shy I swear because I keep asking you for your help but that’s the only way to help my brother plus my relatives to survive
This is the worst Eid I have ever experienced in my entire life. I lost all my friends in the war and I am left alone here suffering from the pain of loss. I used to go and visit my friends, but today I went to their homes and found their mothers collapsing from crying and grieving over the loss of their sons. We used to meet and go out and spend a pleasant time together, but unfortunately today I went and visited them in the cemetery and sat next to them all day crying from the intensity of my pain and regret. How difficult this feeling is for me and I cannot bear it!!! 😭
last week two ambulances, a fire truck, a UN vehicle and around 16 rescue workers were dispatched to save people crushed under the rubble after a bombing in rafah (do you remember rafah? one of biden's red lines.) they disappeared, and due to israeli tanks nobody could enter the area and nobody knew what had happened to them.
a few days ago after the tanks left the vehicles were discovered crushed and buried under the sand, and one rescue worker's body was recovered. israel admitted to targeting them. and then yesterday the rest of the workers' bodies were recovered in a mass grave. one of the corpses had wire around one foot, indicating torture and interrogation, several handcuffed, all of them buried in their clearly marked uniforms and gloves.
cnn reported this story alongside like five other incidents of israel targeting humanitarian workers this past week to little outrage because the workers killed were palestinian and not international, and because israel has been regularly killing humanitarian workers.
but for the PRCS (the palestinian red crescent society), the same organization that hind rajab called desperately from her car around this time last year, one of the few that struggled to save lives throughout the war even when it got their workers killed by israeli forces, these are fathers, sons and loved ones who spent a genocide digging people out of rubble with no equipment and trying to save lives:
all of them were buried in a careless mass grave of rescue workers, found after a week of pleading from their loved ones and radio silence from their murderers and those who enable them.
"There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self-interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they'd tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead.
"No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul."
1- Nad is a 17 years old Palestinian boy whom I've been trying to help get evacuation funds for months now. The funds are for him and several family members, including his father who's a cancer patient and his little niece whom he loves and whose health has been heavily impacted by the post October 7th phase of the genocide in Gaza.
Nad's campaign was going incredibly well, until GFM locked their original one and for half of it he had to start all over again. :/ This is deeply unfair and no one should have to campaign to survive a genocide, let alone a 17 years old kid.
2- Anas Ayesh is a 23 years old Palestianian medical student and a dear comrade. Through a scholarship he was granted the chance to study abroad in Venezuela, his dream is to become a doctor so he can help his people. Right before October 7th of 2023, Anas had returned to Gaza to visit his family and, well, you can imagine the rest. Besides all the horrors, he's developed gastric cancer and I worry I'll be informed sooner or later of his passing. He's deeply suicidal and very, very unwell both physically and emotionally. Please, help him reach his goal.
3- Fadel is another friend of mine I've been talking to for a bit. He and his family were injured in an attack amongst the rubble that used to be their home. They were almost martyred. From this attack, there's shrapnel stuck inside Fadel's body that they couldn't safely remove. The surgery he needs is very complicated and cannot be performed in Gaza as of now.
He lives in intense, inhuman physical pain every single day. Please, help Fadel, his situation is so miserable, and as someone who suffers from chronic pain I can completely empathize with his suffering and wish it on no one.
Then again, there’s an attitude that the very invocation of a purpose is somehow unrefined. Sometimes I want to insist to myself, or to whatever reader I imagine is paying attention to a particular piece, that it’s possible to have an explicitly left-wing perspective and approach literary objects and aesthetic questions without sacrificing any irony, sensitivity or sophistication on the level or the argument or sentence.
The implicit understanding is that if you’re committed, if you’re too overtly political, then you’ve made some Faustian pact with vulgarity. Am I overstating that? I have no idea. But in reviews, novelists actually get bonus points for not having a political perspective. There’s a long history to this that I can’t summarize well here. But even today certain kinds of critics—sometimes very established—are invested in displaying their exhaustion with politically inflected art. And I think: What are you exhausted with? Where did this twee McCarthyism come from? You’re an American. You’ve barely ever consumed any left-wing cultural production. You grew up middle-class in the most philistine capitalist state there has ever been, but you’re acting like you were raised on a diet of socialist realism and state radio broadcasts. Your closest experience to agitprop is Sesame Street. Your fatigue is so unearned, I can’t stand it. The neo-aestheticist boredom with social critique? That’s vulgar. And self-professed aesthetes should write good sentences, frankly. I guess some of them probably do. I end up thinking exactly what they think of people like me. I get snobbish about their snobbery. I read that sort of thing and go—oh dear. Pleasure? Profound feelings? How reductive. What a boorish, mechanical view of what art does and is for.

They killed the children in the early morning of the Eid
Instead of wearing new clothes for Eid, children have been wrapped in shrouds, making it the last thing they will ever wear in their lives.
If it doesn't matter for you to see us die, do nothing but If you would like to see us alive please donate here and share
The Israeli occupation killed my close friend three days ago. The Israeli occupation killed him, his twin children, and his wife. It killed his entire family. I cannot believe that I buried him and his children with my own hands. I never imagined that I would live through this day. They were erased from the civil registry in seconds. Please, I don’t want this to happen to me and my family. We want to get out of here as soon as possible. Please donate and help us get out of Gaza.
