do you think in your 80s you're still able to surprise yourself with what you can do. for example just now (demure age of 31) my sriracha fell on the floor and a truly novel screech exited my mouth

Everyone… I just need to rent a place to replace our tent. My family has fallen very sick because of it, Don’t forget us even with the ceasefire it’s an illusion to divert attention from us. Our suffering has worsened, the situation is extremely dire and I’ve lost everything except my trust in you.
My dearest friend set up the weekly and monthly donation options so that we can stay alive after a tent was destroyed just 100 meters away from us last night. The sand covered our faces while we were still alive.
I’m deeply depressed and can’t keep begging one by one for help anymore.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Spent a few hours finishing up Strange Bedfellows this morning! Beautiful comic, a little bittersweet with extra sweet. Superpower fueled romance / grappling with adulthood story. Perfect to give my brain some refresh time.

Today marks 108 years since the Balfour Declaration, which in 1917 saw the British Empire promise historic Palestine to the Zionist movement laying the foundation for waves of ethnic cleansing and the ongoing colonisation of Palestine by apartheid Israel.

If we really want to deter suicide and self-harm, we should prescribe social media to teenagers, not ban it
The anti-teen-social-media case keeps falling apart even as it peaks politically.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.
