This is a family of six in a threadbare tent- even a little donation can help ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Tahrer. Tahrer worked in the beauty industry. Her family lost their home and her husband is ill. She is living in a tent with her four children, Muhammad (who just got a 93% on his high school exam), Hudhaifa, 16, Habiba, 14 and Elaf, 8.

It’s so nice to go on ao3 where people write your fave characters for free better than the show writers who get paid to write them do

They're continuing to starve them on purpose
24 hours after the Israeli army announced it would reopen the Zikim crossing, it remains closed, with no trucks entering Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!
Medical Republic: 'Fibromyalgia finally gets a genetic fingerprint'
'Additionally, certain risk loci overlapped with long covid (BPTF) and ME/CFS (OLFM4, RABGAP1L/GPR52), two poorly characterised disorders, albeit with different lead variants.'

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

One of my favorite people in this world. An ardent supporter of Palestine. Rest in peace Alice
Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

There's a Hasan Minhaj bit about how after 9/11, his family went through a racist incident & his dad was like "put your head down, this is the tax to live here" & Hasan says something like, "I was born here. I had the audacity of equality." & I think a lot of us lived both the fear & hope of that.
Mamdani: "I thought that if I could build a campaign of universality ... if I behaved well enough or bit my tongue enough ... it would allow me to be more than just my faith. I was wrong."
