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.

Looked it up. Donohue, the author here, is the president of the Catholic League, & also an adjunct scholar with the Heritage Foundation. It has been his life’s mission to defend sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and he is using Kelly’s statements as a further justification in his argument.

Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

If you want to help with the flooding you could maybe pick one person on this list (I’ll quote tweet the bottom of it in the next post so not everyone picks the first few families) and maybe champion them- you could message them if you like or just make a post/ send it in the group chat etc
I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

Please join me in supporting Ruaa and help get her out of the mud chuffed.org/project/help...
I am drowning today…
Drowning not in water, but in mud,
in helplessness, not in rain.
I drown because the ground has turned into sludge that swallows my steps,
and the sky pours down on us as if it is crying with us, not for us.

My tent. :(

This has always been one of my favorite quotes of Alice's. I think it explains the easy affinity between disability communities, queer communities (forged in the shadow of AIDS) and Palestinian communities (formed in the shadow of genocide): death is our "intimate shadow partner"—& so is love.
‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

In 2022, I commissioned @mollycrabapple.bsky.social to make a portrait of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social, as part of a series for the release of The Viral Underclass. Molly signed if for her. Alice was so excited to have a Molly Crabapple of herself!

I have been a monthly sustainer of Crips for eSIMs for Gaza for some time. As Alexander says, if you want a way to honor and mourn the memory of the fierce organizer for disability justice Alice Wong, please join us. Rest in power, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social
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.

Israel btw is blocking mobile home units from being brought into the strip which causes this constant need to get a new tent because the old one flooded

Gaza saw its first major rainfall of the season today. Within minutes, people were submerged and tents holding families and children flooded. This is slow death. There is no justification for why proper shelter that can withstand the elements is not being allowed in.
