My name is Hayat, and I'm from the devastated Gaza Strip. I have two children, Khaled and Fatima, whom I gave birth to during the war. I once worked as an engineer. Now I'm unemployed and homeless. My children and I are hungry, and we live a very miserable life. Please help me.

Hayat has posted a new update to her campaign, with photos of her family and her two beautiful children, Khaled and Fatima. Earlier this year they lost shelter and clothing during the bombing. Please share and help her save funds to relocate and survive the coming winter. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Communication with residents of N. Gaza under bombing is sporadic at best. However, I did hear from Hayat this morning. She is trying to get south. Bluesky still deletes Palestinian accounts, so she receives very little support.
Please share if you can.

I've had this anthology for several years, but I finally got to visit Cairo and read some of it! 😊
With fantastic stories by @gailcarriger.bsky.social, @ktempestbradford.com, @nisishawl.bsky.social, and more!

Hayat said that her daughter, Fatima, is in the hospital now for malnutrition. Please keep them in your thoughts. 🙏🏾

I have known my friend for several months. Eslam is a talented visual artist and painter, but recently, she lost all her artwork. Her family urgently needs support for her to continue the fight for their well-being. Please help if you can.

This is my friend Eslam, whom I’ve known for months. She has been tireless in her efforts and is close to her goal for her family's rebuilding efforts. Your donation can make a difference in her life and is a powerful act of kindness. Please consider helping her on her journey. gofund.me/74076d7b

@nohaalhabil.bsky.social sent me photo and video of the tent her family lost in the rain last night. These tents are the barest protection people have from the cold and filth. 😭💔 They cost $500. Please share, and give if you are able.🙏🏾

It's still Halloween season, right? 🤔

Rewatching this overlooked 80's gem tonight. Featuring TWO Uzi-toting women leads (inc. Catherine Mary Stewart), an 80's synth soundtrack, a great comet-made zombies premise, and Robert Beltran before he was cool (and then uncool).

Hello, Bluesky! I write fantasy, erotica, and some horror. I support writers, especially other BIPOC, queer and other marginalized folks. I post about politics, pop culture, and anti-imperialism.🍉 For a taste of my erotica, my latest free story is at www.literotica.com/s/tamarind-s...

Eslam is the oldest of her siblings. She made it to Egypt so she could support the rest of her family. They depend upon whatever she can send them. Her sister was injured from a gunshot last week. Read Eslam's story at the link. gofund.me/a567034f Whatever you donate will help; please share! 🙏🙏🍉🍉🍉

At the comic book shop today looking at games and this one was pitched to me as the opposite of Settlers of Catan.

Colonizers come to your land and your goal as players is to eliminate them... What?! I had to get it. 😀

Who wants to play with me?

It's election year in the Galactic Empire. I agree that Tarkin's disintegrating a planet was terrible, but hear me out.

If you like Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, George Miller, and stories about stories, this romantasy was visually delectable and a lot of fun to watch.
