As the summer heat simmers down, many Palestinians are preparing for winter. It is coming! They have mentioned how it will rain and they are worried the heavy rainfall will overflow the streets as the sewage system has been destroyed. This mean their tents can get flooded! Their living space would be compromised and their chances to catch a virus will only increase! ! !
Mohammed Al-Habil (@alhabil) informs that he wants to purchase a new tent, winter jackets, and warm blankets for his family. His family consists of his wife, Aya, his 3 young children, Ahmed (8), Mira (4), and Osama (6), and his elderly parents who are chronically ill. So it's imperative they are ready for the cold, especially since his kids suffer from scabies, the skin rash that has spread from the polluted water, while his both of his parents are in dire need of their medication and insulin for their blood pressure and diabetes!
So let's help him, please! We can do so by achieving the goal of 32K in the next 3 days! €30,144 has been raised as of writing this (Sept 20th)! There is €1,861 left to go! If we do the math, 372 people need to contribute a minimum of €5 to succeed!
You can also match me! I've given €5, but you're more than welcome to give more!

I can't articulate how utterly inhumane it is that we've not only normalized, but valorized, sleep deprivation. We treat it like an achievement.
Sleep deprivation increases your risk for a myriad of serious illnesses like heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and stroke.
And that's just to name a few.
Some of the most important cellular work we do all day happens while we're sleeping. When we don't get enough quality sleep and rest, our cells literally can't effectively repair themselves.
It literally damages every system in our bodies.
Capitalism lies.
Getting enough sleep is actually one of the most meaningfully "productive" things we can do.
what will it be, boss? the comfort of misery or the pain of change?
people in the notes of that porn addiction post like "i've had men jerk off to porn when i was right here being sexually available" and beyond the idea that not wanting to have sex is some sort of pathology (bad), like... do you really not understand the difference between sex and masturbation?
sex is a social action, doing it means you are taking the needs, desires, and wellbeing of the person you're fucking into account. it takes a certain amount of mental energy and a certain mood to do that? pulling up xhamster and cranking it is like, using similar body parts, but its a completely different task.
if you're with a guy and you're expecting sex with him to be basically him masturbating with your body, well... that's something that needs to be specified and negotiated ahead of time, not the default assumption for sex.
