This campaign is created on behalf of a very valuable and dear friend of mine, Hammad A., who is dealing with devastating tragedy and loss that none of us in the empirical core could possibly begin to imagine.
Hammad is one of the most thoughtful, considerate, and hard-working people I know -- and while he has tried his best to provide for his family under these immensely difficult circumstances, he now needs our help to keep him and his family alive.
Picture this: Your life has been turned upside down instantly; everything you have worked your whole life for -- gone in an instant. Everything you once knew turned to rubble and destruction. Your home, where you grew up and created childhood memories with -- gone. Your job, where you dedicated your energy and effort into building a career you loved -- gone. The most basic necessities we take for granted -- warmth, fresh air, the ability to move around freely and safely -- ripped away from you.
As you understand by now, there is only so much resilience the human body can endure, and the urgent need to do anything you can to save your family is the exact reason Hammad has allowed us the opportunity to help him and his family be freed from the immense suffering and stress they currently face.
His tent was recently flooded, damaging the little items that he had after losing everything, and destroying the little shelter he and his family had to protect them against the harsh elements.
Chuffed has a waiting period for processing and transferring funds. If you want your donation to IMMEDIATELY be sent to Hammad, paypal is linked below.
From a comfortable and safe home to a small tent that is unable to withstand the extreme temperatures of summer or winter, you wake up to the sounds of explosions everywhere. You try to resist the pain of hunger and cold, but it is beyond your strength. My dreams and hopes were unfortunately not realized. I studied law and had a big dream of becoming a lawyer, but the war unfortunately made it impossible for me to pursue that path. Now I have only one dream, which is to alleviate the pain of hunger and cold and provide a suitable shelter for my family. I am grateful to everyone who donated to help me save my family from genocide❤️‍🩹🙏

My children are starving. They cry themselves to sleep every night— not because they’re tired, but because they are hungry.
There is no food to give them. No clean water. No medicine. No way to keep them safe.
Donate whatever you can. A small act of kindness can keep a child alive another day.

"Every night, My brothers and sisters, my sick parents, and I sleep in fear, praying that it won’t be our last night alive. We live with constant terror, and all we wish for now is to survive and find safety. Please, we are begging you—help us with any amount, even the smallest, so we can escape this nightmare and find a place where we can live in peace."❤️‍🩹

abdul (@mohmad2) and his family need $500 by tonight to secure transportation to northern gaza. their house was completely destroyed & if they are able to make it in time they can get a free caravan, which usually costs over $6k p-yp-l - @ butchinternet c-sh-pp - $everlastingwife
today we have already raised $173.35! any funds over the goal will go towards food & other necessities for abdul and his family.
you can view their general fundraiser here:
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is soliciting public comment "to better understand how technology platforms deny or degrade (such as by 'demonetizing' and 'shadow banning') users’ access to services based on the content of the users’ speech or their affiliations, including activities that take place outside the platform."
This is the brainchild of FTC Chairman and rabid Trumpista Andrew Ferguson, who recently said that DEI "violates natural law." He is hoping these comments will say that social media companies are persecuting poor innocent right-wing transphobes by shutting down their accounts when they post hate speech/misinformation.
In the real world, we know that many victims of deplatforming are (a) queer people and (b) sex workers and other folks who post content about sex. If you or someone you know has had an account shut down, had content removed, or otherwise had their access to services denied or degraded for those reasons, please consider submitting a comment about it. The comment period closes May 21st. I understand folks may not be comfortable giving any info to the government right now, but you have the option to submit anonymously, or as part of an organization.
Right now, most of the comments are exactly what this guy wants: they're from conservatives complaining about being banned for, e.g., spreading vaccine misinformation. If that continues, the FTC will able to use that record of comments as justification to go after companies that are trying to fight misinformation and hate speech. By submitting a comment, you can prevent that! (Also, it would be incredibly satisfying to watch drag queens and cam girls crash this dude's conservative pity party. Even if you don't believe it will really make a difference (it will!), do it for that.)

My point is that depression is not universal and while there is a general cluster of symptoms, it manifests differently in everyone. You can’t always spot depression on the street, in the grocery store, or at them gym. Depression doesn’t always jump out at you and let you know that there’s a person who is hurting deeply. Don’t contribute to stigmatization.Â
