im pro choice and i think there are a lot of good pro choice arguments but my bad evil (speaking facetiously) argument is that i kind of dont care and i dont think it matters for anyone but the specific person whose body it concerns. im not religious so i dont believe in souls. if a lady finds out she’s pregnant and doesn’t want it and aborts it without telling anyone then like so what? i dont feel bad for the fetus. i don’t remember being a fetus. nobody does. it might’ve become a person, but so might every sperm and egg that goes unused. I might’ve become a world class ballerina if i didnt stop taking lessons when i was 6, so i expect all ballet enthusiasts to now start crying for the talent stolen from them. And the situation in which i *do* feel bad is if the woman has her life derailed suffering through an unwanted pregnancy. See, then i feel bad because there’s a woman in physical and emotional pain. I also feel terrible for women who suffer miscarriages during wanted pregnancies. but also because those women are going through physical and emotional pain. i dont feel bad for the fetus itself. isn’t this a normal way for empathy to work or am i somehow evil in some way i haven’t considered
sometimes i remember my little brother doesn’t even know my middle names and i regret everything

Etaf and her family are evacuated Palestinians and need €10,000 in their campaign to enroll the children in school preferably before the semester ends.
Detailed family info, needs:
Nov 9:
The family is in Egypt but are still struggling to survive. Etaf wants to enroll her children in school again before the current semester ends. However, public schools are only available to Egyptian residents (which Palestinians aren't) and only expensive private schools are available. To continue her children's education, she needs €10,000 in her campaign (includes extra fees) as soon as possible before Dec 31.
Family info (detailed):
The family of 7 lost everything - their home, livelihood, and belongings.
Eldest sons Moataz and Moatasem and daughter Maria (7) were top students but their education was interrupted by the war.
They have 2 other young children: Adam (4) and Amira (3).
They were evacuated to Egypt in March, where they are still struggling because nobody is helping them. Governmental aid is very slow.
In late October, Etaf's husband Youssef went to Amman to help provide for his family. He is returning in early November due to expensive living costs there.
Needs:
Priority: Enrolling children in school - €10,000
Youssef's project which will help him mke a living - €50,000
Rent and utilities

"i can't benefit from oppressive power structures, i'm literally nice :)" is a disturbingly common sentiment on here and if u express it then i can never trust u again
yoy all just hate me because I'm cold and distant and don't put effort into any relationships and off putting and frustrating to try to help or make plans with and I don't text and I don't call and I don't like doing much and I constantly make excuses for it all
sometimes someone will casually mention using chatgpt or some other generative ai thing and I can actually feel the little
above my head
fuck all this “hoping they heal and become a better person” shit, i want him to start drinking again and i want it to be because of me
Happy Minecraft day
