A two week old baby Palestinian girl lies on a big cushion inside a metal frame, outside in the shadow of a tent wall. Wearing a patterned onesie, she is stretching out her limbs and yawning.

It's 30°C in Gaza today, set to rise to 33°C in a few days, and tents do nothing to protect against the heat. Poor Talia is suffering. Please donate to help her parents buy more milk and water, plus other essentials. gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social @fairshare.help 🍉🍼

hi friends, I have a good friend who is severely epileptic and has been struggling to find a job. In recent years, they lost a child and their service animal and things have just been impossibly hard. They have to put towards their mortgage by the end of the week. If you can help, please do.

Google's Gemini AI tells a Redditor it's 'cautiously optimistic' about fixing a coding bug, fails repeatedly, calls itself an embarrassment to 'all possible and impossible universes' before repeating 'I am a disgrace' 86 times in succession

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS! example.com/article?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=emai /youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Aa1Uc_fRHXC0ay85 The portion following the question marks are source identifiers. Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Clean up your links before you share them with others. It's a small and simple piece of operational security that anyone can integrate into their practice.

URGENT: support twins Seela and Sidra ( 4 y/o) to survive!! We are Seela and Sidra, we are just children, twin sisters surviving in Gaza. We write this with the help of our buddy, Sister Claudia. Because we ourselves have trouble finding the words to understan...

picture of the moon, entirely full. who is this scarlet diva? the halo, the corona.

picture of the full moon, exposure turned down slightly; very copper-sienna, very demure

picture of the full moon, exposure and focus turned down slightly. the moon is orange-yellow-brown here, and there’s some tree branches in front of it. the moon is, as ever, that girl.

picture of the moon above a building and a nearby parking lot. she is completely full and blazing scarlet. the picture doesn’t do it justice. truly the stuff of magic and diva-dust.

don’t talk to me until I’ve had my picture of the moon 🌕❤️

y’all, who is this scarlet diva ??? I took this last night (and more) and I will forever waiting for her to write a love poem back to me 😭😍 this bashful show-off

the moon 😩 the longing, the yearning, the unfulfillment, the solitude

Freed from ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil files $20 million claim against Trump administration Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, whose role in campus protests against Israel led to his detention in immigration jail, is seeking $20 million in damages.

Mahmoud Khalil has filed a claim for $20 million in damages against the Trump administration, alleging Khalil was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted and smeared as an antisemite as the government sought to deport him over his prominent role in campus protests. apnews.com/article/mahm...

Please share & give to help 19 yo Hosam's family survive Israel's genocide in Gaza. They're being starved, attacked, & displaced, & donations are very few (816 dollars) & slow:

ghastly. children have died & gone missing in these floods & will likely never be found. Texas has massive populations of Black & brown people who have been routinely gerrymandered, voter suppressed etc & you have the absolute nerve to tell them they deserve what’s happening to them.

eat shit.

happy 4th of july to this diva ONLY

ICYMI: still open for volunteer readers for the Micro department @theoffingmag.bsky.social!! plz share with your friends 🙏🏼❤️✨

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.
