giving FDR double-polio?

out of context, this would be a really sweet photo. but those bbs need formula and diapers and milk and fortified cereal and not to live in a place where death from above is a constant risk.
you know how i feel about the babies, and they’re the ones at highest risk.

it sure did! vanity fair wrote a LURID piece of journalism on it in 2001 that was so explicit for what it implied i, a delicate 18, was wholly unprepared for what i was reading about. i cannot divorce fursonas from wanting to fuck your stuffed animals, now’🙁

lmao what?? how long is “a while”?’

should i know who that is? i try not to pay attention to anyone with the worst spelling of that name.

many who have @habibiwolf.bsky.social on 50 blocklists should be filling the coffers of her modest campaign bit.ly/wolf-and-cub as an apology for treating her like a jerk for defending @noorhassan3.bsky.social & @sonofnoor5.bsky.social as being real palestinians in real need bit.ly/support-noor

Reconnecting families The ICRC helps in restoring contact between, tracing, or reuniting thousands of family members separated by armed conflict, violence, disasters, or migration.

divya, has zakaria or his mother tried the icrc family link program? i imagine they’d have an advantage because in ukraine she has freedom of movement

my pleasure! i hope it’s useful

just posted! if it doesn't answer all your questions, let me know!

@meave.bsky social bit.ly/help-mohamed 3b. The last donors? 21-24 July All anonymity has been preserved. • As noted, the nearer a donation is to the present, the likelier it is to be "on hold" • As the 28 July disbursement included 0 donations since 24 July (see p. 3), I included donations as far back as 21 July, just in case • The full donors list is public: bit. ly/all-gfm-donors A rectangle with a list of donors / donations in them: Chantal James $30 • 10 d 24 July Nat Calhoun $10 • 10 d 24 July Nina Lakhani $250 • 10 d 24 July Grover Wehman-Brown $29 • 12d 22 July Cynthia Michel $50 • 12 d 22 July Andrew Wagster $25 • 12 d 22 July 22 July $67 • 12 d • Anonymous 22 July $50 • 12 d • Anonymous 22 July $25 • 12 d • Anonymous 21 July $5 • 13 d • Anonymous 121 July $50 • 13 d • Anonymous 21 July $50 • 13 d • Anonymous Alexandria Neason $30 - 13d 21 July 21 July $10 • 13 d • Anonymous at the bottom of the rectangle, it says "GFM refunds donors "an average of 7-10 business days (weekends and holidays excluded)," so, 12-15 August. (Refunds include processing fees charged to the campaign.)" bio.site/meave

@meave.bsky social. bit.ly/help-mohamed 4. What If Mohamed Didn't Get My Donation? • Before I close the campaign, I'll email a reminder via GFM (it doesn't share your emails). • To be double-sure, I'll also request a refund for all those whose donation is on hold. • I'll leave the closed campaign up (until/unless GFM takes it down) Inside the rectangle, I've written, If you're still able to donate your refund to Mohamed via his new campaign— bit.ly/help-mohamed, which redirects to chuffed.org/project/help-mohamed—please consider it. Every day life grows more precarious: Food is harder to find; prices fluctuate hourly; bread is filling, but even fortified flour isn't nutritious enough; at least they have the small farm, for now. Last week several relatives who'd been living nearby in the "safe zone" for as long as Mohamed and his family had been in their place were martyred by bombs-"safe" is less than meaningless. biosite/meave

ANY MORE QUESTIONS? I'll be as transparent as possible while respecting Mohamed's privacy. Links at bio.site/meave. Look for more frequent updates on the new campaign platform, where I'll repost Mohamed's Bluesky updates for anyone who doesn't follow him there. Maybe some exclusive media! Remember: The redirect hasn't changed! Just keep using bit.ly/help- mohamed, and you'll end up where you want to be. Thank you for supporting Mohamed—you're helping to save 13 people's lives.

Last three images in my tedious little explainer. then i will send the "closing time" email, close the GFM down, and request refunds for the remaining donations "on hold," just in case GFM decides to get shirty.

here we go.

@meave.bsky social bit.ly/help-mohamed 2. So, What's the Problem? • GFM has been holding $652.23 in donations — less transaction fees — since at least 29 July • Most recent disbursement: 28 July • No donations were incorporated into that amount since Thursday, 24 July Inside a blue rectangle, a screenshot from the GFM transfers page taken on 24 July; it shows $690.79 ready to be transferred, and $242.45 being processed. the numbers are circled because i sent it to mohamed. the caption reads: "Transfers page (app view), 24 July 2025" next, a screenshot of the deposit of the same amount of that transfer, dated 28 July.

As promised, some what and why and how about closing @alfilfil.bsky.social's GFM (gofund.me/9344a758), donors who may be eligible for a refund—though I don't know who, i have enough data points we might make an educated guess? or an uneducated guess. i hate GFM.
7 images, two posts, let's go.

my building is working on a 24/hr distract+escort plan. we've already had a couple big dudes in an unmarked, double-parked SUV asking for a "julio" at 7am. we didn't find julio through the chat, but we have an emergency plan, and a planning committee (it's a big building). we're new, but committed.

it's been the official slogan of CONCACAF and CONMEBOL—the western hemisphere, if you will—since about 1492-ish, no?

you're in germany, now you're arrested for equating the One True Holocaust, the Greatest of All Crimes

i kinda hate marking the similarities; it makes me itchy, like the guilt is partly how we got HERE in the first place.

you're right, of course, i'm just mad it's like the only one that "counts"

solidarity.
indigenous peruvians deserve better than amnesty. not after all the ways and for how long they've been abused.

(my niece and nephew just got their peruvian citizenship, and their abuela came up to visit and celebrate. they're so cute, and everyone was so proud.)

the imperial core is trying to prevent their resident from and punish them for speaking and acting against this genocide. france rescues a girl from hell on earth only to send her back and pause evacuations while they reexamine her cohort for secret antisemitism israeli ops could find. bastards.

ahhhh i caught up with mohamed instead of making the post, but tomorrow is my hard deadline so i will have it done by then! sorry!

i wonder what group in the uk is diligently using their version of foia every day to get *their* spy planes’ footage that they fly back and forth from cyprus multiple times per day. you know, to “look for the hostages”

i was planning on publishing an explainer tomorrow morning—will that work? i have lots of screenshots and i’ve been using the platform for a year, so i think i can answer *most* questions.

briefly: once i close it, if your donation wasn’t disbursed, gfm owes you a full refund. i’ll have links!

What seared Skibbereen into the public consciousness was the work of three men in particular, one a doctor of divinity, the other of medicine, and the third, an artist and journalist. Dr. Daniel Donovan practiced medicine in the Skibbereen area and was a regular contributor to the leading medical journals of the time. It was he who first made the distinction that now seems quite obvious: there was a difference between deaths caused by diseases-which he recorded —and those caused by starvation. Donovan's observations show that the early onset of acute hunger pain subsides after approximately twenty-four hours. He quotes one of his cases as telling him that feelings of acute hunger were followed by symptoms that included "a feeling of weakness and sinking and an insatiable thirst for cold water." Donovan recorded that as the wasting process proceeded, the eyes "took on a most peculiar stare. The skin began to give off an ugly odour, at the same time began to be covered by a brown, filthy looking coating." At this stage, Donovan noted, the sufferer "staggered as if drunk, spoke weakly like one suffering from cholera, whining childishly and burst into tears for no apparent reason. The physical deterioration was accompanied by profound psychological changes." Donovan described cases of people who were reduced to "a state of imbecility" and "almost complete idiocy."6 The divine who helped to bring it home to a wider public that such sights were commonplace in West Cork, and ipso facto elsewhere in Ireland, was Dr. Robert Traill, the vicar of Schull. James Mahoney was an artist living in Cork who was commissioned by the Illustrated London News to report on conditions in the Skibbereen area after Donovan and Traill had brought…

…these to public attention by writing letters to the most influential organ of the day, The Times of London. Mahoney toured the famine areas of West Cork under the tutelage of Donovan and Traill. He was powerfully affected by what he saw. His emotions translated themselves into his sketches, which contain some of the most telling images of the Famine. We are not rich in pictorial records of the catastrophe, for artists are not normally drawn to unfashionable situations that abound in horror and lethal fever and are correspondingly short of patrons who might purchase their work. Apart from Mahoney's, only one major set of depictions of famine scenes immediately comes to mind: the works of Lady Butler, whose painting Evicted, showing a despairing father weeping outside his tumbled cottage, now hangs in the Department of Folklore at University College Dublin (a gift from Cecil Woodham-Smith) and is one of the Famine's iconic images. Mahoney's reports and sketches, which began appearing in the early part of 1847, had the same galvanic effect on British public opinion that the BBC reporter Michael Buerk achieved with his coverage of the famine in Ethiopia in 1984. Mahoney's reports were a causative factor in the setting up of a powerful relief committee that collected large sums of money. The British public, at that stage anyway, was far more charitably disposed to Irish famine victims than was the British government.

the description of the physical deterioration is pretty terrifying.

Eradicating the language and a sense of oneself as "Irish."

if you can handle it — and if you can read the news, you can handle it — this book has a lot of revelations. tim pat coogan is very good at tying british imperialism to international imperialism to the fate of the irish during the Great Hunger. (another man-made famine)
