Help Mohamed Get His Family to Safety Hello, this is Meave Gallagher, the sponsor of this fundraising campaign for our dear friend, Mohamed Ahmed, the displaced Palestinian farmer growing a small farm in Mawasi, Khan Yunis. His original g...

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend.

Happy International Women's Day from both of us. He writes, "Believe me, the last time I remembered this day was in 2023. / The war came and distracted us from many things we used to celebrate."

Let's make sure his family will have a beautiful Eid at least.

Goodnight from Kit Ambler, finding the journey home from his Harrowhound PTSD support group even more difficult than usual. Goodnight from the abandoned armaments factory at Bishopbere, where the temporal shades of Canary Girls remain stained by TNT. Goodnight from Hookland.

Different picture with the same description as the first one.

The interior of the water tower had been restored to its former glory, or at least that's what a tourist brochure would say. The railings of the cast iron staircase had their old gilt finish. So how come, under your touch, they felt flaky, uneven... corroded?

A path lined by tall dark limbed trees. It is very early spring: the trees still leafless, yellow flowers blooming in the banks.

Away to the edges: the border between England and Wales. The age of the land sinks into you, here. Makes you ancient too.

And if Turkey decides it's feeling kind of a way about that, on the 'activate NATO obligations' lines, then we are all about as far away from 'Done' on the spectrum as it's possible to get.

Their supposed lack of an airforce does not seem to have stopped them making the Straits of Hormuz basically impassable. Or lobbing a missile at Turkey.

Yeah, the new Ayatollah is very much not giving me 'done' vibes.

Mohammed is seeking our support for his family today. ❤️❤️‍🩹

Heba hasn't had donations I some time and is struggling to access food. ❤️❤️‍🩹

If you're a fan of horror, folk horror, folk lore, contemporary fantasy then visiting Hookland will give you chills and joy.

My children are freezing and starving 💔❄️
Their tiny bodies can’t endure this cold and hunger. My husband was taken prisoner in the final days of the war, and I’m about to give birth alone 🤰🏻
We urgently need €200 — 10 people giving €20 can save us 🙏
Please don’t ignore us

Do you know, this is an interesting question because I find it very easy to.think of haunted house stories *set* in the 19th century, but almost all of them were written in the 20th.
'The Happy Autumn Fields' by Elizabeth Bowen has a real gnawing, exquisite sadness about it. #MorbidMonday

Marah has been sick recently and now little Mila, her daughter, is sick too, as viral infections spread easily in Gaza. Please continue to give if you can and share:

Will probably retreat to my Mastodon cave where I can be my very own type of curmudgeonly goblin.

Was meant to be the title of a harrowing British apocalypse TV series and that's what it should have remained.

I'm certainly not going to sodding Threads, I can promise you that much.

Ahmad is suffering with the rising prices in Gaza and would deeply appreciate help today.

Wouldn't really recommend as an age gap, BTW. Too big for them to enjoy the same kind of stuff, but small enough that the rivalry is pretty smoking.

14 and 9. ❤️

Sigh.
Ads I'd probably tolerate.
Forced subscription will probably be it for me. I'm.npt paying for a service that treats so many friends so horribly.

One of the reasons I don’t just give up on social media is things like stunt performers, set designers and costume people posting about their work.

If you know of any folks on Bluesky, please suggest them. It’s one of the few things that can be good about algorithms, and I haven’t seen them here.

Just an awful thing that the platform most likely to attract users sympathetic to their plight ended up being one of the most implacably hostile to them.

I heavily suspect it won't make much difference to our Palestinian friends. 😔

Oh. Any idea if this is good news or same old, same old? Venture capitalist doesn't sound encouraging.

It's hard to internalize the fact that the administration really does believe the Iraq war was "woke" and that they would be able to easily defeat a substantially more powerful nation simply by being based chads

I’m rewatching The Fall of the House of Usher, and the acid rain at the end of the first episode is truly diabolical. The irony of the pollution suit being how the Prospero discovered the building….

I’m still not sure why Carla Gugino didn’t get cast in a ton of other things after this.
