One of a number of passive aggressive notes that are popping up, along with similar comments despite my cleaning, cooking and spending what little money I have on groceries here

“When you don’t have to spend for baby furniture and private schooling, you have more disposable income for adult toys,” [marketing researcher] Folkes noted.

"DINK" was being used from the start to refer to the economic class of people who send their kids to private school, because those are the consumers marketers were interested in. it's the same as with marketing to gay consumers (which coincidentally grew enormously during this same time—we might think of a coyote in a time of drought going to the suburbs to find food and water). the myth of gay affluence arose in part because homophobes used research about gay wealth that came from marketers, who surveyed gay magazine readers (potential consumers) rather than gay people. basically, they found that wealthy people are wealthy. i'd be surprised if "DINK" marketing research wasn't similarly based on magazine readers, who are (were?) categorically wealthier than the average person in the u.s.

Please donate to my friends Mahrah and Mahmoud (@mahrahpalestine and @palestinian95)!

They are siblings raising funds for their family to survive genocidal famine in Gaza. Their fundraiser has been vetted by 90-ghost and shared by fairuzfan.

They have both been so caring towards me as I've been healing from surgery, and I hope that you will offer care to them. <3

@fadel-dani is only 23 years old, a third-year IT student, and he and his family have been displaced multiple times in the genocide. When his family returned to their home, bombs were dropped on them, destroying his childhood home. Fadel woke up in a hospital and learned that, while unconscious, he had undergone surgery to remove iron fragments that shot into his body in the bombing. Because of the extreme danger and the collapse of the health system, some of the pieces could not removed at their location. The doctor assessed his health and told his family that he needs to receive treatment in another country as soon as possible. Obviously, doing so safely requires coordination and funds for both travel and the surgical fees once they get to a hospital. He has been living in a tent and trying to raise funds since then.

After fundraising for over 300 days, he had raised €14,500 (almost 50% of the €30,000 he needs). Then April 25, GoFundMe deleted his fundraiser with no warning or clear explanation. He contacted GoFundMe's technical support, but they ignored him and didn't respond.

He has had to restart all over again with a new fundraiser. So far only €1,210 donations have come in, a mere 4% of what he needs. All donations were returned to their donors, so if you previously donated, please return that money to him!

He is still suffering the physical and psychological pain of feeling shrapnel from the Israeli bombing that destroyed his childhood home embedded in his body.

The people of Gaza are forced to live hearing unexpected gunfire at any time 💔. Fadel @fadel-dani regularly has to listen to terrifying sounds like this recording he sent me.

Fadel's health is already in critical condition; he has iron shrapnel embedded in his body which cannot be removed without expensive, difficult surgery.

His original gofundme was taken down without warning. At time of writing, his new gofundme still has not even reached €1,000 (3%) out of the €30,000 goal

The psychological distress that Fadel is under is immense because of his health, his lack of safety, and gofundme's cruel treatment of his campaign. He deserves to know safety and rest and to be healthy again.

Please, help Fadel so that he can survive!! Thank you ❤️
