Of Life and Other Happy Things

How long will this suffering continue? How long will this people have to face the machinery of death and destruction with meager resources against a massive military arsenal?

Isn't it time for the pain to end? Isn't it time for the bloodshed to stop? Isn't it time for children to sleep in peace, and for mothers to know their sons are safe?

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

I don’t know how much longer I can keep begging. For days, I have been posting, sharing, and asking for help, hoping that someone would hear my cry. My mother and father are elderly, their health is getting worse, and they urgently need their medication. We still need $477, and time is running out.😔

The Tumblr account I relied on to reach people was deleted, and it felt like another door closing in my face. I am exhausted, scared, and carrying a weight that feels impossible to bear. All I want is to get the medicine my parents need before their condition becomes even worse.💔

If only 19 people donate $25, we can reach the goal. We can do this together. Please don’t scroll away. What may seem like a small amount to you could mean everything to my family 😔💔

I have been pleading for days because I have no other choice. My parents spent their lives loving me, protecting me, and sacrificing for me. Now they need help, and I cannot bear the thought of losing them because I couldn’t afford their medication. Please, from the bottom of my heart, donate if you can and share our story if you cannot. Every minute matters, and every act of kindness brings us one step closer to saving my mother and father 🙏💔😔

Urgent Appeal for My Father’s Life 💔

I am begging you from the bottom of my heart, please do not scroll past my father’s suffering.

My father was seriously injured in the head after a nearby bombardment. The injury is severe, and his condition is getting worse. Doctors have told us that he urgently needs surgery as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration and potentially save his life.

We are devastated and completely unable to afford the cost of the operation. The surgery costs $1,200. So far, we have managed to collect $386, but there is still $814 remaining, and we must raise it as quickly as possible before it is too late.

Every moment we wait puts my father at greater risk.

This appeal was originally posted on 30 May 2026, and we are still urgently continuing our effort to gather the remaining amount.

Please, I am pleading with you. If you can donate, no matter how small the amount, you could help save my father’s life. If you cannot donate, please share this appeal with others. Every share may reach someone who can help.

I cannot bear the thought of losing my father because we could not gather the money for his treatment in time. Watching him suffer while feeling helpless is a pain I cannot describe.

Please, help us give him a chance to survive and recover.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
