dream of oddity

Yes, food has entered the Strip…

but not as aid — it’s being sold to us at high prices.

Prices have dropped slightly, but they’re still far from normal. The same goes for money transfer fees — lower, yet still too high.

The army hasn’t withdrawn from most areas of Gaza.

Entire cities like Rafah haven’t seen the army move back even a single meter

Anyone who approaches Rafah or the so-called “yellow line” is targeted immediately — that line marks the areas under full occupation control.

Tens of thousands of missing people are still trapped under the rubble of their homes, waiting to be pulled out and buried with dignity.

No country or organization is helping. Civilians dig with their bare hands 💔

Thousands of detainees from Gaza remain in occupation prisons, including doctors like Dr. Hossam Abu Safieh, with no sign of release.

The bombing has never stopped — not for a single day

Every day there are airstrikes, shootings, and martyrs… while the world stays silent and hypocritical.

We still live in tents, worn and fragile, as winter approaches.

The rain and wind will soon bring another disaster.

Gas hasn’t entered Gaza; we only hear about it in the news.

We cook over open fires, and even firewood is expensive.

Meat, chicken, and vegetables are available in the markets,

but only for those who can afford them — a kilo of chicken costs around 50 USD!

Most medicines are gone from hospitals and pharmacies.

Those who find a painkiller are considered lucky.

Water is another daily struggle — we travel long distances to buy 20 liters for 10 shekels.

Since the ceasefire was announced, the world seems to think the war has ended.

Aid has slowed, attention has faded, and many have forgotten us.

But the truth is… nothing has changed.

We are still here, still suffering, still waiting for your voices, your prayers, your solidarity.

This is how that one scene in KH2 went, right???

About Schumacher in the "才レさま烈伝" comic

Contact your representatives, US folx. Yes, even if you're scared. Yes, even if you think it doesn't matter, even if you think they won't listen. Write an email if you can't make a call. Call after hours and leave a message. Call during office hours if you feel up to it, but do something. Call every day. Email every day. Fucking bother your rep. They work for you, not the other way around.

Your single call is not the point. The point is the aggregate of calls and emails. The point is that even "safe" Republicans don't feel really safe right now. The point is that "safe" Democrats are feeling pressure from the left due to the success of DSA candidates. You think they won't listen, and they'll probably try to make you think they're not, but they do, in the aggregate. The midterms have them running scared right now, and now is the time to shut this shit down.

Script:

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].

[IF CALLING CONGRESS]: I'm calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose the App Store Accountability Act, the Parents Decide Act, and any other legislation that mandates age verification on internet platforms. Current age verification methods are unreliable and threaten our privacy, and they let predatory tech platforms off the hook without accountability.

[IF CALLING STATELEG]: I'm calling to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to oppose any legislation that mandates age verification on internet platforms. Current age verification methods are unreliable and threaten our privacy, and they let predatory tech platforms off the hook without accountability.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
