I'm Omar from Gaza, 20 years old.

I had many goals for this new year. I was going to achieve my ambitions and succeed, but the war on Gaza stopped me from all these things I hoped for.

While students around the world go to universities and achieve their dreams and aspirations, I'm stuck because of the war.

I don't know what to do, I can't find joy.

Everything was destroyed, and my university was ruined.

I'm a diligent student, and I hope you can help me and spread my campaign as soon as possible to save my life and continue my education.

Your donation and support will make a big difference in my life. Thank you.

I’m Dave, I’m chronically ill and I’m just coming off a medical leave from work and I’m really behind on expenses due to medical care. I am 100% tube fed and hydrated, and I will now be going to the hospital 3x a week for IV hydration.

If you want to help me with some of my needed and reoccurring medical supplies, here is my wishlist

If you want to help me monetarily, my cashapp is $forcewielder - message for PayPal/venmo

My deductible rolled over as of July 1, so I am now paying co-pays on appointments and prescriptions again. Primary care is $25, specialists are $50, and my most expensive prescription on its own, Emend, is $108/month.

Still paying off some bills I had when I was unemployed briefly so i need help with getting back and forth from work

Here in Venezuela, the goverment is mining on ecosystems that were once protected, slowly destroying whole mountains and devastating the local fauna and flora. And nobody cares.

Now the Kusari Tepuy has been destroyed so some rich assholes could celebrate a fucking birthday party, and they are just walking scot-free.

I hate it here.

EDIT:

Adding this to the post proper because some of you are stupid and it makes my blood boil.

Not everything bad you hear about my country’s situation is “made up CIA propaganda”. Sure, a lot has been exaggerated about Nicolás Maduro’s goverment and his late predecessor, Hugo Chavéz. That’s true. That being said, there have been a lot of bad things too, the Arco Minero being one of them. That’s also true.

And the #TepuyParty? That was not Maduro. That was not something caused by our so-called “dictatorial regimen”. The ones who did that are just very, very wealthy people, most of which (if not all of them) are actually from the opposite political party. They have nothing to do with the Chavista political party, believe it or not.

So unless you are Venezuelan yourself and living in Venezuelan soil right here right now, you better shut up before you write something this stupid.

Please help me, I don't know how much more I can handle out here

I felt the need to share here as well—

Say no to AI art. Please read before commenting. Fan art is cute, putting my art into a parasite machine, without my consent, and throwing up horrifying monsters back at me is not.

We are not fighting technology in this AI fight. We are fighting for ethics. How do I say this clearer? Our stuff gets stolen all the time, we get it, but it is not an excuse to normalize the current conditions of AI art.

These datasets have >>EXACT<< copies of artists’ works and these parasites just profit off the work of others with zero repercussion. No one cares how “careful” you are with your text prompts when the data can still output blatant copies of artists’ work without their permission. And people will do this unknowingly since these programs are so highly accessible now. There are even independent datasets that take from just a handful of artists, that don’t share what artists’ works they use, and create blatant copies of existing work. There’s even private medical records being leaked. Why do you think music is still hard to just fully recreate with AI in comparison? It’s because organizations like the RIAA protect music artists. Visual artists just want similar protection. So, wonderfully for us, Concept Art Association has started working towards the steps of protecting artists and making this an ethical practice. I highly suggest if you care about art, please support. Link to their gofundme here. One small step at a time will make living as an artist today less jarring. Artists will not just sit and cope while we continue to get walked on. For those who apparently do not get it, it is about CONSENT. Again, the datasets contain EXACT copies of artist work without our permission. Even if you use it “correctly” there’s still a chance it’s going to create blatant rip offs. This fight is about not letting these techbros take and take and take for profit just because they can while ignoring the possible harm and consequences of it. This is just ol’ fashioned imperialist behavior with a new hat and WE SEE IT. Thanks for reading!!! Much love!
