"Without love, it cannot be seen"

that's right

My name is Tawfiq Al-Tatri. I am 40 years old, a father of five, and a survivor—but survival here in Gaza is not truly living. My children and I have lost everything. Our home, our safety, our community—gone.

We now live in a refugee camp, crammed inside a fragile tent, shivering through the freezing nights, unsure where we will be tomorrow. We have been displaced over and over again, fleeing destruction, heartbreak, and loss. My home was bombed with my family inside. By some miracle, we survived—but so many of our neighbors and relatives did not.

As a father, my only mission now is to protect my children, to give them a future beyond war and suffering. I dream of getting them to safety, away from the fear that haunts their every step. But I cannot do it alone.

That is why I am reaching out, with hope in my heart, asking for your kindness. Your support can help us cover the costs of leaving Gaza for Egypt—giving my children a chance at life, at healing, at simply being children again.

Please, if you can, stand with us. Help me save my children from the trauma of war. Every donation, every share, every prayer brings us closer to safety

Thank you from the depths of my heart.

Hey, @pantasticjuh I LOVE this response!

I'm late to pride whoops, but the PutaFeminista movement definitely bears mentioning! This is the only free article I could find online, here's a good snippet for anyone scrolling:

Sex workers' fight for bodily autonomy & class mobility are where patriarchy & capitalism intersect. The true spirit of pride involves recognizing our sex working revolutionaries by taking up the torch and continuing to fight for ALL of our rights.

I personally recommend reading the intro + section "On bullshit, whores, & feminism" (3k words) if not the full paper. (link again)

don't call an ambulance on someone who does not want one.

Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.
