Amazing entrance

For personal context, before I went to the '98 Burning Man festival, one of the things I'd read from a couple different journalists was that "everybody" runs around naked. Which, fine by me, I'd already spent a lot of time in clothing-optional spaces, I'm not fanatic about it but it's nice.

So I got there early and set up a public shade structure on one of Black Rock City's main roads and spent most of each afternoon just watching the crowds go by. I don't remember seeing more than one actually naked person the whole week. I think a topless woman passed by my intersection maybe every half an hour, sometimes once an hour. So why in the hell were people, normally pretty smart and observant writers, coming away with the impression that everybody was naked?

Then I remembered an unrelated passage from Joel Garreau's great book about the history of the outer-ring suburbs, Edge City. Mall developers told him flat-out that they tried to keep the crowds in their malls less than 5% black. Not because they themselves were racist, but because they had determined, experimentally, that if more than 5% of the people in the mall are black, the median white shopper will wrongly describe the mall as at least half black, as mostly black. And not a few of them would describe it, at 6% black, as a mall where "only black people go." Why?

Because, emotionally, they were still upset over the last one when the next one came into view.

For context the original post hadn’t even connected that the line was about Louis. They said they saw there was controversy about the line and started explaining Anne’s connection with Popeyes. Top comment had to explain it was about Louis and things snow balled from there.

My name is Huda Skaik, and I am an English major student from Gaza.

For as long as I can remember, writing has been my way of understanding the world and connecting with people. During this war, when my own education was interrupted and my university was destroyed, I chose to keep writing. I became a journalist because I believed that even in the darkest moments, people’s stories deserve to be heard.

I have written about the lives of women, families, journalists, civil defence workers, and ordinary people trying to survive in Gaza. Through my work with different media platforms, I have tried to share the reality of my people with the world and give a voice to those who are often unheard.

But behind every story I write is my own story. I lost my home and have been displaced with my family. Like many others in Gaza, we are trying to survive under extremely difficult conditions while holding onto hope.

I have now been accepted to study a BA of Arts with a Minor in Journalism at Mary Immaculate College in Ireland. This opportunity means everything to me. It is a chance to continue my education, develop my skills, and keep telling stories with honesty and humanity.

To make this dream possible, I need support for my evacuation, visa process, tuition fees, and living expenses in Ireland.

I have spent my life trying to amplify the voices of others. Now I am asking you to help me protect my own voice and my future.

If you can donate, share, or amplify my story, I would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for standing with me.

We can NOT lose such a beautiful soul to the SAVAGE WAR! She is a young promising and aspiring journalist with high hopes and great dreams in life! I know SHE CAN MAKE A CHANGE!

Please donate to her campaign, reblog her post and amplify her voice! Please see the attached picture for the QR code to her campaign!

And that’s not anything against Regina either! She read the book and decided that yes she would be willing to playact his dead daughter-sister for half a million dollars. Kinda obsessed with her.

If you scroll past this… my mother will die 💔

I know that sounds harsh , but it’s the truth I’m living Right Now 😔

I keep wondering how many more times I’ll have to ask before someone hears our cry for help. While you’re reading this… she’s lying in a hospital bed waiting… struggling… fighting for her life.

The doctors told us the truth we were terrified to hear: If she doesn’t get this surgery immediately, we could lose her… forever 💔

We only need $999. That’s it. Not something impossible. that small amount… is the difference between life and death 😔

$999 might not mean much to some people… But to me, it means hearing my mother’s voice again. It means seeing her smile. It means she gets another chance to live.

So let me ask you something honestly..

If this were your mother and her life depended on $999… would you close this post and keep scrolling? Or Would you tell yourself “someone else will help’’?

Because that’s exactly what everyone is thinking right now. And that’s how people die. Not because they couldn’t be saved… but because everyone assumed someone else would do it . Please… don’t be the person who saw this and did nothing.🙏😔💔

I am not asking for luxury or comfort. I am asking for the chance to keep my mother safe. I am asking you to help us before we lose her . If our story reaches your heart, please don't leave without doing something. Your kindness today could be the reason my mother receives her medication in time🙏

Just $999… standing between her life and death. Don’t think someone else will help… because right now, no one has.🙏

Current process : USD 17,307 / $18,306
