Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” that was written in 1950 is set on the day of August 4th, 2026 (tomorrow)!! Now’s your chance to read it around the time it’s based in!

After more than two years, my main account @DrDarine has been terminated. This account was not just a social media profile. It was the platform through which I shared my family's suffering with the world, especially Mariam's stories. It was my only way to connect with people, raise awareness about our situation, and make our voices heard.

Before the war, we were ordinary people, living normal lives. But unfortunately, I don't feel that anymore. I don't even know who we've become. All I can see and feel is my life collapsing before my eyes.

I kindly ask everyone to stand by my side, and especially by Mariam's side. Please don't let the termination of my account, or any other action, become another burden that adds to our pain and suffering.

We've known Darine for more than two years now. What happened to her and the termination of her account are simply unacceptable.

A 19-year-old black trans girl was shot to death this month, and there has been absolutely no media reporting on it - despite extensive reporting on almost identical incidents in the same part of Florida, at the same time. The police, as usual, misgendered her in the police report and have done nothing to find her killer. Her name was Jayla Mcgee. Black trans people deserve to grow old.

so bc i am a Gross Dude my friends i and sometimes rate our burps and my coworker (who is a teen girl) burped in front of me once and i instinctively rated it
