I write to you with a heavy heart 💔 My children and I are going through very difficult times, and no one is asking about us. My son needs treatment and medication, and he needs milk, diapers, and urgent care. Please don't leave us alone in these difficult circumstances. 😔

We need your help. The situation is extremely difficult. You are our last hope. Food, clothes, milk, rent—everything has become incredibly expensive. My son, Ahmed, needs heart surgery and eye surgery. Please help my son so he can complete his treatment and undergo the operations. In addition to my family in Gaza, my parents, brothers, and sisters are also living in dire circumstances. Please help me for the sake of my family.

My name is Sharif, and I suffer from a back injury. I need intensive treatment and physical therapy to recover. Unfortunately, we lost everything in Gaza; we have no income and cannot work. The situation is extremely difficult.

PLEASE HELP 🙏🏽 EVEN A SIMPLE REPOST AND COMMENTING CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Ahmed is suffering greatly. His condition is worsening because I can't afford his surgery; I keep postponing it. Every post I ignore means an extra hour of pain. Please donate; your help could save his life.

Please, my mother is in the hospital and urgently needs medical treatment and healthy food for her recovery. Please, I don't want to lose her. Even a small donation would help—and please share this post. 🥲

A wonderful article I thought I'd share is "12 Black Disabled Activists and Advocates You Need to be Following" by Charlotte Stasio from the website "World Institute on Disability" (link down below!)

wid.org/12-black-disabled-activists-and-advocates-you-need-to-be-following-this-black-history-month/

Again, happy disability pride month! And dear runner of this blog, I wish you much love and happiness, as I know running this must be very stressful with all the racist comments that come your way. Take breaks when you can! much love <3

If someone were, as a random example, say hospitalized for over two weeks with no explanation, I think that should automatically trigger a special election to replace them.

If you're still able to do your job, then prove it. And if you're not, then you're actively obstructing democracy by not stepping down.

Which is to say, that if a public official were to pass away or into a coma, and their handlers choose to obfuscate that fact, this should be seen as intentionally obstructing democracy.

Bugger (American: fuck/fucker)

Flat (American: apartment, “my place”)

Bloke (American: guy, asshole, dude)

Queue (American: line, checkout line)

Cuppa (American: cup of tea, hot tea)

Shite (American: bullshit, shit, crap)

Bin (maybe sommme Americans use it? But mostly trashcan, garbage)

Lift (American: elevator)

What this is flagging is that the words you are using—in dialogue or narration from an American POV—don’t fit what we use here. and if that’s something that concerns you, or if you want your readers not to get hung up on (to steal an example from the comments) “Why is Midwesterner Dean Winchester talking about a torch??”, these are the words we actually use.

The weird thing is that American English keeps that convention for some other location nouns. e.g., "I was at school" or "I went to college".

And while we're on the topic of "college" it should be noted that American English treats "college" and "university" as nearly synonymous, with "college" being by far the preferred term in everyday parlance.

Rarely, you'll see "college" used to refer to a 2-year school, otherwise referred to as "junior college" or "community college", while "university" is used to refer to a 4-year institution. But that distinction isn't common.

American English will generally use "college" where British English uses "university", although "university" is still a fairly common word in the language and you're not wrong for using it in place of "college".

The other use of "mate" as a way to talk down to a stranger who you may be about to fight is best replaced with "buddy" in the US.

"Watch it, buddy!" or "You sure about that, bud?"

I know people irl who are immediately offended by even passive use of "bud/buddy." Regionally or generationally, dude, bro, and pal may also be used to start a fight. In this same context I hear "man" used most often to diffuse situations. "Look, man, I'm sorry, okay?" and "Hey, man, calm down."

I don’t know how many more times I can come here and ask for help. Every post I write comes with tears, because my mother’s life is all I can think about.

Yesterday, her condition became much worse , I can’t stop replaying those terrifying moments in my mind. Standing beside her hospital bed, watching her struggle, feeling completely powerless… it’s a pain I can’t put into words. The doctors told us she urgently needs this heart procedure, but we’re still waiting because we don’t have the money.😔

We’re only $600 away from the urgent heart procedure she needs. Such a small number to some people, yet for us it feels like the distance between hope and despair.💔

If your mother were the one in that hospital bed, you wouldn’t stop fighting for her not for a second. That’s exactly what I’m doing now.💔😔

If you’re reading this, please don’t close this post and move on. Be the reason I can finally look my mother in the eyes and tell her, “Mom, we’re going to make it.”

Please… don’t be another person who says, “Someone else will donate.” You could be the reason we reach our goal today. You could be the reason my mother gets the chance to receive the treatment she urgently needs. Even the smallest donation could change everything for us.

Please help us reach the last $600. Every donation brings me one step closer to saying those words to her. 💔🙏

Current process: USD 17,706 / $18,306
