I realized that true strength comes from God At an unexpected moment, a piece of shrapnel hit me in the chest, leaving a mark on my body and soul. Diabetes makes recovery more complicated. Please help me, even a little, to leave the Gaza Strip and receive treatment, Thank you💔😥🙏🏻🙏🏻 gofund.me/2855b500

In the spur of the moment, I'll be lacing up my running shoes and hitting the streets for the Cork City Marathon. This year, I've chosen to raise funds for UNICEF, who work to protect children in the most dangerous places on Earth — children who need our aid today more than any other day. 🇺🇳

My personal suspicion is that the majority of these accounts are genuine, but Bluesky is moved to close them down because their requests disrupt the user experience. However, if people are being starved and genocided, it’s appropriate to have your user experience disrupted, so there’s that.

Love the replies to this post. I’m up late on the Friday of a bank holiday weekend posting on socials because I’ve had a long and intense day and need to go to bed but just can’t get off the couch.

I have donated to quite a few accounts for people in Gaza. I am reading a lot of posts suggesting these are spam from South Asian scammer factories. I tend to microdonate so that my contributions are well spread out. If it turns out that every single donation was a scam at least I was moved to help.

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

I maintain the British rise of fascism will be largely championed by the specific demographic of the British Motorist, you cannot underestimate how quickly these people will vote for death camps because they have been inconvenienced.

Because people don’t want to stop flying. They regard it as a personal right.

Electric cars are better than ICE cars, but they still are not sustainable transport. Sustainable transport is about so much more than just tailpipe emissions.

We’re falling short of our emission reduction targets by 50% and suffered 4 road deaths caused by cars in the last week and this is what you lead with? The dangers of cyclists? For God’s sake wake up and take some responsibility for the mess we’re in.

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

I don't want to go on about it, but let this break your heart and change your life. So much history, so much magical realism. Also, meet my ancestors and the true story of the zebra who went running from London Zoo. www.toppingbooks.co.uk/books/anna-v... @renardpress.com

Just a reminder that I have a little newsletter where I talk mostly about bookish matters and occasionally other things. It seems to have fallen into a twice-monthly rhythm. If you're interested in reading, it's at susanlanigan.substack.com
