take some time to notice your vision. see how easily you detect motion. focus on something in your peripheral (without moving your eyes to it). see how it works. look at your hands. pick something up with your fingers. appreciate how ridiculously specialized they are in fine motor skills (even if your personal motor skills are lackluster). think about how you have a body built to be an apex predator through use of tools. think about how the brain of your kind has created a digital hivemind uniting the whole world. now look back at the screen. look at the tab where you are in an argument about cartoons on tumblr. close the tab. open a new tab. google “tribute to anomalocaris”. watch the video that comes up. leave a like. subscribe even though the channel has been inactive for 8 years. you will need it in the coming times
Phenomenal news. Just what the people ordered.

Hi Lindi, thank you for using your platform to spread awareness on the crimes committed against Palestinians.

This post indicates that donations may not actually reach Gaza; but there is a way to help them by purchasing e-sims so they get reconnected to the Internet. There is also a linked guide on how to do so:
I was hoping if you could share this with your larger audience reach.
Thanks, and stay safe.
Hello anon - thank you for letting me know, I'm sorry for not looking into that further before sharing links, and thank you for bringing up the e-sims situation.
here is a twitter thread that'll teach you all how to buy e-sims for Palestinians. You might ask what's the point of this? It's to allow them more access to open communication as the blackout showed us how terrifyingly isolating it can be for them to feel so alone.
You'll also be glad to know that the wifi has been reconnected for Palestinians and coverage is up and running again, although spotty at times. Please keep palestinians in your thoughts!

Absolutely devastating and infuriating updates from @myhanitizer - as the military has taken his father and brother hostage and has stripped them naked and is dragging them all through Gaza. This comes after the United States and Israel killed member after member of Hani's family. All of these things are atrocious war crimes.
@myhanitizer is a hero who has been committed to advocating and supporting the people of Gaza his entire life, and is a team member of @unrwausa. His family continues to suffer unjustly and it must stop.
Praying for his family who are martyrs from IOF airstrikes, his mama who stood over the rubble to protect her son's body from stray dogs, and his family members who have been abducted by the IOF, praying for their swift and safe return.
Praying for Hani.
