======================

We all considered Khaled to be like an older brother to Ahmad. He was close to all of us, but he held a special place in Maryam’s heart she loved him dearly, and he loved her just as much.

A two-panel comic shows Maryam and her emotional connection to someone named Khaled.

Panel 1: Maryam, a curly-haired girl in a pink dress, holds a piece of paper close to her chest and walks with a thoughtful expression. A shadowy adult figure watches her. The text reads: "We all considered Khaled like an older brother to Ahmad. He was close to all of us… but he held a special place in Maryam’s heart."

Panel 2: Maryam smiles gently while holding up a drawing of a happy person in a purple shirt surrounded by stars. The background shows a street with damaged buildings. The caption says: "On the morning of April 3rd, she asked if she could visit Khaled…"

Exactly one month ago and on the morning of April 3rd, Maryam asked my father if she could go visit Khaled. She missed him and wanted to play with the children her age in his neighborhood.He agreed. She went on her way, and not even a few minutes had passed before a missile struck the area she had just headed to.

Comic-style explosion in a city street with a massive fireball and the word 'Boooom' written in large letters. The buildings are crumbling, and a silhouetted figure walks away from the blast. Caption reads: 'And then... a missile struck the area she had just walked toward.'

In that moment, nothing else mattered to us but one question screaming in our mind : “Where’s Maryam? Is she okay?”

My father says..

I ran as fast as I could toward the site of the strike, my heart pounding in fear and panic.

A comic-style illustration of a disaster scene shows a crumbling, smoke-filled building with broken windows and debris scattered around. Three men are running through the rubble. My father in the foreground has a fearful expression and is clutching his chest as he runs. Behind him, one man carries an unconscious child, and another carries a young girl. A caption reads: “I ran, heart pounding... terrified of what I’d find.”
My father is holding his head in panic, with a speech bubble that says, 'Where’s Maryam? IS She OKAY?' The background is blurred, emphasizing his emotional reaction."

When I arrived, I was shocked by the scene. Dozens of men were rushing around, carrying injured children. All of them every single one had blood covering their faces and severe injuries. I began shouting at the top of my lungs, “Maryam! Maryam! MARYAM!” until I saw her...

My father runs through rubble calling out “Maryam!” In a speech bubble. Maryam, with her curly hair, wearing a pink dress, sits on the ground in fear, surrounded by debris. The background shows the aftermath of destruction with broken structures and scattered stones.
Dad holds Maryam in a pink dress in his arms. Maryam appears shaken but safe. My brother Ahmed stands nearby, looking relieved. A caption in a pink box reads, “Thank God… she was safe.” The background is a clear blue gradient, symbolizing calm after a crisis.

But my heart still wasn’t at peace. I couldn’t leave. I ran again this time toward the place I feared Khaled might have been.

My father, with short gray hair, wearing a wrinkled white button-up shirt and blue pants, walks through a scene of destruction filled with rubble and broken walls. His expression is serious and determined. Dark smoke rises in the background from collapsed buildings. Text in the image reads: “But my heart still wasn’t at peace… I had to know.”

With every step closer, my dread grew. “No... it can’t be him...” But when I arrived, I found Khaled’s house two stories high destroyed.

A destroyed house lies in rubble with shattered concrete, splintered wood, and twisted metal. A broken doorway frame stands precariously among the debris. The text reads: “Khaled’s house was gone.” On the right side, against a black background, white boxes contain the text: “After a long struggle… we found him.” and “But it was too late.

Khaled was there. After a long struggle, we managed to pull him from the rubble... but it was too late. Khaled had passed away.

A somber scene shows a single red flower growing among ruins at sunset. Two petals have fallen to the ground. In the background, broken structures and debris are silhouetted against the fading sky. The captions read, "Khaled is gone... and the world no longer feels the same."
A comic-style illustration shows two men, my father and Khaled, separated by a jagged, wavy border. On the left, and my father stands in shadow, looking heartbroken. The background is dark green. He says, "Why Khaled? He was full of life." Text boxes around him read, "Kind," "Strong," and "I called him "the mountain.'" On the right, Khaled appears in a brighter, pink background, smiling and waving. The contrast in lighting and expressions conveys a sense of mourning and remembrance.

Khaled is gone... and the world no longer feels the same. The earth is emptier now without Khaled.

You want to call your House rep now and tell them Trump needs to be impeached immediately for defying a Supreme Court order (re: Kilmar Abrego Garcia), which functionally voids our constitution and means no one in America has rights anymore.

I am not exaggerating.

As of now, anybody can be disappeared, no due process, no recourse. Trump is openly disregarding a Supreme Court order and says he’ll send US citizens to El Salvador.

This is not a drill.

Call your House rep and tell them they must impeach. Tell them if they cannot bring themselves to impeach, they must resign. A more open and shut case to impeach is not possible. Trump and his administration are saying openly, in public, that anybody can be kidnapped by ICE, even in error, and disappeared permanently.

Call your senators, too, and tell them to support impeachment (it goes to them once it passes a majority House vote).

In hindsight it's very insulting to be told that flunking out of college due to adhd is actually "quite common"

Bombing a displacement camp yesterday. Bombing a school turned shelter today. That's Israel's complete impunity at work.

Both these targets were designated as "safe zones" by Israel. But these genocidal maniacs will still tell anyone who's willing to listen that, despite that, they had to strike shelters and displacement camps filled to the brim with families with F16s to (supposedly) get to one single Hamas member.

Just as a survivor of yesterday's massacre said "when they tell you they're targeting wanted terrorists, don't believe them. All of Gaza is wanted!"

My name is Elin, I am 40 years old, and a mother of three children. Not long ago, I lived a peaceful and happy life with my husband — the man who was the reason for my joy. He provided everything for us, and our home was filled with love, security, and dreams for our children😭💔

My Name Is Elin, I Am 40 Years Old, And A Mother Of Three Children. Not Long Ago, I Lived A Peaceful

Our home, our safe place, was completely destroyed. Now we live in a torn, fragile tent that offers no protection from the cold, the heat, or the fear that surrounds us.💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

My daughter Alaa is a doctor. She once carried a message of healing and hope. But the war took her job and shattered her future. My other daughter💔, Shaimaa, was a university student.😥☹️ She had dreams and goals, but her education and hopes were stopped by the sound of bombs and destruction.

My Name Is Elin, I Am 40 Years Old, And A Mother Of Three Children. Not Long Ago, I Lived A Peaceful

My youngest child, Adam, was badly injured. He has a skull fracture and needs ongoing medical treatment just to survive. Watching him suffer daily, without the care he desperately needs, breaks my heart in ways I cannot describe.😥💔

We also care for my elderly father. He suffers from high blood pressure and diabetes. Recently, he sustained a serious injury to his left eye, and he needs an urgent, complex surgery — but we have no access to the care he needs😭💔

I feel powerless as a mother. There is no greater pain than watching your children’s dreams fade, and their lives hang in the balance.💔🇵🇸

I know you will never let me down 🙏🥹

We didn’t choose this life. We are not just numbers on the news. We are people — families — who once had normal lives, just like yours💔😭

All I ask for is safety for my children. A chance for them to live, to hope, and to heal

I know you won't let me down🙏🇵🇸

Please, don’t forget us......🇵🇸

I'm Areej I was an English teacher and a creative writer at we are not numbers before war and everything change after October 7. Also I'm a creative writer at we are not numbers.

Dear my kind donors!

I am a mother of three children. We have lived through the war for a year and a half, and we have lost everything we own. My husband is a man who did not work. Before the war, I did not have a breadwinner or any source of income. During the war I didn't give up to teach so I volunteered and had good chance to help some students to get engaged again with English in a very creative way.

Please Save those innocent kids from war 🥺‼️🙏🙏

We are in tents for almost two years because our home was destroyed and my kids are starving now with no enough food  😭‼️🥺After our several evacuation from place to another.Now we don't have a house after it was destroyed by missiles. I now ask you to help me rebuild my house. And buy basics for the daily essentials for my children and I need money so that we can stand up again and start again.

This war wasn't easy at all it has taken many friends at work, students and some of my colleagues at the university. They are almost ten souls I won't never forget . Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

My lovely students before war 🥺

Don't Forget Us Please🇵🇸❤️ Don't Forget Palestinians' Life🥺🍉

My lovely home 💔💔‼️

Don't Forget Us Please🇵🇸❤️ Don't Forget Palestinians' Life🥺🍉

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of my students and my friends is really hurts.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

Note to mention the other very expensive essential goods. I hope you will stand by me to get food

The crossings boarders are closed again these days and war return in Gaza.  The crossing through which food enters has been closed for more than 30 days. We have nothing to eat, and even if we do, the prices are exorbitant. Some of the prices listed are:

1 kg of meat = $100 now there is no meat

1 chicken = 70$ there is no chicken

1 kg of fish = 100$ now it costs 200$

1 bag of flour = $200 now it costs 600$

1 kg of cooking gas = $150 now it costs 1000$

1 kg of sugar = $50

1 kg of eggplant = $20

1 kg of onions = $50

1 kg of tomatoes = $20

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line

No one is left. We are all going to die. They killed his parents, his wife, his children, his siblings... (and they will kill him). This is the reality of every Palestinian. Time is up. Protest. Say no to racism. Don't just watch — you can make a difference. To the world: You are not powerless.

To Tumblr users, to the trans community, to designers — all of you: Take to the streets and protest. Boycott companies supporting the aggression. Share the truth; do not stay silent.

Donate to trusted organizations that support the Palestinian people. Stand for justice and humanity.

You are watching, and someone else is watching at the same time. Join us.

Guys please talk about Palestinian prisoners’ day. It feels like everyone has gone full mask off and just stopped bringing attention to this entirely - but a lot of detainees you advocated for one year ago are still detained today. Still facing the same conditions of squalor & torture & being indefinitely separated from their loved ones. The stats on Palestinian detainees are still as bad as they’ve ever been. Please talk about it

In the wake of the TikTok ban and revival as a mouthpiece for fascist propaganda, as well as the downfall of Twitter and Facebook/Facebook-owned platforms to the same evils, I think now is a better time than ever to say LEARN HTML!!! FREE YOURSELVES FROM THE SHACKLES OF MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AND EMBRACE THE INDIE WEB!!!

You can host a website on Neocities for free as long as it's under 1GB (which is a LOT more than it sounds like let me tell you) but if that's not enough you can get 50GB of space (and a variety of other perks) for only $5 a month.

Neocities
neocities.org
Create and surf awesome websites for free.

And if you can't/don't want to pay for the extra space, sites like File Garden and Catbox let you host files for free that you can easily link into NeoCities pages (I do this to host videos on mine!) (It also lets you share files NeoCities wouldn't let you upload for free anyways, this is how I upload the .zip files for my 3DS themes on my site.)

File Garden

Host your files with decency.

Maybe you wanna log off the modern internet landscape altogether and step back into the pre-social media web altogether, well, Protoweb lets you do just that. It's a proxy service for older browsers (or really just any browser that supports HTTP, but that's mostly old browsers now anyways) that lets you visit restored snapshots of vintage websites.

And really this is just general tip-of-the-iceberg stuff. If you dig a little deeper you can find loads more interesting stuff out there. The internet doesn't have to be a miserable place full of nothing but doomposting and targeted ads. The first step to making it less miserable is for YOU, yes YOU, to quit spending all your time on it looking at the handful of miserable websites big tech wants you to spend all your time on.
