US Helplines:

Concept: combine the “you don’t know you live on a death world until you leave it” trope with the whole Cthulhu-in-space genre of weird fiction, except in reverse: humanity’s Special Thing™ is that humans (and, by extension, all terrestrial life-forms) are weirdly resistant to reality-bending bullshit, which is what lets us survive and build a relatively functional civilisation in spite of hailing from a world that plays host to multiple Other Gods – which is, of course, otherwise unheard of; having even one of those squamous bastards in the neighbourhood is generally enough to ruin a whole star system’s day.

Non-human vessels can’t approach within a dozen light years of Sol without their crews being driven mad by the corrosive psychic resonance emanating from Earth’s deepest oceans, and we’re wandering around living our lives and not noticing. Aliens can never travel on human ships because our FTL drives kind of maybe tunnel through Hell, a process that horribly warps non-terrestrial life, and we just think it looks pretty when the n-dimensional hellfire coruscates across the viewports.

This sort of thing kept humanity uncontacted for a long time, until the aliens’ observers eventually figured out that we weren’t a bunch of weirdly normal-looking elder thralls, we just straight up weren’t aware there was a problem. It’s only then that they arranged first contact – remotely, of course – to basically ask “dude, what the fuck?”

(Humans are reasonably well-integrated into the galactic community these days, though most worlds enforce strict screening and quarantine procedures before allowing a Terran traveller planetside; it’s just like a human to have a class 7 epistemivore hitchhiking in their brain, and when informed, go “you know, I have been getting these headaches lately”.)

URGENT!! Let’s help Mahmoud Al-Sharif’s family get out of Gaza!

Mahmoud’s family’s GoFundMe is only at $4,499 USD of their $60,000 USD goal. PLEASE consider donating

Mahmoud (@mahmoud-sharif) reached out to me and shared his story. He and his family are in desperate need of help reaching their fundraising goal so they can get to Egypt and escape the genocide in Gaza.

He needs medical treatment for his eye and his wife is pregnant with their fourth child and needs a safe place to give birth. His and his family’s work, dreams, and safety have been completely uprooted by Israel’s bombardment of their home and country.

Mahmoud’s words:

‎‏I am Mahmoud Al-Sharif, married and have 3 children, and my wife is about to give birth now with my fourth child.

‎‏We are from the Gaza Strip, which suffers from wars. I lived through 5 of these wars, and I lost my eyes and fingers hand , and my other eye was damaged. These were the previous wars until this 2023 war came and destroyed everything from my home and my workplace.

Further details about him and his family/situation can be found on the GoFundMe link below.

I should have finished a year of school, but now I have finished a whole year and I am lighting a fire to cook food and searching every day for the necessities of life. Look what the damn war has done to me, it has destroyed everything, and since winter is coming and we have no clothes, bedding or blankets, we will surely die from the freezing cold. Please help us and donate to us. No matter how small your donation is, it will change a lot in our lives. Please be with us. Thank you very much to everyone who donated and contributed to improving my life .🥺🙏

urgent

The Israeli army notifies new areas in the Khan Yunis area for evacuation. My family, consisting of my father, mother, and seven brothers, is located in the area south of Hamad Town, which is one of the areas that were notified of evacuation.

My family left this area and came to us to escape death. The place is not large enough and we need to buy an additional tent, and the cost of the tent is very expensive. They also need a bathroom and other needs.

Donations are allocated today and tomorrow to buy a tent and its supplies for my family. Help them provide shelter. With your support, you will relieve them of this pain. Help them, you are their great hope.

ngl my big advice for not dealing w/ transphobes is like. one, download the shinigami eyes extension. if u see a username marked red, Do Not Share The Post

two, check out the blogs of ppl u wanna reblog from. like i get that it’s hard to check EVERYONE’S blog but if u even have a slight suspicion the person who wrote a post is a transphobe (this requires like. paying attention and staying alert, looking out for red flags and stuff, knowing what to look for) then check their blog. look at their archive, look at their tags. search the word “trans” on their blog, see what comes up, etc. sometimes it’s even like right in the bio if they really don’t give a shit

just like. don’t give these people a platform. even if the post seems unrelated. sometimes… it’s not as unrelated as you might think

URGENT 🚨

Attention please 🙏

Hello, I am Ahmed. I am 22 years old. I study medical equipment engineering at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, which was recently destroyed due to the difficult and terrible war that Gaza City is going through.

I had one year left to graduate, but the war destroyed everything. I lost my education, my father lost his job and his small shop.

I hope that you will help me and stand by my side in saving me and my family, starting over, completing my education, and building my life and future after it was destroyed.

The story of my father and mother who suffered from illness and lived under the wall of a tent

“The tent was their only shelter. Its winter wall was made of threadbare fabric that did not protect them from the cold or summer heat. Inside, they were lying on a thin mattress, two defeated bodies suffering from diabetes and high blood pressure. They woke up every day to the sound of chronic pain and dreams. That relaxes with every breath.
