Farah, or as she's known around here as Joy, is a palestinian author with a verified fundraiser. She likes to write and share stories and poems with her followers on social media (her fundraising campaign on chuffed has some of her writings as well). She is working on a book that goes into details of how she has survived living in a war-ridden world and has survived through the current genocide.

You gaze at the sky at midnight, imagining how ppl around the world spend their nights in quiet peace, while before ur eyes the flames burn. Day after day, u become convinced that u live on another, isolated planet
one where no one sees & no one hears.
Truly, & without any exaggeration, this is the reality in #Gaza as seen from the sky above my shelter.

Bad events r continuing at an increasing pace,& the cost of living here's very high
I need u by my side.

Merci à @aral qui a fait un gros travail avec @joynewacc pour vérifier que des fraudeurs n'essayaient pas d'exploiter cette situation dramatique (validé avec la fonction de vérification dans le profile).

J'ai donné un coup de pouce avec mes moyens à @mahmoudoov @joynewacc @mohshbair en me disant que ça allait directement aider eux et leurs proches. Le marché noir explose ainsi que les prix pour toutes les nécessitées vitales.

On est d'accord que c'est une goutte d'eau, que c'est injuste pour ceux qui ne peuvent pas se faire entendre sur ce réseau mais je me dit qu'il faut bien commencer quelque part.

Courage à vous tous !

September 10, 2025—Racist transphobe Charlie Kirk, founder of the neofascist Turning Point USA youth indoctrination movement, was assassinated while engaging students at an event in Utah. In an April 2023 interview, Kirk claimed that gun deaths from mass shootings were “unfortunately” the price America paid for the blessings of freedom offered by the Second Amendment.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Normal people don't know who Charlie Kirk is. My mom, dad, husband, neighbor are very confused why it's such a big deal.

Which is good to remember. He's never done anything notable. Didn't run for office, didn't break a big story, didn't write an important book.

So, for a lot of people this is all very confusing.

Political violence is abhorrent. I have not celebrated Kirk's death. But Newsom calling for his followers to "continue Charlie Kirk's work," someone who praised stoning gay people as "god's perfect law," who called for men to "take care of" trans people like they did in the 50s and 60s, is not it.

There have been 47 episodes of mass violence on school campuses this year. The 47th took place at a Denver-area high school, 26 years after the Denver-area high school in Columbine, where three people were shot on Wednesday, two of them students. The 46th school shooting of the year had just one victim. Charlie Kirk, the conservative campus activist and podcaster, was shot in the neck during a question and answer session at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
