Help Hasan and his dear family continue to survive through this horrifying genocide.

Hi Hasan, I’m here, I’ve just been off social media - I’ll check messages right now

Was literally just trying to remember what thing she’d previously posted, because when I saw her name and pfp, I remembered she’d posted something awful, but I couldn’t remember what πŸ˜‚

Please help Hasan and his beautiful family survive.

Even a small donation helps; not only materially (food and shelter are important!), but also as reminder that goodness, kindness and compassion still exist, even in the hardest of times. And that we see, care and hold them in our hearts.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I just got home from major surgery. Part of it surgery was my face, so I couldn’t mask. We brought 3 HEPAs into my icu (and later, regular) rm with a sign outside (& masks) asking all to mask. Almost universally they did, and if they didn’t, we asked & they did. 9 days in hospital & no covid.🀞🏻

We’re halfway there! πŸ™Œ
Only $320 left to give my children one more month of safety and stability. ❀️

If 8 kind hearts each contribute $40 ,we’ll get there together. πŸ•Š

Every contribution β€” big or small β€” makes a real difference in their lives.

Please give what you can or share πŸ™

Please help Hasan feed his kids today.

The situation is dire, relentless and crushing and nobody should have to rely on the grace of strangers to feed their beloved children in 2025.

Please donate (even if it’s a small amount) to help keep Hassan and his family alive.

My heart aches when I think about how impossibly crushing and heartbreaking it must be, to have to ask (daily!) for donations to keep your beloved family alive.

We should ask them to ask about a few more people πŸ˜†

Starving, panicking people ALSO having to watch their beloved children starve. I would be doing everything I could to reach other compassionate humans if I was in the same harrowing, terrifying place too.

The Palestinians I have spoken with are lovely, kind people trying to survive, not scammers.

Wait, what is β€œpregnancy thing” l?! That came up when I was trying to translate something and I couldn’t figure out what it was *supposed* to be?

Hasan is kind and brave and would move heaven and earth to protect and provide for his beloved childhood sweetheart and their 2 young boys, in the midst of a desperate and terrifying situation.

The situation has never been more dire. Please help them (even if it’s a small amount - it will help).

Imagine having to rely on the kindness of strangers, to be able to feed your kids, and to try bring them comfort in the middle
of the night, while bombs are dropping all around you.

Hasan and his family just found permanent shelter in Deir al Balah. Now this. This is hell on earth.

My friends, I urgently need $80 for an extreme necessity.

The situation is unbearable.πŸ₯Ή

If anyone can help, please don’t hesitate.
And please share… every effort counts. πŸ’”πŸ™

Imagine needing $200/day to barely keep your children fed. Please donate to Hasan and his family if you can. Gaza is suffering and being starved.

I can’t decide how far I want to scroll to try to figure out what I’ve missed by being largely offline the last couple of days πŸ˜† (sounds kinda dumb AND juicy though)!

Hasan recently found an apt. for his family, and they almost have the money needed for the moving/travel expenses required to get them there.

Please boost and/or donate - they’re SO close to raising what they need to get out of the evacuation zone, out of the tent and into their new home.

If you feel anxious, and your anxiety/overwhelm puts you into freeze: pick a family in need (or a few) and focus on them. Hasan and his family are one of a handful of families I’m carrying in my heart, and trying to support.

THIS! We *just* (in the ~last month) got sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides of the main thoroughfare, along lanes near us (& our neighborhood is β€œwalkable”). We walk & bike BUT they haven’t gone w/o me because neurodivergent kids + no bike lanes/giant trucks/tesla β€˜self driving’ are terrifying!
