THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE

watched this for the first time when i was 14 i think? it saved me

Here lies a being older than humanity's definition of the infinite.

You will find it, bound and bleeding, covered in cloth akin to translucent, flowing flesh anchored to the bed of a dried river, and when you first see it, it'll do just as it always has and try to coax you home.

Thin hands and silken feathers and veins of gold and sapphire upon skin so worn it tears just from the effort it takes to reach you, it wears an ever changing face made up of everyone you'd seen in a dreams as it tries- and tries and tries and tries- to hum a hymn in a tongue that you might know this time.

But you can't understand it anymore, and a being of light and ichor cannot hear the words of a being of clay and thread.

So you do as you always do when your bones are woven into new flesh: you cut it free of its withered chains and you bind each would as safely in bandages as you can manage.

It's skin won't burn you anymore.

You've been refleshed so many times and so very often against your will that you are neither mortal nor divine

And far too soon for its satisfaction, the being of starlight and sweetened earth and radioactive ichor is cut free and you go back from whence you came.

The Israeli occupation forces bombed Nasser Hospital in the Gaza Strip a short while ago. This hospital was the last functioning hospital in the Strip after all hospitals were bombed. Now, there are no functioning hospitals in the Strip. The occupation is deliberately destroying the health and education system and all means of life in Gaza. Please don't ignore us. Do something, please!!!😭

Gaza is a "killing, detention, starvation, and genocide camp." This is the true description of where we live now. Please help me and my family so that I can escape the war zone and receive medical treatment. Please, we desperately need your help!!!! 😭

Please help us by donating so that my family and I can escape this horrific war and get treatment and start a new life, please!!!😭

I have devastating news. I’m Musab Ahmed, and for no clear reason, GoFundMe disabled the contact that was responsible for receiving and transferring the funds from my campaign to me, starting April 21st, 2025. Even though I had raised 24% of my goal, I was unable to access any of the money I worked so hard to collect. We tried reaching out to them multiple times, but they haven’t responded, and now I’ve been forced to start over from scratch.

I’m not exaggerating when I say I nearly had a heart attack from the shock and stress — especially after all the hope and effort I poured into that campaign.

Here is the link to my new fundraiser. Please, if you can donate or even just share it, your support would mean the world to me. I urgently need the funds, as I still haven’t been able to undergo the second surgery for my shoulder, and things are getting harder by the day.

today you, tomorrow me.

I hope my letter reaches you. I'm Yousef from Gaza. I'm writing to you with a broken heart. I'm deeply sorry if this letter upsets you, but as a father, I feel hopeless and exhausted. However, I hold on to the hope that you will read my words to the end and offer a helping hand. The war is back, and we are displaced once again. We now live in a dilapidated tent under horrific bombardment, with no food to eat. Prices have skyrocketed after aid was cut and borders were closed. Please, I beg you - 🙏💔 Help me, my family, and my children. We desperately need flour and milk, which cost around $150 each. If you can donate as much as you can, it will save the lives of a family and children who have been displaced dozens of times. 🙏🙏
