So you won’t be deceived.

Our smiles may pass across our faces, fleeting, making you think we have grown accustomed to this life, and that we have come to terms with the harsh reality imposed upon us. But what the eyes see is nothing but a deceptive surface—a thin layer hiding beneath it a world of brokenness that no gaze can truly reach.

Do not take a smile as proof of contentment, nor silence as acceptance… for we are still there, suspended in the very first moment when everything began to collapse. We are still standing at that heavy beginning, where falls followed one another—relentless, merciless, without pause.

Since our souls began to fracture even before our hearts, and since breaking became our constant companion, until we were filled beyond what can be endured… beyond what can be told or survived.

We smile… we speak… we appear to be living, but in truth, behind this artificial calm lies an unending pain that seeps deep into us, reaching the farthest corners of the soul—pain that eyes cannot see no matter how close they come, and words cannot explain no matter how hard they try.

We are not living life as it should be lived; we are only existing in its fading shadow… deprived of its simplest details, and of our right to peace and stillness. We take refuge in whatever is available, carry what cannot be carried, and move forward in silence because shouting no longer helps.

As for the pain… it does not pass by like a stranger; it lives within us, slowly seeping in, leaving its mark in every corner of our souls—as if it were an eternal engraving that cannot be erased..

So do not grow weary of us, and do not stop extending your hand to us… you are our support.

◆Children, youth, and education Issues

Sara From Gaza 🍉🇵🇸

A child killed after being injured inside a temporary learning tent in Gaza two days ago
This is not just a passing headline,
but a reminder that even the most basic rights of children are no longer guaranteed.
https://v.aa.com.tr/3902033
...
Education, something that is already barely available for many families here, has become even more fragile.
For some children, just reaching a place to learn is a struggle—an effort families make despite everything they lack.
And yet, even that space is no longer safe.
A place meant to protect a child’s right to learn turned into a place of loss.
How did education, a basic human right, become something so unsafe?
Where are children’s rights when even classrooms cannot protect them?

@saja
🇵🇸 I am a student from Gaza, Palestine.
📚 I study Accounting and Business Administration.
❌ It is not fair that I may lose my university education because I cannot afford the tuition fees.
💔 The war has taken everything from me and destroyed so many beautiful parts of my life.
🙏 I am asking for help and support, and I kindly ask you to share my story.

@MohammedHussein
Maybe one euro in your country isn’t enough to buy a cup of coffee,
but in mine, it can buy a notebook and a pen for a child to learn.
With just one euro… you can make a difference.

Silvia Project In Gaza
@Silvia_Project
Education in the Gaza Strip, in brief: the walls are made of nylon sheets, and the seats are made from wood of aid boxes. Since the beginning of the war, Israel has not allowed any type of stationery to enter. They do not want our children to learn, but our children face challenges and overcome difficulties thanks to your generous support and donations. To support our campaign, please donate through the following link.

The TwinS
@kr7you5
We are twin girls from Gaza 💔
We no longer know what safety feels like… we live in a small tent that cannot protect us from the freezing nights or the burning days. We shiver with every gust of wind, sharing a thin blanket that isn’t enough even for our dreams.
Be the reason for a small smile in the middle of all this pain 🙏🤍
https://chuffed.org/project/help-twins
We fall asleep to the sound of the wind and wake up to fear and hunger. We try to be strong, but in truth, we are just two little girls longing

◆SNS and Campaign issue

Aral Balkan
@aral
@AngelaScholder So, Karen, just so you understand the consequences of your actions:
Because you reported this post (https://mastodon.energy/@AngelaScholder/116397038832441549) by @joynewacc for an erroneously autocompleted hashtag (#doctor -> #doctorWho), a mastodon.social moderator *deleted her post*.
Yes, read that again: the post of a Palestinian, suffering through genocide in Gaza and trying to share her experience – someone who is, moreover, a founding team member of Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org/team/) – was *deleted* for a stupid hashtag that some white Karen in the West got distressed about.
This is so fucking wrong in so many ways that I don’t know where to begin.
I want to know:
1. Is it mastodon.social policy to just go ahead and delete the posts of its members or was this a moderator acting out of spite against a Palestinian? (Or is everyone on mastodon.social at risk of having their posts deleted if moderators don’t agree with the hashtags they use?)
2. If this is not mastodon.social policy, I’d like to know what action will be taken regarding this moderation action and the moderator responsible and what will change internally to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen again.
Israel is already doing their best to erase Palestinians. The least we can do is to not help them by literally deleting the posts of Palestinians on the fediverse. Thank goodness hashtags weren’t a thing in the days of Anne Frank because clearly some of you would have burned her diary had she used the wrong one by mistake.
3. Can we all, please, have some fucking basic decency and maintain perspective when dealing with people suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid? It’s a pretty low bar for humanity.
And, whatever you do, do not be this Karen.
Check your bloody privilege.
And fuck your hashtag.
We’re talking about human lives here.

Reasons: An obvious automated scam account created today with the sole purpose of sending “Account Verification Required” links to 600 accounts so far.
Needless to say, the link points to malware (and the domain luckily has now been taken down).
I normally consider those behind these types of accounts to be the worst human beings to ever be born on this planet.
But when they target vulnerable people in Gaza I also wish them the worst torments of hell.

◆History

A report by Haaretz, based on newly declassified archival documents, revealed that contacts took place between armed Jewish groups active in Mandatory Palestine prior to the establishment of 'Israel' and representatives of Nazi Germany.
According to the documents, some Zionist militias sought to open channels of communication with the German side as part of complex strategic calculations during that historical period.
The published material explains that these contacts, according to the files, did not necessarily constitute a formal alliance, but rather reflected attempts by certain parties to exploit international contradictions at the time in pursuit of political goals related to the project of establishing a Jewish state.

📖 The Diaries of Islam’s Exhausted Family
⏰️ 7:40 PM
I was feeding the cats…
Small pieces, simple food, but they came close like they trusted me.
For a moment, I felt something different.
Like helping them… is a little like when someone helps us.
We’re all just trying to get through the day, looking for something to hold onto.
Tonight felt a bit softer.

Squeee!! The Doctor's social flash cards. #DoctorWho

When asked why his costumes for the Doctor Who story "The Ice Warriors" (1967) were so weird, costume designer Martin Baugh said in the future maybe we spray clothes onto ourselves and because the spray machines are made out of circuitry that will influence their designs.

That's so brilliant! Better sci-fi speculating than most of the writers on the show!

#DoctorWho #CostumeDesign #scifi

I finished up The Key Of Time serial from classic #DoctorWho. I hadn’t seen it before but I knew it was the last episode before Romana regenerated. I was expecting some kind of explanation but nope.

Anyway, I like her absurdly long scarf. Like the Doctor’s in length and lack of purpose but the color scheme matches her personality rather than his.

EDIT: I forgot this was meant to be cartoon characters. Well, Doctor Who had at least one official cartoon episode, and some lost episodes were re-made as cartoons. So there.

What's this? Do I sense your jealousy?
I bet deep down you'd love to be ginger like me.

There's so much i would like to say about Death In Blackpool. Without spoil anything. Is the closing of a particular arc for Aunt Pat. Who... had a very curious development as character.

More than anything else, is a relief . And a source for not very pleasant things for Lucie :(

I've enjoyed this tale. But i'm still processing it.

More tmorrow, people ;)

Wishing a very happy birthday to the Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi! #DoctorWho #PeterCapaldi
Loved this. He makes a pretty good case for the Doctor being, by this point, pretty much a folk hero, and probably unique in culture in terms of the limitless varieties of stories that can be told using the Doctor - malleable themself, of course - and a blue box that can go anywhere and anywhen. #DoctorWho

The Doctor takes Martha to New Earth in the future, where the streets are ruled by sinister pharmacists, and when Martha gets taken away, The Doctor goes and rescues his companion, only to be stuck in major traffic in "Gridlock", premiered 19 Years Ago on this day.

Season and Episode No.: Series 3, Episode 3
Release Date: April 14, 2007
