🚨 Most of the families in the giving circle, including the displacement camp in Jabalia, are in red zones, facing siege and ground incursion right now 🚨 Some have lost martyrs in recent days.

Anything helps them get food & supplies. Then ACT—more boldly than ever. 179/2500 by Saturday. https://chuffed.org/project/hope-giving-circle

(Fern:) Another friend, Mae Borowski, needs help getting food they can keep down - nutritionally complete meal shakes. They'll need about $60 a week, and they would like to build a buffer.

They do not have regular income, and they are trans, disabled, and mixed Asian, as well as a survivor of domestic abuse and violence.

Somehow missed this:

Pakistan, home to more than 240 million people, is experiencing one of the most rapid #solar revolutions on the planet, even as it grapples with poverty and economic instability.

Suddenly about half the country’s electricity comes from solar. It’s not industrial solar farms or state-led: it’s a bottom-up revolution: households fed up with rising power costs and blackouts buying what are now ridiculously cheap solar panels.

Update:

No movement yet. 8/23

I'm a Black woman, disabled and survivor of many things needing help with rhent, phone and a med for September.

All efforts to uplift and meet, on time, are appreciated.

Bonus points if you share privately in safe spaces.

Thank you for all your care. 🥹

I have a big ask for the fediverse:

I'm looking for a professional voice actor/audiobook narrator who would be willing to chat with me about the industry. It's something I seriously want to pursue but am struggling with self-confidence and where to start. Looking for some guidance, support, maybe a bit of feedback. I know there are tons of websites, and I've been researching. I'd just like to have an honest chat with someone experienced (& not trying to sell me something).

Pls boost for reach

Nya & her family—elderly parents, the orphans of her martyred siblings—won't displace south. They need help with food, supplies, hope, and action. Funds will help them eat and get vital medicine for her relative's disability.

And your new, bold action today will stop this. It has to.

I hate spamming this out, but it's the only way this works, especially on AP-Fedi.

Gist is I need to get out of the state for my safety, and that's easier said than done with my disabilities, debts, and other limits.

My lease is up in mid-October, I really want to be able to just go straight from here to Washington State and even 2/3rds of this goal will make that happen... but the clock's ticking.

Interesting chat with the doc yesterday. I said I'd noticed that every time they give my kids a sick note for school, they add strict instructions to avoid exercise or physical activity, which wasn't a thing when I was a kid. I wanted to know when Doctors had started saying this.

He sighed, said "Not as soon as they should have" and then explained how it was known that certain illnesses could lead to heart problems (apparently similarities between the pathogens and heart tissue could lead to the immune system attacking the heart), but it was only after covid struck and so many people developed heart conditions that they figured that it was not such an isolated problem and LOTS of viruses do this. He then shared a personal story of a colleague who was training for a marathon, and ended up needing a heart transplant. So now its standard practice to ban exercise when you're sick. Because although it's a low-probability event, the consequences are severe.
