I Think The Near-extinction Of People Making Fun, Deep And/or Unique Interactive Text-based Browser Games,

Hi

Can you donate to me now? I am from Gaza and I am in a very urgent need and I need these donations. I want to buy blankets for my three children. I live in a tent made of fabric, which does not protect us from the cold. It is raining and there are not enough blankets to cover my children. It is cold and bitter and my children are shivering from the cold.

Every day children in Gaza die from cold and hunger. I do not want to lose one of my children after I lost my house, which was bombed and demolished. Please help me, even if just a little. Please do not let me down, my friend. The world left me and I knocked on your door.

Will you answer me?

Hello, I am Etaf Al-Qataa,I'm from Gaza, Im34 years old ,I… Etaf Alqattaa needs your support for Please help us get out of life's crises

Etaf is a wife and mother of 5 from Ghazzah. Last year, she and her family's home was destroyed, a long with her husband's source of income and their car.

They were displaced for 200 days, all the way induring the hellish tribulations of genocide. Luckily, they were able to flee into Egypt; however their struggles are not over.

Due to their lack of income, Etaf and her husband struggle to provide their children with food, clothing, and education. On top of that, they are struggling to pay the rent on their house as winter approaches.

In order to help Etaf's children continue their education and to help the whole family afford basic necessities, they need to raise €100,000. So far, they've only managed to raise €5,690 and their last donation was 18 hours ago.

Please help them however you can; donate if you're able and share their campaign. Every contribution will help them rebuild their lives.

have y'all seen how many poll-then-donation-request posts receive thorough poll engagement, while the actual notes are left hanging? i'm talking 12k votes for "favorite japanese dish?" but only 1500 who felt like being minimally kind to a stranger they had power over. when i see numbers like that i wonder: do the people who skip past once they realize they're being asked for something think they're outsmarting a trick? does the triumphancy of that avoidance feel better than the humility of kindness?

maybe so-- but if you're someone who skips reblogging donations, why not reblog this one? rather than lambast, i want to suggest that we refuse to go silent at the moment we're not having fun anymore, that we extend ourselves beyond the little existences social media increasingly encourages of us. this app mass-deleted palestinian users yesterday, genuinely impacting some of their means of survival. marah ( now @mahrahpalestine ), a college student like me, was one of them. consider giving her family what you're able.

the bigfin squid

yeah, this guy - you've probably seen this video, and it is most definitely real.

they're cephalopods (which means "head-feet" in greek), just like octopuses. their arms and tentacles (which create an appendage that looks quite like an elbow) are thought to be 13ft to 26ft (4m to 8m) long.

we know very little else about them. but keep reading, and i'll tell you what we do know.

they were first recorded in 1907, but the specimen didn't offer much information as to what was actually being looking at. in the 1980s we got a few more specimens, researched by michael vecchione and richard young. they were all young and without long arms, so the mantle length looked huge on them (hence the name!). they then declared the new family magnapinnidae for the big fin squid.

the sightings are much more interesting.

they were first visually seen by submersible (similar to a submarine) nautile in 1988, off the coast of north brazil, at a depth of 15,535ft (4,735m), which is quite far into the abyssal zone (abyssopelagic) of the deep sea - it is pitch black down there.

six more were seen between 1988 and 2000, but all the footage was pretty short and blurry, so the media didn't really care. however, in 2001, the rov tiburon got some fantastic footage in hawaii, and it gained a lot of attention.

anatomically, they are really unique compared to other cephalopods, namely due to the lengths of the arms and tentacles and the "elbows". furthermore, scientists have no idea how they feed: they're guessing that either the squid drag their arms and tentacles along the seafloor and grab organisms, or that they wait for prey to accidentally go into their arms and then trap them there - not terrifying at all.

and that's all we know! thank you for reading this far, here's an extra pic of this absolute hell-spawn.
