My mother suffered sudden bleeding today. After an examination and uterine scans, the doctor confirmed she has fibroids and needs treatment. The cost was $70, and we had to borrow money to cover it. 💔

🦭🔒 Uh-oh! Tulip is behind bars today. What are his crimes?

Let me know in the comments what you think this guilty little guy has been locked-up for.

I never imagined I would endure so much cruelty and pain in my few years of life. Thank you to everyone who has helped my words reach others, even though we still haven’t managed to raise enough to pay for a meal🥺

Residents of western Shuja’iyya neighborhood are fleeing after the Yellow Line advanced to within about 10 meters of Salah al-Din Street, bringing new residential areas within its boundaries and forcing residents to leave out of fear for their lives.🇵🇸 […]

💔 Only in Gaza…

I couldn’t afford a full tube of ointment, so I bought only half. Here, even medicine is a luxury.

😭 The pain is so severe that I can’t even prepare food for my children. I’m a mother struggling to survive and provide their most basic needs […]

"for the moment... there's considerable belief in the power and potency of #LLMs: a belief that is convenient for a lot of people but also fundamentally irrational" — I'm very slightly misquoting @iris_meredith here, but I doubt this will cause offence.

"This is, unfortunately, quite a bleak world: it's a world where there is still space for real skill and care, but also one where a significant minority of the population is stuck pointing #LLMs at each other and rotting their brains away in the process" — @iris_meredith

"LLMs might have meaningful applications in hybrid warfare, as in the use of chemical weapons as a terror weapon (the recent rise of #LLM-backed cyberattacks and LLM astroturfing bots genuinely concerns me), but remain uncompetitive when it comes to actually doing work of substance" — […]

"An #LLM absolutely cannot produce work to the highest human standards, or even a good human standard at the moment, and it's unlikely that it ever will. Most human work, however, is not done at a good standard. At best it's mediocre, and at worst it's downright horrible" — @iris_meredith […]

The evacuation is temporary due to the bombing of a location. I hope the signal is removed. Yesterday was a very difficult night; many buildings were bombed. A terrifying night.

@Rania

Is this evacuation order permanent or temporary? Where are you now?

Please keep us updated if you are able to.

MY FRIENDS, PLEASE PRAY FOR ME AND DON’T FORGET ME. I was forced to evacuate the place where I was staying after an order from the Israeli occupation. Now I am standing in the street, caught between terror and the bitter cold, with nowhere safe to go and nothing to protect me. I don’t know what […]

🥀 A terrifying night… but we survived. 💔
From the heart of Gaza, fear still lives in our hearts, and suffering steals our days. We are tired of surviving instead of living… All we want is safety. 😔🇵🇸

@simon_brooke To be fair, when the EU blocked action again a live genocide, this further betrayal was inevitable. 😡

We no longer dream of a day without bombing, without hunger, without fear.Even the simplest things have become exhausting — even breathing.
All we long for is a single, normal day.
