My little brother, Mohamed, with his beautiful blonde hair and sweet demeanor, lives in constant fear of losing our mother. Every day, he asks her, "Will we die together or will you leave me alone?" His innocent questions break our hearts and highlight the deep trauma we are enduring.
Our family is facing immense hardship, and Mohamed's fears are a daily reminder of our fragile situation. We are desperate for support to ensure that he can have the safety and security every child deserves.
Please consider donating to help us in this critical time. Your generosity can provide us with the hope and stability we so desperately need.
Thank you for your compassion.

My friend is raising funds for their top surgery and it'd be great if you could help!
I've known Luka for several years. They're a fantastic artist, poet, and all round wonderful person. Unfortunately, surgeries cost money! You can click through to read more about their journey, but the gist is they've been on HRT for 16 months now, waited for 18 months for a plastic surgery consult, and was expecting a date several months away but instead got a surgery date of mid-June - not much time to get all the money needed. Even with the help of family, friends, and Medicare rebates for the anaesthetist, that's still a lot to cover in a short amount of time.
Luka is so excited for what this surgery will mean for them and the positive impact it'll have on their life, and I'm excited for them too!
So, if you've ever wanted to donate to someone's top surgery - I recommend chipping in whatever you can spare to this one.

Funny how people told me that "adults change their minds based on new information" my whole life only for me to watch everyone go "back to normal" in the face of an ongoing gobal pandemic. You are not wrong. Stay safe out there. Mask up.

It *is* a problem that charismatic species are often focused on for conservation at the expense of less charismatic but important species, but threatened species that are the subject of a lot of public outreach and education are also typically strategically selected.
I suspect that monarch butterflies are an example of this. Milkweed is a highly valuable plant for pollinators and a host plant for like. 400+ insect species. Getting people to plant it to save monarchs is funny because you're essentially finessing people into saving a ton of other insects that they wouldn't ordinarily care about

Former President Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies by the jury in his "hush money" trial in New York on Thursday, making him the first former president in U.S. history to be convicted of a crime.
The jury, composed of 12 Manhattan residents, found that Trump illegally falsified business records to cover up a $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. They found him guilty on all counts on their second day of deliberations.
The presumptive Republican nominee for president is now also a convicted felon, a label that could reverberate across the electorate in the months between now and Election Day in November.
The verdict was handed down in the same Manhattan courtroom where Trump has been on trial for the past six weeks. Trump stared at each juror as they confirmed their vote to convict and angrily denounced the decision in the hallway outside the courtroom, vowing to fight the conviction.
Jurors sided with prosecutors who said that Trump authorized the plan to falsify checks and related records in an effort to prevent voters from learning of an alleged sexual encounter with Daniels. Prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office said the conspiracy spanned his 2016 campaign and continued well into his first year in the White House. Trump denied having sex with Daniels and pleaded not guilty.
Justice Juan Merchan set a sentencing date of July 11, just four days before the start of the Republican National Convention, where Trump will be formally nominated as the party's standard-bearer. He could face up to four years in prison and a $5,000 fine for each count, but Merchan has broad discretion when imposing a sentence, and could limit the punishment to a fine, probation, home confinement or other options...
The Biden campaign warned that former Trump's conviction doesn't prevent him from winning another term in the White House from a legal standpoint.
"There is still only one way to keep Donald Trump out of the Oval Office: at the ballot box. Convicted felon or not, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president," the campaign's communications director Michael Tyler said in a statement.
-via CBS News, May 30, 2024. Live updates: 7:36 pm, 7:23 pm Eastern Time
--
Note: Even if Trump gets reelected, he cannot pardon himself in this case, because this is a state-level conviction. The president can only pardon people convicted of federal crimes, not people convicted by the states. (x, x)
