I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.
The UN reported, “Goods humanitarians are trying to bring into Gaza… ‘seem to be prohibited by the Israelis…’ Some of the medical materials include basic drugs for treating chronic illnesses such as insulin pens.”
According to HRW, “The blockade is preventing sufficient medicine from entering Gaza and disrupting the refrigeration needed for insulin. The blockade is collective punishment of the civilian population, a war crime.”
hey i want to thank you for posting this on cohost. i can't really tell how much attention this got on here given how the website works, but since things are kinda slow on here often i'd imagine not the hugest amount? but when this post came up on my feed in january i crossposted it to tumblr and it got over 30k notes. unsure how many people actually donated from that but it had to be some. later i also did some drawing streams with friends taking requests in exchange for donations to the families in this. one of these families has now evacuated to safety in canada. this message isn't meant to be like super congratulatory or something but like i know how it can feel like you're just shouting into a void and wondering if any of it matters. i think post really did help those people. i wanted you to know that. thanks for doing this.
fuck yeah, friend. thank you for caring, sharing, and doing things for Palestinian folks and community.
