This is the fifth time we have been displaced. The Israeli occupation army has once again issued an evacuation warning for the area where we live. I don't know what to do now. We are tired of this life. We are unable to bear all of this. Please help us so that my family and I can travel outside Gaza as soon as possible. Please don't ignore us!!!!😭
Please donate to us so that my family and I can travel out of Gaza as soon as possible. Every donation you send me will speed up the process of my family and me leaving Gaza. Please, we are in dire need of your help. Donate to us and do not ignore us!!!!😭
hi, i’m your local laid off discord employee, here to talk about exactly how safe it may or may not be to talk about Political Activism on discord. my credentials here are that i was a senior member of discord’s trust & safety team, which is the team that handles bans, legal investigations, and legal compliance. (my speciality was in child safety, anti-grooming, and taking down CSAM, but i also worked occasionally in low level terrorism issues and assisted that team in investigations.) i also know most of the people still working there in these capacities.
the tldr and most important thing to know is: i do not recommend you plan, discuss plans, or use any kind of hyperbolic (or not) language about violence to government officials or anyone in that vicinity on discord. please use signal instead.
a discord trust & safety employee is technically able to see any message you’ve sent under your account, going all the way back to the beginning of your account. unless you have manually deleted a message, it is viewable to a tns employee. now: it is a tremendous part of being on a tns team that we did NOT invade user privacy without cause. cause was usually: another user reported something you said, and we thought the reported message indicated you might be doing something elsewhere that was illegal (for example: a user says “i’m talking to this girl but she’s in high school lol.” i would then try to find evidence as to whether or not there was a child safety issue there. in this example, we’d require clear admission of age from both the user and the alleged high school girl, and then clear evidence of sexual talk between them, and go from there.) finding evidence required looking though all of that user’s messages.
most of the tns team, as i know them, are pretty resolute about not going further in looking than would be needed for action. most of the tns team that i still speak to is very much on the side of blue. your general conversations are probably perfectly safe, and we were very good at figuring out quickly if someone has reported you maliciously. i don’t believe you need to worry too much about your porn and fanfic and all that.
HOWEVER: reported content must be investigated, and discord can, and has been, legally subpoenaed to turn over user information. again, this has nominally been in Very Evil cases (CSAM and grooming, school shooting threats, murder admissions, etc.) but that could change, either at the federal level, or at the discord policy level. discord, like any social media company, could easily be pressured or forced into taking on different internal policies that could get you in serious trouble if you are organizing violent or “illegal” resistance. if that happens, there is a scenario where this incoming administration is given access to your messages.
again: please do not organize your political or social resistance on discord from now on. please use signal to ensure your maximum safety. do not panic if you have already talks about things on discord: you can easily delete your messages, and that WILL remove from an employee’s view. do that and use signal from now on.
stay safe. i love you. 💕
In the heart of Gaza
Thank you to everyone for your support🫂🥹
Look with me how we live here in Gaza!
*Every minute Gaza is bombed, killing at least two or more people.
*Every day the occupation issues an evacuation order for a new area in Gaza and we do not know where to go.
*Every morning we wake up to the news of the martyrdom of a friend or someone close to us.
*Every day we go looking for water but we don't find any, and we use water that is not fit for drinking. Every day we look for something to eat to satisfy our hunger but we don't find any.
*Every night we cannot sleep because of the fear and the intensity of the bombing at night. Even if we sleep, we sleep hoping that the war will end tomorrow, but we realize that the bombing intensified the next day.
*We are in dire need of your help. My family and I wish to have clean drinking water. We wish to live without fear. We wish to live a safe life, free from death, fear, displacement and destruction. We wish to live in a house full of warmth and security. Please do anything. Please. Your donations will help us obtain food and clean drinking water, and will get us out of Gaza and help us start a new life.
Donate here to save us from all this, please!!!

We sharing anaesthetic stories?? I had to have dental surgery when i was in middle school.
According to my mom and sister the very first thing i did upon waking up was BOLT upright and proceed to try and shove my ENTIRE fist in my mouth as fast as possible.
I had to be physically stopped, and i proceeded to sob my eyes out for the next 20 minutes. Somehow, i didnt damage anything 🤣
sorry that imagery is so vivid i just..

lindt is being sued in a class action in the united states because they are one of MANY brands of chocolate that tested high for heavy metals. and this is despite lindt claiming their chocolate is "expertly crafted with the finest ingredients". no recall was issued after the tests came out. lead and cadmium can fuck the body over BAD.
lindt's genius defense is that they are going to stop saying the whole thing about being expertly crafted with the finest ingredients, so nobody can complain about the heavy metals in their chocolate anymore! and that makes it okay. source: trust me bro
(now please drop the lawsuit thanks)
consumer reports test results of a bunch of different chocolate brands <- original report being referenced
even more chocolate brands that were tested for heavy metals
