@davidculley@hachyderm.io  路  activity timestamp yesterday

I don't know what to write anymore.

Israel cut off all internet and phone lines in Gaza City which they're currently invading and where half of all Palestinians lived.

Some Palestinians who're still trapped in the North manage to occassionally connect to the internet via an eSIM (if they have one). But most of the Palestinians still in the North are unreachable since yesterday morning.

Nobody knows if they're even still alive.

When I look at their fundraisers, I see $5 or $7 donations trickle in. $5 doesn't even buy them a can of tomatoes, let alone a transport of their clothes and blankets out of the heavily bombarded "evacuation zone". They'd have to sleep outside on the floor and couldn't even cover themselves with a blanket or shield themselves from the rain because they can't afford a tent from a $5 donation.

But when I scroll through my timeline, I see people half-seriously asking if they should buy two iPhones just because they can't decide which color they like best.

Meanwhile, my posts don't get a single like. I don't even know if anyone reads what I write. Or if y'all just don't care.

Frankly, it makes me sick.

Maybe this is the reason my posts don't get any likes. The way I express my frustration, the words I choose. Am I telling you something about yourself that you'd rather not know about yourself?

Edit: Thanks for the likes. 馃檪 I'm not shouting into the void, after all. Check out this other post of mine if I made you feel bad about yourself:
