Imagine a group of human beings being trapped in a confined place, unable to escape or return to a normal life, while violence is inflicted upon them day after day for two and a half years.

Imagine death becoming part of their daily lives. Imagine losing loved ones before their eyes, children waking to fear instead of safety, homes becoming memories, schools becoming postponed dreams, and hospitals becoming places where there are simply not enough resources to save everyone.

Then add hunger.

Imagine a mother searching for a piece of food to quiet her children’s hunger, but finding none. Imagine water becoming a wish, medicine becoming a luxury, and bread becoming something counted piece by piece. Imagine living every day without knowing whether what you have today will last until tomorrow.

And the cruelest part of all?

For two and a half years, these people keep raising their voices.

They say: We are suffering.
We are hungry.
Our children are afraid.
Our sick need medicine.
Please, stop this suffering.
Please, help us.

And the world hears them.

It sees their photographs.
It reads their words.
It watches their tears.
It knows they are trapped, hungry, frightened, and that they did not choose this life.

And yet… the days pass.

Then the months.

Then one year… then two… and another year draws closer to its end.

And one question remains suspended in the air:

What happens to a human being when violence and hunger do not only destroy their body, but slowly consume their heart as they cry out for help and find no one reaching back?

There is a kind of pain that wounds cannot describe, a kind of hunger that numbers cannot measure, and a kind of loss that words can never repair.

And there is something even more devastating than suffering alone:

Suffering in full view of the world, knowing the world sees your pain, and then watching the world become accustomed to your cries.

After two and a half years, we are not asking to be seen as numbers, nor for our suffering to become another passing headline.

We only ask the world to remember that behind every number is a human being who once had a home, a face they loved, a child with dreams, a mother waiting for their return, and a life they deserved to live in safety.

We do not need the world to become accustomed to our suffering… we need the suffering to end. 💔🕊️ chuffed.org/project/177144

Hey everyone,

Please boost!

I’m looking for contracts so I don’t have to teach an AI slop machine how to make better slop. Any kind of open-source bounty work would be lovely.

I’ll also write code for you. No job too big or small. My GitHub is at github.com/Elizafox — I also have contributed to pkgconf considerably and aided with the 3.0 release, as well as a CMake module.

If you can’t do that, tossing a few bucks in the tip jar helps a ton right now. It’ll help me keep the lights on at my place.

Trying to raise like $300 which would help me so much rn for paying my light bill and Internet.

PayPal: paypal.me/Elizafox
Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/therealelizafox

#For those outside Gaza…

Read, understand, and share.

Many people outside still can't believe what's happening in Gaza,

or think it's confined to a specific area — and we've seen this a lot on social media.

But the truth?

The aggression has destroyed Gaza from north to south.

Gaza today isn't a city; #Gaza today is the remnants of life.

There's no "living" in Gaza… only a "struggle to survive."

Houses are rubble.

Streets are graveyards.

Electricity, water, internet… are now memories and lost luxuries.

Hospitals? Paralyzed.

Schools? They've become temporary shelters, or they've been destroyed.

Electricity?

Since the first days of the war, it's been cut off.

A very small segment of the population has access to solar power, and it's become a resource for people… but at a price.

Can you imagine?

Your phone battery is dead? You have to pay 2 shekels to recharge it.

Power banks? 3 shekels.

A large battery? 7 shekels.

Everything has a price, even charging, even electricity.

And the prices? Insane and unbelievable!

The internet?

There's no home internet.

There are temporary cards sold by people who have electricity and internet.

The card costs between 1 and 5 shekels (half a dollar to a dollar and a half), depending on the time and speed.

And the cost of living?

A kilo of tomatoes = 20 shekels ($5.50)

A kilo of cucumbers = 25 shekels ($7)

A kilo of potatoes = 50 shekels ($13 – if you can even find them)
A kilo of eggplant = 30 shekels ($8)

A single cigarette? From 50 to 120 shekels ($13–$32!)

A loaf of bread? Almost nonexistent, and flour is running out.

Some people have resorted to smoking wild herbs, adding nicotine, carbonation, sugar, and sometimes pesticides and toxic substances… just to give it a flavor!

So, how are people surviving?

Some have nothing.

Some cook over wood fires.

Some eat one meal a day or less.

Some grow parsley or lettuce, or anything to stave off starvation.

Some make soup with water and onions…

And some don't eat at all.

No food, no gas, not enough flour.

Prices are sky-high, and people have nothing.

A kilo of ordinary vegetables is now more expensive than in European cities.

And a single cigarette is more expensive than a large meal for an entire family!

The water?

It's polluted, salty, and undrinkable.

People filter it using primitive methods, boil it, or drink it contaminated because “there's no alternative.”

The gas?

It's been cut off for over a month and a half.

People cook over wood fires, charcoal, or anything that will ignite.

The health situation?

There aren't enough medicines, no well-equipped hospitals, no medical equipment, and not enough staff.

And people get sick… and wait for death in silence.
