The helicopter shot at us. My three children and I barely escaped. We saw many injured people in front of us.
I won't keep you long. Here are the facts:
Siraj Abudayeh @siraj2024 is a Gazan journalist and a father of three.
He and his family have been displaced 7 times.
They have survived multiple recent massacres in Khan Yunis.
They live in a tent that feels like a "convection oven".
He can hear tank fire across the street.
His parents and siblings escaped Deir al-Balah and are now homeless; he has to care for them too.
He needs to raise $5,000 CAD / $3653 USD by the end of the day.
He's probably gotten a hundred thousand notes on his posts at this point.
This has been meaningless. His campaign moves at a glacial pace.
The Palestinian genocide is the fault of the US, UK, Israel, and the imperial core in general.
When we in the imperial core do not donate to people like him, we perpetuate the genocide.

Winter themed BSD chibis 🫶🫶 (I updated my Redbubble btw, they are available there too :) )
So I think Danganronpa V3 is about corporation corruption.
I mean, the game is about a killing game being broadcasted to the whole world. There are cameras everywhere and the characters are like actors on a set. (With their memories altered to fit whatever role they are playing.) I mean there were auditions, a setting enclosed from the public and the meteor explanation is something out of a sci-fi set. (Which was executed poorly in my opinion. I'm glad that wasn't real.)
So in the end Shuichi is fighting the corporation itself that turns their slaughter into media for the public to consume. Shirogane blame the public for wanting to watch the showdown between Despair and Hope over and again, which was supposed to be a meta reference to us the audience. (Again, wasn't done too well. I was mostly confused. But it works to put you in a suspense of disbelief.) But I think it was the fault of the corporation itself that saw a game where teenagers were being forced to kill each other and decided to reenact it around, sorry if my math is wrong, fifty times. Fifty times! That would be around 800 teens killed in the name of entertainment! That is so not fair! And cruel!
It was turned it a world wide popular TV show in that universe. The people there are really twisted to want to see teens fighting for their lives. Do none of them watch in horror and just want to see them home safe with their families? Is the corporation who makes the show lying about some details of the show to make sure they don't get shut down? They do kidnap the 'actors' to get the ball rolling.
How long does each killing game last? Ten weeks? Five? So how old is Shirogane if she was there for 50 killing games? She would probably be older than most of the kids participating.
Also for the people participating, we know nothing about their pre-game selves. For all we know, some of them could actually be adults instead of teens. Wait...if there is a criteria for joining, it would be anyone from 15 to 17 which is so much worse! There are teens agreeing to kill each other and be slaughtered.
Why isn't there anyone in that world protesting the killing game? Someone should. Maybe start and activist group...

So I've been lurking in the Danganronpa fandom long enough now to start feeling insane, because it felt really obvious to me that Nagito genuinely suspected/hoped Hajime was the traitor, but I have seen no fic, no art, no posts or essays addressing this at all?? Not even one??
First of all, he accused him outright. Then he found out Hajime was even more of an outlier than he thought he was in the Final Dead Room. At no point was it confirmed or revealed that Nagito found out Hajime was Kamakura, so probably he thought Hajime was just some random mystery Reserve among his Ultimate classmates. He may have even found out about the Reserve course mass-suicide in there, which gives Hajime a motive to be fucking around with them in secret. He tried to sneakily ask Hajime what his deal was right before the trial, all "What do you think of books like that?" and was really disappointed when Hajime played dumb. He made a point to state in his final video that he was too hard on Hajime, as if he expected him to be around to hear him say that.
And despite his luck, his plan failed. Which is a little weird, because it succeeded in every other respect -- identifying the traitor, making it nearly impossible to determine the killer, setting up the Remnants for execution -- but not in actually executing them, his true end goal, which implies, I think, that his goal was a little more complicated than just killing them all? He didn't just want them to die, he wanted the traitor to live, but if he thought Hajime was the traitor...
Then his luck did work. Because Hajime understood Nagito just enough to figure out what he was trying to do, but also, I think, because that was really what Nagito wanted all along. Above everything else. More than dying, more than killing. He just wanted Hajime alive.
Am I insane for thinking this?? Or are all the fics/art/essays just hiding from me???
In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
Update!
