            The UK says it will help Palestinian students with fully funded scholarships to evacuate Gaza.

            Several UK celebrities are helping to fund scholarships for Palestinian students (who have secured offers), via "Scholarships for Gaza", a 10-day campaign beginning on 27 July.

                        Five Palestinian women journalists are facing harsh detention conditions in Israel's Damon Prison. They undergo hunger, medical neglect, solitary confinement, confiscation of personal belongings, restrictions on religious practice, and isolation from the outside world.

                        Farah Abu Ayash, Lama Khater, Bushra Al-Tawil, Natalie Abu Deyyeh, and Islam Amarna are all being held under administrative detention.

The top right corner contains the Arabic word "قدس," and the main text reads, "Five women journalists face unbearable conditions in Israeli prison."

EMOTIONAL SUBSTRATUM
This list of diffuse complaints could be lengthened indefinitely; it
should be sufficient to indicate that the grievances the agitator voices do
not refer to any clearly delineated material or moral condition. The only
constant elements discernible in this mass of grievances are references to
certain emotions or emotional complexes. These may be roughly divided
as follows :
Distrust: The agitator plays on his audience's suspicions of all social
phenomena impinging on its life in ways it does not understand. Foreign
refugees cash in on the "gullibility" of Americans, whom he warns not to
be "duped" by internationalists. Strewn through the output of the agitator
are such words as hoax, corrupt, insincere, duped, manipulate.
Dependence: The agitator seems to assume that he is addressing people
who suffer from a sense of helplessness and passivity. He plays on the
ambivalent nature of this complex which on the one hand reflects a
protest against manipulation and on the other hand a wish to be protected,
to belong to a strong organization or be led by a strong leader.
Exclusion: The agitator suggests that there is an abundance of material
and spiritual goods, but that the people do not get what they are entitled
to. The American taxpayer's money is used to help everyone but himself
-"we feed foreigners,"16 the agitator complains, while we neglect our
own millions of unemployed.

"Anxiety: This complex manifests itself in a general premonition of disasters
to come, a prominent part of which seems to be the middle-class
fear of a dislocation of its life by revolutionary action, and its suspicion

speaks of "the darkest hour in American history"17 and graphically describes
a pervasive sense of fear and insecurity:
This afternoon America is caught in the throes of fear, apprehension and
concern. Men are afraid . . . to vote, afraid not to vote . . . Our population
has been caught by the ague and chills of uncertainty. Unless these uncertainties
can be removed, unless these fears can be destroyed, we shall never
have prosperity again.18
Disillusionment: This complex is seen in such remarks as the agitator's
characterization of politics as "make-believe, pretense, pretext, sham,
fraud, deception, dishonesty, falsehood, hypocrisy . . . . "19 In fact, "whenever
a legislative body meets, liberties of the people are endangered by
subtle and active interests."20 Ideological slogans inspire resentment:
"Democracy A Misnomer, A Trick Word Used by Jew and Communistic

what I am looking for is just a few lines what was happening how we felt about it told to a stupid person who has no idea with as much fun and sarcasm you want to throw at it. What started me thinking this was the ads running for using ai (we will NOT BE USING AI) to print shit books on Amazon kindle. Well what if we publish an actual book on kindle? we can start with just a few pages see if we get any response positive feedback from here what do you think?

2016 escalator ride was I think the first one of these I made for the anti trump pages in facebook. I continued on this tack but I had a great job a401K and a future. A demanding bf house yard animals my days were full. 12 hour overnights building these massive multimillion $$$$ machines for Intel and the other chip makers. I had savings no debt 401k kicking car. All all gone.

the photoshop became my only outlet during covid which caused me to lose all of the above. The photoshops were a way to keep connection to humanity so exploded, plus all that time suddenly on my hands. And then stopped for 4 years pretty much. 

 Then it started up again for some reason now I do this pretty much full time.

I went with a smothering the statue of liberty the model of which was a guy dressed as the statue from a gay pride parade I found. He will need credit as well.

His speech at the convention was so inspiring. I told them that he's the real deal, but because he lacks polish and charisma he would never have had a chance at winning the Senate nomination. This funny circumstance is going to put him there. It's a really wonderful story of the "things happen for a reason" nature. Collins is going down hard.
