âIâm going to play Dark Urge, Iâm going to play a Drow, Iâm going to play a Half Elf Cleric of Selune-â No. I grow tired of filling Faerun with hotties and encouraging my partyâs fatherless behavior.
To remedy this I have made Your Dad, the ultimate 1:1 replica of the average New Jersey father to save the realm and put a stop to my partyâs sad, horny business.
And before you can even ask âoh what is the Guardian Your Mom or somethingâ of fucking course she isyou fool
gazans donât just need these e-sims to contact the world. they need them to contact other people during their worst and loneliest hours.
i canât even imagine how it must feel, to be so afraid and alone. to just need someone to talk to.
we often call friends and family to talk to when just weâre having a bad day. and this⊠these people are living day by day, unsure about the next hour, surrounded by screams, bombs, artillery and rubble.
gazans need to connect now more than ever. not just to tell their stories, but to connect to other humans. to feel a semblance of normalcy in the devastation around them. to have some sort of comfort amidst all the destruction. to be able to contact their family members and make sure theyâre okay. to hear their voices. to keep their hopes and spirit alive.
please please donate. please help connect gaza. please reach out and let them know youâre there.
please keep talking about them. keep posting. keep protesting. keep connecting with them, and connecting them with the rest of the world. donât let anyone forget whatâs been happening to them for even a second. the world has spent almost a century in ignorance and silence, but not anymore!
donât let their oppressors isolate them. israel is trying their best to break their spirit. donât let them. we must stand with the palestinians and let them know weâre with them until the very end.
the palestinian cause is our cause. their fight is our fight.
remind them that theyâre not alone. donât you dare give up. not when theyâre still fighting. and even if they stop.
