#empathy

Yesterday, the "Yellow Line"—the arbitrary boundary of our designated safe zone near the electricity company in central Gaza—felt distant. We slept with a fragile hope of survival. 😟 But last night, the world collapsed around us. Under the unrelenting roar of heavy shelling and non-stop gunfire, that line moved. By morning, we woke up to find that the Yellow Line had swallowed more of our land, tightening the noose around our necks. 😭 Now, we live in absolute terror. Every morning brings a horrifying lottery: Who will find themselves trapped behind the Yellow Line today? Who will be cut off from survival? 💔 I am writing this to you because I don't know if I will have tomorrow. As I speak, my voice feels like it is suffocating, drowning in the smoke and fear. This might be my very last message to the world. ❤️‍🩹 We are not just numbers or statistics on your news feeds. We are human beings who love, dream, and want to live. Please, do not look away. Do not let our voices be silenced forever. We need your solidarity, your outrage, and your help before the Yellow Line consumes what little is left of us. 🙏🇵🇸 Hear us. Help us. Before it is too late. 🕊️ https://chuffed.org/project/177144 #Gaza #HumanRights #Crowdfunding #MutualAidRequest #DirectAid #Fundraiser #Assistance #EmergencyAid #HelpEachOther #Empathy #Solidarity #WomensHealth #MedicalAid @personalescrito@bolha.us @mistergibson@turtleisland.social @grb090423@mastodon.social @vreer@todon.nl @crimson_clouds23@normal.style @brume@piaille.fr @Heidentweet@todon.eu @Lazarou@mastodon.social @MusiqueNow@toot.community #palestine@palestine@a.gup.pe⁣⁣ @palestine@lemmy.ml @nizarus@mastodon.tn @MajDen@sociale.network@davidculley@hachyderm.io@SheWasSpeaking@toots.matapacos.dog@apenkop@mstdn.social@madgeface@mastodon.art@Shibanarchiste@piaille.fr@Sasha@ieji.de @delsaulnier@piaille.fr @DailyGaza@kolektiva.social @palestine@lemmy.ml @simon_brooke@mastodon.scot @nizarus@mastodon.tn @DrALJONES@mastodon.social @kathimmel@mstdn.social @Strandjunker@mstdn.social @c_ssk@fedibird.com @hakona@im.alstadheim.no @felipe@social.treehouse.systems @RFancio@mastodon.social @Drippy_Spudd@cyberpunk.lol @bythehandofbob@mstdn.social @RobertoArchimboldi@kolektiva.social @tansy@wandering.shop @sol@typo.social @jd@todon.eu @hart@norden.social @socialmedia@newsmast.community @nemo@mas.to @burnitdown@beige.party @majorlinux@toot.majorshouse.com @mutualaid@fedigroups.social @1kmadleenfr@mastodon.social @gazanotice@mastodon.neometropolis.net @GazaFFlotilla@mastox.eu @freepalestine@hear-me.social @nemo@mas.to @eldadoinquieto@mastorol.es @AliceMarshall@dmv.community @QasimRashid@mastodon.social @NormanDunbar@mastodon.scot @MarciaW@ohai.social @Geoffberner@zeroes.ca @uspolitics@newsmast.community @socialmedia@newsmast.community @ZackPolanski@mastox.eu @Christo_459@mastodon.me.uk @Lazarou@mastodon.social @foufoutos@kafeneio.social @noiseician@mastodon.world @divya@sunny.garden @brume@piaille.fr @Mau_or_@mastodon.bida.im @villebooks@mastodon.social @MajDen@sociale.network @aral@mastodon.ar.al @nemo@mas.to @essjayjay@tech.lgbt @wlaatje@social.edu.nl @ridicol@mastodon.social @epso@mstdn.social @jack_mendo@neopaquita.es @Literbook@mastodon.social @nemo@mas.to @Strandjunker@mstdn.social @AliceMarshall@dmv.community @Sine_Nomine@mstdn.social @QasimRashid@mastodon.social @rpardee@mastodon.social@uspolitics@newsmast.community@Solomon_G@mastodon.social @BKoepka@sportsbots.xyz @ManUtd@sportsbots.xyz @Jazone@theforkiverse.com

https://www.slowboring.com/p/the-permitting-deal-is-good-and-should At no point does this #centrist #political #pundit even bother to mention the 10s of thousands dead so far this year thanks to #climatechange. Not to mention the 10s of millions suffering in hellish ways. But #politics is all these folks can see. No sign of #empathy of any kind whatsoever.

Is empathy a less reliable basis for morality than people tend to assume? A thread on empathy, morality, and autistic reasoning ♾️ Empathy works a bit like a spotlight. It illuminates a certain bit of the landscape – the bit that’s in front of us, or that we choose to see – but not all of it. That's a problem if we confuse empathy with morality. (Note: at the end I've explained what I mean by 'empathy') ⬇️ #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent #Autism #Empathy #Morality #SocialJustice #CriticalPsychology #AutismResearch

Autistic people are famously fond of logic, and data. We’ve also repeatedly ‘failed’ in tests designed to evaluate our empathy. Tests which I found more interesting as a ‘spot the assumption’ exercise than serious research – or at least, serious research into what the studies professed to be about. I wrote a thread about it: https://mas.to/@KatyElphinstone/116070156336606549 ⬇️ #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodivergent #AutismResearch #Empathy #AutisticThinking #CriticalPsychology #Logic #Reasoning #Neurodiversity #DoubleEmpathy

"I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I've come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of #empathy." — Gustave Gilbert, Nuremberg prison psychologist

I studied linguistics and communication because I wanted to help people understand each other. 🌸 Now I live in a world that desperately needs translation, empathy, and honest communication... and so many people have simply decided they'd rather hate, mock, belittle, and attack. The fuck, really. Anyway. I'll keep translating. I'll keep communicating. Someone has to. 💜 #Communication #Linguistics #Empathy #Kindness #Solidarity

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social I really think sadism against bad guys is not a good thing to indulge in at all! All it does is make you more like them, it actively impoverishes you! Don't give in to the urge! You will be better off for it! Please cultivate sympathy even for the worst if you don't want to end up just bringing yourself down to their horrific level. I am begging you, I am begging you, I am begging you! Please do not do this, you are throwing your soul into a burning pit of garbage for quick laughs. Know that whoever replaces him is just going to be another republican of equal depravity, so his death will be in vain anyways. "Diddly dong, the mitch is dead" is fun to say but will just make you into a cold monster. Knock it off! All you are doing is hurting yourself! You guys are hurting yourselves! Mitch McConnell is unaffected by dancing on his grave, whilst you are degraded. @anneguisinherba@universeodon.com @Natsura@catgirl.center @TidalFlats@mastodon.coffee @HappyCrow13@mastodon.social @em_and_future_cats@mastodon.social @jhooper@techhub.social @Oldfartrant@mstdn.ca #sympathy #compassion #empathy #kindness

In a world that moves so fast, it’s easy to feel like your voice gets lost in the noise. But your story matters, and your feelings are entirely valid. You don't have to carry it all by yourself. 🤍 If you are looking for a space where you can simply be, without judgment, my doors are always open. ✨ Learn more about my holistic coaching sessions at the link in my bio. 🌿 #health #family #socialmedia#meditation#HolisticCoaching #Spirituality#Angels #YouAreNotAlone #Empathy
