My friends, I post updates about plants, but I am in urgent need of donations—so please, if you are able to help, please do so.

Hello friends, greetings to you all! Look, the fava beans are sprouting from the soil. In 80 days, we will have a harvest of fava beans. Please follow this account, share, and—if you are able—consider making a donation. There are 13 people who rely on these contributions. bit.ly/help-mohamed

Mohamed—click his post ⬇️ to follow—just learned that his sister-in-law is expecting a baby! she's about halfway along; this will be her second child born during the genocide. the obstetrician is still their neighbor 🙏🏻 she needs sufficient food so she and the baby stay healthy. bit.ly/help-mohamed

Mohamed and I talked today. We'll persist. When he can write his own words, on his own time, he receives more donations, and his situation is dire. He said, "A bullet entered my tent on Thursday night. Thank God, no one was injured." Today the watercress sprouted. chuffed.org/project/help-mohamed

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "Please spread the word: the situation here is bad—the price of flour is rising by the hour." Please share and donate if you can. A new famine is ever closer to become reality. bit.ly/help-mohamed

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "During the night a bullet struck my metal tent—it was a very difficult night. Four people from our camp were also injured. / It appears that the firing of heavy machine guns toward the tents has become intentional. It begins at sunset and ends at sunrise...

this site is so hostile to him, AND YET donations always slow when he doesn’t have his own account. his words from him go further than from @eggplantsandolives.bsky.social or me. but malicious actors report his account and he gets kicked off over and over. what is the solution?

it’s clear to me that someone /s singled out Mohamed for targeted harassment; he’s always flagged as fraudulent regardless of his actions. @moderation.bsky.app refused my appeal and has ignored follow-up emails. idk what else to do.

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "Hello, my friends. My account has been banned. I am sending you these words via my backup account. I am doing fine, and my plants are doing well, but this ban has—quite literally—left me feeling suffocated. I am angry at Bluesky’s policy toward me. ...
