I've decided to compile a definitive thread of photos of the best sheep I've photographed during my walks in the countryside, together with supporting biographical information. I will put the vital story associated with each sheep in the alt text, since some of it is a little long to fit in a post.

A nihilistic sheep, who, like so many other sheep, just wants to watch the world burn, staring at me insouciantly, moments after it has set fire to a large portion of the United Kingdom.

every month maha asks for the same amount: 530. with enough small recurring donations, we can at least ensure her and her children’s basic needs are met. weekly or monthly, the price of a coffee to help a whole family. just act together bit.ly/for-maha

17/530. We only have a few weeks to raise Maha’s rent/food. But no need to break the bank to help! We just ask for a small amount— the price of a coffee, say. Click ‘weekly’ or ‘monthly’ if you can to give Maha a reliable income. bit.ly/for-maha

5 August 2026 is our brother Mohamed's birthday, his third since being displaced. He said to me today, "When I receive a kind word from anyone outside of Gaza, I get a strange feeling / I feel like the word is a lifeline." Send him a message via @mossmallfarm.bsky.social (you know where to give)

this video compilation shows the burial of 112 martyrs, their bodies finally recovered after two and a half years. look at their photos on the shrouds. at least 10,000 bodies of martyrs are still unrecoverable. some have been dead older than children in families you know and i know have been alive.

Mourners gathered in Gaza today for the mass funeral of 112 Palestinians. The victims are from the Abu Sharia and Hassayna families. Their remains were recovered almost three years after an Israeli strike killed them. Here’s why.

you know mohamed's faith in God is undying, but without the ability to materially support his family; as occupation forces having isolated mawasi; as the threat of a concentration camp and forced transport—read: ethnic cleansing—grows closer; he's powerless. before it's too late bit.ly/help-mohamed

"We are going through a period of anxiety and uncertainty. Every two hours the news changes, with some saying there's a truce and others saying there isn't." To be completely honest, I don't think I've ever seen him this disheartened. Please show him some love and donate if you can. 💚🙏 2/2

KITTENS YOU NEED TWENTY HOURS OF SLEEP PER TWENTY-FOUR HOUR PERIOD why are you cashing in like three of those wakeful hours now, please let me rest, kittens

DISAPPEARING FOR A DAY MADE ZERO IMPACT TO DONATIONS BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY AT ZERO become a recurring donor to ANY CAMPAIGN. some of my families would have nothing without recurring donations. some don't have any. does anyone who can materially help see these reminders of people in dire need?

Reach still zero, I see. 1. See pinned but don’t share it. I defy you to make an original post with one of the links. 2. Please interact with this. I’m on the verge of deactivating all socials. Imagine: disappearing for a day made zero impact to donations. Because they were already at zero.

immediately reminded of @sapphic-film-nerd.bsky.social’s rage when kristi noem released her memoir and The Discourse condemned her for shooting her puppy when her history of using state violence against indigenous tribes in south dakota had been public record for 14 years animals matter but come on

The successful legal challenge focused on the welfare of the crocodiles - not the alleged mistreatment and abuse of the Palestinian prisoners the policy was intended to affect

this is what mohamed was talking about: more than 18 people killed in gaza in less than 24 hours, many more injured, just to show that ceasefire agreements don't apply to israel. we also talked about how abdullah is now old enough to make concrete memories. before it's too late bit.ly/help-mohamed

🟢 NEW: Hamas said Israel’s “criminal and frenzied bombardment” of Gaza has killed more than 18 Palestinians since Sunday morning and wiped out entire families. 

It charged “the war criminal Netanyahu's government” with deliberately escalating attacks to disrupt understandings reached with mediators over completing implementation of the ceasefire agreement, and called for immediate international action to condemn and halt the attacks and hold Israeli leaders accountable.

📌 The statement in full:

“The Zionist regime’s criminal and frenzied bombardment of the Gaza Strip since this morning, which has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 18 citizens and the wiping out of entire families from the civil registry, is a deliberate escalation by the war criminal Netanyahu’s government. Its aim is to disrupt the understandings reached with mediators, including the US administration, to complete the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.

“We demand that the mediators and guarantors of the ceasefire agreement assume their responsibilities, condemn these Zionist crimes against our people, and take immediate action to pressure the occupation government to halt its crimes against our people and compel it to cease its aggression in accordance with the agreement.

“These brutal acts, which amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, necessitate official and legal action from the international community to hold the occupation leaders accountable and take the necessary measures to protect our defenseless people, who continue to face the threat of annihilation and displacement.”

The proscription of Palestine Action is the same way they plan to deal with future protest movements. Yet another way that supporting the genocide in Gaza, or accepting it through inaction, is support for fascism. You cannot oppose fascism while accepting genocide.

“Anyone who has marched for Palestine, supported a strike, opposed a war, defended immigrants, criticized sanctions, donated to a legal-defense fund, used Signal, or attended a protest where someone else damaged property can be placed somewhere within the government’s sprawling web of ‘alignment.’”

mohamed is literally dr pepper now. he documented this surgery for you! with more people in the camp, and more bombing and shooting from the occupation forces behind the berms now enclosing the camp, there are even fewer “safe” places for the 6 kids old enough to play outside. bit.ly/help-mohamed

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. The children accidentally broke the stem of the pepper plant. Mohamed was able to set it, just like you would a broken bone. So far it's still green, so let's hope it keeps growing. Please share and donate if you can. Your support means a lot. bit.ly/help-mohamed

this could be so many people you see posts for here since hamas agreed to disarmament, the occupation forces have increased their attacks on gaza mawasi is a crowded displaced persons camp. soldiers shoot at people in tents from the earthen berms they built to isolate mawasi from the rest of gaza
