I spent 10 years building my body, and lost it all in a few months… this is what life did to me
THREAD 🧵
Before everything changed, I was a bodybuilder and trainer in Gaza. I weighed 108kg, full of muscle, strength, and hope.
I was well known in the fitness community and helped many athletes become champions.
I loved inspiring people to take care of their bodies and mental health. I lived a beautiful life with my wife and young son.
We were happy.
Then, life took a turn I never expected.
I became displaced from my home. We lost access to proper food, clean water, and medical care.
The gym I trained in was destroyed.
Over the past months, I lost over 30kg, not because of a fitness goal, but because of hunger, malnutrition, and the constant psychological stress of just surviving.
The muscle I spent more than 10 years building disappeared in just a few months.
Every mirror now reflects not only a physical transformation, but the emotional and mental toll of being forced to start from zero.
I’m not sharing this for sympathy, but to show how life can sometimes break even the strongest people.
How everything you worked for can vanish, not by choice, but by cruel .
Ever feel overwhelmed or distressed after taking in the news?
You might be experiencing vicarious trauma. 😰
It can happen when you are exposed to traumatic events, even from a distance. This thread 🧵 is about how to spot the signs and protect your well-being.
What does vicarious trauma look like? The signs can be behavioral, physical, and psychological:
> Social withdrawal, irritability, trouble separating events from life
> Headaches, gastrointestinal trouble, fatigue
> Intrusive thoughts, cynicism, disturbed sleep, or feeling numb
Steps to control your exposure to distressing content:
Before you view, hit pause and ask yourself:
> Do I need to see this now?
> Do I need to see all of it?
During viewing, try making the window smaller, lowering the sound, or reducing color saturation.
Great list! 👏 TYSM for recognizing me as a "very niche" cybersecurity creator and influencer who is known as "THE go-to expert" in my respective areas of security.
Down below👇I have linked four‼️valuable stories for #tech, #infosec, and #cybersecurity professionals.

1. Are you aware that conversational AI tools may be secretly collecting & analyzing your users' sensitive information, posing a growing threat to their privacy & autonomy?
These are not conflicting views. You can want for the people of Palestine & Israel to peacefully co-exist and for the apartheid & genocide to end while also decrying the garbage leadership of both nations. Yes, I cheer for the death of terrorists who do not love their own people.
No, I will not give Netanyahu an "attaboy" for genocide which includes 20K children and destroying many multiples of other lives/communities for the sake of eliminating Sinwar. Nobody should. The atrocities in Gaza cannot be left unanswered. Those responsible must face the ICC.
Reviewing the government's complaint against the alleged Israeli Embassy shooter "Elias Rodriguez" revealed additional suspicious patterns of behavior which could be markers of tradecraft that strengthen my case for intelligence involvement in the murders of Sarah and Yaron.
1. Pro Timing & Logistics:
- OPSEC: Last-min ticket purchase (3hrs before event)
- Planning: Interstate firearm transport via commercial airline
- Minimal exposure window via 1day operation (arrived May 20, attacked 21st)
- Target-rich environment: Gathering of Israeli diplomats
2. Behavioral Anomalies:
- Immediate surrender after attack, unusual for genuine extremist
- Calm confession without lawyer present
- No escape attempt despite advance planning suggests mission completion priority
- Theatrical political messaging: Keffiyeh as prop
🧵THREAD: 🚩🚩🚩 Red flags suggest the Israeli Embassy shooter "Elias Rodriguez" isn't a genuine American progressive, but possibly an agitator from an authoritarian regime. I analyzed his Goodreads reading list which has 279 entries stored since 2012 under a name that isn't his.
1/9 Real American leftists typically discover Russian literature through college (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky). This person reads obscure Soviet political figures - Molotov memoirs rated 5 stars! That's knowledge usually gained through family/cultural transmission, not U.S. education.
2/9 Genuine campus radicals usually start with contemporary issues (climate, inequality) then work backward to theory. This dude shows the reverse: started with dense communist theory (2013-2015) then applied it to current events. 12-year systematic preparation looks professional
1/ I found a perfect lil' nugget while performing a basic linguistic analysis of the Israeli Embassy shooter's manifesto (published by Klippenstein, who was allegedly visited by fed. agents wanting to know where he got it).
My analysis suggests the phrase "highly legible"...
2/ My analysis suggests the phrase "highly legible", when applied to an action, represents a classic "calque": a direct translation that preserves the semantic structure of the source language rather than adopting natural target language expressions.
3/ In Russian, the word "читаемый" (chitaemyy) encompasses both "readable" (for text) and "comprehensible/intelligible" (for actions, situations, or concepts), but English restricts use of the word "legible" exclusively for written material.
