As the name suggests, on this blog, I want to try to add descriptions to different media on here, that I couldn't already find ones for (and if they do already have one I overlooked, I apologize. The more, the merrier, right? /lh)
(I also might fluctuate between German and English posts, if I happen to come across a German one)
I will say, I'm nowhere near an expert on these things, and if you have any suggestions on how I can improve a description/my descriptions in general, feel free to tell me! Same goes for, if you find typos. I do spell check and re-read, but I can still miss things, of course
I did find this article on image descriptions quite useful, and will do my best to look out for any advice and tips
And, lastly, if I reblog your post with a description, and you want me to edit it (e.g. I got something about it wrong) or you want me to remove it, do not hesitate to reach out to me! No hard feelings, it's your post, after all :)
This blog is still in its "Baby Phase" (for lack of a better term), so I cannot say how often I'll post
[Image ID: A screenshot of a Pinterest post by "frank tomasic" with the caption "pup foto time", with fourteen likes and one comment. The picture shows someone holding what looks like a retriever puppy, directly into the camera. The person themselves is off-screen, showing only the dog brightly lit in an otherwise dark room. It has a relatively big body, with a huge nose and little eyes that look a little sad in a typical puppy-fashion.
The one comment is shown underneath the picture, though cut-off in the screenshot, reading: "he's so cute but he looks like he's in debt; I".

Hello,,
I'm Abdallah Alanqar, originally from Palestine but currently living in Belgium. I am reaching out to request your assistance for my brother's family & I quote: " "
Ahmed Alanqer, 34 years old, his wife Dina Alanqar, and their three children Zeina (7 years old), Eileen (6 years old), and Yamen (4 years old), have faced all the challenges brought by the war in Gaza, but now they need our help to escape this tragedy.

Ahmed worked as an accountant in a company, but with the escalation of the war, his professional life came to a halt, and his goods warehouse was burnt, along with his completely destroyed home. They fled to the north, but now they live in the tents of the displaced in Deir al-Balah.

Ahmed's goal is to leave the Gaza Strip to save his family's lives. The cost of travel for an adult is $5000, while the cost for each child is $2500, in addition to travel and accommodation expenses.
Together, we can provide support and assistance to Ahmed and his family in this ordeal. Your donation, no matter the size, can make a difference in the lives of these children who need a new chance to start over.
hi so i decided to amplify the Abu Qumbuz family from operation olive branch initiative. Ibrahim the eldest son of the Abu Qumbuz family reached out to me to emphasis the urgency of this fund in order to evacuate from Rafah to Egypt, then take a flight to turkey. His Mother Suha, his younger siblings: Adam (19) , Noor (18) Saad (16) Basema (13) and Mohammed (10)
The Abu Qumbuz family rebuilt their home from the 2014 IOF attacks in the Shuja’yya neighbourhood and once again their home was destroyed in Oct 2023 and their family was displaced multiple times due to IOF threats; Zeitoun area, then to Nuserait, then to Khan Younis.
His Ma, Suha continued to do her best to provide for her family by selling Gazan sweets but the last displacement to Rafah stopped all that. Right now their hope is to evacuate and start a life in Turkey.
as of May 23rd they are very close to their evacuation goal but they need more to go to sustain renting and education in turkey.
So please take the time to read the details of Ibrahim’s story, watch the video of their situation and donate what you can 1-5 dollars goes a long way especially if you reside in the imperial core.

[Second image ID: Three text messages sent to OP by Ibrahim. They read:
"Thank you. This is so kind of you to help my family evacuate. I am very grateful to you [heart emoji]"
"All I want to point out to him is that we are in a hurry to collect the amount. My mother is the sole breadwinner for my sisters and she has chronic diseases - diabetes and high blood pressure.
She works from morning until evening in a charity bakery and receives a salary. Approximately $15 a day to provide the basic needs of my sisters."
"We need to reach the required amount, for my mother to stop working, and for my brothers to return to education [praying hands emoji]". End ID]
[Image ID: A tweet by "mxmsworld", posted on the twelfth of February 2024. It reads: "I don't think people understand, if one bomb dropped in London, we would never move past it. The world would stop. A BOMB? what do you mean people getting blown into pieces on Oxford Street? This is what people are getting desensitised to. It DOESN'T make sense. It needs to STOP". End ID]
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share an urgent plea for help. Due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, my family and I have been forced to flee our home and seek refuge in Khan Younis. My mother, who is pregnant, is in critical need of assistance to ensure her safety and the safety of her unborn child.
We are facing severe hardships and are struggling to provide her with the necessary medical care and basic necessities. I have launched a campaign to raise funds for my mother's survival during this perilous time.
Your support in sharing our campaign on social media could make a life-saving difference. Please help us spread the word and gather the support we desperately need.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Sincerely,
Please help us by sharing the post on your page so that we can collect donations and get out of the war. You are our hope. I will be very grateful to you . ❤️🙏🏼

GoFundMe description under cut
I am Ahmed Shaqqoura, a resident of France, the only hope for my brother and his family, I tell you his story after I stood helpless to do anything.
In the chaos of displacement and the exhaustion of fleeing from death, between the jaws of this insane aggression and genocide in Gaza, I could not immortalize the story of my tired engineer brother Bassam Shaqqoura, and did not allow him and his young children to grieve sufficiently for the pain they have been forced to go on living. I will tell you Bassam's story, which is one of the truly painful stories in my miserable city of Gaza.
My brother Bassam graduated from the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering at Al-Azhar University in Gaza in 1995 and was one of the most qualified agricultural engineers in the Gaza Strip and graduated in his life until he was able to build a beautiful family that seeks to be always perfect by excelling his children in their studies and reforming those who use sophistication as their platform in life
All this came before the Israeli army planes came to steal the smile from my brother Bassam's family after they targeted his wife's family on July 20, 2014, killing 9 martyrs, most of them children, and this news was all over the newspapers after Israel admitted to killing civilians at that time.
Among the heartbreak, my brother Bassam was able to overcome this pain and began to raise his children again, hoping that they would forget this loss and compensate his wife for the feeling of orphanhood.
He has five young children who love life and have a bright hope in this world, for example, Laila, eighteen years old, has a talent for drawing, she wants to be a dentist and a collection artist at the same time. And Baraa, who tells everyone that he will become an agronomist. Each of them had their own little dream that they wanted to grow up with. Until October 7th and their dreams were shattered.With the start of the Israeli military operation in northern Gaza, Bassam, his wife and young children were forced to leave their home in the Al-Saftawi area of Al-Malash tower "North Gaza - Jabaliya", leaving behind them dreams that were built with years of hard work and effort. Leaving behind dreams that were fought with years of hardship and unparalleled effort, under the sound of bullets and with the intensification of the fire belts on northern Gaza on foot, these young children and their tired mother headed through corridors prepared by the Israeli army called the corridors of escape from death, they settled in Khan Younis, where they were welcomed by a Palestinian family there after they sat down. A Palestinian family there after they sat on the side of the road looking behind them at the columns of smoke rising from northern Gaza and at their homes that were bombed and the children's crying did not stop at that time, I remember that I was trying to call them and the communication was cut off there, and my brother Bassam's voice was repeating that death is chasing us and we will not survive.
They didn't expect that Khan Younis would turn into a war zone like northern Gaza. On November 6, 2023, Al Jazeera's camera documented the targeting of a house for the Shaqqoura family in Khan Younis, which killed many of our family members in Gaza, and death began to loom over Bassam and his family again when they decided to go to Rafah. The suffering did not stop there. On February 7, while they were sleeping, the Israeli army planes bombed the building next to them, the building was destroyed on their heads and they were pulled out from under the rescue by the civil protection crews there, and after several hours of the targeting they remained under the rescue, but they still had a chance to survive. They will settle in a tent on the shore of the Rafah Sea, fleeing from death and suffering all kinds of oppression and pain. They have no shelter, their home was bombed, their lives were destroyed, and the symptoms of death were drawn on their faces. They look sadly at the Egyptian border and have a glimmer of hope to cross that border to safety, but this matter is expensive, as they did not have their daily sustenance after the famine hit their intestines, they competed with animals for food due to the severity of hunger and the child who has not yet seen the light of day is crying with hunger. They competed with animals for their food out of hunger, and the child who has not yet seen the light of day is crying with hunger, and here I stand helpless to do anything, I cannot help them to get to safety through the Rafah gate, and it is not for the evil people to leave us to suffer all these woes of genocide and psychological warfare.
Rafah is no longer safe, the sounds of shelling are intensifying, the Israeli army is threatening to enter Rafah overnight, and there is no time to escape death.
The idea of exiting to Egypt through Yahala agency, the agent of the Egyptian authorities, the ticket costs 5000 dollars for an adult and 2500 for those under 18 years of age.
That's all we're asking for, just to stay alive in a place free from bombardment and death.
this year while we all celebrate pride month and celebrate ourselves as well as those who came before us and paved the way for us to do so, we must also think of those in gaza, queer or not, who live every day under a brutal occupation and don’t have that same privilege. happy pride, and may we see a free palestine in this lifetime.
[Image ID: A poster from the "ANU Queer Department" hanging on a wall, with the headline: "Can't have pride if you're dead." The word "pride" is in rainbow colours, and the word "dead" in black, while the rest is pink. Underneath it, it reads: "Queers for Palestine liberation | End the genocide".
The poster itself shows Gaza on the "Queering the Map" project. Over one of the place-markers, there is a speech bubble, reading:
"I've always imagined you and me sitting out in the sun, hand and hand, free at last. We spoke of all the places we would go if we could. Yet you are gone now. If I had known that bombs raining down on us would take you from me, I would have gladly told the world how I adored you more than anything. I'm sorry I was a coward."
The bottom third of the poster is covered in red splatters, resembling blood. The flag of Palestine, and the words: "Free Palestine" presented over top, next to the department's logo. End ID]

[Image ID: A bunny creature, holding a Palestinian flag in its mouth, sitting next to some text.
It reads: "Remember: This isn't a trend! Even after this strike "ends".. Keep talking keep supporting keep fighting from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free".
"This isn't a trend!" is written in green, red, white, and then black; from top to bottom. End ID]
[Image ID: The last of four tweets in a thread, by "O_Birbi". It is an image, with mostly text, and a humanoid drawing in the corner, holding up a Palestinian flag and giving a thumbs up.
The text reads: "Boycotting DOES work! Don't let others say it doesn't! Our voices and money matter no matter how small it seems in retrospect! Don't do it simply for publicity or clout either, that's a dick move! We all have a voice and we can all make a difference! Some of these companies have already started getting desperate, which shows we're doing a good job!
Keep Boycotting. Keep pushing pressure on targets and those in the government who directly fund the genocide. Keep fighting for the living."
Both "DOES" in the first sentence, and "Keep Boycotting" are underlined. End ID]
[Image ID: A response tweet by "palestinianbts", made to an older tweet of their own. The newer one, reads: " "it all started oct 7" look at the date of this tweet".
The tweet below was posted on the fifth of May 2019, and reads: "People in Gaza have been preparing for Ramadan with enthusiasm and happiness just like every Muslim around the world. But Israel had to come and blow up the city and kill innocent people (and kids) one day before the holy month. My condolences go to their families. Fuck Israel."
Attached to that tweet are two pictures. One, of a big, decorative crescent moon next to a street. It is covered top to bottom in fairy lights, and a light-red lantern hangs in the middle. The other, shows that same spot after the bombing, the display now completely dark and grey, with rubble laying all around. End ID]
It reads: "bisan has called for another strike on april 15th, 2024. during this strike DAY (not week!) we should be exclusively posting about palestine and making a conscious effort to spread awareness. during this time we will not be contributing to the economy as much as possible." End ID]
[Second Image ID: An Instagram post made by Bisan's account "wizard_bisan1" directly. Only the text part of the post can be seen.
It reads: "The terrorist Israeli occupation, after half a year, is still insisting on entering Rafah, which is the last city that still contains most of the population of the Gaza Strip.
80% of the Gaza Strip is destroyed and suffers from continuous military invasions, the movement of the Israeli army, besieging hospitals, commit massacres, destroy and blow up residential neighborhoods. And besieging the population and starving them.
The terrorist occupation is committing these crimes in front of the world, and is trying to have more time to destroy the hopes of the displaced to return and kill them with hunger and disease, and make the world get used to what is happening in Gaza and reduce media coverage and solidarity with Palestine, in addition to causing more destruction and strengthening the presence of the Israeli terrorists in Gaza in preparation for stealing the land.
Be smarter than them, and do not leave us to be killed and forgotten. April 15 is a day of global strike.. No schools, no movement, no work, no electronic payment, no gas stations. Make more noise and disturb the peace of terrorist politicians in America and IsraHell.
In the picture, me after half a year of documenting the genocide and surviving it daily without being sure of surviving the next day, and I will not stop until this genocide ends and I sit in the middle of my city feeling safe while I help my people rebuild Gaza." End ID]
