hello, i am still fundraising for lana, my friend from gaza with a congenital heart defect. pls click the links to donate to her & her family- even something small adds up. ty from both of us 🙏
Hola, i'm Calli, a nonbinary mexican parent. Both my partner and I are chronically ill, we're the main providers for our family of 9, that includes his mom, dad and sister because they lost everything in a fire back in November 2023. TW for the house after the fire.
We are poor and unemployed, all adults have some chronic condition, chronic pain and we live constantly exposed to mold, rust and other issues the house has. The landlord does jackshit but sure comes to collect rent every now and then.
To top it off i have been getting harrassed by racist unkind people here, making me suicidal.
My blog's archive proving i have been here since 2013, the first post i ever reblogged.

I sometimes share recipes too!
I have been offering spanish conversation classes online for $12 usd/hr. Right now im earning $12 a week, do you think I can support a family of 9 with that?
**I tracked down comments in notes ive made through the years, as far as 2016, I did all that even before this new tumblr update showing our comments so I did all that hard work for nothing lol, you can ask for links in my dm's this is already long enough as is.**
Our goal is to get our eldest's a couple of binders, his testosterone and medication he needs for a condition he needs a surgery for but we can't afford.
$0/$500
PAYPAL KOFI THRONE
*We made a throne to show some needs we have but usually don't get because we focus on food and bills, we're behind on rent and bills and need groceries so money would help us even more.
If my page suddenly stops posting one day, know that my sister has died. I will never forget the people who saw her bleeding, suffering, and begging for help, yet chose silence and continued scrolling.
I feel completely broken and deeply ashamed begging strangers for help every day, because this suffering has turned me into a sister forced to sacrifice even her dignity just to keep her family alive.
I want nothing from this world except seeing my sister walk and laugh again. Please donate so I can buy medicine and bandages instead of expired drugs and torn clothes to clean her wound.
My friend Mohammed, his daughter Mona, and their whole family are currently trying to escape Gaza as the opportunity to do so presents itself again.
As time goes on and people continue to doubt the legitimacy of Gazan fundraisers, I must reaffirm that I know Mohammed personally, and have been in close communication with him for over a year. If nothing else, I can offer a picture of Mona by the tent they've been able to afford with previous donations.
Thank you to everyone who has supported. Please, if you can, continue to support Mohammed and Mona. Even just reblogging this post would be a great help
From the vigil for Persia Amarra Conway, the transgender woman who was found dead in SW Houston near Brays Bayou on Memorial Day. This is some of what her mom said about her.
idk why so many people are blocking me just for asking for their help...I don't want to be rich; I want to raise the money for my father's heart surgery and buy medicine for the scabies that has plagued my family
If anything happens to my dad, please remember that I begged you to donate, even a small amount, or to share my post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and doesn't support me with a single word or a small donation
This photo was taken in my office before the war. I had a place to work, stable electricity, internet, and a laptop that carried my future and my income.
Today, none of that remains.
There are barely any workspaces with reliable electricity. My laptop was lost when my home was destroyed. Even the internet is no longer for work — only enough to send messages and let people know we are still here.
I am not asking for luxury. I am trying to regain the ability to work again, to rebuild a small part of the life I had.

If you can support, share, or stand with me, it truly makes a difference.
If this page goes silent one day, please know that I tried.
I tried to work. I tried to survive. I tried to rebuild. I tried to keep begging even when it destroyed my dignity.
But you — who claim to care about Gaza — keep scrolling while we starve.
How will you live with yourself when we are gone? How will you answer when they ask why you did nothing?
Don’t wait until it’s too late to care.
Your silence is killing us.

pjackk was unbanned because @3liza finally got through to staff about a fucking weird bug with the support form that got the metal bastard banned because it claimed he posted some Bulgarian nationalist shit (this was not a real post that pjackk ever posted). other high-profile bans like @garaks-padded-bra was hit with the same bug and its being investigated
there was a new feature added that lets people see your comments on your blog page in a tab like your likes or followers. everyone was mad that it was not toggle-able. it was actually toggle-able.
pjackk was either banned again or he deactivated and we'll know in 30 days when the deactivation grace period is up and his blog is renamed
Help give aid for a life-threatened LGBTQ+ refugee in South Sudan:
I was directly asked to make this post; this post helps Comrade Abdul, a queer Ugandan-Kenyan-Sudanese refugee who fled to the Gorom Refugee Settlement camp seeking safety from genocide, only to be met with with life-threatening anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination notorious to the camp. The information in this post was shared with Comrade Abdul's consent.
How will you help Comrade Abdul?
I can't donate, but will share this to find people who can!
I'll share AND donate!

Fleeing from the LGBTQ+ genocide in Uganda, then Kenya, where queer and trans folks are disappeared and murdered on account of their LGBTQ+ status in both countries—indeed, in 66 countries in the region—Comrade Abdul found himself in the Gorom Refugee Settlement camp in South Sudan, a camp already flooded with non-Arabic refugees from the Sudanese genocide and Anuak refugees from the Ethiopian genocide, only to receive life-threatening anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination on account of his sexuality.
The Gorom Refugee settlement has a medical capacity of only 2,000 people, and yet has a current population exploding beyond 22,000: eleven times its medical capacity.
LGBTQ+ activist Yaga Puison reported to Washington Blade:
"[LGBTQ+ refugees] endure daily attacks, lack of police assistance, death threats, stoning, abuses, discrimination, bullying, denial of medical care, and the inability for their children to access education. Many are also deprived of proper shelter, leading to health risks such as pneumonia."
Comrade Abdul asked me to inform you that this camp is swept with HIV, malaria, and typhoid fever—life threatening diseases—and they desperately need aid for medical care. Even with this cramming of underfed, sick, and dying refugees, a parasitic landlord still demands $150/month just so they can stay.
Food, shelter, and medical care, much alike our comrades in Palestine and the Congo, are a human right turned luxury in Sudan. Despite these odds, Comrade Abdul has remained strong, taking nearly a dozen children under his protection and care as they navigate these dangerous circumstances.
Comrade Abdul and the people he cares for are starving, struggling to find clean water, and deprived of medical care, all while continuing to be sapped by capitalist pigs. While many of us are unable to provide direct material aid, you can still help in another way: economically.
Anything you have to spare should be spared for Comrade Abdul and his group. Rather than buying a $60-80 game from a company keeping Gary Bowser as an indentured servant, send it to Comrade Abdul to help them achieve safer conditions; at the very minimum, to help them stay in the camp, away from genocidal soldiers in all directions.
You can help them at this GoFundMe campaign, where at time of writing it's only 61% complete:
