note for those who will send asks seeking aid (reading before sending your message is not required)
i would like to share awareness about every campaign that you ask me to, but there are some things that might be useful to know.
edit 2/2/26: a lot of people tag me in replies or reblogs to spread posts, rather then sending me asks. this is understandable, but i would prefer being sent an ask if possible. the tags are flooding my notifications which makes it hard for me to get to all of the fundraisers i'm being asked to share.
i can only read english and french. i will not ignore asks sent in other languages, but i will need to use a machine translator, which may cause inaccuracies if i am to post the ask.
due to past experience, i am extremely wary about scams. even if i believe someone is being truthful, i do not have the ability to fully confirm it for myself. i will check if a fundraiser has been verified by a reliable source before i share it myself; a clean reverse image search does not suffice for me as i have not found reverse image searches to be fully reliable. if it has not yet been verified, i will check regularly until it is.
you are welcome to send multiple asks about the same fundraiser. however, i will only respond to one at a time; if you send me three messages at once, i will most likely post one and delete the others. but if you send your fundraiser again after i've already posted it, i am willing to do so again. if your fundraiser has not yet been verified, i will delete your older messages so that i can see your fundraiser link closer to the top of my inbox.
i reblog fundraisers by putting them on a queue. i believe this allows for more eyes on all the campaigns, and people are ironically less likely to ignore it if it's not spammed onto their dashboard. my queue is currently set to post 10 times a day over a 24 hour period.
i have a habit of liking posts before i reblog them, even if i queue the posts. i have stopped doing this for fundraisers because i worry the people making those posts will think i am only going to like the posts without reblogging them, since they wouldn't be reblogged immediately. but if i like your fundraiser post, that means the reblog of it has been added to my queue and will be posted soon.
i am not going to engage with any posts that use AI generated imagery.
i'm turning off my messages for now, please use my ask box
thank you for reading, i hope my words are easy enough to understand. may your people achieve freedom and peace within our lifetimes.
Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as āproblematicā in class and our professor was like, āThatās cool, but āproblematicā doesnāt really mean anything. It means that the thing youāre describing has a problem, and in and of itself thatās not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else itās not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like youāre trying to say that this is bad, but you donāt want to say ābad.ā Is that right?ā
So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the ābadā thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, āIām uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.ā
Once we stopped calling things āproblematicā and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, āthatās racistā or āthatās misogynisticā or āew capitalism grossā out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, āUhhh... Iām not sure whatās so bad?ā and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.
Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I canāt help but think of this professor being like, āGood starting point, now letās get specific.ā I think when we have to commit to saying āthatās ___ā it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever weāre claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes itās art, and it should be full of problems, because thatās what art is.
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
If anything bad happens to my nephew, 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, and ignores me.
I write these words with tears in my eyes, watching my nephew suffer so much, unable to get up. He has been in excruciating pain and has had repeated fainting spells over the past week due to severe anemia. I cannot afford all the medications he needs because of their high prices. All I wish is that he doesn't faint again, so I implore you to support me and help me buy his medications as soon as possible. Please donate.
Worse still, my nephew lost his father in this genocide, and I, his uncle, am their sole provider.
His condition is deteriorating daily, and he desperately needs urgent surgery before his pain worsens. The pain is constant, even at night; he can't sleep, and every moment feels like endless agony.
I stand helpless before this heartbreaking scene.
I don't have enough money to cover the costs of the operation or even to provide the medication that would alleviate his excruciating pain. My sense of helplessness is just as painful as his illness itself, perhaps even more so.
I need your help to alleviate my nephew's suffering and save him as soon as possible.
Please, I don't want anything bad to happen to him; I've already lost my mother, my older brother, my home, and my friends. Please help me raise the necessary funds for my nephew's medication and surgery as quickly as possible. Support me, donate.

Oh my God, my wife has completely lost consciousness. Her health is deteriorating due to lack of treatment. We are living through catastrophic conditions due to the war and the blockade. š
We are suffering from a severe shortage of food and medicine; we are suffering from acute malnutrition.
My wife is four months pregnant. Due to lack of food and medicine, she has completely lost consciousness. Her life and the baby's are in danger, and I am helpless to do anything for her.
I feel like I am going to die. We are living in hell because of the war. I don't want to lose my wife. My wife needs treatment as soon as possible to save her life and the life of her unborn child. Please help me, don't leave me alone in this cruel world.
I ask for your help with a heart filled with sorrow, loss, and pain. I lost my mother and older brother in this war.
Therefore, I am asking for your help and compassion to save my wife's life. Is there anyone who can save my wife? We urgently need a course of treatment costing 450 euros to improve her condition.

In the heart of Gaza, a family of four clings to survival in the shadow ofā¦ Rania A needs your support for Gaza Family Left With Nothing Hel
I write this post with a heart filled with both pain and hope. I live in the Gaza Strip, where the simple details of daily life have turned into a real battle for survival.
The situation here has become unbearable: Food crisis: We are suffering from a severe shortage of food and clean water. Food contamination: Due to displacement and destruction, rodents and insects attack what little food we have left, rendering it contaminated and unfit for human consumption, but we sometimes find ourselves with no other options. Health situation: The lack of hygiene and the spread of pests threaten us with diseases and epidemics every day. Insecurity: We live in constant fear and lack the most basic necessities of human life.
I desperately need your support to provide clean food and water for my family. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in saving my life and the lives of my family. Please share this post so it reaches as many kind hearts as possible. Please don't let me down. All I ask of you is to get food for my family. Donate šš

sorry to start a genuine question with "does anyone else" but: does anyone else remember the difference between "e.g." and "i.e." by reading them as "example given" and "in essence" respectively even though that's not what they actually stand for
Gaza today is broken in ways that are hard to describe. Everything has changed, and the homes that were once full of life are now just memories. Tents are everywhere, as if we are living through an ending that never ends.
Many people write about us with beautiful words, and express our pain through poetry and music, but the truth is, that doesnāt ease what we are going through. We donāt just need words, we need real support to keep going.
Every day we try to hold on, but the exhaustion keeps growing, and the fear never leaves us, especially with my fatherās illness and his constant need for treatment.
Please donate to my family . If you are able to help, please donāt let this be just something you read and move on from.
Thank you to everyone who truly cares and tries to help.
ššš Fundraiser vetted (#167 by el-shab-hussein & nabulsi), But we created a new GoFundMe page because GoFundMe suspended the beneficiaryās account on the platform, which put us in a very difficult situation.
Please help me buy a meal for my kids , any meal even if it's simple. ( A simple meal might not mean much to you but to my kids, it means a day without hunger ) . Please, prices are extremely high and we are struggling day by day
Please I just wanna save my kids , help us and don't leave us alone. Pleaseš
I am Nisreen, a mother of three children from Gaza. We lost everything in the war. My husband was injured in the war and he cannot work. We are living in a state of hunger and displacement. Help me save my children from death. If you can help, do please even if a little, it helps

There is a kind of pain you cannot describe ā the pain of watching your family fade from hunger right in front of your eyes.
Every day here feels heavier than the one before.
My family and I are struggling with severe malnutrition. Food is no longer something we can rely on ā itās something we desperately hope to find.
I am a father to a small child who cries from hunger, and my wife is pregnant, needing proper nutrition that I simply cannot provide. Watching them suffer while I stand helpless is something no one should ever experience.
We are not asking for comfort or luxury ā we are asking for survival.
A small donation from you could mean food for my child, strength for my wife, and hope for our unborn baby. It could mean one day without hunger, one moment of relief.
Please, if you can, stand with us in this difficult time. Your help could save my family.
Every contribution, no matter how small, truly makes a difference.
Israel continues its siege of Gaza, and today it stopped the Freedom Flotilla attempting to break the blockade and attacked the crews of the ships heading to Gaza.
I am certain that there are many people who can help us, even with a little.
Any donation, no matter how small, saves lives from death, feeds hungry children, protects a pregnant mother and her unborn child, and sustains a family in need.
Iām writing this again because I have no other choice. My family is still struggling to find basic food. Prices are rising, and we canāt keep up.
My little child is still waiting for a normal meal. My wife is pregnant, and Iām trying to stay strong for themābut itās getting harder every day.
Even the smallest donation can make a real difference for us right now.
If you canāt donate, please share this post. It might reach someone who can help.
š Your kindness could mean food on our table today.
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like theyāre gone. itās the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
Watching my mother suffer while the world stays silent is a pain I wouldn't wish on anyone.
If it were your mother, you would fight with everything you have. Thatās what Iām doing.
We urgently need $500. If just 20 people donate $25 each, my mom gets a chance at life. No amount is too small.
Please don't look away your action can be her survival today. Donate or reblog now.

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like
i stopped giving a shit about "legit" purchases of digital products after i spent $80 on the entire Dark Horse collection of Trigun/Trigun Maximum ebook mangas, learning that I only got access to reading them through a proprietary website ereader function, couldn't download them, and couldn't get a refund, and then literally only a year later, getting an e-mail stating that Dark Horse was shutting down that part of their company and I wouldn't even be able to read them anymore. Fuck that
Pirate shit. Don't feel bad for it. It's not "your fault" that artists, independent or otherwise, can't make a living. You downloading an album or ebook for free isn't the cause of the problem. The cause is capitalism, plain and simple, and pirating is a lucky loophole that companies are still trying to stomp out.
