“3,090 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which sand becomes glass, in a process known as the Pilkington Process. This is not the temperature of burning; this is the temperature of becoming something.”
My mouth is a fire escape
The words coming out don’t care that they are naked
There is something burning in here
When it burns, I hold my own shell to my ear
Listen for the parade when I was seven
The man who played the bagpipes wore a skirt
He was from Scotland- I wanted to move there
Wanted my spine to be the spine of an unpublished book
My fate, the first and last page
The day my ribcage became monkey bars
For a girl hanging on my every word
They said “you are not allowed to love her”
Tried to take me by the throat
And teach me I was not a boy
I had to unlearn their prison speak
Refuse to make wishes on the star on the sheriff’s chest
I started wishes on the stars in the sky instead
I said to the the sun
“Tell me about the big bang”
The sun said
“it hurts to become”

The US-backed settler-colonial state of Israel is advancing it's genocidal occupation of Gaza.
The Israeli military is demanding the displacement of all residents of Gaza to the south of the Gaza Strip, which is now a semi-desert area after all means of life were destroyed there. (90% of those currently living in the Gaza Strip were already forcibly displaced from other areas of Palestine, and are now being forcibly displaced again).
The Israeli occupation is now intensifying bombings so that those remaining, who cannot afford displacement, are being forced to flee urgently to the south.
Palestinians in Gaza, including my dear friend Fadel, are in a state of confusion and extreme fear because they are under bombardment and do not have the means to travel and evacuate to the southern Gaza Strip. What are your options when you cannot survive where you are, but you also do not have the funds to survive displacement?
Fadel and his family have calculated the costs of displacement and exit towards the south of the Strip.
The Cost of Displacement:
€1,000 - Tent
The price of a tent is very high due to the scarcity of tents and the large number of families purchasing them for displacement. Some families have tents already, but Fadel's family's tent was destroyed earlier this month and they are sleeping on the street.
€1,000 - Transportation
Transportation costs to the southern Gaza Strip are high due to the scarcity of fuel in the Gaza Strip.
€600 - Building and purchasing bathroom supplies
€500 / month - Rent
The average rent charged for land for the size of the tent and bathroom.
This means that a small family would need between €3,000 and €3,200 to be able to live in this area and begin a semi-normal life, not including the costs of food and medicine, which remain high. He still needs to buy medication each month to treat his chronic illness.
The time to donate to families in the Gaza Strip is right now. This is more urgent by the day. Bombs are falling and everyone is trapped with no way to stay and no way to leave.
Fadel's campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#197) and 90-ghost. He first made this campaign after being disabled in the bombing of his home, when doctors informed his family that he needs urgent surgery to remove shrapnel from his body. Now getting this care seems increasingly distant as this money is used up just surviving constant bombings, displacement, and starvation.
At time of writing, he has raised €31,413 out of his goal of €50,000. Not all of this sum can even go towards the displacement costs, as commission rates are still high. Today the commission ranges between 30-40%, but two weeks ago it was as high as 50%.
It is good to donate what you can as soon as possible while the commission rates are lower than 50%.
This is urgent.

We are going through the worst period of the war. We are going through a period of extreme pressure, fear and excessive thinking. We are going through the worst days of our lives because the occupation is increasing its bombing to force us to the southern Gaza Strip. Knowing that we have been displaced several times before this time, but this time we will be displaced to a very far area, an area that is not habitable. We will start establishing our lives from scratch. Therefore, I hope that you, my friends, will stand by us and help us by donating so that we can collect the costs of our displacement and start our new harsh life. Please donate.

Israel has constructed severe famine through continuous bombing of infrastructure, months of blockades, and sabotaging efforts for humanitarian groups to distribute aid. 98.5% of Gaza's cropland has been destroyed or made inaccessible by Israel's ecocide.
Thousands of people have been brutally injured or killed by the Israeli military and mercenaries at the GHF death traps since they opened just a couple months ago.
90% of Gaza's 2.4 million residents have been displaced, and the death toll since 2023 has surpassed 61,000, many of whom were children and babies. The Israeli military occupation controls 75% of Gaza, and on August 7, Israel's security cabinet approved Netanyahu's plan to occupy the rest of Gaza.
This stage of genocide has received public criticism from many, even including some allies of Israel such as the British Prime Minister, the French Foreign Minister, the German Chancellor, the European Council President, and the European Commission President. As of writing this, this criticism has not translated into any meaningful change in policy. These leaders think statements can distract from their bloody hands while they still fund and directly benefit from the genocidal settler-state of Israel.
UN high commissioner for human rights released a statement saying: "The Israeli Government's plan for a complete military takeover of the occupied Gaza Strip must be immediately halted." But what is the UN doing to empower Palestine?
We must not place undue weight on statements. What matters is action. Israel's access to the tools of genocide must be severed, and Palestine's access to the resources of survival must be given immediately.
My friend Fadel needs urgent medical attention. He survived the bombing of his home, but has not been able to afford travel to a hospital that has the resources to remove the shrapnel from his body. He is in constant pain, and needs monthly medication for his disability. The cost of food is high, and his family can only afford bread with a consistent stream of donations. They are starving.

Fadel's fundraiser was vetted by @gazavetters (line #197) and shared by @90-ghost (here).
I talk to him often, and I can tell you that the number of donations he receives each week directly impacts whether he can access medicine and food to relieve his pain and keep him alive. I can also tell you that he is a very kind young man with a compassionate heart.
Please help him. He needs support. Please consider donating to his campaign, reblogging this post and scheduling it throughout the week so others see it, or sending him a kind message at @fadel-dani.
We are facing very difficult and dangerous days I have told you repeatedly.!!! My family and I are in dire need of your help, everyone is ignoring and bypassing us. I hope you will help me so that I can buy my medicine as soon as possible, so that we can buy some food so that we do not die of hunger or be killed when we go seeking help and so that we can travel out of Gaza as soon as possible. Please have mercy on us and help us by donating so that I can buy my medicine and some food. Please donate. Stand by us. Please help us by donating, Please Donate.
Fadel really needs the help because he is already injured and his health is suffering from the stress and the pain! Please, share and give what you can to help Fadel & his family's vetted campaign 💚
Yesterday, the occupation assassinated several journalists. Please, friends, don't ignore me and leave us alone. Don't forget what we are going through. Please don't ignore what we are going through and what we are suffering from. Please donate to us so that I can buy my medication and buy some food And let's escape from this hell as soon as possible. Please don't leave us alone. Please help us, Please donate.
My internet connection has been cut off in my area due to heavy shelling. I went to a faraway place and connected to the internet to reassure you, my friends, that we are fine. I hope you do not forget us in your prayers and I hope you share this post. Let everyone know that I am still alive. Thank you to someone who missed me.Rest assured, we are still alive. Thank you, my friends.❤️❤️
I spoke with Fadel a few hours ago to confirm he was safe. He had to leave our conversation, saying "I heard an explosion near that area and I see some smoke. I can talk to you tomorrow if nothing bad happens to us."
He has no access to the internet right now because conditions are so dangerous. He needs our support to share his campaign widely.
Please schedule this post several times so more of your followers see it. He urgently needs funds for medication and food. Thank you <3
