ملاحظة مهمة : الاشخاص الي يرسلون صور مرة بدون ورقة ومرة ورقة لحالها .. يقراء هالشىء ١٠مرات
صورة حديثة للاشخاص المذكورين بالقصة في الخيمة او بيت او اية مكان يوحي ويثبت انك في غزة مع ورقة مكتوب عليها تاريخ اليوم واسم gazavetters في نفس الصورة والصورة بالاسفل اشبه للكلام الي مش مفهوم للبعض
ملاحظة مهمة:
يُرجى إرسال جميع البيانات المذكورة أعلاه متتالية في رسالة واحدة. سنعمل بسرعة كبيرة على توثيق الحملات المرسلة إلينا والموجودة في قوائم الانتظار.
2. القواعد والقوانين وضوابط الاستخدام السليم للتطبيق: لتجنب الإضرار بالآخرين أو الإساءة لأي شخص، وما يترتب على المخالفين من عقوبات. (على الأقل للقائمة الخاصة بنا، وسنسعى لتطبيقها أيضًا على القوائم الموثوقة الأخرى بالتنسيق مع أصدقائنا المسؤولين عنها).
وذلك لحماية الحملات وضمان احترام الآخرين وعدم الإضرار بالمجتمع الداعم، نُؤكد على الالتزام بالقواعد التالية:
1. عدم التعليق بطلب المساعدة في منشورات الآخرين:
لا يجوز استخدام منشورات الآخرين، سواء المتعلقة بفلسطين أو بموضوعات أخرى، لنشر تعليقات استغاثة أو طلب مساعدة. هذا السلوك يضر بالجميع، وقد يؤدي إلى حظر أصحاب الحملات أو إغلاق التعليقات على المنشورات، مما يسيء إلى صورة الحملات الفلسطينية عامة.
2. عدم ابتزاز المدونات الداعمة وغير الداعمة:
تلقينا شكاوى من مدونات أجنبية حول محاولات ابتزاز وشتم. أي شخص يثبت قيامه بذلك سيُعاقب بتدابير صارمة لضمان عدم تكرار هذه السلوكيات.

عند الحاجة، يُمكنك ذكر المدونات في منشوراتك فقط وبطريقة محترمة، دون إحراج أو تهديد.
4. عدم نشر منشورات تهديد أو اتهام للمدونات:
لا يحق لك اتهام أو تهديد أي مدونة لم تستجب لطلبك.

This is not the kind of post a mother wants to write
When I look at this picture, I see a child who should be allowed to enjoy a beautiful moment without fear or worry. But I am writing this because I need help providing basic essentials for my family.
I am sharing this because I want people to see him first, and to remember that behind every fundr@iser_ there is a real family trying to hold on.
If you can don@te_, thank you.
If you can’t, reblogging this post would still h_elp us.
Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.
Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.
gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"
I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.
I work at a library. We do this thing where, every so often, we weed the collection. It hurts to see books go, but it's necessary to make sure there's room in the library for new materials.
I have seen so much support for the library in text, and I've seen folks pass around those beautiful "queer your library" flyers. Keep doing that. That's great. Nothing wrong with that. But you HAVE to turn your words into action. We MUST remember to actually go to our local organizations and libraries and actually, with our own fucking hands, interact with these materials we want to see more of.
My branch is medium-sized for a library, maybe a little small. We don't have as many materials as I'd like, but we have fundamentals. Tell me why, even with all the verbal support I've gotten from my local community for the library as a resource for our LGBT+ community, every single trans biography and a good chunk of our vaguely queer theory books were on the list. This isn't a scheme to take the books off the shelves, it isn't another bigoted American governmental push. The only thing we look at when we weed is how long it's been since the last time the item was checked out.
Three years.
No one in my community interacted in any meaningful way with the few books on trans life and history we physically had on the shelves for three fucking years.
I promise you the materials you want and need are there, but this isn't a horde. This isn't a static safety net. You have to use them. You MUST use them or, in the future, maybe in three years, they *won't* be there anymore.
This isn't a vague post, there's no one person I'm hinting at or calling out. I'm not even talking directly to anyone who's directly in my line of sight. I just want everyone to hear this. Big library, small library, whatever. Doesn't matter. Please, we cannot be losing our shelf visibility like this.
I work in a different library and can confirm, it's a decision based on popularity not censorship
we're big enough to have lots of shelf space but still have the problem on a different scale. We do have a back storage room rather than completely getting rid of some things, but having to ask for that might be a barrier for sensitive subject matter and prevent people from casually stumbling across something of interest
Yep. Different library worker here, we weeded adult non-fiction recently bc it's most rarely used and we needed to clear a bookshelf of space, and there were a decent number of queer books on the list. Thankfully not all of them, but some (we had a lot lol). Our criteria is also no borrows in 3yrs. I can't borrow the whole list by myself. I do try to get these books in, and the local authority are happy to buy them, but we need space for new books every so often and we can't keep everything forever! If you want them, you have to use them!
(incidentally, the whole list was 35 pages long, which... please borrow the books you want people)
I didn't have time to comment the first time I reblogged, but I can add now:
I'm also a librarian and queer books are almost always cut first when we have to weed for space or prioritize new releases over old items because no one reads them
I will say, when I worked at a large downtown location, we had a "browsing card" that we would check out items we found taken off the shelf and left on a table, as an example of a book that had clearly been read, just not checked out by anyone
it's possible queer books do actually get a bit of unfair treatment in this regard because people may be nervous or outright scared to check them out onto an account with their name on it. so they get browsed at a much higher rate, but if a library doesn't have a specific system in place (or need for it) to count browsed items, then it looks like they aren't being used and they get weeded
for other librarians, a browsing card is a great idea if you have enough staff for the extra work / enough items left out to justify it
for patrons, check out queer books even if you don't read them! you're not lying or committing any type of fraud. you're keeping books on the shelf long enough for pride season when people are interested in checking them out again and for people scared to use their own accounts or who don't have library cards
for anyone nervous about using their library card, libraries do not keep search histories of what you check out!! this means even if the government does come back with a warrant, *wet farting noise* too bad! it doesn't exist!
I have to wonder how often they aren't checked out because those in an exploratory period may not feel safe enough for them to go home with them, too. Kids, for example, or folks who have ended up in a het marriage that... Doesn't feel like it's quite right (or may be physically abusive).
This is most definitely one of the causes of this. That's why it's so important for folks who *can* to *do*.
It feels like such a small thing, but all movements are made up of small things! We have this mindset that in order to get everything done, everyone must be doing their (or *the*) absolute best at all times. But not everyone can do the same things, to the same degree, with the same amount of productivity or success. Not everyone can; sometimes, they're the ones that need help. Sometimes people just need help.
This post is very much so intended for the people who can. I've seen a lot of replies from folks who say they don't have to (or don't think about) checking out or requesting queer books from the library specifically because they *can* buy them, can pirate them, or already have them in their house or on their computers or phones. But in instances like that, keeping these books in circulation is less for you and more for the people who can't. The folks who come to the library, who don't have access to internet--or even electricity--at home and would never--have never--been able to interact with this "ubiquitous queer community" we have here online who has made so many of these. materials so avaliable to the rest of us.
And... if I can be a little frank. Sometimes the hyperaccessibility of these materials online (through pirating, cheap e-book copies, etc) gives people a false sense of security. It implies that these things are an infinate resource, good for "When I get around to it".
And often, you won't. There's so much to read and so much to do. So much to download and so much to sit down and stare at for hours. That kind of mental scope puts books in people's hands (or phones), but never in their heads.
But the moment your favorite document archival site gets knocked offline for breaching copyright or your go-to mega corporate audiobook distributor decides it doesn't want "those" materials anymore, what's left? What did you download? What information did you internalize? Did you ever get around to it? If you did, great, but what good does that do for the person who didn't? Are you going to be the one to redistribute that information? Are you going to communicate it in the place of the author whose words are no longer publically accesible or, mostly avaliable, but only behind hefty paywalls and financial gatekeeping? How would someone else get a hold of it? How could they, if they wanted?
Gosh... there's so many options. I wouldn't know where to start without knowing who I'm talking to and what they're looking for. What I can recommend is for folks to check out creators like @makingqueerhistory who have spent just a ridiculously beautiful amount of time collecting queer history and book lists! You'll find something in seconds reading their page.
Personal pitch: I liked the books Tar Hollow Trans and Gay Poems for Red States. Both great.
I'm glad I was tagged in this because it means I can cosign (and also add a little nugget of info).
I live in a province that is currently trying to ban queer books from libraries, and as a library patron, this is terrifying. 95% of the books I read are from the library and a lot of them are way out of my budget to buy personally.
Making Queer History would not exist without the school library I skipped class in to write articles. It would not exist without my friends with library cards for their universities sharing them and getting me access to rare texts. I would not be able to read as much as I do without Libby and Hoopla. If I have ever given you a book recommendation, know that I likely got it from the library first.
I cannot overstate the importance of protecting libraries and checking out queer books. And I want to say thank you to everyone above for being as passionate as I am about queer books in libraries.
I am now on my fifth day without food… surviving only on water Not because I’m fasting by choice . I do this to save whatever little food I can for my family.
The food we have left wouldn’t last a day if we all ate. So I stay hungry. I drink water to quiet the pain, to stay standing, to keep going. Every bite I don’t eat means one more bite for my kids.
@dawoudi and I speak almost every day. Every day I ask him how he's doing and hope he can tell me he's been able to eat something. He tells me not to worry, but I can't help it, because my heart is breaking.
Please help him by donating to his family's fundraiser, so that they can buy food when it arrives on the market. Thank you. ❤️
New update 27th of July 2025
(This is what famine looks like.
We are st… ENASE ZAGOOT needs your support for Support DrDarine and Her Fami
It is #15 on the gazavetters list, and was also shared by @nabulsi here and here.
My father was at the market, as he always is, searching for anything that might ease our hunger. Under the relentless sun and on his seventh day without food, surviving only on water he collapsed from sheer exhaustion.
Thank God, he’s home now, beside me. But he’s terribly weak, as if his body can no longer carry the weight of life. I begged him to eat. I pleaded, just so he could stay with us a little longer. He hasn’t had chicken, or meat, or even fruit. God knows we don’t have those.
He finally took a few bites of dry bread. But watching him struggle to swallow, my throat tightened. The lump wasn’t just in his throat it was in my heart. Scraps of stale bread… which I begged him to eat, just so his heartbeat wouldn’t leave this home.
Because sometimes, hunger "cruel as it is" is easier to bear than eating when your dignity is shattered. When you’re trapped, abandoned, and the world is watching in silence.
We at the @gazavetters team extend our heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery and complete safety to our brother AboAhmed @dawoudi and his honorable family.
We are all going through extremely difficult circumstances, and we pray that this hardship will soon pass, and that peace and security will prevail for everyone.
This is a historic event in every painful sense of the word a brutal war, massive destruction, and a famine devouring lives. Every moment of delay could mean the loss of another life.
I’m deeply thankful to be back home, surrounded by my children. Though my body is tired and frail, my heart still beats with strength, and my will remains unshaken.
These past days have been harsh, but it is dignity and patience that have truly kept me going. Hardship has not broken me and by God’s grace, it never will.
As long as there is breath in me "in all of us" we will stand tall, endure with courage, and keep praying for relief, not only for ourselves but for all who suffer.
Vetted! #15 on @/gazavetters vetted gfm list, promoted by @/gazavetters here, promoted by nabulsi (x, x, x, x).
In what world is it normal for a person to have to go for 7 days without food? Please, please, please support them in this incredibly difficult time!
