Hello 👋
My name is Noor, a mother of three from Gaza. We were forced to flee south due to the war, and my husband was injured in his shoulder. We have moved several times seeking safety. I have started a fundraising campaign to protect my children and family. We need your support to provide safety and basic needs.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a significant difference. If you cannot donate, please help by sharing our story so it reaches those who can assist،.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart🌷.
Please consider donating to help Nour Alanqar and her family of three young children survive repeated displacement and bombings in Gaza. She and her husband have a 6-year-old son, a 5-year-old daughter who needs medical care, and a 10-month-old baby born during the genocide. If you can, offer some material aid to help them rebuild. This fundraiser has been verified by @/90-ghost here I hope that you and your family are able to find some stability. I am so sorry for the unspeakable violence that has been done and is being done to you.

Here is Abdelrahman's gofundme. This fundraiser has been vetted by @90-ghost here and by @/el-shab-hussein here.
Please consider donating to help their family survive Gaza after the destruction of their home in a missile strike. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for reaching out.
If you have sent me an ask with a fundraiser for your family in Gaza in the last few weeks: I am deeply sorry for the delay in my reply. I have not been able to reliably get on Tumblr this month.
I am going to queue answers to these asks four days apart, so that people who follow me are more likely to genuinely absorb each one. So there will be additional delay in response for most of them but it is meant to improve the chances of people donating.
Everyone who has already sent me an ask, it will be answered in queue in the next couple weeks. But I don't know that I will be able to keep up with future requests responsibly, so I am going to close my askbox for now.
Free Palestine.
An apeal of help for people of Gaza !!! 🧡💚🤍🖤
Dear supporters ,
All thanks and gratitude for your humane stances with people of Gaza that badly need your support and assistance in this dire time.
Nine months of displacement and famine have incredibly added to our sufferings and hardships. We have used all words of sadness and sorrow to describe the situation we have reached to, but such words weren't enough. The size of tragedy and suffering are much greater than you may have seen or watched on several channels and social media sites.
To be displaced and homeless isn't easy to imagine. To lose what you have built all your lifetime is unbearable to think of!!! Houses and livelihood businesses have vanished, leaving behind the whole family to suffer for getting the simplest daily basic needs! Life is unfairly dire and harsh, and we don't deserve to live such hard scenarios.
So , I am asking you to give your hand to people leading a hard and dire life in Gaza. You are our last hope in a time all means of life no longer exist. Please stand with us to help keep my family stay safe .
You can support my family either by donating or sharing my campaign link to others so that the goal may be reached sooner.
If you can, please reach into your pockets to help Basel Ayyad's family survive Gaza and evacuate. Their daughter is ill and needs to leave Palestine to get medical treatment. This is Basel Ayyad's GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-me-evacuate-my-family-and-rebuild-a-new-start?attribution_id=sl:518aec18-5602-40cc-934d-e7b9ff5bc66c&utm_campaign=man_ss_icons&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link
Their GoFundMe is listed on @/nabulsi and @/al-shab-hussein's spreadsheet of vetted fundraisers. I cannot begin to express my rage and sorrow at what is being done to your family. I am so sorry. My heart is with you.

thinking about the very common idea among antebellum american slaveowners that ex-slaves would initiate a race war as soon as they were free and that whites would never be safe among people they or their ancestors owned so they should be moved to a different country. and how that was completely stupid and the racial violence post-abolition was racist anti-black violence not slews of anti-white revenge killings across the nation and a dissolution of society. anyway thinking about that and also the insistence from the zionist crowd that if palestinians were given equal rights or even if the occupation slackened its grip a little every single israeli from the river to the sea would be murdered by vengeful palestinians.
While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.
Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:
Food, water, and shelter
Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.
Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.
World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.
Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.
Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.
Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.
The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.
Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.
Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.
The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.
Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.
Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.
Medical care
Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.
Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.
Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.
Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

Amidst the ongoing war in Gaza, we find ourselves as a family trapped between walls of fear and despair. I, Mohammed, a father of three children and a husband to a woman in her eighth month of pregnancy, live in an environment filled with threats and risks.

My technology startup, which I built with dedication and hard work, was destroyed during this war, leading to the loss of our livelihood. My children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, no longer have the opportunity for education due to the destruction of schools, posing a significant threat to their future.
- "A souvenir photo of my startup company."-
My wife, Enas, lives in constant anxiety due to her advanced pregnancy and the destruction of hospitals in the area. After losing my job and source of income, I find myself in a severe financial crisis, unable to provide for the needs and safety of my family.
- "Me and my wife Enas majed "
Our family home was destroyed due to the war, forcing us to flee and move multiple times, leaving us homeless. Everything has become difficult now; we cannot provide a safe place to live, nor can we afford clean clothes and food for our children. Additionally, our children have been afflicted with diseases such as measles, and our son Adam has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis.
-" layan & sara & adam in the war" -
Our only hope now is to escape from this ongoing hell and find a safe haven for our family. However, this requires exorbitant financial costs, with the coordination fee for crossing borders amounting to $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, a sum I cannot afford alone.
- "My home before the war "-
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure the safety of our family
Thank you for your attention and support, and we hope you can help us in these difficult circumstances.

The first Palestinian athlete to participate in the Olympic games died on Wednesday at the Nuseirat refugee camp in Gaza as a result of kidney failure due to power outages and medical shortages as a result of the ongoing Israeli war and siege of the enclave.
Majed Abu Maraheel, who passed away at the age of 61, became the first athlete to be the flag bearer and represent Palestinians at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. Being a distance runner, he competed in the 10km race.
Since his breakthrough on the world stage, more than 20 Palestinian men and women have been able to compete at Olympic competitions.
"He was a Palestinian icon, and he will remain as such," his brother told Paltoday TV after the funeral.
"We tried to evacuate him to Egypt but then the Rafah crossing was closed (by Israel), and his condition kept deteriorating."
In his preparation for the Olympics, Abu Maraheel would often be seen on his daily runs from his home in Gaza to the Erez Crossing with Israel, which Israel closed in October after imposing a full blockade on the Strip.
Last month, it was reopened for the first time since then.
He would often have to pass through that crossing for his job as a day labourer in Israel. After participating in the Olympics, Abu Maraheel went on to become a coach for other Palestinian runners hoping to replicate his presence at the international competition.
Abu Maraheel's death highlights the grim fate of many Palestinians who are facing kidney failure in Gaza.
A report from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor in March found that there were between 1,000 to 1,500 patients in Gaza with kidney failure, and that they are facing a "slow death" because of "a lack of medical and therapeutic services, medications and other necessities".
Israel denies blocking humanitarian aid into Gaza, though aid agencies say they are not able to get aid in because of Israeli restrictions.
Eid Mubarak, I love you all, may we witness a free Palestine within our lifetimes inshallah
So you're telling me that in order for Israel to get 4 hostages they had to kill 3 other hostages in the same operation?
Do you need any more evidence that this has literally nothing to do with the hostages and everything to do with a sick political stunt by Netanyahu?
They can continue to pretend this was a "success" but we all know well that all of the hostages would have been freed in October of last year had they agreed to engage in diplomatic negotiations, but Israel refused every offer, as long ago as October 9, because they saw and used the living hostages as a justification for genocide and the dead ones as capital to further justify the annihilation of the Palestinian people. Simple.
250 people murdered.

Reuters continues to easily display the world's perception of the worth of white lives compared to brown lives.
1 white settler's life is worth more than 210 Palestinians.
This is the reality that Western journalism is asking you to accept.
There was only 1 interview done that day. With one zionist settler. But there are hundreds of people that I have spoken to with sick mothers and fathers and children, with injuries, who've survived bombings, who've survived everything this settler survived and more for 8 months. No interviews. No headlines. No spotlights. No one's speaking with them. This media apparatus is always to be questioned and requestioned for the values it puts forth. Do not take it at face value lest you dehumanize all those it wants you to dehumanize. 210 identified dead, no headline interviews with their family members. And certainly not 210 of them spotlighting their individual stories and losses and grief. Do you expect me to accept that for my people?
[ID: Screenshot of a news website's Middle East page with two headlines back to back.
The first headline, from 4:04 PM EDT, reads "Israeli Hostage Noa Argamani freed in time to see her terminally ill mother." /end quote. The thumbnail image is of a young person being embraced tightly by an elder person, the elder kissing them on the cheek, both smiling with relief.
The second headline, from 8:26am EDT, reads "55 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks in Central Gaza, health official says.'' /end quote. The thumbnail image is of an adult cradling a small barefoot injured person in their arms, looking down at their face with an expression of concern. It is not clear to me whether the injured person is a child or how severe their injuries are. Their face has blood and dirt on it but is not clearly visible. They appear to be curled up in pain. A crowd of people stand behind them outside the door to a building.
The two headlines are the same size and font.

We all saw how displaced Palestinians, including children, sheltering inside a school in Gaza were killed execution-style inside the classrooms 6 months ago, and we all saw another group of displaced Palestinians getting struck with Israeli missiles while they took shelter inside another school last night, the same way we saw how Palestinians were killed inside yet another school in Gaza ten years ago in 2014 by the same Zionist entity.
This cycle of violence is only able to continue because of the utter impunity that Israel enjoys. When we call to impose an arms embargo on Israel, we're calling to stop this cycle.
“Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”

HAFRADA / APARTHEID
These five features of apartheid SouthAfrica are echoed in Israeli policies toward Palestinians today: 1. land expropriation, 2. racial classification, 3. mass displacement, 4. violent repression, and 5. token independence.
This series will be exhibited for the first time in London on Nov. 3, in partnership with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK, at their Justice in Palestine conference on ending Israeli apartheid. PSCJusticeConf

The following images provide more information on each point.
Image 2: A side-by-side comparison of Apartheid and Hafrada, covering point 1: Land Expropriation. On the left, there is a diagram of South Africa covered mostly in black, where the black coloring means “No Black Ownership.” On the right, there is a diagram of Israel/Palestine with the southern end and parts of the west covered in black where the coloring means “Israeli ‘state land’ .”
Apartheid. 1913 Natives Land Act. The first of a series of laws that were designed to outlaw Black land ownership and segregate “population groups” by race.
Hafrada. 1950 Absentee Property Law. The first of a series of laws bringing the land of displaced Palestinians under Israeli state control for the benefit of Jewish-only settlement.
Image 3: A side-by-side comparison of Apartheid and Hafrada, covering point 2: Racial Classification. There are photos on both sides of the types of identification each group was forced to carry.
Apartheid. 1952 Pass Laws Act: Required all Black people in South Africa over the age of 16 to carry a “pass book” while in White areas.
Hafrada. 1982 Identity Card Act: Requires all people in Israel, West Bank, and Gaza over the age of 16 to carry an Israeli-issued ID card which can be used to identify their ethnicity.
Image 4: A side-by-side comparison of Apartheid and Hafrada, covering point 3: Mass Displacement. There are photos of ruined homes on each side. The left depicts District Six, Capetown, c. 1974. The right depicts Manishiyya neighbourhood, Jaffa, c. 1948.

Hafrada. 2018 Great March of Return: 42 unarmed Palestinians killed in Gaza in one day during peaceful protests calling for end to Israeli siege and return of refugees.
Image 6: A side-by-side comparison of Apartheid and Hafrada covering segregation.
On the left is an aerial photo of South Africa showing the disparity between Bloubosrand -a White gated community, and Kya Sands -a Black township. Bloubosrand has higher quality living with clearly defined large buildings and greenery, while Kya Sands has much smaller buildings almost resembling ruins from its aerial perspective, and no visible greenery.
On the right is a photo of Israel/Palestine showing a similar disparity between Pisgat Ze'ev East -an illegal Israeli settlement, and Shuafat -a Palestinian refugee camp. The buildings in Pisgat Ze'ev are larger and flanked by trees and other greenery, while the buildings in Shuafat are crammed together and lack greenery.
Apartheid. 1. “Separateness”: the state of being separate, literally “apart-hood.” 2. name used to describe South Africa’s state policy of segregation by race, 1948-1990.

Image 7: A side-by-side comparison of Apartheid and Hafrada, covering point 5: Token Independence. The photo on the left depicts a map of South Africa with a few small areas toward the north and southwest colored in black. The coloring indicates Black “homeland.” The photo on the right depicts a map of Israel/Palestine with a few areas in the center (West Bank) and the Gaza Strip highlighted in black. The coloring indicates Palestinian administered.
Apartheid. 1970-1981 South African Bantustans: Apartheid government defined ten fragmented Black “homelands,” each run by a puppet authority.
Hafrada. 1995-present Palestinian Authority: Palestinian Authority set up in coordination with Israel to govern disconnected fragments of the West Bank and Gaza.

So here’s the thing. Louis de Pointe du Lac is, as I understand it, the OG morally tormented vampire. The whole living on rats thing Angel From Buffy had going on in his backstory was courtesy of Anne Rice. Edward Cullen’s “I am damned, I will not damn another to this forsaken cursed life” as his lover begs him for the gift of immortality is courtesy of Anne Rice. The entire vampire-as-angsty-sympathetic-love-interest genre took its foundational conceits from the vampire chronicles. At the time she wrote those books the genre did not exist. Twilight did not exist. True blood did not exist. So what I want to know is do those things exist in the world of AMC’s Interview With The Vampire (2022). Did Daniel Molloy’s daughters read twilight in high school. Did he watch Buffy.
I do believe the answer is yes because in the period flashbacks humans never say the word vampire. When a human figures out these guys are whackos they say something like “where do you meet the devil and what are the terms?” or “you’re some kind of demon.” But in the modern day Daniel says “why say vampires are real, here’s almost all the story,” and I feel the phrase “vampires are real” implies that fictional vampires are an active and reasonably clearly defined element of the public imagination. Which would mean that instead of Anne Rice publishing Interview with the Vampire in 1976 and the English language media launching its vampire era, what instead happened was somewhere around the 70s or 80s people started to just intuit that this is roughly what vampires are probably like.
