I don't see people talking about this so today is the 110th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, in where the factory owners locked working women and girls inside to "eliminate the risk of theft" (in reality it was too keep them from taking breaks), which resulted in the gruesome deaths of 123 mostly immigrant women and girls and 23 men, many of whom jumped to their deaths from the ninth floor either in a panicked attempt to escape or in order to die quickly. There were reports that some of the workers were on fire already as they jumped.
The eighth floor of the building was able to telephone the tenth floor to warn them about the fire, but the factory on the ninth floor where these women and girls labored had no such communication and such warning.
The factory owners were criminally charged with manslaughter for actions that contributed to the mass deaths but acquitted. However, this tragedy led to mass sympathy to the labor movement, and unions spurred on safety regulations that passed in New York state and eventually the entire country, and activists were able to reduce child labor in the process.
This tragedy is a reminder that has been forgotten in the 110 years since: every safety regulation-- every scrap of paperwork contributing to the hundreds of pages of red tape people like to complain about--every word of it was written in the blood of a laborer.
They were discouraged from breaks because they were actively trying to unionize, and bosses felt that keeping them from unsupervised contact would prevent them from joining the garment workers' union.
This is why unions are important. This is why today, right now, the biggest companies in America are trying to squash unionization of their laborers and why those workers are fighting so hard to unionize.
@tikkunolamorgtfo did a great write-up a few years ago about the aftermath of the Triangle Shirtwaist fire, and I highly recommend reading it (and anything else you can about the fire). It is painfully relevant still and it's incredibly important women's, Jewish, immigrants', and workers' history.
I am writing to you with a heart crushed by endless tears, from a hospital bed where fear and pain surround me. Every moment feels heavier than the last, and I am desperate for help to save myself and my children
My name is Suhaila, a mother of four children.
I am writing these words from inside the hospital, with a heart full of fear and pain.
My health is very critical. My iron level is 6,
and my little daughter Miral’s iron level is 5.
I urgently need donations to buy the medicine and save our lives
My husband is injured and unable to work. We have no income and no protection.
Our family lives in a torn tent, exposed to cold, hunger, and fear every day.
My health is very critical. My iron level is 6,
and my little daughter Miral’s iron level is 5.
She is so weak… her small body is fading, and I cannot afford the medicine or the food she needs to survive.
Right now, my daughter and I are in the hospital, waiting helplessly.
My other children are alone in the tent, hungry and scared.
We are not asking for luxury.
We are asking for treatment to stay alive
and food so my children do not die.
Please, do not let my children lose their mother,
and do not let me lose my daughter in front of my eyes.
Help us. Save us. We are slowly dying. 😭💔🙏

The doctors told me my child urgently needs treatment costing €400, but we've only raised €30 so far. Every moment counts Please help us before it's too late. My child has a life worth a chance at.
I am Manar, 33 years old, from Gaza 🇵🇸, a mother of four. We live in harsh conditions, facing a very difficult life in tents. My children are deprived of warmth, and my infant daughter is deprived of a beautiful life and the comfort of a home. We live in tents amidst the rubble and streets. Despite all my efforts to secure the most basic necessities, I have reached a point where I can no longer provide anything to protect them from the cold and pain. 💔
My little girl needs milk and diapers every day, and I stand helpless before her cries. My children go to bed hungry most days, and the situation worsens and becomes more dangerous day by day. There is no shelter, no life, no food, no milk, and no basic necessities.
I am writing to you today for my children... for their innocence, which is threatened by hunger. 🤲💔 Any help, no matter how small, would be a lifeline. Please help me for my children. 💔💔🙏
Our home in northern Gaza was destroyed by airstrikes 💔. We ran under fire 🔥, leaving everything behind. Since then, we’ve been displaced seven times — from the north to Khan Younis, to Rafah, to Deir al-Balah, back to tents ⛺ in the north, again to the south, and now in western Gaza.
My name is Rami, I’m 20 years old, and I’m from Gaza City.
Each place we go, we carry only fear 😔, exhaustion 😞, and the hope of survival 🙏. We sleep in tents, with no electricity ⚡, no clean water 🚱, no safety 🚫. We wake up to more uncertainty every day.
We lost our home, our stability, and the life we once knew 💔. But we haven’t lost our will to live 💪.
We just want to be safe 🕊️. We want to live with dignity 🏠. We want the world to know what we’re going through 🌍.
Please Replog Or Donate For My Family and my cat 🐈💔🙏
I am reham, his condition, and all the families of Gaza are very difficult, they do not have the necessities of life, no medicine, no food, no health, no education, nothing but death and destruction I appeal to everyone who sees my campaign to stand by my family, Whether by donating or sharing the story with your friends to raise an amount that will help my family get out of Gaza safely 💔🍉
I am a nurse at Nasser and Al-Khair Hospital in Khan Yunis I also used to work for Dentist K But at the present time, I have lost my job, which was a source of income for me and my family in the past, and now all I will have left is the donation link that I made in order to help my family, about thousands.But it takes time I hope to achieve the goal of my campaign.
I also want to do charitable work and spread the first aid course to children and women because we really need that urgently at the present time because of this war and genocide that we are exposed to.I lost my brother because of this war, and I really miss him. The loss is painful.
My mother is sick and needs treatment, and my little brother, whose name is Ali, suffered from jaundice due to the food contamination to which we were exposed. Your donation, I use it for my family and provide them with healthy food.
I have been afflicted with a great emptiness and depression because of his distance from me. I hope you pray for him too, may God have mercy on him. 💔🥺🙏
It's a heavy burden for a 24-year-old girl to bear the responsibility for my family of six. Can you imagine the amount of pain I'm putting myself through?
I deserve to live in peace. Do something for me please donate 🙏🏻
Title: Love, Resilience, and a Mission to Feed the Forgotten 🕊️🍲
Riham & Hamouda: Building Love from the Rubble
We are Riham and Hamouda. Our love story survived four years of siege and two years of painful separation caused by the war. We lost everything we worked for: our future home was destroyed, and Hamouda’s small restaurant—his only source of income—was reduced to ashes.
But we refuse to let our story end in the rubble.
We are starting over, not just to build a life for ourselves, but to serve those who have been left behind. Our dream is to launch "The Hope Kitchen," a project with two hearts:
✅ A New Beginning: Rebuilding Hamouda’s career as a chef to provide us with a dignified livelihood and a roof over our heads.
✅ Feeding the Forgotten: A dedicated charity initiative to prepare and deliver hot meals to displaced families in remote, neglected areas that aid organizations haven't reached yet.
Your support won't just help a couple reunite; it will ignite a flame of hope that will feed hundreds of hungry souls in the most marginalized corners of Gaza.
Help us turn our pain into a purpose. Every helping hand brings us closer to home and brings a meal to someone in need. 🤍

This is so cute Someone has donated to me and received the Order of the First Donor Thank you very much wherever you are I hope you see this. I send you greetings from the heart of Gaza. I love you so much.
I'm in a very happy event, especially after someone else donated to me. I am experiencing psychological stress, which has led to anorexia to food and severe illness. I am in a critical condition. I am suffering badly. I hope you donate to me. I hope
Guys,why no one is donating since the creation of this post has not come to two donations,why is that why you are ignoring us,stop playing,stop reading,and pay attention,please donate.
Please guys donate to me and share this post It was very cold yesterday Which made me sick so much. And the disease is decimating my body, and all of that is not paying attention to what's going on here. Please donate please
You guys feel like something's gonna happen, Daddy. He suffers from a victim crisis during these difficult times and also sudden high blood pressure, unfortunately. Please donate to me if we can please.
Please, please share this post and donate. Please, my dear friend. I need your help a lot. Please, we are now suffering from severe hunger and shelling that comes intermittently. Please donate and share this post. You're my only hope.
I am Kholoud from Gaza. I no longer have a home, nor do I have any security. The war destroyed my home, and I now live in a dilapidated tent, but that's not the real pain. The real pain is that I am a mother who sees my children suffering every day without being able to do anything to save them. My children suffer from a rare skin disease (ichthyosis psoriasis), a cruel disease that causes their skin to crack, bleed, and burn with pain. They can't sleep, they can't play, they can't live like other children.
Their tiny bodies can't bear it anymore, and all I can do is hug them and try to hide my tears. $500 every three days, that's the price I need to ease his pain... but it's a sum I don't have, and I don't even have enough to feed them. I hope you donate the amount, or half of it, or whatever you can.
As a mother, I appeal to your merciful heart: Please, don't leave me alone in this agony. Your small help could be the difference between them continuing to live or succumbing to the pain. My children deserve life, they deserve a childhood without suffering... and you could be their lifeline.

It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you to share with you the urgent plight of my children, in Gaza. My family faces unimagi
Hello, I'm Ahmed, 23 years old. I was studying computer science at the Islamic University in Gaza before the war. I aspired to build a brigh
Hello friends, I'm Ahmed from Gaza. The war is over now, but our pain and suffering haven't. I studied computer science at the Islamic University of Gaza. During the war, I lost everything: my home, my job, my car, and my tablet. I'm now homeless and without shelter. Despite all that, I tried my best to finish my university studies during the war and take my exams under difficult circumstances, under bombardment. Now I'm about to finish. I need your help to complete my studies abroad and cover the travel expenses. Therefore, I need your support and assistance to achieve my dreams and ambitions. If you can't donate, you can share this post and talk about me and my dreams.
sumn I've been thinking about is how people on the tumblr recognize the whole rise in conservatism/fascism thing but they think it's like squarely a 4chan (debatable because this site has always been racist but y'all love it for some reason)/Facebook/tiktok thing. Like it's affected every population including you babe. I know Tumblr has been lauded as the SJW website for a awhile but y'all need to be continuously critical of the stuff you engage with and the things that you say. Making sure you're not backsliding into right wing rhetoric and the like is a continuous task and we all gotta put in the work.
Like not being funny at all I think this is why you have so many people on here directly or indirectly trying to have a radical acceptance type thing so no we've got people on here now with twisted backwards logic that pedophilia and incest is actually queer and not knowing that that is word for word bar for bar homophobic and transphobic propaganda that anti-LGBT politicians and the like have been spouting for decades whilst also failing to recognize that pedophilia and incest are not just 'problematic' kinks or paraphilias or whatever else you wanna call it and not recognize that both of those things are by products patriarchal white supremacy.
Hello everyone, I'm writing to you with an urgent update regarding the situation of our family, the Inas family. We are living in very difficult conditions, especially with the onset of winter. Our current residence is not equipped to withstand the cold and rain, leaving our family members – particularly the children – vulnerable to health risks💔.
Our family urgently needs:🚨
Suitable blankets to protect us from the rain and cold.
Winter clothing for the children and all family members.
Blankets to keep us warm during the cold days.
I am Enas, and I have eight children. I don't know how to describe to you the feelings of war, the pain, the suffering, and the destruction
Please, whoever can offer assistance, don't hesitate. We are going through a very difficult time, and even a small amount of help could make a huge difference in our lives🙏😭.
May God reward you all🫂.

From Gaza to Ireland: Survived but Nightmares Make me Wish to Die
Before I open my heart to you guys, please check out the vetting/verifications posts below.
1. @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi # 151 on the spreadsheet of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List
2. @riding-with-the-wild-hunt HERE.
3. My latest blog titled "Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza" shared widely HERE
The short video will give you a quick glimpse of my story: 1. A young university lecturer in Gaza
2. Then displaced with my family and losing our house
3. Then traveled to Ireland to study and try to support and evacuate my family.
Every night I sleep in Ireland while my family sleeps under bombardment face starvation, fear and the cold of winter in tents.
People sleep to rest.
I sleep to see nightmares.
Every night feels like a horror movie I must live, not watch.
I wake up tired, shaken, and broken by the images my mind creates.
I had an amazing stable life with my family in Gaza before the war turned our world upside down.
I was a young, ambitious lecturer at the Islamic University of Gaza, teaching English and linguistics. I loved to motivate and empower my students so they can reach their full potential.
When the war broke out, I was displacement with my family multiple times in places I did not know existed in the Gaza Strip. Sometimes we literally ran for our lives under heavy bombardment and learned what a near-death experience actually meant.
Five months into the war, my Irish university managed to get me out of Gaza. Ever since I evacuated and left my entire family in Gaza (parents, siblings, nephews, nieces), I woke up every day so tired from horrible horrible horrible nightmares, wishing to end my life.
But then I remember:
If I give up, who will help my family survive?
Who will help me get them out when the crossing opens again?
I saw the constant bombardment every day live in the news, and my family was dispersed in different places in the Gaza Strip, running for their lives, struggling to survive.
The misery and suffering continue until today after we lost our house and the cold of winter if freezing them all, especially my elderly parents and young nephews and nieces.
HOWEVER...
Hard times do not only create strong people; they also reveal the goodness and humanity in others.
And Gaza needs the world’s goodness now more than ever.
My family lost their home.
They now live in tents, shivering in the cold.
Rainwater enters every time it rains.
They have no electricity, no clean water, no cooking gas, and no safety.
Survival itself has become a battle.
I have been dedicating all my efforts to helping my family survive in the current situation in Gaza and apply for reunification visas with the support of my college and friends here in Ireland.
Every single member of my family counts the seconds until the day we all reunify in Ireland and live a safe, normal life like we have been dreaming for more than two years
This can only be possible with your kindness, support and humanity.
Please consider donating if you can, share our story, reblog our post, and amplify our voice. You have no idea how much you can help in getting my family out of the living hell of Gaza to safety.
When the world becomes numb to Palestinian suffering, please choose not to turn away.
Please 'follow' me to stay updated!
Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.
Mahmoud
People say: "Family always comes First," and to that, I say: "Amen!".… Mahmoud Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza;

I beg you to write something for her on your pages, hoping that someone among your friends might be able to help.
Please share this with your audience and donate whatever you can.
