critically stagnant spotlight campaigns for today (3/13.)
all campaigns are vetted by the organizers of gaza funds. this site has been vouched for by palestinian bloggers. for full transparency, a list of campaigns is available to view on their site. additionally, if you look at my list of individual campaigns, you will see that i personally trust these campaigns and have donated to them many times.
raghad's family: 9 days since last donation
campaigns in danger of becoming critically stagnant:
mohammed ahmed: 6 days since last donation
yasmin's family: 5 days since last donation
karem al-kahlout: 5 days since last donation
yahia hawajry: 5 days since last donation
ahmed atallah: 5 days since last donation
nada muhaisen: 5 days since last donation
dr. isam: 4 days since last donation
ghada and abdulrahman: 4 days since last donation
this list comprises the majority of my active gaza funds spotlight campaigns. i am actively spotlighting 15 campaigns. one is critically stagnant, and eight more are in danger of becoming critically stagnant.
individual posts for these campaigns are generally ignored, which is why i've moved to using this pinned post instead. it simply takes me too long to queue up a bunch of posts people will just scroll past. please donāt ignore this, you have the opportunity to throw someone a lifeline and do some real good. even if you donāt have any money, a reblog is free and can help get more eyes on these campaigns. none of them are on tumblr, to my knowledge. nobody sees these campaigns unless people reblog posts about them or make their own posts.
thank you in advance for your consideration.
tags for reach under the cut (you can always let me know if you'd rather not be on this list, or if you want to be added to the list!)
Do you want me to lie to you with fake stories to help me, don't make you a person who is easily lied to by fake stories, I can't do what others do, do I need help? Yes, but I can't create false stories to get donations
Here I put the link of my campaign I want to reach 10k for a long time I ask for help and no one cares this plan B if it doesn't work I will know that I'm not welcome here šāāļø $4768 ā-> 10k
And this is my little brother yaser is hard of hearing and has a cochlear implant. however due to the situation in gaza, he often struggles to keep his cochlear implant charged, and he has also had to discontinue his speech therapy sessions. he is trying to raise funds so that he can continue looking after his health, and currently has $1300 out of a total goal of $10k. you can donate to him on chuffed here.
If you give me daily attention for only one minute, you share with customizing hashtags and sharing with friends and family, you are doing a great job for me.

Aside from banning 37 aid organizations from working in Gaza, Israel has once again closed the crossings into Gaza; even aid workers are not allowed in! Moreover, Israel is still killing and wounding Palestinians in Gaza; at least 618 people have been killed since the ceasefire! Please continue supporting Palestinians in Gaza!
Thank you, my friend, for checking my campaign again. I hope it will be useful and all friends care, but we get progress in helping because I'm tired of asking for help in vain.
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"
Every time you have GenAI make you an anime waifu with three titties and a dumptruck ass a family doesn't get to have a drink or bathe.
Every time you ask Copilot to write you a PowerShell script to stroke your boss' ego, a city experiences a brownout.
Every time you chat with your AI "girlfriend" a farmer doesn't get to water their animals.
Using these tools actively hurts you and your community, while at the same time enriching some shitheel who would happily step on your neck to make an additional dollar. Don't use them. Actively remove them from devices you own. Disable them whenever possible. Go out of your way to avoid them. It's honestly not hard. You've been using the internet just fine without GenAI hallucinating at you.
Perhaps it slips your mind that the crowds you see in this picture are not returning to anything. Our homes and streets no longer exist. Everything has turned into emptiness, rubble upon sand. All that remains are the photos we carry in our memories and a bit of love weāve tucked deep inside our hearts, to nurture our children with, a love for the soil that knows our faces and our souls well.
We are not returning to houses, but to resist all this injustice, to rebuild, to plant, and to light up our homeland anew. We walk tens of kilometers, carried by longing, not by strength.
And now, as we hear news that the crossing between Gaza and Egypt may soon reopen, at first only for the wounded and urgent cases, we hold onto a fragile hope. Until our turn comes, we must prepare. We need support to recover from this war, to gather what little we can for the journey, and to simply survive each day here in Gaza.
It's boring and harsh, and I couldn't bear this life. Even though the war is over, we haven't had any fun, and people are never happy. Tumblr users, can you help ease my suffering? Have you felt the loss of your mother and father? Have you felt the loss of your mind, your hand, or your foot? If you feel something sad or painful, you must contribute by sharing this post and donating to my family, which consists of a huge number of individuals and is in need of good nutrition. I'm not forcing you to donate, but your heart and mind should feel for us and donate anything.
The crossing will open soon, so we cannot leave without providing the appropriate funds for us because our number is large. Donate, even 50 euros, which can help a lot.
I forgot something important that no news channel is talking about. People in Gaza are now sleeping on the graves of those they lost because they miss them so much
Imagine how many children sleep on their mother's graves, calling out to her, and she doesn't respond. How do you feel now? Please donate if you really feel for us.
In honor of Indigenous Peoples' Day, I wanted to share this urgent request for mutual aid for Jen Deerinwater, a powerful community organizer from DC who is Two-Spirit and disabled. I greatly admire Jen's work and activism and am connected to folks working to support them.
Jen is in urgent need to meet their fundraising goals to get the housing and medical care needed to survive the genocide of Turtle Island that has never ended.
Especially if you're white, join me in opening our purses to give to Jen today. I'd love to see if anyone will match my donation of 5 USD:

Help 2 disabled trans women not starve after getting fucked over by their landlord
Hey, so we're completely broke this month after having to pay a surprise $1000 utility bill from our landlord to cover the yearly heating cost for our building, even after he raised our monthly rent last year by $150 to "cover the rising utility costs" supposedly to prevent exactly these kinds of surprise bills. Apparently since we live in an old building without individual meters for heat, our landlord is allowed to average out the total utility costs for the entire building between all tenants, which results in us being fucked over financially every fall having to pay for our neighbors (supposed) combined heat consumption.
I honestly don't know how we're gonna afford to keep living here with the rent raising year on year and being expected to pay for our landlord's neglect and shitty accounting. Our income is already barely enough to live paycheck to paycheck, and with both of us being unemployable for the foreseeable future I don't know how we are gonna avoid being priced out of our own home.
We're trying to figure out how to move as soon as possible, but in the meantime it would be a huge help if anyone would help us afford groceries, necessities and meds until we get paid next month.
We're completely out of food and have been rationing our meals for the last couple of days, trying to stretch the last bit we had frozen down. If anyone could help us afford to pick up groceries for the next week, we would really appreciate it.
I mentioned this to my mother the other day, that i dont think he even did it, and she pulled a "wtf" face and was like "how did you come to that conclusion" so I laid out the various things that don't add up and the glaring procedural fuck ups and the targetted campaign to make everyone think he's guilty.
At one point she goes "ok, but hold on - if he didnt do it then why did he confess?" She was FLOORED when I told her that he hadn't. That he has maintained his innocence since the start.
And this is my mother, who is usually across this kind of thing. She had no idea about the missing bodycam footage that happens to align with the time they took his backpack out of sight before bringing it back and opening it for the """"""first""""" time and finding the supposed evidence inside.
She straight up thought that HE was the one who called himself in. Thought he'd gone to Macca's for a last burger then called the cops on himself and confessed. When she learned that wasnt true, she was SHOCKED.
Keep talking to people about this. Keep reiterating that they havent found him guilty of anything yet, and that they've breached his rights in several different ways since arresting him, and that he and the UHC shooter are almost certainly different people.
Too many people think that he confessed. Too many think that he's guilty, when the odds are good that he VERY MUCH IS NOT.
There are only two days left before the crossing opens. Please, skip your coffee today and donate to save my mother. I love her so much, I canāt lose her.
Guys Iām begging you for the first time please donāt leave me alone help me save my mother and evacuate my family as soon as possible before itās too late please share and speak about us
Kinda disheartening tbh when you search for people talking about something on tumblr and you find only a single post with like 10 notes. Anyway, I learned about this from Facebook just today and decided I'm going to abuse my follower count to spread the word.
You'll have a hard time finding this in the news because it's being covered up, but from February 4-present the RCMP have been conducting raids on multiple Mi'kmaw reserves part of Acadia First Nation. Their excuse is that they are searching for illegal cannabis.
During the raids, so far they:
Stole a number of truck houses
Stole money from an 8-yo boy's piggy-bank that he had been saving for two years
Invaded homes and destroyed personal property, including basketwork and carvings
Broke the door down of a bathroom occupied by a 14-yo boy as he was using it - the boy has been traumatized by this
Assaulted a man for questioning why they were searching his property without providing a warrant, pinning him into the snow
Cut power of security cameras to hide these actions
I cannot stress enough that the RCMP coming down this hard on our people over motherfucking cannabis is nothing but a racist excuse. There are countless, countless, countless white-owned massive grow-ops making big money without cops lifting a single finger.
There is an informal petition you can sign here. EDIT: I've informed the petition owner that there is a field error - hopefully it'll be fixed soon
If you live in or near Halifax: There will be a public protest on the Angus MacDonald Bridge at noon on March 10, 2025.
the thing that really cheeses my cake about flies getting in my house is they clearly don't want to be there anyway. like at least the ants trying to steal cereal from my pantry had a goal and a plan. you are just here because you're too stupid to use a window twice
i hate it when you're heating something up in the microwave and it starts to go snap crackle pop so you take it out but it's still completely cold. shut up then??
