Too Nasty About Characters

What prevents you from sharing our suffering and helping our voices reach others?

What prevents you from donating if you are able to do so?

Is it because you don’t trust me? Or because you think I am a fraud? Or because what we are living through in Gaza has become, for the world, something ordinary that no longer deserves attention?

My family’s fate should not be decided by silence.

I never chose to ask for help or create a fundraising campaign. This was never something I would have accepted for myself. But the war has taken everything from us and left me with the responsibility of caring for my children, leaving me with no other choice.

All I want is a chance to protect my family and give my children the future they deserve. If you are able to help, please do not leave me to face this alone.

lindy hop at a rent party from the all-black film, boy! what a girl! (1947) directed by arthur h. leonard.

rent parties were social events where tenants hired musicians and charged admission as a way to pay their rent. originating in harlem, new york city, it gave black americans a way to have fun, eat a good meal, and escape the hardships and discrimination of the time.

Some recent and recentish additions to my lesbian book library! I used to have far more rare books including The Persistent Desire, but alas my house burned down a little over a year ago so i’m starting my book collection from scratch 😭

I mostly find my books at second hand stores, or on ebay and thrift books, i look often and very religiously because you can sometimes find rare books listed for cheap if you are quick about it. But since I don’t live in the US it can be hard to find certain titles if they’re in USD because the conversion rate is so bad, plus international shipping costs are crazy.

URGENT!! $5,000 NEEDED THIS MONTH TO SAVE A BABY AND HIS FAMILY!!

Chuffed link

Raneen, @a00h2, is my friend. She is trapped in Gaza, Palestine, with her family. She lost everything in the bombings and is now in poverty and homelesness. Her 1-year-old baby has lung cancer; she needs to pay $5,000 more this month to get him out of Gaza, so he can get treatment and have a chance to live.

My friend doesn't have that money. She can't help him alone. Please, I beg you, donate, whatever you can. $40, $20, $10, $5, whatever you can, it will all be useful. Thank you so much.

Her account is vetted by @90-ghost here, by @gazavetters (#576) , and by @bilal-salah0. This Chuffed fundraiser goes directly to her; for transparency, you can dm @a00h2 if you want to confirm it.

PLEASE, HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF MY FRIEND'S BABY!!

$5,000/$10,000

ONLY $5,000 NEEDED!!

Please help Ahmed afford his father's surgery

Medical Treatment for Mazen in Gaza

My name is Darius. I am raising money for Mazen, a Palestinian man from Khan Younis who is currently trapped in Gaza with his wife and six s

$115/760

$645 left

I have heard back from Ahmed about his father's surgery. It has now been postponed to July 13th, giving us 5 more days to raise the remaining $645 to cover the costs of the operation and medicine.

Donations have been incredibly slow. No donations were made on chuffed until about two days before the first deadline we had. Since then, donations have stopped again.

I understand not everyone is able to donate, but I ask that if you have the means, please give what you can. Please do not assume or hope someone will donate instead of you.

If you can't donate, sharing is greatly appreciated. Most of the reblogs on the posts I make for Ahmed are me queuing them to be shared while I am offline. My reach is limited, so I would appreciate anyone who can reblog or even make their own post.

Vetting information can be found here. The doctor's notes about the surgery can be found below the cut. Ahmed sent them to me to share, so I am including them to help with validity as well

Tagging for reach. Please share if you see this. Thank you

We are now on the last day before Ahmed's dad is scheduled for surgery. As much as I'd like to be optimistic, I do not believe we will raise the rest in time. I will have to give Ahmed the devastating news thay he will have to ask the doctors to reschedule the surgery again.

Christopher Nolan almost allows colors into his mythical epic shot on 70mm IMAX film. thank god they stopped filming in time.

Sir the METEOROLOGICAL SYMBOL OF HOPE just invited itself over the Castle where the Hero Finally Comes Home After Way Too Many Trials And Tribulations

And you just.

Said no????

It's free symbolism and you said no because it's a rainbow and it's not gritty enough?????!!!!?

[lifebloodblue]

The goddess Iris herself offered to make an appearance in your Greek mythology movie and you dare deny her??

[tamaha]

Shout out to Project Hail Mary who rushed filming one scene (when Grace was captured) because there was a rainbow in the sky which they wanted to INCLUDE.

[rrdaud]

I'd rather watch a rainbow than another one of Nolan's movies.
