I was checking on someone from Gaza and I asked them "how's the condition of the tent?" a question that really, really stung.
As Palestinians, whether or not we experienced living in tents and refugee camps first hand, tents have been a symbol of our initial displacement in 1948.
Finding myself asking this question to a Palestinian 76 years later really struck me.
Israel is a settler colonial entity, intent on disappearing Palestinians through massacres and displacement to make way for its expansionist project.
The fact that this is a question we are still having to ask is beyond heart-wrenching, but it also tells me that try as they might, we are rooted in this land and Israel's attempts have never deterred us.
Despite how painful this is, the least we can do is actually ensure that these tents are adequate enough to withstand upcoming winter conditions as it approaches.
Siraj is looking to raise funds to secure an adequate living space for his family this winter. He's currently only $842 away from reaching the target and you can donate here.
And for families who aren't fundraising, the Sameer Project team is currently working to provide tents to displaced Palestinians in Gaza. You can donate to them via Chuffed / Venmo / PayPal. Just make sure you leave a note "tent" to specify which project you're donating to.
Trans girls please keep living forever. You never take up too much space You are never too loud You are never exaggerating when you're just talking about the oppression you face. Love as many (/other) trans girls as you can forever and ever and ever

Help Me Evacuate my Family from Gaza and Reunite with them in Ireland
Note: My main account (@mahmoudkhalafff) was unfortunately brought down.
In the midst of the chaos engulfing the region and the receding in media coverage, you might be misled to think the horrific war in Gaz*a has stopped. However, it breaks my heart to tell you that if anything, it only moves from bad to WORSE. Committing massacres against defenseless civilian families and children has become the ordinary instead of the horrific unordinary.
Unfortunately, the massacres and the mass destruction of our beloved Gaz*a have it into a pile of rubble and rendered the dreams and hopes of people as baseless, far-fetched, meaningless, and unrealistic daydreaming.
I was displaced with my big family five times in Gaz*a and escaped imminent death multiple times before I was evacuated to Ireland five months into the war and I can tell you from my firsthand experience that the situation in Gaz*a is beyond hellish. Can you even bear to imagine that Lifeless corpses of so many children are brought out from under the rubble of their bombed houses almost every day?!
I hate to admit that I never imagined I was this weak. I don’t have the courage or strength to bring the corpses of my future children from under the rubble in Gaza one day. I shudder and blood freezes in my veins when I imagine what could happen to my parents, brothers, sisters and their children while I am in a safe place too far away.
Therefore, I have the moral obligation to do everything in my power to secure a NORMAL, safe, and dignified life for them here. Please know exactly what you are contributing to by boosting my campaign. You are helping a Gaza family reunite in Ireland after their lives and dreams have been viciously crushed by the horrific war. And, sadly, the worst is yet to come!
After consulting the Irish Refugee Council and Doras in Ireland and Palestinian families who managed to reunite in Ireland, I know for certain that THERE IS HOPE!
Please do consider helping me save my family by donating, reblogging, and sharing.
