reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

[queerstudiesnatural]

here are a few gofundme links that still need a lot of help

Ahmed Iyd and family (£706/£150,000)

Ola Madi (€1,273/€40,000)

Hussein Shamiya, his pregnant wife, and their 4 year old son ($12,163/$40,000)

Al Maghari family (£1,933/£74,000)

Haya and family (€3,573/€60,000)

Dr. Wael Eldahdouh's family (€3,652/€110,000)

Dr. Mohammed Alshaer and family (€3,662/€18,000)

Laila Abd El Bari, her husband, and unborn baby Sham (€3,314/€25,000)

Maram Ahmed and family (€3,255/€30,000)

7-year old diabetic Feryal, and family (€673/€30,000)

9-year-old Sarah and little brother Adam (€2,460/€22,500)

If everyone who reblogs this post donates $5 (which I now know is the minimum you can donate on gofundme) to at least one of these, think about how fast we can help them all reach their respective goals

[queerstudiesnatural]

Since I made this post less than 24 hours ago we've collectively raised over $2000, and a lot of those donations were in the amount of $5-10. Keep sharing and keep donating. There is strength in numbers, and if those in power won't help we still have to do what we can. Small numbers add up. Thank you all for doing what you can. It does make a difference.

this is a travesty for survivors and victims of domestic violence everywhere. I hope not a single person on his legal team ever knows peace again

[peterdyckmancampbell]

so now women legally cannot even mention having been victims of domestic violence or sexual assault without it being defamation. I hope y’all demons fucking die in the most painful way imaginable.

you can have pictures but it’s not enough you can have corroborating witnesses but it isn’t enough you can have texts where he fantasizes about murdering and raping you but it isn’t enough you can have him admitting he was controlling and angry and violent but it isn’t enough. this is going to get people killed

I have them too, sometimes. Bad intentions.   

We can put words on this. We’re grown ups, it won’t disappear, I’m not afraid of it.

I think the public response to the d*** case is a perfect illustration of what many feminists have been saying for a long time: abuse is primarily a matter of power, not education. there have been so many efforts post-MeToo centered around education–if only men knew what they were doing was wrong they’d stop and if only society knew what abuse looks like we would stop victim blaming women–and now all those teachings are being weaponized against “imperfect” victims.

don’t you know laughing can be a defense mechanism? it doesn’t mean he’s not scared and of course a victim will turn to drugs and alcohol, if you think that makes him violent, you just don’t respect people with addictions and survivors often can’t remember things properly so it makes sense that his testimonies contradict each other.

it’s honestly so discouraging because it seems like years of activism has just served as a case study for men to come up with better PR strategies whenever they’re outed as abusers.
