HI

[sayruq]

For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.

For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.

So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

[fridgebride]

this beautiful baby is the son of ibrahim abu raida, the 25 y/o executive director of the al nasser charity in gaza, an organization working to distribute food to the displaced. they have many different ways to donate linked on their instagram (linked above) and also have a personal gfm to help with their own rebuilding efforts that is over 80% of the way to its goal.

Donate to Help Ibrahim and Jamal to safety!, organized by Suze van Workum

it has come to my attention that Aaron Bushnell had recently created a will before self-immolating in which he left his life savings to the PCRF. instead of speculating on his personal life i suggest we all take a page from his book and donate to the PCRF as well. we must not forget that his sacrifice was for Palestine. we can't forget about Palestine when we discuss him.

DONATE TODAY ❤️

Your donation allows PCRF to deliver on its humanitarian mission and send international volunteer medical missions to treat sick and injured

Ghana passes bill making identifying as LGBTQ+ illegal

Lawmakers approve a tough new bill, but rights groups say it threatens basic freedoms.

[robotpussy]

I know people won't care because you all assume every country that isn't in the west is automatically homophobic and/or transphobic, but enshrining this bigotry into law, enabling more institutional and state violence is making my heart weep.

for those who do care, Silent Majority is actively fighting against this bill and I do hope people can support them.

and before white queers get their xenophobia/homonationalism on, you need to know much of the blame lies at the feet of white evangelicals in the US and British colonial rule

In case you lost it - a link to the eSIM donation guide. Even if you feel sick and powerless, you can at least do this. And even if you really, really can't donate, you can always at least share this and remind others.

the lowest tier, which costs 9 dollars, offers a week of connection while the very next, 16 dollars, will provide a full month of contact with the world to someone who desperately needs it. this is not some idle step. an entire month is a huge length of time for people who are displaced, terrified, and isolated.

[stuckinapril]

in light of israel's looming invasion on rafah, south africa implored the icj to call for the protection of palestinians with new preliminary orders. the icj denied this request, insisting that its january orders would be sufficient enough in ensuring the safety of people residing in rafah.

we have all seen how israel responded to the icj verdict earlier this month. they have all but intensified their attacks on palestinians, their favorite of whom seem to be children. this will end in a bloodbath. palestinians, already malnourished and living in literal tents, will be bombarded, they will be shot, they will be slaughtered. and when i say palestinians, a lot of them are actual toddlers. the videos coming out of this are proof enough.

at this point, it has been made amply clear that palestinians will never experience safety in their own homeland. a lot of the families in gaza are trying to raise funds to get out of it, because there's nowhere left to go.

there is nowhere left to go. if these people don't get the funds necessary to escape, they will die.

it's vital that you go to operation olive branch's spreadsheet, choose a family that resonates with you, and donate as much as you can to their gofundme. every last dollar counts. one dollar could be the difference between life and death for a family. please don't fall victim to the bystander effect. your contribution counts, however little it may be. and whether you're able to donate or not, spread this to as many people as you can. each second we stay silent is a second an entire family is brutally massacred.

[stuckinapril]

to put things into perspective--just yesterday it was reported that 112 palestinians were killed, and 157 were left injured. in the last 24 hours. this is quite literally time-sensitive down to the last second. i would not be able to sleep at night knowing i lived through a literal genocide and did absolutely nothing about it.

i've been sick for so long, my cough is terrible and i suspect I have pneumonia with the way everytime i breathe in there's terrible wheezing in my chest. i cant afford to get checked, i know im worse than i can feel

all i care about now are my brothers, 10 and 13 years old. they're still shaken up from losing both our parents and recently our other brother who passed away last month

i have tried to talk to them into giving them up in a shelter to live more comfortably but they are adamant to stay with me by my side, i do not want to lose them either

i still have my cleaning job but i was told that if my cough isn't gone by next week, they'd be forced to let me go as there are already complains from store customers about me and they fear i might be spreading covid. i do not blame them and if i can only afford not to earn money for food and shelter in a day, i would just go myself

every penny we get here are for my brother's food, shelter and medicines specifically my brother ross' asthma medications he needs everyday

we are grateful to everyone who's tried to help us in any way. it is tough to survive out in the streets, my brothers do not deserve this and im disappointed in myself for not providing enough for them. theyre just kids

i do not know what else to do, im sorry to keep asking on here. im just trying my best for my brothers, i want them to have a better life

if you can spare my brothers for their needs, we'll appreciate and be forever grateful. sharing helps us, especially the two of them, to survive

Go to paypal.me/alexmngs and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Surviving under late stage capitalism is hard, especially when you’re out of spoons and you’re lucky if you have a plastic knife. We’re here to help. 

The Sad Bastard Cookbook: Food You Can Make So You Don’t Die is a community-built, vegetarian/vegan guide to getting food in your facehole when you’re suffering from depression. Or other mental illnesses or physical illnesses or *waves hand generally at the state of the world* anything else. 

We’ve made it free on our website because life sucks enough without having to give Jeff Bezos money, but we also do have a paperback copy available for sale over there too, since we also need to eat.

Oi gente. 👋🏻 Vim através desse post pedir ajuda e solidariedade para esse bebê da foto. O nome dele é henri, e ele sofre de uma doença chamada AME. E o remédio que ele necessita custa em torno de 7 milhões de reais. Sei que não tenho muitos seguidores aqui, mas talvez compartilhando esse post, e mostrando bem mais a história dele, talvez apareçam pessoas que queiram ajudar de alguma forma.

Peço que rebloguem como uma forma de ajudar, e fazer isso chegar em mais pessoas. 🏹
