Urgent Appeal We in Gaza are facing genocide and famine. It is horrific, and we need your help for our family. This donation is a beacon of hope, our only lifeline in the abyss of despair. With a heavy heart, I ask for your generosity as we go through this inexplicable ordeal. Your contribution could mean the difference between survival and oblivion for my family, and for that, we are eternally gratefulI was shot by an explosive bullet that penetrated my left hand and I need a transplant operation as soon as possible. The infants and family are suffering from malnutrition and anemia due to lack of food and clean water and they need to buy a tent to replace their destroyed home.

My campaigns have been documented by appsa @90-ghoset & @ibtisams

“mohammed and Amir and Malak is not just a number, he is a human being dreaming of a better future.”“Your donation is a spark of new hope for mohammed and his family.”“Every donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference.”

Thank you for your constant kindness and compassion in our darkest hours.

Thank you, our children will be safe and never forgotten. Thank you..🍉💔🙏#youer

IMPORTANT POST!!!

Hello, I am from (Rafah) in the refugee camp. I have left my parents at home, my younger siblings have been relying on me for their education, due to the family being economically poor, I took the responsibility of going to do domestic work. in 2017 in the (Gaza) Strip. In the family I was working for, everything was destroyed after riots broke out, the house was bombed, and unexpected deaths occurred frequently. And that's when we ran to Rafah. I am facing the challenge of leaving there (Rafah) because my mother is sick, she has 3C colon cancer, and my father has type 2 diabetes. I am their biggest support, the cost of leaving (Rafah) is $5000 and those it's too much money, I can't afford it right now. Please, I am at your feet, I am asking for your help so I can get home. Thank you🙏 DONATE AND SHARE

My goal $4725/$5000

A note: I know annoying Desis are going to see this and go "Oh but Kashmir is Pakistan's because-" and "Kashmir is an integral part of India because-". I must make my stance clear: Kashmir belongs to the Kashmiris, the natives, no matter what religion they belong to. Neither Pakistan nor India get to decide the matter of Kashmiri sovereignty. The reasons given by both parties as to why Kashmir should be a part of either nation are hogwash. The United Nations itself recognises Kashmir as a disputed region, so I will not entertain bullshit. I highly encourage fellow Indians especially to take the time to go through and properly understand the violence the government enacts on Kashmiris. I've also included links to learn more about Kashmiri culture because really, what do the rest of us know about it? Culturally and linguistically Kashmir differs so much from the rest of India and Pakistan (also the amount of fetishization of Kashmiri women...yikes). This is not just a bilateral issue between these two nations over land, this actually affects the people of Kashmir. And if you're still here, thank you for reading

every time i see women commenting shit like "whyyy did women have to fight for our right to education i have to do homework now 🙄" i think of these little girls, i think of my grandmas with 6th grade education that wanted nothing more than to continue their academic path, of little girls in my own country that can't go to school due to sexist parents and politics and it makes me see red

[emmaharwoods]

i didn’t know about rick riordan or the pjo cast. i definitely think it’s good to spread awareness about that but using language like clout chasing isn’t very productive and might only discourage people from sharing about palestine

rick riordan posted a since-edited blog post about how there are "two sides" to the genocide being committed in palestine

dior goodjohn (who plays clarisse) posted about how "israel" is under attack and ignored people who tried to educate her about palestine

jessica parker kennedy (who plays medusa) is married to ronen rubenstein, an israeli zionist

what would you call people who post gifsets so that they can get notes on tumblr dot com while ignoring that the free promotion they're doing for disney will put money into the pockets of zionists and fund israeli genocide? clout chaser is frankly one of the tamest phrases i can use and i can spread awareness about palestine while still calling out people for being disingenuous in their support when they refuse to do the bare minimum

[mixmangosmangoverse]

If you ever needed to know the extent of how the I/P conflict is fandomized, there is a popular post going around with a Sailor moon sticker saying Free Palestine and all the comments are talking about how it's their aesthetic and they totally need to buy it

Because this doesn't matter to them, it's just the cool hip and trendy thing

[xclowniex]

Speaking of it being fandomized, I have literally seen fan aesthetic blogs not do anything to help support Palestine. All they will do is include "free palestine" in some cute font to fit their aesthetic in their pinned post which is mainly just an about the blog post.

Like the time and energy put in to that could have been put into something more conducive like signing a petition for their government to do something to encourage a ceasefire.

I have also seen a blog post where someone headcannoned a canonically Mizrahi jew character as Palestinian.

[penrosesun]

Here are some places that folks can donate to which actually support Palestinians:

https://support.anera.org/a/palestine-emergency

https://act.actionaidusa.org/a/gaza-crisis-web

https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/our-response-israel-gaza-war

https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ilot

https://www.mecaforpeace.org/

This empty fandomification and comodification of real crises affecting real people is gross, y'all. I'm sure all of your Black friends remember when you bought BLM merch and lawn signs and the like and then completely failed to meaningfully show up. I'm sure all of your Palestinian friends will remember if you do the same now. If you have any of either, that is – which, given who tends to rush to "support" these causes with these sorts of truly incredibly empty gestures, I suppose is not all that likely. Do better.

all my followers have a very nice rest of the year but especially my girls who need accommodations to have sex. women who don’t like penetration. butches who prefer not to dom. non-binary people or trans girls who aren’t out yet. anyone who isn’t out yet. people who need to keep their clothes on during sex for any reason. hardcore sluts too embarrassed to actually act slutty. untouched sluts whose experience is all secondhand. people with mental health issues, long term or seasonal. people still processing their trauma who might break down crying during sex. anyone who knows aftercare is IMPORTANT! they/them pronouns. he/him sapphics. boydyke girlfags.

you are not broken! in case you needed to hear it!

[fluoresensitive-deactivated2024]

Idk I just feel like your average middle class (yt) person is way too comfortable. The suffering of others should destroy you. All this bloodshed, all this sorrow is done in YOUR name, to protect the interest of the poor, innocent white person so you can be as cozy as possible. Journalists lie for you, laborers die for your fruit and electronics. The very phone you hold would not exist without child labor. At this moment, the US is choosing to support genocide to uphold white supremacy for YOU. The guilt should eat you. You should feel miserable and disgusted, and after you're done feeling miserable, transfer those emotions into doing something the people of color your existence effects. You have the privilege of turning away; don't do it.

[girlfictions]

palestine is in a complete and utter blackout with israel launching hundreds of its heaviest airstrikes so far across gaza. this is a mass slaughter and we won't even know the extent of the casualties until it's over; israel have cut off telecommunications so they can commit their atrocities in the dark. there is a genocide happening right in front of our eyes and every person who has ever defended israel's "right to defend itself" has the blood of palestinians on their hands. we cannot ignore what is one of the most devastating massacres in human history.

sometimes i forget how reading is just. marvelous. just an absolutely fucking endlessly joyful activity. i’ll go about my life and not read one single book for months and be like why am i morose! why am i so apathetic! what is missing here!!!! and try to look for whatever it is that is lacking and never find it anywhere and i get so tired and sad and angry, and then i’m finally like i’m gonna stop everything for a couple days and read a really good book bc i don’t care about anything else. and suddenly i get motivated to work bc i know i’ll read when i’m on break. i get more creative. i want to watercolor again and bust out the shameful fabric stash with all my unfinished sewing projects. god even my dreams get more vivid!! what the fuck! and i’m like here is the magic i was looking for, why did i ever think i was going to find it anywhere else. it was always here!!!

[ninacarstairss]

now that i know what the original ending was supposed to be, i’m so happy cassie changed it. this ending might be a little too happy and unrealistic but honestly, after all the pain in the tsc universe, i love that she spared us the detailed death of basically everyone in tlh and the pain of james being in his death bed and thinking about his long lost friends
