Two on-the-ground Palestinian-led initiatives in Gaza I donate to frequently:

Gaza Soup Kitchen, founded by brothers Hani and Mahmoud Almadhoun (linked is the Gaza Soup Kitchen's gfm).

Sameer Project, another grassroots initiative helping to get much-needed food, supplies, etc. Founded by three Palestinians in the diaspora. (linked is the linktree which contains their IG and their various Chuffed campaigns)

Cheff JJ on ig

Copy-pasted directly from his reel:

ingredients: - 2 cups of flour - 4 cups of water + 1 cup ( for the pasta) - 4 small red onions - 1 cup of brown whole lentils - 1/2 tsp cumin powder - 1/2 tsp coriander powder salt and pepper - 4-5 tbsp olive oil - half a lemon - sumac - fresh coriander

start by mixing 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of water.

knead the dough very well and let it rest while preparing the rest of the meal.

finely dice 3 onions and fry in olive oil, add a cup of washed brown lentils.

season with cumin powder, coriander powder, salt and pepper add 4 cups of water and let it simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes.

flour the counter top and roll the dough as thin as you prefer your pasta to be.

roll the dough on itself and cut it into thin strips. flour the pasta and add it to the pan. cook it for about 5 minutes

slice an onion and fry it in olive oil till it starts to brown and char, you want the char flavor.

reserve some for garnish and add the oil and onion to the pan and mix. serve in a plate, garnish with the onions, lemon, fresh coriander sumac and enjoy

a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently

god israel's destruction of tyre is like especially depressing tbh like thats one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. people have lived there since the bronze age. there is so, so so much history and world heritage there that's being blown up and destroyed forever because its existence doesn't fit israel's nationalist vision of history.

[ringthembells]

lots to say about israel's politicized and propagandized use of history and archaeology to further their narrative tbh. here's a good article about it.

'It comes with the territory': How Israel's archaeologists legitimize annexation

Weaponizing antiquities is part of Israel's colonial legacy, says Rafi Greenberg, whose colleagues have largely remained silent about Gaza's

mohammed's wife farah has been shot.

two days ago there was a bombing near al shifa hospital which resulted in @moxayesh 's wife farah getting hurt as well. as of now the doctors have not removed the bullet from her chest.

she is five months pregnant. i don't think i need to emphasize how terrifying this must be for her and for mohammed. they're newly weds who are expecting their first child; they should be celebrating, preparing for this wonderful new addition to their little family, and instead this is what has happened.

mohammed has done so much work as part of @gaza-evacuation-funds so that other families like his can raise the funds needed for their survival. he has not asked for anything in return but now he needs that help and support as well. just transportation to the hospital costs him and farah $70; public transport is not an option due to how much walking she would have to do while pregnant and injured.

mohammed has always been there for others who have needed him. let's not leave him alone in his time of need. please donate whatever you can spare so that we can do our part in easing his troubles. thank you.

I love imagining cardcaptor au meng yao in cute clothes....he deserves stuff on the level sakura's canonical costumes were at

[cqlfeels]

@lansplaining encouraged me to finish this random meta nobody asked for, so let’s talk about Meng Yao, Meng Shi, and 孟母三遷 (mèng mǔ sān qiān), a proverb about good parenting.

A warning: this is super long (even for me!) and is less quality meta and more my ADHD brain jumping around a maze of loosely related ideas. Proceed with caution!

everybody: you’ve got to advocate for yourself in medical settings!

medical professionals when a patient advocates for themselves in a medical setting (x100 if that patient is a part of any minority): damn. you’re a hypochondriac crazy bitch who has every mental illness and is seeking every narcotic in existence. that’s the only reason you’d be disappointed in the care you’re receiving here. in retaliation, we will be even less helpful and less sympathetic. our jobs are hard. people are dying. we don’t have time to deal with anyone who is slightly inconvenient for us.

just found out that there is a sudanfunds website! like gazafunds, it is a compilation of funds for people facing genocide

edit: i've added the correct link to this version of the post. if at all possible, please try to reblog this version or direct back to it. for some reason, the original sudanfunds link i put is now defunct. the correct site is still called sudanfunds and is now back up, and that's what is now on this version of the post. hope this makes sense
