While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

Here are the 2024 vaccine recommendation schedules. They’ve already been wiped from the cdc site. Save them and share widely, especially to your friends with kids.

I have hit a wall. Yet again. Something is not right. I don't know what it is.

I know I have changed and I don't know why. Could just say it's getting older. Could just say it's psychological. Could just say that I need more foreplay.

In reality, I just don't want to be here anymore. I want to be left the fuck alone.

Been thinking heavily about my youth. This year felt like summer lasted forever. Likely the last year that I had any semblance of childhood. I was 15, had already been homeless. Went days without eating. Had nothing to do except walk around, explore a then decaying city, go to raves in abandoned buildings, punk shows in basements, and do all the nasty gritty things that degenerate teenagers do. Something still seemed innocent about those times. Having crushes, awkwardly navigating situations, saying crewed and embarrassing things.

I spent so long thinking about the bad things that happened to us as teenagers. There wasn't much fun that was actually had but at the same time I remember moments that I wished didn't end. They were simple. Laying in the grass in the setting sun. platonically cuddling in a mattress on the floor lucky enough to find a place with a window unit. kissing and holding hands. I remember when I walked three hours to your house and I hadn't eaten in a few days. All you had was frozen tilapia but we cooked it up and it was the most amazing thing I had eaten in my life at that time. Nothing fancy at all. I don't even remember if it had seasoning. We ate it straight out of the pan because there was no plates. We were both just a couple of teenage girls trying so hard to find our way. You had dreams of living in a nice house with a white picket fence and being a house wife. All I wanted to do was travel and see everything. Both of those things are still true to some degree. I guess we never really stopped merely trying to survive.

Today I saw some pictures of a life of a friend who is now gone. I always asked myself what happened? How did she get to that point. I use to think that everyone around her loved her so much. Maybe that was somewhat true. There are things I know and understand now that I didn't when she died. The day she died someone else became dead to me slowly over time.

I didn't know all the ways someone could die. Sometimes you discover things so awful about someone you thought you were so close with. We all knew he wasn't perfect. We had no idea just what kind of monster he was. The secrets he kept would occasionally bubble to the surface. Our lives were so crazy and odd that it seemed passable. It didn't seem like such a big deal because all of us were making terrible decisions and horrible mistakes. Somethings we would realize are not so forgivable. Knowing what I know now.. I didn't know how what to do with the information I had been given. Do I confront him? Do I quietly stop talking to him? Do I cut him off suddenly and swiftly? I had so many dreams where I was there again. On adventures. At his house. Sitting in the quiet noise. Smoke in the air, clutter everywhere, idea's and situations circling my mind. Simply just existing and taking up space together. These dreams always stick in my mind of a time where childhood existed somewhere. We could talk about anything. We did talk about everything. No where to go. Nothing to do. No one to see. We would just be.

We were constantly running away. We wanted freedom. We all had something inside of us that we couldn't attain. I'm glad you and I survived. Now we have these memories that we constantly sift through in our minds. Things we wished could have been. Things that will never exist. Dead friends. Monsters that live among us. Each other. Sometimes I wish we could go back knowing what we know now. Would things be different? I know we're not supposed to drift on the what could have been, but this season makes me remember. We would spend all summer outside, to come in during this season where we would all be together. Those things don't happen as much anymore. Holidays and celebrations. They don't happen anymore. We do things to make us happy but they often don't create memories like those days.

I miss you all everyday. All the time. We were fearless, without hope, ready to die, and lived everyday as it were our last.

why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.

uncertain

The future is uncertain to a point that I do not know what will happen. No idea. when things go belly up, what do you do?

[lentigomaligna]

It's okay to have complicated feelings. It's okay to feel crazy. Heartbreak is important and is necessary. Having a trauma response is not weakness it is physiological. Having psychotic thoughts are equally necessary and physiological. Feeling disgust over it all is human. Stepping out and looking in, you realise that it shouldn't have taken up so much mental space to begin with. There are so many more important things and so many other things need you. Need you to ve present, need you to be here now.

Rewatched "Good Will Hunting" today. Kind of fucking hate that most of the guys I date think they're Will Hunting. This natural genius that is just in the rough. Baby, you wish you could be Tom. The guy the asshole professor now ignores for this shit ass dude. Now humble yourself and go fetch us a coffee.
