(longer masterpost of all ways you can help)

updated 3/6/2024 with Gaza Wound Care & We Feed Gaza. I wanted to focus on Palestinian-run grassroots initiatives that will actually reach Gazans on the ground, so all of these except Crips for eSIMs, PCRF, PRCS and MAP are by Palestinians. i have verified them but please feel free to do your own vets for your peace of mind.

Remember small donations really do add up. Any amount counts, even $1!

i hate how easy it is for everyone else. i am not sad about being trans instead of cis but i am sad about the fact that being trans affects my life in every possible way. i lose friendships and flirts the moment they learn about it, i am less likely to be taken seriously by teachers or job givers, i am constantly afraid of something happening to me amplified each time we learn one of our own getting murdered or imprisoned, i have to spend thousands of dollars on meds and surgeries just to feel at home in my own body… i just want to have the same opportunities as my “healthier” peers but it’s like the universe wants me dead and if i don’t do it myself somebody else will do it for me

So for y'all who don't know, Everclear is some serious shit. Your typical hard alcohol is gonna range from 30-50% alcohol by volume. Your vodkas, rums, and gins will sit around the 30-40% range with whiskey and bourbon being closer to the 50% mark. Everclear? Everclear is at a minimum 60%, the good news is that bottle is thankfully the minimum 60%. (You can tell by it being 120 proof, to get percentage you just halve the proof.) Everclear is grain alcohol and not flavoured, so it's pure; unadulterated alcohol taste in that bottle. And, the amount she poured in to that tin based on ratio basically turned the concoction in to citrus flavored paint thinner. Everclear is the stuff you like, get to spike a big punch bowl of something, not usually something you use in a cocktail.

I love the clarification because I know nothing about alcohol!

[tiger-lily-warren]

Everclear used to come with a warning on the bottle to make sure you store it in a cool place, refrigerated if possible, because if stored above a certain temperature it can spontaneously combust.
