We don't even know anymore. Khaled, my little one, has started pronouncing the word "bombing," and it terrifies me.
I’m not here to beg or list every detail—because even an entire newspaper wouldn’t be enough. The images on TV screens and the stories you see online already tell you so much about what we endure. But no matter how much you see, you’ll never truly feel what we feel. And I wouldn’t wish this life on anyone.
We are victims of conflicts we never chose. We love life—deeply, desperately—as long as we’re allowed to live it. We don’t want war, we don’t want destruction. All we want is a future. A future for ourselves, for our children—a future like every other human being deserves.
How You Can Help
In this moment of despair, I reach out to you—not just as a stranger, but as a fellow human being. Our humanity connects us, and compassion knows no boundaries. Your kindness, no matter how small, can bring a glimmer of hope to our lives, shattered by war.
Here’s what we’re trying to rebuild:
💔 $5,000 for the father.
💔 $5,000 for the mother.
💔 $2,500 for Khaled.
💔 $2,500 for Intesar.
The rest will go toward essential living expenses—because there’s no safety net here, no hospitals, no medicine, no healthy food.
Our baby has been sick countless times, and every evacuation has only made things worse. We need help to survive, to heal, and to dream of a better tomorrow.
Hello all, my name is Jess Rapoza from the USA. I am raising money on behalf … Jess Rapoza needs your support for Please Save Khaled and Nan
Even a Little Means Everything
We appreciate your help, even if it’s just a small donation or simply sharing our story. Every bit of support matters. Together, we can rebuild what’s been taken from us and find hope amidst the rubble.
Hey. HEY. Pause the election doomscrolling for a moment and look at me. We're gonna be okay. I'm still gonna be right here on tumblr tomorrow, reblogging my silly little posts, and you'll see them and you'll smile. Nothing is decided yet, these things take time and there is still hope, and however things turn out this is not the end, okay? An idealogy relying on hate wants you to be disheartened and give up, and I know it's hard but we won't give them that satisfaction. None of us individually can hold that line of resilience; that's a community task, and when all else fails that's what we have. Queer people have been in this world as long as people in general have, and we're not. fucking. going anywhere.
I can see this resonated with a lot of people. So hey guys. It's morning and we know now. It sucks a lot. Now is a time to sit with that, let yourself feel it, notice how your body feels in the moment and let the despair and pain and fear pass through you. Be gentle with yourself. Try and drink some water and eat if you can; just one is good too. Crying can be super dehydrating.
I'm using the we will be okay tag on my blog for resources and comfort, and if you need it my ask box and dms are open. I'm gonna make an effort to take breaks from doomscrolling today, so if you don't see me super active that's to be expected, but I'll still be checking my ask box throughout the day for those that need it. Building community matters right now, and you are not alone. We are not alone. We will be okay, even if we have to fight tooth and nail for it. <3
With Trump looking on track to win, I just want to give some hope for people right now.
The Senate is Republican, but two years in the future a third of the Senate will be reelected, meaning Trump has at most 2 years to work with an agreeable Senate
Whether or not Trump goes through with project 2025 or not, this will most definitely be our last term with him
If he doesn't do what he promised, his voter base will get mad they didn't get what they voted for
If he does do what he promised, his voter base will get mad when they realise tariffs=higher costs and when their taxes don't decrease
People WILL protest in their states and nationally and either a) Trump listens or b) Trump ignores it and people become more disillusioned with him
There is no way Trump will do something that can't be reversible or managed by the later President
If Trump supporters do become disillusioned, we could see a blue midterm
1/2 of Congress is needed to pass a bill
Just take a breath. It isn't going to be great, but we can and will survive.
hello, if you would like to make an impact, consider donating to alaa [ @alaakh99 ]. she is a mother of two and is raising money to evacuate her family from gaza. she has been displaced many times and has been affected by hepatitis.
I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my parents, two sons, and four daughters (two of them suffer from allergies).
Dear Humanity,
I'm Haya from Gaza , from a family of 8 people: my… Ahmed Alshawish needs your support for Emergency: Help Evacuate My Fa
I've witnessed the evidence of the tragedy that has struck our lives in Gaza, where my family and I have survived amidst numerous previous wars. But today, we face the most dangerous and fierce battle in the current war. The urgent need intensifies for us, as we have nothing left and are unable to secure our basic needs such as food, water, and safe shelter.
Here is our story - On October 7th, our lives changed forever, my family and I evacuated from northern Gaza to southern Gaza, hoping to return soon, but it wasn't meant to be. Our home was surrounded, burned, and then completely destroyed, Our home, once a fortress of hope, now lay in ruins, a stark reminder of our shattered dreams.
The night before we left from the north to the south was terrifying. Shelling sounds were everywhere, making a loud noise that felt like it went through our souls. Every explosions shook the ground like earthquakes, sending shockwaves of fear through our trembling bodies. filling us with fear. The air smelled of destruction and blood, making it hard to breathe. When dawn came, we saw the devastation around us, realizing our home was now a symbol of loss and despair.
We ran into the streets and with each step we took into the unknown streets, we felt as if we were plunging deeper into the abyss of our shattered existence, leaving behind everything we own in our home: Clothes, important official documents, the car, and literally it's almost everything - the enormity of our loss weighed heavily upon us.
Our home it was where we found hope, safety, and made precious memories. Losing it felt like losing years of our lives, leaving us adrift amidst the wreckage of our shattered existence.
A brief video depicting the devastation that struck our home and our entire neighborhood in Gaza.
Desperate Plea: Escaping Gaza's Allergy Nightmare
I, Haya, suffer from severe allergy to penicillin-derived medications, and my sister, Amal, also suffers from severe allergies to medications from my family such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
These allergies create a deep sense of fear and anxiety for us, as we live in a constant state of tension and fear of anything that may require a visit to the hospital. We fear being given inappropriate medications due to the unavailability of suitable treatments in Gaza because of war or lack of awareness and not informing the doctor of our allergies, which could lead to serious consequences threatening our lives.
MY Father Income
Our dreams are heading towards oblivion in the labyrinth of an uncertain future
My story, along with my siblings, represents a united team of four individuals, three of whom are skilled programmers and one graphic designer. We work as freelancers in the world of freelancing.
As for my younger sister, she is a student studying at the College of Architecture. She has always carried a big dream in her heart, a dream of being part of changing Gaza, of making it more beautiful and better. She looked forward to the day when she would receive her degree and start building this dream. But the beginning of the war changed everything. The destruction of infrastructure and universities cast shadows of despair over her dreams.
When I think of my brother in Belgium, I can't help but feel deep sadness. He has been suffering from unbearable anxiety and insomnia since the outbreak of the war. Sleep eludes him at night, and his physical and mental health collapses under the weight of these heavy burdens, negatively affecting his performance at work. Problems and challenges pile up in front of him without the slightest opportunity for rest.
We all feel psychological pressure and extreme anxiety. The war hasn't been limited to external attacks but has deeply infiltrated our daily lives. We search among the rubble for a little safety and the basic resources for survival. Every day comes with a new challenge that we must overcome.
As we sway amidst the rubble of shattered dreams, our souls wrestle and our hearts beat strongly challenging the ravages of war.
Our parents earnestly seek a way to rescue us from this hell, feeling the heavy responsibility for every moment we spend under the shadows of fear and destruction. They dream of a safe place where they can build for us a better future, filled with security and hope, for we deserve life in all its meanings of comfort and peace.
Perhaps this fundraising campaign represents a light in the midst of darkness, it is indeed the only hope we cling to firmly.
I appeal to the world as a whole to hear my cry and the mournful cry of my family in Gaza. We need the helping hand that reaches out to wipe our tears and build a bridge to safety.
Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow. Be part of our hopeful story, for we need your hand to start anew.
The purpose of the fundraising campaign
The goal of this fundraising campaign is to rescue my family - my parents, my siblings, and me - through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt, which currently requires $5000 per person. This campaign is our only chance to stay alive, and I humbly request your assistance at this critical time. I will provide you with a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses, committing to transparency and clarity.

you know what, i think today is a beautiful day. it’s 8:45am. it’s cool and rainy outside. i’ve spent my morning so far drinking coffee, playing with my dog and writing music. have i been the most productive i can be? absolutely not. but my soul feels happy and warm. and i think that’s a splendid thing. it’s good to take things slow sometimes.
here’s the solo for You’re Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring that i just learned. idrk i’m just posting this for funsies. my phones recording capabilities are trash but i hope y’all enjoy.
guys please romanticize your life. go on solo dates, study in coffee shops, buy yourself flowers, wake up at 5 am to do a workout, cook yourself some dinner. it will bring you happiness i promise. not for people to see, just for yourself
you know i think i’ve come to the conclusion that the answer to “but what if a cis woman is traumatized by men/male presenting people/whatever?” irt safe spaces is this: if you can’t be in the same room with someone you assume to be male or a man without feeling triggered, it probably means you have a lot more solo therapy and healing to do before relying on group therapy or other communal healing.
because how do you decide who gets to stay and who gets kicked out based on a cis woman’s trauma response? is it based on appearance? should intersex women with facial hair not be allowed because beards are triggering? should butches and studs not be allowed because masculinity is triggering? should talk broad shouldered trans women who don’t want to voice train not be allowed because low voices are triggering? is it based on identity? should a pre transition trans man who came out two days ago not be allowed because he’s a man? is a nonbinary person with a full beard and deep voice allowed because they are not a man?
because if you base your entire set of rules for who’s not allowed in the safe space on what makes cis women uncomfortable or triggers them, you’ve just made that space unsafe for trans people. and you need to decide if you’re ready to own that.
The thing about the bad faith focus on "but what about cis women who find men traumatizing and don't want them in their safe spaces" as an argument is that it frames trans people as the sole instigators of an otherwise non-existent conflict: as though, if we didn't exist, then there'd be no issue in the first place. When actually, the insistence on female-only spaces has real, tangible consequences beyond trans people: namely, to pick the most pressing example, the question of what happens to the sons of women fleeing domestic violence - because many women's shelters don't accept teenage boys. And this is a real and very heartbreaking consequence of the rigid insistence on female-only spaces: that mothers seeking safety with their children - many of whom are also victims of violence - cannot assume that their sons will be as welcome as their daughters.
Though many shelters have rules around teenage occupants regardless of gender, others have gender-specific age caps: no boys over the age of 12, say, or 14, or 16. And shelters, as we all know, are frequently overcrowded; sometimes, you're lucky to find a space at all. Imagine you are a mother of two, a 13yo son and an 11yo daughter, fleeing a spouse who has been violent to all three of you, and the only shelter available is one with a strict no men policy. Having mustered up the courage to leave at all, you are now confronted with a terrible choice: unless you turn around and go home, your only options are to either abandon your son to the care of the abusive parent or to have him put into the foster system. Or perhaps the shelter's age cap for boys is set at 14 - meaning, you have until your son's next birthday to get back on your feet, even if that's only weeks away, and the whole time, he will know that his gender, and his gender alone, is the reason for the deadline.
This is, objectively, appalling - and yet it is precisely where the fixation on women only spaces lands us. So while it's absolutely correct to point out that triggers and trauma around the presence of men are very much the responsibility of individuals to manage, it's also important to acknowledge that the issue doesn't only exist because of trans people; that there would still be real questions to answer even if we weren't in the picture, because binary gender exclusion is a shit policy.
went on a walk with my dog this morning. beautiful weather. saw some tiny friends (wild bunnies) and also big friends (coyotes and deer). 10/10 i highly enjoyed. i think i spend too much time moping inside and not enough time being out in the gorgeous area that i live in. going outdoors is so wonderful.
There are only 15 Palestinians competing in the Olympics this year because "israel" murdered 342 professional Palestinian athletes in the past 10 months...
NO TIME LEFT TO SAVE A CANCER PATIENT AND A PREGNANT WOMAN IN KHAN YUNIS
I've been speaking with Laila @lailashaqoura and have been trying to bolster support for her family's fundraisers. I'm making a new post because the last has been falling off in terms of engagement and donations. The first fundraiser is for Laila's immediate family, and the second is for her extended family, who were being represented by her cousin Tala on tumblr until tumblr banned her account. Both of these fundraisers have been verified by multiple Palestinian tumblr users. I've become deeply worried for Laila and her family after the attacks on supposed "safe zones" in Khan Yunis, and haven't heard from her since. Please, I've seen engagement with both these campaigns and Palestinian fundraisers in general fall off lately, but we can't lose hope. If you have anything to spare at all, if you were going to go on a coffee run tomorrow, please donate it to help these families escape genocide. Even if you absolutely can't donate, please share these fundraisers as far as you can to help them reach their goals. I'm setting 30k as a short-term goal for Laila's campaign and 15k for Tala's, which it has been struggling to meet for weeks. Please, this family needs your help. Laila's mother is pregnant and Tala's mother has cancer, and even the healthiest members of their family are still suffering from malnutrition and deep mental trauma from the constant threat to their lives. Please, do what you can, donate and spread these posts. I am offering artwork in exchange for donations to laila and her family, examples down below the cut- as are @mimibayra , @theflowerpaw, @worthyofmygrace, @soapfriendotake2, and @rebecca-levin-art. If that incentivizes you any, give what you can to help this family escape genocide.

Laila's campaign received less than a hundred dollars yesterday, and Tala's campaign didn't receive any donations at all. Please, this family needs as much help as possible to escape genocide, keep sharing these posts and donating whatever you can.

Tala's campaign hasn't received anything in three days. We can't give up on these campaigns, they're the lifelines of families trying to leave Palestine. If you have any amount of money to donate, even a dollar, please do. If you have less than a dollar, send it to my c-shapp $palentonga and I will send the combined change, as gofundme doesn't accept less than one unit of any given currency. Please, keep donating and spreading these posts.

This is the fifth day running where Tala's campaign has recieved nothing. Please, if you have anything at all to donate, even a dollar, donate it to a family escaping genocide. Every day, the situation in Gaza, in Khan Younis, grows worse, and I fear every day for Laila and Tala and their families. Please don't stop sharing and donating to the fundraisers you see, they are the lifeline for the Palestinians escaping genocide.

These fundraisers have been stagnating heavily lately, Laila only made €135 yesterday while Tala's fundraiser received only five euros. Don't stop sharing these posts and donating what you can, I haven't heard from Laila in a while and I am very worried for her and her family, as they are all in ill health, and her mother and aunt are especially at risk due to being pregnant and having cancer respectively.
