Food stamps may stop in November if the shutdown continues. This may be a good time to look into food banks, kitchens, meal trains, and discount markets and programs for outdated foods if you are depending on SNAP.
There's at least one regional org where we live doing a massive food drive in response, so we'll be participating. I'm openly asking anyone who can help out to do the same for your local communities.
i don't wanna sound hopeless but i feel like so many of you don't care or have stopped caring about palestine.
the news of hospitals being bombed, children being massacred, people dying from the cold, and the famine spreading in gaza does not seem enough to grab attention or make people care.
what new tragedy needs to befall gaza for you to start talking about it? the occupation kills a child every few minutes. people are cold and are starving. refugee camps are being bombed with bombs that can level city blocks.
this all happens because of all of us. we are complicit in this genocide because our governments use the taxes we pay to send weapons to the occupation. weapons that are used to kill children and impose a blockade that is starving 2 million people.
the very fact that we're still going about our days when all of this is going on breaks my heart. especially because we have failed to stop our governments from using our money to arm israel.
i urge you, please be generous and donate to suad and her baby khaled. he is just six months old and suad is unable to find any formula for him. if she finds anything, it is extremely expensive. the baby also needs warm clothes and is suffering from a respiratory problem and needs a nebulizer.
Laila's campaign has been running since March. Seven months without her goal being fulfilled. The past year has been filled with story after story of the atrocities committed in Palestine- the mass murders, the amputations without anesthesia, the children dying of fucking heart attacks. Laila has lived throughout it all. I can't imagine the pain she's been through. She's an incredibly sweet eighteen year-old girl, she should be starting college and beginning her adulthood, not hunkering down in a tent, fearing that every moment might be her last before the Zionist entity drops a bomb on her head. Border crossings are rare these days, but every dollar goes a long way- things still cost money in Palestine, and is desperately needed to help feed and support Laila, her siblings, and her pregnant mother. I don't know what else to say to encourage people to donate- I offer artwork in exchange for donations (examples and other details here) but that's never really mattered for bolstering engagement. End of the day, all that really matters is whether or not people give a shit about even the smallest acts of support for Palestinians. Reblogging a post takes no effort and yet so many people refuse to do it- even if you're too broke to send a fiver their way, spreading campaigns helps get them into the path of people who can. If you have anything to offer, artwork, things to sell, whatever, in exchange for donations, mention it in the reblogs. Earlier this year it seemed like we could get 1K every day- now most days it's unusual to get a hundred.
I don't know what to say to convince people that aren't already invested in some way in the genocide of the Palestinians that will make them care. All I can say is that we, as citizens of the imperial core, are obligated to do whatever we can, even small acts, to help the ones whose slaughter our taxes fund.

We are a family from Gaza, enduring the relentless genocide that has plagued our home for over a year. We have lost everything, stripped of both material possessions and the essence of our lives. Each day is a struggle for survival, as hope fades and despair takes its place. Even a small contribution of $10/20$ can save a life and bring a glimmer of hope to our shattered existence. Please help us share our campaign link as far and wide as possible; your support can make a difference🙏🏻🙏🏻🇵🇸
This is a hard one for me. For a long time I'd say science fiction easily, but romance has grown on me. I'll have to say my orginal love realistic fiction.
And while you're here, please share and donate to be able to help a family with 2 young kids that lost their dad in this genocide. Our short-term is $15,000 to be able to provide for them during the winter

Abood @abood-gaza2 and his pregnant wife NEED you to save them. Proof they are vetted here. It costs ~$8000 to evacuate to Egypt and that number is increasing all the time due to sick people trying to capitalise on misfortune and chaos.
"I studied accounting, graduated with a high average, and worked in a chain of clothing stores that my father owned. But due to the unjust aggression, all our shops were destroyed, and we lost our source of livelihood and work completely. I was displaced from my home more than 10 times, each time trying to find a safe place, but there really is no safety here. Here we live death, fear, and loss at every moment. We love life and we always have ambitions and dreams that we hope to achieve and we are determined to achieve them as well."
Please help this beautiful family who are currently living in tents and facing a harsh and dangerous winter coming up evacuate as soon as they can for the sake of their unborn son as well as their own sakes, and read their story. They're 1/4 of a way to their goal. Get them closer, every little bit counts.
Genocide flattens every discussion. There are no new conversations to be had about the destruction, death and cruelty. After more than a year, there is nothing left to be said about various media houses, corporations and international bodies of law aiding and abetting all that has been happening in Gaza, either. It is the banality of evil, it is colonialism. However even in this atrociously banal circumstance, I do think what still is a continued point of hope for Gazans and what still pushes so many of them to reach out to the world, is the support people around the globe have shown and still continue to show. Which is why I am here on behalf of the Shehab family ( @fahedshehab-new ) and requesting you to help them survive through this winter. This won't take much of your time so please read:
Fahed is currently supporting 13 family members in total- his own family and that of his sister’s.
He has to look after 8 children now, with the youngest being his son Yayha who is barely having anything to eat because the price of baby milk is exorbitantly high in Gaza.
The genocide has taken a toll on Fahed’s daughters. Sahar and Dana spent a whole year under the threat of bombs and right now instead of getting to be teenagers, they ask their father if they will survive. They have even said they don't want to live if they lose someone.
The family right now immediately needs clothes to keep them warm throughout winter. Fahed’s family is from the north and has been displaced several times before they came south. Displacement is dangerous and a silent killer because often essential items are lost and cannot be replaced in time.
Please consider that the weather has already turned colder around the world and that which is only mildly uncomfortable to us, presents a dire situation for Gazans. The families don't have a shelter and there is no way for tents to adequately protect from cold winds and rain. So right now the immediate need is for warm clothes and it can cost upto $400 per person. With THIRTEEN PEOPLE to take care of Fahed immediately needs to raise at least 5k to buy the required apparels. So please boost and donate.
Currently at $66,248. He needs to reach $71,248. Please help however you can.

Please remember that every donation, even if it is 5 dollars, is a ray of hope for the families who have lost everything.
Our first displacement was from our home in the north of gaza to Khan Younis. Since then, we've been forced to move several times, each time narrowly escaping death. Illness and fear have been constant companions. We've lived through incredibly difficult times. During our first displacement, we had no shelter, not even a tent. We slept out in the open under a freezing sky. After the army withdrew from Khan Younis, we returned to our home, only to find it destroyed and uninhabitable. Despite its condition, we had no choice but to live in it.
Now, with winter approaching, the house desperately needs repairs—repairs that are costly. There are no windows, and the walls are riddled with holes from shrapnel and shells. To make matters worse, we have no source of income, and the rising cost of living has made survival even harder.
We’re trying to rebuild our lives, but the challenges seem endless.
