I'm making another post to bring attention to a fundraiser that has been extremely slow in receiving donations, and has very very few donations. As of me writing this post, they have not received a donation in 5 days.
Jamal could also use some help in anybody else willing to adopt his fundraiser: that is, to make posts bringing attention to his fundraiser every so often and remain in contact with him, his blog is @jamal-aldahdouh. He only has a couple people helping him and regularly doing this. If not, I ask that people please give attention to this fundraiser and reblog it whenever you see it, and maybe even tag others in the post.
A Young Man from Gaza Dreams of Life – Help Me Survive
My name is Ja… jamal aldahdouh needs your support for Help jamal and his famil
thinking about how many people hate doing chores like laundry ironing etc (for themselves! unfairly being expected to take care of everyone else's things is something completely different) and how in attempts to fix the resulting issues (piles of gross stuff etc) it's just framed as another thing to feel bad about not doing, which is not very encouraging under any circumstances -- but if the reason why things keep piling up is something like depression or adhd will make it about 10x as hard, because you likely already feel bad about yourself. And now looking at the piles comes with a lecture about getting your shit together and being an adult at the back of your head.
It's just not effective. It's the wrong reason. You shouldn't be cleaning because you're afraid of being shamed or because you feel guilty. That might work once every few months in a burst of manic chore energy but that's no way to live. The reason why I don't find these things exhausting to do is because it's just things I do to make myself comfortable, and it feels that way. When I'm ironing my clothes I look forward to wearing clean cozy warm clothes. I'm also daydreaming about 20 other things because I do have adhd and I'm maybe listening to an audiobook, but the emotion associated with doing my own laundry is something like ...contentment because I get to decide how exactly I want my clothes to smell and feel. It's largely just a positive emotion. I think the trick is getting yourself to be happy you get to make future you happy. That's a sustainable motivation you don't need shame or guilt for.
Also sometimes it's easy to underestimate how much a "small" sensory issue is making things hard. I hate touching dirty laundry, especially things like wet dishrags. I realised this was what made me want to avoid doing that specific bag of laundry and got some gloves. Now it's fine because I don't have to touch any wet and questionable textures. A lot of these accomodations might feel like overkill + you might not notice how much they bother you/contribute to putting things off until you pay attention and do something about it. If you think the scent bothers you a lot wearing a mask to empty the bin might help remove revulsion re: emptying the bin and so make that easier to motivate yourself into doing just wear one. Yeah it is overkill and not needed. But you don't want to accumulate trash inside because the smell would make you uncomfortable. If the goal is to avoid discomfort you should also eliminate the discomfort of the chore itself insofar possible! If your hands hurt easily from scrubbing things clean see if you can find a more effective cleaning agent or a cheap electric brush. If the sound of the vacuum bothers you even just a little put on headphones. There is no need to make this into some kind of guiltstriken spartan ordeal or only prevent discomfort if it's absolutely necessary for the task.
Chores are going to be a part of your days probably your entire life. It can be a comfortable experience associated with feeling cared for by yourself, feeling in control of how you live, a moment of quiet simple tasks and no deadlines. It doesn't have to feel bad. And if you fail at keeping up you aren't lazy or bad. You're just probably making yourself uncomfortable, but that's not a sin. And you can always change what you do to accomodate your needs.
Like, next time you do the task, observe yourself. Notice where you feel uncomfortable or frustrated. Ask yourself what it is that makes you not want to do it. Address that if you can!
Can people understand that’s i’m like them I don’t get donations and not the one who make people donate…
Sometimes I feel I’m going crazy because of what’s happening and overthinking stressing about my brother and my responsibilities
Every time i say i want to stop sharing and helping i go back and a lot of scammers even people of gaza some of them are scamming and do more than one campaign.
I’m sorry for anyone I didn’t respond to and shared i have been doing that for one year
I’m not good at speaking and speak out how i feel and what i think.
Tumblr is a family for me .. I still need your help for my brother because isarel weaponized hunger against the people of gaza you need fortune to buy some food like canned food if you found it and there’s no flour.
Go to paypal.me/bushrabo and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
I don’t know what to do more to make brother can buy food (canned food and flour) thats what available now to eat in high prices if my brother wants to get it free he must risk his life by going to checkpoints where isarles soldiers shot people like they are playing call of duty
My brother needs at least 100$ per day because he’s paying 45% fee
I hope if you see this post help my brother by donating any amount you can if you can’t at least share and tell people about my brother and gaza 🫶🏼✌🏼
Please consider helping this Sudanese family! 13 family members rely on it since they are surviving a 2 year-long gencoide in Sudan. The country is going through the worst famine, and there is a cholera breakout!
Donate and share. They have been fundraising for a year, but donations have been painfully slow. It is the point where they have decided to lower the goal of 20K to 10K! There is $4,032 USD left to go! You can match me! I have given $5 USD, but you're more than welcome to give any amount!

Imagine being carlos the scientist and trying to tune into the local community radio and theres this guy youve never spoken to just talking about how hot you are
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
This is Juneteenth.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
I’m making this post on the behalf of Sami and his family. Fundraiser here.
Sami says:
"A simple picture, yet it holds a powerful meaning. Tell me what did you understand, and what will you do? 'I understood that these children are in urgent need of donations, and I will donate. I will also share this post—it might help in some way. This image is full of sorrowful meaning, and I will do everything I can for these innocent children. I will donate so that they can go to school, eat clean food, and sleep in peace.' This is exactly what is happening right now with me and my family in the heart of Gaza. Please, donate—share—speak up. Don’t stop. We are between life and death. Don’t leave us behind."
Please do anything you can to help, any engagement is appreciated even if you cannot directly give to the campaign. Thank you so much <3.
There's a Black YouTuber and musician I really like, called JuneJissle, and recently he put out a skit for Juneteenth for Nickelodeon! To celebrate that, I'm bringing him here.
(This is for all the "rap sounds the same 🙄" people! I'm giving you an easy chance to educate yourself here, to avoid being That Stupid Racist the next time the conversation comes up!)
For his "In Different Hoods" skits, what he does is sample existing songs from different genres, into rap instrumentals from different localities. You can tell a New York beat from a Jersey beat from an LA beat! And even within these cities, different neighborhoods can have different sounds and artists! Even artists from the same place in separate eras can create different music!
It's an incredibly clever way to showcase the power (and his skill!!) of the Sample™, but also the vast range of sounds within the overall genre of rap- because no, it doesn't all sound the same if you show respect listening to it (and know who is from where)! I'd suggest listening to some of his skits, and he also does make his own music!
cats acting like they despise you when you go to pet them for emotional comfort and then acting like you have to pet them Right Now or they’ll Die when you’re focusing on something 😭
As you all know I'm a good friend of Mohammad Ayesh ( @moayeshblog ) and I've seen him work tireless to help others at the expense of helping himself and his own interests. From his work with @gaza-evacuation-funds and @ihyaafoundation. And I'd like to advocate for his own fundraiser right now.
The living situation in Gaza is catastrophic and he is no exception. He is still a very young man but he's shouldering the huge responsibility of his family, by going out every single day to find what little food is even available in Gaza to provide for his family. Only 1 kilo of flour is 30 dollars. That's just enough to make around 12 small loaves of bread. And this needs to feed 8 people for a whole day. And that's just a small glimpse of the daily life that Mohammad is living with his whole family.
Mohammad posts regular updates on his blog @moayeshblog so please follow him there where he is posting updates. And most importantly, please check out his fundraiser. He is relying on donations to provide for his whole family and those donations are very very slow at the moment.
Hi my name is Shelley and I am fundraising on behalf of the Ayesh family. Here is their story
My … Shelley Gordon needs your support for
Thank you, my friend Nabulsi, for this glimpse. I hope that attention will be drawn to my campaign well because it gets a severe slowdown in the crowd of donations in exchange for the life we live. I want everyone to see this post or donate if he can and participate if he can't donate. Thank you all.

please check his blog @wolf-aid for vetting proof!! thank you and much love from me, ibrahim, and his family again and again
Do you remember that little girl? I'm sure you've seen her picture before, but you didn't know her story or what she was suffering from because you hadn't read before.
This is my little girl Ronza, she was born in the war and she is now one year old and her birthday was two weeks ago. She didn't celebrate it either. Ronza suffers from malnutrition and she appealed before.
Today, we had her blood tested, and the result was heartbreaking: 🔴 Hemoglobin level: 7.3 🥺
This is extremely low and means she is suffering from severe anemia that threatens her life.
Under normal conditions, this could be treated.
But here in Gaza…
There is no adequate food
No proper medicine
No functional hospitals
No safety and no means to provide her with basic care
Ronza is suffering from extreme weakness, pale skin, and lack of energy, and she is in urgent need of medical treatment and proper nutrition — simply to survive.
As a heartbroken father watching his child wither in his arms, I beg for your help.
Please stand with us. Help us save Ronza before it’s too late.
Every donation, every share, every kind word… could bring her back to life.
📌Save Ronza… Her childhood shouldn’t be full of pain 💔
Unfortunately, the internet has been cut off in Gaza for two days now. I will not be able to send you the post to share. I hope you share the post if you see it, and I appreciate it.
Ronza is the precious little sister of Zina, an 11 year old child who is working tirelessly to help get her family away from these horrors.
What luxury can you give up this week to help this family? Please find your human compassion and support a minimum of $5, $10, $20 to help.
If you don’t have any luxuries to give up for this family, please reblog with words of support to boost visibility and remind them that they’re not alone and not forgotten.
happy juneteenth and pride month 🏳️⚧️💖 if you would like to be of aid to a black trans bisexual who’s still drowning a bit in medical debt from the past couple years, i would be so grateful. any amount helps fr 🤎
happy juneteenth but dont forget that prisoners are legally allowed to be subject to slave labor and also black people are disproportionately arrested and subjected to that legality. happy juneteenth but slavery still lives in america. america is still dependant on slave labor.
