Every night I look into my children's eyes and promise them tomorrow will be better... but I don't know if I can keep that promise. As a parent, nothing hurts more than watching your children suffer while you feel powerless.💔🙏

[aboamro-gaza]

They told you the war was over... they lied. We are still trapped in fear, hunger, and uncertainty every single day. The bombs may be quieter, but our suffering has never ended.😞💔

[aboamro-gaza]

I never thought I would have to beg for help, but today I'm asking for my family and my children. If you can donate or even share our story, you may help us survive one more day.🙏❤️

[aboamro-gaza]

Every day in Gaza is still a struggle.

I am a father of three, trying to protect my family in the middle of a humanitarian crisis that has not ended. We continue to face shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and the basic necessities of life.

If you are able, please consider supporting my family. Every donation, no matter how small, helps us provide food, essential supplies, and hope for our children during these incredibly difficult times.

If you can't donate, sharing this post would mean the world to us.

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and support. ❤️🇵🇸

reject the western gaze!

mutual aid means no hierarchy between givers and receivers

a new mutual aid org, Bridge of Solidarity, has been established in the gaza strip by 17 year old poet yazan mohammed in response to the exploitative practices conducted by some charities and encouraged by the existing charity-based model of fundraising for gaza. according to BoS: "the western attention economy and pity economy plays a large role in who lives or dies in gaza." essentially, people need to make themselves marketable in order to receive lifesaving aid; people who are not marketable die. yazan himself wrote about the damage this can do to one's self image, which you can read here.

after trying for a year to respect his own privacy, my friend siraj was also pressured into posting images of his son's emaciated body in order to gain sympathy from westerners.

we cannot keep forcing people to do this anymore.

here's a declaration of their values from bridge of solidarity's most recent post:

Our organization is against the Western gaze. We refuse to humiliate people. We refuse to force people to take photos. We refuse to force people to take photos with our flyer or logo. People will receive aid freely without being forced to pose. We will respect people's privacy completely. Our principles include autonomy, dignity, sovereignty, mutual respect, and mutual aid.

this org will prioritize giving aid to people without phones or social media, who do not speak english, and who do not have outside support or living parents. these are the people who are not palatable to westerners but who deserve to live with as much dignity as everyone else

as of five days ago, BoS are working on a water truck delivery

"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, being spent on species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.

My brothers lost years of education because of the war in Gaza.

Now they finally have a chance to continue.

If you can’t donate, don’t worry.

Just reblog it.

It costs nothing, but it might reach someone who can actually change everything.

A while ago I had seen a post about Ming Fan bullying Luo Binghe by stomping on a grasshopper he had adopted…and I just really wanted to draw Binghe with his pet grasshopper before it was squished.
