help ahmed feed children in gaza!

today i'm making a post on behalf of ahmed from gaza.

ahmed is living in a refugee camp of 200-250 people, and has been working to everyone in the camp, including children and the elderly. you can see his work in distributing food in the video above! he is vetted by association through @its2shimaa, the person i have been raising funds for. you can see proof of donation to shimaa on my blog under the tags #shimaa and #update.

you can also contact ahmed directly with any questions you have. just DM me and i will give you his contact information.

currently, ahmed's goals are to distribute rice and meat around the camp.

rice is $20 per kilogram (1kg = 2.2 pounds)

meat is $50 per kilogram

if ahmed raises extra money, he would also like to buy juice and distribute it to the children to make them happy

your every donation makes a big difference!

ahmed's current goal is to raise $800 to distribute a meal to the whole camp. however, even if we don't reach this goal, any money successfully raised can still feed someone. your money can buy rice and meat for someone in gaza TODAY!

goal: $800

donate via p@yp4l: paypal.me/qquwq

(or via my P/P email: [email protected])

remember, if you send a donation, you can also get a commission from me! you can check my art tag for examples of my work.

how it works:

per ahmed's request, i am collecting money on his behalf. i will use the same method to transfer money to him as i have been using to support shimaa. the money that is collected in p@yp/l will be sent via wire transfer to ahmed. it takes approximately 3-5 days to arrive.

once the money has arrived, ahmed will take videos and photos to document the process of buying and cooking food for everyone. i will share these videos and photos with everyone on my blog.

in order to protect privacy and preserve the feelings of the displaced, ahmed refrains from publishing photos on social media. therefore, if you have any other specific requests you want to see as proof of donation, please DM me or contact ahmed directly so he can give you this proof in private.

last of all, if you have any questions or doubts, please feel free to reach out.

thank you to everyone with generous hearts! your support truly makes every difference!

african migrant workers are being abandoned by rich lebanese families who have evacuated the genocide. some employers have denied them access to their passports and forced them to stay in their houses in lebanon. when these workers escape to shelters they are kicked out. some of those workers have died in the israeli bombings.

the anti-racism movement (arm) is fundraising to help support migrant workers during this time.

please take a moment and spare some money for any of the fundraisers on this list! new and under-funded campaigns need the momentum just as much as bigger ones. each entry on the list is lives worth saving.

How many of those “escape human traffickers” TikTok’s are made by people who have four foster kids for the tax breaks do you think

[transhuman-priestess]

This isn’t a shitpost. This is a real phenomenon that happens a lot. People adopt foster kids because it gets government money and then neglect the fuck out of them, or hire them out to friends as slave labor. It’s all done above-board as “community service”.

The reality of violence is that it’s boring and systemic. It’s not getting kidnapped by cartel dudes in the parking lot at Aldi to be taken to Tijuana as a forced brothel worker. It’s upstanding Christian parents adopting children whose real families were ground up and processed by the penal system or whose parents were deemed unfit due to mental illness.

The people shouting loudest about human trafficking are usually the ones most responsible for it.

[transhuman-priestess]

There’s a pattern with reactionary rhetoric similar to projection but much more intentional, where the actions of the “us” group are rhetorically transplanted to the “other” group for the express purpose of justifying violence against the other.

“The gays are trying to convert our precious children to their sick ideology” says the right, as they tear into textbooks and create entire media networks to indoctrinate their children and the children of others.

“We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud over an American city” says the largest nuclear power in the world, the only nation to ever use such cruel bombs against another in warfare.

“They’re coming here to take your jobs,” says the xenophobe running for congress as NAFTA enters its third decade of devastating the agricultural industry of Mexico and Central America by flooding them with cheap, US-Gov’t subsidized corn.

Every accusation is a confession.

[transhuman-priestess]

Why is it only my depressing political posts that blow up.

[auto-anne]

[headspace-hotel]

A LOT of human trafficking is for agriculture.

USA agricultural industry runs on human trafficking.

Farmer family friend was telling me about how he was researching how supermarket tomatoes could be so cheap because he was selling them for 3x the price and barely breaking even—essentially it's impossible for agriculture to exist as it does without human trafficking

We got on this topic because i offhandedly mentioned something about greens being a huge vector of food borne illness and he was like "It's because they don't give the workers bathrooms."

For advertising: Firefox now collects user data by default

Firefox presents itself as the first choice for data protection. But the new version collects data for advertisers by default. Normal or a b

[regalvoid]

As someone that has over a decade of Technology work experience I second what @mey-rin-is-fabulous said.

It is great to raise the alarm bell if a service changes things in what appears to be a negative way, but in this instance the change is harmless.

I read through the Learn Mores for each option, let me summarize them for yall

Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla: Collects data that is useful in developing future updates such as average number of tabs, how long you have a Firefox Window open, what version of Firefox you're on, what OS you're running and any technical issues. The only "personal" information that is collected is your IP Address but that only during the data transfer and is not kept on file

Allow Firefox to make personalized extension recommendations: Just collects how many and which Add-On's/Extensions you have on Firefox so they can recommend more

All Firefox to install and run studies: Puts you in the OK for doing Beta tests or slow roll out of features. Like when Tumblr updates with a new thing but only a couple people have it at first. Having that little "study" pocket helps make sure updates and stuff won't break everything for everyone when pushed to all users. Your personal info never gets touched.

Allow Firefox to send backlogged crash reports on your behalf: If your browser ever just crashes the "dump file", URL of the page you were on at the time, and a bunch of lil technical details get sent out.

and finally Website Advertising Preferences: basically a middle ground between full privacy and advertisers chomping at the bit to see who sees their ads. Firefox marks down that the Ad was actually seen, and if it was clicked on, then it takes the data it yoinked from you and mushes it up with a bunch of other data so the advertisers can see that they are indeed advertising. The hope is that this is satiate the advertisers enough that they stop trying to erode privacy further.

All-in-all, you can totally uncheck all of these if you want, but Mozilla hasn't "fallen to the dark side", the data they are getting cannot be used to identify you and is mostly for maintaining and improving Firefox.

Hope this helps clear up any confusion : )

seeing this damn post go around without the clarification bothers me

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

Indeed.

Reblogging for the clarification and nuance.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN BANGLADESH?

Students of college, universities and even high schools in Bangladesh have taken to the streets in a mass movement named the "Bangla Blockade" demanding the eradication of the quota system. The quota system reserves a massive percentage of the government jobs for specific groups of people. These jobs are earned by sitting for the Bangladesh Civil Service exams.

Effectively, only 46% of the jobs are left to be contested by merit.

The biggest quota sectors are NOT for the disabled, or indigenous people or for women.

THIRTY PERCENT of the jobs are reserved for children and grandchildren of registered freedom fighters.

The police and political wings are using violence on the protesters. Images of armed men beating up women with sticks and rods are going viral. Spread the word. We need more people talking about this.

Link to an Instagram post with information that you can share.

[leviraaaaaa]

Hello. I am from Bangladesh. I feel that its my responsibility to share this and talk about this. As I can't go to the protest directly, this is the least I can do. We (Bangladeshi) students are currently peacefully protesting against quota ,but "Student League", a political organization of the government heinously and brutally ambushed us. So far, nearly five hundred people were injured and many were killed in the attack. Girls have been raped. Several students are still missing. Specially, the situation in Dhaka university is terrifying. Students are scared for their lives and carrying rocks and sticks and whatever else they can find to defend themselves. Armless, defenseless students have been shot at. And their only crime was protesting. Now we need you very much because the journalists of our country are on the side of the Government. They have no news on this issue. They are not promoting about this issue. Seeking freedom and equality has now become a crime for us. Please talk about this if you can. I do not want to see one more death on the news.

What’s behind Bangladesh’s violent quota protests?

Students demanding reforms in the quota system say they have come under attack from the government and its allies.

pauly likens was a 14 year old trans girl found brutally murdered earlier this week and i can’t even stress how this is weighing on me in any way that would do it justice. in this last year it makes me think about nex benedict and brianna ghey, the news outlets that misgendered them and trashed their memory. as far as i know there is not a gofundme by the family, but if there is one please donate or spread the word

rest in peace, pauly. you were known to us

[our-queer-experience]

there was a gofundme, but it had issues and was taken down. however, it did raise 3,000 dollars for her family.

if you were going to donate to her family, consider donating that money instead to a local trans rights group or those self defense programs that go to schools.

[our-queer-experience]

there is now an active gofundme
