To anyone who has been sending me private messages:
I am unable to send any more money at this time because I'm in a lot of medical debt. I've turned off private messaging for now, but my ask box is still open. I will still be compiling the asks I get into the fundraiser roundup posts every couple of weeks. For now, that's the most I can do. I'm sorry that I can't help in a more immediate way anymore.
Also, please do not feel that you have to follow me if I shared or donated to your fundraiser. I'm just one person who's not very active on Tumblr, and I don't have the ability to verify the legitimacy of anyone's fundraiser myself.
I need you to stop what you're doing. Stop playing your game, stop reading your book, stop listening to your music. I need you, all of you, please, to go and help palestinians. Right now and in the future. I need you to help them because they need our help, our help to survive the horrible conditions created by israel.
Please, do something for those who need it, today.
My friend Abdalrhman has had, very understandably, a hard few years. He’s had to battle things hardly any of us have even come close to dealing with. Bombs, bullets, the destruction of his home, a famine, he has had to brave them all, and has lived through them all. I ask you to please, please, help him.
Hello,
I'm Abdelrahman, 22 years old. My journey has been… Abdallah Alanqar needs your support for Help Abdelrahman Rebuild His Future –
Please don't abandon us, don't leave us. We need your support and donations. You are our safety net; we have no one but you to stay well. Please donate to us. Please don't leave us.
My friends in Gaza, there are no signs of life left. We are struggling against time and the passing days to get out of here and stay alive. Please donate. Your donations help us immensely. Please don't abandon us.
Please don't abandon us when we desperately need your support and assistance. Please, please donate to us now. Your donations are vital and will keep us alive. Please donate.
Please, I beg you — if you're reading this, don’t look away. Every second matters.
My baby boy, Qais, is one of Gaza’s starving and wounded children. He survived the bombing, but now he’s fighting a quieter, crueler war — hunger. His tiny ribs show through his skin, his eyes no longer shine. Every day, I watch him fade a little more. We need your help. Your donation could be the difference between life and death for my child and so many others trapped in Gaza’s hunger and pain. 💔
From one broken mother to every heart that still feels — please, don’t let my son die waiting for mercy. Qais deserves a chance to live, to smile again, to be a child, not a statistic. I am begging you to share, to donate, to do anything that could help him survive this nightmare. Let your kindness reach Gaza before hunger takes another innocent soul. Please, save my baby, save Qais. 💔
If Qais was your only child, would you leave him to face his fate alone?
The news in the picture is terrifying: they are planning a "new Gaza" under the control of those who committed genocide! This is not reconstruction; it is a malicious attempt to legitimize displacement and consolidate control over our land.
Is it conceivable that the victim would be entrusted to the perpetrator? Rejection alone is not enough!
We are steadfast, but we desperately need the means to remain on our land and to have the food and medicine we need to survive. We ask for your help through donations. Please don't abandon us.

Please help Ahmed's family. This is a terrifying development, and Ahmed and his family still desperately need funds for healthcare and for reliable access to nutritious food.
As more and more people are being forced to switch to Windows 11, Microsoft's most AI-malware-ridden OS yet, I've been putting together articles and links for how to undo the damage and save your battery, your RAM, your disk space, your privacy, and your sanity from this bullshit.
FIRST:
The easiest way to get rid of the majority of the bullshit that Windows is forcing on us, as of October 2025, is this one-stop-one-click debloat solution from a modern day hero:
A simple, lightweight PowerShell script to remove pre-installed apps, disable telemetry, as well as perform various other changes to customi
It's very easy, even if you're not tech savvy or get scared of pop up windows saying "ARE YOU SURE?" Yes, you are sure, I promise. This program takes maybe two minutes and will save you SO MUCH pain, time, and money (and exploitation).
Now that you've done that, here's the cleanup, to catch the little shit that the debloat might have missed (most of this will already be done by debloat, but hey, it's good to double check).
Microsoft wants to put AI everywhere on your PC, but you can take back control.
Even just reading about some of these features makes me angry. Fucking Copilot and "Discover" AI scrapers are in Notepad. NOTEPAD. And then there's this uncanny valley garbage:
No uncanny valley video calls for me, thanks! (Also, what else is it doing while it scans your face and listens to your calls? What else, microsoft? Because there was a lot of memory being assigned to this program for a simple "smooths your skin" add on).
Tired of Microsoft pushing ads throughout Windows 11? Here are the settings you can tweak to turn them off and reclaim some privacy.
The truly insane number of places they have stuck ads on your own home computer is sickening. Become Unmarketable.
Bonus:
Some background programs you probably don't need that are taking up space and how to remove them (Microsoft forums, 2024)
Your Samsung Galaxy Phone comes with 22 apps you don't need (Android Police, 2025)
How to disable the AI in firefox (still the only browser that lets you do this permanently) (Windows Report, 2025)
Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine.
So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do:
In the url bar, type in about:config
It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue.
One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top:
Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy.
The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.
Edit: This wildly broke containment for a post that was supposed to be me basically ranting and grumbling like an old man on my porch to my homies. If I’ve inspired you to follow through with this, peachy. That was mildly intended. Better yet, I hope I’ve spurred a buncha you on to do your own bit of digging and research.
If you were one of today’s lucky ten thousand to learn something new, I hope you keep doing it. I won’t be here to hold your hand through it, as I simply don’t have the time nor spoons for it, so I implore you to go down your own rabbit hole and chase knowledge with wild abandon.
We are suffering from a deadly famine, we have no vegetables no flour or good food of any kind. We are experiencing severe malnutrition. This time, I am appealing to your humanity after losing all other means to ask for help. I have no internet connection and no ability to walk to get it.
But you can simply share this post and help us. Please don’t let it stop with you.
Please share and help 🙏

My campaign has been vetted by:
@90-ghost here, @northgazaupdatas here, and @el-shab-hussien and @nabulsi 's spreadsheet of vetted campaigns #205.
Here's a link to the EFF page that contains this information:
The ad identifier - aka “IDFA” on iOS, or “AAID” on Android - is the key that enables most third-party tracking on mobile devices. Disabling
On Android
With the release of Android 12, Google began allowing users to delete their ad ID permanently. On devices that have this feature enabled, you can open the Settings app and navigate to Privacy > Ads. Tap “Delete advertising ID,” then tap it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future.
On iOS
To see which apps you have previously granted access to, go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking. You can set the “Allow apps to Request to Track” switch to the “off” position (the slider is to the left and the background is gray). This will prevent apps from asking to track in the future. If you have granted apps permission to track you in the past, this will prompt you to ask those apps to stop tracking as well. You also have the option to grant or revoke tracking access on a per-app basis.
Apple has its own targeted advertising system, separate from the third-party tracking it enables with IDFA. To disable it, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising. Set the “Personalized Ads” switch to the “off” position to disable Apple’s ad targeting.
My name is Ahmad , and I am a 14-year-old resident of Khan Younis, within the Gaza Strip. I am reaching out to you in hopes of bringing aid to my family and others in our community during these incredibly challenging times. We are deeply humbled by the generosity and support of those who have already contributed, and words cannot fully convey our gratitude for the hope you have given us in moments when despair feels overwhelming.
My goal is to raise $20,000 to help cover the urgent needs of my family and secure essential supplies for others in our community. The funds will be used to provide for my father, (50 years), my mother, (42 years), my sister (16 years), and various families who are suffering from the crisis.
As winter approaches, we are in desperate need of shelter, warm clothing, food, clean water, and medical supplies. Tents and winter supplies are critical for survival, especially for families with young children and the elderly.
The cost of daily necessities has skyrocketed, and our limited resources are quickly depleting. Access to even the most basic items is increasingly restricted, leaving us to struggle against mounting prices and a scarcity of goods. The recent escalation at Rafah Crossing last May has compounded these challenges, making essential goods prohibitively expensive. Additionally, my father, who was the breadwinner of our family, has lost his job, leaving us in an incredibly fragile situation.
The funds raised will be allocated as follows:
* Purchasing tents and winter supplies for families in need, including my own
* Providing food and clean water for those who are struggling
* Covering basic life necessities such as medical supplies and warm clothing for my family and others in need
We plan to distribute these supplies directly to families in our community, ensuring that your generous donations reach those who require assistance the most.
Thank you for your patience, compassion, and unwavering humanity. Your support means the world to us, providing a glimmer of hope as we brace ourselves against these relentless hardships. Your kindness has become a beacon of light, helping us face the harsh reality of our daily lives.
With heartfelt appreciation.
