you can click once every 24 hrs to benefit UN aid organizations in Palestine. Arab.org keeps track of these benefits and publishes transparency reports every quarter at their website here. the above link goes directly to benefit Palestine, but you can also click more benefit programs from their frontpage at Arab.org.

a lot of us on tumblr are desperate to help Gaza but have absolutely nothing to offer except our attention and our worry. we don't have money to send, we don't have the ear of the public, we don't have any influence at all. this site appears to be (i say "appears to be" because ive been on the internet and just generally alive too long to ever think anything is a sure bet) a way to summon a small amount of money out of thin air and send it where it needs to go, with zero effort besides moving your mouse or your finger. i think we can all handle that much, no matter how helpless we are otherwise.

i don't like or trust NGOs as a rule, however, UNRWA, the organization aided by clicking the green link above, is despised by Israel and has been defunded by Trump twice, which in my opinion is one of the strongest indicators it is probably actually performing some useful function in Gaza.

consider setting Arab.org as your homepage in your desktop and mobile browsers to help you remember to click, and consider setting up scheduled reblogs or making your own posts with reminders.

"The commons begins, as most things do, with family. Think about how resources move within a household. Nobody invoices their partner for cooking dinner. Nobody charges their child for the use of a bedroom. There’s no market inside a family, because the relationships are organised around need and reciprocity rather than transaction. What’s mine is available to you, what’s yours is available to me, and we’re both better off for it.

This logic extended outward, to neighbours, to the village, to the wider community, for most of human history. The commons wasn’t a formal institution imposed from above, it was the natural shape that cooperation takes when people live closely together and depend on the same land.

Scholars used to assume, following Adam Smith, that before money there was barter, that people traded wheat for shoes and meat for pots in a primitive version of the marketplace. The anthropologist David Graeber spent years looking for ancient evidence of this barter economy and couldn’t find any. No society has ever been documented that organised itself primarily through the exchange of goods between individuals. What actually existed, everywhere, were systems of mutual obligation, gift, and reciprocal support. The shoemaker didn’t trade shoes for wheat, the community fed the shoemaker, and the shoemaker kept everyone’s feet dry. Debts were social rather than financial. Memory and relationship did the work that money later claimed to do.

This matters because the standard story, that markets are natural and ownership is instinctive and competition is the default, is not history. It’s a story told backwards, projecting the assumptions of the present onto a past that worked very differently."

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.
