Due to my deteriorating physical and mental health (discussed previously), I am forced to decrease the amount of time I spend on this blog.
I was scheduled to take a hiatus tomorrow, Friday 3 January 2025, but the urgent nature of our supported campaigns has made that impossible.
I am struggling with multiple chronic illnesses, several undiagnosed health problems, severe depression, and crises in my family. This makes it incredibly difficult for me to support these campaigns. I can barely post updates anymore, let alone make new posts.
It would really help support these campaigns if any of you would be willing to post about them. I will still post when I can, but I am having a health crisis and I simply cannot continue on at my current pace. These campaigns need all the visibility and support they can get, and you can help them achieve more of this by posting for them, and sharing our posts and posts from the involved families.
I am sorry. This is not a step I wanted to have to take. But after my physical health has been worsening, I recently had a major, dangerous mental health crisis. I am nearly beyond the capacity to support any of these key campaigns, let alone the dozens this blog has supported in the past. I am taking this leave out of absolute necessity.
Please check our "#support" and “#ngu*” tags to find a long list of campaigns to support.
Please support them by donating, sharing our posts, sharing posts from the blogs listed under “contact”, making your own posts on tumblr, and sharing them across all your social media accounts.
NOTE: Going forward, I am adopting a new system of prioritization. I have held off doing this for months, but the high volume of need and my own limited resources mean it is no longer an option. In the future, I will be focusing on campaigns primarily (but not exclusively) supporting women, girls, young children, and marginalized individuals. Research has demonstrated that these groups are affected the worst during conflicts and crises, and also receive the least support. The details of how this system will function will be forthcoming, but I wanted to notify you all. This is not being adopted because men’s lives are viewed as having inherently less worth, that concept is preposterous. Rather, it is because these specific groups are additionally highly disadvantaged during emergencies like this. We are trying to respond to the most intense need, and statistically, that represents these populations. Thank you
