๐โจ A Christmas Appeal from Gaza โจ๐
For many, Christmas is a time of magic, love, and hope. But here in Gaza, where my family and I live, itโs a reminder of all weโve lost.
This December, as the world celebrates with ๐ decorations and gifts, my brother Ahmad and I dream of something simplerโa chance to live, learn, and heal.
While others gather around ๐ฝ๏ธ festive tables, my family struggles to find even basic food. While stockings are hung with care ๐งฆ, our shoes are worn from fleeing destruction. And while carols fill the air ๐ถ, silence hangs heavy in our hearts, broken only by the memories of what weโve lost.
But we havenโt given up hope. ๐ Hope is all we have. Ahmad and I have started a campaign to escape to Egypt, continue our education, and rebuild our lives. We need your help to make that dream possible.
This Christmas, I invite you to remember families like mine, who are not asking for gifts ๐, but for a chanceโa chance to learn, thrive, and survive.
๐ Support our campaign: https://gofund.me/32e5e95e
๐ค Share our story: Every share helps us reach someone who might lend a hand.
Letโs remind the world that true joy comes not from what we receive, but from what we give. โค๏ธ Together, we can light a candle of hope ๐ฏ๏ธ in a place that has known only darkness.
โ Our Fundraiser Vetted by โ ๐ @gazavetters, on the list is (#83) ๐ @90-ghost here ๐ by association in this post
it used to be that you only witnessed machines that devoured the innocent during wartime but now you see them in your neighbor's driveway every morning and when you ask what they do for work they tell you they have a desk job but they need it so they can haul their jet ski to the local manmade lake once every five years but they stopped doing that after he accidently backed over their six year old that one time and now every night you can hear him through the wall of your duplex threatening to kill himself while his wife sobs and chugs wine
Dear friends ๐ซ๐ซ
When we resorted to asking for urgent assistance, we resorted to it because of the difficulty of life we โโlive, whether psychological, physical or material ๐
We are a Palestinian family of seven people. We were living a decent, stable life and had our dreams. Suddenly, our situation changed because of the devastating war that caused us to lose everything we owned and negatively affected my children psychologically, educationally and otherwise ๐ญ๐ญ
Therefore, we became in dire need of help so that we can continue living ๐
Today, after approximately 330 days of war and five months since the start of the fundraising campaign, we have reached 19000โฌ / 35,000โฌ, and I am confident that you will help me reach the goal as soon as possible - I hope that everyone who sees my message will donate if possible and share it widely ๐
Thank you very much

My heart goes out to your family
What's that? I couldn't hear you, there's a lot of locusts outside my house for some reason
I was meant to be a street corner doomsday preacher but I don't like public speaking so instead I just have anxiety
I'm Sami,Iam reaching out to you today with a heavy heart, as the harsh circumstances have forced me to seek your help. I am the head of a family that was displaced due to the war in Gaza, and we lost everything we ownedโour home and belongingsโbecause of these difficult conditions.
We are now living in a tent that offers no protection from the summer heat or the winter cold. In these conditions, we lack the most basic necessities of life such as food, medicine, and clean water.
I live with my wife and two daughters in conditions that are unbearable. We face daily challenges just to meet the most basic needs of living. We cannot afford food or medicine, and our days are filled with suffering and fear for our future.
I appeal to you today, with a broken heart and hope in God and your compassionate hearts, to help alleviate our suffering. Please donate to us through GoFundMe, and any contribution, no matter how small, means so much to us and brings a glimmer of hope towards a better life.May God bless you for all the support you provide to those in need, and I pray that He blesses you and your families.๐ต๐ธ๐ต๐ธ
US popular culture is so putrid right now. Some of it just feels like a return of the Bush era (skincrawling megachurch tone to pop music, moral panics about gender norms, huge dumbass trucks and SUVs, ubiquitous casual use of "retard," etc.), but some of it is new, and makes the 2004 revival feel stupider, more grotesque: the endless scrolling vertical video, gambling on your phone, etc.
Me: *stubs my toe* "AH FUCK!"
Mass of quivering flesh that's been growing in my cabinet and slowly feeding off my suffering until it develops sentience: *takes first breath*
