I am Dima from Gaza. I am 30 years old. I stand before you as a person trying to support my family of 3 members, me, my husband, and my young daughter. We are living in very difficult circumstances after the occupation launched the war on Gaza. We were displaced from our home and live in a tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer. We live in extreme poverty due to the circumstances and there is no income. We are no longer able to provide the necessary supplies of food, drink and others due to the insane rise in prices. Thus, my source of livelihood was destroyed and we live in very difficult conditions in tents. It is difficult for me to find the words to describe what we face every day in the tents without food, medicine, or drinking clean water, along with the oppression, helplessness, psychological pressures, and daily traumas that everything causes. Around us and unable to care for our families, the fear of danger, disease and death never leaves us
Now, I find myself in this difficult situation, and I humbly ask for your help to save the lives of my family, especially my little girl, by getting us out of Gaza to Egypt and building a new life outside Gaza or helping us get money to buy the necessities we might be able to afford. Asking for help is not easy, but we had no choice because we want to survive and strive to rebuild our shattered lives. We are very grateful for any help you can offer, no matter how small, because your help will go a long way in alleviating our suffering. I hope you will share my story with your family and friends.
The real heroes.

i almost never do vent art, much less post it but man, i have been feeling bummed out recently
Keep your messaging simple:
“Trump fired everyone in charge of airplane safety, and a week later planes started crashing into each other.”
That’s it. That’s the messaging. Don’t get bogged down disputing Trump’s false claims. Just blame him, in short and repeatable sentences.
it actually makes me sick to see the NFL, 49ers, and chiefs all make statements supporting Israel and saying shit like "we mourn the lives lost at the hands of terrorists" YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE TERRORISTS YOU FUCKING IDIOTS! what israel is doing is GENOCIDE. you're supporting GENOCIDE. who started the war? ISRAEL. who has a huge army? ISRAEL. who has continuously broken ceasefire? ISREAL. who is killing thousands of innocent people a day? ISRAEL. guess who doesn't have an official army and is basically defenseless? PALESTINE.
i wanted to say this again in light of recent events: i highly highly highly encourage anyone who sees this to read Edward W. Said's book After the Last Sky: Palestinian Lives (available on internet archive for free, but i recommend buying it). Said is palestinian, and in the book he talks about his childhood in palestine and the effects of being exiled from his homeland. the book is a true eye opener, and everything that Said says is still relevant today. it also includes photos, which truly emphasize the trauma and horrors the palestinian people have faced.
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
Do it for the meme. http://blinkingguy.com

These dudes and dudettes don't want their identities out there. Definitely don't share this. 🤫
hello! my name is cyrus, i have been living in a room with a closet overgrown with mold for at least a year and i did not realize how bad it was until i put two and two together that the health issues i've been suffering with that have been getting worse and worse since i moved into this room are literally the exact symptoms of mold toxicity! so that's awesome. i live in the living room now which is fun for both me and my roommate aka my brother.
but recently i had a mold specialist come look at it, he said that it was not a safe living environment (which i knew but was still fun to hear from a professional) and he was very kind and tried to knock the price down as much as he could for me because he knows i am having money struggles but it still came to an estimated 1800 dollars. which is quite a lot for me to have to pay all at once, and i certainly could not for a few months. however, he did offer a payment plan of 500 dollars upfront and 400 per month afterward, which i cannot afford immediately and is where the 900 comes from. my family are also unfortunately unable to contribute because everyone is kind of incredibly broke. anything you can give is much appreciated, thank you so much 🫶🫶
