Happy Thursday The 20th

please donate to help a Palestinian family and their newborn facing a home demolition in Jerusalem

These are friends of friends, and they are in desperate need of funds to relocate to a new home in Jerusalem and try to start rebuilding their lives.

The Jerusalem Municipality is demolishing the home of Hisham’s family + 119 others in the Bustan area of Silwan to build a park. Here is recent reporting from last week, and here’s an older article by NPR about this specific situation

Please donate if you are able, or reblog to help spread the word. The family needs to raise $30,000 by March 15.

[Text ID: My name is Hisham (I am choosing not to publicize my full name out of fear of retaliation from Israel), and along with my wife and our beautiful newborn daughter, I live in a neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem called Silwan. I started this fundraiser as an urgent plea for help, as my family is currently preparing for the worst: the demolition of our home by Israel.

Last year, my family received a home demolition order from the Israeli authorities which dictates the following: if we do not demolish our home by March 15, 2024, the Jerusalem Municipality will demolish it for us, in which case we will have to pay a fine of 82,000 shekels (roughly $22,000). If we fail to pay the fine, I will be jailed.

My elderly parents and all of my siblings also received home demolition orders, as did more than 120 other families in Silwan, some of whom have already had their homes demolished. Unfortunately, forced displacement has been a constant, decades-long battle for us here in Silwan, and this latest wave of demolitions is just one part of the broader Israeli policy to dispossess Palestinians of our homes and land.

My wife and I have poured everything we have into the legal battle over the demolition order, which to our despair, has lead nowhere. I have had to pick up a second job to support us through this prolonged nightmare, and even still, we find ourselves in a position where we will not be able to pay the fine, let alone have anything left to help us move. At this point, we have exhausted all of our options, and we are appealing to you as a last resort.

We ask that you help us reach our fundraising goal of $30,000, which will go directly towards the demolition fine and our search for a new living arrangement.

The imminent destruction of our home and the uncertainty that comes with it has devastated us, especially as this is happening at a time when we are witnessing an extreme escalation of Israel’s violence and aggression throughout all of Palestine. We are terrified for our safety and our future, and we pray that you can help us.

God bless you all, be safe everywhere. Thank you very much, Hisham. /End ID]

Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister

Very important PSA for folks born in the 80s who don't want to look like a nazi:

I saw someone make a genuinely innocent mistake about this again, so please take note!

The number "88" is frequently used as neo-nazi flagging. It's a numerical code for "HH," which means "Heil Hitler." You may also see it in combination with the number 14, referencing the infamous "14 Words." If you ever see "1488" tacked onto someone's username, or posted as a comment, or in a tattoo, that person is a neo-nazi. Full stop.

If you were born in 1988, don't put "88" in your social media handle. People are going to think you are a nazi.

If you didn't know, now you know.

a friendly reminder from your local korean blogger that “lunar new year” is inclusive of the many cultures who celebrate, and “chinese new year” should be used only if you’re referring to specifically chinese cultural practices of the new year. thank you!!!

happy birthday gromit

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”

I am Rima from Gaza

We live in this tent and we are approaching winter and we do not protect ourselves from the cold and rain Please we need you , Our dreams have been destroyed and we have nothing left but a worn-out tent. Please we need you and your conscience and your humanity. The tent has a roof with many holes and the windows are covered with cloth that lets in rain .

Hello everyone Im Alaa Alseer from Gaza and im 20years old, i want to open … Alaa Alser needs your support for Help me so that I can help my

The place is exposed from the outside and its floor is made of sand.

We need to buy a cover to cover these holes so that the rain does not leak inside the tent.

This cover is expensive and we need a cover for the outer roof.

And a floor covering for the place outside the tent, and this is necessary.

Your donations, no matter how small or large, will save my family from the war zone in Gaza, and I trust you and your merciful hearts.

We cannot provide the basic materials, food, flour, clothing, and medicine. We are on the brink of starvation.

And the prices have reached 20 times the real price.

You are our last hope and the lifeblood of our beating heart.
