thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity. spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.
Got back from work around 3 am and my apartment was flooding.

Hey guys! This is important so please dont scroll past this.
Wafaa's old blog got shadowbanned, and its just yet another example of how far tumblr will go to silence palestinians when theyre already struggling to get by because of illness, starvation and the constant violence. It should alarm you just how frequent this is becoming with palestinian bloggers having to remake 3-4 times when theyre already living through the worst things imaginable.
If you don't know who she is, Wafaa Alnhal is a woman in her 40s who had left for Egypt a little after the occupation attacked for medical treatment. She has since been working hard to spread her campaign and evacuate her family who she had to leave behind in Gaza, despite her own ongoing struggle with her health issues and making rent.
Initially her goal for her gfm had been 35k, but recently she's had to raise it to 50k because her daughter has gotten hepatitis from the polluted water in Gaza. Her family is suffering- all 15 of them including 4 young children and a newborn baby- and they will have to live with the damage for the rest of their lives. It's taking its toll on Wafaa too, who's had to neglect her own health and wellbeing to raise funds for them.
She's made a new blog @wafs-posts and you all should follow her there to get updates from her on the situation directly. You should be listening to her instead of hearing this from me.
Her gfm is currently at 12k/50k
They still have a long way to go, so please dont let tumblrs censorship slow them down
Her campaign has been verified, and there is a raffle being conducted (by @/ibtisams) to raise funds for her campaign so please give it a look, and consider taking part there are some truly beautiful journals to be won.
Please follow the raffles for palestine account and take a look at the other artwork thats up for grabs too!

the situation in khan younis (southern gaza) is getting worse and worse everyday with israel trying to push more palestinians into rafah (the designed ‘safe zone’ which btw they have also been relentlessly bombing for weeks). doctors are performing open surgery at al-nasser hospital in the middle of power cuts and amputations while under siege and constant bombing around it. journalist saleh al jafarawi (@/saleh_aljafarawi on ig) is still in khan younis so he reports on the situation there - it is deteriorating rapidly and the number of injured and martyrs is huge. palestinians are getting sniped trying to retrieve loved ones and flee once again while carrying white flags, a repeat of what they lived when forced to evacuate from hospitals and homes in northern gaza. after succeeding in forcibly displacing palestinians from khan younis, israeli quad copters opened fire on them. palestinians are digging mass graves at al-nasser hospital for the martyrs. al-nasser itself is on the brink of collapse, in the same state al-shifa hospital in the north was, and today, after a day of non-stop bombings on khan younis, journalist mohammed el helo (@/mo_elhelo21 on ig), reports that al-nasser cannot deal with the huge volume of injured and displaced palestinians it is receiving
you know it has occurred to me often recently that perhaps the correct way to fight fatphobia is not to insist there’s something wrong with you if you don’t find fat people attractive, but to focus on the fact that you should be able to respect and treat with kindness people who you don’t find attractive. like. just a thought
