As you know, I and my mutuals frequently post about Siraj @/siraj2024, who is trying to rebuild his home in Gaza. We stress that rebuilding in Gaza and resisting ethnic cleansing is just as important as evacuating to safety. One of the things we are all fighting for is for Palestinians to have the right to return to their homes. With that, I have another campaign I'd like to bring to your attention.
Mahmoud Hamam (@ma7moudgaza2) is a web designer and college student. He and his family have been displaced by the IOF several times and now live in a tent in al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis. He cannot stay there much longer.
Here's what studying is like for him now:
Due to the recent massacres there, he has been unable to come online. He also had his previous account terminated by Tumblr, in an act of genocidal censorship. This is why we must help him.
He is only at $2,238 of $25,000, and he has been campaigning for a month as of right now. He has a long way to go but I beliveve it is possible to get him to his goal soon! We have seen people raise this amount in record time, I really do believe in all of us.
Despite all he has endured, he has not given up hope. Lets help him rebuild.
I am Mahmoud Hamam from Gaza, in the midst of destruction and bombing. I am writing to you that our morale is still high and that determination is present. After all the harsh circumstances we have been through, horrific events, but they will not destroy us, but rather they will make us stronger..

Palestinians are trying to rebuild their lives in Northern and Central Gaza as the occupation focuses its genocidal war machine on the South, particularly Rafah
I am Hani Al-Sharif from Gaza 🍉. I support a family of 7 people. My wife and children (Tala, Razan, Lina, Saba, and Muhammad). I have a gofundme campaign that I created for my daughter Razan, who lost her hearing in the war and needs a cochlear implant, and also to protect my family from hunger, and get them out of the danger of the war in Gaza 🍉. We live in very difficult circumstances. Help me, we are still far from achieving our dream. I hope everyone will donate even a little. I am confident that you will stand with me and support me until I achieve my daughter’s dream of regaining her hearing again Share my story 🙏

selfish online “anarkkkist$$” and “lefti$$t$$” want to see organized protestors pick up dildos when they should be wanting them to pick up some gun safety and discipline. put down the bongs pick up the blicks. put down the signs pick up the shields. i am tired of watching them getting helplessly beat up by cops and randoms. i want to see winning you want to see wanking we are not the same.

i want to learn to validate the anxious feelings that keep me procrastinating rather than trying to squash them away
& i want to learn to use self-compassion to (lovingly) undermine my urge to invest self-worth in outcome. because that seems like a major subconscious reason behind my procrastination: the task becomes overwhelming because i’m letting it define me. this blog post says procrastination is actually a signal that we need more self-care and self-compassion. it’s not always showing a lack of time management (though that can play a part) – if i saw my tasks as not determining my worth or ability but just as something to do, something i could potentially enjoy intrinsically, i wouldn’t feel this level of anxiety
healthy self-appreciation is interconnected with others. just as we can offer ourselves self-compassion for our inadequacies and mistakes by remembering that it makes us human, and is thus a point of connection, we can learn to shine knowing that it’s connected with others.
“If you take the notion of interbeing seriously, then celebrating your achievements is no more self-centred than having compassion for your failings. We can’t really claim personal responsibility for our gifts and talents. They were born from our ancestral gene pool, the love and nurturing of our parents, the generosity of friends, the guidance of teachers, and the wisdom of our collective culture. A unique nexus of causes and conditions went into creating the ever-evolving person we are. Appreciation for our good qualities, then, is really an expression of gratitude for all that has shaped us as individuals and as a species. Self-appreciation humbly honours all of creation.” (Self-Compassion, Kristin Neff)

Protecting Indigenous food sovereignty doesn’t just mean calling out the shitty colonial behaviour of groups like PETA etc. It also means taking up the environmental fight, stopping threats like tankers and pipelines to salmon populations, fighting commercial fish companies threatening the fishing practices of Indigenous fishermen, fighting government propaganda that blames wolves for caribou declines instead of poison from oil companies, and fighting against land encroachment which threatens the whole food chain in the name of extraction or recreation industries.
