Nader, age 17, can’t go to school right now because he has to survive a genocide instead. He's running this campaign for himself and his brother Abd Al Salam and the rest of their family. Can you donate $10 to help him, or share his campaign? He's #4 on the gazavetters list.

All fundraisers on https://gazafunds.com/ are vetted and verified to be from Palestinians. The algorithm has been suppressing and shadow-banning a lot of fundraisers from Palestinians in Gaza, and these people are reaching out to us for the ability to be able to survive. Food and other daily living needs are costly and limited (even starting since the 2007 blockade on the Gaza Strip, and especially worsened in the last year) and living conditions continue to get worse in the Gaza Strip as we head into winter again.
This website brings up a random campaign to spotlight; please donate, if you can, to the first one you see! A lot of people donating a little bit adds up. Please remember currency exchange rates.
Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.
For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.
I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.
"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"
If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.
shayma escaped gaza before the crossing closed and has been struggling to care for her family of 16 in egypt. rent is skyrocketing, and now her brother needs help funding his master's degree. she just lost her childhood friend and her friend's family, she needs support right now.

I am making this post for Dina and Ahmed Alanqar's family in Gaza @anqarfamily. They have four young children: Zeina, Eileen, Yamen, and their littlest daughter Sawsan, born just this past June. They have been multiply displaced at this point, with their homes and workplaces destroyed by Zionist bombs, and have been facing the difficulties of a scarcity and/or lack of work, schools, healthcare, food, water, and medicine, along with the everpresent threat of disease, ever since.
This fundraiser's objective is to provide them with sufficient funds so that when the opportunity arrives, they will be able to leave Gaza. Please, if you are able, donate! And regardless of your situation, make sure to share this post! I would like to see the notes on this eclipse the number of votes on the poll, unlike an unfortunately high quantity of other posts like this one, and for Dina and Ahmed to receive as many donations as possible!
This is a vetted fundraiser, listed as #264 on this speadsheet of verified fundraisers created by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein.
They are close to their goal, let's help them reach it!
the worst fucking shit is hearing other trans women online imply that “clocky” trans women aren’t really part of the community of trans women, that we basically count as men
This is good advice before any storm! Insurance will probably be a pain anyway, but at least you'll have something documented.
The worst thing is that low quality porn is still extremely easily accessible on tumblr, but what isn't allowed anymore really is user's expressions of their own sexuality.
