oh just shoot me why don’t you
i NEED to get active on here again
Writing wasn’t a window to the world – it was a window onto myself. And when I gained language, it felt like I had finally found a friend on this brutal planet: one who listened without fleeing, who made the world feel momentarily escapeable.
What I never expected was that one day this friend would fall silent. Not because I wanted to stop writing, but because I no longer could.
And the reason?
I am hungry.
Since the genocide began in Gaza, I’ve questioned everything. Every value that once shaped me has trembled. Even writing – that deep power I’ve always used to resist fear, displacement, and grief – began to feel fragile, subject to decay. War is a strange thing. It doesn’t just destroy homes; it pulls the ground of certainty from beneath you, wipes away the tiny sense of security you once arranged in your room to comfort yourself.
But you know what does this more than war?
Hunger.
they're calling the daily murder of 30-60 palestinians in search of food "the hunger games" now, because it has been going on for nearly two weeks where israel will set up aid distribution points as bait and then shoot the starving people going and coming to get it.
and you would think the chances of dying are so high that people would refuse to go there, but then i think about if people in my family, especially children, were crying from hunger in front of me i would not hesitate to go. and i also remember this essay, about hunger. you would do anything to end it, including take your chances with unseen, sadistic israeli soldiers lying in wait with their snipers ready.
Let's talk I know I don't have many followers but I wish everyone would see this... Women here are shy to talk about this but I won't be shy and I will tell you a little bit of my experience because some of you will feel disgusted (I don't know why) During my period I didn't have sanitary pads. Do you know what I did? I had to tear some of my clothes and make pads for my period and the really painful thing was trying to hide myself while I was washing them. The pain here became double. First, the pain of using these poorly handmade pads and the biggest pain was trying to hide myself while I was washing and hanging them. In fact, I was proud that I was able to help myself in providing an alternative, but the biggest shock was when the symptoms started to appear on me, severe infections, rashes and severe pain in the vaginal area...
Now I just want you to help me in providing sanitary pads for me, my sisters, relatives and female friends (don't ignore a girl's pain). Donate to me to provide pads or via PayPal

This is not just a photo it’s our daily reality in Gaza.
I am a father of five, living under the harshest conditions imaginable. My children go to bed hungry most nights, and I feel helpless watching them suffer. There is no food, no clean water, and no safety.
I myself am injured from Israeli airstrikes, and my health is deteriorating. I’m in pain, physically and emotionally. I want to provide for my children, to see them smile again, to give them a warm meal — even just one.
What’s happening here is not a natural disaster. It is forced starvation. It is the slow death of innocent people, especially children, because they are being denied food and aid.
Your donation can change everything for us. Even a small amount can feed my family for a day. It can help me get medicine, water, and the bare essentials to survive.
Please, if you have anything to give, I ask you to open your heart.
Is your kind heart aching because of the famine that the children of Gaza ?
Yes, I Will Donate 😭💔
Yes, I Will Reblog 😭💔
See ResultsMy name is Ahmed, I’m 20 years old, and I’m from Gaza City. I used to dream of a peaceful life, completing my education, and getting a job, but the war has turned that dream into something impossible 💔😭. We lived through this massacre in every painful detail, and we are still in pain 😔. We were so happy when the ceasefire was announced, and we returned to our homes in the north of Gaza after being displaced for a year and a half in a tent in the south of the Strip. After we fixed a small room in our destroyed house to live in and start over, unfortunately, the war returned, stronger than before 💔. Now, we have no shelter and no source of income. We have exhausted all our savings during the war. I know that I started my campaign very late, but that’s because there is no other way to help my family 🙏. I am fully confident and hopeful that someone here will help us as much as they can and save my family in these difficult circumstances 😔.
I know that the feeling of starting from scratch is painful and frustrating, but I hope to receive any amount for my family 🥺🙏.

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #542 )✅️
I received a message today from inside Gaza—an internally displaced family living in unimaginable conditions. There's not enough food, no clean water, and prices are soaring while even the most basic necessities are out of reach. The bombing hasn’t stopped, fear is constant, and displacement has become the daily reality for thousands.
Imagine children going to sleep suffering from malnutrition, and homes being destroyed along with the dreams of those who lived in them. This is not a scene from a movie—it’s a relentless, ongoing reality.
What’s happening in Gaza is not just a humanitarian crisis, it’s a call to the conscience of the world. These people deserve to be heard. Their stories deserve to be told—with truth and urgency.
For those who can help: Ahed’s family is one of thousands in Gaza in urgent need of support—food, clean water, and medicine. Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference.
Ahed’s fundraiser is at €13,857 raised out of 40,000, and is supporting Ahed, his wife, and their three young daughters under ten. Please share this post and donate if you can ❤️
Ahed has only received one donation since this was posted, please continue to share and donate

"We are living through a real famine in Gaza. I can no longer provide even the most basic food for my children. Imagine — a bag of flour now costs over $300, a single egg is more than $20, a kilo of rice is $50 or more, and milk has become a luxury. The only thing that gives me strength is your donations, which help me feed my children. Please, help us survive."
please help mohammed and his family. this is a verified campaign and im in communication with mohammed regularly. hes very worried about his son who was injured by an artillery shell and israel is blocking aid into gaza
As promised, here are a few resources on Israel's green colonialism and ecocide in Palestine:
Books
Articles
Documentary
the things that we've been forced to manage through crowdfunding websites are insane. victims of a genocide are having to market themselves as someone who is worthy of being saved.
living for more than a year under an active genocide while seeing your oppressors cruelty and disregard for your life increase is so horrendous.
every single person in gaza has lost too much. i don't think everyone must have to share their personal loss in order to be deemed as a person worthy of safety. i think we should try to help those we can see asking for it.
i request you to help alaa and her children. she needs to buy supplies and remain safe. her area was bombed very recently. her fundraiser has been verified.
Literally sensing that no one gives a fuck anymore so friendly reminder to keep boycotting all BDS products as well as any brands linked to Israel in any way
This is a lifestyle change rather than something you temporarily commit to and then drop for mediocre watered down coffee
Love love love this app and I use it religiously everywhere I go… it’s created by Palestinian engineer Ahmed Bashbash and I believe it includes all BDS products and additional brands affiliated w Israel
Another good trick (and something I’ve learned) is finding the parent company of one brand leads you to discover other brands under that parent company that you should also be boycotting. Look up the parent company ALWAYS bc all that money feeds into the same place
