YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND HELP A FAMILY SURVIVE‼️

if you've been following me for a while, you've probably seen me post about @yousefalyazji1 and his wife, @monayazjii2

i talk with yousef often, but with the blackout in palestine i hadn't heard from him in a while. i finally heard back and he informed me that the gofundme (linking for reference) will no longer be used for donating, but the same person running the gofundme me will be accepting donations through paypal to support yousef and his family

if you cannot scan the qr code, his @ is @OsamLolo on paypal (conversion table for convenience below, thanks to @thegreatdemonzhuyan)

please help me spread around this! the gofundme keeps getting notes but i want to help let people know about the paypal account! especially when the blackout makes it difficult for yousef and mona to get internet access!

Please stop what you're doing right now. Stop everything. If you're eating, put your hands down. If you're drinking, stop what you're buying. If you're playing, stop playing. If you're on a trip or at work, please just listen to me for a moment. Please don't ignore what I'm about to say.

What's happening here today is unbearable. Gaza is not well, even after what you call a ceasefire. We still can't return to our homes, and we pay exorbitant rents every month. We buy food at very high prices; we even have to pay for water. The war hasn't stopped. Every day there's shelling and gunfire. Please, don't let the Zionist media deceive you into thinking Gaza is living in luxury. We are suffering. There's no infrastructure, and there are none of the basic necessities of life.

Israel has spent $900,000 on media outlets to spread the false narrative that Gaza is doing well. This Zionist project, targeting pro-Zionist Western influencers, has been expanded to an estimated $3 million to conceal the truth from you. Please don't let them deceive you. We are not doing well here; we are suffering and need help. We need your donations. Please help us and donate to us.

Please listen to Nader and don't ignore what he's saying. Nader is suffering in a war that has lasted three decades. Please don't ignore him and please donate to him.

please dont assume somebody else will donate! please feel free to help nader, everything counts!

Please donate. We've been waiting since yesterday and no one has donated. Please donate to us. We need your help. Please don't ignore us. Please donate.

something i find very obnoxious in fiction is when a story presents us with a society of structural misogyny and decides it wants to deal with misogyny within its text but can't commit to exploring the precarity of heterosexual relationships within that system. so you end up with these relationships where these feminist or proto-feminist women end up happily ensconced within the heterosexual marriage and its like fine and they don't have any complicated feelings about it bc their husbands like them and are nice guys. which like. does nothing to counter the insane societal issues faced by these women and also insultingly implies that happiness and self-actualization can only be found for these women within the safe harbor created by a graciously tolerant man. this post is about bridgerton and also jujutsu kaisen fanfic.

re: AI tools it's very frustrating because it's like. you can just say "I don't think it's good at most of the things that people use it for and I'm worried about it reducing job opportunities for human beings." but no everyone has to say some bullshit about The Soul and Mental Degradation but not in a fascist eugenics way they promise

today I learned fatphobia has groomed many among us into breathing with our chest muscles instead of our diaphragms for fear of sticking our stomachs out

if breathing deeply is not helping you during a panic attack, you might just need to adjust your method

You have:

Have you tried:

This might make it:

relationships and jobs are temporary. your shitty unpopular tumblr blog is forever

kinda fucked up that it’s an almost universal tgirl experience to have a medically neglectful dose of estrogen for the first year of your transition

and the onus to explain the science of transition to our providers as if we are the doctors and they're the pharmacy that always get your order wrong

the amount of trans women finding out from my omo fairy post that their meds are sublingual has been uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not good

Some of you think of Cops as kind of a symbolic figure representing "telling you what to do" & you're Posting things like "acab includes fandom discourse" and I thuink the 80% white website needs to remember the reason why we hate cops is because they kill people

We hate cops because they're a weapon for enforcing the state's interests through violence. Like, they kill & imprison people. The antis don't have a Quite Literal boot on your neck please god log off or talk to a Black person or something

To be SO fair like really generous there is something to be said for unlearning the habit of figuratively "policing" other people especially in the context of, like, not being a fucking snitch, "kill the cop in your head" etc etc, but can we not completely lose the plot re: what cops Are

Environmental storytelling or something like that

Interesting how the transfeminine version got marked mature literally *as* I posted it, very clearly hitting some sort of automated filter, while the cis version was untouched by the filter even though it was otherwise identical

This image isn't just a fleeting news item; it's part of our daily reality in Gaza. While thousands of trucks loaded with tents, blankets, food, and medicine are held outside the Strip, prevented from entering by the Israeli occupation, we face a humanitarian catastrophe that worsens day by day. We die here every moment. We suffer constantly, and everyone ignores what we're going through.

I was injured more than 600 days ago. Shrapnel from the bombing of our house, while we were inside, is still embedded in my body. I'm still injured and unable to receive proper treatment because of the siege and the lack of medical supplies. The pain is constant, but what's worse than the pain is the feeling that we're forgotten and that everyone is ignoring what we're going through. We constantly ask for help, and everyone ignores us.

My family and I are very ill now due to the winter storm that began yesterday in Gaza. Because of this winter, we haven't been able to recover due to the lack of medicine and shelter from these recurring storms. Our tent is torn and leaking rainwater and cold air. Worse still, all our blankets and pillows are soaked. We urgently need to buy medicine and treatments, but they are very expensive because the occupation prevents the entry of medicine into Gaza. Therefore, we desperately need your help by donating so we can buy these medicines quickly. Please donate.

Worse still, I have a runny nose and severe sneezing. When I sneeze, it feels like the metal fragments (stuck in my body) are moving inside me, and I experience excruciating pain in the affected areas and my wounds. Please help me so I can buy my medication as soon as possible. Please donate.

please donate

Please give what you can to help Fadel get medicine, and help he and his family survive the seige and the dangerous weather

I am very ill right now. When I sneeze, it feels like metal fragments are moving around inside me. I am extremely tired. I just sneezed, and my wounds and injured areas are in excruciating pain. I don't know how long this pain will last. Please help me by donating so I can have my surgery as soon as possible and buy my medication. Please donate.

Please help my friend Fadel. He needs care urgently. No one should have to suffer like this. Please donate if you can.

I don't know what to say or do in this intense storm and winds exceeding 70 kilometers per hour. I can barely stretch my hand out to write this post. Please, whoever shares this, please, please donate to us.

20% raised so help if you can, even if that means rbing this

The pain has become unbearable; I even wish for death. I feel no relief, and the pain is relentless. I still can't afford my medication. Every moment feels like my last. My only wish is that everyone knows what I'm going through, and that my voice reaches anyone who can help by donating so I can buy medicine and repair our torn tent. Please donate and don't abandon us.

i kinda play a character on here but also the character is just me so it cancels out

Today I stood beside my mother in the hospital, and the doctors were clear: her condition is critical and deeply alarming. My mother is not asking for the impossible , she is asking for her right to live. She is a human being, a soul in pain, just like your mother.

Why this silence? Why this indifference? My mother urgently needs to travel to receive the treatment that could save her life.

I am begging you , don’t scroll past this as if it doesn’t matter. Do something… share, speak, help. And if she were your mother lying there in pain, what would you do?

can we please acknowledge that tma/tme is a meaningful distinction? a justice of the US supreme court is openly saying that it's legal to discriminate against trans women because the same laws do not target trans men. the transmisogyny is what makes it permissible. your transphobia is fine as long as it has carveouts for men.

Fascinating parallel here. This incapacity of the legal framework to protect groups who are at the intersection of two protected groups (trans women in this case, black women in the original) even while protecting both groups individually is Crenshaw's original reason for coining the word "intersectionality", which has since gone through the wringer.
