If you're looking for places to donate to this November (Native American Heritage Month) my go-to is the Navajo Water Project/DigDeep. They work to bring running water to Navajo families and have a 100% rating on Charity Navigator!

I've also had this entire election cycle to come to the realization that for most people, it really won't matter who's president. With Harris' track record, I don't see her suddenly deciding to put an arms embargo to Israel without an act of God. I don't see her enshrining abortion rights or climate policies or trans healthcare. She has gone on record in support of increased policing and increased militarization. She has made NO promises to me so it's like... ok... why does it matter if you win then?

tell me in the tags the shoes you wear most often because why not

award-winning palestinian children's illustrator baraa awoor writes:

"what use is it to be an illustrator of children's books when the world has sentenced the children of your country to the death penalty, to vanish, to genocide?"

some of baraa's illustrations:

this is an illustration for youssef, whose mother is remembered running desperately into the hospital asking if anyone had seen a "small white boy with beautiful curly hair, his name is youssef," a description which was remembered by millions when she finally identified his body:

this illustration is for young omar, who was hugging his little brother and teaching him how to repeat the shahada after him (a prayer spoken by muslims before their death) as he lay on his hospital bed:

"we want a new year that doesn't kill us or our children, we want it a year without blood, without screaming, without pain, we want a new attempt to get our lives back, or something that resembled our life, even if life is a lie we still cling to it, return life to us—a new year's card unlike any other year:"

baraa is currently fundraising to get her family of 12 out of gaza. she is a friend of mine and this is a reputable fundraiser, so please donate if you can. the egyptian government is currently charging upwards of 5,000 USD per person to get to cairo through the rafah border:

$76,618 / $100,000 goal

NO DONATIONS IN 2 WHOLE DAYS - let's fix this please!!

aid is stopped altogether from entering northern gaza all the way back in february (that's 7 months ago, for anyone who's not keeping track), and it gets some lackluster headlines about israel "temporarily preventing supplies" (they have yet to allow any aid trucks through to this day). the ipc declares that north gaza is officially in the famine/catastrophe category not long after, and that also barely gets any western media attention. now the un has announced it has halted aid altogether, because of israel's sporadic evacuation orders and carpet bombing - and literally crickets. no major outlet is talking about it. this is giving the illusion that things have calmed down, when in reality they're the most dangerous they've ever been. people are starving and dying every day

asking you all to please continue donating to and sharing hazem's fundraiser, as his family in north gaza is being impacted by all this in live time. his parents and siblings (whom are literal children) live right by an aid distribution center, which is being regularly targeted by the iof every single day. this is not news. israel has been using starvation as one of its main terrorist tactics for months on end now. this is why it baffles me that hazem's fundraiser has completely flatlined. the difference between one donation and the next could cost his starving family their lives. please don't falter on this just because you're under the false impression that things have calmed down - or because you're struggling to care. things are worse than they've ever been. please, please spare what you can and share so more people can donate as well. this is incredibly time sensitive, but people are lacking much needed urgency.

there's only been 5 donations in the past 3 hours. this is extremely frightening for Hazem and his family. please stand up for them.

we're less than half away from the goal, and they need our help in order to reach it. please donate what you can, enter these raffles for donors (handmade bracelets with freshwater pearls for UK donors, spheal crocheted pokemon raffle for US donors).

€25,940 raised of €50,000 goal as of August 30.

* Evil little goblin henchman, wringing his hands and cackling* Wig, your lordship. You’re serving so much cunt today, your horribleness. Shall I summon the besties?

this horrible woman keeps saying my headphone battery at ten percent charge soon in my ear but i never see her when i turn around

If you pull at the clit it actually comes out the pussy like a Nintendo DS stylus

palestinian culture isn't something for you to "consume". buying as many "palestinian themed" things as possible isn't being an ally. please focus on real life decolonization rather than being a performative ally. pay attention whether you are actually appreciating the culture or just consuming it for your own self interest and gain.

and at this point in time instead of buying another $20.00 kuffiyeh online or paying $50 plus s&h for a hoodie of Luffy holding a Palestinian Flag, please consider finding a family on the vetted fundraising list and donate. you will be doing so much more than contributing to cash grabs marketing off a genocide

Here's a comprehensive spreadsheet of vetted fundraisers to choose from.

Is that a lot of money to you?

If not, then please consider donating that amount to Safa'a and her family, who are desperate to escape the war in Gaza and start over. The fundraiser is in Euros, but a Dollar is worth an Euro, so you don't have to convert anything again! Just donate the same amount!

And if it is, then donate what you can - half an hour, ten minutes, whatever you can spare. Many small donations are what we're going for! And of course, if you can spare more hours for her, please do!

Please, let's help her out. Her fundraiser is vetted!
