As the new year begins, I sit inside our cold tent and ask myself:

Do I even have the right to dream?

I dreamed of welcoming this year in a home that protects us, not in a fragile tent that shakes with every wind and lets the cold creep into our nights.

I dreamed that my children could sleep without fear, and wake up to the smell of bread — not the sound of bombing.

My wish was simple.

A small home. A safe roof. Warmth that feels like the homes we lost.

I wished I could vaccinate my children, protect their health, and shield them from illness the same way I try to shield them from war.

But the reality is heavier than my strength, and the war has taken away our choices and our time.

In this new year, I am not asking for the impossible.

I am asking for a kind hand, a compassionate heart, and help that can restore a piece of our humanity.

Maybe my wishes will come true.

Maybe my children will grow up remembering that someone stood by them in their darkest days.

We are still dreaming, despite everything.

And we still believe that kindness has not disappeared.🙏

My mother suffered severe bleeding during her surgery today and needs three units of blood. There are no units of blood in the hospital, and none of us can donate due to malnutrition.

Today I woke up to a terrifying message from my baby Qais’s doctor. He told me Qais’s wound will keep bleeding pus and blood unless his surgery is done urgently. I will not forgive anyone who scrolls past and keeps browsing without sharing my post.

I am a helpless mother in Gaza. I cannot afford the surgery or the medication. Every donation, no matter how small, could stop this bleeding and save my child’s life. Please donate for Qais.

Please don’t scroll past us in this critical moment; even a small share or donation could ease suffering and give Qais another chance.

hello! my name is A or illi and i am a disabled nonbinary lesbian escaping trafficking and domestic violence!

i previously only had no potable water, now i have no running water at all, not even to wash my hands.

my cash-app is spoiledmilkandhoney and my pay-pal is aureliaofthevalley at gmail dot com and my pay-pal dot me is amuletodenazar

please reblog this if you can't donate!!!!!!! it helps so much more than y'all realize!!!!!!! THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!

no donations in over 24 hrs and i have $20 rn

i still need to eat and still need to raise the rest of the baggage cost!!!!!!

as a briefer more direct appeal: if you have or can make a Twitter account & just comment on this post linked here with some variation of "@twitch @twitchsupport please review Lillies case" to help to get them to Maybe look, it would really mean the world to me.

Watching world militaries destroy civilians and feeling powerless is excruciating.

It makes you wish that there were SOMEONE who could stop it, SOMEONE with the power and the drive to do good. A superhero. Because what can regular old people like us with no government position or authority possibly do to help?

But remember that they WANT you to feel powerless. They want your heart so heavy that you can't bear the weight, they want you to be too depressed to do anything at all, they WANT you to believe there's nothing you can do. But they're wrong.

Donating to a campaign doesn't feel as dramatic an impact as being able to swoop in like a superhero and save someone from a burning building, but just because we don't see the impact of donations with our eyes doesn't mean it isn't saving lives.

Sharing their suffering means boosting their support. Sharing means remembering their pain. Sharing means we haven't taken our eyes off them. And we never will.

Help me continue to help @aahedandfamily family. His daughter need serious medical help. Help be their superhero.

To all trans men on this site, im gonna put you onto something. If you are in need of a binder but have unsupportive parents or are closeted, if you have a fondness for the ocean, or if youre bored with the normal colors of binder available, go to Waterlust and get a top

As you can see above, theyre all patterned like marine life, but theyre also reversible! One side has the pattern, the other is solid color, and they're all fun colors like blues and reds and greens, but some like the whale and tiger shark ones are more subtle grays and blacks. I have the whale shark one and the spongebob one (which was a limited run), and theyre both very well designed and printed. My spongebob one has served me for roughly four years and it hasn't worn at all.

What really matters? The binding power, and these things are great. I'm a triple D cup and with a medium I look like I have subtle pecs. They're also much less compressive than other binders due to their materials (which are mostly recycled!), so you can wear them for longer without getting sore. When I did more intensive theater and band performances, I could still act, dance, and play bari sax without getting winded or hurting myself. They're also swim tops, and I've scuba dived in these as well comfortably.

If that wasn't all, proceeds from each purchase are donated towards marine conservation and education initiatives! Purchasing shark printed ones specifically donate to shark studies and conservation orgs, parrotfish and coral prints support coral restoration initiatives, and so on. The high price tag is for a good reason.

Overall, if you're looking for an all around good binder, one that matches your whimsey and supports a good cause, Waterlust is the place to go.

Angelina Jolie: What is happening in the Gaza Strip is genocide, and Gaza has become a mass grave for its inhabitants and for those who come to help it.

What is happening in Gaza is genocide and ethnic cleansing. Since October 7, 2023, more than 85,000 tons of highly explosive materials have been dropped on Gaza City, its people, and on our heads. The war has not stopped, even with the sham ceasefire claimed by the Israeli occupation forces. Every day there are deaths, injuries, destruction, displacement, and forced migration.

What we have witnessed over the past two years has been so terrifying and frightening that it cannot be described in a post or a voice message. What we have gone through cannot be described; it must be lived. We have endured so much, lost so much, and suffered so much. (Please) help us so that we can leave Gaza and survive until that day. Life here is unbearable, and everything is expensive. Please, please, please donate. If you cannot donate, please share this, send it to a friend, or do anything to help us. Please.

Settler-colonial projects will always lie and break treaties and agreements. They make up their own rules and then break them constantly. The ceasefire agreement Israel signed in October is no exception. Here are five promises made, and what their behavior has actually been.

Every time Israel blocks aid, the cost of food surges. This forced scarcity is a major driver of starvation in Gaza.

Since the ceasefire agreement, Israelis have blocked well over half of aid trucks, and now they are banning thirty-seven organizations from providing aid in Gaza.

Already the people of Gaza are feeling the impacts of this. My friend Ahmed told me, "we have been hungry for 3 or 4 days because food prices have increased due to the border closures."

Ahmed (@ahmedaldani333, gazavetters #198) is still a growing teenager. He needs healthy, filling food. His body is still recovering from the effects of malnutrition after the previous blockade. This return to the price of food soaring is dangerous and psychologically traumatic.

His entire family is living in a tent that has been subject to repeated flooding, and they have been struggling to recover from sickness. The dramatic increase in the price of food means that now money that could have gone to medicine, warm clothing, or travel to receive needed medical care will have to be used just to prevent starvation.

Please donate what you can to help him and his family to get a filling meal as soon as possible.

I hope everyone will support us in this dire situation. We are currently living through the hardest days of our lives because we lack even the most basic necessities, including a safe and warm place to live. We are living in a tattered and completely destroyed tent that is barely standing. We are suffering from hunger because the crossings are still closed and no food is getting in. We are also suffering from severe illnesses and cannot afford medicine due to its high price and scarcity.

We are now hungry, sick, and cold. We need your help, friends, by donating so we can buy food and medicine, repair our tent, and escape from the devastated Gaza Strip. Please, friends, help us and donate to us.

Please help my friend Ahmed. His family has been suffering all winter, through the cold winds and flooding, in a tattered tent. They are struggling to get food and medicine--the most basic needs for survival. Please help them.

Please donate if you can!

please donate

Please do what you can to help Ahmed and his family

If you have anything you can give, please do. Every donation helps relieve his sickness and hunger. Every donation sustains his hope of survival for another week. It matters. It really does.

The weather will not let up, the seige against them has not backed down, so Ahmed and his family still need help. Please share what you can

If you want to stand up for transgender Canadians, then there's a petition to ask the federal government to repeal the acts signed into law that restrict transgender medical care for transgender youth:

You need only be a resident of Canada, not a citizen to sign. Please help us give transgender youth a fighting chance. Their medical care decisions should be between the handling physician and family only. This isn't a matter for politicians to decide.

hey, so I would he grateful if people living in Canada could sign this and if non-Canadians could signal boost, please.

The petition will be closed for signatures on February 16, 2026.

This needs to be boosted.

Imagine if the world was bold enough to do what it should have done

This is what happens in a strange world, and Trump and Niahwa want the world at will. This is so horrible In the past, Netanyahu has been sentenced to more than once to prison by a false international criminal court. Fuck Netanyahu Fuck Israel! I hate you.

For more than two years we have been dying, killing, starving, destroying our homes, and the world is silent. They kidnapped the president of Venezuela. And no one would dare to talk. Please, guys, donate to us, we need you most, please. Please donate.

guys, ibrahim needs support, please help if you can!

Please donate. I asked you to donate to me three days ago to buy me medicine and to buy blankets to get some warmth. No one responded. Please donate to me now.

Tomorrow is my birthday.

I don’t want gifts, cake, or a celebration.

After this war, I no longer want anything for myself.

On the day I was born, I ask for only one thing:

that your support and donations continue not for me, but for my children.

So I can provide them with food, water, and clothing,

and give them what was taken from them by force: a sense of safety.

My birthday this year is not about joy,

but about survival.

And whoever reaches out today is not giving charity

they are giving life.

American actress Angelina Jolie visited the Rafah crossing yesterday, on January 2, 2026, to observe the humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza. Having someone with such influence by our side gives us a sense of hope and happiness in these difficult times.

I have collected an up-to-date list here.

“Children on our side don’t grow up.”

-A child from Gaza, quoted by Jackie Chan

Jackie Chan said he watched a video of a boy from Gaza. “As soon as I saw that child speak, I started crying.”

When he was asked: “What will you be when you grow up?”

The child replied:

“Children on our side don’t grow up.”

That sentence had no emotion.

No tears. Just truth.

Growing old is a form of happiness many children in Gaza are never allowed to reach.

spoke calmly about a future he may never reach."Children in Gaza don’t grow up."

They survive - if they can.

If you’re reading this, you can help.

Four children in Gaza are depending on kindness like yours.

GoFundMe - Verified #644

If you can't change anything, that's not true. You can do so much. Everyone can share this. Some can donate so that four children in Gaza can live in safety.
