Hey, oomfies! This Eid, let’s spread some more love to Gaza. Grassroots orgs there are doing incredible work despite the many limitations...getting food, meds, and shelter to families who’ve lost everything. Even a few bucks can make a real difference. Donate the cost of a coffee!

Campaign for Palestinian Poet and Songwriter Yaser Hamad

Hello All,

My friend @mariampoetry wanted to host a donation campaign for Yaser Hamad!

Yaser is a Rafah native and a prolific poet, writing songs for big name Palestinians singers like Muhammad Assaf (who sang the iconic song, "Dammi Falastini")! Here's a song he wrote for Assaf called "Ya Banat Bladna," which praises the girls and women of Palestine and their steadfastness.

Yaser's fiance was killed early on in the genocide and now he lives in a tent with his two daughters. Within the coming week by Sunday April 6th, we hope to raise $1000 USD to send to Yaser's family.

For those who are not aware, Mariam, the organizer, is a dear friend of mine in real life and a renowned Palestinian poet herself. She has been doing these donation campaigns to raise money for various friends of hers in Gaza, focusing on highlighting artists and their amazing talent. She has successfully sent money to multiple Palestinian artists through these campaign drives and hopes that everyone would be willing to help out with another campaign.

Please do donate if you can, or even just spread the word!

hyperfixation so bad I returned to anatomy studies

After a certain point, the only conclusion a Gazan can make is that there is no humanity left in the world.

How can you believe in kindness when your entire world has turned to rubble twice over? When babies are shot down in front of their mothers by turrets? When you are denied the basics of life: food, water, shelter, and denied even the ability to find them yourself. Death becomes all you know. There is no space, no time, no energy left, with which to believe in kindness. 

But those not in Gaza, we cannot prove them right. We are still here to stand by the Palestinian people, to fight with them, to stand against barbarity, and for the cause of human life. At least, I think so. Why is it so hard to reblog a post? I do not mean to say you are a bad person, or guilt trip, but I ask you that simple question so that you think about the effort it takes for you to save a life. A movement of your thumb. A microsecond of your day. Does that change anything for you? And even more: do you know how much life is held in €5? An amount that can fall out of your pocket is life-sustaining to the people of Gaza, where gas is €80/kilo, where water is just as expensive as oil. 

Ghada Al-Anqar’s campaign sustains the lives of 14 people. The eldest generation, Nabil and Fatima; their children Ghada, Mohamed and his wife, Ahed and his wife, and Khaled, who is engaged; and the children, Fatima, Iman, Nabil, Lama, Amir, and little Noor, who just turned 2. 

Noor cries throughout the night as the bombs once again rain over her head and homeland. War is all she knows. But we have an opportunity to show her, to show the Al-Anqars, to show Gaza herself, that the world is with them. Kindness, love, solidarity will prevail.

Every euro counts. Every reblog counts. More than you could possibly ever know. Thank you for your continued support. Let's keep going.

26 March 2025

In a statement provided through her attorney, community activists said that Ozturk was “ambushed” by ICE agents on the way to an Iftar dinner with friends after leaving her apartment. Neighbors reported that unmarked cars had allegedly been surveilling the location for two days before apprehending her on the street, the statement said. Community activists said they did not know yet where Ozturk was being detained.

In an email statement sent to the Tufts community Tuesday night, Tufts University President Sunil Kumar said the school received reports that the student was taken into custody outside an off-campus apartment building in Somerville, though the email did not identify Ozturk by name.

…

Ozturk does not appear to be a leading figure of the Pro-Palestinian protest movement at Tufts. But according to Ozturk’s attorney, the student’s photo and other identifying information were recently posted on Canary Mission, a website that documents individuals and organizations it considers to be antisemitic. Pro-Palestinian protesters say the site has doxxed and targeted them.

In March 2024, Ozturk co-authored an op-ed in the Tufts Daily, the university’s student paper, criticizing the university’s response to the Pro-Palestinian movement and efforts by members of the student body to sever its ties to Israel.

I am so thankful that most of my Palestinian family members have survived, but the fact that some of them didn't (one of whom was a child only fifteen when he died) will weigh on my soul forever. And even through that suffering I know I am fortunate, for many more people have lost their families entirely, and even more have been killed. There isn't anything I can say that hasn't been already said, but please keep Palestinians in your heart in the coming days, and in the years after. Don't forget what has happened.

Please donate to Elaf Babiker and her family! They are Sudanese refugees who have evacuated and began rebuilding their lives in Egypt, but her aunt was diagnosed her with brain stem hematoma! This means her brain has been bleeding! She has been in intensive care, relying on the ventilator as she is unable to breathe on her own, but the doctors needed $1,700 USD for her month long stay in the hospital. Otherwise they will discontinue her treatment! So please donate and share! We have $961 left to go! You can match me. I have given $5, but you're more than welcome to give any amount!

Verification: #165 in the vetted fundraisers' spreadsheet by @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi. Also listed on sudanfunds.com!

please think of the disabled people of gaza. please think of the diabetic people of gaza. please think of the neurodivergent people of gaza. please think of those whose lives are relying on medicine that has either stopped coming in due to the blockade, or is available in such scarcity that its price has skyrocketed.

we're approaching winter. on top of the challenge of securing waterproof tents and sufficiently warm clothing, some diabetic people in gaza have stopped taking their insulin as they can no longer afford it. those who are able to acquire it for now know every shot may be their last.

It is true that the war has stopped, but the Israeli occupation fires daily from its machine guns towards us, as the bullets hit the walls and the ground. In addition to this, the crossings are closed and aid is prevented from entering. My family and I are suffering from bringing water, as it is difficult for us to obtain water in our area. Therefore, my friends, please help us and donate to us. Please donate.

oops this innocent private citizen claiming harassment was actually a public figure with an institutional role in maintaining a genocide and an apartheid state

[6oys]

Do other people in the world really believe the genocide is over or that conditions have improved? They began starving the North in March last year and then continued to starve the whole Strip for a year and now they are starving the whole Gaza Strip again this March, in Ramadan.

Genocide is an act of collective punishment and neglect of the most essential life sources.

In reality they began committing genocide against the people of Gaza the day that the siege on Gaza was imposed. What we continue to witness since Oct 7th is only the same genocide accelerated which I will never stop repeating.

Not only that, the murder by aircraft has not stopped. israel's fascist death machines are still hovering and threatening and firing and killing people in their tents, in their damaged homes, in cars, at people trying to rebuild...their thirst for Palestinian blood is literally infinite.

Even if the fire stopped, it would still be genocide. There is no such thing as an israeli ceasefire because they practice murder by freezing and starving and medically neglecting and physically and psychologically torturing Palestinians too.
