I would like to share with you a video by two people that I've gotten to know over the last couple of months. Hadeel and Abed (@twogazans) are two young people who are engaged and want nothing more than to get married and restore their business.

They have been sharing their life in Gaza on Youtube and I recommend you check them out, but please watch the video below first. It was filmed about a month ago when the ceasefire deal was first announced. They share their thoughts and feelings, their hopes and dreams, their desire for safety and freedom, for the small things, as well as their fears for what they will find and experience, the people they have lost, the experiences and memories they have to reckon with.

It is both wonderful to see their faces light up, as well as sobering to hear them speak about their losses.

They speak in Arabic, but you can put on automated closed captions, which will either immediately auto-translate to your own language, or create automated Arabic closed captions, which you can then ask to be auto-translated in the settings menu. It's not perfect, but it definitely gets the message across.

At the end of the video they ask us not to forget them, the people in Gaza. Do not forget to provide moral and financial support as they try to rebuild their lives as well as their homes.

Hadeel and Abed also have a fundraiser of their own, which they've had to restart recently because they had to find someone who would be able to host the fundraiser for them. Luckily, they were able to find someone in the US who could do so.

Hadeel and Abed have been verified by @gazavetters! They are #324 on their spreadsheet, which you can find linked in their pinned post.

The spreadsheet still links to their old fundraiser, which is now closed down. However, if you go to old posts by @twogazans, you will find that old fundraiser still linked, such as for example in this post. You can compare that link to the one in the gazavetters spreadsheet and you will see it is the same one.

Because they have recently had to restart their fundraiser, they are still very low on funds! Only $262 has been raised and the last donation was over two weeks ago!

If you are able to donate, then please do, and please share this post so others who might be able to donate might see it.

No one wants to leave the country they grew up in, but news like this shows how difficult it is to live in Gaza with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.

So I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my father can get treatment abroad. I beg everyone who sees this to either donate or participate so that we can get out of this nightmare.

Hello my friends, I hope you are well. I need your help. My father has cancer, as you know, and get the medication is very difficult So I beg you, and also do not forget the suffering of water, as we are in a cut-off area. We need 1000 euros We do not want it from one person, but if every person donates a small amount, we will achieve it easily So I ask you, my friends.

We are in pain, hunger and oppression and the planes never stop. So I beg you, my friends, to provide us with our daily bread and drink only. Think for one minute and donate if you can.

Hello friends, it's the real and important time to help. The war has ended, but the suffering has not ended. The suffering has actually begun now 💔😭 Everything has become difficult and extremely difficult, but we will not lose hope. I am now in dire need of your help. Now there is hope to leave the sector and start a happy life again, but my transfers on gofundme have stopped for a long time and I have only received about 10 thousand of the total amount 😭💔

So now I am in dire need of your donations and your help again on my new campaign chuffed. Please, I am in dire need of you 🙏❤️

Ibrahim is a young man of 15 years old. He is responsible for his family and his father who is sick with cancer and had surgery yesterday and his mother who is sick with diabetes. Please he needs any help. Ibrahim is the one who does all the tasks and there is no one else. In the last few days he was injured in the neck and could not move. Help. If you can help and donate anything, donate. The war is not over yet and the suffering continues. The Israeli occupation is more than ready to kill innocent Palestinians like Ibrahim and his family. Think for five minutes, my friend, in order to donate. That's all. He is an innocent child who is not guilty of this. Donate and make him happy.

My father was sick with cancer and went to the hospital to undergo his surgery until he had run it in a tent because there are no hospitals.

My father's new operation will be in the next two days. This is his third operation. My father is a cancer patient and he has to undergo surgery every 3 months. This is difficult for a 55-year-old person. The possibilities are still limited and the crossings are closed. Our only chance to treat him is to get him out of Gaza. We need your support and help to do this. Please donate.

🧐 a thesis on dracula!? Please share !!

oh i wrote my undergrad thesis on dracula and get out, using their structural/narrative similarities to explain how the monsters and protags in those stories are essentially inverse of each other. johnathan is chris and the armitages are dracula but chris and dracula both represent the other while the mina crew and the armitages both represent normal white liberal society. so they're reversed. i'm summarizing it instead of linking you to it because the page limit made me feel like i was stopped midsentence and that's always been my issue with my thesis fjjdhdjbd
