This hospital was my father's only hope for medicine.💊💔
I wish I could find a medical alternative for my father somewhere else, but it would be very expensive.
So I hope that if you can't donate, you do share and maybe someone else will contribute.
Please share and donate🫂

NO TIME FOR A CANCER PATIENT AND A PREGNANT WOMAN DISPLACED TO KHAN YUNIS
I made a new post because the last post got a lot of notes and reblogs + donations were falling off. I’ve been speaking with Laila @lailashaqoura regularly, who has asked me to spread her family’s fundraisers. The first is for her immediate family, and the second is for her extended family, which her cousin Tala @talanassar has been helping to spread. These fundraisers haven’t met even a quarter of their goal. I’ve seen people work hard to raise lots of money when gofundme is about so shut down a fundraiser, and I’d say we whouldn’t have to wait until it’s too late, but the truth is, we already have. Laila’s mother is pregnant and struggling heavily, Tala has lost her father while her mother battles cancer, and all of the children in their family struggle with malnourishment and other health issues. They all need to escape Gaza and recieve medical attention NOW. It’s our obligation to help them. If you have anything to give, five dollars, a dollar, money you were going to use to buy coffee or video games, send it to Laila and Tala’s family to help them reach their goal and escape genocide. I’ve also seen other users do this- gofundme doesn’t accept less than one unit of a given currency, so if you truly only have less than a dollar to give, send it to my c-shapp $palentonga and I will split the combined cash between the two campaigns. My account is empty so I know it’ll all be meant for donations. It may not sound like much, but if each of the ~2000 people who reblogged the last post donated fifty cents, that would be $1000 towards thse campaigns. After you’ve donated, reblog this post to help spread it. Even if you can’t help much, or at all, do everything you can to help this post reach someone who can. Some generous soul donated $600 to Laila the other day, so it does matter that you reblog these posts to find people who can offer considerable help. I’m also offering artwork in exchange for donations to Laila and her family, examples below the cut, as is the account @creativesforpalestine and the users @worthyofmygrace and @theflowerpaw. If any other artists are interested in offering commissions for donations to this fundraiser, DM me and I will @ you on this post.
I’ve set a short-term goal for Laila’s campaign to reach 10k by the end of the week. Tala hasn’t reached 10k yet but is only a few hundred dollars away, and as such I’ve set 15k as the goal for this week. We should work to get Laila to 8k and Tala to 10k by the end of the day. Please, do everything you can to help them escape Gaza and begin their lives again.
$7,714- $2,186 TO $10K
$9,672- $328 TO $10K

I am Mohammed Alanqer married from Enas Majed we have 3 children
Amidst the ongoing war in Gaza, we find ourselves as a family trapped between walls of fear and despair. I, Mohammed, a father of three children and a husband to a woman in her eighth month of pregnancy, live in an environment filled with threats and risks.
My technology startup, which I built with dedication and hard work, was destroyed during this war, leading to the loss of our livelihood. My children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, no longer have the opportunity for education due to the destruction of schools, posing a significant threat to their future.
- "A souvenir photo of my startup company."-
My wife, Enas, lives in constant anxiety due to her advanced pregnancy and the destruction of hospitals in the area. After losing my job and source of income, I find myself in a severe financial crisis, unable to provide for the needs and safety of my family.
- "Me and my wife Enas majed "
Our family home was destroyed due to the war, forcing us to flee and move multiple times, leaving us homeless. Everything has become difficult now; we cannot provide a safe place to live, nor can we afford clean clothes and food for our children. Additionally, our children have been afflicted with diseases such as measles, and our son Adam has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis.
-" layan & sara & adam in the war" -
Our only hope now is to escape from this ongoing hell and find a safe haven for our family. However, this requires exorbitant financial costs, with the coordination fee for crossing borders amounting to $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, a sum I cannot afford alone.
- "My home before the war "-
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure the safety of our family
Thank you for your attention and support, and we hope you can help us in these difficult circumstances.
Thanks 😊@nabulsi 🙏❤️
Thanks 😊 @communistchilchuck ♥️🙏

I'm having a really rough day. I didn't get much sleep last night. Mice had a party and injured the power supply on the modem, which woke me up immediately because I have to have cartoons on a low volume to sleep. Anything with the Internet is a big deal because it's shared with therapists that do telehealth. I'm sure they think it's my dogs but it would have been much worse if the dogs had attacked it. They ate my hairdryer while I was spending the night in the hospital. It's an added stressor plus my Internet is pretty feeble just with my phone data.
The hospice nurse came. She said I was doing an awesome job with my mom's wounds. I had given my mom her painkiller an hour before the appointment and she slept on the front porch through most of it, there's a bench and I put a blanket and pillows. I wanted her to get some fresh air. She slept all afternoon.
The dogs did eat most of my paintbrushes during the appointment.
People kept asking if she was okay. No. She's dying but that's degenerative Alzheimer's. I wish people would let us be.
I'm really struggling with the inevitability. I really miss my mom, not her shell, but her.
She became extremely afraid about going back inside. I had to hold her up for 20 minutes in the threshold trying to convince her it was okay. My body hurts so much.
I want her to be present enough to hug and console me. No one else loves me unconditionally and when she goes no one will. I'll be alone. No family. No one who really LOVES me. I want her back, even as problematic as our dynamic may have been at times. She got me through two miscarriages. Let me be angry and blame her the loss too even though obviously she didn't cause them.
I paid my May rent. I don't have anything left for food now though. And my only remaining shoes were causalities of dog anxiety about twenty minutes ago. I really don't have a single other pair. I've never been a shoe girl so having one of all three pairs destroyed over the last 3 months made me shoeless.
Now I have to come up with June, phone, food, shoe, and paintbrush money.
I may be overwhelmed by the dogs but I can't withstand anymore loss even if it would be easier.

So I work at trader joes and as some of you may know TJS sells Israeli goods. Breads, cheeses, snacks, wine, etc. Wellllll recently there's been a big crackdown on lots of stuff especially individual expression. They took down our whiteboards and made it so that we aren't allowed to write on anything. We usually have chalk board lockers we can personalize and those have been replaced with sterile lockers we cannot personalize. We are also no longer allowed to wear bandanas because they have been used to make "political statements." I'm assuming they're referring to keffiyeh. I'm assuming this comes specifically from corporate trying to choke back and keep us from talking about Palestine.
I don't have much to say or any call to action other than maybe contact your trader joes or trader joes corporate and let them know how you feel about the sale of Israeli goods in their stores. Maybe also complain about how miserable your local trader joes employees seem as well. This company is always pretending to be so hippy dippy progressive but it's all for show. Don't fall for it.

We have heard all about cishet aro men (and i am grateful for that) but shoutout to cishet aro women too. I'm sure this "discourse" hasn't been easy for you either and just as much as aro men aren't "fuckboys", you aren't "sluts" for experiencing non-romantic, sexual attraction. You are queer too and the intersection between aromanticism and womanhood makes your voices a valuable part of this community.

I fucking hate watching a video of a black person doing their natural hair, showing some tips, how they achieve a style, etc and seeing that the top comment is "As a white, bald man, I don't know why i'm here but i watched the whole thing!😂" or "I'm white with bone straight hair, how did I end up here?" like my god, white people are so self-absorbed but in a much deeper way than I think they even fucking realize. Obviously, surface level it's already shitty, you see a video of a black person, and you feel the need to announce that your white ass is in the vicinity. "Let me make this about ME" cause we can't have shit even in our spaces, you gotta let us know so we can look at you too.
But beyond that, it's actually really fucking weird and gross that ya'll are incapable of just seeing us as people, doing our thing, and taking that in as a normal thing alongside you in the world we live in. You see a black person styling an afro, and it is so outside of your normal, that you feel the need to point us out as an Other. It's not just that you can't relate, we're a spectacle. "Aha, isn't it funny that i'm here watching this negro pick out their hair?" maybe if you saw black people as any other person that is of equal to you in your world, you wouldn't see it as something so weird and bizarre for you to see. It's dehumanizing that you think you're such a Default Setting that when a minority ends up on your feed, it's so noteworthy it fills you with awe. And it's literally just a nigga combing their hair! Meanwhile, I know for myself and hella other black kids who grew up alternative, we were watching countless hair dying videos from young white girls, and at no point was it some mystical, abnormal sight. It just was what it was, some person doing their hair that we'd get the tips from. Ya'll just make me ill fr, there is no reason that on a black hair video, all the top comments are white people letting us know they're watching. We know ya'll have a weird fascination with our hair that you feel a need to point out, why the fuck do you think "don't touch my hair" has become a worldwide phrase from us, can you start seeing us as human, actually maybe. Humans that share the same planet as you do, not just the poor side characters you pretend to care about when it's trendy and otherwise pretend we don't exist in the same way as you do.

It enrages me everytime it dawns on me that there is no graduating class in Gaza this year.
How maddening it is to think that just last summer I watched as Al-Shaima Akram celebrated received the news that she got the highest score in all of Palestine in her high school examination, not knowing that come October, Israel will kill her and her family and all the joy that was left.
No tawjihi celebration videos will come out of Gaza this year and that is devastating.
Since October, Israel had destroyed every university in Gaza and destroyed 80% of schools, killing hundreds of teachers and professor and thousands of students in its deliberate attempt to destroy Gaza's education system along with everything else.
In the words of Gazan poet Khaled Juma "the school year that never started in Gaza has come to an end". No last day of school bells, no kids celebrating the last day of school. All these joyful sounds have been drowned out by the sounds of bombs. No deadline extension requests for final projects, missiles had their final say.
No graduation ceremonies when parents are instead burying their children. No plans are made for the summer either, when everyone is busy counting the days and the dead.

Journalistic Malpractice of BBC
The BBC published an article following the May 26 Israeli attack on displaced people’s tents in Gaza’s Rafah, reading: “Their operations so far have not resulted in a bloodbath,” referring to Israel’s actions in the southern besieged enclave.
The article soon drew outrage from internet users, and the paragraph making light of the deadly toll the Israeli attack had on civilian casualties has since been removed.
On May 26, Israeli forces launched airstrikes on a tent camp of displaced Palestinians, which was located in an area initially declared a ‘safe zone’ in Rafah.
When US-made bombs exploded in the congested tent city, it sparked a blaze which spread quickly amongst the flammable plastic tents, killing at least 45 people and leading to many civilians being ‘burned alive’.
The pictures and videos of dismembered and charred bodies – some of them belonging to babies – raised an international outcry as tens of thousands of people around the world took to the streets in protest.
Initially described by Israeli forces as a precision attack targeting senior Hamas leaders, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed the next day that it was a "tragic mistake.”

I've had a chat with a woman named Suad and she's trusted me to share her story with you all.
Suad is a young engineer from Gaza who was excelling in her field, and had recently been told that she is pregnant. She had a bright future ahead of her until disaster struck and Israel and their constant bombings destroyed everything she holds dear.
She and her husband are now living out of a tent like many Gazans now. They have had to struggle to find food and water, and not only this, but Suad is also trying to nurture an unborn baby without access to adequate food and the prenatal care that a pregnant mother needs.
She is fundraising now to get herself, along with her husband and their family members out of Gaza. They require $20,000 to get out of Gaza and an additional $8,000 for transfer costs and living expenses in Egypt.
(ID in Alt)
As of right now, they have made only $2,732 of their goal and their situation is urgent. Suad is now nearly 9th months along and will be giving birth to her child very soon in very dangerous conditions for both herself and the baby.
Please donate whatever you can to this fundraiser, and if you cannot donate, I urge you to share!

It has been 13 days since I left Gaza to save my children 💔
In that day tears filled my eyes and my heart stopped because I left it with my family in the war 😞💔
My young son said to me at that time, “Mama, I hope that God will write in the sky that anyone can travel without paying, so that we can go out with my grandmother and uncles🥹😭.”
- I hope that too my little and intelligent son, but i am trust that god will send people with kind hearts to help us🙏
Please Keep sharing as much as you can to help my family, i am so happy of your interactions my beautiful friends 🙏🙏🌸🤍🤍

I love never shutting up about how much easier it was to live in Europe as an American used to fighting tooth and claw for literally every little bit of basic zoo animal comfort or basic dignity. like that was my main takeaway from my time in Berlin and Japan was how much more unreasonably unpleasant and difficult every single thing is in the USA compared to any other comparable country on earth, and not for any good reason. there is no good reason for any of it. there are reasons, they're just stuff like "all Americans believe being unlucky is a divine punishment that is criminal to interfere with, disagreeing with this default position is regarded as domestic terrorism" and not anything like most economists and centrist intellectuals believe to be the reasons, such as "the size and geography of the United States present unique problems insurmountable by european models" which sounds more rational than the thing about how interfering with suffering is a crime here but which is in fact the bullshit answer out of the two
