dear followers, i'm writing on the behalf of a woman, a sister, a mother, a grandmother, named wafaa who has been speaking to me on tumblr from the dire situation in gaza. i'm here to share her story, her plight with you, her campaign with you so you can help her. her house has been bombed, the place she grew up, her place of work, her husband's place of work has been bombed, where her children grew up, her family (three generations of people, which is 15 people including a newborn infant) doesn't have anywhere to go.
she has already lost precious people in her life, lost precious people who were her world, her sister, her brother's son... she can't bear to lose any more people than she already has! she is already wracked with a grief and sadness i genuinely cannot even begin to comprehend. none of us can. yet she still has hope in god that through us, people across the world, can help her family escape this situation. let us not let her down.
i know you're all struggling with money right now. already struggling with bills and food. but donate what you can afford, still. even if it's just a single dollar! because it all adds up, it all adds up in the end. when wafaa first contacted me i believe her campaign was at around €13,000 out of €50,000, but now it is at €21,465! it all adds up. we can keep this going, with donation matches, by spreading this campaign, sharing even if you can't donate. so please. help her family, with whatever little you can.

YOU ARE NOT SELFISH‼️
Vetted by : @sar-soor @communistchilchuck @90-ghost
and, this is a legitimate campaign. It's #174 on the list of fundraisers that have been verified by @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi .
Support a Family from Gaza During the War 🙏
Important 💢
Dear Friends,👋
My name is Ahmed Alanqer, and I live in Gaza with my wife Dina Almnasra and our four children. The war has destroyed our lives and made us live in constant fear. I have lost many family members, my life, my university, and my dearest loved ones. I don't know if I will survive or not. I fear becoming just a number in this long war, and I fear dying without meaning.
I accept death in Gaza, but I cannot bear to see what remains of my family die in front of me. We desperately need financial assistance to leave Gaza and protect my family.
Recently, Donations to our campaign have stopped, and I don't know why. I know many have stopped supporting Palestine due to the prolonged war, but please do not forget us. We ask you to share our story with your friends.
Every contribution, comment and donate can make a big difference.
Please contribute through our donation campaign link: https://gofund.me/35c30c67
Thank you for your support and prayers.Sincerely,🙏
@communistchilchuck @palipunk @fairuzfan @vakarians-babe @90-ghost @nabulsi @appsa @aria-ashryver @aces-and-angels @sayruq @baby-girl-aaron-dessner @ibtisams-blog @sar-soor @el-shab-hussein @elierlick @feluka @northgazaupdates @buttercupagere @palms-upturned @blackpearlblast

when I was younger I didn’t understand why “may you live in interesting times” was considered a curse in ancient greece.
I get it now.

It’s easy to forget but normally when a person posts nsfw they don’t get fucking laser beam disappeared off the website. They just get a warning on whatever post. When a trans girl or a black person gets laser beam disappeared off the website it is targeted.

hello, white tumblr user. before you is a serious post by a blogger of color about racism. if you are able to quietly reblog it without adding any bullshit, especially not anything starting with "as a white person-" you will be allowed to go free. the hardest challenge in your entire life begins now

Media literacy is at an all time low
Just saw a post that said Kojima games have no symbolism or meaning beyond, "It looks cool".
Kojima is the worst fucking creator you can apply that logic to because characters will sometimes break the 4th wall to tell you what it explicitly means

If some of you don’t understand why I’m so passionate about helping people understand the DIY and anti-consumerist themes of alternative fashion it’s because I just read an article about punk fashion that had a section dedicated to “shopping some of our punk favorites” that included a $53 pair of fishnet tights
I get my fishnets from the dollar store, I make jewelry out of safety pins and soda tablets cans, I buy “normal” looking clothing at thrift stores and cut it and sew it and wear it so it fits with my style. That’s what it’s about. When punks, goths, emos, scene kids, etc tell you that dressing this way should be cheap it’s because it IS. Don’t let big corporations tell you otherwise

Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.

I love to use my disability “as an excuse.” Fuck yeah my disability is an excuse. It’s the most valid excuse I have. I’m not helping you lift that box/etc because my disability would make it fucking painful. Not wanting to be in pain is a good enough reason. I’m not going to put myself in pain to comfort your sensibilities.
Yes I’m using my disability as an excuse because I refuse to hurt myself for you. If you’re mad about it you can cry! ❤️

disabled people are worth whatever cost or resources is needed to keep them alive. disabled people are worth it even if they don't live long. they're worth it even if they will need extra support and resources for every day of their life. they're worth it even if they spend all they life indoors. none of it is wasted. none of it is in vain. time, effort, money, resources spent on a life are not wasted. these things have served their purpose. the joy of someone's existence is not undermined by not lasting forever. there's no meaningful point, some threshold where you can say "okay this is enough. after that it's not worth it." it's always worth it.

we are so ableist about memory. people with good memory take for granted the fact that they can recall as much as they can, and use that to taunt, guilt and threaten people with memory issues. many neurotypes and mental illnesses cause memory lapses. traumatic brain injuries can cause memory lapses. brain cancer can cause memory lapses.
even if your memory is good, it's not right to guilt someone because they can't remember something. trust me, people with memory problems are desperately trying to remember: it's just that we literally can't. it is a very literal "i can't remember".

Who the fuck do you think made this flag?
And why the fuck do you think we made it?
I don't think the message could get any more obvious. Include us!
