I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

Dr Tenma now available. After this I am going to be doing more testing artwise since there are so many options on how these can be made.

With the blockade imposed by Israel, it is extremely important to support grassroots organizations. They provide aid to multiple families on the ground. The Sameer Project is one organization. It is led by 4 Palestinians in the diaspora and Gazans are risking their lives while distributing the aid to ensure families are accommodated.

The Sameer Project provides food and shelter. As you know, the rainy season is persistent and many families have been displaced by the sea. The high tide has caused many to lose their tents, the only shelter they have. So please donate to the Sameer Project! With your support, they can branch out to families across the Strip!

Here is their Linktree, which also includes Venmo and PayPal.

just wanted to boost this nonprofit that buys and forgives people's medical debt in the US! considering all of the talk around healthcare I figured it might be timely. it doesn't solve the root problem, but it helps a lot of people in the meantime. they're a 4 star charity on charity navigator so they're pretty reputable as well.

These fellows say "it's good to be gay" on them. They are not heterosexual. If they are they're passionate allies

The fellow in the exact middle with the :O and U_U faces had their order cancelled, so if anyone feels so moved, snap em up

They've been snapped! Everyone else just enjoy this gay post

when i was brainstorming this fundraiser my absolute most optimistic, pie-in-the-sky dream was to break a thousand dollars raised. i thought probably i'd manage to raise five or six hundred bucks. but i just donated almost TWO THOUSAND dollars to trans continental pipeline!!! i honestly can't believe it! thank you ALL for the sticker purchases, likes, and reblogs - this is all YOU GUYS!!! i know the future is uncertain and scary, but hopefully we've just helped to make it a little less scary and a little less difficult for someone (or many someones) who need the help that TCP offers.

there's also still time to buy a sticker if you want to help break that $2k mark!! i'll still be donating all money made off the remaining sticker stock to TCP as they sell <3
