i've been feeling incredible anger and frustration lately with these posts lamenting what the next four years will look like in the u.s., how much "worse" things will get under the trump administration, as if we haven't been witnessing a holocaust for the past year funded by the biden administration. if you have seen a single video from gaza, a single picture, read a feature from a gazan journalist, spoken to a single person in your inbox when they plead for your attention and help, words like "worse" or "better" turn to ash in your mouth. just yesterday my friend hilda texted me that even when her family manages to get food, smoke from the fire needed to cook aggravates her sinus allergies, making it difficult to breathe. this is how she's been living for the past year and a month, under a democrat-funded genocide.
below is a small fraction of the palestinians who have reached out to me for help with their campaigns. it is a huge source of shame to me that i can't keep up with all of the people in my inbox. please go to their accounts and read their stories. and please give what you can spare.

"'This persistent fuel stoppage has disrupted essential services, including the operation of water wells and desalination plants, leaving over 1.2 million citizens and displaced individuals in Khan Younis without potable and usable water.'" (source)
There's a catastrophic water crisis in Gaza right now, with most people trying to survive off of 1-2L a day for drinking, cooking, & cleaning. The humanitarian standard during emergency times is 15L minimum (most people in the global north use anywhere from 80-350L daily). The job of filling up water usually falls to young kids & its incredibly difficult, especially when they're malnourished and losing more energy and more water than they can get back in a day.
Fuel shortages make water difficult to pump or transport -> limits where water points are and how many (far to walk, long queues)
Water lines/sewage lines continue to be damaged, wells continue being poisoned, aquifers contaminated (by sewage/seawater)
UNRWA being pushed out of Gaza + little to no aid coming through further limits water availability
Faten (@/familyfaten) & her family are dealing not only with a severe water shortage but severe dehydration now too.
She desperately hopes to raise enough funds to be able to buy 2 large water tanks (1000L each) that will provide water to her family, the 3 others currently renting out the same house, and ~30 other households in the area. The longer these shortages go on, the greater the need there will be for these water points. (vetted here, #289)
Please donate what you can spare, this is incredibly urgent, not just for Faten & her loved ones, but their neighbours too.

this is your thanksgiving reminder that the chinook tribe is still fighting for federal recognition, which means they are unable to access programs and resources. please take some time today to sign their petition and donate if you’re able to. and if you live in washington or oregon please write to your elected officials.

Writing high fantasy is harder for me than it used to be because I'll write "The door swung open" and I'll imagine some tumblr user with three different grad degrees in medieval history dunking on me with a 2,000-word post about how door hinges weren't invented until 1956 and before that they'd just smash them open with axes and rebuild them each time.
