my friend siraj abudayeh (vetted on line 219), who i've posted about frequently, has been fundraising for his family's daily survival since june of this year. read more about him here, here, and here. follow him here: @siraj2024. he is a journalist who writes frequent updates about the situation in gaza, and it is always better to get the story from the source than filtered through a western lens.

as of about a week ago, he had raised over $90,000 CAD / $64,000 USD. he had withdrawn a portion of it to pay for various daily needs, medical care, and rent.

his fundraiser had been under investigation for a few weeks and the organizer, his cousin, even sent all of their government IDs to verify that they are real people.

despite this, gofundme deleted his fundraiser a week ago. he lost over $38,000 CAD ($27,000 USD). that is a monumental loss that would devastate anyone. but in gaza, it is the loss of a lifeline.

gofundme has a pattern of baselessly investigating and terminating fundraisers benefiting palestinians, often waiting until the campaign has reached the end of its goal to terminate it and refund all donors, leaving the refugees in the dust.

in the hopes of continuing to keep his family alive while unchecked capitalism and gang violence in gaza are on the rise, and in the midst of constant bombardment, displacement, and death, siraj has opened another gofundme. this fundraiser is in his sister's name, and is being organized by a trusted friend of his who lives abroad. we hope it will not be met with the same fate as the old one.

if you donated to siraj's old gofundme, please request a refund and re-send the donation to the new link here

thank you

The tone of the messages that I have been getting from Gazans are increasingly desperate and negative. Can ICC end the siege? Can we talk about that. I know everyone is tired of boosting personal gofundmes

Urgent: stagnant campaign!

Please take a look at the gofundme for Mohammed Almadhoun @eazeldin and his family! Mohammed is a graphic designer from Gaza. He has been raising funds to evacuate his family since May, and is still less than 10% of the way to his goal.

Mohammed writes:

We are jobless, desperate, and fearful for our lives due to the continuous barbaric bombings. We feel as if we are waiting for our turn to die.

(instagram @/palestinian_survivor19)

He and his family are living in tents, exposed to epidemic diseases and unsanitary conditions along with daily bombings. They are suffering severely due to the shortages of food, water, and medicine.

In fact I never knew Firefox was a "niche" browser nowadays. When I started using it, it was used by about 20% of the internet, it was up to 30 something percent at one point. I have no idea why everybody started using Chrome and I don't care but I never switched at any point, why would I? it has a little fox.

sometimes you can tell that a person making a post has never in their life considered the concept that a trans woman might be butch. is there even a stigma against butches having high pitched voices??? definitely not one comparable to the stigma & scrutiny trans women’s voices face

if your discussion of North and South Korea does not start with the fact that the United States sent men to occupy and gun down the Korean people who wanted to exercise the right as a now-sovereign people to form their own democratic socialist republic (yeah yeah it's not As Based but look at the alternative), then you've completely lost the fucking plot.

Instead of granting freedom and democracy to the Korean people, the United States put into place a puppet government headed by Rhee Syngman, a rabid far-right capitalist anticommunist who was kicked out of 2 different anticolonial resistance for embezzling money. This is because the said dictator, who is responsible for massacring tens of, if not hundreds of thousands of his own people in order to ensure that his far-right regime faces no challenge from communists, was personally trained and ideologically coached by the OSS, the predecessor to the CIA.

The legacy of Rhee's rule would lead to decades of bloody dictatorships by Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan, among other would-be dictators that ruled for (relatively) shorter periods of time. If you do not understand that the anti-North sentiment brainwashed into the Korean people have been now 79 years in the making and that the policies for the first 53 years of division was hostility from a US-led dictatorship (whose support from the USA was contingent on said hostility towards the North), then you do not actually understand who is the bad actor in the region.

you must understand that if a cracker from the US in 2024 is homophobic then that's a personal flaw but if someone from 1953 in the Soviet Union was homophobic then that shows the depravity and barbarism of communist regimes and the authoritarian and regressive nature of their governments. Of course if the former is NOT from the US and the like 4 other acceptable countries OR is not white then they are homophobic because their culture is like that, religion is cancer, their country should be nuked and exterminated.

There is almost no food in northern Gaza.

Mahmoud Almadhoun and his family run a soup kitchen that feeds thousands of starving people for free. Acquiring in bulk means they can get more food for less and giving the food away alleviates the control food scalpers have over the market.

Please send them any money you can spare, especially if you have anxiety over picking between individual families that need help. The soup kitchen having more resources means they can feed more families and be bigger competition to food scalpers, driving down food prices over all.

Thank you for donating and sharing.

any post that implies butches are necessarily dysphoric about femininity; having boobs; having a high voice etc is inherently transmisogynistic. you can account for the large overlap between butch and transmasc without pretending butch transfems don’t exist all the time, i really shouldn’t have to explain why this is transmisogynistic.
