(copied from @dxckiii on Twitter) this could literally change everything.

They have begun a recount process. WAKE UP YOUR NEVADA FRIENDS AND MAKE SURE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CHECK iwillvote.com to make sure their ballot was counted. if it says it was denied, they need to call immediately.

Don't scroll past this. If there's any chance someone from Nevada is following you, they need to see it. Get this as far as possible. Be loud. I know it's easy to feel hopeless right now; god knows I was crying my eyes out for a good chunk of last night, but if there's even a shred of action we can take, we can't let it slip by.

If you know anyone in Nevada, please share this with them. Reblog it. Spread it far and wide, ASAP.

i was contacted by nader (@/abdalsalam1990) to help boost his family's campaign! vetted by @/gazavetters listed #4 on their spreadsheet.

the family is made up of abdul salam (26), his wife aya, his baby iman (only 1 years old!), his mother iman (49) and father ahmed (54), and his brothers mohammed (14), nader (17), and omar (21) all hoping to raise enough funds to be able to evacuate to a safer country where they don't need to live in fear everyday. on top of the stress of trying to survive the frequent bombings, nader told me he worries about the approaching winter and how they have nothing to keep themselves warm. acquiring food and medication is also a struggle they face, poor baby iman suffers from malnutrition and ahmed desperately needs medicine and surgery to help him fight cancer.

as of 10/26/24 they're at €20,949/€50,000. nader expressed that he would desperately like to reach the halfway point which is only €4051 away. if you can spare anything, even the bare minimum of €5 it really would make a huge difference ❤️

I do not know if polls really help with ‘engagement’ like the trends seem to suggest, but either way, it’s something fun before asking you to hear me out about something serious.

I have been chatting with Dina Alanqar @zinaanqar. 

She is currently in Gaza with her husband Ahmed and their four young children, the youngest only born in June. Like so many others, they lost their home in the north and have been displaced many times since. They’ve been struggling with lack of healthcare, clean water, hardships that I can hardly even imagine.

Their family needs funds for travel and accommodations when the opportunity to leave Gaza comes, and for their survival until then.

The GFM has been vetted, listed here on @/el-shab-hussein and @/nabulsi verified fundraiser doc, at 264.

We need to show up for one another in love and solidarity, especially amidst this genocide. Please donate if you can, and at least share if you cannot. They are close to their goal!

It's with a heavy but hopeful heart that I watch Palestinian families fundraiser on here, slowly accumulating the precious little money to go around that they need to survive. However, not everyone is so lucky. A lot of Palestinians that have not had that kind of luck, that did not get early verification, that did not get massive platforms behind them from large bloggers, have approached me in my inbox, asking me kindly to do what I can for them. It kills me that I have so little to give myself, but I've seen this platform collectively raise enough to change someone's life. I've made a list of Palestinian fundraisers that are extremely low on funds, in the hope that drawing attention to people who have not been lucky at all can help turn that luck around. I know most of us can't possibly give enough to get all of these families safe in one go. But please, reblog this list. Pick one or two fundraisers, give what you can, and then keep track of it. Slowly, collectively, we can make a difference in these people's lives. Share and donate as much as you can. https://docs.google.com/document/d/178EGDFKkHlh3y4TMVX82kqgITHsqtoMdNccI2f_94Os/edit?usp=sharing

Hello! Please direct your attention to this post. Today I will be sharing Lobna’s story. Lobna is 30 years old and she has 3 children and she lives in the Gaza Strip. She wishes dearly to help her children escape to a safer place but that is becoming increasingly difficult as the day goes on. Her 10 year old son Mohammed is injured and they do not have access to medical care. She has lost her home and now lives in a tent, I could not find any verification so please if you are able to please reblog and share the link. They are VERY far from their goal.

Aching in Ireland, while my Broken Heart is Held Hostage with my Family in Gaza

Before the ongoing horrific genocide in Gaza, I happened to be a PhD student at an Irish university collecting data for my research from universities in Gaza. Little did I know that being a student at an Irish university would be my only way to be saved from the horrible war. I was lucky and privileged, unlike my helpless family trapped in Gaza. Four months and a half into the war, my Irish supervisors and my family insisted that I should seize the opportunity to evacuate to Ireland while I still could.

Setting foot outside Gaza felt like leaving hell and entering a whole new world. People walk carefree in the streets not fearing being killed by an airstrike! They go for a run in the morning and walk their dogs! They go to school and work and live a normal life I had been deprived of for so long! I see people talking and laughing and cannot help but have the daunting thoughts that the next airstrike could kill all of my family members in Gaza.

A horrible mixture of fear, depression, survival guilt, and agony engulfs me and paralyzes my entire life as I watch the news while being far away. Just a couple of days ago, 100 innocent people were killed in a school in Gaza where people sought shelter. I saw pictures and videos of people carrying the burned meat of their family members instead of whole corpses. Could our world be more evil, insensitive, desensitized, and cruel?

My heart skips a beat every time I hear that the neighborhood where my family has been displaced was bombed! What if they are running out of luck as I write these words and the next indiscriminate bombing will end their lives?! Therefore, evacuation is a dire need and a matter of life and death at this point as the genocide and massacres continue unabated.

I am desperately trying to protect my family from this genocide just as you would do if you were in my place. I plan to evacuate them to Egypt as a first step in the hope of reuniting with them in Ireland where we can have a dignified safe life together away from the missiles, bombs, corpses, diseases, polluted water, and pain of loss. We love Gaza more than anything in the world, but I can not accept carrying them as burned meat in plastic bags like I see all the time in the news and social media.

Please find it in your heart to help me save my family by donating, reblogging, and sharing.

I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it. 

It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.

Dear Friends,

My family in Northern Gaza is enduring severe hardship. With power and communication outages, they face darkness and isolation. They struggle daily with a shortage of food, vegetables, and safe drinking water. Long waits in water queues and diseases from contaminated water are part of their daily reality.

Hospitals have been destroyed, and they now live in tents under the harsh summer heat. My siblings, once top students, are now focused on finding basic necessities instead of their studies, which adds to their suffering.

Seeing their gaunt faces and the brutal scenes they witness daily is heart-wrenching. I wonder: Will the children of Gaza ever escape these horrors?

Thanks to your generous support, we've raised €6,513 of our €50,000 goal, covering the initial coordination for my younger brother. I’m deeply grateful for your contributions and help in spreading the campaign. However, we still need to secure the rest of the family.

Our next goal is to raise an additional €3,487 by the end of this week to reach a total of €10,000. This amount will cover the costs for both my younger brother and sister.

Our campaign is verified by el-shab-hussein and is listed on their vetted fundraisers at #281, line 285.

Please continue to support and share the campaign. Every share and donation helps reduce their suffering and brings us closer to our goal.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

i am going to tell you guys something and it's going to sound made up but i need you to believe me just this once

[oceanicheartbreak]

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.
