Hello👋, I am Jamal Shamiya, 63 years old, from Gaza.🍉 I live in tents💔. My house was bombed. I suffered fractures in my waist and had to leave. I also suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure. 😭 I used to work as a lawyer, but with the war my work stopped and I have no monthly income. 😟All my children are with me in the tents and were exposed to the same conditions💔. There is no healthy food or clean water, and I am responsible for all of that. They have children.😟 My wife is stuck in Egypt.She went for a specific surgery and no one was there with her. She also suffered a broken hand. She does not have the income to buy the necessary medicines 🙏🚨. Please donate $20, equivalent to 220 Swedish Krona, my link is in my bio, and help us share our campaign so we can evacuate. Sorry if it took so long. I hope you sympathize with us.

Cyclamen libanoticum (Lebanon cyclamen) is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae. It is native to a small area in the mountains of Lebanon, northeast of Beirut.

I started this drawing of @peonycats Lebanon oc a while ago, when my family in Lebanon has barely just managed to escape. Thankfully, my aunt, uncles, and three little cousins got out with their lives. I've worked on this piece on and off in these past weeks as I followed the news, and although I'm grateful a ceasefire has technically been reached, Isreal continued to violate it. I just hope that one day my cousins will be able to live in their home country and not have to be afraid of this happening ever again. I want to thank Peony for letting me draw their Lebanon and for making such a wonderful oc of him, and also wanted to ask any of you with the means to please consider donating to the Lebanese Food Bank and Gaza Soup Kitchen.

Do you think Aph China woulded like Wu Zetian,or he would acted like every single male in ancient China?(I heard a lot of mens used to hate her)

well he's not single, so *ba dum tss*

all joking aside, I'm not entirely sure what his opinions on her would've been? he's certainly not immune to the biases and prejudices of the time, but as a particularly long lived individual, he would've seen powerful female rulers come and go all the time, so might've been less Affronted and Scandalized, and yknow what he can always appreciate a shrewd politician, even if she wasn't perfect, like any other person, lol

Sudan is one of the richest countries in the world. I do not say this lightly. Rich fertile soils, with unbelievable agriculture. Sudan fed the entire SWANA region. The lamb which Saudi Arabians take pride in was imported from Sudan.

And thanks to the United States of Amerikkka and the Emirati demons in chief, it is in famine.

May we see a Free Sudan soon. Free from American, Western imperialism, and free from arab supremacist violence, and free from capitalist exploitation. May Sudan return to its former beauty, may its people never see another generation marred and scarred by war again.

Hk and Macau have very close relationship, even during the middle neolithic era, they had really tight trading relations.

Hong Kong counts for 1/4th of Macau tourists.

While I imagine them more as friends, maybe pushing brotherhood

Though Macau is naturally very flirty and charming, so he'll casually flirt with Hong Kong, but neither of them take it seriously.

Very friends with benefits.

Macau doesn't necessarily agree with Hong Kong's disagreements with Yao. He sees Hong Kong as taking everything much too seriously (a sentiment I don't agree with) and being too difficult.

This is so juicy anon thank you for writing this in 🙏and I want to take the time right now to mention that I personally also don't consider Macau and Hong Kong to be siblings, despite the fact that they have a lot of similarities, and would both probably regard a hypothetical Guangdong personification as a somewhat maternal figure due to them both being Cantonese personifications. Macau came into being significantly earlier than Hong Kong did, and the two wound up being raised in drastically different circles, the Portuguese and British Empires respectively, and subsequently, didn't and don't see each other as siblings, even if they have a lot of political and historical parallels.

anyways thank you for ur vision anon im so sorry for taking so long to respond to this and this is making me want to flesh out hkmac's relationship more🫡🫡🫡

so i didn't contribute monetarily outside esims, and general aid to pcrf and msf for almost 8 months into the genocide, partly bc giving to an individual gofundme seemed like making a choice between who deserved my sympathy but mostly because i felt really conflicted about giving money that would go towards lining the pockets of price gouging suppliers and egyptian border guards. the problem was that for the first 6 months i still saw something like the 2023 status quo possible wrt gaza, of international aid continuing to enter gaza but on a drip feed. but now i have conceded that the global left is not capable of helping palestine in any structured way and israel will let aid rot on the border and nobody will stop them. you might as well help the people you can.

i had an almost identical experience during the massive oxygen and bed shortages in new delhi during covid. initially, we donated to relief groups organising oxygen supplies, but then the infrastructure kept collapsing with no end in sight and the only thing you could do for people was help them pay the massive bribes being demanded to keep their families alive. we paid the bribe for my uncle and helped a school friend pay it for her father too.

anyways: plugging this gofundme to raise funds for a bone reconstruction and house rebuilding for muhammad atalla. organised by portugal based haruka aoki

ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem

With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see

do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive

(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)

I was checking on someone from Gaza and I asked them "how's the condition of the tent?" a question that really, really stung.

As Palestinians, whether or not we experienced living in tents and refugee camps first hand, tents have been a symbol of our initial displacement in 1948.

Finding myself asking this question to a Palestinian 76 years later really struck me.

Israel is a settler colonial entity, intent on disappearing Palestinians through massacres and displacement to make way for its expansionist project.

The fact that this is a question we are still having to ask is beyond heart-wrenching, but it also tells me that try as they might, we are rooted in this land and Israel's attempts have never deterred us.
