Hello, I am Hane from Gaza, Palestine, I speak to you with a sad and heavy 🥺 heart about what happened to me and my family.I was seriously injured in the war on Gaza and did not receive treatment from the moment, I am married and have three children, Abdullah, Salma and Saleh and my wife gave birth to a baby girl named Tulip, but unfortunately she died at birth from the effects of war and famine, since more than a year I have not been able to buy my children's needs such as milk and life necessities. We live in a torn tent and💔😭 winter has come and the bitter cold is hitting my children very cold, because we do not have winter coats and winter clothes, we lost everything we have in our house destroyed in the war, please my friend do not ignore my story, donate and share my campaign I will be grateful to you 🫶

Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #99 ) ✅

There are ads here on tumblr as well. Tiktok is putting warnings on videos of people who are only mentioning what is happening in palestine. Instagram is deleting accounts of people who are reporting straight from gaza.

Biden questioned the number of deaths reported in Gaza, after which the health ministry came out with a report over 200 hundred pages long with personal information on the killed individuals.

24 journalists have been killed in 21 days.

Yesterday internet and phone services in Gaza went down, due to the heavy bombardments.

The voice of the people in palestine is being silenced in every way you can imagine.

So the least you can do, is share what is going on. Use all your platforms. Even this one.

Please stop for a moment

Hello

I am Nour, a Palestinian girl from Gaza. I am 5 years old. We were displaced from our home after the occupation bombed. We were displaced to southern Gaza. I, my father, my mother, and my grandmother, who also lives with us.

And the three sisters: Bana, Dana and Menna

I saw the ravages of death on the way to the south, where I had to walk long distances on my feet .....

After arriving in southern Gaza, we saw all forms of suffering. After living in a tent for 8 months, we do not have any necessities for life. My sisters and I suffer from illness and weight loss due to malnutrition and lack of it. There is no source of livelihood for my father, who lost his job there in Gaza.

Sometimes words cannot describe what happens

We need your help and support to provide a better life for me and my family

Who suffers from all aspects of life

Please help me share

The situation in Gaza has affected us greatly 🇵🇸🍉, forcing us to leave our homes 🏘️ and look for new shelter 🚶‍♂️. In southern Gaza, Khan Younis, in a small tent, with the onset of winter

Life in southern Gaza is hell and we live in a tragic situation with the onset of winter while we are in tents

We face daily financial difficulties 💰 that make things even more complicated 🧳.

My goal is to raise 9000💵 to ease these financial burdens, and there are only 350euros left to reach this amount 🏁.

Every support, no matter how small 💫, will make a huge impact in helping us 🤲.

honestly my mother was a huge champ about her eight-year-old asking to be bought an unabridged edition of the Odyssey for a birthday present, and then she was an equally huge champ about reading her eight-year-old the unabridged Odyssey as a bedtime story and pausing every four lines to define something for me, and let me just say that I have fucking TREASURED the opportunity to reverse that old tradition by more or less forcing her to sit on my couch and listen to Epic and pause it every four lines for my dissertation

Over and Over Again

Audio: Would you fall in love again? (Epic the musical)

Here’s a little thing I’ve been working on for the past few days :) I saw people using this audio on tiktok for the aus in their fandoms and I thought that it’d be perfect for Jack and Dave because everyone seems to have their own design/take on them.

I’m gonna rattle the owners of these designs rq because everyone should go show them some love. I picked designs I particularly liked so I know they’re good 👍

In order: Me ( @snugg-slugg ), @poopingonthefloor, @dexabite, @mmoccachino, @kennelkorn, @anthrophobixx, @hyperlinkbl0cked, @kurobuu, basic ass Davetrap lol, Maddy.Waddy.Woo on discord, @freelance-spirit, and finally their canon hands :D

Happy new years y’all! (Let’s not talk about how I didn’t finish 12 days of chirstmas shahabbsns)

Looking in on fandoms from the outside is great, because you occasionally get to make casual observations to your friend like, "You guys apparently have a reverence for this man's pain and suffering that I usually associate with paintings of martyred saints. The artistry here is impressive and also more than a little bit horny."
