My name is Tarneem Sami, and I live in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of Gaza City with my three children. My husband, Ahmed, was killed while trying to get supplies for us. We have fled from place to place, living in constant fear amid severe shortages of food and medicine, hoping only to survive this brutal war.
Please help me. Please help me to save my children from hunger and diseases. We are suffering a lot

i think it is very silly to react to dropout's response like "why were people mad, you know the cast and crew are pro palestine" yeah exactly and if they weren't i don't think attempting to push a petition/boycott to them about this would do anything. the result of them acknowledging this was a net good. twenty thousand dollars
#dropout#this happened with critical role also#where people pushed the company from silence (apart from a few cast members liking ceasefire posts)#to making a 50k donation from the cr foundation#like yes online activism isn't everything but you can't deny the material good that you can achieve#by holding companies that pride themselves as being progressive to their standard that they set#do i think there were people in that crowd who were being overly cynical abt dropout's views. sure#like idt they deleted their discord so it would be harder to get feedback to them for one.#idt the time they took to make the statement was out of maliciousness#but having concerns abt people being on their shows who have expressed harmful views b4#is like. a perfectly valid thing to be concerned about.#dropout is a COMPANY it is not your FRIEND if you want to praise them for being progressive then hold them to that#because you are the audience it is catering to!

I feel like all of tumblr needs a crash course in "people go on the internet and tell lies" rn
#I get it I get the compulsion to want to help people in need#but if it's a blog that has only existed for a few days#and it's sending you a random message asking for money#it is 99.9% guaranteed to be a scammer#I thought this was like internet 101#but I have watched about a dozen go fund me inbox requests getting passed around#with zero effort of having vetted that the person sending the message is who they say they are#or that the money is going to where it needs to#there are literally three or four posts floating around here that have links to verified donation channels#if you want to help Palestine#there's friends of friends who have family that you can actually reach out to#and ask “how can I help”#but if it's some random who you don't know from adam#and you do nothing to vet them#I'm sorry to say you're a sucker

negative connotations to Arabic phrase ‘God is Great’ incorrect. average praying Muslim does takbir (says Allahu Akbar) a minimum 95 times a day and should have been counted.
#minimum#like MIMIMUM.#each day#like that’s just for the 5 prayers#only the obligatory ones it doesn’t include the additional voluntary ones most people also tend to do at some point#it doesn’t include regular use of the phrase in conversation#the phrase is literally used as an exclamation#like if you say ‘Allahu akbar my shift is over! I can go home alhumdulilah!’#like I don’t know what to tell you#western news-media connotations are so weird#you literally yell takbir to celebrate as well#saw a thing where everyone did takbir every time someone donated a huge amount to charity like brooooooooo#people be laughing so hard and getting Allahuakbar Allahuakbar out while wheezing#you score a goal? Allahu akbar alhumdulilah#this is very normal culturally transmitted info#Christian Arabs use the phrase as well like it's Arabic come on western media you’re not even trying#it’s such a joke#95 doesn't even include the 2 calls to prayer#it doesn't count people who do the extra allahu akbar (x33) after each prayer#doesn't include anything recited before bed#like. these are not uncommon things people choose to do. like...... BRO???#if you've ever seen Muslims praying in a group the person leading the prayer does the takbir out loud. that's literally how it's done#there are like 7 or 5 'Allahu akbar's in each round of prayer#you can't NOT say that part out loud it's literally THE part that has to be said out loud in each prayer#this information is very available online#you can say it before doing anything idk why it became a big deal in the west especially#it's some strange xenophobic Islamophobic normalise killings in those regions of the world mix#I’ve been getting recommended so many Arabic anime edits idk what to tell you#call everyone habibi it’s good for you#one of the most popular world languages fr

feeling very very resentful over the dollar as a currency and the way online payment processing systems cater to dollars while excluding everything else
#textposts#confession guys... i have been donating only via paypal or fundraisers i found in indonesian charity sites. i did this because gofundme#wouldnt accept my bank accounts#and even with paypal. a lot of the money i gave were eaten up considerably from the transfer fees from changing currencies#its crazy making and not in a good way that my five days worth of labor can only give someone a few bottles of water at best#and at least half of it would be pocketed by people who uphold an arbitrary concepts like national currencies so some parts of the#world could be richer than the rest at our expense#idk where to end this rant by saying usamericans are more obligated to send money to fundraisers because you are complicit and benefit from#this whole mess

Being so self-righteous that you refuse to listen to criticism about scams and believe any liar on the internet doesn't help victims, it just puts money in the pockets of thieves
Your acts of self-righteous wrath is vigilantly stamping out voices crying for justice and stealing money from victims to fill a con man's pocket
#if your piss on the poor reading comprehension is 'saying a scam exists is racism' then you have an inflated idea of what morality is#being critical of scammers who literally arent even palestinian and using stolen inages or ai#and being critical of the bots that soam my inbox in a way a real person never could#is LITERALLY not racism#its trying to warn people so they can gkve money to reputable places for ACTUAL victims knuckleheads#if it was racism they wouldnt care and they wouldnt be desperately showing alternative official places to donate#why does everyone think gofundme is the only place in the world they can donate my word#if you dont research where youre giving to make sure your money is being sent to a reputable place do you actually even care about them??#do you care about the people you claim to help or are you just patting yourself on the back for being such a good generous person

just so we're all clear i do check the fundraisers i reblog to make sure they're legitimate. many of them have the verification in the post itself, ie, "verified by [xyz user]" but i do look just in case.
#just posting this because yeah i have Seen the palestinian scammers posts from people and i think they are very bad faith#or relying on random facts to 'debunk' the legitimacy of a fundraiser that have pretty obvious explanations#“the gofundme isn't based in gaza” yeah because usually they're sponsored by someone out of the country#“they all write the same” they're probably not native english speakers and may be relying on google translate or easy#stock phrases#“there's a bunch of variations on the same guy” arabic names can get transliterated into english in many different ways#and many of the people who verify campaigns have called out scammers piggybacking off this cause before#well at the end of the day its your own money and you're responsible for where you donate#if you want to give it to UNRWA or PCRF then fair enough those organizations help too#i'd rather risk getting scammed out of $10 than risk mocking someone's fundraiser when they're in a desperate situation

So,
As I said earlier this week, I'm on vacation and hope to get around to some of your asks soon. But in the time I posted that and now, things happened, the world has blown up and the life my 67 year old friend and helper had in Oahu, is upended. I'm currently helping with relief efforts for Maui, and if anyone is so inclined, please see this link for a list of local Hawaiian charities that can get real help to people who most need it right now. It's a list made by native Hawaiians with confirmed charities on the top tabs.
#small psa#also for the anon who asked if I'm okay and had seen their ask#I see your asks and I'll get to the good ones soon#sometimes life intrudes and life is rude#I've split my vacation into two sections and will be done with this first section in the next couple days#I'll have more time then#Maui needs a lot of support right now#And my friend is shaken but fine. She doesn't need a GFM but the people of Maui need all the support they can get right now#If you have the means and just didn't know where to donate#please consult the link in the post#maui#maui wildfires#maui strong#hawaii

Do we know Miles's or any of the AM members' opinions on the genocide in Gaza? Like I love them to death, but the lack of response has reaaally been bothering me. Not to mention the amount of privilege in not carrying about politics *looking at you, Alex*. I've seen Louise being pro-Israel.
OHHHHH anon i've been WAITING to talk about this. thank you for the question.
the answer is no we don't. to my knowledge, none of the members have openly talked about it. there has been no story on their official instagram, nor has matt (the only one with a public profile) posted anything about it on his account. not only that, but i did some research and apparently that benefit concert that him, tyler parkford and josh homme took part in also hosted people like jesse hughes and sarah silverman who are more or less openly pro-israel. which doesn't mean *matt* is, it just means he's not careful who he's associating himself and his image with.
the others have stayed silent. and miles, too - who's so active on social media - has never even reposted anything about it. not a word.
about the girlfriends, louise (and amanda) have spoken about "wanting peace" and louise especially has reposted some stupid ass posts a few months ago basically saying it's not "childish" to just wish peace for everyone - proving that she literally knows nothing about what has been happening for DECADES. both her and amanda have repeatedly proven they're centrists, which is just so. yikes.
the only one among all of them who has openly and almost immediately asked for a ceasefire is katie.
i've seen some people argue that the royal albert hall proceeds have gone to the war child association, but honestly - that's not enough. that was before, and even though knowing that is better than nothing, something they did in the past doesn't justify their lack of a statement on the genocide in the present. the fact that they're not even active on social media - just because they're too lazy to get someone to properly manage their account - isn't an excuse for staying silent.
whether they like it or not, they're celebrities. they have a platform they could use and they repeatedly choose not to use it. i love them but for the past few months i've been beyond disappointed in them.
#and then i see people on here shitting on other celebrities with bigger platforms for their lack of a statement#just because you have a weird personal vendetta against people like taylor swift and others (also their gfs)>#> doesn't mean our favs are looking any better. i'm hugely disappointed in her and all the other celebrities who have stayed silent#and i'm just as upsed with am. they're not an indie unknown band. they have 7.6 MILLION followers on ig#using their platform could actually do something#just bc they have a 'smaller' platform than other bigger celebrities doesn't mean they don't have one#they actually have SUCH a big platform#dan and phil did a stream and raised so much money and they have an even smaller platform can you imagine how much am could raise#or even simply do the bare minimum and post something to show where they stand. TALK about it. but they simply choose not to#and yeah they could be donating in private. we don't know. and that's exactly it. their silence makes us question them#and also. why is it that people on here only hold accountable for their silence the celebrities they don't personally like#but stay conveniently silent on am's and miles' lack of a statement? do i once again smell double standards?#again i love them as much as the next person but i will ALWAYS hold them accountable for their actions (or lack thereof)#answered

Hello,I am Amira from gaza, 23 years old, and the breadwinner for my family after my father's death. My mother has a weak immune system and suffers from the widespread diseases. We were displaced to southern Gaza after the heavy shelling, and our home was completely destroyed🍉🍉. Now, we are living in tents for displaced people.
Please help us by donating or sharing the link to our donation campaign to escape this danger and return to a safe life. May God bless you and reward you 🙏🙏.

Sincerely,
Amira

Obligatory fancier outfit that must be present anytime I post outfits

Hi 👋
I hope you are well 🤗
I'm writing to you and have full confidence in your urgent support and assistance to me.
My family is in great danger due to the war, and I'm create a GoFundMe campaign to save them.
Could you reblog the post about my campain, please? You will find out on my profile
Every reblog can make a difference in my family's life 🙏
Thank you for your kindness support ❤️☺️
That's completely fine. It may not feel it at the moment but I promise, God's blessing is with you and your family. You should not have to endure what you are enduring at all. I wish all of you a safe, illuminated future.
Their fundraiser is vetted, and (as of now) is roughly at €15,500/€35,000. This is mostly for escape, with the rest for bare-minimum living afterwards. This is half of the goal.
Hadeel is a pregnant woman who wants the safety of her 6 & 7 year old daughters, her unborn child, husband, mother and two brothers. She has already lost a lot of her family in this genocide. These people just want to leave and heal. They just want safety.
If this reaches you, please boost or donate whatever you can. Even a small amount adds up.
#free palestine#gofundme#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#i stand with palestine#save palestine#boost#people should not be living in a world where victims of war have to make and maintain their own online fundraisers#i dont know what else to add on#palestine#donate if you can#and just so we're clear: zionists are not welcome here.

dont you just love when creators on tumblr are like "actually, you, dear viewer, have a MORAL OBLIGATION to reblog my stuff if you like it!" like girl can i have a break
#can i enjoy anything without being moralized at#and being guilt tripped into acknowledging some sort of ethical responsibility#it really is not that deep#why are you manipulating me#why is it not “i wish people would reblog artists more” but “not reblogging artists is a moral failing”#ill tell you why its because if something makes you feel bad it's obviously other people's fault#same goes for like fanfic where i guess theres comment vs kudos discourse#miss me with that shit#personal#if you wanna support artists commission them and buy their stuff or donate#like god can you imagine anything that will take the fun out of fandom faster#oh shit lemme reblog this real quick i owe it to op#????#is that what you want your audience to be fucking thinking about#talk about entitled

If you fucking morons cared one ounce as much for palestine as you do for this horrid little show.
#SO YOU CAN ORGANIZE.#i am sick to death of people who love media more than real human people#I hope this show gets erased from streaming platforms and I hope everyone who donated to this instead of relief for an ongoing genocide-#-never feels anything but a deep sense of shame forever#ofmd renewal#star’s stuff#dl#HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTIONS DONT NEED YOUR FUCKING MONEY.#I’m sorry but also like. people just around you are suffering to. can you imagine what this 20k would do for a local food pantry#*too#it’s not so much where people’s individual money is going but it is. it’s the priorities. it’s the effort.#somehow your entertainment matters more to you and this is what you prioritize#y’all are sick in the heart genuinely#you all need to grow up and learn how to write and draw for yourselves to make what you wanna see instead of wasting your fucking money#commission an artist or fic writer with this money. you are doing more to help a fellow human out that way!!#and you get it tailored exactly to what you want without doing the work#AN AVERAGE OF $33 PER PERSON. holllyyyyyy SHIT

i gotta say
the people who put polls on donation posts for engagement feel like the same kind of people who make pertinent political posts and say shit like "don't ignore this you must reblog it or you're a bad person"
#this is not to degrade anyone who is asking for donations#cuz like shit sucks and you should get all the help you can if you need it that desperately#but it feels so manipulative to employ a tactic like that#this site is where i go to be silly and have fun. polls are easy to do that with#and similarly to the posts that are like ''hey some people don't want to engage w politics on their fandom space blog''#it's the same kind of sentiment of like Don't Guilt Trip People into doing something when they're just trying to have a good time#it just feels gross to have that happen to you
