Noor's family of five once had a beautiful home, but it was destroyed by bombs and war. Because of constant displacement, she and her family have little left. Her children have few clothes and are sick! They live in a tent. Food is getting more expensive. Winter is on the horizon. They need your help!

Her daughter Rajaa was infected with hepatitis from malnutrition, her eldest son Hussein can no longer go to school, and her baby boy Youssef needs milk, diapers, and clean drinking water. Her husband, Ashraf suffered from a shoulder injury at the beginning of the war, and has lost his job because the place where he worked was destroyed—he worked as a math teacher at a school.

Noor's donation campaign is a testament to her strength and resilience. She struggles to communicate with me because of internet issues in Gaza, but has nonetheless conveyed this message, which I will now share with you:

"We will continue to live, continue to love, and continue to dream of a better tomorrow."

She loves her children, and thanks everyone who helps her. Please, she has raised only 24,270 / 40,000. I personally am so grateful to all who donated, but I will admit I am deeply saddened how much things have slowed. Like Noor, though, I believe in hope. I believe you can make a difference in her life, for her and her family.

Below, I have tagged individuals @nooranqar1 has requested me to. Her campaign is verified by @90-ghost, though her old account was deleted. See here: https://www.tumblr.com/90-ghost/753980516275994624/legit-fundraiser?source=share.

Listen, I know, you all have been seeing fundraiser posts all day long. I've seen people complain that the tags for Palestine are "unusable" now because… genocide victims use it to find aid to survive.

Thing is, those posts will be here until Israel ceases it's aggression. And Palestinians will need your aid as far as they are left with no income and besieged. I've tried reaching out to other platforms, and Tumblr is still the best place for at least Falastin (Gazan who I spotlight for more than 2 months) to get donations; because here you don't need thousands of followers to get interactions. And at least we get one in ten response here; on other platforms both of us don't get any.

So yes, a dying website for fandom is her best bet to save her family right now. We don't speak of evacuation anymore (even though we hope for it), this is a battle for day-to-day survival. The prices in Gaza are increasing every hour, and they have no income and Falastin has gone into multiple debts to help them before starting the campaign in June. And yes, she receives more attention now but her family is still in starvation - she tries to support 26 people now, since her cousin was martyred and his 2 children joined 24 of her family in Al-Mawasy.

Yes, they should get free aid from all those countless non-profits that raise millions. But if they see something labelled as "aid" it is because they have bought it themselves. Yes, you can see (and maybe touch!) aid if you subject yourself to hours-long queues and/or humiliation of being a part of a photoshoot. They also said that the aid they get is stale at best and spoiled at worst; and that's again, if they get it.

Yes, there are grassroots organizations but they cannot reach everyone, because they are in small teams and they don't receive a lot of funds. And you can of course donate to them to try "fix" this; but please do not think that it means individual fundraisers are not worth supporting. I did not see any evidence of individual fundraisers "taking" money from others; on the contrary, when Falastin's fundraiser struggles, I see others struggle too. When we celebrate a good day of donations we celebrate it with others too.

And I could talk about Harris campaign get 1 billion in donations and still receiving them or how AO3 got 200k in a couple of days; but the post is getting too long.

Anyway. Please consider donating to Falastin's campaign; the money would buy food and water first, shelter and clothes for the winter second. There's a raffle for hand-made Palestinian thobe that Falastin's friend makes (LINK); and please follow her here.

Vetting info: #282 in El-Shab-Hussein and Nabulsi's spreadsheet [here], #957 in the Butterfly Project spreadsheet [here]

[tungledotedu]

uh why the fuck would you say this

this post has 3000 notes and they get worse.

el-shab-hussein has already explained why he no longer shares how he vets individual fundraisers. scammers will use the information to be less obvious, making it more difficult to spot them.

and senatortedcruz's post has no actual proof of a widespread scam. that is a serious accusation to make, yet people are reblogging it and accepting it as true with no evidence. i won't deny that there are individual grifters on tumblr, but there are accounts like @/neechees, kyra45 and anonthescambuster that will help you avoid them. hussein even has a #scam alert tag for this purpose.

it's racist to spread misinformation about a supposed large-scale deception posing as fundraisers, not to mention dangerous because this makes it less likely for gazans to get what they need to survive and escape relentless airstrikes. we've already seen the consequences of this bias. some of these people are all too happy to be cops and harass or report gazans thinking they're bots or 'spamming' inboxes.

almost nobody on that post is encouraging others to donate to organisations or other vetted lists like those by operation olive branch, which has a faq sheet that explains how they verify fundraisers. i suspect this is an attempt to discourage people from helping palestinians altogether.

gazans are making fundraisers because they have no other choice. many of them cannot work and earn money as their workplaces have been destroyed. some have been disabled by injuries thanks to the iof's targeting of civilians. the fault is on israel for besieging them and on the egyptian government for exploiting their need to evacuate.

they're doing this for the same reason they have been posting photographs and videos of genocide so that people will pay attention to their suffering, so the world will not forget. is it such a leap in logic to understand they will also use social media to start fundraisers? do you just expect them to sit there and die in silence? so you can ignore them and your countries can keep arming israel as it commits atrocities?

WELCOME TO HERMIT-A-DAY MAY 2024!

I'm thrilled to bring this challenge to you all for the second year in a row! Hermit-a-Day May is a challenge inspired by Hermitober, but with a twist: instead of theme prompts, we focus on a specific Hermit every day!

THE RULES: 1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Hermit of the day. 2. Tag #hermitaday to have your fanwork reblogged, or submit it directly to the blog (Please note that while I recognize the value of fanworks involving more mature themes, and they can certainly count toward challenge completion if you're keeping track for yourself, content on this blog will be kept "PG-13" so that all may enjoy.). 3. Fanworks for one Hermit posted after the day rolls over to another Hermit's day (per the US Central time zone) will be reblogged in a big queue in June. 4. I am not interested in seeing captions or tags in which you disparage your art/skills. We're all improving all the time. Be kind to yourselves.

WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE? To show love to every Hermit, from the most to least subscribed, from those who have been on the server from day one to those who only joined this season! And because challenges are fun! And because, this year, there's an extra dimension to the event: a fundraiser for Gamers Outreach, featuring art incentives by @rendiggitydog and @belmarzi.

GRAND TOTAL INCENTIVE: For every $150 we raise for Gamers Outreach, belmarzi will make 10 seconds' worth of animatic, featuring as many Hermits as she can fit into the time frame.

INDIVIDUAL DONATION INCENTIVE: For every $50 (formerly $65 - changed 5/3) you personally donate to the fundraiser during the month of May, Rae rendiggitydog will draw you a shaded flats commission of a Hermit of your choice.

WHO’S RUNNING THIS? Hi! My name is Luna! You can use she/her, he/him, ze/hir, or ro/ros/roseself pronouns for me. My main blog is @as-if-unreal. Yep, before you ask, it really is just me, but to be fair I've had a lot of help.

BONUS SUNDAY PROMPTS EXPLAINED UNDER THE CUT

TFC - May 5th While he may no longer be with us physically, TFC left behind him a legacy of quiet care and good humor, and Hermitcraft would not have been the same without him.

FRIENDS OF HERMITCRAFT - May 12th There are plenty of shows, podcasts, competitions, other servers, and more woven into the internet ecosystem around Hermitcraft, and plenty more people involved in them: just as a small number of examples, Season 9's Rift opened up to a whole server of Emperor friends, and there are always allies to be made in MCC and enemies to be made in the Life Series. Today is for celebrating all of those who, while they may not be Hermits themselves, exist and entertain in proximity to them.

FAVORITE "ALT" HERMIT - May 19th HoTGuY and Poultry-Man. Helsknight and Evil Xisuma. Renbob and - look, you get the idea. This server is full of theater kids ready to toss on an alternate skin and play into a brand new character at the drop of a hat. Who's your favorite?

GROUPS AND COLLABS - May 26th This month is all about one Hermit a day... but what we really love is when they interact with each other. What does your favorite duo or group of Hermits get up to together?

[ezrazone]

you probably see a lot of fundraisers on your dash. highlighting these individual campaigns is not a great system; it means necessarily that many people are left behind. however, this criticism is not a reason to tune out the cries for help that you come across. i made a commitment to my friend @save-mohamed-family and it is my responsibility to him to keep generating interest in his fundraiser. while his gofundme campaign is temporarily stalled due to a technicality, it is more meaningful than ever that people send money via these app options. mohamed lost all of his sisters and his father. all he has left are his three young children and his wife, manal, who has been in and out of a coma for months. please give them hope that they can survive this genocide as bombing continues overhead. they are battling weather and sickness and starvation. your donations do more good than you can possibly imagine. cashapp link (for americans)

venmo link (for americans - please do not indicate anything having to do with palestine in description)

paypal link (for everyone outside US - please make sure your donation is listed as “personal” and not business)

mohamed’s fundraiser is vetted #192 here!

thank you thank you thank you. please vote & circulate.

[transmutationisms]

tbh people love to give notes to posts that aggregate a bunch of fundraisers into a list but if you actually look at the donations that come in this is the most useless form of fundraiser post, literally almost no one clicks through, it would be more useful to silently post a single gfm link with no comment or explanation than to jam it into a list with 10 other people to be reblogged by serial back-patters tagged as #important. i understand the appeal of making these posts (i have done so in the past!) but it's literally not a good use of your time or a help to the people you're trying to promote, post or rb them individually. people on here think of rbing a list post as already equivalent to action, it's a losing game. and donate to mohammed while i have you

Food Bank Fundraiser

Hi everyone!

First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone who's been leaving such nice tags/comments on stuff I've posted! It's been really encouraging (o^▽^o)

Anyway, I think we all know it's very dark days on the economic front for many of us. So as such, I'd like to help raise some funds for Food Banks Canada! In exchange for you making a donation to the food bank, I will draw a character suggestion!

I know this is not really the sort of thing I normally do or post here but... many folks are struggling to put food on the table right now, and the food bank is a source of support for many and provides an absolute necessity. I've seen many people struggling in my own city, and food security has become an even bigger issue than it already was in the last couple of years with the food bank struggling to keep up with demand. Of course, food security is an issue across the whole country that's putting a huge strain on food banks, with nearly 5% of the entire population making use of food banks monthly, and 23% of the population reporting food insecurity (CBC, 2024; Global News, 2024). Unsurprisingly, those who are already most disadvantaged suffer the effects of food scarcity even more (Statistics Canada, 2023). To make matters more desperate, Canada's food bank system is on the brink of collapse (CTV News, 2024).

I know this isn't going to something big enough to change the world or anything, but being able to make even a small impact for individual people is important too!

✨Incentives✨

Of course, I'm sure people aren't just in it for a reward, but rewards make things all the sweeter, right?

For those who want to contribute, I'll take a character suggestion and add it to a poll (depending on the number of contributors, it may be split up into multiple polls), and then I'll draw as many as I can from top to bottom ranking! If you contribute, please send me a DM with your donation receipt and your character idea! They won't necessarily all be drawn in the same style, and they'll be done according to how much time I've got. (I know that commissions are probably the biggest incentive, but realistically, I struggle to get them done quickly and they're probably not that affordable to everyone)

If you prefer SFW or NSFW, you can let me know (But NSFW will be posted to Cohost). If you make a bigger contribution, I'll reach out to you and ask if you wanna see more specifics/details in your piece. How's that for sweetening the pie? :3

For those who can't make a donation (which is completely understandable), simply spreading the post is also helpful, and I appreciate that greatly as well!

Don't forget that giving a donation allows you to get a tax break based on the amount donated as well!

Alternatives?

If you'd rather donate to your own local food bank, that's great too! You can DM me and send me a pic of your receipt and I'll still add your suggestion to the poll.

If you REALLY want a commission, you can also DM me and I'll do my best to fulfil it! I won't be taking commissions for this till/if there's at least a couple of items on the poll though. The proceeds will go to my own local food bank. The commission will be done later though, and may take some time to fulfil. I take payment only after starting.

When do we start??

I guess once there's a good number of poll options? I have no idea how long that will be, but rest assured I'll keep you updated!

Where do we contribute?

You can make your donation to Food Banks Canada! They really need it!

Alternatively, you can make a donation to your local food bank or equivalent charity.

Other Questions?

Feel free to send me a message or an ask! I'll get back to you ASAP. If I need to include more details or clarify something, let me know! It's my first time doing this!

TL;DR

I want to help raise money for food banks! Anyone who contributes to Food Banks Canada (or donates to their own local food bank or equivalent charity) can DM me with their receipt and give a character to add to the poll. Poll characters will be drawn in order of their ranking, as many as I can manage, over as long a period of time as I can manage!

No pressure to donate of course, I just figured this would be a fun way of raising a bit of money to help out, and allow us to donate more than what I personally can

Current Contributor Count: 13

Suggested Characters:

Imagine your beloved, obscure or popular character here on this poll list! Oooooooh, how lucrative :3

Total funds raised:

780.36$!!!

compilation of fundraisers from Palestinians who've reached out to me recently - please share and donate if you can!🍉🫒🌿

(part 1 - part 2 here)

These campaigns are either vetted or currently unvetted but are likely to be legitimate according to reverse image search. Please exercise your own judgement, but remember that donations on gofundme are protected, and a lot of unvetted campaigns are very low on funds/traction. If I include a known scam, please let me know.

Please donate if you can, even if it's a small amount, it all helps. If not, please share this post to get it to people who can. Please help these people to survive, reach safety, and rebuild their lives.

For each person, I've linked both their gofundmes and a post from them explaining their situation (+ vetting info if relevant).

[triviallytrue]

What is the current best guess as to how likely/unlikely it is for verified fundraisers to be scams?

Hoo boy. If I had a good guess for that, this would all be much easier.

There are a lot of different people/groups who have at one point or another done some form of verification, many of which do not publicize their methods (often because they don't want scammers to be able to get around them more easily, but still, that makes it tough to accept). Each different person/group may have different standards of evidence and different willingness to verify a fundraiser.

I have spent several hours going through around a dozen fundraisers. I will not be publicizing which ones or what my conclusions are, because getting any kind of certainty with this kind of thing is very, very difficult, and I don't want to get it wrong (in either direction). Some challenges:

Many people have an instagram or tiktok which clearly shows a Palestinian person living in Gaza with a history prior to October 7th, but this social media account does not link back to either their GFM or their tumblr (both of which were created much more recently). In some cases this is probably innocent, but in others, scammers may search common tags on those sites and quietly assume their identities. I have no idea what the proportion is.

In some cases I can be somewhat confident the Palestinian the GFM is for is real, but the middleman (the westerner in charge of sending the gofundme money to the Palestinian refugee) is a complete ghost, not mentioned anywhere and not googleable, and I have no idea if they are reliable.

In the other direction, there are gofundmes with no socials that feel formulaic, with some other things that concern me (ask patterns that feel like botnet behavior, no demonstrated ability to write in Arabic anywhere), but these are also impossible to dismiss as scams - if you are relying on machine translation to try and get from Arabic to English, you are going to sound somewhat formulaic, and to be a refugee is to lack many of the traditional markers of legitimacy that someone in a more stable situation would have.

So in short - shit's fucked! It sounds like the verifiers know this too, and from a mixture of more Palestinians hearing about tumblr's willingness to donate and scammers smelling blood in the air, it sounds like people are burning out. Many of the existing verifiers are themselves Palestinian refugees, and being a refugee puts a huge amount of stress on you in a way that makes it very hard to maintain a verification workload. As I've said before, this kind of thing is a full time job.

If someone reading this would strongly prefer to donate to an individual over an established organization, I would recommend the paypal linked in 90-ghost's bio.

90-ghost seems like as confident as I can be that someone is who they say they are - he has a long history on this site posting about Palestine in Arabic prior to October 7th, other Palestinian users on this site seem to trust him, and the PayPal he links (his brother's, not his) is someone he knows personally and doesn't have a middleman between his family and the money.

Remember: don't just click that link! Before you send anyone money, double check my work - go to his blog and verify that I linked the correct PayPal and that the things I just said are true.

Palestine Donation Campaigns

A lot of Palestinians have reached out to me to share their fundraising campaigns. Please consider donating to any of these or even all of these! Spare a few bucks for your fellow humans!!

Still in the process of compiling every one of them because there's A LOT. So I'll update this from time to time.

Unfortunately I cannot donate personally because I am not financially independent, and all of these campaigns aren't in my local currency as I am not from the west. The only way I can reliably contribute financially is through my local Palestine fundraising efforts, not through individual campaigns. But Social media is a thing and we should utilize it!!! This is like the bare minimum I could do.

Unfortunately my reach or following isn't that big, So please reblog. Especially if you're a bigger tumblr blog and you see this please reblog this so it will reach more people.

i agree w this person's perspective i just think there should be some context:

palestinians use a lot of these tricks too. on instagram, palestinians with fundraisers started making videos in english that typically began with "stop! don't scroll" or something to that effect. as people started getting used to that and scrolling past them, they escalated to other tricks, including stitching their fundraiser to viral tiktoks (this happened on twitter too where people would quote retweet viral tweets with their fundraiser). they also asked influencers to make videos for them. having more resources and social capital than the average gazan, a lot of these were more high production, with artwork, cooking montages, makeup, grwms, american english, etc. and this'll be important later: after some time, the influencers started using similar tricks to turn the fundraiser into entertainment, including attaching it to viral trends, guilt tripping, and surprising people with the fundraiser at the end of a "normal" post. <-- a similar process has happened on tumblr as well

fundraising online has always been like pulling teeth. like even before whats happening now. nobody wants to reblog, let alone donate. fundraisers look ugly on people's blog themes. they provide no entertainment value, which is the primary reason people use tumblr. so of course no one reblogs. fundraisers for socially undesirable people (think black, transfem, "third world") get even less attention. a lot of the tricks you see people pulling now (polls as an example) are taken from personal fundraiser posts from the past.

i can say this from experience and anecdotal evidence from my mutuals: people hate looking at fundraisers. even super popular blogs have lost engagement since they started posting fundraisers, and many people have mentioned having to stagger posting fundraisers/post them alongside because people seriously either unfollow, block, or scroll past when they see a long series of fundraiser posts at once.

overall, the difficulty is that the dehumanization of palestinians and sudanese, any oppressed person, is a constant presence that most individuals are completely unable to solve on their own. the fact that these people even have to ask strangers for help in their second language is dehumanizing. thats why, for a lot of people, resorting to tricks like these doesn't feel like a huge problem even though it is uncomfortable.

that being said, someone using a trick to capture attention because they know their humanity is not enough to motivate people to donate, and someone from the imperial core, miles more privileged than them, with more "humanity" afforded to them, using these tricks, is different. neither are capable of undoing the dehumanization of these people, but it is more insulting when the privileged people with more resources perpetuate that dehumanization. it's our responsibility to fight this wherever we can, but i'm not entirely sure where to go from here. cuz the tags are right - it shouldn't be necessary! but every time people try to fundraise it devolves into the same tricks that always work on the internet. so i don't have an solution.

Did you know the average cost to train a service dog can be upwards of $20,000 USD?

This price tag is high due to the all of the work that goes in to selecting, caring for, and training a service dog over a period of up to 2-3 years. Unfortunately, this price tag is one of the largest barriers standing between a disabled person and the service dog they desperately need.

That’s where charity organizations and non-profits step in and help fill in the gaps.

They provide grants when possible and step in to assist individuals in fundraising the money they need in order to cover these costs.

I am not exempt from this struggle myself-so I have my own fundraiser going, in partnership with See’s Candies.

Use one of my store links to find and order your ideal treat. It’s shipped directly to you, and up to 50% of the profits are donated back to the charitable organization Every Percent Counts, which is the group backing me and my service dog journey.

Holiday Gifts:

Open 10/8-12/6

Orders ship out staring 11/11/2024

Every day Candy Goodness:

Open 10/08-1/31/2025

Can’t support the effort? No problem. Share this, that way we can reach as many interested parties as possible. The goal is to raise enough to cover my service dog. Any additional funds will be put towards grants for other service dog teams.

-Removed double name tagging. This year, all submissions for each day's Hermit will only be tagged with the shorter version of their name (where applicable). For example, fanworks for Stress will be tagged "#stress," not "#stressmonster101, #stress." Notably, fanworks featuring Joel SmallishBeans will be tagged #joel.

=Updated desktop blog theme. (please look at it I did actual coding for this)

=Changed Bonus Days to Sundays.

=Time of rollover between dates will now be 12:00am US Central time (6:00am GMT).

+Added credits page.

+Added people to credit! HADM24 comes to you with the help of boatloads of my friends both online and irl and even some names you might know (keep reading).

+THE BIG ONE: Added a secondary goal for the Hermit-a-Day May event: a complete fundraiser for Gamers Outreach.

The way this community comes together to celebrate the Hermits and each other is incredible. There are something like 1,800 fanworks on this blog from last May and early June! And that's not counting what was posted on other social media platforms as the prompt calendar spread.

I wanted to do something with that momentum - something with a little more substance behind it than last year's spontaneous "hey we should all donate $14!" So I've partnered with two amazing fandom artists you may remember from their daily posts last year - @belmarzi and @rendiggitydog - so that as a community, we could make even more awesomeness come from this event.

I have created a Tiltify campaign so that donations can be made directly to GO - I will never touch the money - and tracked for our incentives:

GRAND TOTAL INCENTIVE: For every $150 we raise for Gamers Outreach (to a minimum of $300, and a maximum that is yet to be determined, but we currently have support for up to $2,100), belmarzi will make 10 seconds' worth of animatic, featuring as many Hermits as she can fit into the time frame. You can expect to see the animatic published in early July.

INDIVIDUAL DONATION INCENTIVE: For every $65 you personally donate to the fundraiser, Rae rendiggitydog will draw you a shaded flats commission of a Hermit of your choice. These will be finished in the order in which the donations are received, and may be sent to you in May or early June.

I've put a lot of work into making this happen, and I cannot tell you how excited I am for May to arrive! The campaign will be opened in mid to late April together with the posting of this year's prompt calendar.

We've got some great stuff cooking up for y'all this year, between the whole month of fanart and the fundraising incentives! Thank you all for being a part of it! The askbox is open for questions, if you have them.

Next time: the official release of the prompt calendar!

i would love to see any one of the people participating in the scam slander campaign do as much consistent advocacy for Palestine as @el-shab-hussein is doing. as @fairuzfan is doing. as @tamarrudd is doing. as Ibtisam and Elios were doing before they had to disengage from the platform for their sake. i completely do not understand the strategy of waltzing into a circle that's been incredibly vocal about their people's violent and ruthless subjugation, picking out the ones connected to an aspect of it you find personally aggravating, and then comfortably discrediting them with no consideration for all their consistent presence and effort.

were they there when Ibtisam and at least five other people led a hunger strike to raise money for Anera, one of the organizations they all now smugly parade around and pretend the fundraiser network exists to borderline deliberately divert funds from it? that's just from April this year! i'm not even someone who has had engaged with the Pro-Palestinian online advocacy circles properly before October 2023; learning exactly what makes Hussein and Nairuz trusted sources, exactly who Ahmed @/90-ghost is, is not hard at all if you've popped your head into the Palestine tag more than a handful times in the 10 months since the escalation of the genocide.

treating the individuals in this circle with such disregard, contempt, distrust, malice, and consistently refusing to engage with them directly, as human beings, as Palestinians, betrays both their willful ignorance and their deeply entrenched cynicism, a lack of any shred of commitment to challenging themselves beyond what they're baseline convinced to be true/sound/correct. when we're talking about an active genocide. what is wrong with you people.
