#non for profit

[hadesisqueer]

Hi. Sorry about this. I'm Spanish. As some people might know, Spain is currently going through a very destructive flash fall in the last few days. I'm lucky enough that my town hasn't been affected, but unfortunely it isn't so everywhere. At the time I'm writing this, over 150 bodies have been found, there's still people missing and there are entire towns destroyed or isolated with no electricity and roads, and a lot of people have no access to tap water or a way to cook food.

Hambre Cero is a food bank non-profit. It will be giving food to those who don't have access to it after the flash fall. Hambre Cero is currently also active in Lebanon and Palestine. If you guys can please donate or at least reblog to spread this, I'd really appreciate it.

It's December 20th, 🫶 International Human Solidarity Day. On this day in 2002, the United Nations established the World Solidarity Fund for the eradication of poverty and the promotion of human and social development in developing countries – especially among their poorest people. To strengthen the world's resolve to eradicate poverty, the UN decided to commemorate the creation of the World Solidarity Fund by celebrating International Human Solidarity Day on this day every year.

Solidarity is identified in the UN's Millennium Declaration as one of the fundamental values of international relations in the 21st Century – that those who suffer the most or benefit the least in this world deserve help from those who benefit the most. In the context of increasing globalization and its resultant growing inequality, it's becoming more and more important to strengthen international solidarity to promote a culture of sharing and giving.

On this day, let's all celebrate our diverse racial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, and religious backgrounds and dedicate ourselves to work in unity with each other as we struggle to solve the great problems facing us today, tomorrow, and beyond. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Places to donate to help Palestine

PCRF.net - They did over a 100 medical missions in 2022 (Palestine Children’s Relief Fund)

Middle East Children's Alliance - A Non-profit organization fighting for the well-being and rights of Middle Eastern Children. They also have a link to a 'tool kit' to help spread information about the Gaza Genocide. I'm linking to it directly HERE

Anera: Where Hope Finds a Way - They provide everything from food, medicine and hygiene kits. $30 equals 16 blood bags - an essential thing for helping doctors help people survive horrible physical trauma.

UNICEF.org - Link to where you can donate to help UNICEF get aid to those suffering in Palestine.

And because I know damn well that lots of people don't have the extra funds to donate money - you can help by simply clicking here once a day. It donates ad revenue. Click to help Palestine

[I wanted so much to find other places people could donate that weren't in the US or Canada, but I was having problems figuring out how to ensure that they were reputable. If anyone knows of any, please reblog and add the links!]

And some basic informational sources for those who want to understand what's really going on other than the misleading information from the media.

BDS - The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement works to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians. Offers actual news about what's happening.

Decolonize Palestine - In depth information about the history and origins of Palestine. Also has a great 'debunked myths' section that lists almost all of all the lies the Media has been peddling.

Mondoweiss - An independent website devoted to informing readers about developments in Israel/Palestine and related US foreign policy. (Be aware: Some articles show disturbing images of the horrors happening in Gaza.)

Petitions I found with reputable track records (there are a LOT of fakes out there)

Canada:

Independant Jewish Voices Canada - Gaza on the Brink Ceasefire Now! - Prewritten letter to Justin Trudeau and Mélanie Joly calling for an immediate ceasefire, and for an end to the collective punishment of Palestinians. Just sign your name and it sends a letter!

There are several other ways (Including email addresses to various people/companies, as well as physical addresses you can mail letters to) listed here.

DON'T send threats/hate mail. That does nothing but make them double down on their current stances. Be polite. You don't have to take a happy tone, but be polite.

United States:

USA - Tell Congress: Stop Fueling the Gaza Genocide - Demanding an immediate ceasefire and for Humanitarian Aid to be allowed into Gaza.

Jewish Voice for Peace - You can use their form for send a letter to Congress to demand that they should focus on de-escalation instead of sending money and weapons to Israel so they can continue their genocidal war against Palestinians.

Jewish Voice for Peace (part 2) - Fill out this form and inform President Biden that he should call for a ceasefire and stop supplying money and weapons to Israel.

Oh so the clown ads are over? Too late Tumblr I already cancelled ad free uninstalled your app and discovered the power of ublock in mobile FireFox. AND tags are editable in the web version?

There's no going back

I certainly didn’t see this being on my 2023 bingo card.

Edit: Ya’ll this meme above isn’t accurate anymore since other messages from the group came out. I made this meme when the first initial message came out.

The meme down below is more correct as to what’s probably happening with Ao3. Also wanted to say that despite the name of group, the people behind it are probably Russians.

Edit: July 11th, So Ao3 is back! Though the donation link is being attacked now. There’s also a second account on Twitter trying to impersonate Ao3.

Hello! If anyone's got any money to spare, this cat shelter in Brazil is in desperate need of donations - on risk of having to stop their work.

People constantly leave abandoned cats on their building and they need almost 10.000 reais ( About 2k USD) to keep going.

If anyone's capable of donating they have a Paypal ! (If the link doesnt work, their paypal is gatilirmafrancisca@gmail.com )

Anything helps!

Do your daily clicks!!!

Arab.org released their statistics for the first 3 months of this year

more than 900K people clicked during those 3 months. Those 3 months had 91 days in them, meaning nearly 11k people clicked a day, and it yielded 661 USD!! WHICH IS AMAZING!!!

The other day when we were walking by the graveyard near the house, you asked me if I thought we would ever die And if life and love both fade so predictably, we've made ourselves a kind of predictable lie And so I pictured us like corpses, lying side by side in pieces in some dark and lonely plot under a bough We looked so silly there, all decomposed, half turned to dust in tattered clothes Though we probably look just as silly now

For Norwegians that might be following:

Fagforbundet og Norsk Folkehjelp har gått igjennom fondene som norske banker tilbyr til sine kunder for å se om de er investert i selskaper med virksomhet på okkupert palestinsk område.  Vi oppfordrer deg til å sjekke banken din.

Etter at du har sjekket banken du er kunde i, kan du sende en epost gjennom "gi beskjed" knappen. Fagforbundet har laget en mal, så alt du trenger å gjøre er og oppgi navn og epostadresse.

Del gjerne med venner og familie som ikke er på Tumblr.

What is the “Wayback Machine” that you mentioned bey ??

The Wayback Machine is an archiving crawler tool designed and hosted by The Internet Archive to document sites throughout their lifetime. It's not 100% reliable as how often a site gets crawled typically comes down to how frequently it updates and / or how much it's visited (and it doesn't store images / videos as well as just general text), but it's often what I use for my own research and investigating when I need to access information that may no longer be available on live sites (like old blogs, galleries, news articles, etc.) It's definitely my go-to when I need to go on my rabbithole dives, for better and for worse LOL

Reading laylajeffany's and boojangs' posts I couldn't help but be surprised, because my only knowledge of the whole "kudos bot/AO3 web crawler" mess was that it had been around for three years at least but was a relatively harmless nuisance.

But searching for info on what is happening to them and other authors, I find that for the last year or so there has been another bot and that it is being deliberately targeted at specific fandoms and authors to inflate and unbalance their Kudos counts and make them targets for harassment campaigns using accusations of self-promotion or other bullshit.

Apparently the theory is that it could be related to content scrappers trying to steal fanfics for their own purposes (?). What is the logic behind doing something that forces authors to make their content private and lock their stories, I don't understand. Alternatively, there are people who are just plain assholes and mean-spirited like that, who probably just want to cause harm/stress.

The UnSussexfulls can say whatever they want, there is no lost check! All companies incorporated in the State of Delaware are required to file an Annual Report along with a filing fee of $25. The letter clearly states they need to file their 990 annual report AND a check so they submitted nothing for 2022. The 990 reports are a pain if you have a lot of contributors and/or outgoing distributions (donations out)* but Archwell doesn't. They could have used a 990N or 990EZ form that shouldn't have taken more than an hour or two to complete...but they have NO staff to compile it. If the Delaware Secretary of State functions like most states, they received a delinquency letter every quarter. Additionally, Delaware requires a yearly Franchise Tax Payment ($250-$300 depending on if it's an LLC or Corp). If all of these conditions are not met within two years, the company is automatically dissolved. I think they are hoping it will be shut down and that they can move away from the failure that is Archwell (like how they have archwell.com redirect to the new sussex.com). I truly believe that Rachel stupidly thinks if Archwell shuts down, they can just roll the remaining $$$ out but that's not how it works. If she can't even get a simple annual report filed, how on earth is she going to handle sales tax for all of her online product sales as required?

*I spent 13 years compiling 990 reports for, at that time, the largest Super PAC in my state.
