#sorry for not reblogging sooner

[palms-upturned]

I’m late to this whole debacle but for the record, I have been messaged by people in Gaza who thought that I was involved in the fundraiser vetting process and sent me photos of their government IDs and documentation. I know a little of what Hussein, Nairuz, Ahmed, Ibtisam, and others use to vet people and make sure that they’re legit, and that’s part of why I confidently cite them as a source. To try and discredit them and smear them as scam artists, along with the genocide victims that they’re trying so hard to help, is fucking beyond the pale.

The reason I’ve been inactive on this blog and focusing instead on compiling resources in order to bring more ppl onto the fundraiser blog is that the work I was doing was spiraling into a 12-hour a day endeavor with just myself, and it was making me so physically and mentally ill that I could barely move or think, so I had to step back and figure out a better way to organize things. And I’m not even doing the actually hard part of this work. I do not vet people. I do not have any skin in this game as a white USAmerican. It’s not my family who are dying in Gaza. I also have not been targeted for harassment or account bans. I literally cannot fucking fathom the physical and mental strain that Palestinian bloggers on this platform have been going through nonstop for nearly a year now.

I still remember being shocked when I saw that Hussein had come back to tumblr after having to take a break due to having a heart attack. Ibtisams, who vetted people and organized all sorts of fundraising efforts all while grieving her father and little sister killed in Gaza, was forced to come back to tumblr to make a statement about how she was in an inpatient facility because people had the gall to impersonate her in order to scam people. Ahmed literally escaped Gaza because of a very well documented fundraising effort here on tumblr, no thanks to the cunts at GoFundMe who made things as difficult as possible every step of the way, and has since spent time and effort helping other people who had hopes of sharing his success. Calling these people scammers is fucking unbelievable. Some of you wouldn’t know solidarity if it bit you in the ass.

If getting messages in your inbox from people trying to escape a genocide makes you uncomfortable, fucking suck it up. Or disable your inbox, I guess. Do literally anything else besides using your platform to direct harassment and slander at people who are trying to survive a genocide. This website is already quite literally engaging in tech apartheid by targeting users in Gaza so constantly, you don’t need to gleefully join in by tagging staff and asking them to terminate people. Fucking unconscionable behavior. I hope that it will follow everyone involved for the rest of their lives.

As some of you may know, for the past few months my mental health has been declining. I've had less motivation to eat, draw, and can barely sleep more than 5 hours a night. I've also been suffering worse mood swings and daily suicidal thoughts and ideations. Unfortunately I have had difficulty finding professional help, as many places in my area don't offer the services I need to treat my conditions. That's why I would like to get an emotional support animal. I hope that having something to love and care for will help with my more severe episodes. Along with aiding in my motivation and loneliness. I have everything I need to be able to get this animal, however there is a fee of $350 to keep a pet in my apartment. Currently I'm short on money due to taxes and my sister having been on maternity leave for 8 weeks. I would kindly ask if you guys could donate to my ko-fi if you can! I will also be opening some commission slots and making adopts to sell. Anything helps!!!

to the people occasionally sending me their little tmagp theories and whatnot in my inbox: I love you. I love your brainstorming. I appreciate that you want me to read your thoughts. I Also Have No Idea How To Respond Most Of The Time <3 I'm not a big theorizer so I typically have very little to add >~< I am so sorry I haven't and probably will not answer those asks <3

one thing thats so frustrating about operating within radical online spaces is that when it includes transphobic radfems, a lot of the time you’ll see a post that you agree with in some ways fundamentally, and see its from a terf, and then denounce it and terfs think its like some sort of gotcha — like “ahh, you agreed with me but you’re afraid to look inward and see the truth about biological sex because you’re a brainwashed TRA!” and its like no actually. you made a post that included some ideas surrounding misogyny and patriarchy, and upon learning your vehement transphobia/transmisogyny your whole line of thinking falls apart. like how am i, or anyone engaging in radical discourse supposed to trust or agree with you when you easily rub elbows with right wing misogynists and enable white supremacist and bio-essentialist ideas of gender (lots of buzzwords there, i know). like you may have said something agreeable on the surface, but beneath the surface it is not radical or intersectional in any way and instead reenforces patriarchal structures you claim to be working against. the nature of your ideology is contradictory and i don’t trust whatever the fuck you have to add to any conversation, ever.

1) do you sometimes answer non-anonymous questions?

2) are you pleased to see art from other subscribers:3?

and is it difficult to view all the people who mentioned you?

and sometimes some wait about a month.. :|

[asheanon]

Heya, my dudes! I know I've been more on the quiet side via social media lately and just wanted to apologize, for one, but also express that I've been doing as well as I can, still. 💙

I'm hoping sooner than later, I'll have more new things to share and whatnot. Still whittling away at words and art as I'm able to. 📖🐌🎨
