Being someone who fights for their family in a world that barely acknowledges Gaza’s suffering? That’s its own special kind of hell. Every time a loved one is injured, whether it’s your partner, your child, or even yourself, the doctors rush in. But don’t expect any miracles. The tools they bring aren’t fresh from pristine, state-of-the-art hospitals. They’re the leftovers of a world that has abandoned Gaza. Surgical plates aren’t delivered by some heroic supply chain. They’re pulled from the bodies of the dead, handed down like cursed heirlooms. Metal meant to heal now carries the weight of death, and infection waits to take what little hope remains.

Doctors are left with impossible decisions: amputate, scavenge through the dead for a plate to salvage, or wait for one that may never come. And the price? These plates cost more than most families in Gaza could ever afford. As resources vanish, everything becomes more expensive. It’s a cruel game with no winners, and we’re all stuck in it.

This is the reality for 26 members of my family, all just trying to stay alive. Two orphaned children. A loved one paralyzed by shrapnel that tore through her body. Her survival hinges on removing infected plates that shouldn’t even exist in her story. Every hour that passes steals more of her future while the world stands still. And yes, you’ve probably seen the video of her injuries shared before. In case you missed it: Link.

This isn’t just about my family. This is Gaza. It’s about a world that watches genocide unfold and calls it politics. A world that stands silent as families like mine scrape by with nothing but scraps, while doctors stitch together lives using whatever’s left behind. But here’s the thing, we won’t let this be the end. Hope is still a choice we make every single day, even when the world seems to have forgotten how to care.

Please help my family in Gaza get a chance to survive. Click the link. Donate if you can and reblog to spread our story.

"A single packet of Nescafe goes for around $1.30. A kilogram (2 pounds) of onions goes for $10, a medium bottle of cooking oil for $15 — if available. Meat and chicken all but vanished from the markets months ago, but there are still some local vegetables. Such sums are astronomical in an impoverished territory where few people earn regular incomes."

This is the harsh reality for Mohammed Al-Habil, @alhabil, (#166). The prices for food and other basic necessities have increased on a hourly basis, making it impossible for him to purchase and have a proper meal for his family of 6. It also doesn't help that his 3 young children, Ahmed (8), Osama (6), and Mira (4) have been infected with scabies over the summer and they have still have it to this day! It would have been cured with antibiotics, but similar to the pricing of food, the prices for medication has been going up and up! This also includes insulin for his elderly parents as they are diabetics!

So please donate and share. We have been trying to raise a short-term goal of 40K, but donations have slowed down significantly. €39,157 has been raised. There is €843 left to go!

You can match my friend! She has given €5, but you're more than welcome to give more!

midnight bathed in bloodmoon (demo) is live!!

YOU CAN PLAY IT FOR YOURSELF HERE IN BROWSER, MAC, OR PC :}

more info under the cut!

game synopsis:

Eternally cursed with a never-ending hunger, you have fought long and hard to resist the urge to drink human blood. This meant never staying in the same place for too long and never getting attached to anyone. The journey has been a long one, to say the least. 

Desperate for a place to rest your aching feet and a meal to quench the unquenchable, you find temporary refuge at a pub at the edge of town that reeks of rat droppings and day-old vomit. Your relief is short-lived, though, stunted by the presence of a vampire hunter sitting beside you at the bar. 

Navigating through conversation steeped with fear, friendship, and fatal attraction may be the only way left to keep your head. 

Will you be strong enough to fight your primal urges or will you give in to your desire? Perhaps, in more ways than one?

general about:

made for the 2024 queer vampire game jam, me and a handful of creatives got together to make our first game in 25 days! we learned alot in the process, and i think overall it is so exciting to have our efforts be a tangible (metaphorically) thing at the end of it.

i had the honor of working with @vitariesocks as our character artist and character cg artist, diskogoblin on IG for the pub background, and mayacheavwrites on IG for beta writing and for the beautiful game blurb above! i (scryillo/nightjar_nocturne on itch) had the opportunity to work on the game's narrative and code.

in game screenshots:

content warnings for the game include:

blood, biting, general vampire gore described and at times visualized

paranoia, hunger

queer shame, queer guilt, and instances of dysphoria

last song: Enlacing by clipping. (makes me think of my dear friend daniel molloy. Also just brilliant lyrically and musically, they captured the experience of being under the influence so well)

last movie: Only lovers left alive. The soundtrack is brilliant which is what led me to it (it was on assad zaman's playlist for armand). An overall charming movie limited by a lack of vision & not a negligeable amount of racism/orientalism. I did love the way they shot night, very claustrophobic and pointless. Adam wishes he had what louis de pointe du lac has.

last book: im kinda reading the vampire armand but mostly i read non fiction -current one is the Wretched of the Earth by Fanon. Still as illuminating as ever, although now i also find it fascinating to pick at his psychiatric lens.

last tv show: arcane. Most frustrating show in existence. Politically atrocious. Some brilliant artistic choices.

last thing googled/looked up: when were Walkmans released in the USA.... i may be writing a thing about my dear friends daniel and louis in the 70s....

looking forward to: seeing my gf this weekend :)

Joey and Andrew Socks! Made with lovely yarn from my wonderful friends (tysm @vitariesocks and @squidaresquishy) which they sent all the way from Philly as a Christmas gift. I love working with locally dyed yarn, so getting to use some that’s local to someone else was really cool! I really like the way these colours look together - I’ll probably make another stripey set with them both.

Yarn: Loop Sprig - the labels say ‘OOAK’ but neither of them seem to 100% match any of the colourways on the website, so perhaps discontinued or just a unique colourway!

Edit: I've been informed that OOAK stands for one of a kind so yes! Oops 😂

Pattern: ‘Oona’ by Karen Borrel (in 52 Weeks of Socks)

Make sure to read every word. Let it sink in. Doesn't it send a shiver down your spine? It does for me. Especially with the fact that a crowdfunding platform known for helping people recover from their finances would pull something like this! And they have announced it on other than October 7th, 2024, a year into the accelerated genocide that is taking in place in Gaza.

Iyad Sobhe (@yadsgaza) and Ruba (@rubashsblog) are long time neighbours and friends who consider each other as family. They are raising funds with PayPal ever since GFM has either terminated their fundraiser or made them lose access. Iyad has lost 11K while Ruba can no longer withdraw the 27K.

They can not afford to start all over when PayPal is their last resort. This means we have less than A MONTH to raise the entire amount of 60K! So please donate and share! Donations have slowed down significantly, resulting in 1 or 2 donations per day, when we should be raising $600!

You can match my friend! She has given $10 USD and if we have at least 60 people contribute the same amount in a month, we would able to succeed! (But you're more than welcome to give any amount! Even as little as $1 since PayPal accepts such amount!)

Verification: #90 for Ruba and #173 for Iyad in the spreadsheet by Hussein (@/el-shab-hussein) and Nairuz (@/nabulsi) [Keep in mind that the document has not been updated and does not reflect the current fundraiser. You can learn about it here]

bad news regarding the missouri form unfortunately :/

https://www.tumblr.com/vitariesocks/715134827334123520/hi-transgender-missourian-here-do-not-do-this

This is why we've been telling people to submit complete nonsense, and NOT to submit anything even remotely believable.

And by that, we mean do not say anything about trans people AT ALL.

Even something like "my neighbor is transing their daughter into a frog" is believable to these people. These people believed classes were setting up litter boxes for furries.

So don't say ANYTHING about trans people, or people in general.

Personally, I think if you submit a recipe for your favorite chocolate chip cookies, that can't be used against trans people. There are no people involved in a recipe.

But, if you personally feel that absolutely everything put into that form can be used against trans people, then don't participate.

last song: idk what was the last song but ive been listening to rang de basanti by bloodywood on repeat for a couple weeks now. also been listening to from gaza, with love by saint levant and the new myrath album

favourite color: mine used to red too, but over the years its shifted to orange, the warmer the better! azar probably didnt have an influence on this

currently watching: just finished watching scavengers reign and you need to drop everything and go watch it too. it's the most gorgeous and mesmerizing thing in scifi right now, it's aldebaran if it was good and filled you with awe and actually cared about biology and nature and also wasnt racist and homophobic. i can believe they gave us all that. please watch it.

last movie/show: i watch like 2 movies a year and im not even sure i watched one in 2023 lol. im gonna cheat and say last video game: ive been playing pathologic classic but yesterday i was like lets try the marble nest again (pathologic 2 dlc), it was so short anyway i can play it even if im tired. turns out the one time i tried to play it the game crashed and it's actually much longer than i thought!! really enjoying getting to play a WHOLE DAY of pathologic 2 from the bachelor's perspective. also sticky is here!!!!!!

sweet/savoury/spicy: easy. savoury first, then spicy, then sweet. i get very brief occasional sweet cravings (like rn), but most of the time i just want savoury stuff, spiciness is great and i love it but i can do without. fun fact i didnt eat breakfast for years bc french people are insane and eat only sweet things in the morning, which was super unappealing to me. then i went to the uk and realized most people eat salty stuff in the morning and it changed my life forever. i also want to thank my first roommate for introducing me to real spice with peppers and shit. r you were a brother to me

relationship status: its complicated

last thing you googled: what john darnielle's name was bc it was new year and we were playing this year by the mountaing goats and i was super high so i wanted to tell my friend that he had kind of a fucked up name but i couldnt remember it. thank you john darnielle you make every new year memorable.

current obsession/s: have you heard of stanislav stakh rubin my dear friend stakh rubin. i can also throw in a little artemy burakh. lara ravel. bad grief? theyre even going through a plague too did you hear that. otherwise its stuff for work. oh and birds are not going anywhere.
