URGENT: Stand with Us and Don’t Forget Us-Every Donation Brings Hope

To those who still hold onto a shred of morality and humanity

Over 40,000 lives have been lost, with 70% of them being children and women. Among these numbers are my own family members—many of whom I’ve already lost. My family, my cousin, aunt, their children, and grandchildren were all directly targeted by Israeli airstrikes. I’m sharing a video of my aunt and cousin to reveal the harsh reality we are facing in Gaza.

In this video, my aunt bravely shares her story about how the f##cking Israeli army airstruck them along with their children and grandchildren. Even if you don’t understand Arabic, just watching her speak will help you grasp the immense suffering we are enduring in Gaza. You can see the vedeo in this post.

The few family members who remain are in grave danger, and I’m terrified of losing them too. We have a chance to make a real difference and give my 24 surviving family members a chance to live.

In Gaza, jobs are non-existent, and nonprofit organizations like the UN have drastically reduced their work on the ground. Basic necessities such as milk, food, and medicine are almost as expensive as gold. My family is struggling to afford even the essentials, and my mother urgently needs medication that we simply cannot afford.

I’m also sharing another video that shows the daily struggle people face just to get clean water. The suffering here extends far beyond my family; it’s a genocide affecting every aspect of life in Gaza.

Thanks to the generosity of those who have already donated, we’ve raised $535 toward our goal of $190,363- august 17th. I’m deeply grateful to each of you, but we still have a long way to go, and I need your help more than ever. Imagine if it were your family—how would you feel if they were in this situation?

For those who have created special posts or reblogged to amplify my voice, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support means everything to me and to my family. If you haven’t yet shared our story, please take just one minute to do so. Your voice could be the lifeline my family desperately needs.

You cannot continue to treat human lives as mere numbers. This is a genocide that demands immediate action. How many more should be killed before you all wake up? Will 40,000 lives be enough to stir us to action? 50,000? 100,000? 150,000?

Asking for donations and charity is something we never imagined having to do in Gaza before the war, and it’s heartbreaking that it has come to this. But if everyone who saw my last post donated just $10 or $20, we could reach our goal in no time. If you’re looking for a way to contribute, consider giving up your coffee, tea, or other “cup” for one day, one week, one month, or anything in between. Then, donate what you would have spent to help me. Please help us and donate now!

This is about more than just donations—it’s about preserving human lives and upholding our shared moral values. Your contribution can make a world of difference in our survival and ensure I don’t lose more of the people I love.

Demanding an end to this suffering is a matter of basic humanity. You cannot remain neutral in the face of such genocide. Please, let’s stand together. Enough is enough.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings us closer to hope and healing. Thank you again for your kindness and support. I will never forget it.

Important note: Donation value:

** 1$ = 10.5 Swedish kr

** 10$ = 105 Swedish kr

** 100$ = 1050 Swedish kr

** 1000$ = 10500 Swedish kr

Aztec/Mexica Art History

The history, religion, and rituals of the Aztecs live on today through their art.

 In the 13th century, it is likely that the Aztecs, originally a nomadic tribe of hunter-gatherers, first arrived in Mesoamerica, forming their capital city of Tenochititlan in 1325 A.D.. The name “Aztlan” means “white land” and the term “aztec” refers to all groups living in the Valley of Mexico (15-16ce.), but in particular, the Tenochka tribe of the Mexica group. When they came, they overpowered the previously dominant clan of the Toltecs. The Tenochka tribe consisted of skilled temple architects, artisans, engineers and craft guilds. Their city, Tenochititlan, was first settled near lake Texcoco, on the spot where an eagle with a snake in its mouth landed on a prickly pear cactus, now a well-known symbol of Mexico.

The Aztecs had a rich belief system and multiple gods for the various forces of nature. When the gods first created the earth, supposedly in Tenochititlan, they each sacrificed themselves into a fire, creating a “moving sun”. According to the Aztecs, this moving sun signified the fifth, and final era of our world, which would ultimately be destroyed by an earthquake. This is also an explanation as to why human sacrifice was so fundamentally important to the Aztec religion. The most important sacrifice was considered blood, which would be offered by priests, for example, at the top of the Templo Mayor (“Great Pyramid”). The twin temples of the city were located at the north end, Tlaloc Temple (blue), and at the south end, Huitzilopochtli Temple (red). 

The blue temple was built in honor of Tlaloc, the god of peace, rain, fertility and a symbol of the winter equinox, while the red temple was dedicated to Huitzilopochtli, the god of the sun, war, dryness, and the summer solstice. Other important Aztec gods include Mother Earth, Coatlicue, the mother of Huitzilopochti, and her daughter, Coyolxauhqui (or, “bells for cheeks”), the moon goddess. Coatlicue (or, “serpent skirt”) is represented by a massive stone sculpture, about 9 feet tall, in Temple Mayor. She has clawed hands, taloned feet, and wears a necklace of human hearts and hands. Truly the earth goddess, she is the giver and the taker of life. Coyolxauhqui, on the other hand, is made of a large, carved stone disk, and shows a woman with dismembered limbs, a skull + snake belt, and monster-face joints. 

As the myth goes, she was magically impregnated by a ball of hummingbird feathers, giving birth to full-grown Huitzilopochti. Due to Coyolxauhqui’s disapproval of her mother, she and her 400 siblings, the stars, she decapitated her while attempting to kill her. However, Huitzilopochtli came to the rescue of his mother and defended her from his sister, severing many of her limbs. It is because of this battle in the sky, between Huitzilopochti and Coyolxauhqui that the sun sets and rises every twelve hours. This makes these moments where the sky changes moments of extreme precaution. 

Because of these spiritual beliefs, the Aztecs created a ritual where a human would be sacrificed at the top of Temple Mayor. Their blood would be poured on the statue of Coatlicue. Then, their bodies would be rolled down the temple, to land on the flat stone of Coyolxauhqui. This occurred on “Panquetzaliztli”, or the Raising of the Banners Festival, which was devoted to the reenactment of the snake-mountain myth. This day was based on the Aztec Calendar, which  was basically a 260 day-count recording of important ritual events of the fifth era. 

Aside from their temples and statues, the Aztecs also celebrated their “skull racks”, which consisted of about 60 skulls that were embedded into the architecture. The skulls were also decorated and worn as masks. The skull itself symbolizes the idea of human sacrifice, as it came from within our skin and represents death. It’s impressive to me how the Aztecs embraced death as a natural part of life.
