Help Hashem afford shelter!

This is my friend Hashem @support-heshem (shown here with his son Nabil). Hashem has been trapped in the middle of a brutal genocide for over 400 days. Even more tragically, he was forcibly separated from his beloved family a year ago, when they evacuated and he was made to stay behind. You can read more about his experiences here, as well as on his blog.

Tragically, his tent (pictured below) was recently destroyed in a bombing and he now has no shelter! He and his extended family urgently need to raise enough money for three new tents, which will total about $3,600.

Vetted as #102 on the gazavetters spreadsheet: [x]

In the past day and a half he has raised £185, but he needs £1,015 more to buy even one tent!

Please match my £10 donation so that Hashem can afford shelter!

people who work in food and also salt enthusiasts:

lend me your taste buds. I have to eat massive salt every day for medical reasons and these little gel tubs are the best fucking thing that I have ever tried in terms of an all-in-one instant broth/stock/concentrate/boullion option. I just shove one of these things into a cup and add water and I am off to the races and in the lead.

these are expensive and hard to find. does anyone know if knorr makes big bulk versions of their gel pots, or if there is some other instant broth thing with a similar complexity of flavor? like some kind of fucked up syrup or box of gel? no pre-boxed liquid stuff, I need to be able to keep it in some kind of condensed form to save space. something that you reconstitute with water.

the higher the sodium, the better. but the better the taste, the more I will be chugging. and by chugging I mean the salt

CBC's Donation Drive!

I am always telling others to act, and so, I've been thinking about how I can better utilize my platform to help others. My friend Ibtisam inspired me with her own idea to write thank you cards for those who are donating to lifesaving causes!

So, here's my own, LINK included!

I will be writing up to 100 thank you cards for those who donate at least $10 to any campaign or fundraising program of their choice. This can be individual GoFundMes, SudanFunds, GazaFunds, the PCRF, The Sameer Project, the Sudanese American Physicians Association (SAPA), Friends of the Congo... so many options. I'll take any of them. If you donate $20 or more, I'll even write you a specialized card with whatever you want (200 character max, appropriate things) !

At least one campaign I personally want to promote is that of my friend, Amal's ( @amjo429 ).

Y'all seem to think I have the patience of a saint, but it is nothing compared to the kindness and patience Amal has shown me despite everything happening in her life. A pharmacist that cares about others through and through. She deserves a fighting chance. Her family deserves a fighting chance.

I hope you consider taking the time to participate, and if not, at least reblogging to those who may be interested!

There are campaigns in the notes that could also use help! If you have $10 extra this week, why not donate?

The RSF is getting more vicious as the military closes in on them. Instead of fighting their opponents, they’re turning on unarmed civilians and channeling all their hatred and evil on them.

This is (hopefully) obviously a last attempt to burn the house down behind them before they’re run out.

This means Sudanese people need you to talk about them more than ever right.

Another fundraiser I trust!

We're not currently vetting fundraisers, this is just one I forgot to post a while back!

This is a fundraiser for a woman - whose husband has gone missing or been martyred - and her children, one of whom is newborn.

They are only at 2% of their goal!!

Two children and a woman who could greatly use the support right now.

I personally love movies that turn on the waterworks, the last one for me was the movie Mary and Max!

Mohammed @mohammedalanqar and his family (his wife Enas, and four children, Layan, Sarah, Adam, and Amir) haven't had the luxury of even a roof over their head or toys or plentiful food since the war on Gaza began! Let alone going to the movies!

I have been talking regularly with Mohammed, he sends me photos of his children, the lights of his life, regularly, and asks me how I am going!

Please, if you have anything to spare, please spare something for the Alanqar family! They are almost at their goal!

They are vetted here on nabulsi and el-shab-hussein's spreadsheet here (174)!

Be you @grahamkennedy Great person and classy friend who tries to help my family. ♥️🌺

Mohammed has less than €3000 left to raise for his family’s GoFundMe campaign!

I have also been speaking with Mohammed this past week, he is a deeply kind and thoughtful person. Everyone spreading his campaign has done a great job raising funds, there’s just one final push to get him 100% of the way there!

Another fundraiser I trust!

We're still paused on vetting fundraisers. This is just another fundraiser I forgot to post a while back.

This family is currently struggling to access even electricity enough to communicate with people who can help. They do not have access to most basic necessities and their fundraiser is only at 7% of what is needed. Please do not hesitate to help them!

Abed – @abdelraouf – is isolated and trapped in northern Ghazzah.

Having been separated from his family, Abed's intense hardship is being compounded by his loneliness. Abed's wife and two young sons managed to evacuate to the south – however, they are now struggling to collect basic supplies to survive. Abed's family is suffering and they need urgent help.

Abed's GFM is currently at €175. We are aiming to support him with reaching the short-term goal of €3,000 as soon as possible.

Please share and support this campaign. Every donation, no matter the amount, can make an immense difference.

Thank you for sharing the campaign, Abdul is my cousin, his campaign got 185 for 3000 as a simple and short-term goal. If each person donated $10, it will not affect his life, but it will affect the life of Abdul's wife and her children, donate any amount even if $5 will be more than useful.🫂‼️💔

His campaign gets only 305€ 💔

Urgent Call for Help: Every Donation Can Save Us

Dear friends,

I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart, hoping you can help me and my family through an incredibly tough period. So far, I've only been able to raise 390€ from my campaign, and the last donation I received was five days ago. While I am grateful for the support, we are still in desperate need of more.

My family is in real danger, and we are struggling to afford the basic necessities we need to survive—food, water, and other essential items. Every day is getting harder, and I am left with nothing but hope that you can help us.

If you are able to contribute, even with a small donation, it would make a huge difference in our lives. We need your help now more than ever. Every donation brings us one step closer to a better tomorrow.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far. I truly appreciate each and every one of you, and I hope you can continue to stand by us in these trying times.

Dear friends,

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us. We've raised 592€ so far, but it's still far less than what we need for our basic necessities. The situation is very difficult, and my family urgently needs more help.

Please continue to donate, even small amounts, and share the campaign with your families and friends. Every donation brings us closer to meeting our needs.

I would like to thank @gaza-evacuation-funds for their incredible support of my campaign.

One day i will write a poem that's not a numbered list of instructions

I kinda wanna post a8out something i posted a8out a while 8ack 8ecause i think i can word it 8etter this time

While an individual has the right to refer to their ids any way they wish, i do not like the way the general radqueer community considers any transitioned trans id a "cis id"

While some methods of transition can result in one being cis (for example: if a trans amputee gets an amputation, they become a cis amputee), not all of them do (for example: if a trace individual socially transitions to present as their race, this does not make them cis race)

This is not inherently invalidating of anyone's identity. Referring to a trans man as trans does not invalidate their identity as a man, and i feel we should think of other trans ids the same way. Your identity is your identity regardless of whether it is cis or trans

I 8elieve that the current status quo of transitioned ids often being referred to as cis ids (when they are not) perpetuates the dysphoria and invalidation some feel when their identity is acknowledged as trans rather than cis. We put cis ids on a pedestal, there8y treating trans as the inferior and less valid w8y to 8e. We need to get rid of the notion that trans ids are any less real or valid than cis ids and 8ecome more comforta8le calling ourselves trans

Take pride in your trans identity. A trans man is a man, as a trans amputee is an amputee, as trans asian individual is asian. I don't say this as a responsi8ility for trans individuals who struggle with dysphoria to such a great extent that they must refer to their identities as cis to alleviate it. This is not their 8attle to overcome. Rather, we as a community should perpetuate positivity and validity for trans ids on the s8me level as cis ids, just as the transgender community has done with gender, so that we can cre8 a more comforta8le sp8ce for those struggling to eventually come out of their shell and acknowledge th8y are trans without discomfort

“As we implement our new strategy of replacing tents based on areas and encampments most in need, we want to share with you this story of a family in dire conditions - this is the brother of the honorable martyr Refaat Alareer.

We have known about this extended family and the area they live in since mid July. However, it was not until this week that we could come in and serve this encampment of destroyed and makeshift tents.

Just to show you that no one in Gaza is immune to the suffering and pain, Refaat Alareer’s family, despite his magnitude as a Palestinian scholar and activist, is living in some of the worst tents we have seen.

It was our honor to assist them and respect the legacy of the man who we are so fortunate to have been given permission to name our camp after. Check back later in the week to see how we provided tents for Refaat’s brother’s family and supported the encampment that needed so much help.”

Please continue to give so we can serve these communities with shelter this winter. The Tents, Cash Aid, and Medical campaign:
