great question. while a lot of these gofundmes started to fund evacuations, since the border will not open they have shifted to covering the costs of daily survival in gaza

the cost of food alone in gaza right now has been reported by journalists on the ground (including @siraj2024) to be 20 times the normal price.

and it varies based on location. the north is currently being starved by the IOF so food prices are higher

and there is a lot of evidence on tumblr that proves that these fundraisers do help

@ma7moudgaza2 was able to buy a tent for his family and is currently trying to pay for a solar panel

@siraj2024 was able to secure rent for a (bombed out, but still) apartment for his family over the winter

@mohdiwais was able to fund medical care for his sister after she was shot by the IOF using funds he raised on tumblr

a gaza-based charity called care for gaza has also been directly assisting families with funds used from their gofundme. they even post videos of themselves giving out food

and those are just a few examples. hope this helped!

i have understood so many things about online leftist culture by the fact that when i said "your local community has people you will morally and politically disagree with but you cannot lock them out of accessing any tangible service you’re organising" one of the tags responding said "this isn’t about proshippers in here you’re not welcome" like. folks. focus with me. some of us are homeless here.

There's a disconnect happening here because the primary function of social media for most casual users is to form a circle of friends around the usual things that friendships are built on: shared interests and lifestyles and ideas of what is important and what is unacceptable. When people are mainly doing leftism on social media, this encourages thinking of leftism as centered around establishing high-minded social clubs.

For anyone who still isn't getting it from someone who helps people IRL: There's a difference between whom you're helping to feed at the mealshare and whom you're choosing to hang out with for fun after the mealshare. You don't have to invite a hungry person with opinions you don't like to play board games with you, but you do have to help keep them from starving if you're serious about leftist organizing.

@serregon too good to leave in the tags

Can you say something about fat people that doesn’t involve the phrase “tummy squish” or any variants thereof. Quickly

I know a couple fat guys and they're good electricians

hey reminder btw bc I'm already starting to see this I know we're all emotional and all

but do not discuss legally actionable things on tumblr

not " in minecraft" , not via slang, not Just Joking, not at all

absolutely plan what you're gonna plan but either (ideally) don't do it online or , if you must, use MUCH more secure means

something something summary line, just practice basic internet safety . in minecraft.

A reminder from the National Lawyers Guild:

**Slow campaign in need of boost**

I'm reaching out to ask for your help in spreading this campaign for Ghadar from Gaza. Ghadar is facing severe challenges, and any support can make a big difference in providing essentials like food, medical care, and shelter.

Please consider donating if you can, and help by sharing the link with others to spread the word.

Every share and donation counts, and your support means a lot. Thank you!

Vetted by @gazavetters here line 6

Please boost this campaign as well. Tumblr keeps throttling Ghadar's account and making it harder for him to advocate for himself!

I don't know how to verbalize this properly because I'm frustrated and I've been frustrated and tired for so long.

I don't have sympathy left for white liberals putting on a song and dance of how these election results are a huge blow to their mental health and everyone checking in with everyone "don't do anything you can't undo! take care of yourself! go to therapy! make sure you talk to someone!"

And I think it's because of just how these same people saying that shit were the ones talking down to Palestinians constantly about our personal decision surrounding the vote. To them, this is the worst case scenario. Power shifting hands from one warmongering egomaniac to another. Ignoring the fact that, to us, the worst case scenario has already happened and has been happening for over a year.

I am keeping up hope because I owe it to the people in Gaza to be hopeful about the future -- their future.

But speaking on myself, I have not been okay for a long time. I am not the same person I was a year ago. I am tired and nothing in my life feels worthwhile. I don't even feel like a person anymore.

And I have to watch white people who are, as we speak, sending harassment to my friends and other Palestinians, cry and whine about how it's the end of the world.

Did you check in with your Palestinian friends (assuming you have any with the way you act) when the world ended for them?? Do you regularly check in with your Palestinian friends who don't feel normal anymore? Who haven't felt normal for a while? Who don't even remember what normal feels like?

Or are we just expected to stay strong and hold your hand when you're sad?
