if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to the National Network of Abortion Funds, the Trans Law Center, Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted
life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work. that matters
can americans realize that your country affects the rest of the world and we know about every single fucking thing that happens in the united states of fucking america. we know about the voter suppression and the gerrymandering and the electoral process of your nation. we can also see the popular vote results. and we can be disappointed by how this decision on another continent affects our lives because that's unfortunately how the world works hope this helps
All you "I won't vote for Kamala because of Gaza" people: HEADS UP!
You've got a wannabe dictator speaking to another wannabe dictator every fucking day to PREVENT A CEASEFIRE versus a candidate calling for a ceasefire.
Vote accordingly or I swear to gods you'll wake up one day and look back wishing you could change that one little decision.
It's been reported multiple times that Trump is out there encouraging Netanyahu to keep up the bombing while Harris and Biden are working to end it and yet some people dare to say they aren't going to try to get Harris elected and act like that won't directly result in more deaths and violence in this conflict. Shame on you.
Palestinians are literally out there right now saying Trump winning - which is what will happen if everyone doesn't get out there and vote for Harris - would be a worst case scenario for them (x). Don't you dare appropriate their struggle to try to justify your failure to do everything in your power to stop the Fascist GOP from getting into office.
Vote Blue all the way down the ballot. Lives are on the line. And if the GOP gets in you may not get a chance to vote again.
happy daylight savings to those who observe
the obvious.
Happy 21st of September!
It is that time of the year again. This night, is the 21ST NIGHT OF SEPTEMBER 🗣️🔥
Below are a list of fundraisers that I have been sent. All of these have been vetted by either @/90-ghost, @/el-shab-hussein or @/nabulsi. They're also GFM's that have been shared by @/vetted-gaza-funds, @/northgazaupdates, @/gaza-evacuation-funds and @/riding-with-the-wild-hunt
If you see this, please help in anyway you can and if you can't assist financially, please reblog this post.
Vetted GFM's
These GFMs are unvetted at this stage from what i can see but they appear to be legitimate so I am going to include them in the event that they are vetted sometime after this is posted.
Other ways to support
Sources where you can find vetted fundraisers (from @/vetted-gaza-funds):
**Links to previous Vetted GFM Masterlists that I have created can be found in the source of this post.**
surviving the current age of internet means saying no to subscriptions and premiums for basic features. you must endure the inconvenience of not being able to use every server emoji in discord. you must build the patience to find alternatives like NewPipe so you can listen to music on youtube while your phone screen sleeps. do Not give these corporations your limited disposable income. tiktok not letting me view videos on my phone without downloading the app? i will outlast tiktok and the execs will be remembered as dull,disgusting capitalists. listen to me, listen to me. if you do not know how to pirate shows from hulu, learn. if you can't pirate it, it is not worth the money to rent it. please i'm on my hands and knees. do not accept this form of internet.
follow up
say YES to artist owned platforms. say yes to nebula for your favorite funny person or informative commentator. say yes or even join cartoonist.coop to support sustainable income for your favorite artist. use the money you saved from cancelling webtoons and commission a new artist for a silly icon pic. i'm telling you it's worth it!

EDIT: I reached the limit number of mentions you can make in one post, so I'm making a second post and you can find it here
Part 2:
Last updated: August 10th, 2024
Edit: I've seen some confusion so I would like to clarify: I don't vet these myself. I check the blogs have been vetted by other people (mainly Palestinian bloggers) before sharing the links. I invite you to verify the blogs/campaigns yourself if you would like, but please know I do try my best to check the campaigns have been verified before sharing them. It's very unlikely for me to share campaigns that haven't been verified
Edit 2: I've added verification links to all the campaigns, so you can see why I trust these blogs. I also added them to the original post

girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”
girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”
horror movie jock: “it’s only a myth, don’t worry”
