Please help me buy a new tent to protect us from this cold, wind and rain 🙏🏻😥💔💔💔
Welcome
I would like to tell you that I am from Gaza, where we now live under bombs, explosives, and warplanes from which we cannot sleep for many nights, and other things. This war has destroyed our bodies, our lives, and our souls. It has destroyed our homes, taken everything from us, destroyed all places, changed all landmarks, and changed our situation for the worse. We used to live fine. And peace and love of life, and here we live in hunger, fear, and terror, me, my children, and the rest of my family, and we do not have the minimum necessities for life, and we live in very dilapidated tents.We do not know how to act when winter comes upon us. We will be drowned by the rain and wind, and I will not know how to protect my children or my family, neither from the bombing nor from the winter. Therefore, I beg you to help me so that I, my children, and my family can live and survive this hideous war
tabarae bimablagh basit w law b 10$ .
💔It is very important that our lives are in danger💔
We stand in line every minute we spend without your help. Every morning we wake up to a sound like this or hear news of martyrs. We do not know if it will be our turn or not. We need your help to save us from here and save our lives and the lives of my little children. They do not deserve to live in a situation like this, they deserve a better life. I hope that you will help me and donate so that I can get out of here. Our situation is tragic and very bad. I hope that good people will see this and help us.
A donation may be a reason to save the lives of innocent people from death🥹
Donate with $10, $5, or something simple🙏🏻💔

Save Baby anaam’s Life!🙏🏻😭
My 10-month-old daughter, Anam, is fighting for her life in the hospital. Every day that passes without comprehensive treatment increases her risk of developing the disease. We are doing our best, but the exorbitant medical costs are beyond our ability.😭
Her life depends on your kindness and generosity. Any donation, no matter how small, can make the difference between hope and despair.🥹🙏🏻💔
Help us give Enaam a chance at life. Donate and share her story with your friends. Please, my friend, don't leave me here alone.🙏🏻💔💔😭😭🙏🏻
Help my baby 🍉😭
GAZA HAS NO FOOD. NO WATER. NO AID.
For 43 days, Gaza has been under complete siege. No food is entering. No clean water. No fuel. No medicine. Children are starving. Parents are digging through rubble for their loved ones. Hospitals are collapsing. Lives are fading — and the world is watching.
My son is one of the wounded. He was severely injured in an Israeli airstrike. Shrapnel tore through his tiny body. He is bleeding and in urgent need of advanced surgery that cannot be done in Gaza.
As a mother, my heart is breaking — not only from his pain but from my helplessness.
Please, I am begging you: help me save my son’s life.
He needs urgent evacuation for medical care outside Gaza. Every second counts. Every dollar can make the difference between life and death.
Please Donate now:👇👇 👇

Donation Match Campaign for Majed + Donation Doodle Campaign for Hamada
Hi folks, there's 2 campaigns I'm organizing for 2 families in Gaza. Basically, momentum has slowed on the first campaign and I'm floundering trying to get the 2nd one off the ground.
Donation Match for Majed
SO! Firstly, I'll be matching donations to Majed's campaign up to $500 USD, starting today 3/18 till the next time I send him a wire. So please help me make it count double 🔥🔥 (Or more?? 👀). To participate, please reblog the post for his campaign with a screenshot of your donation + 2 fire emoji 🔥🔥 and I will match it. Hide any personal details you'd like.
Donation Doodles for Hamada
SECONDLY, I just created a campaign for Hamada a few days ago and it has yet to receive any traction so I'm going to be doing 5-10 min doodle requests for any donations of $5 or more made to his campaign. To participate, please reblog the post for his campaign with a screenshot of your donation + 🌞 a sun emoji + a character you'd like me to draw. Request your blorbos request your OCs, request a pokemon, or anything
reblogs of this post are much appreciated as well, please spread the word! I'll be getting to the doodle requests throughout the day, but will be more free to do them in the evening.
There is very bad news, my friends, which is the resumption of the war on Gaza and the end of the ceasefire. The occupation is randomly targeting civilians, the crossings have been closed for a month, goods are very expensive, and the people of Gaza are living through the worst phase of their lives now. The number of victims in one day has reached 430 martyrs, and the situation is very, very difficult. Donate whatever you can, even if it is just a little money, to help us and save us from this genocide.🙏🏻
Donate to Majed!!!
Majed ( @majeeeeeeddddd / @majedelsleybe ) asked me to create a fundraising campaign for him after @buildabear had to close their gfm because of bank issues. I made it on chuffed and you can find it here:
Majed has previously been vetted by association through his friend @ahmadresh2 , see #3 here
Anything helps so please if you can! Donate and be so so so cool
Help Majed save his family!!
Majed is only 19 years old and yet he and his family are fighting to live each day, he is a friend of Ahmed ((@/ahmadresh2)) who has a verified campaign.

Hello👋🏻🤗
I am Majed from Gaza🍉🤍
These photos of our destoryed house and our burnt car the children of our neighbourhood are playing and having fun Despite all this pain the israeli occupation are practising against us the policy of starvation plus the prices of food are very high so we need to a simple donation to feed the starved children🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻🇵🇸.
PLEASE DON’T SCROLL BY!!
We are in desperate need of help. We are a family of ten trying to survive in northern Gaza. Our landlord keeps increasing our rent, and we will be at the mercy of the drones and the tanks if we have to leave, on top of having to leave behind all of our belongings. Every kind of food at the market now costs a fortune and there are no jobs available due to the dangerous situation outside, so we have to fully rely on this campaign.
Starvation is making people around us more and more desperate and I’m scared. Robbers have attacked the families living next to our building. If we get kicked out, we will know the same fate. We can only count on ourselves and the kind souls who have money to spare for us. I swear I just want a miracle to put an end to this crazy situation, I want my life back…
Please help, I swear I’ll be thankful for anything. Share at least if you can’t afford to donate.

DONATE HERE
Please don’t abandon us, this is our only lifeline 😭
i think terfs should go eat glass
Transphobia almost always has collateral damage towards cis women.
This person claims she cares about "women's rights."
But her little jokey post basically threw every tall and broad-shouldered cis woman under the bus.
This took 10 seconds of googling.
These posts represent thousands of women struggling with the exact same issue. The US has nearly 2 million women over 6 feet. And this "women's rights" advocate is telling them they don't have a woman's body.
Dresses are for women!*
*Just not tall women or muscular women or wide shouldered women.
Bathroom bans are creating the same problems. I keep hearing about cis women who are being harassed because they have features deemed too masculine.
Sports bans have led to invasive medical testing of cis women. They need to get testosterone checked. Schools ask about menstrual cycles. And now with more bans going in place, they are requesting private medical records to prove the sex of young children.
And don't get me started on self-appointed trans police.
Imane Khelif is still getting harassed even though the entire controversy was proven to be Russian disinformation. She's "dangerous" even though that style of boxing is point based and much safer than punch-until-they-go-to-sleep boxing. Quick punches are preferred over powerful ones. It's literally designed that way so people get bloody noses instead of chronic brain injuries. JK didn't know that and didn't care because she had to make an example of someone.
These people will hurt and harass and lie about *anyone* if it furthers their agenda.
If cis women or girls get harmed in the process, they do not give a shit.
That is bigot behavior.
So, yes… BIGOT!

we're all aware of hypermobility right?
well let's raise awareness for hypomobility.
as a person born with cerebral palsy that left me hypomobile in different areas of my body, it can be debilitating. I can't do certain things without feeling my muscles stretch and being in severe pain. sometimes, different joints lock up in place and won't move. it's scary, there's been times where I thought it would stay stuck forever. I have less range of motion than an average person.
but nobody ever talks about hypomobility. all the attention goes to hypermobility. which has made me feel left out and less valid in the disability community.
lets raise awareness for hypomobility. we need all the same support and recognition hypermobility has
feel free to reblog <3
Mothers day is just a week away, please support and help evacuate disabled mom Nara and her family!
Send support to givebutter.com/NaraMedicalAid
They need $17,500 to evacuate their family and the rest will go towards medical treatments for her Pancreatic cancer and MS which were both brought on by a white phosphorus exposure in 2008.
Please support this verified give butter that I verified myself and please share with your networks! Sending direct messages to people, texting and calling with specific asks for support work the best, so please take a little time out of your day to share mindfully!
Nara cannot share her own campaign because only her immediate family knows of her disabilities and cancer, so it is our responsibility to get her funded!

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙
By the way, if you post about being a trans ally, but only ever talk about trans femmes and trans women, we notice. If you never include trans men in your activism, we notice. If you imply trans men don't "need" your help and activism like trans women, we notice. You either care about all trans people, or you don't actually care about trans people.
in recognition of World Down Syndrome Day on March 21
basically, not all of us people with eds are hypermobile, and we shouldnt reduce ehlers danlos to just being hypermobile with stretchy skin.
I have hEDS, the most common type of EDS, where you do get hypermobility, but even hEDS is more than that.
i really wish that ehlers-danlos syndrome wasn't basically just thought of as the "bendy" disorder. firstly, there are more than 13 types of eds, and they all have varying relations to and degrees of hypermobility. secondly, eds are a collection of congenital connective tissue disorders - connective tissue makes up a vast majority of your body and, because of this, eds, hsd, and other congenital connective tissue disorders like loey-dietz, marfans, stickler syndrome, and osteogenesis imperfecta are multi systemic.
having eds or another connective tissue disorder is SO much more than just some flexibility and it's especially frustrated that they're often thought of solely in relation to that one aspect of them because it leads a lot of people down the path of misdiagnosis.
as an advocate and educator regarding ctds and especially eds, i have spoken to SO many people who simply wrote the possibility of them having a ctd like ehlers-danlos off simply because they aren't flexible. it's such a dangerous misconception and really frustrating to see especially given the fact that the muscles of hypermobile people often overcompensate to make up for joint laxity, which can actually lead to a lack of flexibility/high tone/spasticity
so yeah, tl;dr: if you have a bunch of multisystemic symptoms that seem largely unconnected, look into connective tissue disorders. they're much more common than people think, frequently go under the radar, and can really wreck havoc on your body - ESPECIALLY when you aren't aware that you have one
they dont see us as human
They're straight up bringing the useless eater shit back.

You're welcome.

10 top ways shoplifters get caught
This was written by an LP, i merely copied and pasted it. REBLOG AND INFORM
Despite what you may have heard, there is no perfect shoplifting method. You can be caught NO MATTER how you try to steal. A lot of it is the luck of the draw. Is LP in the store? Are they busy with another shoplifter? Are they watching you? There is no way you can be sure. You can be sure however, that you significantly increase your chances of getting yourself caught when:
10)You carry a flat purse or back-pack: Fairly obvious, right? Not only is this an attention grabber, but it also makes the LP Agent’s job much easier. Your bag was flat, and then magically became full right after all the merchandise you were carrying disappeared. Did the LP Agent watch you fill your bag? That does not really matter. The LP Agent did not need to see concealment (See my article: The 6 Steps of Loss Prevention) to confidently make a stop on you. It is fairly obvious. Most LP Agents will make that stop. On top of being obvious, entering a store with an empty bag can also bump your charge from petty theft to burglary.
9)You over-act: You pick up the item you plan on stealing. You begin tapping on it, wiggling it, playing with it, and looking around like everything is cool. Yes, people actually think this works. When you take this approach you are basically telling LP Agents “Hey, I am not going to steal this! Look, I’m playing with it out in the open. I wouldn’t be doing that if I were going to steal it.” Then you steal it. Happens all the time.
8)You under-act: You pick up the item you are going to steal and immediately palm the item, or hold it behind something. You then quickly walk off to the most deserted part of the store. The race is on. The LP Agent knows he needs to get a view of you, either on camera or on the floor to witness the concealment.
7)You are overly friendly: You come in and immediately start chatting with store employees. You’re such a nice person! You would never steal. This will work when trying to deceive regular workers but LP is not falling for it. I have even had employees try to stop me from making an apprehension because they thought I was going to make a bad stop on that “nice” person. When I see someone being overly friendly with cashiers, managers or anybody with a name tag, I immediately become suspicious. They could be a genuinely nice person but nice people steal too.
6)You fail the “scare test”: When I suspect somebody is a shoplifter I will often give them the scare test. This means I will have several people walk past the area where my suspect is looking at items. A normal shopper will pay little to no attention to who is around them. A nervous shoplifter will turn their head at everyone that passes by. Often times they will look them up and down evaluating whether or not they seem like an undercover. When this happens it is a good indicator that I should set up on this person and wait for them to “go”.
5)You are bringing non-clothing items into the fitting room: Some people actually think that if they conceal merchandise in the fitting room that they can not be arrested by Loss Prevention Agents. This is because it eliminates the possibility of the LP Agent’s step # 3. This might work on some LP Agents, but certainly not the one’s that are good at what they do. If I see someone bringing something into the fitting room that is not supposed to be tried on such as DVDs, Jewelry, makeup, etc., they have my full attention until I see them exit the fitting room carrying that merchandise. Believe me, bringing stuff into the fitting room is a false sense of security and it will get you caught.
4)You are leaving an evidence trail: You select the item you want to steal. You are not sure if the item will make the door beep or not so you decide to remove the item from the package. Or maybe you want to pretend the item was already your’s so you rip the tags off. Now you can conceal the item. However, you also need to rid yourself of the package. So you discard it on the shelf, or you hide it behind something. You just made the LP Agents job 95% easier. Maybe they did not see you conceal the item, but they did see you toss something down or hide something. They find the package. Now LP knows what the item is, they know you removed it from the package (this is vandalism and is illegal), and they know you are up to no good. When you walk out of the store, all the LP Agent needs to do is approach you with the empty package and demand that you return the item. They will likely tell you that you are on video opening it (you may or may not be). They will tell you that if you do not return the item you will be charged with vandalism (this trick is likely against their LP policy but it is completely legal). Once you produce the item you are under arrest for theft. It is a lose-lose situation that you created by leaving a trail of packages and tags.
3)You have “shifty” eyes: Everyone knows that you are not supposed to blatantly look for cameras or look around for people when you are going to steal. However, it seems that the majority overcompensates. When you look up to the ceiling and then side to side without moving your head, you have “shifty eyes”. Shifty eyes get shoplifters caught every day. In fact, if I am about to give up on a perspective shoplifter and they shift their eyes, I will watch them until they leave the store, no exceptions.
2)You use two hands: As an LP Agent, nothing catches my eye more than somebody with both hands on the sales shelf. When an honest shopper looks at a product of interest on the sales shelf, they typically take the item in one hand and remove it from the shelf to look at it in the open. When a shoplifter puts both hands on a product and does not remove the object from the shelf it is a DEAD GIVE AWAY that they are opening something. I have caught shoplifters that I otherwise would not have even noticed simply because they used two hands!
1)You just plain look like a shoplifter: You know who you are! This is by far the most common reason people get caught. If you fit the stereotypical profile of someone who would likely shoplift you are likely being watched as an “easy stat”. So if you have 10 facial piercings, and a bright green mohawk, or if you’re just a shady looking character, don’t do it.

PSA
-OCD is not a synonym for neat or preoccupied with tidiness. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is all about distressing intrusive thoughts and rituals (compulsions) used to combat those thoughts.
-Intrusive thoughts are not synonymous with silly things I want to do. They're deeply upsetting, often taboo mental apparitions. Letting them win is the last thing anyone wants, and nobody is immoral for having them. (See 'impulsive thoughts' if you need a term.)
-Anorexic is not a synonym for thin or emaciated. The majority of anorexic people have OSFED atypical anorexia – that is, their BMI is above 18.5. You cannot judge the severity of someone's illness by their appearance. (If you're worried about someone, look out more for rapid weight loss than thinness, even when it's occurring in someone in a larger body. 10kg in 10 weeks is never a good thing.)
-Eating disorders are not synonymous with just anorexia and bulimia. Anorexia is an ED, but it's nowhere near the most common. Bulimia is an ED, but again, not the most common. Together, they do not constitute the most common. The most common ED is binge-eating disorder, and the second most common is atypical anorexia, which is one of many, many OSFED categories. Those living with ARFID, pica, night-eating syndrome, rumination disorder, subthreshold BN, subthreshold BED, and orthorexia all deserve dignity, compassion, and acknowledgement. Remember: EDs are not necessarily thin, and never glamorous.
-Schizophrenic is not a synonym of all over the place, abnormal, unpredictable, dangerous, or crazy. Nor is schizoid or schizotypal. Folks with schizophrenia spectrum disorders live with hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thoughts/behaviour, and/or catatonia. They are far more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators, and go to huge lengths to act okay even when distressed by symptoms.
-Schizophrenic is also not a synonym of multiple personalities/volatile. For the disorder involving having different facets of personality that are generally unaware of each other, see Dissociative Identity Disorder, and even then, don't assume it's a) dramatic as it is in the movies; b) evil; or c) trivial. DID is a trauma disorder.
-Delusional is not a synonym of wrong. Nor is it the same as this politician/friend is saying something I do not like/that is potentially dangerous. Delusions are false, fixed beliefs held despite evidence. And generally, folks with delusions don't tend to proselytise them. I know that certain politicians have beliefs that seem to persist in the face of evidence, but nevertheless, we don't need to stigmatise mental illness further to call out poor political/social behaviour. If you need a word for the pundit spewing potentially dangerous content, use 'dangerous' or 'wrong', but don't call them delusional.
-Bipolar is not a synonym of all over the place or fluctuating results. Bipolar disorder involves mood states that, even in the rapid cycling form, tend to last at least 3-4 days (mania) and weeks (depression). If you need a word for the weather, use 'British' instead.
-Psychotic is not a synonym of evil. Psychosis is losing touch with reality, whether it be through hallucinations or delusions. It doesn't make a person bad or violent. It's just a neurological phenomenon that may be distressing. It's also relatively common: 6-15% of people will hallucinate in their lifetime.
-ADHD is not a synonym of just quirky/scattered/forgetful/unfocussed/lazy/careless. ADHD is fundamentally a disorder of being able to choose where to direct attention, rather than of just I can't focus. If someone can't tune out the noise of the crowd, but can't prevent themself focussing on something trivial because their brain is wired that way, it's not laziness or just being quirky/scattered.
-Autistic meltdown is not a synonym of temper tantrum.
-Borderline is not a synonym of harridan.
-Narcissist is not a synonym of abuser.
-Mentally ill is not a synonym of volatile or bad person. This doesn't mean we have to make something artificially positive out of mental disorders. If there is good to be found in certain disorders, great; if there is nothing positive about living with certain others, that doesn't make you any less real or resilient than anyone else. It's okay to have complex feelings about your own disorders. It's okay to feel exhausted or frustrated by a disorder. But never should anyone have to face stigma.
