No Matter Your Answer, You Have Another Opportunity Right Now.

While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

sokka zuko and kendo

probably going to be a very unpopular (and long) post, but whatever here goes (scroll to the very bottom for a tldr):

i’ve been a die hard fan and supporter of @taylorswift since pretty much the start of her career. i’ve loved everything she stood for, i loved her music, her representation for women and the queer community.

however, these past few months since the unyielding g*nocide of palestinians committed by israhell has only grown, documented and shared to the world by palestinians themselves, taylor’s silence is now becoming deafening. those tears she cried for women’s rights in miss americana, the way she urged her fans to register to vote so women don’t lose their rights, where is that woman now? where is That taylor when there are women being k*lled, SA’d, miscarrying, having to use tent scraps as sanitary pads, becoming childless, being ethnically cleansed off this earth? where is her avocation for Those women? and not just palestinian women, but women in other colonized countries as well.

she has not spoken up since miss americana about anything that she has previously advocated for, not just women’s rights, but LGBTQ+ rights as well. when queer and trans people have been losing their rights across the u.s., where was she?

i know a lot of people will say “she was protecting herself,” but she is one of the most powerful and influential women in this world, what could she possibly need protection from? she is a white privileged billionaire, and when her fans are asking that she speak up about this g*nocide, she chooses to ignore us.

and i don’t want to hear that she doesn’t owe us an explanation, because she absolutely does. it is us, her fans, that support her in her career financially, we care about the content she puts out into the world and we spend our money on it, we elevate her voice and her art, so why do we not deserve to know if she supports palestinian? why does she not in return listen to and elevate the voices of her fans?

there have been countless artists and celebs who’ve spoken up for and supported palestine—lauren juaregui, kehlani, renee rapp, macklemore, avantika, and more—who are much smaller than taylor swift, and yet their careers have not been impacted negatively, instead they have even more support of those who do not condone this g*nocide. her career will absolutely not be impacted by showing her support, so again, why does she continue to be silent?

i am tired of hearing nothing but silence from taylor. i don’t want to support someone who is okay with thousands of people being k*lled, who is okay with the starvation that 1.4 million palestinians are facing, who is okay with palestinian men being tortured in concentration camps, who is okay with 600,000+ children and orphans trapped in rafah, all by the doing of colonizers, the western powers, and by our own president.

tldr; i am calling taylor swift out for being a hypocrite these last few years, and especially these last few months, when it comes to advocating for women and her silence in the g*nocide of the palestinian people. she really could have made a difference with the power she holds. @taylorswift @taylornation

i’m not very active on here, but i will not be posting taylor content, and on the occasions that i do post, it will be to advocate for palestinians, as well as those who openly support the cause. (i am much more active on my other social media accounts, and if you would like to follow to see more constant palestine content, please let message me and let me know!)

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

URGENT HELP 🚨

Hello dears, it's Ola, I write to you today in the most difficult circumstances I have ever faced in my life, circumstances that have become unbearable. Life has been harsh on us in ways we never expected, and we are now unable to provide for even the most basic needs, such as food, water, and everything essential for survival. Prices have skyrocketed in an unimaginable way, and we are left powerless against this harsh reality.💔

Since I started my campaign, I have placed all my hopes and dreams in it to improve my life and my family's life. I hoped we would find a helping hand, that we would feel there are people who care for us. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has helped us in the past, and to those who will support us today. You are our only hope.🥺

But today, I need you more than ever, more than any moment I've gone through. I need your help, your love, and your compassionate hearts. We are going through an incredibly tough time, and mercy only comes from hearts like yours. Please, your feeling for us is the only hope left. We have nothing but your prayers and support.

If you read my story, perhaps you would understand that it was never expected for me to be in this situation, begging for help from others. Life can be cruel at times, but there are still compassionate hearts that can light our way and change our fate.

Please, read my story, feel for me and my family, because we are truly in desperate need of your help. Please don’t abandon us, because if we don’t find hope in you, we don’t know where we will turn. I may not have many followers on my blog (due to my original blog being deleted), but I believe in you, I believe in your help, and I believe in your sharing of this post, which could change our lives. 🙏🥺

My opportunity for internet access is very limited, so please, share this message as widely as possible. Be the shadow that saves me and my family.

Trump's Newest Executive Order

Discourse aside, I am so fucking sorry for the trans youth that have to fucking see their rights get taken away by that fucking vile man. I am so sorry. I am scared that they will come for the rest of us. I knew this would happen because this is what they wanted. They want us to die off. It is going to be so fucking hard. Even if you don't like me for my views on certain things or you're thinking that I am fucking annoying as hell, I am here for all trans people in the United States. I will not let discourse come in the way of caring about other trans people. I don't care about your views about certain things right now. I don't. I care about you staying alive. I care about us making it and showing them that we are stronger than them and we always will be. I care about every single one of you even if you don't fit in and others might hate you. I care about you even if I have argued with you and maybe blocked you. I care about every single one of you. I feel like the far right might be in power for longer than these four years, and that's why I am talking about this right now.
